Welcome and Introduction of Prof. V.Krishnamurthy as Chief Moderator

[Guest guest]

Namaste Advaitin Pilgrims:

 

It is a singular privilege for me to be in the position of introducing

to you Prof. V Krishnamurthy as the next Chief Moderator of this

Group, beginning Mar. 1, 2005.

 

Prof.VK-ji, as he is fondly called, is no stranger to us. He was

introduced once before by Sri Ram Chandran-ji when he joined us as a

member, in the following words:

 

"I am pleased to welcome and introduce Prof. V. Krishnamurthy, a

well-known scholar of Hindu Religion and Philosophy from India. His

father Viswanatha Sastrigal was a great Sanskrit and Advaita Scholar.

Dr. Krishnamurthy has written several books on Hinduism with the

titles:

(1) Hinduism for the next Generation,

(2) The Ten Commandments of Hinduism and

(3) The Essentials of Hinduism.

He was formerly the Deputy Director and Professor of Maths of Birla

Institute of Technology at Pilani, and retired in 1988. After his

retirement, he has been giving lectures on Hinduism, the Gita and the

Upanishads. …."

Namaste Sunderji, ProfVKji:

 

I am extremly delighted to know that Sri Sunderji chose "Saint

Valentine Day" for handing over the responsibility of Chief

Moderator of the list to ProfVKji. Valentine Day represents Love with

undivided devotion and dedication. Sunderji indeed demonstrated to

all of us his love for everyone in this list through his dedicated

service during the past 15 months.

 

The list is truly blessed by the Lord and our incoming leader,

ProfVKji will likely shower us with his scholorship, wisdom,

dedication and service.

 

I want to take this opportunity to thank both these stalwarts -

Sunderji for his outstanding leadership and ProfVKji for his

willingness to accept this responsibility inspite of limited time

availability. They both provide inspiration and motivation to one

and all.

 

With my warmest regards and love,

 

Ram Chandran

[Guest guest]

I join Sri Ramji in giving thanks to both our incoming Chief Moderator

Sri ProfVKji and outgoing Chief Moderator Sri Sunderji. Both are well

known to all the list members for their wisdom, scholarship, humility,

and their dedication in explaining the subtle aspects of Advaita

Vedanta. It is a pure joy to read their words.

 

Thank you for all that you have given and continue to give selflessly.

 

When I reflect on the beauty of all that has been written here by Sri

Sadaji, Sri Frankji, Sri Nairji, Sri Ananda Woodji and so many others,

it seems that truly, we are all in the company of great souls.

 

Love and warm regards

Harsha

Namaste All

 

Like all great institutions, this satsangha too has had and will have

many great illuminating moments and occasional difficult times.

I can imagine the not so easy difficulties moderators could face in

maintaining the purity of this forum, not being too intrusive and yet

intervening with wisdom and as much subtlety as is required when

challenges arise.

A heartfelt kudos to Sunderji and welcome to profvkji and thanks to

all the other members as well for the sense of belonging that happens

here and is nurtured.

Many namsakarams to all

Namaste Sri Sunder Hattangadi-ji and a Big welcome to Sri Prof-VKji

 

I wasn't posting much to this eGroup for a couple of years and only

recently joined the discussions but I can see the benefits of Sri

Sunder-ji's efforts.

 

Prof-VKji - A close friend of mine in Portland mentioned that about

your lectures on Gita that you presented in his house and how

impressed he was with your lectures. I would like to welcome you to

visit Sacramento and would love to hear your expositions if you are

in the neighbourhood.

 

 

regards

Dear Advaitins,

It is indeed an honor and privilege to welcome Prof VK ji as our Chief

Moderator. I was introduced to Advaitins.com by him and have religiously!

followed the conversations in the web site since then. I have enjoyed his

postings along with others. He is indeed a scholar who is very clear and concise

in his writings about even extremely difficult topics. I am looking forward to

his navigating this site for even more glorious understanding of Advaita and

Brahman.

Wishing him all the Best,

Faithfully,

Siva Subramanian
