The article " The Relevance of Vivekananda's Economic Thought " focuses so much on the thing that does not exist! 2. Swami Vivekananda was never involved directly or indirectly in politics or Indian Freedom Movement. He had clearly said no to politics while laying foundation of Ramakrishna Order. It is later day scholars who try to find, invent, or imagine connection and role of Swamiji related with Indian politics, economy, British Rule, Sociology, etc. However, the only mission of Swami Vivekananda was to broadcast the message of his Master, Sri Ramakrishna, all over the globe. The message was short and clear: The aim of human birth is to realize God. 3. Such articles have no value, for they are misdirected and do not conform to the facts; and are therefore irrelevant. 4. It is not necessary to comment on these articles; for, a sadhaka can never win against the vast majority of educated pundits for whom Spirituality, Vedanta, God Realization are mere words. 5. One should never be surprised by anything; many more comments shall be made on the life, teachings, and sayings of the Holy Trio; both in praise and in criticism.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 It is very important to raise our voice and put our views across on this act of gross blasphemy of Swami Vivekananda's efforts. It is highly saddening to note how an Indian who also claims to be a son of this soil can write like that about one of India's greatest patriots. Spiritualism(Deiva-Bhakti) and Patriotism (Desa-Bhakti) have run parallel all along in our great rulers and spiritual leaders of the past. For only one who appreciates the glory of this land, (Bhaaratha Desam), can appreciate the value of this culture (Sanatana-Dharmam) and understand what the Vedas are talking about. There are clear injunctions for the rulers and the priests spelt out in the Vedas, failing which great disasters would befall the public (the Praja). That's exactly what Swami wanted to create awareness about. HE wanted to point out how these responsible people had failed to live upto their expectations and failed in their duties, owing to which the masses were suffering. For the most immediate cause, Swami wanted to raise funds for the common man and impart secular education. But he was very clear in pointing out the rectifications required by the rulers and priests to recover from the crisis that India was in. It was Sri Ramakrishna's grace that was flowing through Vivekanda's actions at every step. Vivekananda had a purpose and the purpose was willed by his Guru, who was God incarnate. So there are no mistakes that are possible when God executes his will. Vivekananda's words and actions are to be valued very seriously and not commented upon by such people of lesser knowledge. I request the moderators and the appropriate heads of Vivekananda foundations to take note of this and make sure this great " Aparaadham " is undone. -- Pradeep Ramakrishna, Prashanti Mamidi <kprashanti> wrote: > > http://www.samachar.com/features/210802_1-fpj.html > Please reply to this posting appropriately. > Regds > Vinay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 << It is very important to raise our voice and put our views across on this act of gross blasphemy of Swami Vivekananda's efforts. >> There have been critical articles of Swamiji in the past, and, there will undoubtely be critical articles of Swamiji in the future. Remember how he was slandered and criticized when he came to America. It is " very important " for us to remember how Swamiji reacted to such criticisms and slanderous articles.....He demonstrated the very saintly quality of being indifferent to praise and to blame....

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Namaste, Two metaphors that stand out in the sayings/writings of these sages: Thakurji: " The vulture soars very high, but its sight is on rotting carrion only! " Swamiji: " A crow can relieve itself sitting on the head of the statue of a sage and think highly of itself! So what?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi, In that article, bhajans are described as " erotic songs " . So you can understand the objective of the article and the perception of the author. The article can be straight away discarded as junk. With regards, Gomu. ===== --------------- Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ --------------- ______________________ Want to sell your car? advertise on Autos Classifieds.
