UPON US LIES THE BURDEN, THIS LABOUR OF LOVE

UPON US LIES THE BURDEN, THIS LABOUR OF LOVE

We, the disciples of Ramakrishna, must manifest character enough to set right the movement that has gone wrong of late. Upon us lies the burden, a very heavy burden to bear, which we must duly do to justify our belonging to him. And first of all it must be by absolute continence and the forsaking of greed, never masquerading it as fundraising for doing welfare work or institutional strengthening. Spirituality cannot be for copper coin compromised. Character indeed and manhood to the marrow that must, to quote Swamiji, 'cleave its way through adamantine walls of difficulty.' At a time of great civilisational danger let this be the clarion call---Jai Ramakrishna!

 READ THE QUR'AN AND BE INFORMED

The Qur'an is out there for all Hindus to read and yet they prefer to live in ignorance while nursing such rosy ideas of interfaith harmony and such utterly false notions as 'as many faiths, so many paths' which despite their grand liberalism do not at all address ground realities and in consequence cast a hypnotism of hyper-trust which can only spell the doom on the trusting gullible fools. It is high time to read the Qur'an instead of indulging in idle conjectures.

THE PROMISE OF PARADISE AND THE PRICE TO BE PAID

THE PROMISE OF PARADISE AND THE PRICE TO BE PAID 

This promise of Paradise as reward for martyrdom in war waged against the kafir is a most dangerous proposition. For when zeal and superstition join hands, they form an explosive mix, a detonating mixture causing havoc to civilisation. And history bears ample testimony to it. Civilisations have been rent apart, cultures wiped out, women en masse molested, to put it in allieterated milder terms, men murdered by the hundreds of millions, boys castrated and enslaved to bear watch over captive women cast in harems or sold in the slave markets of Arabia, entire nations converted and reduced to desert culture, places of worship desecrated and destroyed, libraries burnt and heritage obliterated---the list goes on endless. And all in the name of the promise of Paradise with its buxom damsels and blissful sensual life. The first vice, lust, and the third vice, greed, have had their field day and have thrust believers into the night of perpetual ignorance, the very ignorance which they in their vanity aim to remove perforce from the rest of enlightened humanity. What a shame!

Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : কি পরিবর্তন করেছেন তিনি তো দেখতেই পাচ্ছি | দিনে দিনে রসাতলে যাচ্ছে রাজ্য | অধর্মের চাটুকারিতা করা আমার কর্ম নয়, ধর্ম তো নয়ই | অতএব, ওই যে বললাম, বুদ্ধিতে শান দিন, তবেই আমার বক্তব্য বুঝবেন |

Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : If Cardus and cricket can be, why not Mozart and cricket?

Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : পরিবর্তন হবে নিয়তির অমোঘ বিধানে | তা আমার অপেক্ষা রাখে না | কর্মফল পেতেই হবে |

Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : অনশন ছিল না ভোজনের অন্বেষণ ছিল, ভাববার বিষয় |

Sugata Bose @Imtiaz Mahmood : Israel is more powerful than the invoked agency of Erdogan. Hence, his prayer, plea, petition will all go unanswered as the said agency will have exhausted resources to muster strength enough to even defend his diminishing domain, much less destroy the mighty infidel enemy of persistent refusal to submit to his inferior power.

Sugata Bose @Ram Guna : It sure will. But the workings of karma are complex and often imperceptible even as they are seemingly inscrutable.

Sugata Bose @George Adebisi : Despicable doubtlessly but not senile. He is deliberate in his designs, a shrewd politician who is threatening to overturn Mustafa Kemal Pasha's progressive means and take Turkey back inevitably to the days of the Caliphate with its regressive returns.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : You and I, if we support each other, then others will follow. This is the secret of organisation. It grows over time if the ideal be kept intact and activated in daily life. All movements begin with a seminal one of singular power whose following forge bonds in due course that integrate society. So must we keep making sect after sect harmoniously within the general body of Hinduism that will keep the body politic vibrant and strong enough to resist invasive influences while expanding their influence worldwide. All is not lost. In fact nothing is lost if we stick to what Swamiji said, and act accordingly. But it must not be the cherrypicked version of the Ramakrishna Mission but must be our own understanding of Swamiji's virile message of Hindu self-defence and expansion. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Suvam Mukherjee : Why are you shedding tears? Rise in defence of the Dharma.

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Perfect assessment, except for the half sainthood. I do not regard him as a saint at all. To me he was a seminal thinker, intellectual and writer. As regards his revolutionary track-record, the less said the better. The Alipore Bomb Case saw the valiant deaths of two bravehearts, Kanailal Datta and Satyendranath Basu, in their successful bid to save Aurobindo from definite death by the noose. But the succeeding cowardly capitulation before the British authorities by way of submission of revolutionary plans has remained one of the worst blots on the revolutionary movement for freedom. Abdication of leadership trust and responsibility at a critical juncture has cast a perennial blot on Ghosh's career which can never be erased.

