Part 1 of total 10 series, of Musings on Covid 19 Pandemic, viewed from the angle of Ancient Indian Philosophical and Sanskrit Literature. What I am writing here is not final. These are only musings, in the context of about 150,000 deaths as at 20th April 2020, which have taken place, mostly in Europe and USA, as a result of the widespread pandemic Covid-19. We shall start with our Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. By his reputation our Honorable Prime Minister is a vegetarian . His role-model swami Vivekananda was not only a non-vegetarian but also a staunch supporter of Meat-eating. Our Honorable Prime Minister's Guru's Guru Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa was a vegetarian , but if he was given meat offered to the Goddess, he used to hold it up to his head. Here is a quote from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 4, page 486. '...About vegetarian diet I have to say this - first, my Master was a vegetarian; but if he was given meat offered to the

Here are replies to comments dated 2nd Sept. 2019 of Shri Unknown, at my post No. 239. Unknown said… Dear Friend, Vivekananda was a lion among sheeps. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose gave all credit of Indian Freedom Struggle to the teachings of Vivekananda. Indian Monks and Gods were not like non-voilent Buddhists. He practiced openly Non-vegetarianism, smoking etc without any hiding. You perhaps don't know that even today these things are offered to him during his Tithi Puja. He earned money with great hard work of lecturing in USA and UK. There used to be ticket to listen him. Imagine when your great grandfather were licking the boots of britishers, Vivekananda was criticizing them in the land of their originele UK and USA. September 2, 2019 at 7:56 AM REPLY 1. Sorry for delay. About "lion among sheeps" This lion was so timid that he had to sacrifice sheep to Goddess Durga Pooja. Does Goddess Mother Durga ask her human sons to sacrifice Goats? Goats and Sheep are

Shri Aseem Mishra commented on 22.9.2013 at this blog Post No.239 dt. 23.9.2012. Aseem Mishra said… Please go and read and most importantly understand if you are not funded to do this...vyadh gita...which tells you as in all of vedanta and vedas that it is the inner motive or mental schemata(which you cant know of him or others)that brings spiritual growth and realisation and not external works...even vivekananda has explianed these things...and we have such ideals that Lord shiv remained absorbed in samadhi even when he was offered a prasad of bhaang(intoxicating substance) ashes from graves(highly ominous substance) and he could transform everything into powerful prasad...to highlight is that negative is not suprem power in the universe but real knowledge...why are you guys obsessed in character assassination of any one who is not christian!!

280 A comparison by Shri Girish Shahane, of Photo consciousness of Gandhiji, Ambedkar, and Swami Vivekananda, in the matter of photo-consciousness

Here is a link to a beautiful analysis dated 11th Sept. 2017, by Shri Girish Shahane, at https://scroll.in/article/850441/vivekananda-laid-much-of-the-ideological-foundation-for-the-politics-of-sectarianism-in-modern-india . The occasion, was a speech delivered by Hon. Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, while commemorating the 125th Anniversary of Speech delivered by Swami Vivekananda, at the Parliament of Religions, Chicago, 1893. Shri Shahane's Analysis is substantially lengthy, quite absorbing, and worth reading. Though I may not be able to agree with everything Shri Shahane wrote, at this point of time, I am not equipped to write my views covering all the points raised by him. However, many of them, are worth agreeing with. Right now, I shall cover one or two the most interesting items. My doubts about the genuineness of the Speech given by Swami Vivekananda at the World Parliament. Reasons: In my personal view, the hidden object of World Parliament of Relig

279 Mr. Donald Trump seems to have studied in the College of Swami Vivekananda

Mr. Donald Trump is the President of United States. Swami Vivekananda was an Indian Monk who extensively toured United States from 1893 to 1902 (with a gap), starting with the purpose of attending the World Congress of Religions 1893, Chicago. During the period, he had given lectures in American Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, New York on Religion. He had also established in U.S., monasteries of his cult. He passed away on 4th July 1902, 4th July being the Day of American Independence. Many of his disciples and Indians believe that Vivekananda chose his date of mahA NirvANa as the 4th July-American Independence, to commemorate the inseparable link his life had with the Americas.
