Again, I used the same type of language. Bingo!! They had no issue publishing ‘Radical Hinduism’!

Probably I was in high school when I got the first book. Our college library had a collection of short essays by various writers on these two personalities and their messages. I didn’t understand a thing! It was like all of your questions bouncing back at you with no answers...! So, I went back to Vivekananda who was easier for my little brain.<br /><br />As you all probably know, UG died in March 2007. Listen to his parting message. The person asking him questions is Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt.<br /><br />Human mind is very random like our life and world. More you try to understand, more meaningless it appears. May be, that was his message??<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SSUFvhLlXQA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SSUFvhLlXQA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24328089-3629653022174869963?l=nvittal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>nvittalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15964030074365990572noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24328089.post-82448330055719697322007-02-12T05:55:00.000-08:002007-03-29T12:30:11.396-07:00Hope you all had a good weekend.
