[Advaita-l] Basic concepts of anumAna-pramANa

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

I have suggestions from a couple of members, by private mail, that you are
in the best position to take up the issue with Sri MDS for clarification
since you only can clarify to him any queries he might have on the topic.
Just for info.

Regards
