Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Friends, Lately, I have noticed that a new phrase " mAdhva extremist " has been in vogue on this list. I am not sure what exactly that means, but reminds one of labels that the western media is so fond of using, such as " the Hindu fundamentalist BJP " ,etc. Constant exposure to the western media perhaps rubs off on us. But, it seems somewhat unfair to attach labels to people we have never met, based only on an e-mail or two. Exchange of ideas can take place without acrimony, and should happen among people who aspire to climb spiritual steps. I pray to Shri Parthasarathy to reign in our fingers when we sit in front of keyboards. Regards.. Mukund Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Friends, I believe that the old adage - " give a Dog a bad name when hanging him " is appropriate. I find that use of extreme language is usually an indication of unsureness and trouble with own conscience. I think it is best we stick to the time honoured values of courtesy, respect for other opinions (when properly expressed with authorities being supplied where necessary), and above all a sense of openmindedness and intellectual integrity. I am of the firm opinion that no devotee of Acharya Madhva can be any thing other than the above, if he is a true devotee. NAPSRao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
