“Religions must have evolved as a way of life, doctrines may fade as we move towards spirituality on the road to truth, which is bright as the day light” In this simple compilation I have thought about a few lives, I hope have showed us some light to carry us through in the dark pervasive days of human lives. I believe in merciful God who sends his messengers to take up missions dedicated and delicate as they deal human minds. There are a many more in the shadows working earnestly, never seen or heard much about, only God and they know how valuable their beautiful selfless works prevail. Thoughts came to me in the daunting times of COVID 19; the need looming large in acts of mercy and co-existence. My mind wafted into thin air and took me to people who were the winds of change. It recalled the road we travelled along. Many inspirers, who were a guiding light as lanterns on the lanes were seen as beacons of hope, but will they fade away…. Deviating halfway down the journey, we need to ask: • “Did we travel on the right path?” • “Will we inspire good minds to join us in the journey and embrace the unreached?” • “Will we ever try to live by the laws of nature?” India has been blessed by Gita, the epic, in which Lord Krishna says, “If you walk in the path of Dharma, if you absorb and follow the path of righteousness, then you not only emerge as a true leader but also serve and bring about a stronger nation, stronger universe and a stronger world.” “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” Bible – Colossians, Chapter 3; Verse 11 In the Quran: “The term Advaita translated into Arabic would read ‘Wahdahu-la-Shareek’—the one who has no second...” The time has come for us to rethink and reset our way of lives, embrace life in its fullest potential, hear a Coherent answer, attain a peaceful world, and a meet a merciful God. In this journey we need your loving hearts, your caring hands and merciful deeds. We have seen some great simple men and women do that in these dark days of sufferings. We shall Overcome… and make it a shining little blue marble, our home.

Stories of Vedanta Monks presents the reminiscences of the Second-Generation Monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna constitute the first generation; their disciples in turn constitute the second. The second-generation monks had not seen Sri Ramakrishna. Nevertheless, they met many of the first-generation monks who had lived with Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda. Just as the direct impact of the Holy Trio on the life and character of the first-generation monks is marked and distinct, so is the impact of the first generation of monks on the second. They are repositories of invaluable information about Sri Ramakrishna, his monastic disciples, and the glorious traditions of the Ramakrishna Order. The author, Swami Chetanananda, had close associations with some of these monks and has put on record the information that he gathered from them. In and through the life events of these monks, we find brahmavidya (Knowledge of Brahman) pervading their thoughts, speech, and actions in so many ways. The behavioural standards set by them and sacred traditions followed in the Ramakrishna monasteries also stand revealed. When carefully protected and passed on to the next generation, it is these living traditions and practices that become the conduit for the spiritual force and Divine knowledge that emanated from Sri Ramakrishna to pass on and enrich one and all. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication branch of Ramakrishna Math. Belur, this is volume 1 of the reminiscences and is a translation of the Bengali title ‘Prachin Sadhuder Katha – Vol. 1

""The reign of quantity" gives a concise but comprehensive view of the present state of affairs in the world, as it appears from the point of view of the 'ancient wisdom', formerly common both to the East and to the West, but now almost entirely lost sight of. The author indicates with his fabled clarity and directness the precise nature of the modern deviation, and devotes special attention to the development of modern philosophy and science, and to the part played by them, with their accompanying notions of progress and evolution, in the formation of the industrial and democratic society which we now regard as 'normal'. Guénon sees history as a descent from Form (or Quality) toward Matter (or Quantity); but after the Reign of Quantity-modern materialism and the 'rise of the masses'-Guénon predicts a reign of 'inverted quality' just before the end of the age: the triumph of the 'counter-initiation', the kingdom of Antichrist. This text is considered the magnum opus among Guénon's texts of civilizational criticism, as is Symbols of Sacred Science among his studies on symbols and cosmology, and Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta among his more purely metaphysical works." --Descripción del editor.
