Thanks for the list, and yes I have some familiarity with the run.  Quite a 
range of choices.

As to repudiated Vedanta, Prakashanand has commented of his time as SBS's 
attendant that SBS was, while Shankaracharya, still seeking enlightenment, and 
that the ideal goal is not jivanmukti but, as you say, "inconceivable oneness 
and difference'... and the relation of...Radha and Krishna" and as pointedly, 
eternity in Vrindavan with Krisn, perhaps a sort of Christian sounding goal?

Of more interesting to me when I first came to know of the differences in the 
systems was not the merit of either view, but the fact that such disagreement 
exists "between the wise."  Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than 
that now.
