Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Reactions are as expected.People speak as though our great Indian Maharshi's did not have knowledge or had totally irrational thinking while framing rules for worshiip.When people are writing ton loads of about their half baked knowledge,they should remember that they are denigrating the values and principles for which our great ancestors stood for. Let me quote an example here.People in this group are today speaking at length about rudraksha because they have gained knowledge about it just because of one of our great Maharshi named Jabali who authored the "Rudraksha Jabalopanishat".Similarly for every worship they framed certain rules and regulations based on their understanding of brahman and through their yogic capacities.I have quoted the basis for worship based on these “Devatarchana Vidhi’s” and not from my personal views which everybody is doing in this group.Obviously many people in the list are ill informed and they do not wish to accept the correct things ,and if they do not wish so be it."Where ignorance is bliss,it is folly to be wise".

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Dear skpuru, Not trying to be disrespectful; however, I am new to the group, and I do have a Sri Yantra which I purchased throught the Hare Krishna distributors. I do not understand the Sanskrit words that you use. Could you please tell us how to worship the Sri Yantra plainly. You mention a special box. What type of box is this? Where does one attain it? You mention (I think it means) five types of worship or things for worship. What are these? Where does one get them? I lack complete understanding and the knowledge of where to obtain the articles for worship, and I also do not know enought of Sanskrit to follow your words.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Dear Purushothamji Namaskar Mitra and thank you for giveing me the opportunity to clarify again Your comment of.... reactions are as expected.... makes me wonder if you have set this situation up in a self serveing way so you might be able to comment on our supposed inadequacies and lack of understanding Also thinking you might be a newer member to this group because it is know from past messages that we do not insult or damage dedicated Gurus on this group site. In addition your quoted example is incorrect because we have not read the complete works of the Rudraksajabalopanishad so you will find little reference to this work on our group site or website. Although we recognize your right to freedom of speach both your comments specific to denigrateing Teachings and Knowledge from the Rudrksajabalopanishad are inappropriate, unacceptable and incorrect The half baked knowledge you are referring to comes directly from the Siva Puran and the Srimaddevibhagavat so maybe you could take responsibility for your comment and tell us specificly what is half baked or incorrect regarding this Knowledge from the Holy Books. Maybe you could try telling us in your own words instead of quoting from the works of others to express yourself The personal experiental knowledge shared by members who have recieved the Blessings of Lord Siva in their personal lives by wearing the Holy Rudraksa cannot be criticized because these experiences are personal and valid......... to each indivual........ who is at a slightly different place on their Spritual Path. The required reaction to these experiences is Respect and Understanding We do encourage people to think for themselves and freely express themselves....... instead of constantly quoteing from the original works of other to explain themselves........... however this in no way damages the Highly Auspicious works of dedicated Gurus, Teachers and Holy Books It is known and accepted that in the beginning of the Spiritual Path there is a need to follow the Teachings of someone who knows more however in the process of Self Empowerment on the Spiritual Path the dedicated Guru or Teacher is also aware of the time when the devotee becomes the Guru Themselves We encourage people to read the Holy Books and question the references that do not apply to present moment liveing in todays world. Again this does not demean or damage any traditional Knowledge written thousands of years ago An example of this would be questioning verse 71 in Chapter 25 of the Siva Puran Vidyesvarasamhita Verse 71 states A Rudraksa with six faces is Kartikeya. A man who wears it on the right arm is certainly absolved of the sins of brahmin slaughter and the like This if found in the Siva Puran and is not correct Knowledge. Although Brahmin slaughter may have been an activity that had to be dealt with at the time of writing of Siva Puran the wearing of a Rudraska will not forgive the slaughter of any Human Life in any age and especially in this Age of Accountability we live in today In addition it is known that from the north to the south of India the ceremonies for the same purpose differ slightly according to region. Even though the ceremonies slightly differ and the Teachings of the different Gurus slightly differ they are all valid Teachings. There is no one Guru whose Basic Teachings are better than another. It seems for some reason you would have us believe otherwise Please understand that the members of this list are quite well informed with Knowledge from the Siva Puran and Srimaddevibhagavat however they are also able to think for themselves, express themselves freely and they understand the Upa Guru Principle I commend you on your ability to quote so easily from the Holy Books and the works of others to explain yourself as this shows great dedication and purpose. We also look forward to the time in your personal growth when you will be able to express yourself with your own personal views Wishing you and Family the Best of Health Happiness Prosperity Good Fortune and Success Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum Dhanyavaad Cha Pranams Mitra S R DharmaDeva Arya sk purushotham nil <skpuru <> Wednesday, April 30, 2003 5:16 AM shree Yantra >Reactions are as expected.People speak as though our >great Indian Maharshi's did not have knowledge or had >totally irrational thinking while framing rules for >worshiip.When people are writing ton loads of about >their half baked knowledge,they should remember that >they are denigrating the values and principles for >which our great ancestors stood for.
