THE HYPOCRISY OF IGNORANCE

1. It is good to wish men of all religions well but wrong to remain ignorant about the real nature of fanatical faiths.

2. Liberalism dies not because it is not a force to reckon with but because it is superficial in its treatment of malignant human issues.

THEY WHO TRULY LOVE NETAJI

 1. Dr. Jayanta Choudhuri is afire with the inspiration that is Netaji, athirst for justice for his cause and in pain for the martyrs of Neelgunj and Jhikargaccha.

2. Rajyashree Chaudhury is an activist full of the fire of genuine love for Netaji. Valorous, committed to the core, Netaji is her living God.

3. Bijoy Nag, nephew of Leela (Nag) Roy, had met Bhagawanji for a decade and affirms it for certain that he is Netaji.

4. Dr. Jayanta Choudhuri continues to lead the crusade for the disclosure of the whole truth about Netaji and not pleasing parts of it.

5. Blood-relation to Netaji counts for nothing. It is soul-relation that is paramount and character-formation the test of it.

WHO AM I?

1. I am neither historian nor politician nor Netaji kin. I am but a child of Ramakrishna, unconnected to any.

2. Let the sequel to the Pujas end this unseemly confusion of identity thrust on me by so many through no fault of mine.

3. If your eye be not discerning, is the fault mine? If your judgement be clouded, does it behove me to clear such? I am who I am!

4. It pains me to see how familial infatuation carries to this day and men mistake me to be some else despite my protestations.

5. I'm no kin to Netaji but am kin to the common man who's my brother true. I feel no honour in being thought as else, don't you see?

6. If there's pride in oneself, joy in life, it's all in being true to who I am and not in who ye cast me into. Glory unto the Self!

7. I, an ignorant humble man of no consequence to life around, must so bear indignity, free and foul, to be thrust as one who I am not.

8. All along have I profile set
    Of picture mine and of none else,
    Comedy stirs ye all yet,
    In error abounds and in error swells.

9. My name is my name, so my surname is. Who gives ye the right to challenge me thus?

10. May I reiterate I am unconnected to politics of any kind nor affiliated to any party. I am but a humble servant of the Lord.

11. I go not by familial glory,
      Though glory there is in every line,
      I bask in the shine of none else,
      Though men presume it so fine.

12. It is tiresome to explain to so many people everyday, irksome too that I am not the TMC MP Sugata Bose. I am quite another Sugata Bose.

13. Patience has its limits. Must I change my parent-given name to humour the followers of MP Sugata Bose? Is that what it has come to?

14. With this discerning power where you cannot sift the grain from the chaff you wish to solve the Netaji disappearance mystery?

15. This muddled mass of thinking, messy way about life, this clumsy confused conception, with these will ye solve the Netaji mystery?

16. Before levelling charges at me as to who I am, get off your deluded notions and set your judgement right. I am not your TMC MP.

17. Get your facts right before speaking next as to who I am. It is distasteful to encounter deluded people with fantastic notions.

18. The cover photo is mine, the profile picture is mine and I am no counterfeit soul trying to pose as someone else to garner support for my cause. I am no relation of Netaji nor am I historian nor affiliated to any political party. Stop labelling me foul this way. You dishonour me, dishonour the professor who I am not and, worst of all, insult my mother who gave me this name and face.

19. Everyday adored am I,
      Abused, questioned why I am me,
      I know not what to say to these
      Save to dwell in misery.
   
      Befuddled you are by my use of words,
      In easy poesy they come to me.
      Pray, tell me how it feels to be
      When questioned on identity?

      Who says dynasty the Gandhis bear?
      Foul dynasty's foisted on me.
      Refrain do I as much as I can
      Till they cross limits of decency.

      Bradman's son did change his name
      To Bradsen, I now know why he did
      Two years before his father's death
      Bradman got the Bradsen rid.

     So many of you show not your face
     Take other names on fb fine,
     How dare you then confront me so
     That rides on Self, for Self doth pine?

20. Manusher amake Netajir paribarbhukto korar adamya utsaha dekhe ashcharjyo hoi o bhabi ke bole Bharat ganatantrik desh. Raja chai, raja!

CHHAWRAA / PODYO / POESY

1. Ektu naamei demaak bejaay,
Kahen, "Koren keno groupeytey add?"
'Please' bolaro baalai ne taar,
Dhawmok dyan, too bad, too bad.

2. Facebookeytey pranambhaashan,
Durobhaashey taar aash,
Aaj maanoshlokey baash!

3. In the darkening hour of vesper song
    My soul awake from slumber free,
    In nightly dreams O Lord of sleep
    Be Thou my mate, forever be.

4. Love has trodden the rose-petalled path
    And blossoms have sprung in its wake,
    Fair Fancy's child like dewy drop
    Hath

5. This single leaf of life
    Will in fruition forest be,
    This seed of hope and joy
    Will sprout in ecstasy.
    The desert-sand of life
    Will breathe again and pulse,
    The showers of love divine
    Shall life release in glee.

6. East is afire with stellar beams.
    'tis time to look beyond lunar gleams.

7. My mind soars on the wings of poesy
    To heights sublime beyond this realm,
    My soul transcends this earthly coil,
    In bliss doth it me overwhelm.
    O Lord, Thou art my sole refuge,
    My love supreme, my everything,
    I live in Thee my every pulse,
    Thy Word reveal, thy glory sing.

8. The call of the wild beckons the soul
    Unto primeval times of forest green,
    The call of God ushers one
    Unto the Self, ever unseen.

9. Keshava,
    Dhrita Christa shareer,
    Jaya Jagadeesha Harey,
    Jaya Jagadeesha Harey!

10. Rasta jure ganamichhil,
      Ekei ki bole sabhyata?

      Tobu jabo mora Brigader tarey,

      Kaho hey guptabeer.
      Aajo ki robe, nirobe tumi,
      Nehari dashyadawshaa?
      Aajo apeksha, dwarpathey aankhi,
      Phiribe ey bharoshaa?

