There was some discussion of the concept of
avidyA (ignorance) and its place in Advaita philosophy
recently. I think it is important for us to understand
avidyA as seen by the Advaita school.
Ramakrishnan or Vidyasankar, can you give us a brief
overview of what avidyA is, its place in Advaita, and
some of the problems in understanding it?
After that we can understand Visistadvaita's criticism
and/or understanding of it.
