[Advaita-l] Swami Sureswaracharya and avidyA

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste RK Garu.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am entirely in agreement. I do come across
many textual portions, during the course of mananam, which have the
potential of supplying the answer to my doubts. But not all of them have
additional commentaries which could help. Even when available, they remain
unknown or inaccessible. More often than not, the commentaries are mutually
contradictory. I have now found that there is a way out, by way of
discussions with AI. In these discussions, I dont take a definite stand nor
do I go by any declarations by AI. On the otherhand, I take upon myself a
dual role, of a Purva Pakshin as well as as a SiddhAntin. And seek The
contrarian views from AI for both with references from authoritative
commentaries. That helps in taking a final view. This is what I did the
results of which I posted in the PDF. It has been greatly helpful.

When I decided to post the PDF for possible benefit to other readers, I was
concerned that many may not even look into it, being weary recollecting the
sustained unending debate recently witnessed on the same topic. Hence I
wrote that it was not my intention to restart or continue with the same
debate. Purpose was different. If it  naturally gets people thinking and
sparks new conversations, well that would indeed be great !!.

Regards
