Shree Subramanian

I am not writing on behalf of Ravi but I am sure he will not disagree.
Your discussion of Tatvabodha will be very much appreciated since the very
first suutra in Brahmasuutra refers to the adhikaari aspect which involves
the saadhana chatusshhTaya sampatti, and Tatva bodha is classic
intorductory book by Adi Shakara and what better place to discuss than in
the advita lists. Please do so and send a copy to advaitin list too since
there are lot of members who would like to know the definitions of each of
these.

Hari Om!
