Here he learnt of the illness of Balaram Bose, one of the early disciples of Ramakrishna. He went to varanasi to see him. While at Ghazipur earlier, he had heard of Surendranath Mitra, another lay disciple of Ramakrishna was on death bed. All this news made Narendra very sad. Pramadadas , the sanskrit scholar and friend was surprised that a monk would have all these emotions. Narendra told him, “ Dont think that just because I'm a monk I don’t have feelings, we are not dry monks. We care about people”. Soon both Balaram Bose and Surendranath mitra passed away. Narendra was determined to be focussed on his goal and there was lot of turbulence in him mind also. He was thinking about the status of hindus in india who were attracted by the materialism of the west. Every time narendra was focussed on attaining bliss (samadhi), he would hear the voices of people stuggling in poverty and ignorance. Gradually, Narendra came to realize that his life was not be a regular sadhu, interested in his own moksha.

  • Swami Vivekananda's Devotion to His Mother Bhuvaneshwari Devi
    Swami Vivekananda’s Devotion to His Mother Bhuvaneshwari Devi By Swami Tathagatananda The study of the cultural history of the world gives us an insight about the deep impact of religion on human development. Religious ideals, unflinching faith in divinity and a spiritual orientation permeate daily life. To understand a culture, we must evaluate the harmonious religious values of that culture. The English historian Christopher Dawson expressed this view: . throughout the greater part of mankind’s history, in all ages and states of society, religion has been the great unifying force in our culture. It has been the guardian of tradition, the preserver of the moral law, the educator and the teacher of wisdom. In all ages, the first creative works of a culture are due to a religious inspiration and dedicated to a religious end. The spiritual and ethical culture of any race preserves its noble characteristics. Swamiji says, “It is a change of the soul itself for the better that alone will cure the evils of life.” In his lecture, “The Future of India, Swamiji highlights the true role of culture: It is culture that withstands shocks, not a simple mass of knowledge. You can put a mass of knowledge into the world, but that will not do it much good. There must come culture into the blood. We all know in modern times of nations which have masses of knowledge, but what of them? They are like tigers, they are like savages, because culture is not there. Knowledge is only skin-deep, as civilization is, and a little scratch brings out the old savage.

  • Shri Ramakrishna and the Common Person
    Shri Ramakrishna And The Common Person By Swami Tathagatananda An Incarnation Of Love Brahman the ultimate Reality is characterized by Satchidananda—sat, chit, and ananda. Sat is Pure Consciousness, the changeless ground of all existence. Chit is self-Awareness or limitless Knowledge, meaning self-luminous and spiritual amidst all material objects. Ananda is intrinsic Bliss, which we enjoy in life in our own way. The Taittiriya Upanishad says that Divinity is “the soul of truth, the delight of the life, and the bliss of mind, the fullness of peace and eternity.” The Infinite and Absolute Being, out of love for suffering humanity, accepts suffering by being born as a human being. Satchidananda comes to us as the Avatara—the Avatara is God in human form. The Avatara comes to inundate the world with a flood of divine compassion which brings life-transforming spiritual vibrations to the entire universe. Shri Ramakrishna, the Avatara of the modern age, is the Incarnation of love. He is the living God Satchidananda. According to Shri Ramakrishna, “It is God alone who incarnates Himself as man to teach people the ways of love and knowledge.” Shri Ramakrishna says: And we see God Himself if we but see His Incarnation. If you seek God, then seek Him in man; He manifests Himself more in man than in any other thing. If you see a man endowed with ecstatic love, overflowing with prema, mad after God, intoxicated with His love, then know for certain that God has incarnated Himself through that man. There is no doubt that God exists in all things; but the manifestations of His power are different in different beings.

One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam light a room, One candle wipe out darkness, One laugh will conquer gloom. One step must start each journey, One word must start each prayer.

(Anonymous) Viveka or Discrimination Swami Dayatmananda Awareness Discrimination, dispassion, control over body and mind, and intense yearning - these are the four prerequisites before one even steps onto the path of a spiritual life. Viveka or discrimination is the very first and most important of these requirements. Discrimination is the ability to correctly evaluate the lesser from the higher and choose the higher. Naturally it needs acute intelligence and a strong will. Discrimination is a very practical pursuit and not an armchair exercise. The test of true Viveka is the ability to give up what is tested and found to be of lower value.

  • LETTERS (Fifth Series)
    LETTERS (Fifth Series) I Balaram Bose, February 6, 1890, Ghazipur Glory to Ramakrishna [Ghazipur February 6, 1890] Respected Sir, I have talked with Pavhari Baba. He is a wonderful saint__the embodiment of humility, devotion, and Yoga. Although he is an orthodox Vaishnava, he is not prejudiced against others of different beliefs. He has tremendous love for Mahâprabhu Chaitanya, and he [Pavhari Baba] speaks of Shri Ramakrishna as "an incarnation of God". He loves me very much, and I am going to stay here for some days at his request. Pavhari Baba can live in Samâdhi for from two to six months at a stretch. He can read Bengali and has kept a photograph of Shri Ramakrishna in his room. I have not yet seen him face to face, since he speaks from behind a door, but I have never heard such a sweet voice. I have many things to say about him but not just at present. Please try to get a copy of Chaitanya-Bhâgavata for him and send it immediately to the following address: Gagan Chandra Roy, Opium Department, Ghazipur. Please don't forget. Pavhari Baba is an ideal Vaishnava and a great scholar; but he is reluctant to reveal his learning. His elder brother acts as his attendant, but even he is not allowed to enter his room. Please send him a copy of Chaitanya-Mangala also, if it is still in print. And remember that if Pavhari Baba accepts your presents, that will be your great fortune. Ordinarily, he does not accept anything from anybody. Nobody knows what he eats or even what he does.