11. Ke kaar bhai? Ke kaar bon?
      Por ke bhabo nijo aapon.

12. Matro satya ekti jog,
      Baki sobeyi karo biyog.
      Deher madhye shudhui bhog,
      Tritaapdagdha bhubanrog.

13. Jananben jodi, janun tobey,
      Pracharkarma tobei hobey.
      Noiley brithaa baakyabyay,
      Kaalosrotey kichhu ki robey?

14. Abaar ashibo phirey ami.
      Ei dhoraadhaamey,
      Ei prithwitoley,
      Abaar ashibo phirey ami.

15. Blood-red, the outstretched tongue of Mother,
      Black basalt Her body.
      Her form shakes up heaven and earth,
      Her soul sings rhapsody.

16. She is the final act,
      She, the dispenser of dreams.
      She conjures up folly n fact,
      Oh, She runs in subliminal streams!

17. Ma! Eimatra daakti jaani,
      Aar toh jaana nei.
      Ei naameytei aapon maani,
      Biswabhuban shei.

18. Tubrir nyay manushgulo,
      Bhetorey baarood thhashaa,
      Kato unchu othhe, kato phul katey,
      Bishphoroner bashaa.

19. I am not this name and form
      That I must in duality dwell.
      I am the boundless Self supreme,
      The sea that never doth swell.

20. When ye take from men survival means,
      Ye take away their life as well.
       Life's but in semblance then.
       Empty dream, a veritable hell.

21. Like as the nucleus locks up energy
      While electrons whirl to react,
      Power is lodged in the Atman
      Whose work manifests as fact.

22. My friend fights on with killer dengue,
      He seeps in saline for survival.
      Come ye all and join in prayer,
      Let Spirit disease rival.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, RAJYASHREE DEVI

Sugata Bose A more sustained campaign is necessary, Rajyashree Devi, and we must all work in conjunction. Unfortunately, we Indians somehow cannot combine well enough to make our impact more adequately felt and this is a pity, indeed. Perhaps, this stems from our hankering for personal recognition which is the bane of all truth-seeking. We must remember Netaji and Swamiji in this regard and give our service free of seeking such ephemeral self-glory. Only then will our work bear its rightful result and help the great cause we supposedly represent. It is indeed a pity that the more famous the activist, the more culpable is he to this offence that I have rued of. We must with immediate effect with reference to each other's pertinent posts take to liking, sharing and commenting so that there is widespread diffusion of our ideas which are based on researched and documented truths rather than fanciful concoctions and traitorous dispersion of lies. Netaji and the revolutionary movement have to be paramount in our vision in this crusade for rendering justice to the historical narrative of this nation. In no way must we allow the petty self to play the meddlesome midwife's role for miscarriage of our mission will be the miserable end of it all. I, therefore, exhort you, Rajyashree Devi, to work in alliance with all who are doing seminal work for the restoration of the pride of our nation, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and this I say here only because I value your immense sincerity for the cause and your emotional bond with it. Your noble nature will, for sure, make for allowance of any overstepping of privilege that I may unwittingly have been culpable of in my highlighting of this contentious issue which is not letting the movement gather momentum. And in sending my request to you I do so to all who are in kinship to the cause, holding you to be the representative virile element in this our war on treachery, hypocrisy and downright falsification of history added to which may be the vilification of our hero, the calumny cast on the unsullied being of our patriot premier and the unseemly tag of 'war criminal' attached to his supernal self. I rest and remain in service and loyalty to our beloved motherland, Sugata Bose.

DURGAPUJA ... 2017

1.It is a war that has begun that will end in the triumph of the forces of good over those of evil. Shubha Mahashashthhi!

2. Mahasangramer suchana ja parisamapti ashubhar naash, shubhar bijay. Shubha Mahashashthhi!

3. Mahishaasurke badh korechhilen asurdalani Mahamaya, tnar shathey ahimso-satyagraha koren ni Tini. Shubha Mahashashthhi!

4. Asurer shathey juddha korai Bharater kshaatradharmiya aitihya. Ahimsa adhyatmikmarger poth, samerneetitey byabaharikbhabe achal.

5. India cannot claim to be true to her roots if she keeps on harping on non-violence as the national narrative. It is a falsity that needs immediate reasoned rejection. Mother Herself is the martial spirit embodied.

6. Celebration is fine but character formation finer. Durga Puja must inspire strength of character for it to be fruitful.

7. At a time when we are spending quite liberally, let us remember the unfortunate ones and gift a donation to ease their living.

8. Preparation is the key to spiritual life. Aeons go in getting the wax ready, the illumination but takes a moment.

9. Let us with the eye of purity behold Devi Durga in our womenfolk. Long suppressed, let them breathe the air of freedom.

10. Durga Puja has been the continuing cultural link of Bengal with India's spiritual past and its present renaissance.

11. The rationalist is a person with a stunted vision. He takes a superficial count of things.

12. Out of the darkness emerges the force of evil which the gods invoke the Mother to destroy. The Mother in her benign grace accedes and annihilates the element of evil. The earth is cleansed, so is the atmosphere, so are the heavens rendered free of terror. The gods dwell in bliss once more and earthly fruition reigns.

13. We are entering the bloodiest phase of the battle on the eve of Mahaashtami. The Mother must muster every power to subdue evil.

14. Resolve now at this auspicious hour that ye shall be a martial race impregnated with the knowledge of the Self as in days of yore.

15. Mother visits us every year to cleanse us of evil. Her war on evil is an unceasing one. This is the refrain of righteous living, this, the symphony of the soul.

16. It is a pitched battle. And in the din of war can be heard only one refrain, 'Mother! Mother!'

17 The demon is in a titanic struggle for survival, changing form each time it faces extinction. The Mother relentlessly pursues.

18. The problem of spirituality is the translation of the idea into living practice and so attain the ideal in the idea realised.

