Dear Bhagavatas: The subject has been dealt with elaborately in the Chapter "Greatness of Ramanuja Darsanam" in my book "Hinduism Rediscovered". I believe a reading of this Chapter would clear such doubts. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ========================================================================== Please accept my humble pranams. I would like to listen to your clarifications on the following and benefit from it. In Advaita, if I understand it correctly, they say that everything else is Maya and once we realise the truth the Maya dis-appears and we become one with the Supreme. This implies that if one were to learn the scriptures (which will be part of the Maya domain) and understand the Truth, he/she would be doing so by reading something that is non existant and understand the Truth. The analogy given from Advaita standpoint to validate this is the Rope-snake analogy, where we can experience something real even from something that is unreal. In his refutation of this theory, is Sri Vedanta Desika saying the experiencing of the fear of snake can happen only if one knows the attributes and characteristics of the snake before hand, which is not the case wrt scriptures and the Truth ? Could somebody kindly tell if I have understood it correctly ? and if not please explain what is being said ? Thanks, Humble pranams. -ramesh ------------------------ Yahoo!
