In defence of Hindu Gurus
by Raja P.C.Deo Bhanj (Ex-MP) on Jan 12, 2006 12:46 AM

It is an act of stupidity to write off all the Hindu Gurus as charlatans who are trying to exploit the innocent Hindus.Here I shall talk of my guru the most revered Swami Ranganathananda,President of The Ramakrishna Mission (Worldwide),who attained mahasamadhi last year, at the age of 98 years at Belur,the headquarters of The Ramakrishna Mission.Those of us who have had the good fortune of listening to his eloquent lectures on The Vedanda,The Bhagavad Gita and on practically every subject one can think of and reading the books written by his facile pen,feel that it was our good fortune to have listened to the advice given by such a world-renowned spiritual scholar in such simple English,which everybody understood.He travelled round the world more than 40 times,lecturing how the modern man can attain peace of mind and spirit by reading the various ancient books written by Hindu rishis thousands of years ago.Not only did he spoke on Hinduism,as a true devotee of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa,he said that every faith,be it Hinduism,Christianity or Islam were only different paths to that one Supreme Goal, whom all of us belonging to every religion address as GOD, by different names.
