Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hari OM! Dear Balagopal, Please give the full name a GURUVAYUR instead of abbreviation because it makes lot of difference, this is only my humble view. We should not Americanize or SMSise our own Hindu traditions and culture. With Love & OM!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 HARI AUM Dear Shree Krishna Prasad, I fully appreciate your spirit towards our Hindu Traditions. One among the greatness of our tradition is that we imbibe lot many from other cultures, civilsations and territories. Due to this inherent nature in an Indian, he remains rooted to his Faith at all places, times, situations and conditions. The contribution America is making in the field of bettering our physical and material existence is commendable. The electricity we use, the automobile we use, the communications channels like telephone, internet and any number of material things we use daily are all invented and put to use by enterprising persons of that country. Let us make our Faith deeper and enduring and strongly believe that it will not be swept away by the way we handle the external world.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I wonder in what way the abbreviation GVR is affecting when it is specially mentioned GVR forum as the same won't go to any other forum.We use such abbreviations for everso many things.It has nothing to do with Americanising or SMS as always mentioning the full thing GURUVAYUR may not possible as that makes no sense when we are dealing with the group.So a short cut in mentioning GVR is in way going to affect the traditions and it is only a wishful thinking.balagopal ramakrishnan <rbalpal wrote: HARI AUMDear Shree Krishna Prasad,I fully appreciate your spirit towards our HinduTraditions.One among the greatness of our tradition is that weimbibe lot many from other cultures, civilsations andterritories.Due to this inherent nature in an Indian, he remainsrooted to his Faith at all places, times, situationsand conditions.The contribution America is making in the field ofbettering our physical and material existence iscommendable.
