Hello Branka AND EVERYONE,
I love all your posts with different explanations and informations on the topic being discussed here.
Branka, Thanks for your welcome message with a very important question which many are yet to understand in full.
"My attention was centred at possible relationship between BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD OF ONE AND ALL ON THIS PLANET and COMMUNION. Do you mean a Communion is the same or it is the next level of BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD?..."
The exact meaning as in Collin English Gem Dictionary as follows;
Commune - converse together intimately
Communion - Fellowship; body with common
faith; sharing., -
Communion - participation in sacrament of the Lord's Super: that sacrament, Eucharist.
Since we are all the children of GOD, since many ages, we are BROTHERS AND SISTERS. We may be born in different locations on this planet, to our ancestors at different times of the era. I shall quote here the words of Swami Vivekananda. When he addressed the World Religion Parliament in USA, he called them all, "BROTHERS AND SISTERS....", which no one had used to start their religious speach at that time, whereas he was from India, addressing many religious followers from different countries.....These words have a very deep meaning, philiosophically, than understood by an ordinary person without the Vedic/Upanishadic knowledge.
When we say Brothers and Sisters, intimacy grows, as mentioned above in the meaning of word, Commune, wherein conversing is very loving, close, free etc.,....
Well, now, about Communion;
People coming together with common faith - sharing their religious and other thoughts of oneness with the Lord, with ultimate aim of lifting yourself to the Spiritual world of Communion with the Lord.......
I hope, for the time being, I could give my bit here to start with. May be, many of our friends could explain more here, if they wish, with respect to their own faith/religion.
With Love and peace to all
Rajaram S.K.
