Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 om_namah_shivaya Namaste, I am a newcomer in this group, and have much to rejoice about the initiative, you may guess. If we are joyfully expectant about something that is going to happen, a feeling of happiness underlines all that we are going to do together in this group. The aim of our searching together in the Holy Scriptures as the Bhagavad Gita, meditation, is to train us to abide in feeling drawn from "knowledge" that the Supreme Being will give us moment by moment the necessary Power to endure. Knowledge to act, and Love to serve. This feeling of the nearness of the Supreme Being will, if we practice faithfully, become the emotional undercurrent of our life. Meditation trains us to hold the attention on the Presence of the "Supreme", that our emotional response may be in accord with what is Brahman and we so may build up a consciousness based on feeling that has its counterpart in the nature of the Supreme Being. I am the translator of the Bhagavad Gita in French and Dutch, and at the moment I am translating the same in English for having my own version on my website for study "together". I also started a self- help course on Sanskrit for reading, chanting, and Satsang study. Do visit my website on the Bhagavad Gita: http://www.geocities.com/hagurcomic/GitaBelgium.html With my very best wishes, Philippe L. De Coster, B.Th., D.D.
