[Advaita-l] Jivanmukti - Jnana plus Sannyasa pt 4

[Bhaskar YR]

My aim (as the title of my series indicates) is to show that the 
traditional position is this - without sannyasa, even if one acquires 
samyag Jnana, it does not confer the fruit of jivanMukti.

Quite funny observation.  So according to you Janaka, who was a 
chakravorthy  was not a jeevan mukta, avatAra purusha-s like rAma, krishna 
were not jeevan mukta-s, vidhura & dharmavyAdha-s, who  were shUdra-s, not 
jeevan mukta-s, prahlAda, dhruva who were kshatriya-s  were not jeevan 
mukta-s, raikva, vAchaknavi, saMvarta those who quote shankara in sUtra 
bhAshya as atyAshrami-s were not jeevan mukta-s, uddAlaka who taught 
brahma vidya to his son svetaketu was not jeeva mukta, ...so, ultimately, 
you are telling jeevan mukta-s are those who are saNyAsi-s not others!! 
could you explain me in one or two sentences what exactly do you mean by 
the ter 'saNySa' here, if at all it is not an external attires & 
characteristics ?? 

I shall come back to your long reply to my mail  on other list on the same 
subject in due course....

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
