Guest guest Posted June 23, 1999 Report Share Posted June 23, 1999 Namaste The unique mission of Ramakrishna Order, as I see it, is to teach the knowledge of Vedanta to everyone accepting other religions into its fold. They have always been in the forefront when it comes to interfaith activities. This particular ideal of theirs makes them very special. Being advaitins they also respect other vedantic schools like the Qualified non-dualists and the dualists, and even translate their works faithfully. In this respect, don't you find the goal of the RK order unique? The above is only my observation.
