Dear Bhagavathas:

 

I was hoping the chapter on " Thaniyan " e-mail by

Sri Anand was closed sometime back. Unfortunately,

it is not going away. Some are urging members to leave

Sri Malolan Net and others are sending e-mails attacking

Sri Malolan Net. Some of you may have received such

e-mails. This is to put the matter in perspective

for all the members.

 

1. Sri Anand already apologized for the offense caused.

2. adiyEn wrote a detailed personal e-mail to Sri

Velukkudi Swami about this matter, and,

3. adiyEn exchanged several e-mails in private with

a well known Thenacharya follower to arrive at some

mutually acceptable resolution.

 

In spite of all these efforts, e-mails have been sent

to several members of Sri Malolan Net criticizing

Sri Malolan Net as a breeding ground of misinformation

and apacharam. This is most regrettable.

 

All our members know very well that membership into

Sri Malolan Net is restricted. However, once admitted

we would trust the judgement of our members and we

do not monitor the posts. Therefore, Sri Malolan Net

has remained unmoderated in the most part, and hopefully,

will continue to be so in the future. Members are free

to post what they want. If some offending posts appear

we can only take action in retrospect. In this particular

instance Sri Anand has already apologized. No action

is warranted at this juncture against Sri Anand. Yet,

Sri Anand's original e-mail is used as an opportunity

to attack the entire Sri Malolan Net. No distinction has

been made between a post by a member, and the entire

forum. The fact that Sri Anand has already apologized

for his post did not make any difference.

 

I request the members of Sri Malolan Net to decide what

is truth and what is not.

 

Before I close I would like to request members to,

(i) continue to post incisive articles about our Sampradayam,

(ii) make sure the views you express are supported by our

acharyas and that you can defend them in any open forum,

(iii) not hesitate to write about sensitive and controversial

topics, but do so in a sensitive way,

(iv) not criticize views of other sampradaya that glorify their

acharyas, and,

(v) not forward Sri Malolan Net mails to other lists.

 

We request the members to express their views about the

policies of Sri Malolan Net. Please send your comments

to me or post them in the net. Please remember, we want

to maintain the uniqueness of this forum, otherwise there is

no reason for Sri Malolan Net to exist.