19. If you are pure, you are spiritual. That is all there is to it. The rest follow in due consequence.

20. Bhakter thakbe Ishwarey oikantik prem, bishayey anasakti aar parisheelita parimaarjita mitabyayee jeeban.

21. Shandikshan samupasthit. Ebar asurnidhanpaalaa. 24 min Ashtamir aar 24 min Nabamir, ei dui lagnaardhey aridalan.

22. Bijayer sambhaash oi shona jay muktakeshee rudrachandikaarupinir singhaninaadey. Mahishaasuramardini aaj raney matangini.

23. Oi dheye cholechhen dashabhujaa pralayankaree Chaamundaa, mahabiddhangshee ranatarangini asurdalani Mahamaya.

24. Garib manush noy, bolun daridranarayan, jemonti Swamiji shikhiyechhen.

25. The demon destroyed, the dark night is clearing unto the dawn of hope and joy. Shubha Mahanabami!

26. Strange it is that we celebrate Durga Puja with fun and frolic even when the Mother is engaged in Her titanic tussle with the demon. This seems a misapprehension of the essential element of the Durga Puja, although, it is quite an understandable popular stance on it.

27. As Durga Puja rolls into Mahanavami, a new day of hope and light dawns where pollution in people's minds will have been rooted out. But will it? Let ceremonials translate into living action hereon to roll the Wheel of Dharma. Mother blesses such aspirants who bridge the void between the ideal and the real.

28. This wonderful living tradition of flowing art and sculpture is the exemplar of Indian beauty and truth.

29. The Devi personifies the divine attributes, the demon embodies the deathly cult. The tussle of the twain constitutes life.

30. Cosmic spiritual energy is symbolised as feminine. May this be the inspiration for the rise of womanhood along lines of purity!

31. Now let us set ourselves to serving the masses, Durga's destitute children despoiled of earthly inheritance, suffering the pangs of poverty, ignorance and bondage.

32. The ideal of womanhood in India is the bashful, ever-pure Seeta, mother of us all who manifested yet again as our Mother Sarada.

33. Swamiji used to address Ma Sarada as the living Durga and, rishi that he was, he knew what he said. From now on worship her as such.

34. The very address 'Swamiji' signifies the quintessential monk and that of 'Netaji' the quintessential leader. The duo embody India.

35. Subha Bijaya to each and everyone of you who are my kindred spirits for we are all the children of the same Mother!

36. Mother has merely descended into our hearts for our continuing welfare and we will invoke Her yet again to see us the coming year.

37. As She raises Her consciousness and draws over us a veil while She reigns in Her higher splendour, it is for us to seek Her in a profusion of tearful love and see Her yet again. The Mother cannot resist the yearning of Her child nor can She then restrain Her vision to such.

38. Ma aar kothay gyachhen? Eimatra bairey chhilen, ekhon antarey. Darpan bisarjaney amader darpa bisarjan hok. Ma ekhon sadhansaapeksha.

39. Ebar ekti bachhor atmasamikshar pala. Katota bijay labh holo ta chitter bisuddhatar parimaap diyei bojha jabe agami Durga Pujay.

ISHWARTATTWA

1. Bhagabaner astittver pramaan chaan? Nijer astittvakey sapramaan korte perechhen ki? Atmaanubhuti e ubhayer ekak pramaan.

2. Mon ekmukhi howa kamya. Elomelo itastata moner bikshep chaaritrik durbalataar parichaayak.

3. Ami ami e, aar toh kono parichay nei, thaka sambhabo noy.

4. Thakurer sharir theke ek adbhut abarani shakti prakashita hoto ja upasthit bhaktader chetanaar rupantar ghatato...Mohendranath Dutta

5. Arey, bagaan shajiye ki hobe, maali, nijeke shajao.

7. Bhetorey aagun jwalchhey, tobu bairey khnujey moren keno Bhagabanke? Tini Antaraatma, Shakshi, Hutaashan.

8. Hridayer sabtuku jodi Tnake dite paren, tobei hobe Ishwarlaabh. Kono bishoybuddhi cholbe na. Sampurna sharanaagati chai.

9. Swamijir baani prajwalita hutaashansama. Shei dibyaprabhay chiney nin nijeke. 'Atmaanang ratheenang vidhhi'.

10. Janaben jodi, janun tobey,
      Pracharkarma tobei hobey.
      Noiley brithaa baakyabyay,
      Kaalosrotey kichhu ki robey?

NETAJI BISHOYOK KAWTI KATHAA

1. Ek gabhir sharojantra rachita hoy Netajir putacharitra ke kalimaleepta korar jonyo ebong etey aneker sangsrob chhilo.

15. Kamini kanchaner daas aar Netajir brahmacharyer ki bujhbey? Jnara swiyobrahmacharye abhyasta, tnarai ei mahamanaber pabitratar sakshi.

16. Amay o amar stree putrer prati durbakya proyog korey ki Netajir samparka siddha kora jabey?

WHEN HE RAISED THE STORM

The clarion call from Colombo to Almora wakened slumbering India into revolutionary activity. Decades later the same lion-roar was heard across the continents from the protege, the climactic enactment of this unfinished drama. And even now may be heard such a thunderous tone in the wild winds, in the rapids and the rushes, and in the heartthrob of patriots inspired by the call of freedom, freedom that is the song of the soul.

RAMAKRISHNA TALK ... 1

1. Shashi Maharaj and Tulsi Maharaj laid the foundation of the work begun by Swamiji in South India. All three were brother disciples for they were all the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna.

2. Read Vivekananda. He will enter your bloodstream and make of you a superman.

3. The clarion call from Colombo to Almora wakened slumbering India into revolutionary activity. Decades later the same lion-roar was heard across the continents from the protege, the climactic enactment of this unfinished drama. And even now may be heard such a thunderous tone in the wild winds, in the rapids and the rushes, and in the heartthrob of patriots inspired by the call of freedom, freedom that is the song of the soul.

4. Swamiji in his humility used to hold Raja Maharaj as being spiritually superior to him. Verily, the spiritual son of Thakur is to me an enigma.

