Moderator(s) wanted

From the Bhakti List Archives

Dear Members of the Bhakti List,

I am looking for people to take over the moderation
and ownership duties of this mailing list.  It's been
nearly eight years since this list was started and 
I've slowly come to the realization that my heart is 
just not in it anymore. Based on member feedback I
recognize that this mailing list performs a useful
service, so I'd like to hand this over to good hands,
preferably several hands.

Here are the requirements:

Technical:
  (1) Adequate Internet access, to easily review  
      email and check the Yahoo Groups Web site.
  (2) Should be very comfortable with computers and
      email programs
  (3) Strong written English skills
  
Preferred Background:
  (4) Should be comfortable in written Tamil and Sanskrit,
      or at least one of the two
  (5) At least cursory familiarity with the     
      classics of Visishtadvaita Vedanta -- Sribhashya, 
      Gitabhashya, Divya Prabandham, rahasya granthas of
      various acharyas
  (6) Some knowledge of Indian and Sri Vaishnava history
      (*not* hagiology)
  (7) Should be willing to be scholarly and respectful of
      others' views (i.e., differing philosophical interpretations)
      despite holding strong views of one's own
  (8) Should have a humanistic and scientific attitude in 
      general

If you are interested but you are not sure you meet these
requirements, drop me an email anyway. You may be overinterpreting
the above standards. 

I'd like to leave the list in the hands of three or four 
people preferably, but I'd be happy to turn it over to
one person if that's all the interest I receive. Whoever
takes over the list will have total control. I will be
happy to advise for a few months but eventually I'd like
to be just a member and have no official role.

Note: men and women, boys and girls, are all equally 
welcome to respond to this request.

Thanks,
Mani
