you are a missionary man.

REPLY
I believe that you are calling me a Christian missionary.

I assure you, sir, that I am not a Christian missionary.

I support , as on date, atheism and Marxism. I am not going to be an adamant, and obstinate blind atheist or Marxist. We can always reexamine our thought processes whenever fresh evidence is available.

I am aware that Christian missionaries are creating havoc in India by their reckless abuse of Hindu Gods. But, how you will you respond to it? I shall suggest, that this can be done efficiently by cleansing Hinduism.

Vivekananda made a facade of supporting the cause of Hinduism by taking up some lecturing and charity work. But, he ended up as a beggar before the houses of American aristocratic women, mobilising a few bucks for his own personal maintenance.

Just as Christian monks (Fathers, Bishops and Pastors etc.) cannot cleanse Christianity, Hindu monks, swamis, anandas, saraswatis, bharatis cannot cleanse Hinduism. My friend, please note, I am not on a job of cleansing Hinduism. This is to be done by every Hindu both poor and rich. Hindus are , at present, more enamored with cricket and Shirdi Sai Baba.

My mission at this blog : Provide facts, to the best of my ability. Express my ideas dispassionately. I do not mind revising these ideas, when you come forward with fresh ideas.

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

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

230 Rev. Barrows - Give me beef

2016 India is agog with countrywide demands for ban on cow-slaughter, and ban on beef eating. For millions of Indians, Swami Vivekananda is the role model. They are eager to produce hundreds of Vivekanandas. But many Indians do not know about Vivekananda's three B's slogan: Bhagavad Gita, Biceps, Beef. Here is one conversation, from the Reminescences of Dr. John Henry Barrow which suggests that Swami Vivekananda was not averse to consuming beef. *The Outlook* *July 17, 1897 * Dr. John Henry Barrow's reminiscences of Vivekananda (9/11/93) Dr. Barrows says: "After the first session of the Parliament of Religions I went with Vivekananda to the restaurant in the basement of the Art Institute, and I said to him, 'What shall I get you to eat?' His reply was "Give me beef !"" ybrems --The Outlook - was the name of the magazine, which published the report. Year of publication was July 1897. --Dr. John Henry Barrows (Reverend Barrows) was one of th
