[bhakti-list ADMIN] This Coming Week

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

I will be out of town and away from my email from

April 15-23. The Bhakti List will be on autopilot

on this time. Please take care of our little group

and respect its guidelines in the meantime. This

having been said, I have attached the guidelines

as a reminder.

 

Wishing you all a happy Yugadi and Varsha Pirappu,

adiyen

Mani ramanuja dasan

Welcome to the Bhakti List, an email forum for discussion of

the religion and philosophy of the Sri Vaishnava tradition.

 

BRIEF GUIDELINES

 

Topics:

Any question or comment that is related to Sri Vaishnavism in all

its aspects is fair game. These topics include but are not

limited to: details of Vedantic philosophy, daily worship,

contemplative meditation, the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Alvars, Divya

Prabandham, acharyas, temples, ethics, and rituals.

 

Discussions should be carried out in the context of the

Sri Vaishnava tradition, and not under the assumptions of other

Vedantic or Vaishnava traditions, except as they relate or compare

to Sri Vaishnava formulations.

 

No encoded emails, please:

Please do not post binary files, images, encoded files,

Postscript, etc. These are unreadable by many people and clog up

our mailboxes.

 

Please be courteous:

Please remain courteous, and please take a moment before you send

your message to think of whether you are going to unnecessarily

offend anyone, or if your ego is speaking rather than

yourself. Strong opinions are very welcome; rude and offensive

ones are not.

 

No Personal Agendas, Please:

Please do not use the Bhakti List to engage in independent

expositions of theology or doctrine, divorced from a study of

the root texts and commentaries of the Sri Vaishnava tradition.
