....I have a suggestion for the DeviMandir group. I am not sure if you

are already doing this or not (you might very well be, I just don't

know), but I think it will be worthwhile to compile all the Q/A right

from the first one and choose and edit and publish a book of "Q/A over

the Internet" or something like that.While the daily Q/A is very

helpful and inspiring, a condensed book will also be invaluable...

Dear manoj ~ I'm sure you must have heard the phrase, "an idea whose

time has come." We are on the same wavelength. I am the Mr. Monk of

saving gems from the digest. On my personal filing cabinet (pfc), I

have a number of categories under which I save wisdom gems from the

digest: Swami Says Q & A, Shree Maa Says, From Swami and Shree Maa,

Prayers/Poems (many of these are original), Swami Says (a general

category :::grin::, Group Answers to Questions Asked by Swamiji,

Group Answers to Questions Asked by Maa, Stories of Shree Maa &

Swamiji, Others (from the digest) Say, Swami on Prayer ... and a few

other categories where I tuck nuggets gleaned from the group. And

since I have been here only a short time compared to some others, I'm

sure that there are many similar files on various and sundry

computers. : )

 

So, then the questions I think of are:

Is putting together a booklet like this something Shree Maa and Swamiji would support?

If yes, what is the most efficient way to gather all the gems of

wisdom (chapters could be categories, similar to some I've mentioned

above)?

Who will gather all the gems together?

How will the book or booklet be published (by whom and how funded)?

Is this type of booklet something Shree Maa and Swamiji would carry in

the bookstore? (And remember our vigorous discussion of different ways

of serving the Gurus, one being money. If the digest members could

cover the initial costs, once the book(let) is for sale in Shree

Maa's and Swamiji's bookstore, all the proceeds from the sales could

go back to support of the Mandir.

 

I thank you for bringing this up manoj, because it has been on my mind

for quite awhile. Oh yes, and one other question? Who would pose all

of this to Shree Maa and Swamiji?

(Nanda? Parvati?)

 

I'd buy one in a heartbeat. : )

 

It will be interesting to see where this leads. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
