- In the annual Hindu View of Life lecture, Ruth Harris examines how Vivekananda conveyed the meaning of “guru-bakhti” to his female disciples, and the spiritual lens through which he sought to mold them in a male spiritual milieu.
Ruth Harris is Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford and Senior Research Fellow at All Souls’ College. She has published widely in the history of religion, science, women’s history, French history, and more recently, global history.
The lecture took place at the Center for the Studies for World Religions on September 23, 2019.

I am a Bengali from Bengal, India. The original name of Swami Vivekananda is "Narendra Dutta". I thank this professor for highlighting the wisdom thought of Vivekananda.
My favourite swami Vivekananda. Read all his books many of which not less than 5-7 times.
Do you have any Hindu speakers? If not, why not?
They are scared of them. 😂😂😂😂

What is your problem?
@@Achintyanath not my problem but for the Abrahamics surely it is. Vedanta poses single biggest threat to the Abrahamics. Vedanta encourages self discovery, use of intelligence, experiences before coming to the conclusion. In Abrahamics, you are discouraged from using rationality, intelligence for soultions. If they come across Vedantis, the Abrahamics fear that they may lose their faith by questioning their faith.

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction "
Red flag.trying to destroy Hindu and swami Ji's image.
Dear Madam, very very interesting talk m, thank you.
This was interesting.
Bad people find dark spots in moon and black dot on wall instead of coolness, naturefullness of moon and wall
And here i found this thing in lady
Can you point out where she has expressed negativity? I find her to be very respectful towards Swamiji
What is so difficult to take on board the relationship of a teacher to the pupil?! Does it always have to be from a Freudian sex based lens?!
these guys bluff themselves in their own trappings, they have no clue when & how Indian philosophy starts with Chandogya and Brihadarnyaka Upanishads.. & what Guru/Shishya traditions these Upanishadic sages set in motion.. they are just clueless and paint their own confusions on both the Sanskrit language that is adult compared to infants in the form of other languages or Hindu philosophy which has similar stature compared to any other philosophy
So Harvard is Hogwarts? I can't believe there is an actual divinity school! How do I get in?
@abhiC9 you are here 🤨🤨🤨
It's a school of religious studies, it's a valid domain of research/study in the field of humanities
Wonderful lecture ! That Swami Vivekananda was competing (in a way) with Sigmund Freud is not really well known in India and would be of great interest to psychology students/researchers/councilors. Thanking the respected Professor for this lecture !

@@Achintyanathbecqsue your parents never teach you real hinduism and scriptures
Unfortunately, most of it is not factual. you first need to be trutful in front of your own mind, courageous in front of your own mind to see comprehend/reality, no amount of scientific toys, no amount of theories, no amount of travel or book reading can help you there.. Noting in philosophy, religion or ideas is as universal as the ideas propounded by Upanishads.. read the oldest ones Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka, 3000 years old, they are the most ancient philosophy, the most universal and the wisest ever known to humanity.. Read what Tat Tvam Asi as told to Svetketu means.. what is this thou art that? What is this Aham Brahmasmi.. what is this Isa VAsyam Idam Sarvam.. But before you should even think of reading this, check if YOU ARE PREPARED TO SEE THE TRUTH AS IT UNFOLDS IN FROMT OF YOUR MIND.. or if you are trapped in your biases/manipulations.
What is not factual?
Interesting.
