Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I am pleased to announce to the group that our moderator Sri Ananda Wood has just published a new book: Ways to Truth: A View of the Hindu Tradition. The publisher is D.K. Printworld (P) Ltd. and the book may be ordered from their website at http://www.dkprintworld.com. Most members will be familiar with his writing from his many excellent posts to the group. Many more of his longer essays and his two books 'From the Upanishads' and 'Interpreting the Upanishads' may be downloaded from my website at http://www.advaita.org.uk/discourses/ananda_wood/ananda_wood.htm. Also, his series of essays on the teaching of his guru, Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon may be read at http://www.advaita.org.uk/discourses/atmananda/atmananda1.htm. Sri Ananda describes his new book as follows: " It looks at the Hindu tradition from a philosophical perspective of Advaita enquiry. From this perspective, two broad questions are raised: * One is historical, to ask for a deeper view of history that would allow for the primacy of living speech and interpretation, in our accounts of the past. * And the second is educational, to ask for a deeper view of reasoned investigation. Such an investigation must somehow go completely beyond the use of mechanical instruments, through a reflective examination back into the correctness of our living faculties. Modern communications media (from printing onwards to computers and the net) have of course been very useful to spread information through society; and also to document the administration of institutions that get organized and promoted politically and commercially in the external world. But what about the inner education of living individuals, who each make their own good or bad use of our externally instituted capabilities? That inner education has for long been addressed in old spiritual traditions like Advaita Vedanta. Just what those old traditions mean is now a rather delicate question, as we keep seeing in our Advaitin e-group. " I know that you will all join me in congratulating him and wishing him well with promotions and sales. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 It has been brought to my attention that this message appeared under the thread for 'My wife, Lalitha muni attained Heavenly abode'. I would like to offer my sincere apologies to Sri Jabalimuni (and also join with others in the group in offering my sincere condolences). The reason for this is simple. Whenever I post a new message to the group, I open the most recent message, click on 'Reply' and then change the subject heading and type the new message. I had understood that the act of entering a new subject would begin a new thread. Ah well, I have only been using the Internet and joining in discussion groups for about 13 years; it does take a little time to learn these things...
