Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Dear Vesco, I am a very new member from Singapore, recently joined as a student. I fully agreed with Sri.Gauranga Das.I am 47 years old, Born and brought up in Singapore. Although I born in Singapore, I learn Indian and Hindu Culture thru my parents, school lessons and other sources. Please remember three words i.e.: Matha-Pitha,Guru and Dhaivam Or Deva(God). This three words, I learned before enter the school premises.Guruthuam is very important for anybody, means for any religion. You may be very young, Please patient and learn. I am not offending you. I believe Jyothish a subject is 99% guruthuam and spiritual and 1% is lesson. Any institute, organization have their own rules and regulations, as a member,employee or student have to follow strictly to the policy or rules & regulations. This is commonsense. Thank you, Best regards, Gopalan Somarajan. Gauranga Das [gauranga] Tuesday, 18 April 2000 2:33 varahamihira Re: [Jagannath] Re: pix JAYA JAGANNATHA! Dear Vesco, Namaste. I think that you have a long way to go in understanding Vedic culture and tha guru-shishya relationship. I strongly disagree with your judgement of Sanjayji and I think that you have no right to criticise him in this way, at least if you want to be his student. This disrespectful mentality of yours is killing the recently planted sprout of guru-bhakti in your heart and thus you are losing the possibility to learn genuine Jyotish. Thete are thousands out there with a similar mentality as yours, but the real secrets of Jyotish will never open to their intelligence, because of their disrespectful and unsubmissive mentality. Jyotish is a holy science and is revealed by Krishna from the heart. So if He is satisfied with your attutude towards your guru, He will grant you knowledge. Otherwise you will just lick the outside of the jar. Please take my words seriously if you want to reap any fruits of your relationship with Sanjayji. Yours, Gauranga das -----Eredeti üzenet----- Feladó: vesco bondov <ocsev Címzett: <varahamihira > Elküldve: 2000. április 18. 1:20 Tárgy: [Jagannath] Re: pix > > Dear Sanjay Rath, > > With all due respects where they are due. > > I realise this is a minor issue on the path of learning Jyotish.
