It’s interesting that Vivekananda’s writings emphasis rational thought. He sounds like a dry Western philosopher. I have been to the Vedanta Society and it has the feel of a protestant church service. But Vivekanda himself was an off the charts mystic at the same level as Yogananda. But he understood Western culture and only gave them what they could handle. When you see how Yogananda is ridiculed, it is easy to see the wisdom of his strategy. -

Keep in mind that everything you see in Western media is propaganda designed to sell a particular narrative furthering the aims of the state. "Both America & Israel Have Officially Announced Direct Involvement in Iranian Disturbances’ – FM Araghchi ‘They are trying to turn these peaceful protests and demonstrations into violence and chaos,’ he noted. Araghchi cited a tweet from former CIA director Mike Pompeo which said that ‘Mossad agents were walking alongside Iranians in the streets.’" https://x.com/i/status/2009663959125856386 -

Yogananda also said that Jesus appeared to him confirming that his teachings in "The Second Coming of Christ" was correct. -

It’s clear that the Trump administration is intentionally provoking violence. They want a response that they can exploit with their propaganda machine, some say, in order to have an excuse to suspend elections. Trump is losing popularity fast. A better approach is to focus on regaining political power and then have real accountability. All of the criminals of this administration have to be prosecuted and forced to account for their crimes. Everything needs to be documented. -

Yoganandra went into mahasamadhi and according to a notarized letter from the mortuary director of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, his body showed no signs of decay for weeks afterwards. -

I have studied Yoganandra’s SRF lessons. His basic message is to develop an intense longing to know God. He also has a lot of techniques like Kriya yoga. If you are a Bakti yogi, it could be a good fit. -

Shahid has his biases like everyone else. I think he is one of the best political commentators on the Internet, but I encourage skepticism to get closer to the truth. -

Shahid Bolsen has an interesting take on this. It's not the way it looks. -
I read in the news that Venezuela’s interior minister name is “Diosdado Cabello”. “Diosdado” means “god given” in Spanish. I immediately noticed the similarity to “Devadatta” which is Sanskrit for “God given” and was the name of the conch of Arjuna in the Bhagavada Gita. It always amazes me the similarities between Sanskrit and the other Indo-European languages.

I have studied the Self Realization Fellowship lessons which are based on his writings. I find a lot of the writing to be fuzzy language and not precise or particularly illuminating. But maybe that is just how Bakti Yoga works. Did Jesus really walk on water? -
That last time it took France a few weeks to surrender to Germany. The Germans need to throw off the shackles imposed after World War II and rearm for the sake of Europe.

The European Union won’t work as a governing body. There are too many chiefs. That’s why the United States chose a federal government over a confederacy. The only solution is that Germany needs to take control of Europe. Europe needs to be one entity because it now has two powerful enemies: Russia and the United States. There is now an imminent likelihood that European territory, Greenland, will be invaded and occupied through force by the United States.

If Greenland wants to fight for their independence, they need to be digging in now and preparing for a long occupation. -

Does anyone really think this is a case of Trump going rogue, or is this a deliberate action approved by the controllers of global capital? Is Trump a lone wolf or actually carrying out a well crafted plan approved by the billionaires? Is anyone else sick of being deceived? The elephant in the room here is China. America is losing power and has no choice but to contract into its regional space. America first was always a con job as many of the MAGA idiots have now come to realize. -
Germany needs to rearm itself and get some nuclear weapons.
