Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 On 27th of April we had arranged a talk by Swami Nikhileshwaranandaji of the RK Porbandar Centre who is visiting the UK. After the talk we had an opportunity for a frank discussion with the Swami and we told him that we are doing our best to instil the teachings of Vivekananda not only in the Hindu youth we come across; but more importantly in the Western youth we address. We are quite sure that in the very near future it is in England (and not the USA) that Swami Vivekananda's ideas will gain a real foothold. It is only after these ideas become assimilated on this soil will they turn potent and ready for acceptance in other parts of the world including India. Only after the Western youth exhibit appreciation of Vivekananda will the Indian youth recognise his true majesty. This is because mentally, we are still a slave nation dependant on the judgements and pronouncements of the West! jay Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most nations in the world are slave nations dependent on the leadership of beings that have learned to control others, this will change as individuals recognize the divinity of their own being.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Vivekananda: And how to speak of their kindness! I have no more wants now. I am well off, and all the money that I require to visit Europe I shall get from here... I am now out of want. Many of the hansomest houses of the city are open to me. All the time I am living as a guest of somebody or other. There is a curiosity in this nation such as you meet with nowhere else. They want to know everything, and their women-- they are the most advanced in the world. The men slave all their lives for money, and the women snatch every opportunity to improve themselves. And they are very frank, kind-hearted people. The Americans have their faults too, and what nation has not? But this is my summing up. Asia laid the gems of civilization, Europe developed man, and America is developing women and the masses.... --- Vivekananda Centre <vivekananda wrote: > > On 27th of April we had arranged a talk by Swami > Nikhileshwaranandaji of the RK Porbandar Centre who > is visiting the UK.