5. One should imbibe the democratic spirit from its supreme exemplar, Sri Ramakrishna. How catholic, how liberal, how accommodating he was!

6. Did Swamiji deliver merely a message for the world? No, his words were spirit and fire, as he himself averred, and they penetrated the subliminal consciousness of humanity and transformed man.

7. Latu Maharaj was truly a marvel of Thakur. Utterly unlettered, he yet rose to the heights of spiritual transcendence through the sheer grace of his divine Guru.

8. Meditation clarifies the system of the dross that otherwise creates psychological stress with all its concomitant evils. So, meditate if you wish to be healthy, happy and peaceful. Om!

9. The problem with those that speak on religion today is that they lack the character to lend force to their utterances. Hence, they fail to impress upon the audience the import of all that they articulate.

10. How lucky you would feel if you could ride a spaceship and travel to Mars! How much luckier you right now are when you can ride this human body and fly to freedom! This body is the greatest vehicle that is engineered to enable this flight and, yet, to what despicable use we subject it to in our daily intercourse. The prime purpose of life is the realisation of who we are. This is called God-realisation or Self-realisation and is the ultimate quest of man in his terrestrial dream.

11. The man of renunciation is the proof of God.

12. The generality of mankind must adopt service as their spiritual motto while the ardent must strive for realisation.

13. Long ago Swamiji had invoked strength in our nation by drawing on the eternal powerhouse of the Upanishads. Thakur had awakened him from his state of samadhi and brought him down to earth to save humanity from imminent destruction. Swamiji is an ever-free soul who holds in meditative grip the fate of the universe. The earthly incarnation was but a spark.

Whenever terrestrial conditions degenerate unto the reign of evil, the Lord manifests in human form to set things right. For the destruction of evil, for the preservation of good, for the establishment of righteousness, He manifests in earthly attire.

The world evolves in an undulating cyclical form in alternate phases of progression and retrogression along a spiral path. Following this pattern spirituality and materialism take to alternate rise and fall as in a sine wave. The balance between the two is ever shifting leading to an eventual criticality. It is then that a readjustment is necessary when materialism rules the roost and threatens to destroy the fabric of civilisation. Times are ripe now, the conditions pregnant with possibilities of a divine descent and the Avatar is born. An Age unfolds.

14. When the springtime of youth dawns in the wake of spiritual initiation, it is blossoms all the way.

15. He lives in the poor and the destitute as much as He lives in the rich and the secure. Let us serve all without distinction.

16. The path of the spirit is austere, never the primrose path, but the way beyond this world even unto the sunshine of freedom.

17. Self-promotion leads to death, Self-realisation to immortality.

18. The peerless Paramahamsa was purity personified which lay at the base of his appeal unto all. And thence flowed his supernal love.

19. He held them in love like none had ever known, he strung of them a garland for the Mother.

20. Once more must the Master come to deliver unto man his perennial message in invigorating terms. The collective consciousness must be quickened.

21. His entourage comes with him for the Master must have carriers of his message and transmitters of his power.

22. Swami Vivekananda was the cyclonic monk, so said Hemchandra Ghosh, the redoubtable revolutionary, thrilled by his heroic touch.

23. Vivekananda left the shores of India in search of funds to rebuild her. In effect he rebuilt civilisation across the seas.

24. Brahmananda was a veritable dynamo of spiritual power. Unto him was delivered by the Master the key to granting men freedom.

25. Ketaki Maharaj has remained unparalleled in the annals of the Mission in his service to the Khasis. He was barely 38 when he died.

26. Like as the blue sky beckons us to a higher realm,
      So do our thoughts unify unto the One.

PATRIOT OF PERFECT PURITY

1. Netaji was preeminently a spiritual person, though a hidden yogi, one who kept his spiritual pursuit entirely a personal affair with no shadow of it being allowed to fall on his public life explicitly.

2. He was an ardent follower of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda and remained their great devotee lifelong.

3. Netaji was a student of philosophy and had laid his devotions at the hallowed feet of the spiritual duo only after due consideration of all other spiritual personages of the day and all other systems of spiritual thinking.

4. His was a life of unsullied purity, unbroken chastity in keeping with his early pledge to remain true to the ideals of his spiritual mentors.

5. That he was attributed with carnal associations after his disappearance without credible proof for such labelling is blasphemy of the most heinous kind.

6. 'The dead' do not speak and this was squarely made use of in maligning Netaji and tarnishing his spotless character with the episode of profane relations, unsubstantiated in law and unacceptable by the standards of civil society.

7. For assassins of the character of Netaji to say that detractors of such assassination are defaming him is logic that is at once preposterous as it is perverse.

8. All attempts to reduce Netaji to fallible human terms by force, trickery or deceit has not largely succeeded for the very buoyancy of the hero's innate unsullied purity has put paid to all such effort and rendered sterile such sacrilege. The world at large continues to behold Netaji as the model of patriotic purity with not a tinge of selfishness besmirching his lifelong dedication to purification of the flesh and the spirit.

9. Netaji had never publicly admitted that he had any love-association with any or that he had been secretly 'married' and had progeny thereof. We who believe in his words must go by his words alone, uttered or written while he was with us in the open and corroborated by him as well.

10. Any claim made 'posthumously' (labelling here his disappearance as 'death' for want of a better word for which my apologies I offer) cannot be accepted as valid in the absence of hard legal evidence and, as such, Netaji remains, as he ever was, the fragrant flower, untouched and unsullied, fit to be offered at the feet of his chosen Deity, Ramakrishna-Vivekananda.  

SUSANTA MULLICK

Susanta, you remain the archetypal commentator on contemporary issues quite in the original mould of Swamiji as he was and not as he is projected to be through watering down his uncompromising stance towards contentious problems of his day and of the future to unfold which he beheld clear as daylight in his rishi's vision. What is needed is courage of conviction and the character to express it, act on it and realise it in the thoroughfare of life as also in one's contemplative seclusion.

