Topics for January and February

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

With reference to Shri Sunder's and Shri Sadananda's messages of 2nd

Jan, I should say that the 8 articles meant to introduce Shri

Atmananda's teachings are now over (though of course I will try to

answer any remaining questions about them).

 

So it is Shri Sunder's options 2, 3 and 4 which will naturally take

over, as they seem to be doing quite effectively at present.

 

With continuing thanks to fellos list members for their stimulating

and helpful discussions,

 

Ananda

 

----------------

 

Shri Sunder's options 2, 3 and 4 are:

 

2. Focus on the series Soundarya lahari, or Advaita Manjari.

3. Members may post their questions or thoughts about Advaita in

general.

4. Any other suggestions would be welcome for consideration.

Namaste Anandaji,

 

First of all, on behalf of all readers let me congratulate and

thank you for your inestimable contributions to this list over the

last few months, and your assurance of continuing to answer questions

on the topic of Sri Atmananda's teachings.

 

We shall spend this month of January to 'digest' your '8-

course meal', and get ready for Nirmalaji's postings on Amritanubhava

in February. Incidentally, in addition to Benjamin-ji's pointers of

on-line links, one book of special interest related to Amritanubhava

is Balsekar's translation of it. As his teacher, Nisargadatta, also

was from the same Natha sampradaya as Jnaneshvara, anyone who has

access to this book would be well placed to elaborate on the text.

Having said that, we need to plan further ahead for the rest

of the year - Sri Dennis Waite and Sri Madathil Nair are next in

line, but anyone else who is ready can also be scheduled (earlier or

later according to their convenience).

 

To allay the shyness/fear of other prospective leaders, I

would like to state that the lead article may be short and need not

be necessarily long or in many parts. It can be in the form of a long

question too!

 

Bhaskarji, please let us know when you are ready.

 

Regards,

 

Sunder

Namaste Sunderji.

 

Don't let Anandaji off the hook yet. I am afraid I have something to

ask him which sure will have him pour more of his wisdom in January.

I am still choosing my words in response to his reply in the midst of

a heavery schedule of office and personal work. With Nirmalaji around

with a very promising topic, I don't think we have to overtax

oursleves during the first month of the new year. Let us, therefore,

take it easy.

 

I stand committed with purnamatha... I have no material in hand as

yet and, in the circumstances, will bank on the backyard of my mind

and common-sense and of course on the wisdom of fellow members. On

Dennisji's prodding, I am trying to advance it to Feb. but not sure

if I can make it due to other personal commitments. However, please

rest assured I am there for March. However, no promises that I can

make my lead post short, the unabashed talker I am. I only hope that

pUrnNamatha.. gives us sufficient scope to endure through a full

month. With such wonderful audience around, why not?! We did that

with a non-topic - "Light in Enlightenment"!

 

PraNAms.
