As you see – the new blog version of ‘Answers’ is underway! and for once, I’ve actually got something done sooner than I expected.
Well, I’m impressed with myself, anyway 😉
I’ve put up a smattering of posts already. Please do add comments wherever you have any: your message should appear straight away, unless the automatic system mistakes it for spam. (In which case I’ll clear it for posting asap.) I’m basically relying on you to show me what’s interesting and relevant for you, and what’s not.
If you have an RSS reader, you can copy the ‘RSS feed’ link down on the right hand side of the page into it. Likewise if you have a ‘My Yahoo’ home page, click the button to add ‘Answers’ to that, so you get notification there of each new post.
If the above paragraph was indescribable gobbledegook to you, you can safely ignore it: you’ll still get twice-monthly emails from me, they’ll just be short ones linking to articles online, instead of the five-mile-long variety you’ve come to expect.
Or you could read an introduction to RSS (if you know a better introduction, please post a comment!) and pick a free RSS reader to try. I’m using ‘RSS reader‘, or see this list that includes some Mac ones.
I think that’s about it. No, one other thing. Do you think ‘Answers’ is a staggeringly half-witted, dozy, addle-pated name for this? And if so – any alternative suggestions?
I’m thrilled with the information you are sharing and the discussions which are being generated! I’ve been using I-Ching for 37 years now, and the more I learn, the more I realize I still have a great deal to learn. For that reason, I suggest “Interpretations” rather than answers.
Well done, Hilary! I like it. Welcome to the blogging community. I have three of them: one in English (link above), one in Spanish and a Photoblog. I can barely keep up with them… 🙂
Kind regards,
Luis
Thanks for the link, Luis!
As exhausted as I am, I thought just a glance might suffice before a few hours nap with the cats and the arrival of the mail man. With the up and coming Parikrama, my emails are up to about thirty five a day from people everywhere asking about travel to and from Australia, weather and climate conditions, temple locations for both Iskcon and the Gaudiya Math Vedanta Samiti and what programs are held where. It is really hectic and to think I came to bhakti yoga for peace, quiet and renunciation. But thats the essence of service to Gurudev and Krishna. Do everything as an offering to him, then the pleasure in life will be automatically.
I just glanced at that line one in 56 The Wanderer and it almost seems the same. Bother yourself with frivolities and the lower modes and your life will become exactly that. Engage yourself in higher searches, higher roads, intelligent respectful people, who at least know what respect really means and then its easy to develop a more interesting intelligent path. Things just flow together naturally. As the devotees say, you water the roots of the plant not the leaves and then like nature it just simply grows.
I saved about a dozen of those links, which I will print out and read later on about all the connections and upside down lines, the meanings of which line in which place means what etc? I’m still mesmerized by how all the nuclear qua if taken out repeatedly end up in the four sequence, either 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1, or 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2, or 63 63 63 63 or 64 63 64 63 etc. That maybe where George Rabe thinks the I Ching does come from a previous civilization and there is something to that code which is above and beyond everything we know about physics / and spiritual knowledge. Anyway, enough said, Keep up the great work , I’ll keep giving your email to the devotees and you just keep on giving Syamaranis Hotfile, or the Gaudiya Web to the I Ching fans.
http://www.purebhakti.com and one day from that, there will be on the shelves along side the Buddhist I Ching, there will also be the I Ching of Krishna and Radha. Although, Padmanabha Maharaja did tell me last year he did know before of someone who had studied all the comparisons, but he couldn’t remember who it was. Aranya Maharaja?, I don’t know. I’d love to find out.
In the meantime, all the best from sunny south Australia. Who said there is no yin and yang. You lucky lot will be going into Summer as the earth spins around and down here we will be turning into icy cold winter. And I often think of the tao as a bit like the moon. That is, the same moon I look at in the sky at night, is the same moon Narayana Maharaja sees in India, or yourself in London, or Padmanabha Maharaja in America. The wealthy class of millionaires in Melbourne have the same moon over their parties, while those destitute poor children in the African gold mines see the same moon. And the moon, like the tao, doesn’t discriminate. It just gives its’ light out regardless of who or where anyone is. Similarly to the I Ching and the Tao, or Krishna and Radha, or the Buddha for that matter. Whoever knocks on the door, will receive the answer they need.
HARE KRISHNA AND KEEP CHANTING ALWAYS
