A NOTE TO CONTRIBUTORS

[Guest guest]

Dear Contributors:

 

BOUNCINGS:

It will be seen from the extracts from the Home Page of

“Sri Ranga Sri” (copied below this message) that the Active membership

which rose to over 1700, has dwindled to about 1500,

due to numerous cases of bouncing (about 850 as on date).

This is because of the limited capacity of the mailboxes of such members.

 

This, of course, is a temporary phenomenon because many such accounts

spring back to "Active" status subsequently and thus the TOTAL

membership is normally maintained at the level of about 2500.

 

DESUBSCRIBING:

Many members have complained that the messages featured outside the pale of

the regular issues (allowed to encourage "Reader- participation"), often

turn out to be irrelevant and diversionary - defeating the very ethos of

“Sri Ranga Sri” as a unique Journal and resulting in crowding of their

mailboxes unnecessarily. And, some have chosen to de- for this reason.

 

COPYCAT VERSIONS:

Also, for this reason, copycat versions of the same materials appearing in

other lists add to the problem and,therefore,will not be entertained in

“Sri Ranga Sri” in future.

 

The Moderator, however, reserves the right to feature(in rare cases)

any such materials of exceptional quality worthy of such repetition.

 

Similarly, moderators of other groups may feel free to flash any of the

articles appearing in our Regular issues in their respective sites,

if they find them worthy of such repetition.

 

You may have noticed that for this reason, regular postings in

“Sri Ranga Sri” journal are NOT being submitted to other lists,

- the only exception being the “Editorials” of the issues

as and when released, by way of information to members

of these other lists.

 

DISCUSSIONS:

We would like to reiterate that "Sri Ranga Sri" is *PRIMARILY A JOURNAL* and

*NOT* a general discussion group. However, discussions relevant to the

topics featured in the "Regular Issues" and which are not repugnant to the

objectives of the Journal (as detailed in the preamble) are welcome.

 

We feel reluctantly constrained to reject articles that are not germane to

the topics arising out of the postings in the Journal proper OR are out of

sync with the mission statement of “Sri Ranga Sri” viz:

 

“This is a group of "Swami Desika Darsana Satsangam" (SDDS) for studying

Srivaishnava - Visishtadvaita philosophy and practices as laid down by

Azhwaars and as clarified by Achaaryas of Bhagavad Ramanuja - Swami Desika

Sath Sampradayam. Articles and discussions are welcome subject to the

general norms of tolerance and mutual respect within the realms of the above

philosophy and practices”

 

PERSONAL OPINIONS:

Often times, it is seen that personal opinions and speculations are

projected on many issues, leading to never ending arguments and counter

arguments that divert the focus. It may please be ensured that appropriate

authority (Pramanam) is invariably cited to support any opinions projected,

preferably with the actual quotes.

 

ORIGINAL MESSAGES:

While replying to points of another Bhagavata,raised within the above

parameters, please take care to delete the "Original message" in your reply,

if the original message had appeared already in the "Sri Ranga Sri" message

board. If found absolutely necessary, the "Subject" of the original message

may be "cited" instead of allowing the entire message to appear again in

your reply.

 

We may have to reject such replies where the original message is not deleted

before submission to us.

 

EXCEPTIONS:

Of course, Special announcements of Tele - Upanyasams, Tele - Stotram

classes, availability of books, Cassettes, CDs etc. and such other

"time-sensitive" matters are welcome for the information of members.

 

QUESTION BOX QUERIES:

Queries on doubts relating to the philosophy (Siddhaantam)

and practices (AnushTaanam) may be addressed to

"Ramanbil" with the words "Question Box"

in the subject column.

Only queries received as above will be entertained.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
