I have created an account to upload pictures of the members. Interested members, please email your picture with full name and current location (City,State,Country) to my email address separately. I will upload the pictures.Here are a couple of pictures at this location: http://picasaweb.google.com/vedic.wisdom.membersMy intro --> I am Ravi Poruri, working as Software Engineer in Boston, USA.

Dear Forum Members,

If you consider my humble request, please give your introduction with your present location so that we can recognise each and every writer where he is writing from. e.g. Narsimhaji is from Boston USA and Utpalji from Dubai. But I don't know anything about other active members who are taking part in discussions. This will give a clear idea while reading the mail that who is he and where he is writing from. This is like a family Forum and we need to know each other. if you agree to my view.

I am Dr. Ashwin Rawal (age 61) from Ahmedabad, a retired Govt. Officer and a Columnist in Newspapers doing practice on Astrology and Homoeopathy (freely now.) --- On Sat, 2/28/09, utpal pathak <vedic_pathak@ > wrote:

Jay Shri Krashana Amit Bhai,you did not provide wrong information. Niti Shataka was also from *Bharathri* - (No spelling mistake here- My Grandma use to pronounciate like that).***Few beings are considered Chiranjivis in our sanaatan Dharma. as you mentioned - Parshuraam, Aswatthama. i'll add Hanumaan ji to it.I don't remember exactly but my grand father mentioned to me in my childhood, Bhartuhari's name also in the same batch of chiranjivis. but not sure.i didn't mention his name as one of the chiranjivis because you said that he gives darshan some times to some saadhaka. i just mentioned it becuase, his name was discussed and i had some information or mis information. I know:) that one need not be a chiranjivi (as per our classical text) to grant darshana to some modern aspirants. by the way no body has visited me with sookshma sharira yet so i've no experience of

that.warm regards,utpal, Amit Trivedi <sonat64 > wrote:>> Namaskaaram Utpalji,> A real gem from you-how much to remember ?!? > Suppose I have memorized this-how much to remember.> I am a researcher by profession and often wonder -how much to remember ???> > You are absolutely right in pointing out what I have mistakenly stated "Niti Shataka"-It should have been VAIRAGYA SHATAKA....My sincere apology for the unintended misinformation.> Strange-i have wanted to write V.Shataka and wrote his being ascetic/renouncing the 'Samsaara',etc.> A small clarification- I have not meant to say Raaja Bhartruhari is the Chranjiva like Bhagwan Parashuraama or Sri Sri Ashwathaamaa- I
