Since it is not available in India, he has very generously offered to bring up for local consumption in the country another book.<br />getting endorsemets from prominent names for his work, will in my opinion not save such a biased book from being consigned to the dustbin of history- the self styled historian probably wasted his best years in India sofar- to paint Sri Aurobindo in black.rajendram chackravartisrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169269054831989907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492774704026276830.post-28900273054083740162012-05-07T21:22:13.268+05:302012-05-07T21:22:13.268+05:30It is absolutely clear that Peter has completely w...It is absolutely clear that Peter has completely wasted his 40 years as an inmate, in association with the Ashram and the archives. he could not learn or understand the very basic attitudes needed of a inmate and devotee. As a result, his perverted mind and the influence from his perverted and mischievous associates, along with unhindered and unchecked access to the classified records at the Archives, has created a new Asura in him, and expressed through his now infamous book. How would such a person understand [much less appreciate] the above attributes of a Guru? and the attitudes expected of a follower?H Acharyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862255275570838521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492774704026276830.post-23103229205542025352012-05-07T10:51:28.949+05:302012-05-07T10:51:28.949+05:30Here are a few timeless-ageless prayers in the pra...Here are a few timeless-ageless prayers in the praise of the Guru:<br /><br />The Guru is no other than Brahman, the Creator. The Guru is no other than Vishnu, the Preserver. The Guru is no other than the great Shiva, the Destroyer. The Guru is verily Brahman himself. To the Guru I bow.<br /><br />I bow to the Guru, who by knowledge opens the eyes of one blinded by ignorance.<br /><br />I bow to the Guru who reveals the divine Being that encircles and permeates the moving and the non-moving.<br /><br />I bow to the Guru by whom is revealed the divine Being, the Inelligence absolute, that permeates all the worlds with all their objects, moving and non-moving.<br /><br />I bow to the Guru who imparts to the disciple the fire of self-knowledge, and burns away his bonds of Karma accumulated through many births.RYDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619346864770502159noreply@blogger.com
