(I have a feeling that in your series you will end up
saying that Ishvara is also real!)

Chiitta Responds

( It will. Ishwara is real. I see no reason to say it otherwise.)


Well, My dear Advaitins, you might all be wondering how on earth i
came up with the term 'Tantric ADWAITHA'? It is not a fragment of my
imagination. This is not something i conjured up.

it is my pleasure to bring to you the following excerpt from Sri
Ramana's talks .....

" Mahrishi-: There are two schools in Advaita: 1. Drishti srishti
(simultaneous creation) and 2. Srishti drishti (gradual creation).

There is the *Tantric Advaita* which admits three fundamentals jagat,
jiva, Isvara - world, soul, God. These three are also real. But the
Reality does not end with them. It extends beyond. That is the
Tantric Advaita. The Reality is limitless. The three fundamentals do
not exist apart from the Absolute Reality. All agree that Reality is
all-pervading; that Isvara pervades jiva; therefore the jiva has
eternal being. His knowledge is not limited. Limited knowledge is
only imagined by him. In truth, his is infinite knowledge. Its limit
is Silence. This truth was revealed by Dakshinamurti. For those who
still perceive these three fundamentals they are said to be
realities. They are concomitant with the ego.

True, the *images of gods* are described in great detail. Such
description points only to the final Reality. Otherwise why is the
special significance of each detail also given? Think. The image is
only a symbol. Only that which lies beyond name and form is Reality.
Saiva Siddhanta and Vedanta have the common aim of the same Truth.
*Otherwise how could Sri Sankaracharya, the greatest exponent of
Advaita, sing praises of gods?* Obviously he did so knowingly.
