Dear sriram,

 

Nice to know the contents. These devine texts should never be copyright

protected, because if one is really interested to care and share the knowledge -

spiritual in fact - it should be made available to everyone. Your spirit in

offering the contents for personal use is good, but why you want to prevent that

to be spread all over the world to all those interested.

Regards,

Dear sangaranarayan,

 

Namaste.

 

During the initial stages, my gurunatha thought not to be protect it with copy

rights. But there was one gentleman in Hyderabad who used to take the

manuscripts from my gurunatha got them printed elsewhere and used to put his own

name, sell it in Kashi claiming himself to be the author.

 

So, to curb such malpractices, my guru had to resort to such step.

 

With regards,

sriram.

dEAR SRIRAM,

 

I have put several texts on srivdhya on our website and eventhough I said

copyright they were all copied, exrox taken and sold. Even Giri trading company

stoops to such lowlevel that they sell xerox copies of several publications,

putting their own name or removing authors name. After all we want everyone to

know these texts for benefits and let people enjoy them. if some unscrupulous

element is going to adopt bad means and methods let them have the pleasure.

After all the idea of spreading is achieved directly or indirectly.

That document on ambaa.org was compiled by Murali from Singapore. I will

request him to update it with author and copyright information. It is

better to have the correct information.

 

As you know we have no commercial interest and the documents on

ambaa.orgare available for download for anyone.

Dear all:

 

My thoughts are the same. Why are these things created? For the welfare of the

world. So why restrict? Mantras. I understand. Some are dangerous and should

certainly be restricted. That is also for loka kalyanam.

 

Why should the " I " and " mine " come in? Look at it this way, Shankara and other

sages did not bother about copyright. Copyright is feeding either the purse or

ego. That’s not the intention of the authors.

 

It is true it is unfair to claim as yours what really is somebody else's

creation. But then, is not a flower recognised by its fragrance? Who cares what

soil it grew in?

 

Those who make false claims will be exposed sooner or later.

 

I may also point out that it is my opinion that the expression rahasya, ati

rahasya, rahasyaatirahasya etc appearing in many works are intended to emphasise

the importance and to give a psychological push to the sadhaka. The reason why

upadesha is to be treated as rahasya etc. is because a siddha guru normally may

give the standard mantra or change it slightly depending on the need of the

shishya. If it is openly revealed someone else will say ahhhhhhhhh that’s not

right!! Look I have the text it says this!!! So your guru was WRONG!!! This will

come as an aakhaata for the shishya causing a shaking of gurubhakti. Similarly,

what you hold secret is very precious psychologically. It is that which gives

the power. These, IMHO are “some” of the reasons for the secrecy.

 

One of the requirements of upasana is to increase the viveka and discernment.

So blindly saying this or that is “secret” is not enough. One must be able to

say WHY something is secret. If you do not know the reason, try to find the

reason before saying it is “secret”. Otherwise it will be like the shraddha and

cat. A family had a cat so the head used to put it under a vessal during

shraddhas so that it will not disturb. Later he and the cat died. The son used

to go find a cat, bring it put it under a pot before shraddha because his father

used to do it. Without knowing why.

 

My two cents.
