Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi: Respecting the Idea of India
A very powerful idea of India that has sustained it over a millennia is that India constitutes a civilization that respects all religions as true. This idea of India is about accepting rather than tolerating diversity. This lecture elaborates why this is the case by drawing from the lives of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda and Mohandas Gandhi. Should we disrespect this tradition?
