Errors in "vedAntAchArya" Chakkilam Venkatesh's analyses

[विश्वासो वासुकिजः (Vishvas Vasuki)]

Someone passed on a video by a person called shrI chakkilam venkatesh, with a huge YT following, criticizing rAmAnuja's interpretation of BG 2.17. Made a video response (original linked in the description) -

(Errors in venkaTesh Chakkilam's dismissal of rAmAnuja on bhagavad-gItA 2.17)

He swiftly deleted a comment with a link to the response video 😀 ( https://x.com/dyugangaa/status/1984650355498762259 )

Some other interesting facts about the gentleman  and his backers-

- Quite dishonestly, he invites online video debate, but blocks and runs when it's taken up - https://x.com/anaghastrah/status/1983956954922754544
- He is listed as an instructor ( https://x.com/rockhearted_/status/1976721034490581087?t=h-0B1wQjLWnvnweM8ykulQ&s=19 ) in a shringeri maTha org https://ahambrahmaasmi.org/about-us/ , where shrI subrahmanian (who also bungled, blocked and ran - https://x.com/dyugangaa/status/1977741301865988308 ) is a Vice-chairman.

Looks like he has taken a vow to make 100 videos showcasing his ignorance/ incompetence, and even comically fabricates (non-existent) brahma-sUtras - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30R6KhUKZSA&list=PL63uIhJxWbgiP8kds9zRvepT_Wtx-soVA 

He spreads some very weird conspiracy theories as well - https://x.com/dyugangaa/status/1985522047418843287 .

https://youtu.be/svZ0M70VufM - chakkilam venkaTesh - many lies about vaikhAnasa-s (also pAncharAtra, vishiShTAdvaita, rAmAnuja)

Interestingly, it appears that even shrI vidhushekhara bhAratI of shRngeri pITha spreads canards about some "dhanAkarShaNa-yantra" and shankarachArya statue at a certain specific location in tirupati temple - https://youtube.com/shorts/D740o7CHoGs?si=PCBJQhYoOYwc1UrH 

(I confirmed with those with intimate access to the said areas that this is false.)

Just noticed that the pradhAna archaka shrI rAmakRShNa dIxita himself has quoted and dismissed the canard spread by shrI vidhushekhara bhAratI in a TTD published book -

> आदिशङ्कराचार्युलु रचिञ्चिन तिरुमलेशुनि स्तोत्रं एदी
लेकपोवडं, शङ्करुलवारु, धनाकर्षण, जनाकर्षण यन्त्रालनु
तिरुमललो प्रतिष्ठिञ्चिनट्लु प्रचारंलो उन्न विषयं पूर्तिगा अवास्तवं।
