Season's Greetings

When he took up his hat to go, he gave one long look round the library. Then he turned ... (and Saxon took advantage of this to wag his way in and join the party), and said, "It's a rare privilege, the free entry of a book chamber like this. I'm hoping ... that you are not insensible of it."

@Fowler&fowler: well, you'd love to see my "boekenkamer"; at every wall, books from the floor to the ceiling. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely would. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 12:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up

Hi, could you please help clean up the article Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram? At present, it is written with a promotional tone, and much of the content are original research, and lacks text-source integrity. 2409:4073:31C:4337:F9C9:66CB:C27C:510E (talk) 13:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look; not my cup of tea... PS: I did several Google searches for Ramayanana and mythology, but found no satisfactory sources. Labelling it only as mythology is tok simple, I think. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:19, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

Wishing you a great New Year full of happiness, joy, and the bliss within that life has to offer.

Also, while here, wanted to ask if you have any recommendation for reading more on Ramana Maharshi's direct guidance on Self-realization through Bhakti. From what I read so far, it seems he mainly preferred Self-inquiry as sort of direct path for jivamukta state? Asteramellus (talk) 12:36, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asteramellus: pfoo... Ramana Maharshi himself was worshipped, as an incarnation of Shiva, but that may be somewhat diffgicult, now that he's not here anymore. But I'd recommand "Talks with Ramani"; it is, to my opinion/taste, one of the most instructive texts on the spiritual path. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 15:45, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks. I got the pdf and read a bit - This is great. 4 years of contemporary collection. Thanks so much. Asteramellus (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
