Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Namaskar Brother Jaminiji, Yes, I fully understand your reasonings and why you've mentioned certain things as I've been blessed by you to know your background and magnificent position. Therefore I shall take the liberty of saying I feel privileged and thank you sincerely for your insights. Of course it is understandable that you find it hard to cotnrol yourself when seeing what you perceive as rubbish being discussed. Everyone has different temperaments and inclinations. You've put it very well that we should not be discussing other topics as this is a group for Rudraksha devotees. However other subjects may be discussed from time to time, but not for lengthy periods if it brings down the morale of any member or causes misunderstandings or paranoia. Many of our friends here do not speak English as a first languge so they may not understand everything. There are members who require that when someone makes statements, it would be appreciated highly if they explain facts or where reasonings were derived from. You are right, if folks refuse to learn there is no way anyone can force anyone. All beloved members come here as free agents with free will and the ability to discern what is correct or comfortable for them. In no way is this a forum for converting anyone to the beliefs of any individual, background or lineage. We learn from one another here. Everyone is a teacher as well as a student and all are equal. Our other dear brother was only expressing his views as you were expressing yours. If others' views are not appreciated by any member, it is best to refrain from responding or reacting. It is better to rise above and move on to other constructive topics. Brother Jaminiji, sincerely it would be great if you would lead by example and begin discussing Rudraksha if you wish. Many of us will be interested. Om Shanti Om Best regards Simone , Jamini Padhi <jamini_padhi> wrote: > Namaste Simoneji, > Thanks. I find it hard to control myself when rubbish is uttered and discussed in the group basically meant for Rudraksha. Where does the mantra and tantra et all come in here? Rudra and Shiva are the only topics to be discussed like who felt better with which Rudraksha, etc. Rest are using the group site for personal attention. > I had basically meant to advise the westerners..about the so called xxxxxananda and fleecing them. The Indians are too smart for that so these people go abroad. I have learned from my Gurudev to respect all....and those who know me....will testify that. I regret that things have to be explained in a, b, c, .... for which I don't have time. > Anyway, everyone is free to practise and preach what they think but it is one's own intelligence to distinguish as to what is right and what is wrong. I think that Ryan was saying kaliyuga has probably ended, it is a positive attitude from him atleast... it make one think why does he feel so, etc. > If one does not want to learn I or you cannot force him / her, that it. It all ends in saying that "I know all". The mail from V. for example..he has made up his mind and perhaps strongly believes that he is the preacher of India and Hinduism.. so be it. > Jamini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
