[SJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Membership Fees

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

Out of the four points raised by Shri Visti,the most important is that members

want to know what will they get out of it and what the money will be used for.

Yes,if there is a price tag,there will be expectations on the part of person who

is paying to know what will be received in return. Once the person knows what

he/she will receive and they receive that,they can decide to pay but after that

it should be no concern of theirs as to how the money is spent by the

organization.

------------------------

Sri Jagannath Group: This is the free internet class where the Jyotish Guru's

interact with the learners, both advanced and basic level to discuss the

lessons posted.

 

Members are trying to reconcile with the stated mission of SJC,where it is

specifically said that there will be no exchange of money.

 

It should be amended to following:-Sri Jagannath Group: This is the internet

class where the Jyotish Guru's interact with the learners, both advanced and

basic level to discuss the lessons posted.Dakshina may be made to SJC.

(Paypal/Checks/MO etc be made payable to------ and sent to the following address----)

 

I am learning something from this Group so my Guru is SJC.Once I give

gurudakshina, I am not interested in how and where the money is spent because

if I had Guru in person(the Guruchandal yoga will not let a Guru find me)I will

not ask him how he spends the gurudakshina.Some may be able to give more then

the fixed fees,some less but ultimately Jyotish will be the winner. In this

regard,can we find some means for 'Gupt'Gurudakshina so that everyone may

contribute without anyone knowing what the other person has given and

protecting everyone's privacy.

 

I agree with Ms.Wendy's point that even a Guru has to run a household and I

would like SJC to flourish.SJC should also continue to take care of those who

have the inclination but not the means. For me Jyotish is and will always be a

way towards my spiritual growth. I don't want a quid pro relationship between

spiritual and money. I give one,I get one.

This is strictly my personal view and I hope I have not hurt anyone.

 

I will request the governing body of SJC,to give a thought to the above.

 

With regards,

Jagmeet
