Thank you Jaminiji

[Guest guest]

Namaste Respected Jaminiji,

 

Dear brother, I understand fully your highly placed background and

gloriously magnificent position but please bear in mind that other

members may not have any idea about it. Remembering some of your

previous posts, may I mention the following only in discussion, not

in debate:

 

1) I think you mentioned something about people using the

name "Ananda" and that it is not enough.. I fully agree with this

in one concept, in that some of those who have been initiated as

swamis or sanyas need not neccesarily know everything or evolved

enough to fully live up to their names. There are also others who

are true masters who walk their talk, live and breathe the "Orange"

that was poured into them by their gurus during initiation. I don't

think most people are comfortable to use the term "ananda" in their

names if they are not initiated. Please know that those who

use "Ananda" in their names on this List, are all initiated shining

ones.

 

2) Pretty sure you mentioned about something or someone being lower

than a chandala if they did this or something else.. Did you read

the story about Sri Shankaracharya washing himself in the Ganga Maa

one day and a chandala went to wash also. The chandala was freely

splashing water around and some drops landed on Shankaracharya who

said "O' chandala, be careful of where you splash"...... The

chandala gave a reply and during their conversation, Shankaracharya

then realised that the chandala was in fact Lord Shiva in disguise

and begged forgiveness. After that Shankaracharya went away to

meditate for many years. This story is in the ancient books and

contains a nice advice why some of us prefer to "greet the Divine in

everybody" instead of looking at the bad or negative of someone or

some situation.

 

3) Touching on your good point about "Shudras teaching Brahmins.."

(this was deleted from your post as it sounded derogatory at the

time) the answer is also in the Holy Books somewhere where it says

that "Everyone is born a Shudra but to become a real Brahmin is by

merit". I'm sure your Guruji and his ashrama will be able to

discourse further about the Shankaracharya story and about shudras

and brahmins from the holy books. Please ask them.

 

At the end of the day, everyone still breathes the same air with

feet walking the same Mother Earth planet and merit is not selective

of caste or religious path either.

 

Best regards

Simone

Kerala or elsewhere.

any tom, dick or harry. I have been crying hoarse to the members not

chant the beeja mantra without proper pronounciation or without

knowing it's meaning or where to lay stress; it requires a sequence

of imagination and tremedous amount of concentration. But in this

Kali Yuga the people will turn deaf to genuine knowledge; people

will finally think that they are god personified.. this is what Lord

Krsna said and is turning out to be true. I am wondering as to why I

am at all responding to this mail....
