Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Jai Gurudev I think that www.siddhashram.org is a better platform for putting details of all old magazines/books/audio/video etc.. I am sure that work in this direction is already being done in Jodhpur Gurudham. Slowly and steadily, they are uploading most of the things on the official website. I am not very confortable with the putting of books into pdf format. Because, most of Gurudev's books were published by publishers like Dehati Pushtak Bhandar, Pushtak Mahal etc., and there will be copyright issues involved. So, I will rather advice against putting the entire book online. However, having said, putting in some excerpt of the book/magazine like 1-2 chapters etc. will be a better thing. This will give an idea to a new person about the content of the book, and will prompt and encourage him to buy a new book. A good Guru Sewa might be to actually type in or scan some chapters of each book and mail that to mtyv Let us not forget that a major part of money from book/cassettes selling goes towards charitable activities. Let us not suffocate the charity bit in this process. A person who pays money to buy book or for Diksha etc. actually does a "Dhan Daan" , and wipes out part of his karma. I don't like giving away things free. A person getting a free handout never, never appreciates the importance of it. Charge him a token amount to "make " it worthful. Secondly, we have to be very, very careful to ensure that both sites do not compete with each other. The synergy of both should complement , and be mutually rewarding to each. That means, that the new site sud not go into official issues like publication of magazine old issues, books etc. That is remit of www.siddhashram.org , and it is already doing it. It is in process of putting in audio,video etc. Let us not duplicate what already is being done. However, the new site can have some comments on books etc. by various Sadhaks. We can also have some English translation of Gurudev's old books. How many people know that Gurudev actually wrote more than 600 books. There are hundreds of books on astrology, ayurveda etc. Most of those books (¬80%) are actually out of print, and very few people have got copies. Let us get details of those books and put that on the net. Let people contribute about their experiences in shivir etc. Any new person joining in is interested in knowing what a shivir (sadhana camp) is like, how is it conducted? someone can write details on this based on his own expereinces. Yes, I know that stuff like this might be more difficult than just typing/scanning of existing mags&books, but then as Gurudev said - "Sewa Dharam Ati Kathora" (Service to Guru is very, very difficult) Let us take tough tasks. Problems might come. Let us challenge these problems and overcome them. Let us not go into anything official. We do not have a mandate or permission for that. It is basically, a "forum" for Sadhaks to help the Sadhaks by virtue of their own experiences and knowledge. Let us keep it this way and not dilute the effect (or effort). About new name etc. Why not use www.siddhashram.net I think that it is a good idea as this forum is basically a network of Sadhaks of Siddhashram. This domain is in name of Gurudham . We can ask Gurudev for permission to use this domain name. This will also create less confusion, as www.siddhashram.net will be a logical extension of www.siddhashram.org As this site is basically an addition of the main site, so I don't see any need for having multiple names. This , again might confuse the new comers. If at all, you are keen to take a new name, then probably, the best way forward is to propose a list of names to Pujya Trimurti Gurudevji and get a name chosen/allocated by Them. This will also mean getting a Divine Aashirwaad and blessings for the task. Moroever, I will also strongly recommend making Delhi or Jodhpur Gurudham as the main domain owner instead of any single individual. You can take it in name of any of the three Gurudevs. I am willing to spend the money for taking the domain name in Gurudev's name , as it is Guru Sewa.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 JAI GURUDEV Dear Arvind, We are not going for any paid service right now, so we can't have names like www.siddhashram.net. The naming patter of Brinkster (which we would be using if we have no better alternative) is like www14.brinkster.com/WHATEVER_WE_LIKE_IF_AVAILABLE. We are building a forum, an extension for siddhashram.org. Let's not make things more complicated. Let's get started using a free service and make it grow. If anything is worthy to be included in siddhashram.org, Guruji will have it included. We are implementing just a filter, not a fulfledged website. As you have suggested, we must make sure that these two sites do not compete and anything like siddhashram.net would be a sure competition. Now, I need your help. 1. Suggest a short, easy to remember, worthy, relevant name which fits in the above mentioned name. 2. There are many suggetions regarding the sections in the new site. I am confused. Please, consult everyone and give me the final verdict. Without these two informations, I can't proceed. Please, concentrate on these two. Thanks.
