#68, DID HIS SPIRIT APPEAR TO MRS. BULL AND AUROBINDO?

Mrs. Ole Bull was widow of Mr. Ole Bull ,a famous Norwegian violinist. Swami Vivekananda addressed her "Courageous Mother - Dhiira Maata". Unlike some other American women, Mrs. Bull befriended Vivekananda till his and her death.


Here is a newspaper clipping available at www.Vivekananda.net.

Mrs. Ole Bull was very philonthropic and helped several noble causes. She helped Belur Math also financially. Vivekananda inducted her into monkhood in 1899 (his second visit) at Ridgely Manor resort.

She died in 1911. It appears that she suffered from visions of the spirit of Vivekananda visiting her. Vivekananda died in 1902. The newspaper clipping available at the above link is a deposition by one of her heirs in an American court stating that Mrs.Ole Bull suffered from visions of the spirit of Swami Vivekananda.

Shri Aurobindo also in one of his conversations claimed that he saw the spirit of Swami Vivekananda.

Ans: Yes. The questions of beef eating and alcohol consumption really matter, for "parama hamsas" (Great Swans) and UPLIFTERS-OF-NATIONS, like Swami Vivekananda. They do not matter for ordinary hoi pollois like you and me. Question: Thousands of Vivekananda devotees seem to hold a view: *Was Vivekananda not entitled to his quota of fun? *What was wrong in Vivekananda's eating beef? *What was wrong in Vivekananda's consuming alcohol? *What was wrong in Vivekananda's smoking cigars? ybrao-a-donkey's humble comments. वैबीराव एक गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావ్ గాడిద వినమ్ర నివేదన. 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.
