Dear friends,

I received the following e-mail form Advaita Ashrama Calcutta.

Send as many objections as you can to force Encyclopedia Britannica to

correct this anomaly.

Thanks,

Encyclopedia Britannica

 

I If you boot up the Ramakrishna Page of the

Encyclopedia Britannica online at

http://search.britannica.com/search?miid=1 227238 & query=Ramakrishna

you can see that Kali's Child (whose thesis is

that Ramakrishna was homosexual) is the first book recommended and also

the fourth book recommended. Narasingha Sil's appalling book Ramakrishna

Revisited is number two. While we find these two books offensive, we

nevertheless are not requesting that they be stricken from their list.

 

What we would like is a representative list of the books concerning Sri

Ramakrishna. Naturally we would hope that they would include the basic

source books concerning Sri Ramakrishna: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna,

Ramakrishna: The Great Master, and The Life of Sri Ramakrishna along

with more contemporary books such as Christopher Isherwood's Ramakrishna

and His Disciples or Richard Schiffman's Sri Ramakrishna: Prophet for

the New Age.

 

I'd like as many Hindus as possible to respond en masse the

Britannica's site (editor). While they can ignore 20

letters from irritated or offended Hindus, they might not be as cavalier

with 1,000 letters. I would like ideas and lists of Hindu organizations

or individuals that might be interesting in responding to this issue.

It's bad enough that Kali's Child was highly touted in academia and

assigned in college classrooms, having it recommended (twice!) by the

Encyclopedia Britannica on their website is even worse!

Dear Prakash Kamanat,

 

Thanks for giving the information about the 15 most popular world languages.

 

You will be happy to know that many books are coming out in various languages on

Thakur / Swamiji. Recently the following books have been published:

 

1. `Cradle Tales of Hinduism' (Turkish )

2. `Mind and Its Control' (Arabic)

3.`Karma Yoga', `Raja Yoga' (Polish)

4`The Story of Vivekananda' (Japanese)

5. `What Religion is' will shortly be published in Brazil

6. `Ramakrishna - A Biography in Pictures' is getting ready in Russian.

 

We give permission to anyone whoever approaches us.

 

In order to make our books available to a maximum number of people, we are subsidizing our books. We collect funds from the public.

 

With love and best wishes,

 

Yours in Sri Thakur

Swami Bodhasarananda

Manager

dear blessed ones,

blessed love,

 

i love nature. nature teaches us to accept all the moods. it is really pity we

go for hard penance,toattain ourself without realizing this truth to learn the

sense of acceptence from the nature. nature accepts all the shades, all the

moods in a very pleasant and positive way. thus nature is our best teacher and

also the expression of god's art.love,

 

sw. maa

 

in the service of godliness,

with blessed love,

shree swami maa , india
