[close] Book club and recommendations from Seekers in the CMN Community

[close] After searching for a group devoted to learning metaphysical philosophies and spiritual exploration, I was shocked at the complete lack of groups and discussions. This group is a work in progress, but will be centered around discussions of spirituality, supernatural phenomena, and the nature of reality and consciousness.

[close] This group is an attempt to bring people wish to learn and share more about the Indian Philosophy. Personally I have been very fascinated by the advancement and variety of the views in the ancient Indian civilization. Bharat or India is certainly not limited by the political boundaries of the nation, but any one who believes in the values and knowledge imparted by the Vedas and Vedic Philosophers can be term Bhartiya (Indian). The ideas are now vanishing from the common people, but there are certainly some of us who respect and value the ocean of knowledge that we have inherited over millenniums and would like to learn more. This group will allow us to share great books, ideas and views/perceptions that can enable our development.
