Comments on: Guru’s Grace http://vimokshananda.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/gurus-grace/ Blog from Swami Vimokshananda now in South Africa Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:49:40 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Subhadip Dutta http://vimokshananda.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/gurus-grace/#comment-180 Subhadip Dutta Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:59:37 +0000 http://vimokshananda.wordpress.com/?p=172#comment-180 Revered Maharaj Ji, I had gone through the piece recollecting the austerities performed by Sujji Maharaj, Swami Nirvanananda Ji (Holy Mother - the Guide) and thus came to know of the practical aspects of sadhana performed by the then monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The effort itself is illumined with ample examples of wonderful thoughts and inspirations. Instead of practicing austerities unnecessarily, Holy Mother had suggested her spiritual sons to better cultivate pure devotion, love by serving the resident Swamis, Rakhal Maharaj, Baburam Maharaj and Mahapurush Maharaj. She in her umpteen grace made it possible to turn the aspiring soul's attention towards the self. Those who live nearby are to be worshiped first, thus paving the way for fostering the possibility of seeing the Brahman, the supreme soul in himself at heart later. :) I conclude by quoting the inspired message of Swami Vivekananda "..May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus, the Ahura-mazda of the Zoroastrians, the Buddha of the Buddhists, the Jehovah of the Jews, the Father in Heaven of the Christians, give strength to you to carry out your noble idea." Jai Sri Thakur! Jai Sri Maa! Jai Swamiji! With sincere Regards, <strong>Subhadip,</strong> Noida (Uttar Pradesh), India Revered Maharaj Ji,
