Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Welcome to all the new members of the Sangha and thanks to the old ones. Zenbob, I was remembering the time you joined back in 1999 when the list was new and we had around 70-80 people. Some fine messages you wrote on Gurus, DHEA, and nice poems as well. We have had some great long time members and this is our good karma and now Sri John Logan is part of the Sangha as well. There are over 550 members now. The wonderful common sense answers on Gurus by John and Zenbob and others are worth reading carefully. In this Sangha, we have always encouraged critical thinking and independent thought. As the list message states, "No religion or teacher has a monopoly on the truth......". The True Guru is Always the Self as Tonyji has pointed out many times from personal experience. Dear TG, how have you been? Glad you shared. Thanks for the wonderful pictures Al. Perhaps you should consider a website, where you can permanently store them. Rangaji has suggested that pictures will eventually use up all the space allows. Fortunately we have a couple of hundred megabytes left. This is a community of sharing and caring and a spiritual Sangha. Thank you all for your cyber presence.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Harsha Friday, July 18, 2003 4:13 PM Thanks Everyone and Welcome to the new members Thanks for the wonderful pictures Al. Perhaps you should consider a website, where you can permanently store them. Rangaji has suggested that pictures will eventually use up all the space allows. Fortunately we have a couple of hundred megabytes left. Lady Joyce checking in... As one who sometimes posts photos, I must say that I like to post photos! Um, I find it spiritually uplifting to do so. I also like to open my email and see Al's stunners looking back at me. It is as uplifting as any words can ever be. Hmmmm...on the subject of words and Gurus, can you make a mountain your Guru? Or a bird? Or a flower? Or... Lady Joyce says "Yes, yes, yes!" Only the perfect ones, I guess. (Hi, Tonyji:-) I wonder how many kbs 1000 words occupy? Anyway, Rangaji also suggested that we can go back periodically to delete photos. In fact, I think he was offering to do the job, weren't you, Rangaji? I save all of mine anyway, so go ahead and delete away... I now backup onto discs. Having said all of the above, stand by for my next post :-) Oh, please, Harshaji, don't yell at me!!! Beautiful poem, by the way.... :-) Although it is silence that I keep in this embrace there is no choice Silence itself has become the speech Love to allHarsha In Loving Silence, Joyce /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Your use of is subject to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Katherine Ross and Ali McGraw too. I cried watching those movies. Dustin Hoffman's difficulties (in The Graduate) with his in-laws have haunted many people. They have made so many sequels of so many movies, why not the Graduate? OK, all kidding aside, the next years academy of management meeting is in Hawaii in August 2004 and I am planning to go. Maybe we should have a Sangha retreat there. Hawaii is a beautiful place and Shawn and you and your wife can show the group around. Bobby can come and bring his paintings and you can appreciate each others artwork. Love to all, Harsha "Love itself is the actual form of God."

Let me know when you will be coming and so forth. Let me know if I can help with anything. I think there are many places for retreats. Sarah and I have much on our plates theses days , but there is always help from the real doer, so i am not worried. God is Gracious! And it would be great to paint and talk story with Bobby ! )))))))Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Thanks Sri Shawn! You don't have to look for a place for retreat. We will all just stay with you! :-) :-). Just kidding Shawn. Honestly. Don't want to scare you. We will have a proper retreat just like we did here at the Zen Providence Center. Next year maybe good. One year from now. August 2004 - The Great Hawaii Retreat. Everyone bring your digital cameras and bathing suits. By the way, Volume III of the HS mag is almost ready and thanks to our writers, painters, artists, and editors, it is looking very good!
