Introduction to the Class... Swami Vivekananda is known to many but perhaps not his unusual speaking and presenting style. Echoing the breadth of love, vision and universal practices of his teachers, Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sri Ma (Holy Mother, Sri Sarada Devi), he spoke to all about many ways to truth. One night he might speak of the love of God, the next night, on Karma Yoga. But whatever he spoke about became the be-all and end-all, as if that path was the best, as if that method was what he truly believed. Vivekananda's capacity to see and experience different paths touches on the concept of universality, as it is used in this class. Universality is the quality in everything that tends towards the infinite and draws all things together. Understood and practiced, it colors the world with tolerance, acceptance and love.. The class will meet once a month, usually the last Sunday, at 2pm. Please come! The class is available to all. Study the site for a better sense of how its structured and how it will run from month to month. The site is also a work in progress! We'll go on making changes and adding details as time goes on. Special features right now include a class discussion group, a place to post items of interest and various reference pages. Other features will be added soon. We will have participants online from around the country and elsewhere, including teachers and experts in various fields of spirituality and philosophy. This promises to be an exciting and valuable experience! If your interested in participating, please email me at baba@motherstrust.org or call 616-293-6884. The class can be joined at any time and will go on for several years. We intend to study and discuss a talk a month from Swami Vivekananda's Complete Works! Join us! Baba |
