[Advaita-l] [advaitin] ajnAna is different from jnAna-abhAva, mithyA-jnAna and mithyA-jnAna-samskAra

It is very evident that those who oppose mulavidya, avidyalesha, etc. will never ever be successful in explaining the usage of 'samskara' by Shankara.


  *   As already clarified no need to read between the lines here to give the special status to avidyA saMskAra and push the theory of avidyA lesha which is an alien theory introduced by adhyAsaupAdAna vAdins.

It is a thorn in their flesh.



  *   mulAvidyA is a dangerous tumor in shankara’s parishuddha Advaita vedAnta, it should be nipped in bud.

While the term samskara has been equated to avidyalesha, what other meaning can be given for the term samskara?  This term used by the bhashyakara for explaining/accounting for the jnani continuing to live has become problematic for them.


Ø     Those who read and understand the samanvayAdhikaraNa bhAshya would clearly understand jnAni’s embodiedness (sashareeratvaM) and his individuality even after realizing his paripUrNata.


  *   Anyway we both discussed all these things with different perspectives N’ number of times.  Let us stop our charvita charvaNa 😊


Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
