Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 Dear Madhava, Thank you for the correction to my incomplete knowledge of the life of Sri Ramakrishna. I admit that I haven't studied his life too closely, although I believe he was an Avatar, an incarnation of Shiva (just a look at some pictures of him have me in awe). My interest is more in his primary disciple, Swami Vivekananda. HariH OM, Tim At 06:34 PM 11/17/99 +0300, you wrote: > " Madhava K.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 Dear Tim; No problem. You are absolutely right in your (make it " our " ) belief that the Great Paramahamsa is an avatara. Let me remind you that Lord Vishnu, being the Almighty himself, during the Krishna avatar accepted Maharshi Sandipany as his teacher, during the Rama Avatar accepted Vishvaamitra as his teacher. I just wanted to make a note, that's all. I like reading your articles and I fully respect your points. Keep going.
