Bhaskar ji,
1. Avidya is jnana-abhAva as per Swamiji.
2. He has quoted Chitsukhacharya and Anubhuti swarup acharya at one place.
Though I am sure that he did not agree with them at other places.
3. I have not come across such interpretation as of his in any of the
ancient advaita Vedanta tradition.
Regards.
Sudhanshu.
