Swami Abhishiktananda: An Interview with Rev. Murray Rogers

[@hannahlemire1188]

He is heart to Heart.

Such a deep thing, the friendship you feel here, the nature of both men. ❤

[@pradipthomas8779]

Wonderful. Must say that it did bring a tear to my eye. My father and mother were very close friends of Murray and his family and we had met him last in 2001 or thereabouts in Oxford. I do remember meeting the Swamiji in 1974 in Chennai. Many of the Swamiji's books explored the wondrous and challenging nature of the Hindu-Christian meeting point through the lens of Hinduism.

Great interview and disclosure.

No, there is nothing else but God. The head has no trouble with this conclusion. But I think we really need to be dying before the heart comes to terms with this. Then our journey to the Unspeakable can really begin.

[@arapaimagold8088]

Actually the head was troubled because mind can't accept the formless aspect of God. It was simply because God is beyond what mind can process. That's why God comes down in human persona and Holy Spirit touch the tounge so everyone who hear The Words can understand it. What Abhishiktananda do is the same thing with some mystic saints like John of The Cross. It's the acceptance that God is formless and boundless by detaching our attachment to physicality.

I read a book on him and he met H.W.Poonja who was an advaitist, and he said Abishiktananda was close to ''realizing'' or ''enlightenment'' but it seems his Christiand devotion meant he couldn't do it, he had to make a distinction between creator and created. I think deep down he may have been a little bit conflicted or torn between Chistianity and Hinduism, but I could be wrong about that.
