Excellent Swamiji it's really fortune to me to hear this great lecture.its real message of swami vivekananda 🙏

[@anuradhabhattacharya8502]

Pranams Revered Maharaj. Advaita Vedanta confers courage to "gain Independence from personal misery and sorrow" so that the "Intrinsic joy" can manifest to the maximum. Again very rare, in the experiences of "mirages", there are "Oases" in the desert that slakes the thirst for the Ultimate Truth, perhaps a "Guru" or shravana, manana and nidhidhyasana as we ponder with the body-mind complex? Sri Ramakrishna persuaded Swamiji to appreciate "Nirakara" and "Saguna Sakara" aspects of Brahman too. I guess only then the "experience of the Infinitude of the Divine" can be truly appreciated and experienced. Only then can the courage and fearlessness manifest as unconditional love for all. Yes, a new Manu's Way will be written for the "new civilization" that Swamiji envisioned 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Advaitic Vedanta can embrace all paths as they all lead to the experience of the Divine. Advaita Vedanta is the only way to acceptance and harmony of all of humanity connected with unconditional love.🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@regardsk3815]

Shankaracharya Advaita cannot achieve this- He negates incarnation and world as misconception or superimposition of the Brahman. Buddhist says--- WOrld is real - Brahman is an illusion-- Shankara says reverse--- How can you say that Advaita vedanta take up haromony.

Greatest teacher is Adi Shankaracharya

[@neerajs3458]

There is no teacher who is the greatest at a permanent level, Jagadguru Sri Shankaracharya was the greatest before Swami Vivekananda, now Swami Vivekananda has become the greatest, after several centuries one more great leader will be born who will become the greatest, this is a chain which goes on, here no one person can remain the greatest it changes with the change in time. Always remember that it is the same person who had then come as Shankaracharya, recently as Swami Vivekananda and in a later date as some other person.

[@Heaven351]

​@@neerajs3458 There will be no better than swami vivekananda, because swami vivekananda's approach was of inclusiveness and unity , whether shankaracharya sometimes was exclusive .

[@YogeshAYogi]

Swami Vivekananda--The Greatest Teacher of Advaita Vedanta then who was "RAMAKRISHNA"

[@regardsk3815]

Sankaracharya said - world is mithya and brahman alone is real , Jivatma is Brahman. Swamiji please explain where did Sri Ramakrishna say that the World is a superimposition on Brahman and jivatma is Brahman? Sri Ramarkishna says- Brahman is real, World is mithya and Jivatma is servant or machine of the Brahman He gives a definition of Mithya- as something which is eternally changing but it is not like a misconception in a mind. I think you are trying to say that Sankaracharya's teaching is the same as Sri Ramakrishna --- NOWHERE, Swami Vivekananda has said this. Swami Turiyananda answers straightforward that Sankaracharya differs from Ramakrishna. Sister Nivedita states clearly that Buddhist accept the world and denied Brahman Sankara accepted brahman and denied the world Ramakrishna and Vivekananda accepted brahman and world - one and many. If you say that Holy mother mentioned in her letter that - Ramakrishna is Advaita----- this does not mean for us to conclude that Holy mother is in favour that we belong to Sankaracharya illusive Advaita. Holy mother meant - Advaita in the sense of Harmony and philosophy-- Advaita Vedanta of Shankaracharya cannot synthesis all philosophies of the world. Our Dwaita Vedanta is totally against this. If Holy mother would have said Advaita in the sense of philosophy- there will be no place of Dwaita Vedanta in Ramakrishna. Ramakrishna clearly says - As many paths ( Philosophies) so many faiths (religion) It is not wise to believe that word " Advaita " used by the Holy mother is Sankaracharya's philosophy and still talks of philosophical harmony for namesake. In your Mayavati ashrama- holy mother restricted idol worship or any kind of worship? If you say both--- you cannot do any work at all in the Mayavati- Today you have Prabbhuda Bharata functions in Mayavati- If you say work is worship- it is Dwaita. There is no Advaita in your Mayavati branch. If you say that Idol worship Holy mother was against then she should have instructed "no idol worship - Ramakrishna is Advaita (shankaracharya)" in all Ramakrishna mission Asharamas. I pray to you " please do not pigeonhole Ramakrishna in Shankarachaya Advaita"--- Shankaaracharya advaita is one of the path mentioned in Ramakrishna- in fact, he states it is a difficult path.
