GITA SATSANG - DEC. 21, 2001

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

It is a pleasure to announce that Shri Narinder Bali will

co-moderate the Gita Satsang along with Madhavaji, starting in

January 2002. I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure this year, and I

thank all the moderators and list members for their contributions and

unstinted co-operation.

 

Narinderji also has an excellent web-site on Gita at:

 

http://in.geocities.com/gitabykrishna/index_gss.html

 

This will be my last posting for this year, and I shall close it

with the thoughts of reflecting on the Imperatives, which Sri Krishna

addressed to Arjuna.

 

[To keep the posting within a reasonable space, I am not including

the translations here. They can be accessed at the sites noted at the

end, or if there is a special request to add them in another posting.]

 

Regards,

 

Sunder

 

[it is noteworthy how frequently Sri Krishna has used the imperatives

'viddhi' [know/understand this]'and 'shruNu' ['listen'] with the

concern befitting a mother, father, teacher, all combined!]
