Dear Manoj ji, That was beautiful! It cannot have been better! Well presented. :)Love and regards,Sreenadh , Manoj Chandran <chandran_manoj wrote:>> Dear Respected Swarna Ji,> > Thank you for your kind introduction and welcome to our group. As you get familiar with this group, you will realize that discussions usually take one of many forms.> > 1. We might discuss one specific aspect. For example we have been discussing Rahu in different houses. In the recent past we have covered 6th, 11th and now 9th (I might have forgotten one more). When we are in this kind of a mode, discussing specific things, we try to stick to just that discussion. Sreenadh Ji (the owner and one of the moderators of the group) has a good philosophy that unless we thoroughly understand the dictums on its own merit (without considering other aspects) we will never learn those characterisitics thoroughly.> > 2. Some times (since we are all human) even while we are discussing this, we tend to do a detour and some members might put up charts familiar to them and make comments either in accordance with or not in accordance with the said dictum. In those detours, we then get several inputs from members posting their views from a wholistic point of view (just like what you did right now).> > 3. We also enjoy discussing in a third mode where we do complete chart analysis surrounding a certain subject. Even this some times starts of with one combination (like 7th lord in 8th house) and gradually expands into a whole topic. We had a very spirited discussion with several examples of extra-marital affairs recently that thoroughly examined 7th house matters.> > 4. And then we have the fourth mode where we do blind chart quizes where one member puts up a blind chart and many people send in answers to this blind chart and finally the answer comes and we all admire the correct answers and learn from them.> > 5. What we don't do here is encourage whole chart readings, since this is not meant to be a free reading group but more for discussion and learning. There are other groups available to do chart readings.> > 6. Finally we are like a family.. We might fight once in a while, we might even say hurtful words once in a while, but we still all love each other and respect each other, even in the back drop of such difference of opinions. Even some times when posts appear rude or angry it is temporary. It is like a pineapple, may be rough and thorny outside, but it is sweet and chunky inside.> > I have taken the liberty of writing about this group, I hope I did justice.> > Regards,> -Manoj
