That's it! Now I've got it. SBS was the head of the danda sannyasins and a 
practitioner of Samaya Shri Vidya. MMY, being a kshatriya, has more latitude - 
he can get away with practicing the Kaula Shri Vidya - those women are his 
little dainties. 
   
  Mmmm - little dainties. Makes me feel like Homer Simpson.
   
  As far as these pundits go, I couldn't find one to discuss any intriguing 
points, so I tried to bait (rather than debate) one into a discussion. Found 
out he had little interest in it ... sniff.
  TurqBnimble, of course, was the emergency responder who attempted to defend 
him from the terrorist attack - ishvara, buddha, better, best ... woof woof arf 
arf is a mantra test.
   
  By the way, imo, Madhyamaka is highly overrated. The tibetans have turned it 
into a philosophical requirement, much like Aquinas for the Roman Catholics.
  Unfortunately, it can't actually be the middle of anything because it ends in 
negation.
  Shankara was quite accurate - from nothing you only get nothing.

  empty mess is the only ness

This is outrageous! You're telling me that Shankara 
wrote a vivarana on Vyasa's commentary on Patanjali's 
Yoga Sutras? And that the pundits on Usenet and FFL 
withheld this information from me for nearly 10 years. 
For what purpose, I wonder? This seems tyo be a pattern 
with some TMer informants - withholding information. 

First, they wouldn't tell me the meaning of the bija 
mantras, then they refused to tell me where all the 
money was going, then they tried to hide the fact that 
Marshy was having relations with his female students. 

Now I find out that Shankara wrote about the Yoga 
Sutras and not a single respondent has a thing to 
say about it. Some pundits they turned out to be. 
This is the final straw with these punditsters. 

I can only conclude that they are devious, lying 
soundrels, and intellectually dishonest. They've 
confused Middle Way Buddhism with Adwaita Vedanta! 

There is no Being in God - the Transcendental Person 
is an illusion, Brahman is a "nothing". And the
Marshy is a left-handed, tantric basket weaver. 

Go figure.
