Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hello Im new to this, so I cant answer your question; however, I do know who Nachiketas is because I have worked with and studied that Upanishad for years - so of course I am curious as to how you decided to take the name? I have a school of yoga and use Dialogue with Death as a 2nd year study for the 4 year teacher training program. The center of my interest is Awareness and I recently sponsored Tony Parsons here from England whose book As It Is was published here last year.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hi Naciketas, I've always wondered also why this mail list is so quiet. Maybe it's because nobody plays the role of host on this list. Maybe there has to be a vivid visible personality on the list to begin with, like a seed crystal, for conversation to crystalize around. Or maybe it's because the website's subject matter isn't specific. For every topic we cover, there's a mail list someplace else that's devoted more specifically to that topic. For example, we print articles about Advaita, but if you want to talk about Advaita, you're more likely to hang out on a list that's devoted purely to Advaita. Regards, and welcome, Rob - " Naciketas Naciketas " <naciketas77 <Realization > Thursday, April 19, 2001 6:22 PM Hello > Hello, > > Excuse me but where is everybody? > Why are so few messages here? > > Thank-you and god bless. > _______________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com > > > ..........INFORMATION ABOUT THIS LIST.......... > > Email addresses: > Post message: Realization > Un: Realization- > Our web address: http://www.realization.org > > By sending a message to this list, you are giving > permission to have it reproduced as a letter on > http://www.realization.org > ................................................ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hi Margit, Ah, just what I've been looking for, an expert on the Katha Upanishad! Here's a question you might be able to help me with. For a while I've been keeping my eye open for early mentions of vichara... self-enquiry... in the old texts. (Planning eventually to write an article on the history of self-enquiry.) One thing that has caught my eye is the second Valli of the Katha, particularly verse 12: " The wise who, by means of meditation on his Self, recognizes the ancient, who is difficult to be seen, who has entered into the dark, who is hidden in the cave, who dwells in the abyss, as God, he indeed leaves joy and sorrow far behind. " What do you think? Does this remind you of Ramana Maharshi or am I grasping at straws?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Hello Margit, Yes, you are right. I think I am Naciketas for the same reason that you are Shiva. Naciketas is my hero since I read the Upanishad. He has very big opportunity. He can talk to King of the Dead, can have anything -- anything! But he takes only wisdom! And remembers to make happiness with his daddy! What a good boy! And why? Because he looks long range. You might say that -- he is the big-picture boy! Sees the big picture! A life-time seems short when you watch what comes next!!! But that is only half the story. That is the explanation for my first name. The reason my second name is also Naciketas is -- made me enter two names and my imagination is exhausted! What is your yoga school? It seems to be a very serious high-power school with four-year teacher training! God-bless and indifference to all wishes but may they come true anyway! Om shanti shanti shanti! Peace and peace and peace! N.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Good day! I am so happy to enter your conversation. My final project for my master's degree centered on Patanjali's yoga sutras, and I have practiced yoga (in a simple form, because of physical limitations) for many years. I welcome you to take a look at the listing for my novel, " White Tiger, Green Dragon, " at amazon.com (also on bn.com, but amazon has a reader review :-) and hope you will recommend it to your friends. I look forward to learning from you about the paths of yoga and advaita vedanta, and the various schools of realization.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Dear Simone: Thank you for letting me know of your book. I love books and one of my joys is that I have a library in which they all spill over together. If you did your Master's, or part of it, on the Sutras, I wonder if you studied any of Pandit Usharbudh Arya's work on the Sutras (he is now known as Swami Veda Bharati)? He and I are good friends, and he stayed with us in the 90's and did many lectures on the Sutras - and one year on the Katha Upanishad. He lives mostly in Rishikesh, but does come here fairly often. He is a lovely being, lively and with a great sense of humor, yet I understand he is a fine scholar and much respected in India and elsewhere. I am happy that you enjoy doing yoga for it is the sweetness of the energy that is so inviting, and I am glad you have accepted the invitaton.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 jDear Nachiketas: I think what was so lovely about Nachiketas is that for all that he knew his father had acted in anger, he also knew that his father would suffer aas a result of his reactiveness, and most of all he wanted to take away that suffering from him first. Howcould Yama not recognize who was before him? Margit - <naciketas77 <Realization > Friday, April 20, 2001 8:15 AM Re: Hello > Hello Margit, > > Yes, you are right.
