VIVEKANANDA PRACTICE QUOTE
Vivekananda wrote to Ms. Marie Halboister from Almora on July 25, 1897.

"... In a few days I am going down to the plains and from thence go to the Western parts of the mountains. When it is cooler in the plains, I will make a lecture tour all over and see what work can be done. ..."


BLOGGER'S VIEWs
*Will lecture only when it is cool.
*There should not be malaria.
*There should not be plague.
*People: Wait, till it is cool!

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

Image
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.

239 Do the questions of beef eating - drinking and smoking by Vivekananda really matter?

Image
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...

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

Image
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...
