Gita Satsang: Guidelines from Madhavaji

[Guest guest]

Greetings Advaitins:

 

Thanks for your active participation during the past ten days on Pre-Satsang

Satsang! We are now ready to start the Gita Satsang from tomorrow. Sri

Madhavaji, the coordinator of the Gita Satsang has prepared and posted the

Guidelines few weeks before. Now it is time to repeat those Guidelines once

again for the benefit of so many new members in recent times (currently list

has 211 members.) Please save these guidelines and follow them closely to get

the maximum benefit from the Satsang. If you have any suggestions to improve

the Guidelines, please send your comments and suggestions to Madhavaji

directly.

 

Thanks for Listening,

 

Ram Chandran

Dear All:

 

As you all are aware, we are going to start Bhagawad Gita satsang on this list

from tomorrow - 1st January 2000. Please find giving below the guidelines for

list members in order to participate in the discussions.

 

* A team of members brings the Bhagawad Gita text with verses to you. They are

Lilia, Kathi, Devendra, Shankar (botswana) and several others. It is because

of these people that we are going to read various commentaries of great

saints. I would like to thank them on behalf of the list.

 

GUIDELINES:

 

1. Commentaries of Jagadguru Adishankara, Swamy Chinmayananda will

continuously be posted. We are also going to post commentaries by Swamy

Ranganadhanandaji, Swamy Dayanandaji and others, however they are subjected to

the availability of volunteers.

 

2. Every Monday (starting day of the week) we will post the Gita text along

with commentaries. You can identify the Gita posting from the subject line:

Bhagawad Gita - Ch x (xx - xx)

 

3. Members are requested to read the text at leisure. They are requested to

contemplate on it for a day or two... Then we expect questions/comments from

members on every Wednesday. This two days time gap will give you time to

reflect on the text.

 

4. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday --- we will have discussions and

answers to the questions. During these days you may also send excerpts from

commentaries of Bhagawad Gita that inspired you, or the comment that you

thought very important, or something that you would like to share with other

satsang members regarding Bhagawad Gita.

 

5. Every Sunday we will close the discussions with a review of the week's

progression. Please make a note that we limit discussions to that particular

week only, in order to avoid cluttering. And every Monday --- we start with

new verses.

 

MODERATION:

 

* At present all the mails that are sent to the list directly go to the list.

How ever, list moderators, upon their discretion, may restrict the permission

to posting on individual member basis, in case they think such an act is

necessary.

 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions/comments

at madhava.

 

Have a Great Millennium!

 

Thank you,

Madhava
