(Not quite) Divide the forum

[Guest guest]

Jay Shri Mataji!

 

Just a suggestion related to this subject. There is another form of discussion

board, called

bbforum, which can improve communication by it's structure. The Yuva Shakti

forum is like this (

www.yuvashakti.com ), the advantage is that subjects are not mixing among

themselves, discussions

are more relaxed and also not all the messages are being sent in everybody's

e-mail box, but only

from the subjects one has contributed to. (This would make also the persons who

are rather shy to

dare and write messages.)

The forum can have different sections, but still remain as a whole. These

section could address

different domains of interest, like: 'Spreading Sahaj', 'Wellcomimg the

newcomers'(for advices and

explanations), 'Enlightened Art', 'Phylosophy and Holly Books', 'Prophecies',

'Sahaj Experiences',

'Sahaj centres in the World', 'Society and Politics', anything..., and anyone

can go to the

subject he is more interested in.

 

The bbforum site is http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo.php , you can see there an

example.

 

Mr. Singh, if you consider that such a forum format would help the development

of discussions on

your site, we here could configurate one for adishakti.org. It is actually quite

simple, we have

just started one in Bucharest.

 

If anyone wants to have a look, our forum is at http://www.sahajayoga.lx.ro/ .

It has the

sections: 'Welcome', 'Stabilising SY', 'Spreding SY', 'Enlightened Culture',

'Yuva Shakti',

'Technical Discussions'. It is intented to be used by stabilised yogis, will not

be open to all

seekers. Now it's still at the beginning, there aren't yet many messages. (In

the 'Sahaj

Experieces' I have posted today the translation from the 'New Age Children'.) We

also have a

section for foreign Yogis who would like to log in and send messages to our

collective: 'Welcoming

Our Guests'. (So, if you feel like saying anything to the Romanian Yogis, you

are most welcome!)

 

 

There are two other simillar but non-Sahaj Forums I've been visiting lately,

because I wanted to

tell there about Sahaja Yoga. They may be more relavant, because they are being

used for some time

and already have many messages. (But put yourselves in a bandhan before opening

the links .)

 

One is: http://lightworker.com/messageboards/ (These people have also sort of

online

meditations,if you check the uper left link. They also have a site about the

Chystal children.)

 

The second is: http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/index.php (This really needs a

bandhan, because

it has all sorts of seeking, but has a good structure: 'Members' Introduction',

'Religion',

'Phylosophy', 'Books' etc.)

 

My very good experience with this second forum was that I gave them a link to

the Self-Realisation

online ( http://www.sahajayoga.org/experienceitnow/default.asp ), and that

subject had more then

1060 visitors, whereas the other subject remained around maximum 200 visitors.

So I believe that

many have used the link to meditate at home, I hadn't expect so many to do that.

And there are

many true seekers there. Also, after I have given them a few links to 'Knowledge

of Reality',

related to Kundalini, the interest in Kundalini has increased; basically many

know about

Kundalini, but are afraid of it, because they find wrong explanations on

Internet, but if one

tells them that she is the mother and is not going to hurt them, some would just

jump into it and

make this experience.

 

Because many subjects are funny, I have selected some nicer ones, if you want to

see how the

discussions develop on this type of forum:

 

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17231 & unwatch=topic

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=151417#151417

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17565 & postdays=0 & postorder=asc\

& & start=0

 

These three are quite nice.

 

I don't know how useful is this information, but Mr. Singh, if you are

interested in such a

format, the yogi who made the Romanian forum can make another one, if it helps.

 

With best Regards, and wishing everyone very good vibrations,

 

Ana
