#103, All of you are Saadhus and great saints

Swami Vivekananda wrote to Swami Brahmananda (Rakhal) from San Francisco, on Mar. 12, 1900:

"... Evil actions leave none scot-free; Mother never spares anybody. I admit my actions have been wrong. Now, brother, all of you are Saadhus and great saints, kindly pray to the Mother that I do not have to shoulder all this trouble and burden any longer. ... "


BLOGGER'S VIEWs
*What are these evil actions which Swamiji himself is admitting?
*Why did he feel that he would not be left scot-free?
*Why the sarcasm?
*What will happen to his slogan "Arise, awake and stop not till thy goal is achieved"

worst blog i have ever visited. swamiji feels that in administrating the math unavoidably some decisions hurt some of the math members and that hurting the co disciples by taking strong decisions is the mistake being admitted here...........however one can easily see that it is not a mistake but rather he said so that to boost the morale of math members........I think u are dedicated to make black spots o the character of swamiji...........worst thing to do.........go and get some nice job

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.
