The Scientific Theory of the Soul

Actually it was more intoxication than meditation; meditation was a euphemism that somehow connected our highs with our readings. Related Articles (Article by Hayagriva dasa)

Ramanujacarya, The Great Vaisnava Acarya
Sometimes we refer to the Vedanti philosophers as Vidantis, those who have no teeth (vi means without, and danti means possessing teeth). The statements of the Sankara philosophy, which are the teeth of the Mayavadi philosopher, are always broken by the strong arguments of Vaisnava philosophers such as the great acaryas, especially Ramanujacarya. Sripada Ramanujacarya and Madhvacarya break the teeth of the Mayavadi philosophers, who can therefore be called Vidantis, toothless. Related Articles (Article by Daily Devotions--Dravinaksa dasa)
