Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 namaste. It is a great pleasure to welcome three vedic scholars to our List shri Siddhrtha Krishna, shri Kartik Vashishta and shri Vishal Agarwal. I make the following observations based on their presence in other Lists and from their contributions to our List.. As shri Ram Chandran noted, shri Siddhrtha Krishna is an eminent scholar of advaita having studied the bhAShyA-s through learned gurU-s and at no less a place than Kailash Ashram, the pre-eminent brahmavidyApeeTh from Hrishikesh. During the past summer, I spent two weeks in Hrishikesh and at Kailash Ashram and had the good fortune to meet the MahAmanDaleshwar and participate in their evening prayers at the temple and chanting the various shiva stotras. That was an exhilarating experience for me and I can only imagine the divine grace bestowed on shri Siddhartha Krishna for spending many years at that august ashram. I look forward to learning a lot from him. It is only the divine grace that directed him to our List. From the advaita-l list, I notice shri Kartik's great familiarity with swami shivananda and swami krishnananda's work of the Divine Life society, Hrishikesh. I have seen many of shri Vishal Agarwal's postings in Indictradition and in advaita-l on ancient Indian literature and its significance. I look forward to their valuable contributions to our ongoing discussions. On behalf of the Moderators, I welcome these scholars to advaitin List. May their contributions further eradicate our ignorance of the SELF. Regards Gummuluru Murthy ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