THE LANGUAGE SOLUTION TO SECTARIANISM IN BANGLADESH

Spot on. Yet, the linguistic affinity must be continually emphasised to combat Islam in all its malefic mode as prevalent in Bangladesh today. Culture must be spread through literature and this will hopefully pay its dividend one day to root out this malicious malignant growth in the body politic of this benighted nation. Else, force will determine the future course of events whichever way it goes and it is a pity that it should be so at a time when we are supposedly civilised. Education will clarify conception progressively as science hammers home its conclusions against the citadels of medieval monstrosity. It will be a protracted struggle from without but one that will eventually be won by implosion consequent upon the revolt of the suffering masses and the womenfolk who have been bearing the yoke of servitude for ages. The Age of Enlightenment into which we have been ushered, thanks to the phenomenal progress of knowledge, will erode resistance to reason and supplant superstition with spirituality, human and divine, although, the path of such progression may be strewn with the broken bones of the past. The conflict is of alternate civilisations, rooted, ingrained, interpenetrated in culture at every level and assumes a far greater significance as such than a cursory attempt at curing the evil will do. In the final analysis it will have to be the resolution of education, law-enforcement and the diffusion of culture that may successfully combat this growing menace and relegate it to an episode of history that will not dare show its fangs to future humanity.

IS EVERYTHING PREDETERMINED?

Not at all. For one may not say that Leela is predetermined for it is the spontaneous play of the Divine. The Divine transcends time, yet, in His play is immanent, in cosmic undulating evolution which defies deterministic laws or quantum laws as such, for evolution proceeds from the spiritual along a downgraded current till it manifests on the physical plane where these laws are operative including the laws of ordinary reason or logic to which the commoner is by conditioning susceptible or the grand propositions of science and philosophy which tend to explain everything from their limited perspectives.

ANTIMA BAANDHAVA DEHI PADAM

The only true friend I have got is my Self, for it is the only being that will remain as the final residuum when all will have left me, when all will dissolve into nothingness before the rays of the awakening sun, when even I will be on the horizon of quitting the citadel I so long held in ignorance as my own and will quietly pass into the vast void of my essence. There friends will have met in a final embrace before merging in the oneness of the Being. Then friendless I abide, alone through eternity.

The dream had been woven with magical charm. Now it has simply vaporised. Whither the world? Whither friends and foes? Whither the dual drama of onrushing life? There none was, there none is, there none will ever be. It is an empty house with none in, and then the house disappears too. Just the Witness is, the Self brooding on the Self with no hope of breaking into multiplicity ever.

And, lo! the fragmentation begins again with all its magical multiplicity. Friends come and foes come too, but through it all waits on the One, my Beloved, my Lord, my Self, my Me.

A QUESTION ASKED ACROSS A CENTURY

The boy Subhas has asked his mother in a letter if there was none in India that truly loved the motherland, one who could live every breath only for her. He was dismayed at the very thought that, perhaps, there was none that met his expectations or ideals and pledged to be the one who would redress the issue.

Today, I ask the same question if there is none that truly loves Netaji and who can live every breath for him without succumbing to the temptation of name, fame, power or position, or the worse pitfall of filthy lucre, one who will never compromise with untruth so very detested by the hero himself and who will live a life of absolute absorption in rendering justice to the violently betrayed cause of the revolutionaries.

I await your answer. Jai Hind!

WHERE LIES DUTY?

Suppose your character is unduly smeared by malicious campaign of your enemies. Will you not try to clear your name of all such calumny? Then why not do the same for Netaji if you are true devotees of him? Is it not bounden on all those who truly love him to see to it that no calumny even caresses the hem of his garment, much less strike his spotless purity with the darkest deceit that has come to cohabit with his continent being? Are we to accept this diabolical design of falsity foisted on this supernal being as so much axiomatic truth, although, there is no evidence to support the facile claims about his fall from his continent grace? Are we men worth the salt when we succumb to temptation, to fear and to a hundred perversions of the soul to maintain self-interest at the cost of India's finest flower which but bloomed to see us free from all such perfidy?

Reflect, my dear friends, fellow pilgrims of the soul, professed devotees of Netaji, if we have not terribly let down the hero who never let us down. If you feel that my words carry substance, then join hands with me to start a crusade for the truth to reveal and for calumny to be cleared off the name of our supreme leader once and for all. Netaji, I say, will bless you in this endeavour and the motherland will ever remember you with gratitude. Vande Mataram! Jai Hind!

LEON PROUCHANDY, A FORGOTTEN HERO

Leon Prouchandy, a forgotten name? How many of you have heard of him and his sacrifices for our freedom? He paid the ultimate price for patriotism. Savagely tortured by French intelligence, Leon was rendered unto a vegetative existence. His crime? Supporting Netaji.

On 17 Aug, 1945, Netaji spent the night at Leon Prouchandy's house at Saigon, stayed the next day there, then vanished into thin air.

If Netaji was at the Prouchandy house at Saigon on 18 Aug, 1945, how could he die in the alleged air-crash at Taihoku on the same day, especially, when Taihoku is hundreds of miles away from Saigon and flight speed was pretty slow in those days?

Prouchandy was carried off in a vegetative state from his Saigon prison cell to Pondicherry where he lived and died decades later.

The Saigon house of Prouchandy is in dire need of repair. It was the General Secretariat of the IIL in Saigon. The GOI must take cognisance of this state of affairs and in conjunction with the Vietnamese authorities take up the work of restoration of this heritage building of India's independence struggle.

Leon Prouchandy was one of the principal financiers of Netaji in his bid for armed liberation of India. Prouchandy contributed to the tune of millions to Netaji's War Fund in the form of gold, jewellery and cash.

In Sep, 1945, Leon was arrested by the French, incarcerated and tortured inhumanly for three months to extract information about Netaji and his Treasure Chest. Three months later he was released, a man destroyed of his senses, speechless, having no memory of his past, a vegetative being barely alive. He was taken to Pondicherry where he lived out the remaining 23 years of his biological life in this debilitated state, a man reduced to a shadow of a human being with no recollection nor human response to the environment. He lived a forgotten man and died a forgotten death.

