Namaste, I have no objection to a topic, and no preference as to what it should be, provided we are permitted to post on subjects other than the designated topic without being censured. How long has this "topic of the month" plan been in vogue? I don't recall such emphasis being placed on a monthly topic in the past. It does offer the advantage of going into greater depth, but leaves some of us non-specialists feeling we are "out of our depth".

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Shree Shivaram Das The topic idea is only to concentrate on one topic since we keep discussing again and again in bits and pieces. Some topics may be of interest to some and not for others. But by focussing on one aspect we tend to bring information that is relavent which we overlook otherwise. For example, j~nana-Bhakti topic we were exposed many other related topics - discussion of Bhakti in Yoga VasishhTa, or teachings of Sage Kabir etc., which many would not have been able to get hold of but for the efforts of some who took interest. The purpose the list serve is learn from each other. This, of course, does not prevent anyone to discuss any other topic and those who are interested in the other topics will contribute. Hence any topic on Advaita can be posted irrespective of the central topic for that month. So do not feel constrained to discuss only the topic of that month. If the topic of the month is of interest to you, feel free to contribute or express your opinions. Hari OM!
