[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Paper on Kenopanishad

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear Vidyasankarji,

I just replied to the incoming mail. Bhaskara's name came up earlier and when I added that Bhaskara was Nimbarka,  then one thing led to another from both sides and now we realize that this should stop.  

Regards,
Sunil KB

 Dear Bhattacharya
 ji,
 what are Nimbarka and
 Keshava Kashmiri doing in this thread on the advaita list?
 Please keep your different private email and public
 discussion threads distinct.
 Thank
 you,Vidyasankar

 Dear
 Vidyasankarji,
 
 
 
 I admire your very critical look at things.  From you mail
 it is clear that you are not convinced in Keshav kshmiri
 Bhattacharya being the 33rd Nimbarkacharya. I would have
 been happy if  you would have told us as to what you think
 about the date of Suka, the guru of Gaudapadacharya. I am
 reminding you lest you have overlooked that

  Dear
 
  Vidyashankarji,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Like the Avogadro's Hypothesis in science, the
 
  hypothesis that Adi Shankara wrote sixteen (16) bhashyas
 may
 
  stand tall, particularly because  the Brihat Shankara
 
  Vijaya as well as the work of Shri Vidyaranya combined
 with
 
  commentary on it says so, until someone gives another
 proven
 
  figure to contest that.
 
 
 
  Till I see credible reports of
 
  actual manuscripts of this so called
 bRhacchankaravijaya
 
  having been found, I'll be extremely skeptical,
 even
 
  dismissive, of arbitrary claims conveniently attributed
 to
 
  that text. Whatever flights of fancy you choose to
 believe
 
  is your problem sir. Please do not expect everyone else
 to
 
  subscribe to the same fancy!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Kindly permit me to say that I have no reason to
 believe
 
  that  there have been people  all around, who have
 been
 
  conspiring against the Sringeri
 
  math.
 
  This statement of yours is so
 
  laughable as to not deserve any response, so I'm
 not
 
  going to give you one. I just wonder how some generic
 doubt
 
  about authorship of one or the other text becomes an
 issue
 
  about the Sringeri lineage in your mind! There is no
 
  connection at all that anybody else can see, but
 please,
 
  have at it. I'm done, trying to respond sensibly to
 your
 
  latest round of desperate attempts in this
 
  misdirection.
 
  Best
 
  regards,Vidyasankar
