The Ninth Sunday Session was held on 30 August, 2015 in two phases.
The First Session was attended by Deepanwita Datta and we deliberated on Advaita Vedanta and its ramifications. The Vedas and the Upanishads were briefly touched upon as a starting point for the classes. It was decided that The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna must be regularly read and along with it Swami Vivekananda's Jnana Yoga. This will help clarify Vedantic concepts. Some salient points on character-building were also discussed.
The Second Session was attended by Dwaipayan Bhattacharya and it was quite a stimulating session as usual. Dwaipayan's concepts are crystal-clear and we deliberated on Shankara's Mayavada, the Hindu definition of theism and atheism in terms of the inviolability or otherwise of the Vedas and the origin and evolution of the concept, nay, the phenomenon of the Avatara from Vedic to Puranic times.
It was heartening to re-open the Sunday sessions after the lapse of over four months and I sincerely hope that our good work will continue.
