People believe what they want to believe, rather than what is factual and truth. I invite your questions on SWAMI VIVEKANANDA. You will get a reply which is based on some common sense and hardwork.ybr (alias ybrao a donkey)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13635995478285822763noreply@blogger.comBlogger285125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013257374901113033.post-35731670489726596652024-06-21T07:21:00.000-07:002024-06-21T07:34:38.661-07:00

Mr. Donald Trump is the President of United States. Swami Vivekananda was an Indian Monk who extensively toured United States from 1893 to 1902 (with a gap), starting with the purpose of attending the World Congress of Religions 1893, Chicago. During the period, he had given lectures in American Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, New York on Religion. He had also established in

I invite more and more specific questions, which I shall try to answer with proof. Indians have every right to love their religions and cultures. At the same time, it may be not be reasonable to deify people by giving them credit disproportionate to their work. There is also NO NEED to spread Hinduism abroad and convert people living there (Some people take pride in the actions of Vivekananda

Swamiji claimed that Kali was not allowing him to look after his own personal comforts. If this incident had really happened, why should Swamiji crave to go to Ooty? Swamiji wrote to Alasinga from Hyderabad, on Feb. 11, 1893:"...Your friend, the young graduate, came to receive me at the station, so also a Bengali gentleman. At present I am living with the Bengali gentleman; tomorrow I go

Swami Vivekananda while collecting funds in the name of his Guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, was very active, but while distributing them to his brother-disciples and those who supported him earlier for his visit to Chicago, he was (in ybrao-a-donkey's personal view), very reluctant and stingy. Shri M.C. Nanjunda Rao, was one such person, who was at the receiving end of free advice of Swami

Following is a list of unverifiable claims of incidents in the life of Swami Vivekananda. These claims are made by his biographers without sufficient tangible evidence. For accepting these claims, Indian Council of Historic Research, New Delhi or any other Government body connected with history have to collect the evidence and verify them. The biographers cannot be depended upon because most

When we study the letters of Swami Vivekananda very carefully, we cannot resist from getting an impression that he did not treat his brother-disciples as his equals. The common impression is that Swami Vivekananda started the Vedanta Society of New York. He himself denied it. Swamiji wrote to Ms. Josephine MacLeod from Alameda, California on April 20, 1900: "...You and Mrs. Leggett wanted me
