You've got a great forum here...

Bernie is my 'real' name but I post under my initiate name of 'kannada'.

My main interest has been meditation practice and I have been inspired by the Dharma teachings, be they Hindu, Buddhist or the more contemporary teachers, over quite some time now - Ramana Maharshi being at the top of the list, a wonderful exponent of the Dharma.

I'm looking forward to sharing some ideas about practice with like minded people and learning more about the Sanatana Dharma tradition and teachings...

All the best

Hi Bernie/Kannada:

Welcome to HDF.

I'm curious about your "initiate" name. Kannada is a S. Indian language. Sage Kanada was also the systematizer of the Vaiseshika Darshana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisheshika) - one of the 6 orthodox schools of Sanatana Dharma.

Hi Sunyata, Mana, Wundermonk...

Thank you kindly for your welcome.

Wundermonk, the name 'kannada' was given to me in 1974 by Swami Muktananda Paramhansa when initiated into Shaktipat Diksha. I never really followed up on the meaning of the word or its philosophical heritage. Thank you for the link, I am reading it now...

Take care to all

Welcome to Hindu Dharma Forums. :)
Kannada do you still identify with the Siddha Yoga organization?

Namaste,
Thank you for your welcome...

No, I do not identify with any organization, either when Muktananda was alive or deceased. Shaktipat Diksha is above and beyond organizations. I say so in my site www.the-initiate.com

All the best
