 All Members,

 Respected family members of this great holy Nation.


 Sub : DISCIPLESHIP : - 16.

 (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 !" )

"The teacher was a boy of sixteen; he taught a man of eighty. Silence was the method of the teacher; and the doubts of the disciple vanished for ever."

(Dakshinâmurti-stotram, 12 (adapted).)

That is the Guru.

Just think, if you find such a man, what faith and love you ought to have for that person!

Why, he is God Himself, nothing less than that!

That is why Christ's disciples worshipped him as God.

The disciple must worship the Guru as God Himself.

All a man can know is the living God, God as embodied in man, until he himself has realised God.

How else would he know God?


Here is a man in America, born nineteen hundred years after Christ, who does not even belong to the same race as Christ, the Jewish race.

He has not seen Jesus or his family.

He says, "Jesus was God. If you do not believe it, you will go to hell".

We can understand how the disciples believed it — that Christ was God; he was their Guru, and they must have believed he was God.

But what has this American got to do with the man born nineteen hundred years ago?

This young man tells me that I do not believe in Jesus and therefore I shall have to go to hell.

What does he know of Jesus?

He is fit for a lunatic asylum.

This kind of belief will not do.

He will have to find his Guru.

NOTE :- Here, Swamiji indicates it is difficult to be a Guru, today, very difficult to find a True Guru, until a True disciple finds one if he is sincere!

All  cardinals  or bishops are not be Guru-s in true sense!!

Thank you for reading

 JAIHIND.

To be continued  ...

The Essence of Dharma-23.

23/02/2018 Spoken on February 11th, 1973) This is the concept of dharma, of the duty of man in the universe, the nature of which is thus explained. Dharma has sometimes been regarded as one of the four purusharthas: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. This is the sum and substance of Hinduism. The essence of the religion of India is summed up in a phrase: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. If you are asked by anyone what is Hinduism, simply say, “Dharma, artha, kama, moksha.” This is Hinduism: a blend of these four concepts of duty. Hinduism is always a blend. It is never a one-sided affair. It has no name. ‘Hinduism’ is not the name of this religion. It is the name that is foisted upon it by Westerners, not knowing what it is. We have no name for our religion. It is not founded by any person. It is universal, capable of absorbing everything into itself like a menstruum. It is sanatana dharma, eternal dharma. It is eternal religion forever applicable to all persons of all creeds and sexes.