Sugata Bose @Fb friend: আমার মত হিন্দুও আছেন যাঁরা লড়তে জানেন, কোনো কারণেই দুর্বল রোদনের বশবর্তী হননা, যাঁরা নেতিবাচক, হতাশাব্যঞ্জক বক্তব্য পেশ করেই ক্ষান্ত হননা, স্বধর্মরক্ষাকল্পে শক্তিমান অবস্থান গ্রহণ করেন সর্বতোভাবে | এই সংখ্যা যত বাড়বে---এবং তা বাড়বেই যুগধর্মানুসারে---ততই সমস্যা সমাধানের দিকে যাবে ও সনাতন সভ্যতা সংরক্ষিত হবে | 🕉 হিন্দু !

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : She (Britain) does and is reaping what she has sown worldwide. But the fallout of it (Islamisation of Britain) could be catastrophic for the world as well which would not be in sync with its overall progression. Hindus are in for a worse global predicament.

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : You have a strange concept of mathematical extension where two minutes equates to a day. And it is not merely a concept. It is idea practised to perfection, albeit often making allowance for further extension beyond the stipulated time of passage of the night and the day.

Sugata Bose @James Afreek : The moon cracked from side to side.

Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : Do you know that 'you' is both singular and plural. Or, are you innocent of grammar? If this rejoinder is difficult to understand and seems nonsensical as well, take the help of another 'you' to make sense of it. Moreover, the literary element and philosophical conception both seem beyond you that you have made such a heavy weather of my observation in the post proper.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 98

MESSAGES GALORE ... 98

1. Would anyone dare call Ambedkar an Islamophobe for his direct criticism of Islam and its practices?

2. Sanskrit must be patronised and popularised for the cultural preservation and civilisational perpetuation of the Hindus.

3. Left, right and centre we are Hindus. 🕉 

4. If Chinmoy Krishna Das is martyred in prison, it will be Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerji revisited. He must be immediately unconditionally released.

5. Is God ever too busy to receive our call?

6. Brahmanical qualities must be preserved and where best to do so than in brāhmans who have forgotten their heritage. Awake! 🕉

7. Home is happiness and most so when mother is there.

8. Even in Rome be at home.

9. Mother never forsakes though doubts may arise like that of Christ on the Cross.

10. You call Him Father. We call Her Mother. They are one and the same. Just perspectives differ as per cultural conditioning.

11. My posts are often obscure because they follow the poetic course and express my soul seeking articulation for the moment.

12. হিন্দু, জাগো !

13. 'আমি', 'আমি' করতেই ব্যস্ত সব দুষ্ট নেতানেত্রী যাদের কথা স্মরণ করলেও চিত্ত কলুষিত হয় | যত সব দেশদ্রোহীর দল, স্বাধীনতার পূর্ণ সুযোগ নিয়ে দেশের সর্বনাশসাধনে উদ্যত | এর জন্যই কি স্বামীজী, নেতাজী ও আরো অগণিত বীরবৃন্দ সর্বস্ব ত্যাগ করেছিলেন ? বিদেশী শোষকের চেয়ে এরা বড় কম শয়তান নয় |

14. Islam is based on faith. But a basis in faith is extremely insecure. Any moment it can crumble under the sledgehammer blows of reason. Is this why questioning the fundamental tenets of Islam deemed blasphemous and punishable even by death? But how long can evolving man's thinking capacity be stifled and prophetic propositions propped up perforce?

15. What does 'Imaandaar' mean? Common conception is that such a one is a person of honour. But it actually means that such a one is a true follower of Islam.

16. When politicians make fools of themselves on foreign soil, it becomes an embarrassment for the nation. I hang my head in shame.

17. How shameless are these politicians, what traitors to the nation that they project a bad image of her before the wide world, especially when standing on foreign soil!

18. Man is Truth, greater than all the gods he worships, greater than God Himself, greater than the scriptures he studies and tries to abide by, greater than birth, greater than death, greater than  life itself. Man is the beholder, the witness of all the panoramic phenomenal happening, existence itself, consciousness itself, undivided, integral, singular, whole. Man is Man!

19. The world is ruled by rogues.

20. Rationalise religion or get bypassed by the emerging scientific civilisation.

21. God speaks to prophets in their mother tongue. So considerate! Else, revelation in uttered word would have certainly failed.

22. Is the brain then not the originator of thought but the receptor, processor and transmitter of the same?

23. The love of life is the kiss of death.

24. 

Why go abroad 

With a begging bowl, 

Miss your goal 

And sell your soul?

