*****High Priority doable tasks

April 4, 2001

Jai Gurudev,

******** high priority doable tasks

can any one back up all the messages that are posted here so that

the time we put in discussion is preserved and probably can be useful

in future to to main site or new site

1)so i want arvind to take a back up of messages on daily/weelkly or

monthly basis if he finds any problems he should let us know

2)now we have to come to a conclusing on the initail categories and

then we have to search the content , so as they are hardly few people

who post on web getting content is a problem so what should we do

now???????

3)regarding search engines arvind should atelast prepare a list of

search engines and so that people can go and look out for

'nikhileshwar','Dr NarayanDutt Shrimali ji' 'international

siddhashram sadhak parivar',issp','mantra tantra yantra

vigyan' 'sadhana''kundalini' and come to our main site

****see if the searchble words are enough are to be added

so arvind list out the various search engines and words so that

people can find and report the status and then we will recommend the

list to be updated to mainsite

eg

search engine nikhileshwar issp DR NarayanDutt Shrimaliji .. ..

google 1(main site) 1 1 ..

...

so ashish should tell what are the problems he is facing /will face

almost daily and its good that he is trying to update the status of

his coding

love to all of u

Jai Gurudev Birendraji

I am sorry, but I fail to understand the need to take a backup. This

server aint going anywhere! I have been taking out the "cream" from

the various emails and summarising/ordering them. Sent a summary

yesterday which covered all the main points discussed till then. Will

send one today also.

I am sorry, but I guess that I have been misunderstood about

searchengine. There are thousands of search engines/directories etc.

out there. Whever I come across a new portal/directory, I normally

check if www.siddhashram.org is already registered. If it aint,

then I just try to either register it, or send a mail to Gurudham. I

just wanted people to tell if they know of any such "rogue(yet

unknown)" directories/portals/engines where www.siddhashram.org isnt

registered. We can consolidate in a list, and send it to Gurudham. Of

course, one is always welcome to register www.siddhashram.org on it

oneself, if one wants to!

I dont want to give a specific list of words for people to search for

in search engine. Everyone is different, and my own "list" will be

prejudiced according to my ownself.

Thanks Carlos for passing the zianet link. I am checking if we are

registered in all of these!

Bishnuji, I personally dont like those people who do something

without guidance/permission from Gurudham. Most of these individuals

are interested in self-promotion or have petty aims. Eventually

their mission becomes to criticise & damage the good work done by

Gurudham. Anyone doing anything against Revered Trimurti Gurudev's

permission/wishes isn't worth anything. I hate these pseudogurus who

think&promote themselves as being high&mighty on the basis of a few

sadhanas. have seen many such pseudogurus rise & fall in the past 2

decades. Even Guru-Gita forbids one to have any association with

those who insult the Guru. So, I dont think that we should even list

those organisations who are doing work without Gurudham's

permission/guidance/link. Hope others agree with me in this.

Thanks a lot Amitji for providing some useful insight into mp3

format. We sud endeavour to put pravachans etc. on www.siddhashram.org

Thanks. Jai Gurudev
