Again and again and again. Same question different clothing...'Neo-Vedanta' is a term given my Western scholars as a way to denigrate ALL Hindus...There are no sects or philosophies that identify themselves as Neo-Vedantists.... – Swami Vishwananda Jan 21 '19 at 14:14
Again, there are no sects or groups that identify themselves as 'neo-Vedantins'. This term was invented by Western Christian orientalists to denigrate the Hindu religion. – Swami Vishwananda Jan 16 '19 at 12:08
This is not the site to denigrate particular sect or group of people. – Pandya♦ Jan 16 '19 at 12:19
Term "Neo-Vedanta" is not recognized by Hindus. Western Orientalists coined that word to denigrate Hinduism. Better if you avoid using that. Be respectful to all sects. – The Destroyer♦ Jan 16 '19 at 13:21
Neo-Vedanta is just a term coined by someone and nothing else and not followed by anyone so the question of modification does not arise. – Pinakin Dec 9 '18 at 4:41
@ChinmaySarupria What would you call those set of beliefs then? – Ikshvaku Dec 9 '18 at 15:01
Which set of beliefs? There is no one in Hinduism who tried to westernize or modernize traditional Hinduism. – Pinakin Dec 9 '18 at 15:26
@ChinmaySarupria Vivekananda tried to do it. He himself admitted that many ancient Hindu rituals, like animal sacrifice, are barbaric. – Ikshvaku Dec 9 '18 at 15:39
Yes, animal sacrifice are barbaric because people didn't knew how to do it. Swami Vivekananda's guru Sri Ramakrishna also mentioned that only certain sacrifices done with proper procedure are good as they are beneficial for that particular animal. People with half knowledge were slaughtering animals so God incarnated in the form of Buddha and stopped the barbarism to a large extent. – Pinakin Dec 9 '18 at 16:22
@ChinmaySarupria Ok, then if that's the justification he used, then that's correct. – Ikshvaku Dec 9 '18 at 16:23
There's no thing called Neo Vedanta and it is just a word coined by westerners. All your questions assume there's a sect called neo Vedanta. – The Destroyer♦ Dec 10 '18 at 6:32
What @ChinmaySarupria said it correct. There are rules laid out in Sastras how to do certain Sacrifices. If Swami Vivekananda said something about them, then it must be there in some Sastras and It could not be just to entertain western principles. – The Destroyer♦ Dec 10 '18 at 6:46

Please purge this tag, which is one of the reasons for unwarranted debates in this site
