Why did Vivekananda collapse ? :Atheist thesis
- 1. The Cause of Vivekananda’s collapse : Atheist Thesis. Faisal Rahman
- 2. introduction • Swami Vivekananda was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. (Wikipedia)
- 3. • began his speech with "Sisters and brothers of America!". At these words, Vivekananda received a two-minute standing ovation from the crowd of seven thousand. According to Sailendra Nath Dhar, when silence was restored he began his address, greeting the youngest of the nations on behalf of "the most ancient order of monks in the world, the Vedic order of sannyasins, a religion which has taught the world both tolerance, of and universal acceptance. (Wikipedia)
- 4. • At the time of his death he was suffering from 31 type of ailment, including asthma, diabetes, insomnia, migraine, Liver and kidney diseases.
- 5. • In this thesis, we shall investigate two issues from a scientific and atheistic point of view. • 1. What is the source of his Psychic power that he displayed in the west? • 2.Why he died at the age of 39 from 31 type of disease ?
- 6. Atheism is scientific • Philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud have argued that God and other religious beliefs are human inventions, created to fulfill various psychological and emotional wants or needs. This is also a view of many Buddhists, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, influenced by the work of Feuerbach, argued that belief in God and religion are social functions, used by those in power to oppress the working class.(Wikipedia) • God is 0.
- 7. Idolatry is unscientific • Sigmund Freud says Idolatry evolved from man’s repressed sexual desire . The sons killed their father driven by Oedipus complex . After that they made an icon in lieu of their father because of their guilt and began to worship it.
- 8. • James Frazer say’s Primitive people had no scientific knowledge they saw dead men in their dreams and believed that every thing has a soul . So they began to worship nature .this way idolatry originated.
- 9. • We are assuming that Vivekananda was originally an atheist.
- 10. • Vivekananda concentrated on 0. Like he said “ If you have zeroness inside you ,you will feel heroness of Ishta- Devta inside you “ • Meditating about a 0 God unleashed the psychic power that is locked with in the mind.
- 11. Quantum mechanics. • This is Quantum mechanics that wave function collapse depends on the observer who is measuring the system. • Consciousness can effect matter, this concept is also found in Vedanta.
- 12. • Some says Quantum Mechanics means every thing has consciousness . • We can assume that nature has consciousness .It is a cosmic consciousness.
- 13. • Some scientists claim that dogs have ESP. • Dr. Fox believes that animals can tap into what he calls the “empathosphere,” where thoughts and feelings physically exist. Animals seem able to detect events at a geographical distance or to find their way to useful places (such as the locations of their masters) even if they’ve never been to those locations before. This arises from their heightened empathy, according to Dr. Fox.(Internet) • Then it is reasonable to think there is some sort of intangible force field that reacts with human mind.
- 14. • Vivekananda’s 0 status of mind exerted an intangible force field on the minds of the audience . That is why people became mesmerized. • But then He also made a mistake. • He preached idolatry.
- 15. • We are all born idolaters, and idolatry is good, because it is in the nature of man. Who can get beyond it? Only the perfect man, the God-man. The rest are all idolaters. So long as we see this universe before us, with its forms and shapes, we are all idolaters. This is a gigantic symbol we are worshipping. He who says he is the body is a born idolater. • (Vivekananda)
- 16. Vivekananda’s reaction to the Christian scholarship. • During the colonial era, Christian missionaries aiming to convert Hindus to Christianity wrote memoirs and books that were widely distributed in Europe, where Murti were claimed as the evidence of lack of spiritual heritage in primitive Hindus, of "idolatry and savage worship of stones“. practices akin to Biblical demons, calling Murti as monstrous devils to eroticized bizarre beings carved in stone. • (Wikipedia)
- 17. • Vivekananda was reacting to the Christian scholarship . He was saying that Hindus are not savages , they have a highly developed philosophy ,Vedanta . Their idolatry is not a mere practice of Animism . But vedantism is synonymous with quantum Mechanics . • Nature is prevailed with cosmic consciousness.
- 18. • Now , Atheism = scientific and idolatry = unscientific . • When Vivekananda preached idolatry , he preached unscientific theory . So the cosmic consciousness destroyed his consciousness. He fell sick and died.
- 20. • Buddhism does not advocate belief in gods. Early Buddhism was atheistic as Gautama Buddha’s path involved no mention of gods. Later conceptions of Buddhism consider Buddha himself a god, suggest adherents can attain godhood, and revere Bodhisattvas and Eternal Buddha.(Wikipedia) • So, Buddhist God =0
- 21. • Muslims are like atheist , they worship a 0 God .Their temple has no image of the God. • Islamic kalma says “ there is no God But God “ • God=0 and God =1 • So the first part kalma is like that of Buddhism . • God =0
- 22. • Then Buddhism and Mohammedanism both are Atheist spiritualism • Practitioners concentrate on 0 God. • The psychic power comes from 0 .
- 23. • When Vivekananda was An atheist he was classified with Mohammedans and Buddhists . • So spiritual power with in him developed. • But when he preached idolatry he became classified with the anti spiritual force . • The spirit of atheism destroyed his consciousness. • Vivekananda died from adverse effects of idolatry.
- 24. • Samkhya ,science and Atheism
- 25. Samkhya is strongly dualist.[Sāmkhya philosophy regards the universe as consisting of two realities; puruṣa(consciousness) and prakṛi (matter). Jiva (a living being) is that state in which puruṣa is bonded to prakṛti in some form.This fusion, state the Samkhya scholars, led to the emergence of buddhi ("intellect") and ahaṅkāra (ego consciousness). The universe is described by this school as one created by purusa-prakṛti entities infused with various permutations and combinations of variously enumerated elements, senses, feelings, activity and mind.During the state of imbalance, one of more constituents overwhelm the others, creating a form of bondage, particularly of the mind. The end of this imbalance, bondage is called liberation, or kaivalya, by the Samkhya school.
