Please advise how the group should react to the results of the vote.

The people have given the verdict. Now its the question of tuning the manifesto. ;-)

Namaskar Seshadri!

 

You asked: *** Please advise how the group should react to the results

of the vote. The people have given the verdict. Now its the question

of tuning the manifesto. ;-)***

 

All right, here's a first draft of the "Manifesto" (and I've

considered Uday's late entry, re: links to related commercial sites

are okay).

 

* All posts relating (preferably directly; at least tangientally) to

the spiritual aspects of Shakti Sadhana are, of course, totally

welcome. We encourage all members to contribute as much as they please

in this regard, although original material is always preferred over

"cut-and-paste" posts from elsewhere on the Web.

 

* Links to or recommendations of commercial sites which sell or

promote products related to Shakti Sadhana and Hinduism are

acceptable. However, direct offers and sales pitches are not. For

example, websites that offer devotional recordings, books on Devi and

Shaktism, pooja services and supplies, etc, are all appropriate. But

please try to tell members in your post why you felt they'd be

interested.

 

* Political subjects are okay, although they are not especially

favored by members (who, if they want political rants, can easily find

them outside the context of a spiritual forum). The recent debates on

animal sacrifices to Kali, and reports on the socio-political

situation of women (who are considered manifestations of Shakti) in

Hinduism are good examples of appropriate political discussions for

this forum.

 

* All insulting or inflammatory posts will be deleted, even if no

member is specifically named or attacked. This does *not* mean that we

intend to censor unpopular or strongly stated opinions. It is more a

matter of tone -- posts which have rabble-rousing or trouble-making

as their main purpose are never welcome -- and will be dealt with on a

case-by-case basis at the discretion of the moderators.

 

* Our overall philosophy is inclusion. We do not wish to delete

*any* posts, or to ban *anyone* from the Group, and will avoid such

extreme measures wherever possible. However, we will not hesitate to

do so when attempts are made to disturb and subvert the purpose for

which our members have gathered here -- that is, Shakti Sadhana.

 

Please feel free to suggest additions or changes to this

proposed policy. After a week or so, we'll put the final version into

the database for the future reference of all members.
