Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Dear Shri Sanjay ji Scholars can have different views.I was taught to respect individuals for their contributions(as no individual can be bad in all aspects) and question views.Similarly when my bad points are being criticized accept and correct those. I am thankful that you have considered my queries as valid.Only others more learned than me can judge my queries. Now no one till today has told me, '' you have to be my student '' , for getting my doubts clarified. I am a student whenever i am listening.Pls bear with my style as my words are reflecting my exact feelings upon reading your mail. If my query was not sincere enough,i apologize.I am having doubts and will be grateful if your knowldege could be shared. I am not a scholar and hence pray in simple language to my Lord.Brihaspati gayatri,makes me feel good,every day.So is Mahamrityunjaya.I am thankful for all the knowledge i have gained through net.
