[Advaita-l] Gaudapada and Shankara hold the waking objects to be mithya

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Venkat Ji,

I have a small problem in responding to your queries. While I can present
literally what Sri SSS has stated in different places, I may not be able to
justify or clarify his views. I can do so in some cases. But not where my
understanding  of the topic itself is different. I will not be doing
justice to him (Sri SSS) if I try to clarify in such cases. It will be upto
the readers to come to their own conclusions or may be discuss the same
with any of his (Sri SSS)  followers. I do have my own personal
understanding. But it may not be appropriate to present them as his (Sri
SSS) view as well.

I was just referring to the Appendix 1 to his BSB translation cum
commentary in kannada. He states under Section 4 that ** In this BSB avidyA
means adhyAsA only**.  This is just in continuation to my earlier post.
Regards
