  • Reminiscences of Swami Prabuddhananda
    Reminiscences of Swami Prabuddhananda India 2010 These precious memories of Swami Prabuddhanandaji are unedited. Since this collection is for private distribution, there has been no attempt to correct or standardize the grammar, punctuation, spelling or formatting. The charm is in their spontaneity and the heartfelt outpouring of appreciation and genuine love of this great soul. May they serve as an ongoing source of inspiration.

BELUR MATH, DIST: FAX: 033-2654-4346 HOWRAH Email: [email protected] WEST BENGAL : 711202, INDIA Website: www.belurmath.org April 27, 2015 Dear Virajaprana, I am glad to receive your e-mail of April 24, 2015. Swami Prabuddhanandaji and myself met for the first time at the Belur Math in the year 1956 where both of us had come to receive our Brahmacharya-diksha—he from Bangalore and me from Bombay. Since then we had close connection with each other. We met again at the Belur Math in the year 1960 where we came for our Sannyasa-diksha from Most Revered Swami Sankaranandaji Maharaj. I admired his balanced approach to everything that had kept the San Francisco centre vibrant. In 2000 A.D. he had invited me to San Francisco to attend the Centenary Celebrations of the San Francisco centre. He took me also to Olema and other retreats on the occasion. Once he came just on a visit to meet the old Swami at the Belur Math. In sum, Swami Prabuddhanandaji was an asset to our Order, and his leaving us is a great loss.

  • Vision of Freedom Om
    1 Vision of Freedom Om. A-sa-to ma sad gam-ma-ya. Ta-ma-so-ma jyo-tir gam-ma-ya. Mri-tyor ma a-mri-tam ga-ma-ya. Avir avir ma e-dhi. Rudra yat te dak-shi-nam mu-kham. Tena mam pahi nityam. Tena mam pahi nityam. Tena mam pahi nityam. Lead us from the unreal to the Real. Lead us from darkness unto Light. Lead us from death to Immortality. Reveal to us Thy Resplendent Truth and evermore protect us, Oh Lord, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face. Happy Fourth of July! To the American, fourth of July carries with it lots of emotions, because on this day in 1776, America declared freedom. Since then, fourth of July has been a very sacred day, not merely to the Americans, but also to others who love freedom. Freedom is a great aspiration of human life. You could say, it begins with the baby in the womb of the mother. If you could read the baby’s mind, the baby would say, “How miserable is this existence. I want freedom. I want freedom. I want freedom.” And when the baby emerges and has a vision of the sky, has a vision of the mother, then the baby… the baby’s feeling you could imagine. As the baby grows, this idea of freedom also grows. The baby, the child, the youth, the young man, the householder, whatever situation we reach, that sense of freedom, the ideal of freedom, goes with us.

  • Swami Vivekananda: the Prophet of Vedanta Om
    1 Swami Vivekananda: the Prophet of Vedanta Om. A-sa-to ma sad gam-ma-ya. Ta-ma-so-ma jyo-tir gam-ma-ya. Mri-tyor ma a-mri-tam ga-ma-ya. Avir avir ma e-dhi. Rudra yat te dak-shi-nam mu-kham.

Reveal to us Thy Resplendent Truth and evermore protect us, Oh Lord, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face, by Thy Sweet and Compassionate Face. The subject of my talk this morning is: Swami Vivekananda, the prophet of Vedanta. Swami Vivekananda was born in 1863. He came to this country when he was about thirty years old in 1893. He had a good college education, but from his early boyhood, his heart was very much inclined to spiritual pursuits. He wandered in many places, came to many teachers, scholars, but nobody could satisfy him. The deeper questions that were disturbing his mind, could not be resolved by any scholar or [by] any religious man at that time-- around Calcutta of course. Calcutta was the city where he was born. Eventually he met Sri Ramakrishna, a simple holy man without an education, but who had realized the highest spiritual truth in many ways. As you know his very well known utterance, “As many ways, so many paths.” That means all religions lead eventually to the same destiny, namely God.

