SWCRC update #3

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Ram Jai Jai Ram Om

 

Namaste on this Mahananda Navami

 

Here's an update on the SJVC Western Class being scheduled. [ please read the total email,ok]

This update reviews some basic info, and who has responded back to the 4 or 5 questions asked.

 

1. SWCRC = Sjvc West Coast Residence Course

2. To date we have 18 scheduled to attend. ( we have also asked several SJVC

Gurus to also attend!)

3. What is now being worked is timing ( muhurta) of the event - Definitely

Summer ( August) we will have some dates shortly.

4. Accommodations - there are 6 to 7 bedrooms - yet Laksmi informs up that the

home can comfortably hold 20+ guests...so , some we will use the "buddy

system" for some bedrooms, and others ( like me) can find comfort with

cots/pads/sleeping bags. All - will

be made as comfortable as possible. IF you require more Space *akasha* and

privacy Laksmi will recommend a few hotels in the area. This then infers you

will need transportation for your trek to/from your hotel.

5. We are responsible for Sanjay's travel fare - we will let you know the cost

here and break it up evenly We will plan as far in advance to get the lowest

fare possible >>>> OR - if anyone a big frequent flyer and willing to

donate miles to buy Sanjay's ticket...this would be a greatly appreciated!

6. Course outline, schedules and working groups are being designed...more to come on this.

a. Duration of the class 3 to 4 days

b. Outline - to be reviewed and approved by Sanjay

c. Working groups - to be formed for add'l practice, discussion, etc. and

will ask the Guru's for their leadership in these working groups.

7. All, it is important that you have read and/or are studying the following to

insure you gain max. benefit from this course. [ as I mentioned before

Reading + Study does not always = comprehension!]BPHSUpadesa Sutras ( US) - by

Here's our apporach:Accommodations being considered: Laksmi devi has been most

kind to open her home to this venue.a. San Francisco areab. Maps will be

providedc. Start date and time - Work in process -

d. If you prefer add'l privacy, hotels in the area will be

suggested…transportation will then be needed. Fooda. Donations for food

maybe $20/day = $80 - $100.00 per studentb. All vegetarian will be servedc.

Those that have Ayurvedic needs - pls bring your on Churna's , etc.d. Ghee will

Sanjay for his recommendation hereb. Study groups - Do you wish to have these?

Focus groups on one area or anther for increaed comprehension.c. Knowledge

level - What do you want to learn so we can forward this to Sanjay and he can

decide on the *level* we are at e.g. Dispositor and their influence, Bhava

Bhavam, Arudha's, Divisional Charts, Yogas, etc. I am of the opinion ( and I

am biased here) that I would greatly benefit with a better understanding of a

methodology for analyzing a chart and insuring the foundation for a

reading…that is:> Analysis. Gather together the facts as a basic

premise;> Interpretation. metaphorical exploration, using symbolism, intuition,

etc.to derive meaning.> Synthesis. Pull the analytical and interpretative

process together to form a whole picture d. Additional Knowledge - Laksmi's

friend does classes/lectures on Bhagavad-Gita and knows it inside andSrimad

Bhagavatam etc and would love to speak if desired.Also , Laksmi might have

someone here who can do an evening Sankrit pronunciation class.Is this of

interest to you? Meditations - for clarity of thought and touching the

transcendent.We will assume most if not all of you are following a program

… if this is not the case, it would be goodto start this over then next

few months. What have I missed? Please advise... Jai Gurudeva,

Here's our apporach:

Accommodations being considered: Laksmi devi has been

most kind to open her home to this venue.

a. San Francisco area

b. Maps will be provided

c. Start date and time - Work in process -

d. If you prefer add'l privacy, hotels in the area

will be suggested…transportation will then be needed.

Food

 

WONDERFUL

per student

 

WITH PLEASURE

Sleeping arrangements

a. Beds for 6 to 7 bedreooms - room for 20+

Knowledge

a. We will ask Sanjay for his recommendation here

b. Study groups - Do you wish to have these? Focus

groups on one area or anther for increaed

comprehension.

 

THAT WOULD BE NICE

 

c. Knowledge level - What do you want to learn so we

can forward this to Sanjay and he can

decide on the *level* we are at e.g. Dispositor and

their influence, Bhava Bhavam, Arudha's, Divisional

Charts, Yogas, etc.

I am of the opinion ( and I am biased here) that I

would greatly benefit with a better understanding of

a methodology for analyzing a chart and insuring the

foundation for a reading…that is:

 

I TOTALLY AGREE

 

> Analysis. Gather together the facts as a basic

premise;

> Interpretation. metaphorical exploration, using

symbolism, intuition, etc.to derive meaning.

> Synthesis. Pull the analytical and interpretative

process together to form a whole picture

d. Additional Knowledge - Laksmi's friend does

classes/lectures on Bhagavad-Gita and knows it inside

and

Srimad Bhagavatam etc and would love to speak if

desired.

 

I WOULD LOVE TO PARTICIPITATE IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT

 

Also , Laksmi might have someone here who can do an

evening Sankrit pronunciation class.

Is this of interest to you?

 

IF TIME PERMITS

 

Meditations - for clarity of thought and touching the

transcendent.

 

A MUST BEFORE ANY STUDY

 

We will assume most if not all of you are following a

program … if this is not the case, it would be good

to start this over then next few months.

What have I missed? Please advise...

 

I WANTED TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF DAYS INVOLVED, AND HOW

THAT WOULD BE SCHEDULED, VERY IMPORTANT SINCE WE NEED

TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

YOU HAVE PLANNED EVERYTHING COMPREHENCIVELY, COULDNT

DO A BETTER JOB. THANKS.
