Swami ji was a great soul. He worked tirelessly throughout his life to spread the wisdom of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. He was an integrated Yogi - integrating karma yoga, jnana yoga, and bhakti yoga in his life. His book on Bhagavad Gita (The message of bhagavad gita) is a masterpiece. He had a great positive influence on humanity. His central message is that all of us are spiritual at the core. We can progress at our own pace, even a little bit of growth is good. We should also work cooperatively and help others to the extent possible - parasparam bhavayantam. "Passion towards God and love towards fellow beings," was his dictum.

Sri Ramakrishna and Vivekananda's energy and blessings flow through Maharaj to all of us...how blessed are we to listen to him. Eternal pranams!!

What a wonderful speech !!! Pranam Maharaj 🙏🙏🙏

Knowledge personified.Swamiji was a great visionary and. Noble soul.....Jai guru....

1:01:01 in Europe alternating democracy-dictatorship ... in India it was always the middle path, Buddha taught it, Gita taught it .... we have been taught the middle path, acceptance is the ideology of Swamiji .... even after freedom India continued to work together with Britain ... in America after independence there was tremendous anti-British feeling and vice versa ...

Amazing. Such a clear vision...effortless, humble yet a proud Indian, candid, humorous, knowledgeable. Pronam Maharaj.

What a fantastic, outstanding, erudite speech this was clearly explaining the Indian philosophy

Okay we are blessed. I am lucky to live in the time of KZfaq to receive this blessing. ❤

just wonderful!

Hinduism is explained by swami vivekananda and vivekananda is correctly understood by swami ranganatanandajji.

55:20 Swamiji's work coming through humanism in America ... America was foundationally humanistic .... religion in America, politics was democratic and freedom, in search of something better ...

1:05:30 Russian lecture was on Swamiji's humanism and they liked that idea!

Perhaps the last of the great monks who had been the personifications of an idea of Vivekananda, in Swami Ranganathananda's case it's the Idea of oneness of science and spirituality which he has preached relentlessly. He had bluntly pointed out to the Marxists that the socialist dictum about: to each according to his needs etc etc presupposes a spiritual judgement, on the part of the administrator, of the whole issue.

Pranam to Shri Thakkur ji and to all.

EXCEEEEELLENT !!!!

1:09:02 looking at all those people who were listening!

1:05:30 what is our responsibility? First of all develop the attitude that we all belong, that the poor and the destitute are my own blood, then based on that feeling share your surplus with them ...

Watching again.

Very interesting and impressive.

Thank you.

Thank You.

47:01 attachment to the world is death .... repeat the Lord's name at the time of death

SHATH SHATHA PRANAM AT HIS HOLY FEET

🙏🙏🙏🙏

53:34 Code language Kannada famous language of South India

🙏

Pranams to his holy feet

38:01 Reality is that, one shadow of which is life and one shadow of which is death.

All saints of Belur math are excellent

23:22 Indira Gandhi's mother was a disciple of Swami Shivananda

Fortunate we are.

45:06 Vedanta comes in and teaches us this truth ...

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE = RELIGION ....PRONAM SWAMIJI

1:02:42 if India was not there there would be no Commonwealth ... Churchill was terribly anti Indian but after freedom when he heard Nehru accepting to remain in Commonwealth tears came to his eyes, despite the oppression and sucking blood ...

1:04:01 Sister Nivedita quote!

Even more important for many Americans, we need science along with our religion. And, when science and religion are in conflict, which should you believe, your experience or your beliefs?

45:09 Teaching a parrot to chant ... yess then like Socrates we can say so ... with a smile we will go ... Tulsidas Ramayana!

39:00 Socrates conversation before death can be taken as a chapter in any Upanishad ...

Refer to the Swami's lecture at 33:50 min and then read the following text which contradicts what he says : द्रोणं च भीष्मं च जयद्रथं च कर्णं तथान्यानपि योधवीरान् | मया हतांस्त्वं जहि मा व्यथिष्ठा युध्यस्व जेतासि रणे सपत्नान् || 34|| droṇaṁ cha bhīṣhmaṁ cha jayadrathaṁ cha karṇaṁ tathānyān api yodha-vīrān mayā hatāṁs tvaṁ jahi mā vyathiṣhṭhā yudhyasva jetāsi raṇe sapatnān BG 11.34: Dronacharya, Bheeshma, Jayadratha, Karn, and other brave warriors have already been killed by me. So slay them without being disturbed. Just fight and you will be victorious over your enemies in battle. www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/11/verse/34

58:20 Tremendous changes .... how long can fundamentalism last? .... Eastern ingredient is very strong, Christianity was originally Eastern ... Roman civilization swallowed Christianity, Eastern religion is accommodative... it's like ingredients piled in a cauldron and final product cooked will be because of forces ...

Each swamyji of Ramakrishna order is equal to one atom bomb. Meaning a atom bomb will destroy a whole country where as our Swamiji(atom) bomb will awaken a whole country. Great souls🙏🙏🙏

8:52 Maya and magic and magician Doctor hahaha ... hand close and hand tap and flow tape

44:31 "that is way to enjoy life" obsession with body

56:40 "Civil Religion of America" MIT scientist ....

43:20 St. Paul ... nowadays very little manufacture for mind and soul all for body ...

1:03:38 if it is not there now (freedom idea) in India, then all we need to do is education....

37:05 Los Dickinson book "The Greek View of Life"

Vedantic Volcano

6:42 Sea of Faith film

53:35

1:00:41 teaching evolution ...

41:28 Shankaracharya or Sri Ramakrishna allowed themselves to be treated when sick it is no pathological condition ...

16:05 it is a corrosive truth

I wish such Swamis do cover all Indian universities and institutions too extensively. Indians are going farther away from the spirituality and basic morality…

54:48 Trojan Horse story ... India has no such thing everything is open

1:04:37 no anti-feeling .... the anti- people will be replaced by the humanism not related to any nation

23:40 what is the nature of Brahman? Science and cannot be studied .... see Swamiji radiates Mukti

51:03 Iran .... it is a frenzy now and Islamic world is passing through all that and old values will have to go .... they cannot preserve every letter of the old tradition ... it is a more closed religion.... Hinduism was always free we honor the mystic not the priest ... Bahai'sm is strong in America .... Bahais in Iran

But how can you destroy your past bad karma?

59:34 Modern atheism and materialism has provoked fundamentalism ... in India the reaction to Western culture was very soon balanced in Swami Vivekananda no anti-anything, everything positive, that maturity India got that through Sri Ramakrishna and Swamiji ... other countries are on poles ....

Er ist ein guter Mensch. Mein Eindruck ist, dass er ein Unpersönlichkeitsanhänger ist. Aber Gott ist ein Lebewesen und nicht nur Energie, so wie wir auch ewige Lebewesen sind; unsterblich. Siehe Gita 10.10; 7.7. 2.13

11:37 East and West Berlin!
