HISTORICAL HERESY PERSISTS

HISTORICAL HERESY PERSISTS

Just a while back on Doordarshan, Kushal Chowdhury, Trustee and Secretary of the Dakshineshwar Kali Complex, announced that the statues of the 16 monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna will be built soon along with those of Mathur Babu, Master Mahashay and a few others who were part of the divine play of Thakur. The statues will be installed in the space outside Sri Ramakrishna's room that is adjoining the Ganga. Again it is strange that the count of monastic disciples has been reckoned as 16 instead of 17. In all probability, going by what the number 16 means in this context as opposed to 17, Swami Nirmalananda (Tulsi Maharaj) will be omitted from the list once more. If it so happens, history will be wronged and the Avatar of Truth will be mightily wronged as well. Today, when the monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna were mentioned and their photographs beamed on Doordarshan, Swami Nirmalananda remained the only one left out as his 16 other brother disciples were prominently shown. What a travesty of truth this is and no one protests at this falsity foisted on the public as Gospel truth!

It is inconceivable that Sri Ramakrishna is supporting this historical heresy for he is Truth personified. Therefore, those that keep positing the theory that it is all Thakur's wish must be bringing Thakur to the level of their own peculiar notions of truth which is evidently the field of Avidya Maya or the infatuating realm of the Divine. We do not view the Avatar of Dakshineshwar that way. He was in his earthly incarnation full of the sattva material and was impregnated through and through with truth. So, the argument this way falls flat and the injustice by design being meted out to Tulsi Maharaj (Swami Nirmalananda) must now bring forth a fresh incarnation of Thakur as he had promised to Holy Mother and his disciples. Dharmaglaani (the decay in righteousness and virtue) has begun and this needs to be righted. Who else can do so but God Himself and it is time that He shall do so. We await Thakur's advent and emergence to redress the wrongs that obtain in the field of human interplay among which we register our right to see the reinstatement of Tulsi Maharaj as his beloved apostle as he duly was and remains in truth ever so.

Satyameva Jayatey! Jai Sri Ramakrishna! Jai Kali!
