Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 _____ RamanaMaharshi [RamanaMaharshi] On Behalf Of John Saturday, July 09, 2005 10:43 AM RamanaMaharshi [RamanaMaharshi] Notice re the List Om Namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaaya 3. If one teacher's satsangs are allowed to be continually aired on this list, then everyone who has a teacher must also be allowed to air their teacher's words; and if that happens, it drifts away from the message of Sri Ramana, ******************************************************* ***** I am not a moderator here but what is said above by Sri John makes perfect sense to me. The periodic insistence that this list be used for purposes other than what it was intended for is an imposition on other members. Generally, the moderators of this list in the past have tended to be tolerant and liberal when a list member deviates from the main purpose. But where does one draw the line. Moderators have to make judgments and they are human beings and therefore the judgments are colored by their humanity. Let us appreciate their service. It should be noted that Sri Ramana seldom attempted to undermine the Ashram management. And people who did not obey the Ashram rules or went against the Ashram spirit were asked to leave (even if they were devotees). _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Dear Harsha, yes, well said. John does his best. In former times moderation was more tolerant and open and in the very beginning moderation was not even or only rarely needed. But things changed. The list grew and the line can easily be missed. We should give John all our support as members. It is a difficult duty anyway for him. If it is now a more strict going it will help concentrate on Ramana. Kind Regards Gabriele ******************************************************* ***** I am not a moderator here but what is said above by Sri John makes perfect sense to me.
