I recently joined too, to learn. I lean more towards Vishishtadvaita than Advaita itself. I'm Vaishnava incorporating aspects of Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna including bodhicitta; there's a lot, I'm learning that is not in conflict. I'm no Vedantic scholar (actually I'm pretty dumb in that regard

) but I have my beliefs based on feelings. I'll probably learn from you.

"Compassion is that which makes the heart of the good move at the pain of others." - The Buddha
"May I be gentle-minded, cultivating the six paramitas, and never forget bodhicitta. May I completely cleanse without omission every negativity and all that obscures this awakening mind." - from Samantabhadracarya Pranidhana
