reinforcing one another.

Sri Sarada Devi's Disciple: Swami Aseshananda as We Knew
Him
Now
available to read online with newly added reminiscences.
"Esther Warkov has rendered a
signal service to the Ramakrishna Vedanta community, not only in America but worldwide, by assembling more than 60 remembrances
of one of the great swamis of the second generation of our
movement – those who knew Sri Sarada Devi and the direct disciples of Sri
Ramakrishna. We in America are indeed fortunate that so many of
these monks were sent here to give spiritual guidance. They have been
a living link to the founders of the movement. "

Three Articles by
Gopal Stavig
It is well-known that
there are many similarities between the Babylonian and
Hebrew creation and flood stories found in the Old
Testament. What has been overlooked in over a century of
Bible research is that the Indian creation and flood
narratives are as close to those of the Babylonian as
are the Hebrews (see “Historical Contacts Between
Ancient India and Babylon”*); and the Indian creation
and flood stories are as similar to the Hebrews as are
the Babylonian (see “India and the Biblical Old
Testament”**). Since the historical records are
incomplete, it is difficult to prove which of these
three ancient civilizations had these stories first. -
