Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Dear Max: Yes, msbauju's links should give you a good orientation. There's not really any coherent online summary of intra-Shakta disagreements about efforts such as those Amrita is undertaking -- first perhaps because of Shakta's traditional secrecy; you won't find many public airings of dirty doctrinal laundry, Kaula vs. Samaya, and so on. In truth, groups like this are as good a place as any to watch it play out. But you need to read between the lines; these disagreements are the underlying Cold War that causes many of the apparently nonsensical "proxy battle" threads that occur here. I know of one American scholar who has closely observed some of the religio-socio-political backstories behind Devipuram, but her work is, due to its obvious sensitivity, unpublished; and she has asked me not to publicize or promulgate it here. In the meantime, moderators of this group occasionally receive various facile "attacks" on Amrita, on our publication of certain documents on the homepage, and so on. So really, if you wanna know what's happening, I'm pleased to inform you that you have something of a front row seat. ;-) Please contact me off board if you wish to discuss further. I'd rather not make it an explicit thread here. Thanks ...

What a beautiful temple, looks like a blessed place. I would love to come there someday.
