Guest guest Posted June 21, 1999 Report Share Posted June 21, 1999 The unique and wonderful East-West "fusion" acoustic music group of the '70s, "Shakti," will be giving a concert at Symphony Space in New York City at 8 PM on June 27th under the auspices of The JVC Jazz Festival. Festival information is available by calling 212- 501-1390. For those of you who've forgotten, the original "Shakti" personnel included the dazzling percussionist Zakir Hussain, pioneering fusion guitarist "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin, and the very adventurous Carnatic violinist L.Shankar -- if even one of these virtuousi is involved in the reunion it'll be an extraordinary evening indeed! http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucemrg.htm http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucsong.htm m(_ _)m _ _________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 1999 Report Share Posted June 26, 1999 I received the following letter. At the bottom is an excerpt from this teacher/missionary: > Jerry: Yesterday I submitted Shuddhananda's name to you. Please let me > know if you need more information. I think I put it in the guestbook > section. He is a wonderful teacher, friend, guru (which he denies, of > course)and absolutely the most loving human being I have ever known. > Apart from that, he is a former professor of economics but he gave that > all up to become a Hindu monk. Anyway, let me know if you are interested > in learning more about "Swamiji". By the way, you can see his website at <http://www.flash.net/~jemini/swami.htm> _____________________ Here is the excerpt: "At this moment we are concentrating on taking care of the people so that they can be on their own. This is the need of the hour. There is no education, no proper means to earn money. The deprivation at the physical level is so deep. I would love them to get strength in their bodies first. There are villages that have started temples on their own. I have never told any one of them to have temples. They have come and told me, "Babaji, we want to have a temple. Our village is transformed. It has become such a holy place. So we want to have temples." But mind you, we never went there to teach or preach religion. We went there only with our heart open to give love and give them the understanding that they have the same self-respect and self-dignity as anybody else has in this world. And once they have that, spirituality will blossom out of their hearts." _________ <http://www.nonduality.com> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
