IN APPRECIATION OF SWAMI EKARTHANANDA'S EFFORTS AT AWAKENING PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH CRISP CONTENTIOUS POSTS


IN APPRECIATION OF SWAMI EKARTHANANDA'S EFFORTS AT AWAKENING PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH CRISP CONTENTIOUS POSTS

Maharaj (यतिराज पुरी), you have mastered the art of online communication. Your presentations are catching 'the breeze of mercy', as Sri Ramakrishna used to say it, and setting people into the thinking mode as Swamiji had aspired for humanity when in his celebrated lecture 'Is Vedanta the Future Religion' he had exhorted, "Let men be thinkers." Without stretching it so far, though, your online posts are, for sure, making people ponder the spiritual imperatives of life and inducing them to take a fresh look at their lives. Your constant consistent effort is reaping you the dividends and helping you achieve the goal of activating, if even, a mild awakening among the laity and the mass of devotees.

I remember those early days of your daily postings from 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' which you kept up for several years. But it seems you have through experience arrived at the understanding that Facebook surfers are superficial beings largely and are more responsive to one liners rather than elaborate elucidating essays. And herein you have struck the gold. Now your posts will carry better responses than ever before as you will have struck resonant vibrations in many a reader and yet achieve your goal of letting the spiritual message drift in unnoticed into the momentarily opening mind. May Thakur-Ma guide you in your ever-advancing programme of public communication ! My prostrations at the hallowed feet of the Holy Trinity and my heartiest good wishes for you !