Leon Prouchandy fought for our liberation, financed our revolutionary war effort against the British and we do not even know who he was. Are we a nation yet? Are we men?

Netaji went from Leon Prouchandy's house to an unknown destination on 18 Aug, 1945. Where? With whom? Did Leon know about his possible destination? Had Netaji confided in him? After all, the last meeting of Netaji with his own personnel and with those of Field Marshall Terauchi was in the Prouchandy house where the General Secretariat of the IIL, Saigon was quartered. Was Leon thus tortured into silence after being tortured into giving up the vital information about Netaji and his Treasure Chest. Was he silenced to eliminate witness and obliterate evidence about Netaji's surviving the War? Who can tell? Leon Prouchandy never spoke again nor could he recall anything of the past. His memory had been wiped out by systematic torture carried out to medical precision.  

LONG LIVE REVOLUTION!

1. The revolutionaries right from the Ghadar days plotted the downfall of the British Raj by armed insurrection. The INA assault was the climactic blow that dealt them the deathblow.

2. Gandhi's superior attitude towards Subhas in chiding while playing inferior politics in relation to him is reprehensible.

3. The real face of British brutality unleashed on colonised peoples is so evident in their invention of body-line bowling to curtail the rising star of Bradman. The whole business of leg theory culminating in body-line to curtail Bradman was proof of British oppression of freedom.

4. The Neelgunge massacre of over 1500 INA soldiers by the British on 25 Sep, 1945 must be documented in history books. The current chronicling is the blasphemous lie of only 5 soldiers. If history has to be rewritten as so many activists are so vocal about, let it begin with the true account of this grizzly episode which remains under wraps for over seven decades for what sinister purpose one may only guess.

5. Habib-ur-Rahman had lied about Netaji's air-crash death. This is amply corroborated by his later private admission of it to a select few.

6. This pernicious propensity towards prosperity is an unmitigated evil, a trait that is violent to the core. Millions must be made to live in servile conditions of poverty and destitution for a handful to live in princely style. Greed is the fundamental fuel propelling capitalism despite all the tall talk of creativity, development and progress uttered by the profane lips of the crafty capitalists. These in conjunction with corrupt politicians suck the life-blood of the masses reducing them to abysmal conditions of living. Life becomes a veritable hell as the masses barely survive but to die each moment a desperate death. Historical circumstances are readied by the flow of events and the leader comes along in the fullness of time. A new wave, a new philosophy, new awakening and a new energy begin to animate the people despoiled of all dignity by human exploitation for ages. Conditions are gruelling as revolution is rife. The State machinery, the organ of class-rule is wielded to crush rebellion even as the spirit intensifies. The hidden forces gather momentum as they garner people's support to surge ahead with their programme of total transformation of the human condition. It is a revolution that you sniff in the air. The masses must be mobilised that the entrenched superstructure of exploitation be razed to the ground. Historical movement is complex and tortuous. It is a mountainous detour stretching to scale the summit. The forces of oppression mount, so does the martyr's count. It is a battle between the past and the future enacted in the moment. It is the death-deal of the hour. On one side is the preservation of the age-old exploitative system, the slow grinding machinery that is the hangman of the masses; on the other side is the call to revolutionary restructuring of society and its relations. Betwixt the twain lies humanity.

7. Tortuous is the path to freedom, treacherous at every bend. Netaji had to scale the summit through the web spun to entrap him.

8. The path of revolution is uncharted, treacherous. There is danger at every step and there is betrayal by enemies and by even one's own.

9. Freedom has come but, oh, at what a cost! There is conspiracy even against our patriot premier, calumny cast on his unsullied purity.

10. Who is this solitary man pointing to the heavens? Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, he beckons ye even now. Must ye fail him?

11. Netaji's lifelong purity was in keeping with his pledge to follow the ideals of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. And to cast aspersions on his unblemished character!

12. The purple robe fits well the martyr whose royal blood flows free to overthrow the shackles of slavery.

13. Blood-red was the revolution,
      Yet, they painted it in green.
      Blood spilled was green?
      Pray, when have you last seen?

14. I can clearly see from today's traitors how betrayed Mother India was at every turn of her revolutionary revival.

15. Ask the Britisher in private who they feared the most and you will get the answer as to who liberated us.

16. The trouble we faced in our struggle for freedom was the labour of 'love' of traitors galore and even today they thrive so well!

17. A deliberate misrepresentation of the narrative of the freedom struggle by the Gandhi brigade has done untold harm to the nation.

18. Shall we forget Rashbehari Bose, Sachindranath Sanyal, Jatindranath Mukherjee and Surya Sen?

19. Death seemed the grand release
      When freedom was at hand.
      What could the barbarous colonist do
      When the valorous took their stand?

20. P.N.Tagore escaped the clutches of the British never to return to his cherished motherland. Who was he? Why did he escape? Where did he escape to? And how did he escape?

21. The Englishman was free but his freedom he used to snatch the freedom of others, colonise them, hold them by force in bondage. Freedom the Englishman cherished indeed to despoil the lives of so many others and keep them in their own lands in servile captivity!

It took a long line of revolutionaries for nearly a century to shake off the British yoke, their cumulative effort writ in letters of blood culminating in the eventual assault of the Indian National Army against the colonial masters which helped evict them from the motherland. The failed attempt of the INA, nonetheless, bore fruition in the subsequent revolts of the British Indian Armed Forces who took the cue from the INA and led the country to a state where further administration by the British by use of force against the Indians became an untenable proposition and the colonists left in a hurry but not before they had dealt the death-blow to the liberated landmass by partitioning it among warring peoples.

The British achieved a long-term political advantage in partitioning India into two inimical nations who would forever continue to fight, debilitating each other and creating the perfect field for the Anglo-American consortium to pursue their new mode of economic exploitation what has been termed neocolonialism.

22. The ill-will of the people bred through exploitation by the privileged classes erupts as revolution in the fullness of time.

