Subject: does Sankara Saranam knows more than master?


"Firstly, Brother assumed that one needs to be Self-realized in order to understand the scriptural words of other masters. This is not true."

"To say that the few words recorded in The New Testament that Christ actually spoke can only be interpreted by an enlightened yogi is also incorrect. After all, Christ spoke them to his fellow Jews, not for the sake of Paramahansaji to interpret them two thousand years later."

"Brother Anandamoy's initial assumption--is just wrong."

"Master wished to introduce new meanings to the passages in The New Testament, but on what authority? He couldn't simply point to his Ph.D. in Classical Greek and The New Testament in order to establish such an authority. Neither could Master simply state, "My guru told me this is what the book really meant." He had to claim that his intuitive perceptions gave him the authority to interpret scripture."

"Having studied the entire Mahabharata up to the Gita from an unabridged source, I must, however, point out one edition to Master's Gita that may need to be seriously considered. It involves statements that assume that the Gita was relayed by Samjaya to the blind King Dhrtarastra in real time while the dialogue between Krsna and Arjuna was actually taking place. I can say with certainty that Samjaya relayed the Gita dialogue well after it occurred. "

I am surprised to see this.
