DENIGRATING WITHOUT DUE RESEARCH MAY HARDLY BE DEEMED A SPIRITUAL ATTRIBUTE OR EVEN INTELLECTUAL HONESTY

DENIGRATING WITHOUT DUE RESEARCH MAY HARDLY BE DEEMED A SPIRITUAL ATTRIBUTE OR EVEN INTELLECTUAL HONESTY

Biased videos are made to denigrate the researched findings of great souls like Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. Gopinath Kabiraj. Without due investigation such youthful braggarts need not run down venerable souls and their life's researched output simply by dint of the donned ochre. Greater circumspection is necessary before voicing views in such trenchant terms that are founded on prior suppositions unfounded in research and based purely on selective readings of Thakur-Swamiji. One must point out to such vociferous critics of Jnan Gunj [Gyan Ganj] that there are quite a few references of extraordinary possibilities in Swamiji's Raja Yoga as well.  Need one assume then that Swamiji was imposing materialism onto spirituality for some queer purpose? I am no votary of the supernatural or the occult in matters spiritual but like to keep my rational-intuitive mind open to all information while abstaining from prejudgement based on my predilection. Swamiji at the very onset of authoring his 'Raja Yoga' has drawn our attention to such 'surface scientists' and has elsewhere exhorted us to 'have some gentlemanly faith' in matters spiritual instead of outright rejecting such propositions without duly investigating them. Swamiji must not be read partially and thus misread nor must the works of Dr. Gopinath Kabiraj be disregarded without even studying them in depth.
