Revered Friends/Devotees of Sri Ramakrishna.

We have taken the liberty of putting your name on to a mail-list we have just

started. The list will be moderated. The aims are to portray the best of

spiritual teachings from the lives of Sri Ramakrishna and other spiritual giants

of our times. We will develop certain themes for discussions. We welcome any

suggestions and contributions on suitable spiritual topics which can benefit all

the participants .

Suggestions and contributions to the list to be sent to: -

ramakrishna

We humbly pray that this list will help awaken spirituality in all sincere

seekers.

Om namah Sri Ramakrishnaye.

First topic: 'Sri Ramkrishna on Kalpataru day'

Today is 1st of January. Devotees of Sri Ramakrishna call this the Kalpataru day

- the day the wishes of devotees were granted by the God-man of our age. This is

also the day when for the first time one gets a real idea of what this

'Ramakrishna' is. For almost all his life he had kept himself hidden. On this

special day he discarded his outer covering. The covering which portrayed him as

a humble priest - a humble devotee of the mother goddess. For the first time He

showed his true majesty. In my humble opinion, all Gods and Goddesses of the

Hindus pale in significance compared to the majesty of this being. What good are

all these Gods and Goddess to me? They appear so far off ! Here is a God-man of

today - he talks in the language we understand - he guides us towards

spirituality using contemporary methods. For the first time we have at hand a

God-man whose actual words have been recorded - whose actual photographs can be

seen. What more can we ask for?

Thank you for the welcome, and a warm " hello " to all who are on this list.

At the moment, I find nothing more to say, other than to offer a warm

greeting. For awhile, I'll read the words of others and " jump in " to

existing threads where appropriate.

 

I've been known to write spiritual essays and poetry, which I may post to

the list if appropriate to the list charter and subject matter. Any who

are interested are invited to visit my website at:

 

http://www.eskimo.com/~fewtch/ND/one.html

 

This site is oriented toward the Western " beginner, " in order to serve as a

pointing toward the nondual perspective, although it contains much that may

be of interest to those who are " further along " on their respective paths

as well. The site is not focused specifically on Ramakrishna or

Vivekananda, nor even on Advaita Vedanta, but generally on the topic of

Nonduality, the Truth that All is One in Brahman, that Atman (Self) is

Brahman (Ultimate Reality; All That Is). This is not to denigrate the

various sites with a more specific focus; such sites also have a great

purpose, but mine is geared mainly for those who may have never heard of

nonduality before, as a gentle introduction.

 

With Love,

 

Tim

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Tim Gerchmez. Some of you might know me from when I was

d here about 6 months ago. I left at that time over a dispute

with a list member (if I remember correctly), but lately I've been learning

to go beyond petty disagreements and realize that they are only

modifications of the mind, dualities that the mind has created. I'm also

learning not to get caught in the " interminable net of vain argumentation. "

 

For those who don't remember me, I'm a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna, and

(especially) Swami Vivekananda, although the writings of Adi Shankara have

also been of great impact here. Although I revere Ramakrishna and

Vivekananda as having brought the most openness and accessibility to

Advaita Vedanta, I don't limit myself to Bhakta, or even to Advaita Vedanta

itself, but the general perspective of Advaita (Nonduality) in any form it

takes (including no form at all :-). My favorite saying is " Truth is one;

sages call it by various names. "

 

Vivekananda has said that the Atman has no country, no place, no time, and

is always available to everyone. This openness is what makes Advaita

Vedanta so near to my heart, although I don't discount the words of any

other religion or philosophy -- even the dualistic religions serve a

purpose in helping bring attention to the soul. Everything is moving

toward the truth, toward perfection.

 

I feel toward Vivekananda as I would toward a brother, or a very close

friend. It was his words that brought real understanding here for the

first time, and in a way I consider him my Guru " in absentia. " His words

are as fresh as they were in the early 1900's, and I think they will still

be so another 2,000 years from now.

 

Hari OM,

 

Good to be back,

 

Tim
