 All Members,

 Respected family members of this great holy Nation.
Sub : DISCIPLESHIP : - 13.
(Delivered in San Francisco, on March 29, 1900)
By Swami Vivekananda.
Ref :   A guide to present day students who waste their life on decayed Communists thoughts, Think about Swami Vivekananda who in his short life span how much his contribution to the world, be like him, follow Swamiji for your Enlightenment - and not Yechuries, Rahuls, or Kejriwals.
 (Very Important Readers must realise  : - "A BOLD TALK, QUESTION BEFORE CHRISTIANS : -)

( OUR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS SHOULD ANSWER THE SWAMIJI'S QUESTIONS, PROBABLY THE CHRISTIANS HERE ESPECIALLY IN KERALA  MAY  NOT- BECAUSE THE BAPTISM IS ITSELF A WRONG FOOLISH IDEA !" )

13.
Some years ago one of your Christian teachers, a friend of mine, said, "You believe in Christ?" "Yes," I answered, "but perhaps with a little more reverence."

 "Then why don't you be baptised?"

 How could I be baptised?

  By whom?

 Where is the man who can give true baptism?

 What is baptism?

 Is it sprinkling some water over you, or dipping you in water, while muttering formulas?
Baptism is the direct introduction into the life of the spirit.

 If you receive the real baptism, you know you are not the body but the spirit.

 Give me that baptism if you can.

 If not, you are not Christians.
Even after the so-called baptism which you received, you have remained the same.

 What is the sense of merely saying you have been baptised in the name of the Christ?

 Mere talk, talk — ever disturbing the world with your foolishness!
"Ever steeped in the darkness of ignorance, yet considering themselves wise and learned, the fools go round and round, staggering to and fro like the blind led by the blind." (Katha Upanishad, I.ii.5)
Therefore do not say you are Christians, do not brag about baptism and things of that sort.

 Thank you for reading

  JAIHIND.

Opinion               25/12/2017.                    1077                 All Members,          Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Everyone's idea of practical religion is according to his theory of practicality and the standpoint he starts from. There is work. There is the system of worship. There is knowledge.           VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PRESENT DAY STUDENTS : - This article was recorded by Ida Ansell in shorthand. As, however, Swamiji's speed was too great for her in her early days, dots are put in the articles to indicate the omissions, while the words within square brackets are added by way of linking up the disconnected parts. (Delivered in San Francisco, April 5, 1900) Sub : PRACTICAL RELIGION : BREATHING AND MEDITATION - 2. Swami Vivekananda We are always talking [about] practical religion. But it must be practical in our sense. Especially [so] in the Western countries. The Protestants' ideal is good works. They do not ca

Chapter 3: The Need for Integral Knowledge -5 5. THE REALISATION OF ONENESS IN THE SPIRIT -1 One must go beyond all that causes duality, even the intellect, and take resort in the transcendent silence. "One should not play too much upon words, for it is mere weariness of speech." "The Brahmana should, knowing Him, renounce learning, and stand childlike and The intellect is the seat of egoism, and the highest learning is only apara vidya, not above the phenomena of nature. The intellect has no light of its own, independent of the Self, any more than the moon has any light other than that of the sun. Consciousness gets diffused through the distractive intellect and creates the perception of multiplicity. "Dismissing all other words, He alone is to be meditated upon and known, the bridge to Immortality." Further, it is erroneous on the part of an individual to take seriously the many forms of perception. These forms float in Truth even a

=========================================================== Thursday, 14 Sep 2023. 05:30.  3.Durga Puja or Navaratri Post-3. ============================================================= 3.Durga Puja or Navaratri SALUTATIONS to the Divine Mother, Durga, who exists in all beings in the form of intelligence, mercy, beauty, who is the consort of Lord Shiva, who creates, sustains and destroys the universe. This festival is observed twice a year, once in the month of Chaitra and then in Aswayuja. It lasts for nine days in honour of the nine manifestations of Durga. During Navaratri (the word literally means “nine nights”) devotees of Durga observe a fast. Brahmins are fed and prayers are offered for the protection of health and property. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter are two very important junctions of climatic and solar influence. These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for the worship of the Divine Mother. They are indicated respectively by the Rama-Navar
