Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Prafulla, This is a wonderful idea! My best wishes for a very successful jyotish portal. Your idea of separating the reading areas from discussion areas is a very good one. I have seen a few ancient and recent ones with that kind of structure. There is a lot of interest in readers about getting a proper reading and many realize that astrologers are humans too and have different motivations for the types of energy exchange possible. Some may take the dharmic-karmic payment, others may prefer more tangible currency! Having each astrologer decide how best his or her needs are met is the right way to proceed. This way, those who want to do the practice or focus on readings do not have to describe the process which is always longer than writing out a reading. And no matter how well described, the description is never complete, or comprehensive and can potentially lead to arguments and discrepancies. In fact oftentimes, such descriptions and discussions are futile because an astrological reading can be explained in many ways. It is the reason why different systems and ayanamshas can coexist so effectively. This used to bother me a lot in my younger days, but not anymore! But this is one pudding that must be tasted personally, or it would not make sense to some or perhaps many.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Dear Prafulla, I always felt (knew?) in my heart that jyotish could only benefit from someone with real management experience! Tbere have been glimpses of hope in the past decade or two! May (our/my) prayers get answered in this reality! We are behind you -- all 82.5%! I am realistic as you know, and I observe past trends!!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 The newage forums on Compuserve back in early 90s were built on that principle and survived and flourished for at least ten years. They still exist but maybe with less traffic and interaction, overall. Do the best you can and let Kali-Awatar look after the rest of the details! IT is here, as you know I am sure!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 dear prafullaji while giving my best wishes and blessings for your new web ashram for the jyotishis, kindly clarify the following: 1. will you remove a highly contributing member first and then ask for opinion. 2. will you say 100 good posts would be erased by one bad post and give capital punishment for that one bad deed, nay, declare it as a rule that in future also you would continue to punish severely for a single bad deed completely ignore all other 99 good deeds as a law. 3. will you show your authority first and then show that you are kind as well. 4. will you allow some astrolgoers on a permanent basis whose only cut and paste message in all messages is advertsiement about their website even when they have given zero contributions. 5. will you allow off the cuff oneline predictions without any astro reasoning. 6. will you find fault with querents and information seekers if they want more information or astro reasoning. 7. will you brand all other astrologers having no capaicty to match you and ridicule sir B.V.Raman and their followers having limited knowledge. If the answer is NO to all the above, i give you my wholehearted support and god bless you, for you would not be behaving like a biased dictator. the above queries are hypothetical in nature for better understanding of your future group and in no way attribute them as practices of yours. by the way, even at midnight yesterday mr.prashant kumar's ban was not removed and he was not able to either see the messages or post the messages. he was trying to post readings of the querents yesterday midnight also. hope tanvirji sneaks in some time from his busiest schedule to press the removal button. till then do not think that mr.kumar is not coming to the group or he is not willing to contribute. with best wishes pandit arjun , "crystal pages" <jyotish_vani wrote: > > The newage forums on Compuserve back in early 90s were built on that > principle and survived and flourished for at least ten years.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Dear Pandit Arjun ji You have raised very valid questions and I must confess that, these factors have led me to prepond the entire portal idea. Let me clarify you my personal opinions- > 1. will you remove a highly contributing member first and then ask > for opinion. No way. Firstly the forum section will be moderated by modertaor (from members only - opted by mutual consents for each category of forum) and always, the member will be asked to explain the circumstances, followed by warning if required; and if still beyond control - then respective moderator decides. > 2. will you say 100 good posts would be erased by one bad post and > give capital punishment for that one bad deed, nay, declare it as a > rule that in future also you would continue to punish severely for a > single bad deed completely ignore all other 99 good deeds as a law. No way. The astrologer's experience / knowledge and participation will have to be given due weightage. > 3. will you show your authority first and then show that you are > kind as well. Sir, No authority from me. It will be strictly managed by participating memebers (including contents). I will have no role, except facilitating technology and web space. Even when, i participate - will be like any other astrologer, administratively monitored by respective moderator. > 4. will you allow some astrolgoers on a permanent basis whose only > cut and paste message in all messages is advertsiement about their > website even when they have given zero contributions. I will provide a seperate section for astrologer's directory (city wise) and their profile details. Let them seek commercial business. It is ok with me. and This can be backed by seperate classified section. I want fellow astrologers to be earning. On forums, the signature related rules will be decided by respective moderator (I do not want to have any role). > 5. will you allow off the cuff oneline predictions without any astro > reasoning. On forum (where serious discussions must take place), will be with details etc. For private reading requests can have readings directly by astrologer to querents, in their own way. > 6. will you find fault with querents and information seekers if they > want more information or astro reasoning. No way; I explained it above. > 7. will you brand all other astrologers having no capaicty to match > you and ridicule sir B.V.Raman and their followers having limited > knowledge. All these are great names and have contribution to astrological community. I will hate to redicule anyone for that matter (even the local and relatively unknown astrologer). > > the above queries are hypothetical in nature for better > understanding of your future group and in no way attribute them as > practices of yours. I really appreciate your guide notes and I take opportunity to clarify once again that it will be managed by experienced astrologer for each forum. I will like to step out from being non playing captain. I hope, i could clarify your apprehensions. > > by the way, even at midnight yesterday mr.prashant kumar's ban was > not removed and he was not able to either see the messages or post > the messages. he was trying to post readings of the querents > yesterday midnight also. hope tanvirji sneaks in some time from his > busiest schedule to press the removal button. till then do not > think that mr.kumar is not coming to the group or he is not willing > to contribute.