23. Revolution prepares the ground, creates conditions for rapid evolution of mankind but needs men of character to steer its course.

24. It is time to pledge loyalty to our martyrs who have sacrificed themselves on the scaffold and on the battlefields to win for us freedom.

25. Unless drastic measures are adopted to check rampant capitalistic exploitation of the masses, poverty will so increase among hundreds of millions that a violent revolution will take place seeking to redress the balance. Lest such a bloody day undoes the good that heritage has handed us, rapid advances in management of resources and their equitable distribution is an urgent necessity. We have achieved freedom from the colonist-imperialist alien occupiers not by the blood spilled off the arteries of crony capitalist but by the sacrifices of the martyrs whose ruddy drops have been the price we have paid for our liberation. And this we must never forget that we owe it to them to rebuild our motherland along the line of their vision of equality and opportunity for all, not merely in terms of enunciated principles in the Constitution but in actual terms of deeds done, hindrances to mass evolution removed and uplift of the people to a level of dignity where life becomes an exercise in bliss and not a struggle for daily survival. Our tradition is eminently spiritual in texture and demands of us service to the motherland. But emotional effusions will scarce achieve the objective and an objective analysis must be made, methods devised and programmes implemented with martial energy, dexterity and discipline. The masses must be raised from the vortex of poverty and life made bearable, nay, enjoyable to a degree to avert the cataclysm of revolution. This is the future fate of our motherland if the capitalists are allowed a free rein as they presently are to amass wealth indiscriminately at the expense of the hundreds of millions who pay the price of such affluence with their blood. It is time to take cognisance of this historical development and time to ward off the threat even when critical conditions have not yet come into being. Else, a violent bloodbath will see the demise of many a cherished value, many an institution we hold dear to our hearts that carry the imprint of the past of our civilisation and have not fulfilled their fullest potential yet. History, for sure, has recorded all that has thus far gone in the name of life and liberty for our masses and, the cruel dispenser of justice that it is, it will decree death sentence on the perfidious elements who so subverted our spiritual culture that despite the loftiest principles enshrined in our books, the masses lived the state of brutes. And now with the onset of the modern age and the mercenary's machination through his machine, we enter into times worse than ever when blood flows inward to haemorrhage the vessels that conduct the life-current of the nation. Herein lies the danger, for the organic collapse of the system is imminent and its violent reaction a corollary in consequence. Brothers, reform yourselves lest retribution sweeps all.

26. When the masses rise in rebellion, no force on earth can hold sway over them. When times are propitious, the philosophy is born and with it awakens consciousness as the leader guides the populace to a total roundabout of circumstances, a complete transformation of the conditions of life. At the appointed hour the bell of revolution tolls and the movement takes off. Sweeping everything that stands in their path, the mob arrives at the citadel of bondage and breaks open the confines to release men into freedom, a freedom denied for ages, a life thwarted by shackles and a death that flows as cheap as the spilled wine of the barrel.

But history happens not as per the whims of individuals but as per the resolution of countless forces, the collective resolution of karma of an entire populace, a suppressed people suffocating in the dark dungeons of a hell on earth. And when it happens, oh, what a retribution it visits upon the tyrannical class, the exploitative masters who had thus reduced the image of God to the level of the beast while living off their labour in luxury for ages!

AH, HOW THEY HURT THE HERO!

Netaji practised lifelong the golden principles of renunciation and service as enunciated by Swamiji and lived a life of perfect purity in line with his early leanings towards sannyas.

Not rumours, but calculated malicious campaign to smear the hero and reduce his epic personality to fallible human levels where parleys are possible on even terms to further denigrate his life and attainments and for other sinister ends.

KADAM KADAM BADHAYE JA

Advance, advance, O my soul!
Singing the song, blissful, whole,
This life is for the nation dear,
Unto it give up for the freedom goal.
O Lion of Hind! advance, advance,
Fear not thee death, so be thy stance,
Blow off the foe's vaunted head,
Freedom's fervour enhance, enhance.
May valour thine be on the rise!
May God heed thy earnest call!
He who in combat confronts thee,
May he be ground to dust in fall!
'Chalo Dilli!' the clarion call,
The flag of freedom guarding close,
Hoisting on the Red Fort,
Let flutter free, let flutter free.

THOUGHTS THAT MATTER ... 1

1. The masses must be fed, clothed, educated and provided health-care and raised to the level of enlightened humanity, the brahman.

2. A classless society means the creation of an enlightened common humanity where differences cease to be divisive. But such a one has to be the product of spiritual evolution and not mere political revolution.

3. A brahman is a brahman so long as he is devoid of privilege.

4. As the night gives way to the dawn that ushers in the Devi-paksha, let us pledge to fulfil the divine in ourselves and in all.

5. Trust none save the Lord, the Avatar Purush seated in the midst of your heart, ever beating time till you will wake up from your slumber and remember Him, then rush on to His loving arms.

6. What grandeur! What artistic sensibility the poet has brought even unto architecture which, verily, Goethe has called 'frozen music'! (w.r.t. Uttarayan, Shantiniketan)

7. The higher law must work. No amount of cacophony can drown the voice of reason. Further on enlightenment is.

8. The less of me I project, the more of Me I manifest.

9. The only true friend I have got is my Self, for it is the only being that will remain as the final residuum when all will have left me, when all will dissolve into nothingness before the rays of the awakening sun, when even I will be on the horizon of quitting the citadel I so long held in ignorance as my own and will quietly pass into the vast void of my essence. There friends will have met in a final embrace before merging in the oneness of the Being. Then friendless I abide, alone through eternity.

The dream had been woven with magical charm. Now it has simply vaporised. Whither the world? Whither friends and foes? Whither the dual drama of onrushing life? There none was, there none is, there none will ever be. It is an empty house with none in, and then the house disappears too. Just the Witness is, the Self brooding on the Self with no hope of breaking into multiplicity ever.

And, lo! the fragmentation begins again with all its magical multiplicity. Friends come and foes come too, but through it all waits on the One, my Beloved, my Lord, my Self, my Me.

