Guest guest Posted November 24, 1999 Report Share Posted November 24, 1999 dear kathirasan,gasusima, firstly ,let me state that i have the utmost respect for all advaitins regardless of age and would not hesitate in stating this respect as 'ji','sir' to anyone.i hope none takes offence at my foll. remarks: we are all fellow travellers ,fellow advaitins...really speaking we all have mutual respect for each other...so,in that sense we are all equal and we can all either formally address each other as x-ji or alternatively we can have an informal approach simply saying dear x. i feel comfortable with both forms,but since there was a mail from shri.pbv rajan stating that shri. madhava is only 31,i thought maybe madhavaji has taken offence at my addressing him as 'ji'(because i know many who feel offended if addressed as being elderly if they are not so)hence i took back the 'ji'.anyway,it was all a jestful interaction.indeed,sankara,jnanesvar,sw.vivekananda.....many others attained spiritual elderness despite being young in age...age has nothing to do with spiritual accomplishments,we all know that. i hope i have clarified my position sufficiently enough. om Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 1999 Report Share Posted November 25, 1999 Happy Thanksgiving Holidays, I believe that your viewpoint should be quite agreeable to almost everyone in the list. None of us expect 'ji' or 'sir' and we should divert our focus on the discussion topics and show our respect through the choice of non-offensive language. Words can never fully describe true love and respect! regards, Ram Chandran Devendra Vyas wrote: > "Devendra Vyas" <dev_vyas74 > > dear kathirasan,gasusima, > firstly ,let me state that i have the utmost > respect for all advaitins regardless of age and would not hesitate in > stating this respect as 'ji','sir' to anyone.i hope none takes offence at my > foll. remarks: > we are all fellow travellers ,fellow advaitins...really speaking we all have > mutual respect for each other...so,in that sense we are all equal and we can > all either formally address each other as x-ji or alternatively we can have > an informal approach simply saying dear x.
