Namaste, Sri Chilukuri Bhunvaneswar, and thank you for your gracious welcome.

 

When I was in England I taught English language and Literature, and Drama, to

secondary school pupils (aged 12-16) and my degree is actually in Philosophy and

Psychology, thus I fear I am no expert when it comes to linguistics; however, I

am interested in what you suggest in your post, though unsure exactly what that

is! Please tell me more.

 

Best wishes,

 

Grant.

Hi Sadananda-ji,

My comment has to be: "????".

 

I'm afraid I did not even understand Grant's statement. The book I wrote is

actually a straight presentation (though in a modern and readable style) of

the teaching of Advaita, traditional and Direct Path, summarising the

philosophy and the various 'paths' by which its principles may be followed.

Nothing about linguistics - sorry!

 

Regards,

 

Dennis

My dear noble devotee of Sri Sankara

Bhagavatpujyapada,

 

 

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

 

 

I am really very happy to know that you have

specialized in psychology and philosophy.I am not a

specialist in any one of them , in any thing. Anyhow ,

by a curious twist of events leading from horses to

equine folklore to proverbs to linguistics to

advaita,I am now looking seriosly for people who are

interested in language to share my views and help me

to learn more about what I am doing.

 

I DO NOT WANT TO GUIDE ANYONE AND THAT IS NOT THE

PURPOSE FOR WHICH I HAVE JOINED THIS GROUP.

 

I want to find out answers for the following questions

to account for the structure of proverbs in

conversation and the reason for their very occurrence

in the conversation at all:

 

1.Why do we speak the way we speak,i.e.,what are the

factors that bring about the variation in our thought

process and speech?

 

2.What is the real function of language in the overall

design of creation?

 

3.What is the inter-relationship between the different

types of action:mental,physical and vocal ?

 

In this connection ,I will be very grateful to you if

you could kindly help me in collecting conversational

exchanges in English in which proverbs occur in real

life situations. This is possible if you or your

friends with whom you converse use proverbs in

conversation. I did it in my mother tongue Telugu and

I want to cross-check with other languages.

 

I believe that in the process of analysing them we go

to the very roots of advaita and the theory of

creation.Language is the only medium that can take us

to the limits and beyond the domain of mind - to that

by which all this is created.

 

I hope I have submitted my case to you briefly but for

a start it is enough.

 

Yours in Sri Sankara Bhagavatpujyapada's love,

 

 

Chilukuri Bhuvaneswar
