New Memeber Introduction - Welcome to Sri Ananda Wood

[Guest guest]

Namaste:

 

With great pleasure, we welcome Sri Ananda Wood, a new

member to the list. We invite and encourage Sri Ananda

Wood to actively participate in the list discussions

with their thoughtful questions and comments.

 

The list mdoerators want to assure Sri Ananda Wood

that the list would be delighted to see his postings

with an interpretation of Advaita Vedanta using modern

terms. The list moderators wholeheartedly agree with

Sri Ananda's contention - "such an interpretation

needs to be all the more careful and exact, for its

being free."

 

Warmest regards,
