[Advaita-l] Govardhan mutt

[sunil bhattacharjya]

Dear Kaushikji,

On a case somewhat similar to* a**pashudradhikarana*, there was an incident
cited in the  Uttara Kanda 7:73-76 of the Ramayana, (Ramayanam Vedasamam),
which indicates that Lord Ram had to kill a shudra named Shambuka, who was
doing tapashya / sadhana, at expense of neglecting his own prescribed duty
of that yuga, and because of that a brahmin boy died. The Ramayana
indicates  that a shudra can do tapashya / sadhana  only in the Kali yuga
(under regular guidance of a guru), when there could be the  possibility of
a shudra being free for doing such tapashya / sadhana.

Secondly, You wrote about Swami Vivekananda as follows*:*
*Also he is well known to eat beef when he visited USA*.
It will be very kind of you if you can tell us when did Swami Vivekananda
take beef and where did you read about it.

Best,
Sunil K Bhattacharjya
