A Changing Profile in Literary, Creative, and Other Activities (1985-1989) 3. New Developments in the Vedanta Movement in the West (1990-1999) 4. The New Millennium (2000-2018) 1. The Years After Swami Prabhavananda’s Passing (1976-1984) wami Prabhavananda brought the initial, brilliant phase of literary work at the Vedanta Society of Southern California S (VSSC) to a close with his English translation of and commentary on Narada’s Way of Divine Love: The Bhakti Sutras of Narada published by Vedanta Press in 1971. The period after Prabhavananda’s passing in 1976 was, of course, one of change and readjustment for the members of the VSSC, but its literary efforts continued. Christopher Isherwood was the only remaining widely known professional writer affiliating himself with the Vedanta Movement in Southern California, but new sources of intellectual and cultural creativity came from within the movement itself. A unique aspect of the Vedanta Society is that it offers its members an opportunity to become creatively involved, in sharp contrast to a more traditional church in which a member’s chief function is to attend a weekly religious talk. The Vedanta Society became, in effect, a “people’s organization” in which a large percentage of the members themselves would use their talents for the betterment of the Society. Members of the monastic and lay congregation became actively involved in the writing of books, publication of articles, composition of hour-long musicals, production of art, and all aspects of religious plays.

    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. Memories of Swami Prabuddhananda MEMORIES OF SWAMI PRABUDDHANANDA RAMAKRISHNA MATH Phone PBX: 033-2654- (The Headquarters) 1144/1180 P.O. 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.

    The year 2013 is a very important year in the eventful calendar of the Ramakrishna Mission. This year happens to be the 150th Birthday Anniversary of Swami Vivekanada. Swamiji, as we call him, life’s mission was to propagate the teachings of the Vedanta, in the light of realisation of Sri Ramakrishna who is his master, throughout the world. “Swamiji has left behind a rich legacy for the future generations, in his writings on the four yogas, speeches, poetic compositions, epistles etc are in his book of complete works of Swami Vivekanda.” His birthday celebration has been celebrated throughout the world, of note in January 2013 UK Parliament recognised the valuable contribution made by Swamaji. The statement from the UK Parliament is: “ That this House, on the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, recognises the valuable contribution made by him to interfaith dialogue at international level, encouraging and promoting harmony and understanding between religions through his renowned lectures and presentations at the first World Parliament of the Religions in Chicago in 1893, followed by his lecture tours in the US and England and mainland Europe; notes that these rectified and improved the understanding of the Hindu faith outside India and dwelt upon universal goodness found within all religions; further notes that he inspired thousands to selflessly serve the distressed and those in need and promoted an egalitarian society free of all kinds of discrimination; and welcome the celebrations of his 150th Birth Anniversary in the UK and throughout the World” Vedanta Society, Brisbane Chapter celebrated the 150th Birthday Celebration and the 176th Birthday Celebration of Sri Ramakrishna on the 9th March 2013.

The majority of Hindus believe that Krishna is the human form of the Supreme Brahman. Hindus believe in 'Avatara-Vada'. In order to help people to follow the path of righteousness, the Supreme Being comes to earth in human form and behaves like a human. The Avatar is the embodiment of the ideal person, the wise teacher, and the divine guide. The Gita contains 700 verses from chapters 25- 1. Who is the Creator? 42 of the Mahabharata. The Bhagavad Gita is 2. What is the Creation? considered to be one of the most important 3. What is the relation between Jiva (Living scriptures in Hinduism.
