[Advaita-l] [advaitin] 'Adhyaropa apavada' found in Vivarana and other texts

[Jaishankar Narayanan]

Namaste,

All the gurus who taught me Vedanta said that each prakriya has an
Adhyaropa part and then an Apavaada to establish the svarupa of
Brahma-Atma. So I don't think this is true. Even in a basic prakarana like
Vedanta Sara after detailing Srishti, Avastha traya etc. the author says

एवमध्यारोपः ॥२०॥

In my discussions with SSS followers one thing I have noticed is that when
you point out the illogicality of their prakriya they will defend it by
taking refuge under adhyAropa. Maybe this is a new contribution :-)

with love and prayers,
Jaishankar
