HS Members/Satsangh Environment

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I will be off the list for about 3-4 weeks

 

We have about 20 people in the background who help to guide the direction of

the Satsang. Some of them are well known to us and post frequently here.

These long term members/moderators of the sangha with a commitment to

spiritual fellowship and the spirit of goodwill and amity are widely

respected. They are free to identify themselves should they choose to when

making their points about on the list behavior. So everything is in good

hands.

 

Please keep in mind that this is a spiritual satsangha (fellowship) and the

posts here need to respect the Ahimsa (non-violence) spirit of the list.

Mutual respect in discourse as well as a certain amount of spiritual

maturity is expected in what is said here. This is a gentle and light

hearted sangha and we have members from many different traditions,

backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities. Please refrain from broad

generalizations about groups and use care in the way others are addressed.

 

Insulting any nationality, religion, country, tradition, culture, background

is not acceptable here.

 

Also, strange and odd behavior not meeting accepted social norms on a

consistent basis is unwelcome. If your form of expression cannot respect the

friendly spirit of the sangha, please find other forums which are more

appropriate and better suited to your needs.

 

This is an open sangha and we would like to keep it that way. However,

posters unable to understand the spirit of the list and meet the minimum

standards of civil discourse and normal behavior are encouraged to set up

their own forums and invite like minded people to join them.

 

Irresponsible posters who exploit the privilege of their presence here are

subject to moderation and/or being banned.

 

Love to all

Harsha

 

Given below is the list description. Please read carefully.

 

This spiritual discussion group is an open Satsang and is blessed by Sri

Ramana Maharshi, the great Jnani Sage of Arunachala. a is in

the best tradition of a joyous spiritual fellowship for facilitating the

Recognition of the Eternal Reality that is One's Own Self. "I Am That!" This

is the uncompromising, simple, and yet Radical Truth proclaimed in a variety

of ways by the ancient and modern Sages of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and

Taoism. In Advaita Vedanta, the highest teaching emphasizes the complete

identity of the Individual Soul with the Supreme Soul. In Tibetan Buddhism,

Dzogchen is considered the supreme teaching and represents the nondual focus

on one's innate wakefulness. How beautiful the variety of expressions in so

many different traditions! We embrace this variety with great joy and in

fellowship in a.

 

No religion or teacher or tradition has a monopoly on the Essential Truth of

Reality which is Our Own Nature. In this context, a focuses on

the aspirations and experiences of individuals on the spiritual path.

Everyone interested in any of the Shiva and Shakti traditions, and the

related yogic and tantric paths as well as those practicing primarily the

cognitive methods of the pure nondual teachings of great Jnanis such as

Ramana Maharshi are welcome to join. The discussions are typically expected

to focus on Self-Realization, Kundalini Shakti and Its Manifestations,

God-Realization, the Goddess, Enlightenment, and various types of Samadhis

(Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa). Discussion of various teachers and teachings can

also be enriching as long as there is mutual respect and a feeling of amity

in the conversation. Humor and poetry and other artistic expressions of the

spiritual life are encouraged and supported. May God Bless everyone with

Peace, Joy, and Understanding. May we all nourish and heal each other in the

spirit of Compassion, Wisdom and Love. OM Shanty, Shanty, Shanty. Peace to

all living beings
