  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

  • Spiritual Conversations with Swami Shankarananda Swami Tejasananda English Translation by Swami Satyapriyananda (Continued from the Previous Issue)
    2 THE ROAD TO WISDOM Swami Vivekananda on Significance of Symbols—III n the heart of all these ritualisms, there Istands one idea prominent above all the rest—the worship of a name. Those of you who have studied the older forms of Christianity, those of you who have studied the other religions of the world, perhaps have marked that there is this idea with them all, the worship of a name. A name is said to be very sacred. In the Bible we read that the holy name of God was considered sacred beyond compare, holy consciously or unconsciously, man found beyond everything. It was the holiest of all the glory of names. names, and it was thought that this very Again, we find that in many different Word was God. This is quite true. What is religions, holy personages have been this universe but name and form? Can you worshipped. They worship Krishna, they think without words? Word and thought worship Buddha, they worship Jesus, and so are inseparable. Try if anyone of you can forth. Then, there is the worship of saints; separate them. Whenever you think, you hundreds of them have been worshipped all are doing so through word forms. The one over the world, and why not? The vibration brings the other; thought brings the word, of light is everywhere. The owl sees it in the and the word brings the thought. Thus the dark. That shows it is there, though man whole universe is, as it were, the external cannot see it. To man, that vibration is only symbol of God, and behind that stands visible in the lamp, in the sun, in the moon, His grand name.

  • UNFATHOMABLE RAY Reflections Around Swami Gambhirananda
    . UNFATHOMABLE RAY Reflections around Swami Gambhirananda Exploring spirituality through the life of a simple monk (c)mountainzone.com a FreeBook by Bibhas De Copyright 2004 - 2018 by Bibhas R. De. All rights reserved. This eBook is provided free of charge for your reading pleasure! PREFACE During a recent Internet search on Swami Gambhirananda, a great deal of information turned up on his writings, as expected. Surprisingly though, there was very little about the Swami himself. The only item I found was an advertisement for a videocassette produced on the occasion of his passing away. It seemed that the story of a most remarkable life was receding into oblivion, with the world never hearing. There were also things remarkable about the family background whence he came. These are what prompted me to write something about him. What is remarkable about the Swami's life? Here is a life that in the end does not make you so much look at the man in admiration, as it makes you look within yourself in reflection. What is remarkable about his family background? Spiritual stirrings in everyday men and women. This is not a biography. All biographical anecdotes about the Swami here are taken from Swami Gambhirananda, the biography written (in Bengali) by Swami Abhayananda and published by Sri Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, Howrah (1989). Nor is this a study of the Swami's scholarly work - for that one may go to the work itself. Here I have culled a bunch of wildflowers, and run a thread clumsily through them to fashion a garland.
