I wish you all happy dassara and let all the ravans in you burn to reality and all the ram the essence of life come to you on occasion.Last time i had requested you to support the cause of various spiritual activities in kolhapur. One of them was the ramkrishna centre at kolhapur. Here are some photographs of the developments in rajarampuri 11 th lane kolhapur.
This place is blessed by many of the monks from rkmath at various places and holds the highest esteem in the minds of the people around and the devotees of all religion.
I appeal to all my students with the earnest request that this being the future of the new generation please donate generously for the cause.
To add to your information on how visinoary vivekananda was i read a book called east and west compiled by him, it describes comparison of faith belief and value system of the entire world including the dressing style as well as food and cultural habits. worth reading it.i you can get a copy of it from nagpur math india.
The latest update on this east and west is here
THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT: A LINK BETWEEN EAST AND WESTDelivered at the Parliament of the World's ReligionsChicago, September 3, 1993
Alan AndersonCurry College.Perhaps what the world needs most is a religion that lovingly includes diversity, that invites all people to turn within themselves to find their individualization of the universal Reality (of whatever name, or none), a religion that offers techniques for using their awareness of the ultimate presence to solve their daily problems. New Thought has been doing this for more than a century of inspiring people, healing them, and encouraging them to engage in what is new thought and practice for them.
Perhaps the best description for New Thought is William James's chapter title, "the religion of healthy-mindedness." Ervin Seale often referred to New Thought by this name. Whatever else healthy-mindedness may be, it is open-mindedness, a willingness to grow in understanding of oneself and of others, whether individuals or groups. It means reserving the right to change one's mind, to be "open at the top" for new growth stimulated by whatever new light may come, open to God's ever-new self-revelation in ourselves. Whatever our faiths, may we all welcome whatever new thought we discover, with or without capital letters.
