Starting the dialog about Nirvana Dashakam

My father-in-law, Sri Garimella Viswanatha Sastry garu, recently wrote a booklet about Adi Shankara's "Nirvana Dashakam".  I have read his writing with considerable interest and have started to think about the concepts described with deep reflection.  My goal of this blog is to encourage dialogue between some of us family members.  Other viewers are welcome to read these postings however they will not have the complete context of this string of discussions.
