Sri Sarada Devi and Communal Harmony

The great historian, Dr. R.C. Majumdar, wrote in ‘Glimpses of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century’,
“In all vital matters affecting culture, the Hindus and Muslims of Bengal, as elsewhere in India, lived in watertight compartments as it were.”

There was no ill feeling between the Hindus and Muslims, but Dr. Majumdar said, “A fundamental and basic difference between the two communities was apparent and with respect to social ideas and institutions, “the two differed as poles asunder.”

Ramana – The Unique Saint

Ramana was a rare spiritual personality with no Guru as such.  Most Divine personalities had Gurus.  Lord Rama had three Gurus – Vasishta, Viswamitra and Agastya.  Lord Krishna had three Gurus – Sandeepini, Gora Angirasa and Jain Teertamkara, Neminatha, who was His cousin.    Parashurama had his one Guru in Lord Dattatreya.  Dattatreya himself had twenty-four Gurus, one of them a cobbler and another a dog!
