Replies to the comments of Shri Tomfire, who has observed as under. I have seen the comments only today. Hence the delayed response. My apologies for replying after nearly three years.

1. To clear the clouds, clarification: I am not a Christian Missionary. Nor am I a Muslim Cleric or Mullah. I am not paid by them.
I am a born Hindu. I have not left Hinduism.
I have due respects to Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and his disciple Swami Vivekananda.
Today some Governments take that whoever criticises them is anti-National or a Terrorist. Similarly, a person who criticizes Hinduism within reasonable limits, need not be treated anti-Hindu.
It is meaningful for Hindus to be worried about indiscriminate conversions which are taking place in India by misleading propaganda, and by offering inducements using funds received from EURACANZ (Europe, America, Canada Australia, and New Zealand) , and Gulf countries particularly from Saudi Arabia. For that solution is definitely not-- hating domestic non-Hindus. The Government of India and the State Governments have to make suitable laws for preventing misleading propaganda and inducement conversions, and enforce them. The Governments have to nearly ban Foreign Contributions and Donations to convert Indians.
We must keep in mind that the Ancestors of INdian Muslims and Christians were Hindus only , in the meaning of people who were following the diverging living styles prevalent in Ganga-Indus-Brahmaputa-Narmada-Tapti-Krishna-Godavari-Kaveri River Basins from 1000AD to 1947AD. Why the ancestors of present Indian Christians and Muslims shifted to other Religions? 1. Owing to oppressions and repressions which went on in Hinduism 2. Use of violence by Turkish, Persian, Arab, Mongolian Invaders. 3. Encouragement given by European Colonialists to Christian Missionaries. While these are historical facts, it does not mean that we (existing HIndus) and those whose ancestors converted, should live hating one another forever. Mutual Hatred will be destructive to both. Mutual Hatred and Recriminations, will lead to eternal condemnation of all Indians to Hell. National Resurrection is possible, by reforms in all the INdian Religions and Life Styles (cultures).

About wearing of Shoes by Paramahamsa Monks
.I have not written about Shri Ramakrishna as an ordinary monk. I wrote about him, as a highly revered Paramahamsa Monk (Paramahamsa=Great Swan.). Swans are "hamsa-s" in Sanskrit. Then I am referring to a person who did not worry about his hair, when he swept the floors in Dakshineswar Temple. A person who sweeps Temple Premises with his hair, gives us an impression that he will not bother about his body's comforts or its physical appearance. Similarly Shri Ramakrishna was not an ordinary man. He shudders at Gold, silver and money. He gets "disturbed, agitated" when a coin is placed under his bedsheets. That means "Extreme vairAgya" is displayed. Shoes will be inconsistent with this "Extreme vairagya".
Most-important: I am a householder. I am not a "VirAgi". Please do not expect the behavior of a "VirAgi" from me. My concern, is that, Packing, Labels, Samples, and the Product Inside should have harmony (we call Sriti, laya in music) vis-a-vis one another.
Shri Ramakrishna's mingling with Wealthy persons of Kolkata seemed to have influenced him to accept comforts and luxuries consciously. For this reason only, he seems to have guided his main- disciples to ask the householders to pay horse-carriage charges from Dakshineswar to Kolkata, whenever he visited the Rich Devotees' Homes for discourses and kirtans. For this reason only, it appears that he did not object to one of his disciples hiring a big House in Kashipur, Kolkata @ Rs.65/- per month (seems to be high for the 1880-1890 India's prices) for his stay during his medical treatment. Thus, Gods, Godpersons, Temples, Monks become the servants of Wealth Devotees.
There must be harmony between Packing, Labels, Samples, and the inner Product
.Packing refers to dress, such as clothes, shoes, forehead-marks, garlands of beads. To continue, as I have an interruption.
