[Advaita-l] rope-snake analogy.. again.. was: apauruSheyatva of the Veda

[Vikram Jagannathan]

Namaskaram Shri Bhaskar ji,

It is ironic that you should resuscitate the rope-snake analogy with your

One cannot hope to have a fruitful discussion without aligning on a common
ground as a starting point!

The last thread with you on this discussion, to the best of my knowledge,

prostrations,
Vikram
