Christina was a Namaste Eric, Where did Mucky-Nanda get it from? His own writings are so superficial...ONS...Tony. ************************************* Namaste Sri Tonyji, I think you have made your point many many times regarding where you stand with respect to certain gurus. We have not made any attempts to censor you because censorship is not what this spiritual fellowship is about. Please keep in mind that there are many in the Sangha who have great respect for the Siddha tradition and who were/are either students or disciples of Yogis in the Shaktipat tradition. These are good, decent, warm, and loving people who are our brothers and sisters. Your constant reference to Swami Muktananda as Mucky-Nanda in a public Satsangha is disrespectful and inappropriate and hurtful. Dear Tonyji, although many here feel that you don't know what you are talking about, I respect your feelings and views and consider them based on a life time of travel and experience, disappointment and perhaps even disillusionment at certain times with some of your teachers. We can all understand that as we have all known hurt and disappointment in one form or another. Tonyji, you are certainly entitled to your views and opinions and we are not questioning your independence and critical thinking regarding gurus. As you are a valued and a long time member of this Sangha, I would ask you to reflect on the language you are using and whether such usage is necessary. You may be hurting the feelings of Sri Ericji and others who are our brothers and sisters here. Above all Sri Tonyji, we are all human beings. To be truly free, we have to give freedom to others to be who they are and to respect them and support them to the extent we can. I hope this makes sense. Sri Ramana used to say that for a Yogi "Ahimsa Param Dharma" - meaning that "Nonviolence is the supreme principle". We all have to reflect from time to time on what that means to us. Just because you don't care for someone's guru does not mean that you refuse to view them as human beings and not love them. In summary Tonyji, please use care in your language here in the Sangha keeping the feelings of other members in mind. is not meant for being a repository for repetitive posts insulting teachers and traditions. You have made your points Sri Tonyji and have even provided links and references for others to check out. We have allowed you full freedom to express your views. Please now be satisfied and at peace. I would ask you to read the list description carefully before posting. Thank you. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never read Tony's posts, one will travel to a dry well just so many times. But I always read yours and come away smiling, unless it includes Tony's. Many will hear a rooster crow but few will mistake it for a lions roar. One may shout in the wind for a thousand years and not produce the power presence and understanding of a single whispered syllable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
