About Sadhak Website

[Guest guest]

JAI GURUDEV

Hello everyone...

 

As Charanjit already told you, the new version of Sadhak is online.

With Arvind's help, I was able to have a word with Nand Kishore

Guruji about this website. Since the conversation was initiated by

Arvind, I do not know what he told to Guruji and what he did not.

First, Guruji asked me about my business and then, he asked why

didn't I call him before for Sadhak website. He sounded happy. I told

him about my repeated failures in contacting him. He then asked for

my telephone number and said whenever he gets time, he would visit

Sadhak and then call me to discuss what 'ELSE' can be done. I am

still waiting for his call and I know, he is still very busy. Since

he said he would discuss WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE, I am assuming that he

has no objections about Sadhak. If he had, he would have told me. I

am considering this his blessing to all of us for Sadhak website.

Now, I hope, I won't have to deal with harsh criticism saying that

Sadhak website is not something with FULL BLESSING of Guruji. I have

initiated discussion on this topic with Guruji and would love to

continue it my way.

 

Siddhashram.Org is the official website of Gurudham. We are not

allowed to add / edit / remove the contents and we shouldn't ever be

allowed to do so considering security matters. But, every disciple

wants to do something for Guruji and I am no exception. Being in the

web business, all I could think of was a website. When I joined this

group, I thought it would be a great idea if we could all join hands

and perform Guru-Sewa like a team. The Sadhak website is the outcome

of that idea and it allows all of us to express our thoughts about

Guruji and Spirituality without messing with the official website. I

never intended to pick contents from Sadhak, alter it, remove the

original articles from Sadhak and send your hard work to Gurudham to

be posted on Siddhashram.Org as my work. I never had this idea and I

am not going to support any such idea.

 

Sadhak website is built to help people get rid of their

misunderstandings and become one with Guruji. It is a place where

every disciple gets a chance to perform Guruseva. It is a place where

people get to know the realities of Indian Spirituality, visits

Siddhashram.Org and ultimately, leads to completeness. I never asked

Guruji for a link on Siddhashram.Org because I believe once a person

has reached there, he doesn't need to go anywhere else.

 

Today, a gurubhai told me that he want's to consolidate a few

articles from Sadhak to be sent to Siddhashram.Org and he would like

those four articles (Three from Charanjit and One from Anu) to be

deleted once he is done. This would destroy this platform for Guru-

Sewa. No one would want to work for hours on an article only to see

it removed from Sadhak within a week. Whatever we post on Sadhak is

gathered from Guruji's teachings, Guruji's books and Siddhashram.Org.

This would never be a good idea to alter those posts and send them to

the very place of their origin. Wouldn't it also be a copyright

violation?

 

Anu and Charanjit have posted english translation of Guru Pujan just

to help those who don't have 'Dainik Sadhana Vidhi' or any such book

since Guru Pujan is the first step of any Sadhana. A must know for

all. Guru Pujan is the only way to completeness. I congratulate both

of them for their splendid work. Even if anyone considers this a

copyright violation, I am not going to remove them ever.

 

The new version of Sadhak ends my monopoly and employs better

security features. To become an author, one must be a disciple of

Guruji. There are two types of users: 1. Reviewer Author 2. Normal

Author. Normal Authors are allowed to post and edit their articles,

but none of them would appear on Sadhak until any one of the Reviewer

Authors has approved it after carefully reading it. The Reviewer

Author also has the right to block any published article that he/she

considers inappropriate. The Reviewer Author doesn't need any

approval. The Reviewer Author is the one who creates new accounts and

who can promote a Normal Author to a Reviewer Author.

 

If you would like to post an article, a definition or a frequently

asked question along with it's answer but do not have an account at

Sadhak; contact any of The Reviewer Authors. Once you have your

username and passowrd, just sign into your account and you are ready

to show the world whose disciple you are.

 

The Reviewer Authors are Arvind, Anu and Charanjit.

 

Thanks and have a nice day.

-dear brother ashish,

it is mid night there. why are you not sleeping? i am very happy that

you could speak to GURUJi. arvind needs to be applauded for his

effort.

I know how tough it can be to contact GURUji, especially Nand Kishore

Guruji as he rarely is around for public meetings.

Yes, sadhak has GURUji's blessings now. He never opposed the idea.

I have a suggestion. If you want to talk to GURUji but are not able

to, just write a letter in his name and post it. My experience says

will definitely read it.

It will save you frustration.

ASHISH, THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT ON GURU POOJAN.

 

though, my objection is that articles posted should be original, and

not cut paste from Siddhashram, or any where else with "you" as the

author.

that is why i clearly mentioned that i am not the author, not even the

translator. merely a typist.

 

it is not important to me to have "my" article there. you clearly know

my stand that i will not write until i succeed in some sadhnas.

 

however, none of us is more a representative of GURUdham than the

other. GURUdev is my GURUDEV as well as yours. and i consider it his

will that i sat and spent time typing the poojan up, despite my oath

not to write for sadhak yet. Believe me i cursed myself for making a

commitment to have it ready the next day.

 

and while you have all the right to ask that your article be given the

imporatance to be placed on the main web site, i am happy to have mine

anywhere sadhaks who need it can find it. if that helps make sadhak

site popular - all the better. Siddhashram, despite your and other web

designers comment is a wonderful site to me who is a lay man. and has

enough great matter. it does not need 2 pages typed by me to be more

effective.

Dear Anu,

Now, it's 3:40 AM and I am still not sleeping. Waking to keep my

business in good shape.

Thanks. I would.

Sure. The next time a new article is posted, I'll try more to find

out it's roots. Maybe, this way I would be able to become what I

always wanted to be, a secret agent

Don't worry. Best wishes of all of us will neutralize that curse.

> if that helps make sadhak site popular - all the better.

 

Your article has surely helped all of us. That's why it has got the

most hits even if it is only 2 days old.

> Siddhashram, despite your and other web designers comment is a

I commented only to help make it better technically. The contents are

the best and I never commented on them.

 

Thanks and have a nice day.

I m yet to find the gentleman who has proposed this idea. One thing

is disturbing me that whatever articles I have written are already

present in the main site. I have just collected the materials from

various books/site and moulded the same in my way and presented it.

So if the things are already available on the main site what is the

logic to post it again.