10. Courage of conviction is what can be expected of those that vouch for a cause. Cowards keep off!

11. Silence may be the calling of the illumined but it certainly betrays cowardice in the laity to keep mum over contentious issues.

12. The liberating influence of Bengali literature will deliver Bangladesh, that was founded on the linguistic principle, from sectarianism.

13. The linguistic bond is paramount in Bangladesh. Let none attempt to undermine it in the name of religion.

14. Bangladesh was severed from Bengal. Again the halves must unite, if not politically, culturally for sure.

15. Urdu can scarce dilute the dominance of Bangla, for Bangladesh was founded in rebellion against the imposition of Urdu.

16. Wasteful continuous comments deflect attention from the main issue. The object is to highlight a contentious social point.

17. The written word scarce expresses the unwritten text of Nature. Silence gives its golden testimony in mantra free and fair.

18. Daily tyranny of the spoken word deals death-blow to one's aspirations. It is diabolic to destroy human hope thus.

19. Freedom in the hands of the uninitiated lends itself to tyranny of the savage over the civilised. Thus, must culture temper license masquerading as freedom.

20. In an age of declining culture it is imperative that we strive to preserve at least whatever is best in our heritage.

21. Humanity will rise not merely by the proliferation of education but by the diffusion of culture.

22. Netaji was the leader with the widest experience of international politics and the only one with first-hand experience of the greatest conflict in human history, the Second World War. What a leader he would have made for independent India with such a unique training in the school of life! Alas, we were denied by traitors within that great fortune!

23. Arranging and categorising facts can lead to knowledge of a secondary kind but realisation immediate and unconditioned requires subtle intelligence.

24. Beyond the realm of intellectual cognition lies the infinitude of existence absolute, unfettered by space-time-causality.

25. The path is strewn with vibrant hues
       n radiance streaming in.
       If these be so suffused with life,
       how lovelier the Spirit is!

26. We are fighting an internal battle and see it through extroverted vision in the outer world. Hence, all the conflict in the world.

27. Spirituality is living the inner life. It is the quest for Truth by analysis of mind till it reduces to nought and reveals the Self.

28. Youth is the springtime of both enjoyment and renunciation. He who goes for the former comes to grief but he who casts in his lot for the latter attains to immortality. Enjoy through renunciation.

29. The panoramic spectacle lies ahead but vaster still is the world within. Within this citadel of the body is encased the soul.

30. The Hindu sphere of influence in the world has been ever shrinking down the historical timeline. Time to reverse the trend.

31. The colours disperse to reunite when the optical conditions reverse. So must the stellar beams reunite unto the whiteness of peace.

32. In the transition moment from sleep to wakefulness is an inlet into the divine within. This also is 'sandhikshan'.

33. Subtle are the waves that visit, subtler still their reading is, subtlest the life that lies beyond, ever-free, ever-free.

34. In insulting another you insult yourself for you are in every form that animates existence.

35. I wonder how an atheist may have fullest appreciation of the gamut of Netaji's thinking, especially, if he is a materialist too.

36. Avataarvaad? Guruvaad? Why, these are integral to post-Puranic Hinduism and essential to spiritual practice in many a mode as well.

37. It is better to have experience of the Divine before attempting to criticise our religious practices. Ignorance plays havoc with judgement, confounds reason and leads the critic astray.

38. The path of purity is the path of God. Let privilege cease to be a part of it. Let the doors of knowledge be open to all. Om!

39. This mountainous detour leads to its final destination, the summit of realisations, that of oneness that extinguishes relativity.

40. Dawn breaks out in the eastern horizon and my mind flies to freedom in its early beams. Would it were this dawn had forever stayed!

REMARK OFF THE CUFF ... 6

1. Aye, public servant, that's the term. Do not make such your political master. The citizen is no less than the CM, the public no less than the PM. Where might of the masses is concerned and its brute power exhibited in rallies and in the streets, it has more to do with old imperialism than with modern enlightened democracy. The same dictum rules till date : Might is right, and what a pity at that!

2. I am not merely devoted to the God of India but I am devoted to the God that is India, for I am a son of the soil.

3. Let the Impersonal be preached and not so much the Personal, for the former liberates, the latter misread, binds.

4. Tranquil is the mind that sees the Truth, yet, the mind must dissolve into nothingness for Truth to reveal.

5. The body blocks vision, that granite fortress refuses to yield before the insufficient aspiration of the soul. The Guru alone may lead now through this labyrinth of Maya, through this maze of a myriad dreams where life slips away and death looms large even as eventide sets in.

6. Fame, dirty fame, fraught with self-debasement! Desire despicable of establishment in other's eye! Seek substance in the Self.

7. Show me one politician with credentials of character to uphold the interests of the people. All are compromised to selfish gain. And, why so? For the nation as a whole is recovering from a thousand year state of servitude which has debilitated its character and rendered sterile all the fountains of love, of fellow-feeling and mutual goodwill. It is now a case pure and simple of self-preservation at the expense of one's neighbour

8. The foundation of work for the nation must be spiritual, for the spirit of service and sacrifice must be its hallmark.

9. The ideal of love is all-inclusive. The least sign of exclusion in love is a sure sign of the degeneration of the heart.

10. One must not give in to 'spiritual teachers' who dilute the ideal of renunciation and seek a compromise with the world.

FOR THEY WHO CLAMOUR AND CLAIM SO MUCH

Unless one is totally devoid of self-interest and stands clear in the sunshine of life with a heart full of love and a head free of hate, unless one is established firm in truth and the character born of purity with no selfish motivations impelling, one cannot truly belong to Netaji, for the warrior-sage was the very antithesis of it.

WHEN THE TIMES CALL FOR A CHANGE

Does selfish living have much in common with the lives the revolutionaries lived? Who are the custodians today of our revolutionary past? The affluent activists who hit the streets or the silent sufferers, the multitude whose misery is their daily revolution of survival, whose patience is piety in practice and whose ire could yet spark off a convulsion that will set the continent alight?
