Welcome Shawn and Tina.

 

Harsha

[Guest guest]

Thank You for this opportunity to journey together, at least for a short

while.

 

A little background, if you do not mind, for you alone. I do not wish to

disturb others

in any way, and for whatever reason, experience tells me this is often the

case.

 

I have been a student of both world religion and philosophy for as long as I

can

remember- from at least the young age of eleven or twelve.

 

In my youth, questions about the nature of religion on a cosmic scale, that

is

how our perspectives relate to the rest of the universe, known and unknown-

such questions as this, found me outside the bounds of Christian Organized

Religions.

 

Initially my studies were on an intellectual level- this having changed only

upon

my interactions with American Sufi's, and Pir Vilayat Inayat Kahn.

 

I was initiated by him in the late winter of 1982 in Northern Florida.

 

Circumstance soon found me at his premier community, The Abode of The

Message, in upstate New York.

>From there I found myself, after a year, at Bernard Tetsugen Glassman

Sensei's

Greyston Seminary on a path that led further still to The Kaghu Theg Chen

Ling

Tibetan Community in Hawaii.

 

Soon I was to return to the mainland, only after another visit from Pir

Vilayat.

 

After some time of all but aimless wandering I again found myself among the

Sufi's and took hand with the late Alexander P. Hixon, Jr. Ph.D., Columbia,

Philosophy and World Religion.

 

I took hand with Lex, not only as a Sufi Sheikh, but received initiation in

The

Ramakrishna Order, as well as continuing my studies in the Soto-Renzei

Zen / Chan Tradition, and additional Tibetan Lineages.

 

I am, based on inclination and experience, a Non-Dualist.

 

No matter through which door, window or gateway I enter, I always find

myself in but one space.

 

This however tends to make others uncomfortable.

 

I belong to all of these Schools or Traditions, and none at all.

 

Whatever the end result, I look forward once again to this journey with you.

 

With Love and Affection,

 

 

Eric

[ a.k.a. Ahmed, Siva et al ]

Dear Eric,

 

I'm glad you have joined up here. I've long been interested in Lex Hixon

though from a distance and through his books. I had the notion of going to

New York to meet him but then I heard he had passed away. His book on

Ramakrishna is spiritual manna. Again, good to see you here and I'm looking

forward to your perspectives.

Hello, Jason. With your

post and the recent ones

from Rachel regarding

Hinduism and the process of

conversion, perhaps a few

points need to be brought

up:

 

Hinduism is a religious

tradition of many variants,

and the Advaita Vedanta of

Shankara, Ramana Maharshi,

et al is only one of them.

One does not need to be a

Hindu or to give up one's

nominal Christianity to

explore the truth of the

great non-dual revelation,

which is entirely universal

and no respecter of formal

religious affiliation(s).

Many of us regard Jesus

(especially as depicted in

such non-canonical tomes

as The Gospel Of Thomas) as

an important non-dual voice,

no less resonant than those

emerging from the Hindu

contex, others have come to

the non-dual via such

distinctly non-Hindu

pointings as those of Lao

Tzu, Buddha, and Rumi.

 

That said, satsangh may well

be the perfect venue for

exploring the "why" of the

process of formal religious

conversion before looking to

the "how," which is a mere

technicality. As far as this

writer is concerned, the

moment you feel yourself to

be Hindu I'll take your word

for it, and if you feel

yourself free of your

inherited Christian identity,

that too is accepted without

condition. Welcome, Jason!

Re: Welcome to

Hello,

My name is Jason. I am a Christian who is very interested in Hinduism.

I think that if there were a temple here to take me through the process

of conversion I might become one.

