Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I HAVE BEEN READING POSTS FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH GREAT INTEREST AND PERSONAL BENEFIT. READING ABOUT 'SANKALP' I WAS REMINDED OF WHAT SWAMI SHIVANADA GIRI ( WHOM SADHUS OF RAMAKRISHNA ASHRAM CONSIDERED A REALISED SOUL) TOLD ME SOME 55 YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT IN KARACHI, SIND, NOW IN PAKISTAN. HE SAID, "DO NOT BIND GOD (TO DO THIS OR THAT FOR YOU) RATHER BIND YOURSELF ( THAT I WILL DO THIS)" AND THERE IS WHERE SANKALAP COMES IN! AND THAT, "INSTEAD OF SAYING SO MANY THINGS, IT IS BETTER TO DO SOMETHING AND LET YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK." AND HERE IN VARIOUS POSTS, OUR ACTIONS ARE SPEAKING! THAT IS GREAT. MAY LORD BE PLEASED WITH US ALL.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Chetan, I felt I needed to respond to the beautiful intent of your post. Thank you, and welcome. Just out of curiosity, who was this Shivananda Giri? Was he the Shiva of the Divine Light Society, or the Bengali desciple of Baba Dharam Das? I think they both may have been Saraswati's.
