Different Upanishads-based strands of Hinduism cannot agree on basic principles
Upanishads + Buddhism = Advaita Vedanta

It is important to note that guenonfag's favorite Upanishads scholar, Patrick Olivelle, has decisively stated that advaita vedanta is a "late" theology and not the inherent theology of the Upanishads.

>repeating my discredited position that nobody agrees with but me (not even CD sharma) makes it right

Confirmation by who? Some neovedantist on the internet who learned about hinduism from rene guenon? It's the position of academics.

>You can find scholars who support any side to a debate.
Yeah, on one hand you can find the 99% of mainstream scholars including Indian ones and even including advaitins. On the other hand there's you and some pajeets on Quora. Anyone can look at that picture and look up the names to see they are all the mainstream scholars on Advaita.

Pic related, another leading scholar whose Upanishad translations you recommend all the time, saying the same thing. Because everyone says it, except indian grandmas online who believe Shankara lived 5000 bc.

But we have to feed the guenonfag once daily or he will feel neglected..

Thanks for demonstrating how easy it is to prove it's you, as always.

Hey I never notice you talk about Olivelle anymore either Guenonfag. What happened? He used to be your boy, you used to say he was the one trustworthy scholar on the Upanishads, but he says Advaita is late and not the one true Vedanta of the Upanishads either. How come all your favorite guys like Robinson and Olivelle let you down? Is it because you never actually read them and don't know their views (about how Advaita is crypto-buddhism)?

where do i start with real vedanta to avoid crypto-buddhist advaita? brahma sutras? bhaskara?

>>16894868
i am an expert on the "late theology" advaita vedanta, as patrick olivelle calls it, and sorry sweetie but it is crypto-buddhism

>>16855786
patrick olivelle is a good place to start, his authority on the upanishads is even approved of by our resident /lit/ upanishads expert guenonfriend

Reminder that guenonfag's favorite scholar patrick olivelle thinks that advaita is not the philosophy of the upanishads lmao

Reminder olivelle is guenonfag's favorite authority on the Upanishads other than the buddhist Shankara, and Olivelle plainly says the Upanishads are not advaita

>>16816805
the upanishads ripped off the buddhists and jains

>>16783314
this, reading shankara is like reading a late commentary to religious texts instead of the originals

>>16754862
>>16754847
sorry, patrick olivelle disagrees

>>16732133
Where did you go? I want to talk about Olivelle. He's a great authority on the Upanishads.
