SUPERSTITIONS GALORE A CENTURY AFTER VIVEKANANDA

SUPERSTITIONS GALORE A CENTURY AFTER VIVEKANANDA 

ISKCON is preaching much of mythological superstition along with a fair amount of dualistic scriptural truth. This goes against the Ramakrishna Mission's propagation of pure spirituality based on the Vedanta and a like interpretation of all dualistic scripture. RKM observes the scientific rational approach coupled with intuitive spirituality. ISKCON, on the other hand, is handing out archaic superstition that runs counter to modernity and progress. The Sanatan Dharma preached by such ignorant, superstitious people is clouding the mass mind and sullying the reputation of Hindu spirituality among thinking men in the world. Indeed, the Sanatan Dharma needs a fresh articulation by a great Acharya like Swami Vivekananda again. May he be born once more to guide humanity along the path to light and freedom!

This heaven and hell business preached by ISKCON with all its puerile paraphernalia is misleading masses of men and women the world over and creating confusion about what the Sanatan Dharma truly stands for. We have work to do here and it is the propagation of pure spirituality without an iota of superstition attached to it. Vivekananda and Advaita Vedanta is the way. Bhakti must be preached as well, so must Karma and Yoga, but all these must be based on the pure foundation of the Upanishads. 🕉
