Explain me the Difference, Please!
by TheOneAndOnly on Jul 26, 2008 11:08 PM   Permalink | Hide replies


Can Some one Pls Explain Me, the Difference between SuddhaADVAITA and ADVAITA ???

MK Gandhi was a SuddhaAdvaiti.

While Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Jiddu, etc and Politicians like BG TILAK, SC Bose Were Advaitis.

Does the Interpretation of Ahimsa Change with Above Philosophies ?? How ???

Answer Pls!!!

(This is a Homework for all Hindutvawadis.)

Abey Gadhe!

Why are you confusing yourself with Advaita with Ahimsa?

In Sanskrit Dwi means two. Accordingly, as per one school of thought i.e. Dwaita, God and Man are different; they are not one! They are Two i.e Dwaita.

When Shankaracharya came on the scene, he proclaimed that there is no Two personas; God is not different from Man. God is embedded in every man. There is no Dwi. There is only one i.e. Man himself! And within every man there is God! And it is everyones duty to search for God not outside but within himself or herself.

There are no Suddha Advaita or simple Advaita! There are only Dwaita, Advaita, and VisishtaAdvaita! I will tell you at some other time what VisishtaAdvaita means! Ramanajujacharya is the proponent of VishithaAdvaita.

Dont Mix Gandhis, Aurobindos and JKs with these.

Now Ahimsa is totally different and has no connection with Dwaita, Advaita, or VishitaAdvaita!

Looks like you are in a drunken stupor!

As the Name Kabeer Suggests, You are Half Knowledge Fellow.

VishistaAdvaita is by RamanujaCharya found around 900 years.

Dvaita, founded by Madhvacharya, is of Recent Origin around 800 years Old.

SuddhaAdvaita is much more younger than Dvaita. It was proposed by Vallabhacharya around 500 yrs Ago.

While Advaita is the Oldest, Which was just a one word Explanation of What is in the Vedas, done around 2500 years Ago.

First Know these Facts.
Then Understand that Ahimsa Interpreted by different Schools Give different Meaning.

And Become the Gadha, Yourself!
