Weekly Definitions

[Guest guest]

As members may have noticed, there have not been very many of these in

the past few months! It would be nice if we could continue with these

as the year end approaches. There are still many basic terms that

would benefit from a short description (just a few paragraphs is all

that is required). Some key ones that are relevant to recent

discussions and which have not yet been defined are: gross, subtle and

causal bodies; lIlA; nirguNa-saguNa; paramArtha-vyavahAra; states of

consciousness; turIya. Existing definitions may be seen at

http://www.advaita.org.uk/discourses/definitions/definitions.htm or

downloaded from the files section of the group and the excel file

listing suggested definitions can also be downloaded.

 

There are many members able to help here - don't leave all the work to

the moderators! In particular, those who have been involved in recent

discussions should volunteer for the ones listed above.

 

Part XXVIII of Dr. Sadananda's 'Introduction to Vedanta' - 'The

Paradox of Space and Time' has just been uploaded -
