Views of political parties about the Ramakrishna Movement.

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimhaji,

 

Namaste. I am happy to inform you that there has been a subtle shift

in the attitude of the ruling party in West Bengal towards our Order.

For the first time in history the current Education Secretary has

congratulated the Math for its fantastic results in the schools run

by it. The current Chief Minister is favourably disposed towards the

Math unlike his predecessor.

 

However it will still take a lot of time before the ideals of our

beloved Order finds the approval of the " secular " forces. However

these " secular " forces do take the help and guidance of the Math in

their personal capacity. The Math has always charted its own course

and never aligned with any kind of political force or

movement, " secular " or not.

 

Once Swami Ranganathanandaji had come out with a wonderful statement

while addressing the Parliamentarians. " Secularism, " he had

sagaciously pointed out, " is not Godlessness. It is the equal

treatment of all religions. " Guess the Parliamentarians were shocked

by his statement.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
