Namaste Michael ji.

It is not true that I have not studied PSA - I have not studied like you

The tell me, how do you agree with Dr Hegde that PSA postulate the
ontological reality for world without any standpoint. I have given citation
of PanchadashI and Tejobindu commentary which clearly postulate that
avidyA/world are mithyA from avidyA-drishTi, and tuchchhA from
Brahma-drishTi. There are hundreds other supporting citations. I don't want
to flood the mail. It is actually common sense. Snake is illusory from the
frame of reference of non-rope. Snake is tuchchha from
rope-frame-of-reference.

How can you not know this basic postulate of PSA and venture to refute them
by relying on half-baked articles of Dr Hegde and incorrect understanding
of SSSS ji.

Just appreciate what you are doing. In the name of some
shuddha-ShAnkara-prakriyA, you are contradicting common sense as well as
omniscient SAyaNAchArya, the commentator of VedAs. For what purpose? For
what use?
