However Mozart is in itself totally different. Classical is not my faviourite genre of music, no matter how scietifically proven it is to say how clever it makes your child if you listen to Morzart while the baby is in ur womb. Or how plants grow better when you play classical music in a greenhouse...

As for it leaving an "imprint" on my "antakarana", "soul" or "heart", this seems to me a rather good example of SES gobbledygook. Could you (or anyone) please explain what you mean by those terms? Tom, the antakarana can best be described as the psyche, rather than the soul or heart. It's most ofte...

On a more practical level, they say that that is a highly significant and important person to you. THerefore it would make sense if the person...

How about a school that teaches children how to think, not what to think? How about a school that doesn't impose supposed "principles of spiritual knowledge" and assertions about the existence a "Creator" on susceptible youngsters? How about a school that lets its pupils decide for themselves what "...

Debenham and Caldwell in New York

I was surfing the web just now and I came across this site: http://www.abrahamlincolnschool.org/herald/00fall.htm This, it would seem, is the sister school to St James in the USA. I noticed a couple of names and faces from the past: Nicholas Debenham and Sheilah Caldwell. And who's that John Hipshon...

Hi Guest, Thanks for starting this new thread. I'm certainly not an expert on this subject and I understand how controversial it can be, but I restate my opinion that, as I understand it, the evidence for the historical existence of Krishna is far from conclusive. I am very aware of how important ch...

A few comments on Antises?s post

I?d like to respond to a few things in Antises?s latest post. (I?ll avoid getting involved in the recent bad-tempered exchanges except to agree with Matthew that the abusive St Vedast regime we suffered is a highly delicate subject and one that is perhaps difficult for us to discuss calmly!) Whilst ...
