Vishal - no words to express my thanks for the educative information.
Looks like I have to catch up with lot of reading. I will take up
your suggestion to study intensely Shreebhaashya before I venture
into taking up Bhagavaan Raamaanuja's criticism of Advaita system. I
am little bit familiar about the laghu, mahaa purvapaksha-s and
siddhanta-s of Ramanuja, particularly with reference to the avidya
aspect of advaita system. I am still collecting books on these and
also as your suggestion of Sudarshanasuuri's commentary as well - if
I can get hold of side by side good English commentary.
Currently in my notes on Brahmasuutra, I am restricting myself
predominantly to Shankara Bhaasya to do a justice to it. I am doing
elaborately to insure that the arguments presented are very clear at
least to myself first. I noticed Shankarabhagavatpaada spent lot of
discussion taking puurvamiimaamsa as puurvapaksha - particularly
Praabhakara and BhaaTTa matams under the pretext of explaining the
word 'tu' in the- tat tu samanvayaat -suutra. I am still writing on
that.
If and when I am through with Shankara Bhaasya I intend to take up
Shree bhaashya and study his criticism of Advaita from my
perspective.
I will take rain check from you to tap your wisdom and knowledge
whenever I need it. I did look into your web pages on
Sudarshanasuuri and Totakachaarya - They are very informative. Have
collected references from your list.
Thanks again with praNaam-s.
Hari Om!
Sadananda
