Guest guest Posted June 27, 1998 Report Share Posted June 27, 1998 --- It would be ridiculous of me to recount to you all the story of Gajendra, Vibisheena or Draupadi. The details are so well known that even children in Indian homes learn to retell it with consummate ease by the time they are old enough to cease lisping. But a few elements in the stories are so very relevant to our present discussion on "bandhus", "jantu-sakinchinyam" and the "cosmic orphan" that, with your permission, they will bear repetition here in this post. --- Hare Krishna! Although I can guess from context, can you provide an explicit definition in English of the Sanskrit terms "bandhu,jantu," and "akinchinyam?" That would help he to better follow these discussions. Also, thank you for posting them. I especially found the quote from the Upanishads by Yajnavalkya to be quite enlightening. yours, -- HKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 1998 Report Share Posted June 28, 1998 Dear friends, Sri.Krishna Susurla said about my last post : > Hare Krishna!

I especially found the quote from the Upanishads > by Yajnavalkya to be quite enlightening. > yours, > -- HKS It is obvious Sri.Susurla has not been following the earlier posts of mine on this theme because the "explicit definitions" he has sought of "bandhu", "jantu" and "akinchinyam" have all been given already! Sri.Susurla perhaps would like to go back to the earlier posts of mine starting around May 6th I think. Please note some of my earlier posts may carry the sender' address "R.Balaji@lucasfie@md2". Sri.Susurla may kindly read the previous posts and if he is still not clear about the "explicit definitions" he is most welcome to raise the matter with me again. I will do my best to make it all clearer and to the best of my abilities. I thank Sri.Susurla for his interest. adiyEn, sudarshan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