Ghose at the Lakshmi Printing WorJ 64-1, 64-2, Sukea Street, Calcutta. PREFACE. In presenting this little book of the late Sister Nivedita to the public, the Editor has taken care to correct only a few minor inaccuracies as regards facts that crept into it, when it appeared as a series of articles in the Brahmavadin of Madras, The Chapter headings and a short Synopsis of the contents of each are also his chapter ; and the letter has been joined to the book, to make it con venient for the reader to find out things dealt with in it, whenever he feels so disposed. In conclusion he hopes that the book, which offers bright glimpses of the yet undiscovered nooks of the private life of the great Swami Vivekananda, and the period of training through which the much lamented Sister Nivedita had to pass in the hands bf her Master, ere she came out before the public gaze as the wonderful champion of truth and justice and righteousness and of the cause of India will meet with the warm reception at the hands of the public, that it fully deserves.

  • The Song of the Sannyasin, Poem by Swami Vivekananda a Blessing
    The Song of the Sannyasin, Poem By Swami Vivekananda (This short poem is an excerpt from 'The Song of the Sannyasin' by Swamiji) Have thou no home, What home can hold thee, friend? The sky thy roof, the grass thy bed; and food What chance may bring, well-cooked or ill, judge not. No food or drink can taint that noble Self Which knows Itself. Like rolling river free Thou ever be, Sannyasin bold! say -"OM TAT SAT OM". A Blessing, Poem By Swami Vivekananda (The following poetry is a selection from works of Swami Vivekananda and was written to Miss Alberta Sturges from Perrors Guirec, Brittany, France , on September 22, 1900.) The Mother's heart, the hero's will, The softest flowers' sweetest feel; The charm and force that ever sway The altar-fire's flaming play; The strength that leads, in love obeys; Far-reaching dreams, and patient ways, Eternal faith in Self, in all, The light Divine in great, in small; All these and more than I could see, Today may "Mother" grant to thee! Thou Blessed Dream, Poem By Swami Vivekananda If things go ill or well- If joy rebounding spreads the face, Or sea of sorrows swells- It is a dream, a play. A play- we each have a part Each one to weep or laugh as may; Each one his dress to don- Alternate shine or rain. Thou dream, O blessed dream! Spread far and near thy veil of haze, Tone down the lines so sharp, Make smooth what roughness seems. No magic but in thee! Thy touch makes desert bloom to life, Harsh thunder, sweetest song, Fell death, the sweet release.

  • Religion Was High and He Believed in Jesus As One of the Many Christs and Not the Only Christ
    THE MEHER MESSAGE [Vol. I ] December, 1929 [ No. 12] An Avatar Meher Baba Trust eBook July 2020 All words of Meher Baba copyright © Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust Ahmednagar, India Source: The Meher Message THE MEHERASHRAM INSTITUTE ARANGAON AHMEDNAGAR Proprietor and Editor.—Kaikhushru Jamshedji Dastur M.A., LL.B. eBooks at the Avatar Meher Baba Trust Web Site The Avatar Meher Baba Trust's eBooks aspire to be textually exact though non-facsimile reproductions of published books, journals and articles. With the consent of the copyright holders, these online editions are being made available through the Avatar Meher Baba Trust's web site, for the research needs of Meher Baba's lovers and the general public around the world. Again, the eBooks reproduce the text, though not the exact visual likeness, of the original publications. They have been created through a process of scanning the original pages, running these scans through optical character recognition (OCR) software, reflowing the new text, and proofreading it. Except in rare cases where we specify otherwise, the texts that you will find here correspond, page for page, with those of the original publications: in other words, page citations reliably correspond to those of the source books. But in other respects-such as lineation and font- the page designs differ. Our purpose is to provide digital texts that are more readily downloadable and searchable than photo facsimile images of the originals would have been. Moreover, they are often much more readable, especially in the case of older books, whose discoloration and deteriorated condition often makes them partly illegible.

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.
