Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Dear List members Let me share my experience with you. Today has been a very fruitful day for me. I was asked to do two assemblies at a school called 'St James'. This school is a Christian school in London with some very unusual characteristics. It teaches Vedantic ideals and Sanskrit is made compulsory for all children. The school has expanded and now they have branches in New York, Leeds, Dublin, Holland and Australia (and one recent addition at Varanasi!). They are trying to put across 'Advaitic philosophy'. Even though I have been in touch with the school for a very long time, they were a bit worried about inviting me to speak as they thought that 'Shankara's advaita and Vivekananda's advaita are perhaps not the same. Well this morning I had the opportunity to blow away these cobwebs. The topic that I chose to speak on was 'Science and Spirituality'. They are now keen to reinvite me to develop other themes like 'ideas of evolution from the Vedic teachings' I had very good reception from the Head, the students and teachers. This is not unusual - I just have to serve up a 'tiny' bit of Vivekananda and that is enough to ignite such gatherings. : ) jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Hello Jay, Nice that they are open to other teachers of Vedantic ideas. What grades do these schools teach? Are these schools related to Ian McLaren's School of Economic Philosophy? Om! --Greg At 04:28 PM 1/26/01 -0000, Vivekananda Centre wrote: > >Dear List members > >Let me share my experience with you. > >Today has been a very fruitful day for me.
