The Sermon on the Mount - 0

 

Hello,

 

This series of posting is based on the book " The Sermon on the Mount -

According to Vedanta " by Swami Prabhavananda. The book is copyrighted by

Vedanta Society of Southern California, 1946, Vedanta Place, Hollywood,

California 90068. (http://www.vedanta.org/) The book is also available from

Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0874810507/indianphilosopanA

This material first appeared in the magazine of the Society - Vedanta in the

West. Later it was expanded and compiled into this book form. There is also a

publication of this book from New American Library under the trademark

" Mentor Books " .

 

The Sermon on the Mount is the central doctrine upon which rests the

Christian religion. These are the instructions of Christ to his disciples,

given in private. The book contains the whole Sermon with explanatory notes

for each idea.

 

None in the Ramakrishna-Vivekanada circle needs an introduction about

Swami Prabhavananda. He is a monk of the Ramakrishna Order. He has translated

several Hindu scriptures into English like the Upanisads, Bhagavat Gita,

Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Narada Bhakti Sutras and Srimad Bhagavatam. He has

written the biographies of Swami Brahmananda and Swami Premananda. His other

books include " Yoga and Mysticism: An introduction to Vedanta " , " Vedic

Religion and Philosophy " , " The Spiritual Heritage of India " and " Religion in

Practice. " Most of these and related books at Amazon.com can be accessed at

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1863/store.html

 

I will post the words from the Bible as given in the book and an

explanation in my own words based on the ideas in the book.

 

NOTE THAT THIS SERIES IS NOT STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOK. IN CASE OF ANY

DISCREPANCY, PLEASE REFER TO THE BOOK. SWAMI PRABHAVANANDA'S WORDS ARE

AUTHORITATIVE.

 

This is being simultaneously posted to ramakrishna and

philist .

 

With love,

Gomu.
