What a rude bunch we are! [25,000 Messages!]

[Guest guest]

We have a winner ... I guess? Dennis gets a lovely item of his choice

at the Shakti Sadhana shop. Congrats, Dennis! Send your choice and

address offline and we'll get it shipped off to you. ;-)

 

For the rest of us, a choice between Moët & Chandon madhya and the

Balvenie single-malt soma. No hate mail please, I'm only joking

(unless I'm not) ...

 

What can I say but thank you to Nora and Kochu and MSBauju and Adwaith

-- and most of all to all members of SS past and present, who, using

both positive and negative motivational techniques, helped forge what

we have become (whether you consider that good or bad) and, by

extension, whatever it is that we may become.

 

Whatever strength we may have as a group is due, I believe, largely to

the fact that no one here is in it for themselves, for personal gain

or glorification -- we may disagree and argue at times, but I truly

believe that almost every "regular" here at SS is in it primarily if

not solely for DEVI.

 

As long as that remains true, this remains worth doing, whatever the

hell it is ;-)

25,000 !!!! We've upgrade eventually !!

 

But the real honour to go to DEVI herself. See the topic of

Discussion : Shri Mataji Nirmala DEVI.

 

RAjA Kulasekhara [10th century AD] :"It is the wine which, those who

take, get awareness and those who do not partake of it becomes

deluded". She is MadirA. She is the wine that heightens awareness [

BSH 60 ]