25. Be proud to be a Hindu and valorously, vigorously so. Resist the Dawah or invitation to Islam. Likewise resist Christian evangelism.

26. Hypocrisy of politicians is sickening. The older they grow, the worse turn their hypocrisy takes.

27. We need a strong, wise, articulate and uncompromising Hindu leader of character who can deliver us from our impending calamitous fate.

28. Hiding in Hyde Park.

29. Those who say, "l am for all, I am for unity," are for none even as they forge disunity in the polity to serve self-interest.

30. মহারাজ তাঁদের বলব যাঁরা আধ্যাত্মিক ঐশ্বর্যে সমৃদ্ধ, যাঁদের চৌদ্দ আনা মন সংঘের ভৌতিক শক্তিবৃদ্ধির তরে ব্যয়িত নয় |

31. Mozart would have died twice to have heard 'batter' instead of 'batsman'. Batters the music out of you.

32. A religion that has spread through conquest, coercion and conversion is no religion. It is detrimental to human society.

33. আমি আজও মেনে নিতে পারিনি 'বন্দে মাতরম'কে পালটে 'জয় হিন্দ' করা হয়েছিল, সে যে কারণেই হোক |

34. কত বড় বীরাঙ্গনা মহিলা যে তাঁর গর্ভে ভগত সিং জন্মেছিলেন !

35. The revolutionaries were all supremely spititual for they transcended bodily limitations in their zeal to free the motherland.

36. Patriotism is sacrifice, not raising false slogans.

37. Do not weaken the revolutionary spirit of Swamiji that had inspired thousands to sacrifice their all for the motherland's freedom.

38. Durga Bhabi, revolutionary, the selfless all-sacrificing wife of martyred revolutionary Bhagwati Charan Vohra.

39. যে জাতি নিজের স্বাধীনতা সংগ্রামীদের ভুলে মূর্খ মন্ত্রীদের মোসাহেবি করতে পারে, সে জাতির দুর্দশা ঘোঁচাবে কে ?

40. স্বামীজীকে বুঝতে হলে বিপ্লবীদের জীবনী পড়ুন | মহাদেবসম এই মহাপুরুষকে বুঝবার এই প্রকৃষ্ট উপায় |

41. My ma is Sarada Devi, not Jayalalitha, my dada Swamiji, not Sourav Ganguly, and my didi Rani Lakshmi Bai, not Mamata Banerjee.

42. Jatin Das fasted for 63 days and died. Gandhiji fasted until 'death' but lived. And there was one that feasted while 'fasting'.

43. Our politicians are an insult to our revolutionaries who died for freedom. And the worst offenders are the flatterers to power.

44. Kālāpāni or the Black Waters.

45. I will be born again and again to serve my mother--India.

46. Money weakens character and men becomes apologists for the exploitative status quo.

47. Had it not been for the armed revolutionaries who taught the British their due lesson, I would have lost faith in Indian manhood.

48. পরিবর্তন? দিনে দিনে রাজ্য রসাতলে যাচ্ছে | দুর্নীতির চূড়ান্ত ! মোসাহেবি, চাটুকারিতা, মিথ্যাচার, চুরির চূড়ান্ত, অনুপ্রবেশ, সর্বরকম অবিদ্যামায়ার প্রসার---এই কি পরিবর্তনের সংজ্ঞা ? বাংলার ভবিষ্যৎ ভয়াবহ |

49. বাংলার এই হাল আগে কখনও হয়নি | চরিত্র, আদর্শ, ত্যাগ, সেবা, নিঃস্বার্থ দেশপ্রেম---আজ সব বিলুপ্ত | ঘোরতর দুর্দিন, ভয়াবহ ভবিষ্যৎ !

50. India was heating up for revolution. But Gandhiji lowered the temperature each time. Less than critical heat, the revolution never happened and here we are paying for its consequences.

51. Each Hindu must stand up for the defence of every other Hindu. In unity lies our strength. Look around and sleep no more. Awake!

52. 

সর্বধর্ম সমন্বয় ! 

কি বলেন কর্তা মশাই ?

53. 

'যত মত, তত পথ |'

তাই কি, ভগীরথ ?

54. হিন্দু অবশিষ্ট না থাকলে থাকবে কি সর্বধর্ম সমন্বয় ? থাকবে ঠাকুরের বাণী ? কেউ মানবে 'যত মত, তত পথ' ?

55. হিন্দু সংহতিই হিন্দুরক্ষার উপায় |

56. 

'যত মত, তত পথ |'

তা'লে কেন চলে উলটো রথ ?

