Speaking of iPads, can someone recommend an app that resembles Outlook and syncs well with an IMAP account? I use Outlook on my PC, and IMAP for my BatGap account, but the mail app on my iPad doesn’t work well, and mail2web.com is a hassle.

[FairfieldLife] Sri Yantra and Mantras

2014-03-18 Thread ultrarishi
I have a question or two about the mantra origin. From what I gather, the history is that Shankara, when he established the 4 Maths around India placed a Sri Yantra with mantras on them at each location. Is there a picture of any of these SriYantras or Sri Vidyas showing this? Could one

Similar to the partisan-, conspiracy-, and paranoia-driven reports about Flight 370 have been reactions to the US bailing on trying to control domain names on the Internet. As this article points out, it's actually a pretty savvy move, one that moves in the direction of a *more* user-driven and

I've never understood why anyone would even *want* a tablet computer. I can think of only one reason to have one. Anything one can do on the Net I can do with either my laptop or my iPhone. Why would I ever need an iPhone with a bigger screen (which, if you think about it, is kinda the

The beej mantras most likely way predate Shankara. They are nothing unique or special. Anyone can give them (guess why Maharishi figured out a meditation system anyone could teach). They are often suggested for practice from Indian astrologers and ayurvedic practitioners. The sounds
