Introduction from Muralidhar Rajagopalan

[Guest guest]

Hi Mani,

 

I am Muralidhar Rajagopalan and I would like to be "inducted" into the

prapatti news group. I heard about this news group from Krishna Kalale (also an

active member of the group). He told me that the group members contribute a lot

of informative articles that make reading a pleasure. And of course on the rare

occasion a philosophical debate does ensue. I would like to make a few remarks

(albeit stereotypical) in this connection. I have nothing against debates,

because after all, it was because of ages of honest, impersonal, and fearless

debating undertaken by our rshis that we have with us today such a wealth of

philosophical thought to ponder on. One thing however that might result from a

debate of this nature on the internet group (speaking from past experience with

other groups) is participants taking statements made by others personally and

passionately. And this does not contribute much towards keeping the records of

the group clean. The point that I would like to make is that we honour a set of

read/write/quote protocols, that will make articles address everybody in the

group, instead of A person.

 

If what I have written has already been considered or agreed upon or

even beside the point, then it may be safely ignored.

 

Now an intro of myself. My native town in Bangalore, Karnataka. I come

from an extremely devout, religious Vadagalai Iyengar family. I have tried my

best to keep religion and philosophy a part of my life in India and also here

in the USA. I am sure that becoming part of this group, I will largely benefit

by reading your views on some very interesting philosophical subjects, and share

mine.

 

Murali.
