A MESSAGE TO OUR MURALI MAHARAJ (Swami Sampurnananda)

A MESSAGE TO OUR MURALI MAHARAJ (Swami Sampurnananda)

Medical check up must be urgently done and monitoring thereafter must continue. Our prayers are there but psychological rest is needed, too, for you, the relief from physical stress resulting from incessant intellectual activity.

You are a monastic member of the Ramakrishna Order, a monk of unique embellishments, endowed with a singular perspective on things and a matching style of writing to give expression to such. Your liberalism in thought and ability to view an idea or an event from a wide range of angles, often against the grain of common acceptance, makes you quite a rare phenomenon among traditionalists and quite in keeping with the new age unfolding where more like you will surface among the general mass of monastics. As of now, you are a rare composition of Thakur and one which we value much.

Your blog writing about the departed monks of the Order is phenomenal and must see the light of day in print soon. It is regrettable that so many offer lip service to seminal persons like you but care not to do more by way of actual support for the literary and the spiritual causes that you espouse. If you are gone, another like you will not easily surface on the horizon for sure. Hence, you must take adequate care of yourself and follow strictly medical advice given, for you are an adornment to the nation whether fools galore understand it or not. For our part as devotees, we stand rock-solid behind you in holding you and upholding your cause of helping affiliate centres to the Headquarters.

Thakur is ever there with those who adhere to truth and are sincere seekers of his grace for his vision and will surely keep you in good health if you yourself, perchance, do not aggravate it.

With prayers and heartfelt sadness on hearing about your medical stress,
I remain ever devoted to you and your divine Master,
Sugata Bose.
