have a serious look of it

[Guest guest]

JAI GURUDEV,

 

after fairly going through the recent messages the following are

the...

1)arvind i really appericiate and laud ur new site content

capabilites continue.....

 

2)what all of us understand is that the new site will always serve as

the complementary to the main site(siddhashram.org)

so the new site has to assist the main site and the 2 purposes are

1)dissemminating knwoledge

2)acting as a forum for discussions

 

so we will be assiting the mainsite by providing the archived content,

as the mainsite would have a link to this new site

 

so new topics should be listed with recent few articles in the

mainsite and the archive of it

should be put in new site(all the more info content on the main site

should be handled by this new site)

 

we see the mainsite(siddhasharam.org) the archive consists of only

few magazines which dont have all the info needed to various people

so we have to get as much magazines as possible and put it on archive

and second thing is that archvie is not only magazines its 1)my

experiences with divintiy 2) my meeting with Gurudev and similar

stuff as present in the main site and additon of new categories as

propesed by arvind

 

when u look at the experiences they are really few in the website so

there should be lot more

so i think u all understand the archives depth and breadth

 

so new categories should be compiled and given to Gurudev so that he

can approve as to what can be included and we have to get the content

for already existing categories by looking 1) magazines2)noting down

the experiences of the people by talking to them

 

besides what i see as per ashish is that he told he has 30 MEGS

avilable i think its not at all sufficient for all the

pdf/video/audio stuff

 

so we have to plan long term and try to accumulate money for more

space either by buying resource/renting so the current webisite is

really a temprory solution

 

if we try to register multiple names it becomes messy to update but

its still a good solution if we resources dont permit us

so for longterm needs can any one think of it seriously and give

theri views

i agree that books out of print should be found out and scanned,

and with publications legal issue few essential chapters can be

scanned

so try to find out what are the 600 books and probbaly GURUDHAM would

have info as to what are they and how to get it which books can be

scanned and which cannot and for those cannot what are the chapters

that should be selected only contacting GURUDHAM should solve the

problem

so what we do is to categorise the things that are to be done and

contact Gurudham for further instructions

 

 

 

 

dissemminating knowledge ( i think people are not thinking much on

this , becos before u want to get into sadhana seriously u have to go

thru lot of content and references and that should be free)

Gurudev told to buy magazines cheaply and asked them to distribute

and that to free(GYAN DAAN) and he never told Diksha free , so when

DIksha is given he will do DHAN DAAN

all the audiences will not be willing to pay for the content

initially, so we have to win their trust.

 

so magzines have to be given away for free and people influenced by

the articles would start enquiring as to how to start doing it or

start asking questions as to what is x?y?z?

so all of should understand the pattern first

a)by providing the content we are inviting them to take a deep look

if they are influenced the b)the enquiry process starts as to what is

this and that

1)glossary that can be printed serves and 2) starters faq will help

like the glossary can be pretty picturesqe rather than being just

descriptive

 

so i hope u understand the purpose in the real sense

 

ashish just continue with ur current efforts

 

LUV TO ALL OF U

JAI GURUDEV

Jai Gurudev !!!

 

1. Answers to different questions which a beginner may encounter.

 

2. Yes its important that we archive the old issues of magazine as well as

the books which are out of print.

 

3. in order to keep the list active n we be burning with spiritual fire

why don't we start posting messages regarding Gurudev's life n

knowledge and quotes by him and articles full of his love towards us.

 

4. All the academic qualification, laurels and achievements of Pujya

Gurudev be documented. Rather his life.

 

5. Keep a section on WebPage which states the latest developments in

Science that confirms the existence of spiritual pratices.

 

 

Yes its important that we get the list of 600 books.

 

 

Best Regards,

Anurag

Jai Gurudev

Anuragji has raised some very good points about correlation with

scientific developments (eg. audio research, Mantra therapy, Use of

Hypnotism in surgery etc.). Moroever, we can also find, bring in and

put articles on Pujya Gurudev on this. eg. someone once told me that

a leading Nepalese publication had printed an article on

relationship/dialogue/Diksha session between Paramhans Swami

Nikhileshwaranandji & Jesus.

