To Shakti Sadhana, From ACS Sundari, Romania

[Guest guest]

Received here today in SS email :

 

 

Hello. My name is Eduard Diaconu and I am from a town called Cluj

Napoca, in Romania. Sailing on the Internet these days, we have

found a link to your website. Now, I must say that we were truly

amazed by your vision over the human spirit, and by your efforts

to make a difference.

 

I write you in the name of a small group of students living here. We

are some kind of a research and study group, trying to evolve our

spirit, mind, and body through yoga, and to maintain a high state of

awareness regarding the reality which surrounds us. Sadly, here in

Romania it is almost impossible to do such a thing, especially when

you use methods which are generally considered as "unorthodox"

(that's because our main path has an oriental source). Most of the

people in our country have a pretty narrow vision regarding

spirituality, and anything which they can not understand, they

classified it as some kind of "heresy" and never look at it again;

they are refractory and rigid. Fortunately, there are also open-

minded people. Their number is small and their struggle is big, but

the fight for freedom will never

cease.

 

Anyway, after a long endeavour, we have succeeded to open a public

library. We had the chance to have on our side a town councillor,

and with some help from him, we have officialised our group as a

Non-Governmental Association. Then, to open this library was

relatively easy. Though, we still have some minor problems in

finding a proper location for it. Right now, the library is located

in a pretty old building, but we hope that we will find a more proper

location in short time. Well, we have just started this "adventure"

with the library (a year ago, nobody knew about us), and those small

problems are almost inevitable. But what was really important was

done.

At the moment, our patrimony consist in approximately six hundred

books and almost two hundred magazines, plus some video tapes and

music on CD-s and audio tapes. The subjects of all those are centred

on oriental spiritual traditions and philosophy, but we also have

books focused on western spiritual paths. And, even if the vast

majority of our books are in English, there are days when we have

more than 10 visitors. People are really interested, especially in

eastern traditions.

We also have a website. It's small and pretty unsophisticated, but,

for now, it's all we can doregarding this issue. Here is the address:

www.sundari.way2web.ro

 

Once again, we must say that we are very glad to come across your

website. You are doing a great job. And so, if you don't mind to

exchange a thought or two with us from time to time, please give us

a sign.

 

Our very best wishes,

Eduard & friends.

[Guest guest]

A small group of people, who appreciate and love the oriental

culture, and who decided in 1993 to found a Cultural Association,

with the purpose to bring a veritable contribution in consolidating

the intercultural relationships between the Orient and Romania.

Headquarters is located in Cluj Napoca, a town of 340,000

inhabitants, situated to the north-west of Bucharest.

 

 

 

 

Dear Mrs.NMadasamy

 

Thank you so much for your reply. We are living in a time of global

transformation; and though our numbers may seem small in terms of

membership or interest, we can see that more and more people arround

us are drawn by the desire to find inner peace, freedom, and

enlightenment. With our library, we are doing all we can to promote

an interest in personal growth and to provide a refuge for fellow

seekers. And we will continue our spiritual endeavour, at no matter

what costs.

But, our material situation isn't that positive as our desire to go

further and higher. Unfortunately, we barely have enough money to

pay for the rent, and we can't afford to buy other books or any other

materials. We have, of course, many good works on our library

shelves, but our readers tend now to seek further and deeper into

oriental teachings. So, if we don't dare too much, can we hope that

you might know somebody who has some used or deteriorated books which

he/she doesn't need anymore? And, if you do, could you tell them

about us, so that maybe they would mail us something? We hope that,

with some support, our chances to explore more deeply the spiritual

reality would grow, and that it would bring inspiration and hope for

many others who are yet to come into our sphere of awareness.

 

Once again, thank you very much for replying us, and, if there is

anything we can do for you from here, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Our very best wishes,

Eduard & friends.
