Having finished Project Mandukya 2025, I am writing this afterword. First let's talk about the Buddhist elephant in the room. There's at least two Gaudapadas in the room as well.
The first one is a G establishing Vedantic credentials by wrapping oneself in the flag of sacred revelation with a little Upanishad they like to call Mandukya.
The second one explains the first one's three-part Vedantic karika, using Buddhist language almost exclusively. Whether either G was an ex-Buddhist convert or an old-time Vedantist
using the Mahayana language of that age's spiritual empire is not a relevant question. Both G's are Vedantic in a revolutionary way. In the high Himalayan caves, G is known to be a great wise fool.
And Shankara is Saint Paul to that Laughing Jesus. Are there 2 G's or just a younger one and older one? Either way, all individual dharmas are unborn.
