Introduction(To NMadasamy)

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

You are being too modest to say u r not a scholar. You have lalitha sahasranamam and Bhavani namasahasram with commentaries by eminent persons. Going through these alone makes one a scholar. What is more, you have a rare insight into things which comes through in your communications when you join an issue with terse comments. I don't know you cannot differentiate you from Eve. (Adaption of the phrase 'not to know one from Adam'). So this not flattery. Erudition is of no avail in matters of faith. Adisankara says, 'samprapte sannihite kale nahi nahi rakshati dukrinjkarane'. Freely translated, it means at the hour of need, grammar doesn't come to your aid. And this is said by Sankara who among the greatest of scholars. We make our claim to erudition by studying his works.

Let me introduce myself to you : I am the comoderator and the

webmaster of Shakti Sadhana Org. Im neither a scholar nor a poet.

Just a housewife trying to make herself useful and stay out of

trouble. My husband sigh in relieve, thanking Devi that I rather

spend the time infront of the computer doing all this instead of

the TV watching the Drama serial. My dark secret have been revealed

by Ganpra. I dont know how he knows that I collect comic book.. yes!

I have no choice but to confess it publicly. My favourite is [ as I

am very much Asian at heart] is The Lat series : Lots of Lat, Lat

the Kampung Boy etc.. I have send 3 copies to Devi Bhakta too. He

said after his 7yrs old son read the cartoon, now he wants to run

around the house naked.

life force, a kinetic energy which runs through desire to bliss. She

is in the connection when the lingam rises, when the breath

hesitates, when the heart leaps to the throat, when the smile first

begins to appear, and when thoughts fade away in a tacit awareness

of peace and unity.

You see RJ we are not here to correct anybody. We never admit

ourselves as being the authority in Shakti Sadhana. You are right in

whatever you believe in, how can we say you are wrong. We are here

to share and exchange information. Some comes to seek guidance. We

do not give guidance. We just point the way : this is where u can

find such and such. That is all.
