Brother William Date: 12/31/2007 Subject: villifying swami vivekananda Question i have come across some one villifying swami vivekananda. could u check out his blog and tell me if he is right or wrong. it pains me to read such trash being written about him but some of it seems with some proof. vivekanandayb.blogspot.com is the site. Answer given by Mr. William Schindler: Answer Dear RJ, Thank you for your question. I checked the link you provided. It is easy to criticize but difficult to build something positive.

Slaves feel they have no power to change their situation, so they turn their anger on their own kind, who make easy targets. Look at th...
