Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 I came across an article by Sister Gayatriprana in the Sri Sarada Society Notes. Sister Gayatriprana's observation regarding the unique teachings of Swami Vivekananda comes across as Quoting from the article: " All this is verily Brahman, Ramakrishna - Vivekananda Vedanta has brought a new approach, applying the core truth of Vedanta not only to spiritual (i.e. subjective) realms, but also to the objective facts of experience, what we have thus far called the world of science " End of quote. This observation goes to the heart of the matter. Very few devotees of Sri Ramakrishna or Swami Vivekananda can spot this aspect of his teachings. There is a very 'old fashioned idea' that what we call external world is somehow 'secondary'. What nonsense! There stands Brahman in all its glory - but we do not want that!! We want some ' - mystical - magical - speculative, debating - Brahman... hiding in a subtle manner in some ancient scriptures.. This century will replace these old ideas with a more direct approach through science. An approach that will benefit mankind in the grandest manner. Spirituality is not something that just belonged to some ancient golden Vedic age... It is alive and kicking and will continue to manifest itself in a more vibrant and unusual manner in the days to come. jay Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
