Tattva-viveka

Should we have a mini exam on rasa-tattva?

I just realised that you can post polls as well. Please read the last post in the Rasa-tattva thread and take the time to answer.

I like the idea of an exam, but I haven't even been able to keep up on the daily studying and quizzes. Another hint that I need to re-examine my priorities.

oh wait, it is not an open book exam? :)

I suppose one could do it either way, and who is there to check you? Looking for the answers is a good way of learning. Best would be if Guru Maharaja wrote the questions, and everyone then sent the answers to him. But I don't know if he has the time for that. Anyway, please everbody vote in the poll above. If you are not against it, but don't care, since you would not have the time/ interest for taking part anyway, please vote "don't know".

More votes, please! There must be more than eight persons on Tattvaviveka!

I suggest, Bhrigu Prabhu, that you interpret the insignificant voter turnout as a resounding, nearly unanimous "NO". :)

You are right, of course, but I am a little surprised that so few took the opportunity to say so directly. Especially since the poll is anonymous.

right now, there are still 8 people who voted yes, so you'll have to decide if it's worth to create an exam for 8 people... I think so.

On second thought, I think that I may have been too discouraged by the letter above. An exam for eight people is definately worth it. I've made many exams for fewer people at the university. I'll post it within a couple of days. Thanks for the encouragement, Shyamgopal!

Of course it's worth it! Everyone who comes here will learn from the attempt to take the exam. Bring it on (and let's see if I'm bold enough to tackle it).

admittedly i voted yes, but i have a bad feeling im going to get an F on this quiz... :)

Good way to learn though, thanks bhrigu
