I can sympathise with you. Yes, the list can be confusing to a new

entrant. There are so many threads being pursued. Let me offer a few

suggestions and try to guide.

 

Everything depends on what you know already and what you want to

achieve. Without acquainting myself about these I am writing this. So

my suggestions below may not all apply to you. Please take what

appeals to you.

 

This list is now more than seven years old and so much water has

flown under the bridge. If you are a beginner in advaita, you may

have to familiarise yourself with some fundamentals -- both jargon

and content. Our present chief has started a marathon project of

defining fundamental words and giving introductory lessons through

the pen of several expedrts on this list. These are available in the

files section under the heading Advaita for the novice. Remember,

the project has started only on 1st January 2007 and so there is a

long way to go.

 

Go to

advaitin

and pick up Advaita for the novice-2007

 

An alternative for a beginner would be to go to

http://www.advaitin.net/Advaitin%20Discussions.htm

where various discussion topics and articles are listed. Choose what

you think interests you. If you are a beginner you may want to begin

with those that say "For Beginners".

 

In any case, any thread that you pick up, either from the above or

from the Messages section, you will do well to start from the

beginning of the thread rather than jump into the middle of it --

unless of course you are already well acquainted with advaita.

 

Lest this should become too long, I shall stop here. If you have any

specific questions, certainly you are welcome to ask them and several

list members would be willing and ready to respond.

 

PraNAms to all newcomers.
