Shata Sloki .......

[Guest guest]

our beloved professorji writes...

 

In fact I would like to stop my postings of Shata-shlokI, if it is

likely to divert your audience -- though in beginning it, my opinion

was that it would be very light compared to the RV discussion, and

probably > would meet the needs of some beginners on advaita.

 

Professorji, please don't! rthe shata sloki postings are

complimentary to the Rg Veda postings - they sdo not in any way come

into conflict with the Vedic verses.... What could be more blissful

to hear the shruthi and to read ADI SHANKARA's Slokas - we are

virtually in 'PARADISE' ....

 

here is what one of the members of my group wrote in appreciation of

professorji's shata sloki posts ...

I have heard many times from Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj that

Satguru is more 'alaukika' than the philosopher's stone which is

capable of turning any metal only into gold.

Sri Guru, the God-realized Master, turns his fully surrenered soul

into another philosopher's stone which in turn is capable of

transforming more metals into gold, i.e. reaching out to as many souls

as possible.

 

In this way 'loka kalyaaNa' is achieved to a greater extent by the

Saintly Guru on the earth.

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!

 

Dear all, i agree with my friend 100%.

 

It has been established that everyone has the right to the knowledge

(of Brahman) and that the supreme goal is attained by that knowledge

alone."

so, professorji! pl continue! it is rarely that we read such gems on

the web ( yours and Knightji's excellent exposition on the rig veda.)

People who know do not normally have the time to share . SO, it is

indeed great of you anfd knightji to take the time to share all this

knowledge with us! we are very fortunate...

 

love and regards
