ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

[@naomiseraphina9718]

Thank you so very much, Swami, for giving this beautiful talk about the life and spiritual journey of Sri Ramakrishna! I appreciate these stories and thoughts more than I can tell you. Advaita Vedanta itself helps me to make sense of the visionary experiences I have been blessed enough to receive, but I fear that if I had never had them, then all the lovely rational arguments and explanations about Brahman and Atman, etc. would not have moved me toward actual faith and actual experiences of the Divine in my daily life. Thanks to the glories that I have beheld and thanks to the eloquent and patient way that you describe and unfold Advaita Vedanta for the seekers of the world, I am filled with the divine light every day... but I owe one more huge debt of thanks, and that is to Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramakrisha, and of course, Ma Sarada Devi herself. I owe the greatest debt of all to Holy Mother. These divine incarnations and the experiences they underwent, as well as the things they told and described to their contemporaries make the journey all the more possible for uneducated heathens such as myself. There is a precious doorway opened when the divine presence takes on a human form, for we can see both the light of God and the childlike faltering nature of humanity entwined, and somehow that co-mingling of forces beckons us all toward God. We are shown that it can be done, and that it can be as awkward and strange as it is beautiful, at times. God welcomes us all though the lives of such people, and hearing their stories is a profound and precious blessing. Thank you, thank you, and a thousand times thank you. Your light and your message are reaching farther than you can probably guess. May you be forever and in all ways blessed, dear Swami. Sincerely, Naomi.

[@nilayanmajumdar9174]

Ramakrishna was a spiritual giant, but there are many spiritually advanced beings even today of a lesser manifestation of ishwara whom we ignore simply because they don't fit the norms of society. It's very easy to hear stories of these people and be devoted, but if we met them today, chances are we would mock them or avoid them.

[@sumitdutta7043]

Obviously. Even Ramkrishna said that during Lord Rama's time only 14 sages knew what he was. Rest are like us.

There's something sublime about listening to an "Escape Artist" (a person who has escaped the vicious cycle of Mahamaya) narrating stories about another "Escape Artist". Its an art basically, its not science. No pun intended, this zone is beyond measuring tools of science.

I just wonder the greatness of Rani Rasmani ,Mathur Babu ,Jagadamba! What Sri Ramakrishna was doing during His initial days ,even in today's society, we ,the so-called intelligent people would have considered Him as madman ,as,His every actions those times were abnormal. When at later stage ,Sri M ,Narendranath, Kesab Sen visited He already finished all sadhnas & behaving quite normally. Hence, those persons who recognized Him & treated Him with respect, when in normal eyes He was behaving madly,they are really highly advanced ones spiritually! Those pundits & sadvi who at His initial madly bhava days,considered him as Avatara ,--Vairabi Brahmani ,Vaishnava Charan, Gouri Pundit they all were highly advanced spiritually ,otherwise, normal intelligent people those time were convinced about His sheer madness! The lives of these extraordinary people should be analyzed till they left their body & be remembered, as they themselves are great & played very important parts in this great Ramakrishna movement.

Adding of puri after monastic ordination was never done by 16 direct disciples of sri ramakrishna anywhere. Swamiji never told or signed that he is vivekananda puri Swamis you came after 16 disciples wanted their recognition only from shankaracharya lineage. They were against other vedanta schools. Word advaitiyam is not exclusive word of shankaracharya philosophy. This is just personal prejudice. Totapuri becomes disciple of sri ramakrishna later.

[@sumitdutta7043]

Its not recognition Itz just to show the Guru Shishya parampara is going on. Its not like they use the term puri. Only if some dashnami person asks then onkt he will use.

[@regardsk3815]

@sumitdutta7043 totapuri learns from sri ramakrishna. Finally, ramakrishna corrected totapuri's nirvisesa advaita. Ramakrishna order is started by sri ramakrishn and not shankaracharya. Sri ramakrishna teaching differs from shankaracharya. Swamiji says one's own liberation and welfare of the world. He did not say the world is mirhya.