 

Birendraji is right about more graphical content in FAQ. A picture is

worth a thousand words!

 

Audio-video & more space. My two cents worth - I think that we limit

our current scope to an achievable standard. We can think about audio-

video in long term, but let us start with a simple, basic thing and

build it later. Let us try to concentrate on simple things first.

Moroever, someone can do a bit of research on latest audio-video

technlogies, and come up with a technical solution on how to

implement this. web speed is still very slow for joe-public , and

very few people (except some fortunate ones with high bandwidth due

to office connections/isdn line) can download audio-video in

presentable format. People are finding difficulty in downloading the

current graphics itself. multimedia is a developing technlgy , and

cool stuff is being developed. An alternative cud be to develop some

good presentation using flash etc. We can keep it in mind as a long

term strategy and check its feasibility.

 

Similarly, lets start with the 30 meg odd space currently available.

let us fill this space with more personal articles (experineces, info

on Gurudev, scientific correlation, tips etc.) rather than flashy

video! Gurudham is already uploading mags & books. Let us do

something else to complement that, from a Sadhak's perspective. We

can always move to additional webspace or get more space if we need

it in future.

 

Ashishji, have a look at the www.indiatalking.com They manage various

discussions among multiple people, and it is very convenient, because

a person doesnt need a user id/password to give his/her comments.

What do u think of a uploading structure similar to this. We cannot

limit uploading to a select group of individuals. People give

comments on an impulse. And in future, this discussion list will have

hundreds nay thousands of members, and it will be difficult to manage

allocation of userid/password. What do u think?

 

All those in favor of more space (> 30MB) raise their hands!!

 

I guess that following more categories may be added to NEW site -

a. Info about Pujya Gurudev. (from anuragji)

b. Latest in Scientific Research (from anuragji)

c. Extracts from some interesting & encouraging articles from books

& mag about Sadhanas and Gurudev (from birendraji)

d. Graphical content for FAQ eg. graphical display of Asanas,

prannayam, nyaas, "how to tie a dhoti" etc. (from birendraji)

e. answers to beginner's questions (from anuragji)

 

Additions to www.siddhashram.org

a. glossary in printable format (from birendraji)

b. graphical content for faq (from birendraji)

c. more expereinces & increase in archived material (from birendraji)

d. book extracts after sorting out legality (from birendraji)

 

Suggestions for name : None received today!

 

Jai Gurudev

Those discussion groups are on general topics, but ours is a special

one. We must also preserve the quality and standard. With no access

control, anyone, who comes across, will be able to post anything and

we won't able to control the transformation of a filter into a junk

yard. Remeber what Shrivastavji said yesterday? We must proceed with

caution.

My current website, www.hostwhois.com, has 226 members with about 750

complicated, huge and hard to manage plans. I handle them

successfully without harming the integrity of the site.

> All those in favor of more space (> 30MB) raise their hands!!

 

If we are planning a huge site, we must decide now! We may upgrade,

but that's wouldn't be an easy task. So either do it now or never.

Jai Gurudev!

 

If someone has an access to that article. Then would it

be possible to post it here on this discussion group.

Hi,

Jaya Guru Dev !

 

I am from Kathmandu and am not aware of any article published on Nepali

Media, would any one who is aware or heard of this please give me more clue

so that I can avail the article and post it for discussion.

 

Based on this interaction we should also have a section on Country Report.

Which would include details of the following:

 

Active Organisations performing Sadhana with Guidance from Guru Dham.

Active Organisations performing Sadhana without guidance from Guru Dham.

(there are many local registered organizations set up in Nepal which do not

directly take instructions from Guru Dham).

In active organizations

Individuals categorised as mentioned above.

 

 

Another section should include :

Guide Lines for Hosting Sadhana Camps.

and Reports on such Camps after the shivir.

 

 

Cheers
