Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Ravi, My Bad! I apologise for quoting a website without completely reading all articles therein. I came across an article named Shakta Tantra in there, and saw that the article was from a person who belongs to a proper lineage(as stated), and did not find it untraditional. Little did I realise that the remaining articles do not suit my tastes nor confirm to traditional understanding. Sorry about this. rgds , "M. S.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Ravi: I apologize for not having responded earlier to your post regarding an article on the "Shakti Sadhana" website that quotes material from "Ambaa~l"; it was only recently brought to my attention. Specifically, you noted: *** there is a page on maatangi, and the author (devi bhakta) quotes quite extensively and explicitly from and yet does not include it in the list of references at the end of the page, where he/she lists few references ... Leaving out a vital information after making references to specific names ... shows nothing but lack of integrity. *** I assure you, it's more a lack of proofreading; but your point is well taken. It was certainly not my intention to present Ambaa~l's excellent material as my own work (as you fairly note, the quotations at issue are attributed to Ambaa~l and its specific members in the body of the article). However, you are quite right: Ambaa~l was inadvertently left out of the references at the end. I have now set that right, and the article is both fully credited and linked back to this Group. You see, like many of the articles on our homepage, that "article" is actually just a patchwork of posts made several years ago. I believe that the Ambaa~l end credit was probably lost in the consolidation process. However, since I'm the one who originally posted and later compiled them, I take full responsibility for the omission, and apologize for the same. With all best wishes Aum Maatangyai Namahe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
