Dear Members:

1. As many of you may be aware, in addition to the bhkati list, there 
are other groups that SrI Mani created a few months back.  I notice 
that the membership in these other groups (sv-general, sv-poetry, sv-
rituals etc.)., is not even one-fourth of the membership of the 
bhakti list.  SrI Muralidhar Rangaswamy has been posting the pAdukA 
sahasram postings regularly in the sv-poetry list.  SrI Sadagopan has 
been posting different works of svAmi deSikan in the list as well.  
It is our loss if we do not make use of these postings of our great 
AcArya-s.  Other postings of other post-rAmAnuja SrI vaishNava AcArya-
s is welcome as well.  Please benefit from these postings, since it 
is very rare that we get a well-thought out summary of the different 
interpretations that are being summarized here.  In order to access 
these lists, you have to become members of these other lists.  So, if 
you think it will be of interest to you, please join these other 
lists.  Please note that I am not campaigning to increase memberships 
in the other lists;  I am only bringing to your attention that if you 
are interested in the kinds of postings that already are submitted to 
these lists, you may be missing out by not being members of these 
other lists.  

2. I also notice that many postings are sent to the bhakti list, that 
should really be sent to one of these other lists.  It is true that 
the readership/membership of these other lists is not as extensive as 
that of the bhakti list, and so the postings in these other lists get 
less exposure as it stands right now.  The right way to address this 
problem is that you become a member of the other groups if they are 
of interest to you.  When postings are received to the bhakti list, 
but that belong to one of the other lists, I have been redirecting 
them to the appropriate list.  This involves additional overhead, and 
I request the members to help avoid this overhead. 

3. I see many postings where members are very interested in conveying 
what their "personal" views are on several topics.  (I realize that I 
may not be completely innocent on this count, even though I try my 
very best to avoid this).  I am sure that these personal views are 
based on what they have read in authentic works of AcArya-s, or heard 
the information from recorded upanyAsam-s on tapes, etc.  It will 
help quite a bit in communication if they take the time to also share 
the source of their information when they express their personal 
views.  

With sincere praNAmam-s to you all.

-Your Moderator.
