Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Dear sister Amitha, Are you attracted to Sri Ramakrishna, The Holy Mother, Swami Vivekanands and the philosophy of the Ramakrishna Mission? Then you should approach the nearest Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre in the US. Usually, the President and the Vice Presidents of the Ramakrishna Order are authorised to give initiation. Revered Swami Atmasthananadaji, the second Vice President of the Order usually looks after the needs of the devotees in foriegn lands. So try to find out from the center regarding his itinerary. In the meanwhile keep in touch with the Centre nearest to you (ask Jay for the list), read in detail about the lives of the Holy Trio and also make yourself conversant with the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. Use the name of Sri Ramakrishna as the mantra in your japa. Don't be weary if your initiation takes time. Good things happen at the right time. You will be in safe hands of the Ramakrishna Order where you will not have to needlessly worry at a future time whether you have made the right choice, that much I can assure you. Remember, when you feel that Sri Ramakrishna is your ishta from that time itself you come under His protection and guidance. The physical process of initiation may take time. The humble Monks of the Order always point out that it is Sri Ramakrishna who is the Guru, they are but His agents. Best of luck, Jagannath. SBC - Internet access at a great low price.
