Two different cultures, Rituals and Symbols

Dear Chitra Madam,

Thank u very much for the explanations.
I agree, The questions are serious & sensitive ones, that can create a 'storm'..!
But opinion always differs...& I'm glad to know about ur personal view.

Same questions..I used to ask my parents/grand parents....finally, we only end up in arguments!
The only reply...they would give is that ' when we were young, we never used ask or argue like u, we listen & obey to elders..
But now, my children are growing up ...they're full of questions, they need more (scientific!) explanations for everything!

Anyhow, I just take this opportunity to thank u all, for not only giving us information/explanation
but also create an awareness to know more about our religion/custom etc.!

And I'll look in to the details for 3rd & 4th questions.

Before I end, I want say...ur replies are polite/ humble & very down-to earth!

Thank u once again,
regards,
Anu!!!

 

Dear Ma,
What you have written about Symbols n connecting it with Idol worship is so lucid that one will have no doubts about worshipping Idols now with faith strengthened....to see beyond that idol n train our minds eye to see it....

Can you please give us the books you have read for further reading...... I have read only one book from Vivekananda Swamiji : "Swamy Vivekananda on Himself"... where can I get other books

 

Hi,
You got me wrong? Please give me the names of books... Swamy Vivekananda books are avlbl at RK Math shop so I was asking is there any Math of Swamy Chinmayanand , Dayananda..

 

Hi Ma,
I will check these books n buy them .......Thank You...