 

Harsha: Hi Jason. Welcome to the list. I thought Bruceji expressed well our

point of view. Religion is man made but the Divinity is natural and inherent

in all and expressed through many different religions.. We do not focus here

on any particular religion much although we are happy to discuss any

religion. This is a Satsangha, a fellowship where people discuss, exchange,

and express ideas on spirituality and relate their experiences through prose

or poetry. It is a group of gentle and friendly people. People belonging to

all types of religions and traditions are members of this list. While your

interest in Hinduism is appreciated, no one is really interested in

converting anyone to anything here. If you are interested in Hinduism (or

Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, Jainism, etc.), there is a lot of good

material available at your local library, and there are some good web sites

I am sure. There are also courses offered in colleges on many different

religions and philosophies. Two of the great Hindu scriptures are the

Upanishads and the Bhagvad Gita. There are many more. Of course great

teachers and scriptures exist in every religion and no religion has a

monopoly on the Truth. Sometimes, we focus here on the common elements of

all religions such as inclusive awareness of our existence and how it

manifests outwardly as a life that encompasses love, kindness, compassion,

and embracing all living beings.

[Guest guest]

Please take me off the list.

 

Thank you.

Hi.

 

I translate stuff on Dzogchen and Mahamudra and - very occasionally -

Ch'an, as well as alchelical texts from the Old and classical French and am

also fairly well versed in certain aspects of Chinese alchemy.

I've also studied Kabalah from several points of view as well as looking

into Sufism, and have a fairly thorough knowledge of Hermetic and Gnostic

litterature.

I am pretty much au fait with the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and

those of the Kaula and Nath Siddhas.

I'm a musician and composer, also a more-or-less poet, and I teach English

to keep body and soul together and t'ai chi ch'uan and t'ai chi jian when

and as the need arises.

Was Rainbo suggested I have a look round. Hope I'm not intruding.

If Rainbo suggested that you look around Mike, then you just look around.

What Rainbo says here is the law!

What are the the Kaula and Nath Siddhas?

Thank you Harsha...

Permit me to introduce myself...I am a longtime meditator and seeker. I

have been on the path in one way or another for the past 24 years, since I

was nineteen.

Like many of my generation, I have explored many ways, and the connecting

thread that weaves throughout has always been meditation.

I am grateful to have found this sangha, and I look forward to getting to

know you all.

 

Radiant Blessings,

 

MariJoy

Welcome to

 

 

Hello Dear Friends,

 

Welcome to the list. Please take a moment to review this message.

 

In the classical Yogic and Tantric paths as well as in the nondual tradition

of

Advaita Vedanta, Satsangh is considered important for spiritual aspirants.

Ramana Maharshi, the Great Jnani Sage of Arunachala, often said that

Satsangh

leads to Self-Realization. My Teacher, Sri Chitrabhanu Ji, who visited the

Sage

Ramana in his teen years, has said that the company of saints even for a

short

time provides a great impetus for spiritual development. Ramakrishna

Paramhansa,

Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, and Swami Dayananda

Sarswati

were some of the early influences on my spiritual life as a child growing up

in

India. All of these great spiritual personalities emphasized the power of

Satsangha. Satsangh is a Sanskrit term meaning "The Company of

Truth,(Reality,

Existence, or Self)." We should certainly all keep the company of Truth and

maintain Awareness of our True Nature. In practical terms Satsangha means

Fellowship. Fellowship in this context implies keeping the company of others

who

are on the spiritual path. In Satsangha support is found to stay on the

spiritual path. In Satsangha, good things happen. Insights are gained and

Consciousness is Awakened to Its Own Nature. Here Shakti (Energy) is Aroused

in

a genuine movement towards Its Source (Shiva) to enjoy the Union and

Recognize

It Self as the Self as Pure and Eternal and Complete Self Awareness which is

Self Joyous and Self Existent. This is a gathering of gentle people devoted

to

Self-Awareness, Meditation, and the various practices in Yoga and Tantra.

Some

are deeply rooted in rich spiritual traditions and others have come to the

spiritual awakening on their own or through a diversity of spiritual paths.

 

We take great joy in the company of spiritual seekers, aspirants, teachers,

and masters.

is a place where we have come to experience the Joy of Fellowship. May God

bless all of you with all things

good and beautiful and may you find the Great Peace in Your Own Heart.
