My computer crashed and I lost all my documents, most importantly I lost the 2 chapters of my book that I had posted on the forums, just about the same time the forums crashed. On the old forums, mari7777 said she had saved the stuff Id written, so mari, if youre around here, Id really really appreciate if you could email me the stuff. Thank you very much. love, Bhaskar (nowhere_man)
OH NO!! Baskhar that's terrible! I'm so sorry you lost all that beautiful work! Unfortunately I had a crash a few weeks ago and lost everything as well, including things I had saved from the forums so I don't have it anywhere. I wish I was able to help.
oh well..it is the lords will. I will try again. If His blessings are with me, then the work will bring fruit, if He doesnt will it, then try as I might I wont be able to finish it. There is a story of the great Saint Tulasidas, who wrote the story of Lord Sri Rama, the beautiful Ramacharitamanas, one of the most wonderful works of hindi literature. When he first started writing the book, he would write everyday and in the morning he would find the pages reduced to ashes. I dont remember exactly why and what he did to solve this problem. Ill find the story and tell you sometime. The point is, without the lords will, nothing happens.
Now I remember...what happened was that Tulsidasji originally started writing in Sanskrit and found that every morning his manuscript was destroyed. Then Lord Shiva came to him in a dream and told him to write it in the popular language of te time, Avadhi ( a dialect of Hindi) and so he wrote Ramacharitmanas in Avadhi and it stands as one of the rgeatest poetic works of the time.
