Re: Is this list serving any purpose?

Dear Mani,
          I just wonder what made you to think of putting an end to 
this group. Surely you have to give up such an idea! This site is 
really good. There is always a "slack" period. At times people are 
occupied with mundane things that they forget about the bhakti-list. 
You need to sing a "suprabAtham" those times to wake up the jIvAtmAs.

          On a different matter,wrt the rules,it's my personal view
(you can always disregard),the rules shouldn't be too stringent. No 
two persons think alike(under normal conditions). There is so much 
about our sampradAyam and philosophy/works of AchAryAs that we
(atleast I) all need to learn. So,let people express their views but 
they should be aware where & when to put a "full stop" (when the 
discussion does not lead anywhere to a good understanding). Without 
the "freedom of speech" and some heated discussions I don't think 
there would be any advancement in any field. 

           If everybody can accept every other person as he/she is 
this world would be like vaikuNTam. 

           I have so much to ask but I'm a bit scared to put forth my 
questions(b'coz of the restrictions and I classify myself as a free 
person). A "truly" knowledgeable person would not mind any type of 
question. This is again my viewpoint and I don't expect others to 
agree with me.
           
            With so many other groups existing,attention will be 
divided among the groups. It's quite natural. (It's like the baby 
attracted to one particular gift or it will keep shifting its 
attention). 

          Maybe a person who is knowledgeable(atleast to some extent)
in brahma sUtrA should take one sUtrA(I guess there are 545 in no)and 
try to elaborate on that. And allow people to clarify their doubts. 
As someone already pointed out,even if you try to end this group,you 
may not succeed! 

Best Regards and a BIG SRIMAN NARAYANA's BLESS on this group(&you)
