Mr. Kamanat:
So surprised to get your e-mail. Yours was the only friendly response I have received so far, but since I'm doing my best to alienate everyone, let me go a little further. I attained illumination in two weeklong experiences, the first and last weeks of May, 2002. I have since published a website containing my writings, to which I continue to post, at www.neochristians.com. Here I have included direct commentaries on both Ramakrishna (at http://www.neo-christianity.com/files/neo-christian_essays/ramakrishna_2.htm) and Vivekananda (at http://www.neo-christianity.com/files/neo-christian_essays/vivekananda_1.htm), none of which you will agree with, I am sure. I have revealed that Swami Vivekananda was an embodied angelic being, meaning a human who attained illumination numerous solar cycles ago and descended, by choice, after consulting the Master. Thus, your perception that he was an incarnation of sorts is a surprisingly accurate one, showing you have a large measure of spirituality. Ramakrishna, on the other hand, was the Son of God, who is the Divine Being charged by the Father (or Mother) to create and sustain solar systems. He is the Avatar. It was His power that ignited our sun, His power that created the planets and their respective moons, and His power that exerts itself over all of us as gravity. That's right; the scientists search for the graviton, a particle they conceive as causing gravity, but they shall never find it, for it is done with divine Power and Might!
I have seen a beautiful website where Ramakrishna is pictured in front of the rising sun, and this is most accurate. It is Him we have to thank for our sun, and thus indirectly for all plant life, and all animal life, too, that feeds off plants. Well, there you have it. Ramakrishna was God, an Incarnation of Brahman, entrusted with real and important divine duties, without the fulfillment of which none of us could even exist on the earth. Vivekananda was one of His longtime friends from the astral realms (and a god to us), taking on a body as well for mankind's benefit. This was true of all of Ramakrishna's disciples, such as Girish Ghosh, Brahmananda, and even "M," where the leonine heart of true dispassion is also seen. The Lord visits the earth from time to time, accompanied by the angels. Vivekananda is thus much, much higher than today's group of illumined men such as Andrew Cohen, Sai Baba (who makes a false claim to Avatarhood), Da Free John (who also makes a false claim), and Osho. When will the world see another like him? I do not know. I used to meditate on Vivekananda's poems during my sadhana, and I still weep to read some of them, so beautiful are they, including "Kali the Mother," “The Cup,” and "My Play is Done."
Well, as they say in an America country Western song, " I ain't got a witness, and you know I can't prove it, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!"
