Who is Ishvara

Image
Existence of God: Swami Vivekananda was a follower and proponent of Vedanta which mentions one God — omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient. On 19 September 1893 Swami Vivekananda delivered a lecture at the Parliament of the World's Religions, Chicago, where he talked about nature of God. He preached— "He is everywhere, the pure and formless One, the Almighty and the All-merciful. "Thou art our father, Thou art our mother, Thou art our beloved friend, Thou art the source of all strength; give us strength. Thou art He that beareth the burdens of the universe; help me bear the little burden of this life." Thus sang the Rishis of the Vedas. And how to worship Him? Through love. "He is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and the next life."

Ramkrishna Paramhansa on Bhagavad Gita

My task will be done, and I shall be quite content to die, if I can bring up and launch one hundred such men over India. He, the Lord, knows best. Let ignorant men talk nonsense. We neither seek aid nor avoid it — we are the servants of the Most High. The petty attempts of small men should be beneath our notice. Onward! Upon ages of struggle a character is built. Be not discouraged. One word of truth c...

Ramkrishna Paramhansa Aratrikam

Khandana Bhava–Bandhana, or Sri Ramakrishna Aratrik, or Sri Ramakrishna Arati, (English: Breaker of this world’s chain), is a Bengali song composed by  # SwamiVivekananda  himself. The song, dedicated to the 19th-century mystic Ramakrishna, was composed in 1898.It is a prayer song, based on Raga Mishra Kalyana, Tala Ferta (Choutal, Tintal, Ektal) used in Indian classical music. Vivekananda's message through the poem was to free one self from the bondages of the world, and to make those who have freed themselves spread their knowledge of freedom widely until the whole humanity is filled with tremendous passion for freedom (from bondage and suffering). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLpwsaPcr04&feature=share
