| Totapuri, the supposed lineage, the first "Master" |  | ||

A few years ago I wrote a post where I stated "... Do you know that Maharaji has contradicted his own father as to who was Totapuri's successor? Try doing some research on Totapuri, who is supposedly M's great-great-great-grand-guru. Here's a link: The God Who is a Person. ..." I don't remember what I read that led me to conclude that he contradicted his father. I found a new link to The God Who is a Person "For instance, Totapuri, one of Ramakrishna's teachers, criticized him for worshipping Krishna with dancing, chanting, and clapping hands. Totapuri sarcastically asked ([123],166-7) if Ramakrishna was clapping bread dough between his hands. Totapuri was a strict monist. He regarded Gods who are Persons as mythological, that is, as having less real existence than you or I." A logical problem with this "you need a Master" concept: Who did the first "Master" receive "Knowledge" from? Modified by A at Mon, Mar 13, 2006, 21:51:27 |
