IN DEFENCE OF THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION ... 5


IN DEFENCE OF THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION ... 5

I am now providing the video clarifications given by Sri Rantidev Sengupta regarding his carping criticism of Ramakrishna Mission's alleged political stance adopted over recent years that precipitated in the unwitting or, perhaps, willing alleged allowance of the Belur Math platform for camouflaged political propaganda which became all too evident to his reckoning in the final analysis. Rantidev Sengupta, being an initiated devotee of the Mission by self-declaration --- he is a disciple of Swami Atmasthananda, the 15th President of the Ramakrishna Order --- and inspired by Sri Ma Sarada Devi, surely ought to bear no grudges against his parent spiritual institution on any count, or, at least it is hoped so, and ought to deserve a patient hearing on that count and at any rate before millions of the Mission's devotees and the citizenry in general may formulate views about the recent controversy centring his comments. This ought to be the rational way to go about this entire episode and in pursuance of it, I am hereby providing the relevant YouTube video links of his interviews. They are as follows :

It is hoped that readers would take time out of their busy schedules to diligently go through the above interviews and infer thereafter.
