Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Dear Karu, Dilipda, JKda and other jyotishis, Visti Larsen and Sarajit Poddar, two of our very respected gurus, have been working on the curriculum and modalities of a correspondence course, for quite sometime now. When it is completed, we will get to hear about it, so do have some patience while they are working it out. Direct classes cannot be tied up with conferences, as a totally different mindset is required. The whole day shall be dedicated to the learning of the shastra, whether Jaimini or BPHS. A chapter or part of it will be taught in the morning, followed by individual study sessions by the students, and then the group will meet again to discuss the topic. This is not the exact structure that we have in mind, but something similar, depending on how Sanjayji and the other gurus work it out. A week to a fortnight can be dedicated to it. The idea is to have a gurukul atmosphere, away from daily chores of profession and domesticity, preferably away from the city or town, in a secluded place, with nothing to divert our minds. This would be almost like a retreat. By no means, can this be clubbed with a conference. We have not decided on a place, but something serene and peaceful like the Gurukul Retreat in Kerala mentioned by Sanjayji. We are working on options and possibilities, keeping prices, climate etc. in mind, and in due course of time, we will announce it. We are ensuring that accommodation and food expenses are reasonable on a priority basis. We will ensure a nominal registration fee for SJC to cover its organizational expenses, and perhaps a nominal guru dakshina as well? Or we may keep guru dakshina as dakshina, for those who may wish to contribute to it according to their inclinations and capabilities. Please also realise though we will try our best to keep Indian school holidays in mind as well as international vacation periods like Christmas, it may not be possible to satisfy everyone's needs or fit into everyone's schedules. Some people will get left out, do keep that in mind. Many of you have spoken about taping the conferences and making them available for those of you who are outside India and may not be able to attend. This is a very good idea, and we should think about making MP3 CDs for easy and cheap dissemination among SJC members. Please keep giving us your ideas.

Are you trying to organize any "Distant learning" method for students who like to learn from Gurukula ? Me too happy to help you on this, if you need. Thanks Karu |Vyam Vyasadevaaya Namah|Dear Guruji, Namaste. Sarajit has given his thoughts - It is i who have kept quiet. This opportunity is what i've been waiting for in a looong time. Direct teaching in this form is an excellent idea - offcourse how can it not be? there are only 8 adhyayas in the Jaimini Sutram, however there are said to be 108 in Parasara's Hora Shastra - yet some small and some big, hence possibly can be covered in 12 parts at maximum... Its a big feat to begin on. Only 2 things need to be planned carefully; 1. Planning of how much shall be tought and when. Also will it all be taught in one go, or will it be a repeated the next year? 2. When does this happen. Other than that, i'm looking forward to breathing some fresh air and eat some Jyotish for breakfast.
