She is closely >associated with the Ramakrishna and the Aurbindo movements. > >I talked with her at length about the work she does. >Her life can best be described as a perfect example of dedication to >an ideal! She has been giving spiritual talks to an audience in London for >the past fortnight. At the end of her series of talks the devotees offered >her an envelope with some cash. She opened the envelope, added >some of her own money to it and returned it to the group, telling them >to use it for the work they are doing! > >In the summer a great many 'gurus' descend on London but none >(as far as I know) behave in such an awkward manner : ) > >I asked her how she was drawn into doing spiritual work. >She replied that when she was in the 7th grade (at the age of 11) >she came across the lifestory of Sri Ramakrishna. She was enthralled. >That encounter changed her life. > >The moral of this tale is simple : Watch out - keep away from >the 'old man' unless you want your life to be turned upside down. > >: ) jay >Vivekananda Centre London > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Sri Ramakrishnaye Namah >Vivekananda Centre London >http://www.vivekananda.co.uk > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
