#51,Do not go about begging from the Hindu beggars!

Swami Vivekananda wrote to Alasinga (chief disciple at Madras), from U.S.A. on May 6, 1895:

"... Do not go about begging from the Hindu beggars. I will do it all myself with my own brain and strong right hand. I do not want the help of any man here or in India. . . . Do not press too much the Ramakrishna Avataara ... "


*Were Hindus beggars?
*Did he do everything with his own bain?
*Did he do everything with his strong right hand?
*Does n't want the help of any man here (US) or in India!
*Wants the help of only American women?
*He pretended to beg American women for his lofty goals. But he begged for his personal maintenance.
*Ready even to ignore his Guru 'Ramakrishna"
*Vivekananda's ire against Hindus was that donations were not pouring as expected by him, initially. Today, the same Hindu beggars donate millions to build memorials for him!

I shall not impose my views on you. ANSWERS: I am not here to pass any value judgements on Vivekananda's character or lifestyle. My objects here are to find out facts and examine how they differ from the generally held views of millions of Indians who worship him, reading the literature published by the Managers of his Cult. These things have now become contextually important...

Ms. Henrietta Muller was a major contributor to the purchase of the land for the Belur Math. On 15th May 1899, the American Newspaper Nagautuck Daily News published an item quoting a Mumbai newspaper her as saying that she is face to face with the unavoidable conclusion that it is utterly rotten and corrupt from beginning to end and full of danger to the unhappy people who place their faith in it.