57. ঠাকুর ধর্মরক্ষা আর অধর্মনাশ করতেই তো এসেছিলেন | কিন্তু কার্যতঃ অধর্ম রক্ষা পেল আর ধর্ম নাশ হল | ইতিহাস আপাততঃ অবতারকে পরাস্ত করে চলেছে |

58. The same laws should apply for all citizens of India without exception. Only then is legal equality achievable.

59. Roadside namāz must be forthwith prohibited. Causing inconvenience to traffic and to pedestrians is incompatible with piety.

60. Let us dance while Bengal gets Islamised. Song and dance divine will save us from the sword.

61. Politicians who are making room for the Islamisation of Bengal are crooks.

62. Reject antinational crooks and rebuild the motherland beginning with Bengal.

63. The early Bengal revolutionaries barring Aurobindo Ghosh still inspire me, especially men like Rash Behari Bose, Sachindranath Sanyal and Hemchandra Ghosh. Their sustained sacrifice for the freedom of the motherland spanning decades is my life breath in this age of declining values when selfishness has become the hallmark of every 'icon' stealing the limelight.

64. Pritilata Waddedar and Kalpana Datta---the dual dynamite of Chittagong.

65. হিন্দির 'জানবুঝকর' হয়ে গেছে বাংলায় 'জেনেবুঝে' | বাহবা বাংলার চলমান হিন্দিআয়ন ! নদীপথে ভাষা বেশ চলেছে !

66. From the horizontal to the vertical is the evolutionary movement.

67. Europe will die if Islamic population explosion continues within its borders. Its Judeo-Christian heritage is under serious threat.

68. Return to Ramakrishna!

69. Industrial greed fuelled by political patronage is ruining the nation at a time when we are internally facing a civilisational threat. Will we survive? If so, how long?

70. 

Bengal, Bengal, burning bright.

How in Oxford torrid sight! 

Ah, pathetic, pitiful plight!

71. The Waqf Amendment Bill to be tabled today at noon in Parliament. The outcome will be momentous either way.

72. 

The Master whom nobody follows today. No wonder he is due to descend again soon, very soon, to reestablish his flouted ideals.

73. What is the real nature of an Islamic state? Read history, look around to see what's going on in the Islamic states and conclude.

74. So much of India is Waqf property? My goodness! Prior to Muslim invasion India was wholly ours. Now no more? What sort of freedom did we achieve then on the grounds of religion? After all the Muslims got their pound of flesh in Pakistan by dismembering the motherland on both her flanks. And yet the Waqf Board with its huge holdings and increasing evermore?

75. Hindus should not sell civilisational interest to money. Commerce cannot take precedence over culture. Heritage must be reclaimed and preserved. Civilisation must link up to its disrupted past and continuum sought thereon. Hindus must value age-old civilisation over pecuniary profit of the hour.

76. This relentless war of words that I wage to defend Hindu interests is what is called 'dharmayuddha'.

77. Evil must be eliminated and righteousness restored. That is the Avatar's call.

78. This is an ideological war and it will be won. The days of evil are numbered.

79. The moonlit night or the starlit heavens cannot match the radiance of the morning sun. The dewy dawn will dispel darkness.

80. The influence of the Sanatan Dharma has been shrinking for over a millennium. India has been broken in brokering a deal for freedom. Now internally the threat looms large as intolerance of faith that is essentially antithetical to pluralism and democracy grows larger by the day.

81. As peace plays politics, war looms large. The perfidies of the times are pernicious indeed.

82. Patriotic triplespeak, communal liberalism.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1612P3VPFz/ 

83. দিদি ? কার দিদি ? আমার নয় | দাদা ? কার দাদা ? আমার নয় | আমার দিদি, দাদা এ রকম নন | তাঁরা চরিত্রবতী, চরিত্রবান | 

84. Politicians are politicians, crooks of a kind.

85. Call it a religion that declares by way of foundational doctrine that all other religions are false and calls for their destruction or subjugation? No, it is not. It is a fanatical cult in point of truth and is a dark force unleashed on human civilisation to take it back to primeval times when only the predator-prey relation ruled the roost.

86. Conversion is basically stupidity. Immature faiths convert others to their fold.

87. An end to Islamic invasion on Indian land is at hand. The Waqf Amendment Bill is a welcome move.

88. Unless you destroy wicked ideology, wickedness in practice cannot be destroyed. 'Hate the sin, not the sinner.'

89. Kiran Rijiju dazzling in Parliament. This is what character is all about.

90. You cannot have a nation within a nation.

91. India is sovereign and every move to the preservation of that end is dharma.

92. Once the Islamisation of Europe will be irreversibly advanced to spell its doom, today's liberals will understand that the far-right were not all this while indulging in hate-speech after all. The same applies to India. Truth-telling is not indulging in hate-speech.

93. This strange stupid business of conversion is a blot on civilisation and is taking us to medieval barbarism, to roguish tribalism.
