Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Thank you dear Dora. Miles wrote a wonderful article and it is available to everyone. In the next volume, Gabriele has written about her visit to Arunachala. I think Suri was going to write something, I don't know. Articles on Sri Ramana, about Sri Ramana, how the sage or his teachings have come into your life are always welcome. We are close to finishing off the next volume but will consider articles on Sri Ramana.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Om Namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaaya... Indeed, Harsha. Sri Miles’s article invariably yields, like the wish-fulfilling tree, more fruit every time it is read. To work through it slowly is a great —and deep— experience. It was through this article that a new vibrancy was breathed into the word “living” for me. anbudan John Siva—Siva / - "Harsha" <harsha (AT) cox (DOT) net> <>; "ramana" <ramanamaharshi> Sunday, April 03, 2005 12:57 AM [RamanaMaharshi] Re: 'Where could I go?
