Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 We must thank Vicki, because she has posted in on her list. I only have forwarded. This Upanishad's are indeed of great beauty and insight. Thank you Vicki! Gabriele , Harsha <harshaimtm> wrote: > Beautiful Gabriele. Thanks for sharing.

This Upanishad's are indeed of great beauty and insight. Thank you Vicki! Gabriele Well, thank you both. Sri Easwaren's translations of the Gita and the Upanishads are so beautiful. He has also translated the Dhammapada. There are also tapes available from Nilgiri press of him reading from various scriptures--they are lovely, he has such a beautiful, peaceful, resonant voice. As some of you might know, he was the spiritual leader of the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation in Tomales, CA, and died two years ago after some long struggles with his health. He was around 80 years old. I love to think of him, and although I never met him, I miss him very much. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Thank you, Vicki, for the invitation below and also for the beautiful Easwaren article. It has given a deep center to this day. Jill >>> viorica 01/27/02 06:33 AM >>> hi , all lovers of the Upanishads are welcome to join MillionPaths ; i am in love with them and i'll be posting accordingly on MP list; the list is open but quiet , truth of Ramana Maharshi's teachings & Upanishads is fully accepted ; not open to intellectual debates or controverses about the nature of reality. Jill, i'll forward one of Eknath Easwaran's articles, i am almost sure you'll like it , and maybe others too, vicki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Yes, dear Vicki, I also like your selections very much and wonder how you manage all this besides children, your job and ... Yours and my postings have become some good addition, I think. The only thing I am not so happy with my own postings is the fact that I mostly post the same to various lists. This is not very original, but I really don't know how to manage it otherwise. When I joined the first list (Sri Arunachala) some months ago (by pure chance) I thought being able to restrict myself and only post there - but now it is otherwise. I also could then not imagine receiving such a lot of mails. That is a problem for me up to now, because normally for me I feel one quote or story is more than enough for a day to move with. The more I read the less stays with me. But at the same time I am fascinated of the variety of the many messages and also the different backgrounds people have. I have not yet found the right balance for myself. Very often I think that I am too busy and should be more quiet. (There were weeks I had put a slip of paper on my computer: "restriction!") But it didn't work! In contrary(LOL)! But there may also come a time I have to be more quiet again. How do you others deal with the flood of postings?
