Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 ~~ om sadâúiva gurave namah ~~ Dear Sourav Just because Thakur saw Himself in Vivekananda and in every creature does not mean that the creature also has the same ability or the vision of Thakkur. I sincerely believe that Thakkur is a Siva avatara (although others say Kali) and that Vivekananda is a Rishi who has come with the perfect rays of the Sun God - Savitur. If you study their charts you will appreciate my words. Brighu rishi is the energy of Venus while Vivekananda is the finest rays of the Sun to re-establish dharma and self respect. Thakkur's humility in showing the way to Vivekananda should never be mistaken to be any weakness or any less stature - it was his greatness. He even showed the true path to his own Guru Tota Puri.

Thank you for writing back. Your dreamaccount is very interesting. The little surprise part on my side isthat I have been reading random passages from a Bengali book (pleasesee below) and on the same day (i.e. today) that I read about thisepisode in that book, I have come across this article. And now youare also writing about this dream !I just wanted to add that, I tried not to take a position on whoNarendranath could be from this article. The reason is following:The words of Thakur as used in this article seems to be atranslation of a passage in Sri Sri Ramakrishna Lila Prasanga(Bengali) by Swami Saradananda, Swami Vivekananda's brother disciplewhom Swami-ji had himself instructed to write Thakur's biography sothat others may not speculate and adopt wrong information onThakur's life. The words used in this book can be exactly translatedas:Sri Ramakrishna speaking, with folded hands in front ofNarendra : "I know, Prabhu, you are that ancient sage (rishi), Nara-rupi Narayana, to remedy the sufferings of living beings (jiva) youhave again taken up a human form". Here Nara can mean Rishi Nara (as youhave said) or just human. In old-style Bengali, Nara is used as justa human being or the human species, to my knowledge.Hence, to me, this piece is open to interpretation. Apart from whatyou have pointed out, it could also be that Thakur gave him thestatus of Narayana and none less because in him he saw himself.In any case, I do agree that the author sort of negated his ownhypothesis in the end by interpreting him to be Bhrigu and latertranslating Thakur's words to be Rishi Nara.The interesting part to me form this article is the segmenttitles "Sapta-Rishis" where he (or she) tabulates the Sapta-rishinames from various scriptural sources. Each of this list isdifferent from another.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Venkatesh, Narasimha & Sanjay, Namaste. May i write a few lines!! Swami Vivekananda's Sun is found placed in Uttarashada(which happens to be the nakshatra of the day when this mail is being written). The deity of this nakshatra is Vishwadeva. The nakshatra is considered as the pinnacle of solar energy and is represented in the firmament by four bright stars which looks like elephant's tusk. The name of the nakshatra also hints at victory. The ten popular Vishwadevas represent the primary virtues of the divine spark. Of the ten the yogic nature of Pitris is held in high esteem. Though the nakshatra is soaked in kshatriya dharma it also exhibits bramanical tendencies. Thakkur is also considered as an amsa of Sriramachandra Moorthy. Where Srirama smiles with a Kodanda in his hand will it not attract Viswamitra!!! Happy new year and best wishes for a prosperous, peaceful and successful new year.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006  ~~ om sadÄÅ›iva gurave namah ~~ Dear Narasimha Yes I missed a point - Thakkur was right again in trying to tell Vivekananda to realise his true nature. He even told that when he realised this he would not want to stay in this planet for even a day, and that is also true. He hinted that Swamiji was the rishi Nara - there are a thousand Rishi's who ride the chariot of the Sun God and when they descend, the rays of the Sun have to show that...see his chart, is it not the Savitur (Sun) speaking to us about the great Sanatana dharma? Who else could have offered a handful of sand to the Sun God with the gayatri mantra and relieved the spirits haunting the first ashram at Baranagore (name??) other than one who knew that the Sun God will even accept sand from him!!!

Rao [pvr] Saturday, December 31, 2005 11:01 PMsohamsa Subject: Re: Of the Saptarishis who is Narendranath (Swami Vivekananda) Dear Sanjay, There are accounts of saints visiting Ramakrishna and finding the marks of Vishnu's avataras on him. Ramakrishna was pure consciousness. Vivekananda had doubts and needed to be woken up by Ramakrishna and then he acted to spread light. Moreover, Ramakrishna himself addressed Vivekananda as the ancient rishi Nara. These are the reasons for my taking the position that Ramakrishna and Vivekananda are the avataras of rishis Narayana and Nara respectively, i.e. of Lord Vishnu Himself. Just as Arjuna fought the war after Krishna removed his confusion, Vivekananda blew the conch of sanatana dharma after Ramakrishna dispelled his confusions. It is possible to use astrology to draw conclusions, but I am not sure if our astrology is ready for that.

I sincerely believe that Thakkur is a Siva avatara (although others say Kali) and that Vivekananda is a Rishi who has come with the perfect rays of the Sun God - Savitur. If you study their charts you will appreciate my words. Brighu rishi is the energy of Venus while Vivekananda is the finest rays of the Sun to re-establish dharma and self respect. Thakkur's humility in showing the way to Vivekananda should never be mistaken to be any weakness or any less stature - it was his greatness. He even showed the true path to his own Guru Tota Puri.

Thank you for writing back. Your dreamaccount is very interesting. The little surprise part on my side isthat I have been reading random passages from a Bengali book (pleasesee below) and on the same day (i.e. today) that I read about thisepisode in that book, I have come across this article. And now youare also writing about this dream !I just wanted to add that, I tried not to take a position on whoNarendranath could be from this article. The reason is following:The words of Thakur as used in this article seems to be atranslation of a passage in Sri Sri Ramakrishna Lila Prasanga(Bengali) by Swami Saradananda, Swami Vivekananda's brother disciplewhom Swami-ji had himself instructed to write Thakur's biography sothat others may not speculate and adopt wrong information onThakur's life. The words used in this book can be exactly translatedas:Sri Ramakrishna speaking, with folded hands in front ofNarendra : "I know, Prabhu, you are that ancient sage (rishi), Nara-rupi Narayana, to remedy the sufferings of living beings (jiva) youhave again taken up a human form". Here Nara can mean Rishi Nara (as youhave said) or just human. In old-style Bengali, Nara is used as justa human being or the human species, to my knowledge.Hence, to me, this piece is open to interpretation. Apart from whatyou have pointed out, it could also be that Thakur gave him thestatus of Narayana and none less because in him he saw himself.In any case, I do agree that the author sort of negated his ownhypothesis in the end by interpreting him to be Bhrigu and latertranslating Thakur's words to be Rishi Nara.The interesting part to me form this article is the segmenttitles "Sapta-Rishis" where he (or she) tabulates the Sapta-rishinames from various scriptural sources.
