Sujanks Ji, thanks for the response. Do you know what made me to post on this thread? This one: The concept of advaita vedanata (non-dualism) came much later when indian subcontinent was attaked by the muslims and threatened the end of hindu rulers there aound the end of 1st millenium (9th century, i think). You have revealed a fact which came out of the research. Yes, he was Shankaracharya who first advocated for Adwait. There had been a discussion on this some time ago, if you have time please read my first posting on this thread. PleaseClick Here Those few words of yours were very reality and very impressive. Perhaps you don't know these words of yours are shading light on what you have been saying frequently ie one and only one Brahma. I can not compare Adwait with monotheism of Judaic tradition (Jewis, Christanity and Islam), they are completely different. However, the concept of Adwait was introduced in last millinium. And the person who introduced it was Shankaracharya. This has been found through research. Isn't this a nice thing that we are not blindly believeing this? Isn't this a nice thing that we know someting for sure? Isn't this a nice thing to know that the concept of Adwait was not given by some suprime power (Brahma) at the beginning of the Kalpa? Isn't this nice thing to know that Adwait is not a Vedic concept? Now there is much more reality to be uncoverd in this field. If something is true, it should be true for sure. We are blindly believeing a lot many things. We should believe them for sure as we beleve for sure about Adwait. We should move from belief to knowlege. I will write more on 330 million gods later. I think you misunderstood me regarding the exmaple of measuring the diameter of the sun :). Forgive me if you felt offensive, I didn't mean it though. That was just a suggestion. BTW you already have half answered the question in your second posting. You are pretty close to the answer I guess.
