Moderation Announcement - New chief moderator for year 2002

[Guest guest]

namaste.

 

End of the year is approaching and this is the time again

for a change in stewardship of the List. I am stepping down

as chief moderator of the List. I am dropping out also as a

moderator at this time. I want to take this ooportunity to

express my deep sense of gratitude to all the members for

their help, cooperation and understanding throughout the year.

The List is not impervious to the happenings of the world and

as all of us know, this has been a particularly difficult year.

But with understanding of the members, and tremendous cooperation

from all the co-moderators, we tried to keep the List on focus and

meet the objectives.

 

Now it is my pleasant duty to introduce the new chief moderator

of the List shri Sadanandaji. Shri Sadanandaji is well known to

the List with his deep knowledge of advaita, which he has achieved

through the learned gurus and through deep contemplation. He is

an original member of the List since its inception, and has

helped numerous members clearing up their doubts. He is an

active participant in the List deliberations not only with

regular Notes on BrahmasUtrAbhAShyA but also on other topics.

He has a very clear knowledge of advaita and is willing to help

both newcomers and long-time members on advaitic understanding.

We are indeed fortunate that shri Sadananda garu has accepted

this responsibility. The List is in excellent hands under his

stewardship.

 

Regards

Gummuluru Murthy

This is addressed to Shri Gummuluruji,

 

Your presence as a thoughtful guide to all list

members ,I am sure, is appreciated by one and all of

the members.But, why relinquish being a moderator

also? Of course, everyone knows that your

contributions will continue to be there.

 

As rightly pointed out by you, Shri Sadanandaji needs

no intro and all will welcome him as Chief moderator

in the new year.

 

A special welcome to him from my side,personally.

 

Hari Om!

First I want to thank the moderators, particularly Shree Ramachandran who

volunteered me for the task of the Chief Moderator. The annnoucement came

just as I was about to be on travel to Hawaii perhaps that set the tone my

involvement as chief moderator. After this official vacation, I will be on

my personal vecation to India for five weeks - All this means is the

advaitin has been set up so efficiently and everything is standardized by

Shree Ram Chandran that there is not much I need to do. This also reflects

that elite group and the quality of the discussions that we have here on the

advaita list. There is a respect of each other and each other views and we

learn from each other contributions.

I would like very much form the silent majority to come forward and

participate in the discussions by expressing the views and their

understanding. This is the time-honored way of learning from each other -

only through discussions. We do that in Chinmaya Study groups and as we

expand and make use of the advaced compunication technology we are able to

expand and participate freely across the globe.

My first task, of course, is to thank our previous Chief Moderator, Shree

Gammuluru Murthy gaaru who has been an inspiration all along. Whether he is

the moderator or not I am sure he will be participating as usual and

stimuate discussions among us.

I am privilaged to be associated with the very good and supportive members

of the moderators and advaitin members. The list is growing at a steady

pace and will continue as we keep our discussions more and more focussed.

 

Thanks to our members and welcome everyone to contribute freely so that we

can all learn together.

 

Hari OM!

Sadananda

Namsate Shri Gummuluru-Ji,

 

Although I have been on this list for just about 4-5 months,

I would like to say that this list would benefit if it could

continue to receive your guidance as one of the list moderators.

 

Best regards

Shrinivas

namaste shri Shrinivasji and shri Swaminarayanji,

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

My apologies for the late response as this is a particularly

busy time at the University with end of semester exams etc.

 

It is a tradition (and a good one) on the Advaitin List that

there is rotation of the Chief Moderator at the beginning of

every calendar year.

 

I have been moderator of the List for the past three years

and I think it is time that I be only a regular contributing

member. Firstly, the List runs smoothly and there may not be

a necessity for a large team of moderators. If a task arises,

the moderators can co-opt a member to take care of that job.

Secondly, vacating the moderator position gives opportunity

for the continuing co-moderators to recruit a new co-moderator

with fresh ideas, if they so desire. As for me, I would like

to be just a member participating in the thrust of discussions

and learning. I will be available for any task the moderators

may assign from time to time depending on time availability.

 

Regards

Gummuluru Murthy

Thanks to Shri Gummuluru-Ji for doing an excellent job as the chief

moderator of the Advaitin list for last year. Gummuluru-Ji is not only a

learned scholar and one who understand the nature of truth but also

exemplifies all the best qualities possible in a human being that make him

loved by all. These include rationality combined with sincerity and humility

and compassion for all. We all look forward to Sri Murthyji's continued

presence.

 

Sadaji, the new chief moderator, is well known to us and widely loved and

respected. Sadaji's brilliant and powerful intellect has many times

clarified for us the subtle points of scriptures and Sri Shankra's

teachings.

 

Pranams to Sri Gummuluruji and Sri Sadaji. We are fortunate for their

presence.

 

Love to all

Harsha
