Seraphis1:
It doesn't matter what the culture was like in India during Ramakrishna's time. An adult man who lives according to love wouldn't have sex with a boy.
As I told you can't prove ramakrishna had sex with under age boys... this is libelous... in a court of law you would be paying ramakrishna a major financial settlement...
The below is a case of moral relativism used in a non-discriminitive way. There are some cultures where people owned slaves, certainly this isn't okay. There are some cultures where women are oppressed, certainly this isn't okay.
It isn't alway relative. If you do something to hurt another, then you do something to hurt another, regardless of how unenlightened the culture you live in is.
Come on, men holding hands is hardly the same thing.
Either we can give the fraudulent gurus of this World power by contending that we can't know anything, or we can give ourselves more credit.
If you took the time to do some thorough research you would find that more than inuendo is involved.

Hi All: Ramakrishna never had physical sex with anyone. You can’t prove he did beyond a reasonable doubt and absolute certainty. I can’t prove he didn’t to a moral certainty. But, as a student of his writings I know he claims not to have had even a “wet dream” which is natural for male humans at specific developmental times. He married by custom but never consummated the marriage. He was in my opinion a high level avatar in the Hindu/yogic belief system, probably operating in what TMI would deem levels at or above focus 34 and 37 (when I am skilled enough to verify directly this premise I will report it here). Some of you are displaying an appalling lack of information about cultures. In the India of that time and place what you call pedohilia was not a taboo… to an Indian that was just part of their way of life. Those of you who are screaming and yelling about other practices are doing so from your own rigid belief system restraints, imposing your personal values or hang ups on the Indian world. What their practices are today I do not know. Men in the Muslim world walk about holding hands which is appalling to westerners. Those of you who are jumping out of your skin over these cultural variations without looking into the cultural norms of those societies are displaying an amazing level of intolerance and ignorance, that is rising to the level of obscene. But that is just my opinion. When in Rome do as the Romans do… if these Indian mystics come to America and practice pedophilia I wholeheartedly endorse prosecution to the full extent of the law. Here it is illegal. But in their own countries it is the business of that society and that society alone.
Hi Recoverer: you have serious psychological problems my friend... now you want to reach into another culture and tell them how they should have behaved over a century ago... pardon my french but that is daft. Just an opinion.
Men holding hands walking down the street in most american cities will get them killed or beat up... what planet are you on... do a reality check.