- 26. • Puruṣa, the eternal pure consciousness, due to ignorance, identifies itself with products of prakṛti such as intellect (buddhi) and ego (ahamkara). This results in endless transmigration and suffering. However, once the realization arises that puruṣa is distinct from prakṛti, is more than empirical ego, and that puruṣa is deepest conscious self within, the Self gains isolation (kaivalya) and freedom (moksha). (wikipedia)
- 27. • Prakṛti remains unmanifested as long as the three gunas are in equilibrium. This equilibrium of the gunas is disturbed when prakṛti comes into proximity with consciousness or Purusha. The disequilibrium of the gunas triggers an evolution that leads to the manifestation of the world from an unmanifested prakṛti. The existence of God or supreme being is not directly asserted, nor considered relevant by the Samkhya philosophers. Sāṃkhya denies the final cause of Ishvara(God) (Wikipedia)
- 28. • So we see , • according to Samkhya God=0 . • Consciousness manifests the material world which is consistent with quantum physics . • Samkya is scientific.
- 29. Theory • A consciousness that concentrates on 0 , Becomes 0. Therefore, it becomes a God (Because God =0 ) • Consciousness =God=0. • It becomes able to exert power on mater and can effect wave function collapse. • When ,God=0 , then, Idol =0 , Ego=0 , • Matter =0 • As a result The consciousness get freed from the matter and can manifest the matter.
- 30. • Vivekananda like Buddha concentrated on 0 . • When, God=0, Idol=0 ,Ego=0,then Matter =0 . His consciousness got freed from the material existence. • But later , when he said “ idolatry is natural “,”Idolatry is not a sin“. He became anti scientific, anti –atheist and anti-samkya. • His levitated mind experienced the force of inertia or the material world and The reverse process destroyed his consciousness.
- 31. Vivekanandism • Vivekananda wanted to unify religions based on Dialectic method. • Thesis + anti thesis = Synthesis • Like the weight of 330 million gods can be balanced with the weight of the one god at some point of a lever. • But physics can’t be used in this way to unify religions. • He was destroyed by the Cosmic consciousness for his unscientific attempts.
- 33. • Vivekananda’s father used to mix up with the Islamic scholars. • His Teacher Ramakrishna used to perform namaz on irregular basis. • Ramakrishna learnt Namaz from Govinda Roy , Who used to perform Namaz five times daily.
- 34. • In 1866, Govinda Roy, a Hindu guru who practised Sufism, initiated Ramakrishna into Islam. Ramakrishna said that he "devoutly repeated the name of Allah, wore a cloth like the Arab Muslims, said their prayer five times daily, and felt the same connection with the almighty that he did when praying to the divine Goddess Kali.(wikipedia) • one of his remarkable visions: “I was meditating under the banyan tree when I was shown a Mussalman (a Muslim). He came to me with rice in an earthen plate. The Mother (Kali) showed me that there exists only One and not two. It is Satchidananda (Truth - Knowledge - Bliss - Absolute, Brahman) alone that has taken various forms; He alone has become the world and its living beings.”(Internet)
- 35. • You ... people have very hard ideas and are so superstitious and prejudiced! These messengers must have come from God, else how could they have been so great? • We must not judge them. Christ may judge Mohammed. Who are you and I? Little babies. What do we understand of these great souls? ... • (Vivekananda ) (internet)
- 36. • We can see • Vivekananda’s teacher used to perform namaz . And he believed that Jesus and Mohammad are the messengers from the God. • Therefore it is logical to assume that Vivekananda used to perform namaz.
- 37. God in Quran • Say , Allah is one. • God=0 • Allah depends on none. • Allah has no father and no son. • God=f(0); 0=f(God) • Allah is equal to none. • God=0 • (Sura:Ikhlas)
- 38. • Islamic God is 0 Like atheism . • Muslims worship a 0 God . • Repeatedly concentrating on a 0 God makes their mind 0. • From a 0 mind comes God like power. • Nobody will be able to attain a 0 status of mind without the namaz.
- 39. • I am firmly persuaded that without the help of practical Islam, theories of Vedantism, however fine and wonderful they may be, are entirely valueless to the vast mass of mankind. (Vivekananda). • Now my reader ;you understand Why Vivekananda thought that without Islam the Vedanta is useless. • Without Practical Namaz it is not possible to attain a 0 mind or perfect atheism.
- 40. • God is God. There is no philosophy, no complicated code of ethics. "Our God is one without a second, and Mohammed is the Prophet." ... Mohammed began to preach it in the streets of Mecca. ... They began to persecute him, and he fled into the city of [Medina]. He began to fight, and the whole race became united. [Mohammedanism] deluged the world in the name of the Lord. The tremendous conquering power! ... • (Vivekananda)
- 41. • Mohammad had a 0 mind like Buddha which is the source of his God like power. • But his radius of spiritual circumference were far greater than that of the Buddha’s. • While Buddha only found a 0 God , Mohammad saw further than that and found an 1 God, also.
- 42. Idolatry in Quran • [4:116] GOD does not forgive idol worship (if maintained until death),* and He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who idolizes any idol beside GOD has strayed far astray. • [39:65] It has been revealed to you, and to those before you that if you ever commit idol worship, all your works will be nullified, and you will be with the losers.
- 43. • Vivekananda attained his 0 state of Consciousness through Namaz (Worshiping of 0 God). • But later , when he said “Idolatry is natural” , “ Idolatry is not a sin”. • He became Anti-scientific , anti atheist and anti –Quran. • So the cosmic consciousness or the consciousness of Science , destroyed him
