The final section will compare Gandhi with Ramakrishna’s failed Tantric initiation and Sri Aurobindo’s relationship with Mira Richards, better known simply as The Mother.

It is also possible that that Gandhi’s sexual experiments may have been an abuse of personal power rather than a practice of Hindu spirituality.
On November 7, 1966, hundreds of sadhus and Gau Rakshaks, who were part of the anti-cow slaughter agitation, were killed in police firing in Delhi at the behest of the Indira Gandhi government. The death toll was around 500, although the government claim was only 375.
Unlike cow slaughter, there is no social taboo in killing buffalo for meat. Goat and lamb meat are relatively small segments where local demand is outstripping supply.

With a view to freeing one’s self from that wrong notion which is the cause of all evil and attaining thereby the knowledge of the absolute unity of the Self, the study of the Vedânta-texts is begun. That all the Vedanta-texts have the mentioned purport we shall show in this so-called Sariraka-mimamsa.

In consequence, the right of the party aggrieved by the trial court’s decree to file an appeal would get affected.
