a whole lot of dispute and recrimination has taken place over the last
six-seven centuries about these issues.

the problem is, the dvaitins who live today are not the ones who wrote
texts like the manimanjari. as such, there is not much they can do.
don't you think what you are suggesting, about removing objectionable
verses from their texts amounts to censorship? moreover, should we really
be comparing such issues in the dvaita-advaita disputes to hindu-muslim
disputes?

see above :-). on a more serious note, i think shrisha rao, the
moderator of the dvaita list is still a member of this list, so he may be
reading this. as the dvaita list and its functioning are not the concern of
this list, i hope you can take it up with him separately and get your
concerns addressed.

i don't see holding one's head high and refusing to resort to similar
tactics of insulting and mud-throwing as crawling and begging. look at
the larger picture - advaita vedanta is spread all over india while
dvaita is identified with a much smaller community of people in south
india. although dvaita has influenced a few other vaishnava groups, such as
the gaudiyas, it is not present as dvaita in these other sects. over
the last century or so, advaita and sankaracharya are also known,
respected and admired all over the world, not because smartas have emigrated
to other parts of the world, but because independent students of indian
philosophy are able to the truth and worth of advaita and the greatness
of sankaracharya. i don't think this is a sign of people not
respecting us, is it?
best regards,
vidyasankar
