An Earnest Request from the List Moderators

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

First thanks for your cooperation in keeping the list focusing on its

scope and noble goals and we truly appreciate your efforts.

 

We can still improve on several grounds and the following steps

can greatly help the list sailing smoothly through the ocean of

thoughts and insights:

 

1. Follow 'Swadharma' while posting our messages and the guideline is

quite simple. Some messages that we read bring peace and happiness

and some others bring frustrations and uneasiness. If we follow

swadharma, we take time to make sure that our messages bring happiness

as much as possible. All actions including posting a message should be

done with the 'yagna' spirit and with sincerity and conviction not to

hurt others. The reward for posting a message that brings happiness

and peace to many is the message itself!

 

2. Make determination not to include the entire message of a poster

while replying back. Also while replying, we should make sure whether

the reply is relevant for all the members of the list, if not, send a

private email reply instead of sending to the list. When we send the

reply, read the email address of the addressee and make approrpiate

ameendment as necessary. It does take little more time to delete

unnecessary portions of the message but it is worthwhile because it is

a win-win strategy for universal happiness.

 

3. While debating on the subject matter, let us forget the personality

of the poster and make a pledge not to make unnecessary remarks

with high potentials for spreading anger and frustration to our fellow

members. Let us remember that as advaitins, we have committed

ourselves for the universal peace and happiness.

 

Thanks again for your cooperation and support,

 

Warmest regards,
