Kaushal,
That is a good idea.
I think we should also try to get traditional terminology and explanations combined with contemporary explanations wherever possible. Many people, especially with training in modern sciences or philosophy, feel stumped due to traditional way vedanta is often discussed.
Vedanta of course is pretty vast. From its Upanishadic roots to shuddha advaita, vishista-advaita and dvaita there is a whole range of topics that may be covered. May be we should first try to understand some basic Upanishadic thoughts and shuddha-advaita of Shankara first. Then we can branch off into other things later.
I think Sunder might be the right person to moderate that discussion. I can also help wherever needed.
Ashok.
