Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Great thoughts friends - reg. christmas celebration (robin, samudra, seshadri,) I think this is because as Swamiji says, religion is a part of their(euro. & American's) requirement. But hindu way of life is completely religious. That's why we see there is a clash in the culture. Also i feel small text of Mr.Ananta's ( on swamiji's work) doesn't carry the Swamiji's idea completely. I am of the opinion that Swamiji conveys his ideas through one complete lecture but not in parts of it. If a small text has to be quoted then Gurumaharaj's gosepl will be a good alternative.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Der Sumudra and Robin Hood, You can't judge the spirit of Christmas by going to a pub, nor by one grouchy individual. Try a Christmas Eve midnight service or Christmas day service, of course in a Christian church. And if there's time today, open your ears to hear from strangers everywhere, " Merry Christmas! " " Happy Holidays " These greetings are full of love for fellow man, which was Christ's primary teaching, though his name is not mentioned. We must stretch ourselves to understand what we are not familiar with. Do try.
