I know, Vaj, and I gave, unlike you urls, so that everyone can look it
up himself.

Who is a 'hard-core' Advaitin there, and who is not, is a different

Sorry Vaj you just got hung up on my first link which was just meant
to be the introduction, your introduction as well. My real point was
how you characterized the scene and people here, obviously without
making any direct reference, onesided as it is. I wanted to give
people here a chance to see how they or their views are characterized
elsewhere, and so also have a chance of responding. (I think
Guruphiliac group isn't as free as here, you have to be sort of
invited or be a little bit anti Guru, that is they are selective about
whom they take. Anybody though can respond on their blog.) I find it
very peculiar especially as you once tried to turn people at AMT on to
come here, with the argument, that this is the place where evolution
is going on, because of so many highly evolved and enlightened
posters. Of course you could have changed your mind
