[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Objection against bhAvarUpa-ajnAna on account of vishishTa-vaishishTya-avagAhi-jnAna in the form of "अहम् अज्ञः"

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Hari Om,

the concept of vishishTa-vaishishTya-avagAhi-jnAna is critical in
understanding the sAkshi-bhAsyatva of bhAvarUpa-ajnAna. A phenomenal
discussion is present in ajnAna-pratyaksha-vichAra of Advaita Siddhi.
LaghuchandrikA has introduced additional dimensions therein.* Prima facie*,
they appear to be quite intimidating.

I have made an effort to understand this section as explained by
BAlabOdhinI and by Swami Vishuddhananda Giri ji, in his book published by
DakshinAmUrty MaTha. I have written my understanding in the form of a PDF.

I request learned members to kindly go through it and point out infirmities
in my understanding, if any. The PDF can be downloaded from
