Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 My family members are regular to read your magazine Kumudam, but I don't. I was surprised to learn that there was an article 'BABA SPEACIAL " which had unwarranted comments on Sri Siva Sankar Baba in a popular magazine like Kumudam. I advised my family members NOT TO BUY any magazine, which passes negative message to the society about Sri Siva Shankar Baba. We (Samratchanites) invite all staff of Kumudam office to visit our places (Neelankarai & Kelambakkam). Badri Sports - sign up for Fantasy Baseball http://sports.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 SHANKARAM SIVA SHANKARAM Dear all, Here's my message to the Editor of the magazine: SHANKARAM SIVA SHANKARAM Dear Sir, My respects to you. I had come across an article on actor Rajinikanth's film `Baba' in your recent edition. I wish to voice my dissent on the comments of an anonymous speaker with respect to Siddha Yogi Shri Siva Shankar Baba. Baba is a selfless social worker tirelessly rendering service to the society and uplifting mankind. With His simple yet powerful weapon of `Love', He has united countless people all over the world – elders, youngsters, people of all races and gender transformed and moulded to perfection, living a life of service to humanity, all for the pure love binding them with the Divine. I have no words to describe the greatness and mercy of Baba - the personification of Truth, Purity and Wisdom. To speak thus of this Godly soul only means that the anonymous speaker has not yet experienced the love and greatness of Baba and the peace and grace that become a part of those associated with the Divine. I beseech you to take this opportunity to visit the Ashram of Shri Siva Shankar Baba with you team of journalists and see the truth for yourself and experience peace within. -Praveena SHANKARAM SIVA SHANKARAM Sangeethaa, please let me know if this message can be sent to the Editor or if you are compiling all letters and sending them together. -Praveena SHANKARAM SIVA SHANKARAM , " ncsangeethaa " <ncsangeethaa> wrote: > Shankaram Siva Shankaram !! > > Dear family > > Just to let you know my mail to Kumudam : > > " Shankaram Siva Shankaram !! > > Dear Thiru.
