List is looking for Discussion Leaders and Topics!

[Guest guest]

Sri Bhaskar has suggested several topics that may be grouped into

the following two for discussion purposes:

 

(1) The Historical Perspectives of Vedanta

drushi-srushti vAda, srushti-drushti vAda, ajAti vAda

prasankyana vAda, Vignaana vAda

philosophical difference between bhAmati & vivaraNa

 

Honestly many websites contain detailed description of the historical

perspective.

I encourage our members to volunteer and to present and summarize

the related materials to the fellow members.

 

(2) Relevance of fate and free-will in Advaita Vedanta

 

We have discussed fate and free-will in greater details at least two

times before. We could discuss this topic again if there is

sufficient interest. If there is sufficient interest and if Dennis

Waite wants to lead the discussions we could start this from next

month.

 

Sri Benjamin poses the following question as a topic for discussion:

 

(3) Should pleasure be avoided as much as possible? Or is it merely a

matter of

moderation? Can pleasure even be absorbed into realization with the

proper 'attitude'?

 

This is again an important topic for discussion and once again we

need a volunteer to come forward to lead the discussion.

 

Looking forward to hear from Volunteer Discussion Leaders

 

Warmest regards,
