Q: Should we chant mantras before eating food?

A_runningMindUsually, we pray before having food. Are there any mantras which should be chanted before taking food? If such mantras exist, do they differ according to the meal e.g., breakfast, lunch and supper?

Q: Do any commentators other than Adi Shankaracharya disagree with both Pancharatra and Shaiva Agamas?

Keshav SrinivasanAs I discuss in this question, by far the most popular school of Hindu philosophy is the Vedanta school, which bases its tenets on the doctrines laid out in the Brahma Sutras, a work by the sage Vyasa which summarizes and systematizes the philosophical teachings of the Upanishads.

@KeshavSrinivasan You can roll-back if do not want.
@KeshavSrinivasan Btw, as far as I know Achintya Bhedabheda is founded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu:
Achintya Bheda Abheda
Achintya-Bheda-Abheda (अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद, acintyabhedābheda in IAST) is a school of Vedanta representing the philosophy of inconceivable one-ness and difference. In Sanskrit achintya means 'inconceivable', bheda translates as 'difference', and abheda translates as 'non-difference'. The Gaudiya Vaishnava religious tradition employs the term in relation to the relationship of creation and creator (Krishna, Svayam Bhagavan), between God and his energies It is believed that this philosophy was taught by the movement's theological founder Chaitanya Mahaprabhu(1486 - 1534) and differentiates the Gaudiya...
I found you've mentioned Baladeva as commentator. Who is Baladeva?

@Pandya Thanks! So that tabular format is not able to incorporate links?
@Pandya Yeah, if you consider any Vedantic school, the founder of the school is usually not the same as the Bhashyakara, the one who wrote the commentary on the Brahmasutras from the viewpoint of that school.
@Pandya For instance, Adi Shankaracharya's guru Govindacharya and Govindacharya's guru Gaudapada also believed in Advaita, but Adi Shankaracharya was the first one to write an Advaita commentary on the Brahma Sutras.
@Pandya Similarly, Nathamuni and Yamunacharya already believed in Visistadvaita, but it was only Ramanujacharya who was the Bhashyakara.
@Pandya And in the case of Achintya Bhedabheda, yes Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the one who started it, but the one who wrote the Achintya Bhedabheda commentary on the Brahma Sutras, known as the Govinda Bhashya, was Baladeva Vidyabhushana:
Baladeva Vidyabhushana
Baladeva Vidyabhushana (disappeared 1768) was a prominent Gaudiya Vaishnava acharya (religious teacher). He never mentioned his birthplace or anything about his family background. Historians have estimated that he was born sometime in the 18th century, in Odisha (possibly near Remuna, Balasore ). At a very early age, he finished his studies of grammar, poetry, rhetoric and logic and then went on pilgrimage. During this time he spent some time with the Tattvavadis in South India and thus became conversant with the Vaishnava Theology of Sri Madhva. He became a powerful exponent of this system...
@Pandya The only person I know of who both founded a philosophical school and wrote the commentary on the Brahma Sutras for it was Madhvacharya. Nimbarka and Vallabhacharya may also be examples, but I don't know as much about them.
