To begin with, I think they'll get over the trauma of being deprived of one

or two texts

 

Secondly, it doesn't seem to me (or anyone else for that matter) to be a

major quantum leap to understand that on Granddisciples we simply don't

promote other gurus' or mathas' books. If you have a problem with that, then

perhaps you would reconsider your membership on such a forum. It's hardly a

big deal, it's really just a simple little rule, but one that is considered

important. As we discussed with Ram Keshava's postings, whether or not

Tripurari Swami's Gita is the best thing since etched rocks or not is

neither here nor there as far as GD is concerned: it simply doesn't fit

within the conference boundaries. I don't know what could be clearer,

frankly.

"Treatment" of Ram Keshava? Again, you're trying to implant the impression

that there is a controversy where there is none, which seems to be a habit.

My objection - and that of several other members - to some of his postings

doesn't qualify as maltreatment, but you also seem to have your wires

crossed about what constitutes maltreatment, so that's another belaboured

point....

 

As for Mandala, you seem to be incredibly excited about my job. But as usual

you're uninformed. It's Mandala Publishing, and I'm Operations Manager. And

it's really no secret. Forgive me for not writing and telling you as soon as

I landed the job - what an oversight on my part I didn't think you'd care

as much as you do. I'm touched.
