Yoga Vasistha Discord Server

[Lokesh Sharma]

नमस्सर्वेभ्यः

There are many interesting people in this group and we have many things to discuss. This group is a good place to have formal discussions but if we want to discuss small topics or have an informal discussion, I don't think this is a good place as it would be spamming others.

That's why I've created a Discord Server to hold informal talks on Yoga Vasistha. Please join it here https://discord.gg/5zVTSB25Er

I invite everyone to join.

सर्वमिदम् ब्रह्म

[Jiva Das]

Your app requires me to declare my birthday, an important part of identity theft 

which I do not disclose casually. Nevertheless I would do that, but there is no record of online discussions. 

All I have to say in the couple of decades remaining to me 

is for the record 

in print 

not for chat. 

to chat is to spit your cabbage before you taste it. 

"Chewing your cabbage twice" 

when you think is <viveka> 

but when you speak it means holding your tongue till you taste it.

In brief, let's talk in print. 

What is this saMkalpa you're sometimes asking.about? 

*** 

Note: It is impossibly troublesome for me on my English keyboard to switch from Devanagari to Roman script. 

The Harvard-Kyoto Transcripi (HK, somewhen KH) offers a one.to.one correspondence of DN letters with the Roman. 

We are talking about important stuff. It is useful to remember what we think today. Tomorrow...???

HK, IAST everything is fine with me. I translate it on aksharamukha.appspot.com/

Regarding Discord, there's a simple utility to dump all the chat into a text or rich text file.

But anyway if you want, we can talk using the "print".

Yes there are two things samkalpa and vikalpa. Do you know what they mean and how they differ? Also both of them have the word kalpa in them.

Shall we talk on this email or switch to that document "Lokesh Connection"?

Our dialog would be best on the Groupsite with copies to You & Me &c. 

There should be a copy to the proton site 

but you should be able to respond in your Dropbox 

Let me know otherwise
