Hello Mr Kathikeyan,

 

What is the purpose of this math ? Kindly

forgive me if these questions have hurt anyone.

 

What in short have your learnt from being on this

list. This list is a very very small extension of the

philosophy propounded by Monks in the Maths.

 

You seem to have a very biased opinion on monks and

the order per se. I will just tell you my experience,

Myself and my wife go to the San Francisco Math. The

Swami in charge of the mission is so kind to us, he

enquires on our spirtual progress and makes sure that

everything is allright with us. His love is more than

my mothers even though its just a few minutes every

month that he talks with us. Such is the effect that

pure souled men have on us. Any monk of the

Ramakrishna Order who wears the saffron dress is

worthy of great respect. I have had the same

experience in Hyderabad also. The monks and swamis

take great care in moulding our outlook towards life

by constantly goading to follow this path. Where would

we be if these maths ( dont call it mutt) were not

there. Would it be left to you to exhort us to follow

Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna's teachings. You cant do it.

Because the power is vested on the saffron clad fierce

renunciates of the Ramakrishna Order to teach and

spread his message. Not being allowed into the math ?

IS this a joke. Ramakrishna Math doesnt accept

religion and caste as the dividing basis.. So tell me

why you were not allowed into the math. Dont belittle

the breadth and clairvoyance which the Ramakrishna

Order has by making statements like this. The monks

preserve the spirit of Swami Vivekananda and Sri

Ramakrishna and this is done so that people can follow

by example the life lead by a monk.

 

Sri Ramakrishna said " The monk is a world teacher " By

means of renunication and austerity he exhorts worldly

people to realize that what they are holding to is

indeed false and there are higher things in life.

Vinay and Prashanti
