congratulations on your decision, or the call as i prefer to think of

it as. if it helps, may i mention that one of the swamijis at
rishikesh sivananda ashram suggested the same 3 yr course to me?

although i didn't take it due to my being choosy and biased, or

incapability, or whatever, i do think that any practical step towards
vedanta is good enough. i also believe that the path chalks itself out
for the right student. in that light, and on reading your attitude, i
feel that you're about to have a blissful experience ahead, be it
anywhere. best wishes.

may god and guru be your guide!

pranams again,
--praveen

dr. j.c. bose (1858 ?1937) is said to have discovered that trees and
plants
have life and react to stimuli. i do not know whether this was known to
science earlier. scientist members of this group must be able to say.

but it is interesting that this has been stated by sri sankara himself
in
his bhashya on chandogya upanishad, vi. 11. 2:--

"that a tree is possessed of a soul is indicated by such signs as

exudation
and drying up of sap. from the illustration in the sruti that the
non-moving
living things are possessed of consciousness, the view of the buddhists
and
the vaiseshikas, who hold that the non-moving things have no
consciousness,
is seen to be without substance".

s.n.sastri
