[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Dr. Hegde: Key differences: SSS & PSA -- a fresh voice

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Michael Ji,

Since you posted such a detailed post, although authored by Dr Hegde, I
felt I may get a satisfactory authoritative response for my query. You may
recollect our recent brief discussion concerning the choice of  definition
of adhyAsa by Sri SSS. Then also there was no satisfactory authoritative
answer to my basic question. This time round, I was hoping  you may refer
the question to the author of the article posted by you and get an answer
from her at least since apparently she has undertaken a detailed study of
his works. Anyway Hope to get the answers sometime in the near future.

Regards
