LIKE WILD FIRE SPREAD OUT AND SPREAD THE SANATAN DHARMA

LIKE WILD FIRE SPREAD OUT AND SPREAD THE SANATAN DHARMA 

Massive preaching of the Vedanta in simple terms is necessary in Islamic countries. The Ramakrishna Mission must apply for preaching the Vedanta in the birthplace of Islam, Saudi Arabia, which is on a reformist course. In all probability their application will be rejected but the effort must be made, nonetheless. If ISKCON can make inroads into so many countries with its rather limited philosophical repertoire, why cannot the Ramakrishna Mission do so? After all, the universal approach and acceptance of the Vedanta should make it appealing and amenable for acceptance by all. I fully realise that this is a fanciful idea but ideas originally are ever so seemingly fanciful but gain credence with time. Then they get translated into concrete reality. So, the Ramakrishna Mission must spread throughout the world, tough though they may find the going. Israel is a Jewish ✡ state and the Mission could begin by trying its luck there. One more thing. The Ramakrishna Mission must have a good theological college where expert training in the preaching of the Sanatan Dharma may be imparted to the eligible monks. Austerity, erudition and zeal are the keys to success. May the Sanatan Dharma find effective preachers as the spiritually starved world is thirsting for light!
