mitradena,
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Why does Ramakrishna Mission hesitate to call itself Hindu?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You are referring to the court case where Ramakrishna mission lawyers told the court that Ramakrishna founded a new religion. You have to understand the reason for the statement. Ramakrishna mission was under severe pressure at that time from West Bengal Govt to allow Communist cadres into the boards controlling their schools, colleges, hospitals and orphanages. If the cadres had been allowed in then they would have enforced the teaching of Das Kapital instead of Ramakrishna's teachings. Ramakrishna mission Swamis were also beaten up by the cadres. Lawyers told the mission that the only way they can save their organization from Govt control was to declare themselves non-hindu since Indian constitution gave absolute protection to non-hindu organizations. Ramakrishna mission lost the case but the case stopped WB Govt from taking any action for nearly 20 years. The present WB govt is bankrupt and cannot take over their organization.

Ramakrishna mission is a registered as a Buddhist organization in Bihar for the same reason.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Also why did Ramakrishna and Vivekananda praise Christianity while being dismissive of traditional orthodox Hinduism?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Ramakrishna did not praise Christianity but praised Jesus for his sermon on the mount. Ramakrishna regarded all religions as paths to God and in that sense he felt that all religions are true. Ramakrishna also said that all religions have errors. Ramakrishna did not accept the Christian doctrine of original sin and the Christian claim that liberation can only be obtained through Jesus.

Ramakrishna and Vivekananda criticized orthodox Hinduism for its slavish adherence to casteism. Casteism was a big problem, a significantly greater problem, in the nineteenth century than now and Christian missionaries were taking advantage of casteism.
