INDIAN WISDOM
We all have our own little collection of treasured quotes, anecdotes, poems etc
Let me begin to share with you a few from my own collections augmented by contributions by my elderly parents and other wise men & women in our wide circle of family and friends. As time goes, I hope this section will become a useful reference site for our young generation.
I have had the good fortune to be initiated (during my formative years) to the unique world of “Indian Wisdom” mostly through the illuminating lectures of Late Swami Ranganathananda of the Ramakrishna Mission.(pronounced as Ranga natha nanda) From the early seventies I used to listen to him keenly. Swami was a very versatile speaker. I visited him at the Belur Math on 29th December 2004 ( he passed away later in early 2005) to pay my respects. He was very cheerful and alert. He readily agreed to give me a personally autographed copy of his famous 3 Volume exposition of the Bhagavad Gita. I am getting better insights on the Gita through his brilliant exposition.
Swamy’s lectures on Viveka Choodamani ( Adi Sankara’s timeless teachings) is a great eye opener to the world of philosophy. I am still studying the Viveka Choodamani and will be glad to share in due course the unique gems from this great work. I must acknowledge the brilliant explanations I get from my wise friend and colleague Mr. Jnan Dash. www.linkedin.com/in/jnandash
