[Advaita-l] Shanmatha Sthapanam by Adhisankaracharya

[Sangeerth P]

Thank you for your kind reply sir. I have posted my question only as a
seeker.* I am sorry if it has hurt you personally. *As I told you,* I am
very new to Shankaracharya *and I am eager to know about his philosophy. I
am from the Ramanuja tradition. My question is when we say that the same
Brahman has manifested in different forms and it has created six matas. We
don't see this in Vaishnava sect. For example, Vishnu taking avatara of
Varaha or Narasimha or Matsya has not created a separate sect or Varaha or
a separate sect of Narasimha. All joins down to a single sect called
Vaishnava. Then how can we use this logic at all, to tell that the same
Brahman manifested as 6 gods.
