IN RESPONSE TO THE GENEROUS HELP OFFERED BY A FEW, VERY FEW, INDEED, MAGNANIMOUS DEVOTEES FOR THE AFORESAID DEVOTEE IN HER HOSPITAL DISTRESS
I thank you all for your concern. We are trying to raise the required sum, ever increasing by the hour, but are, as yet, restraining ourselves from going in for receiving public contribution, for the problems in raising the sum in such a manner are many and complex from the sociological standpoint.
Therefore, the earlier appeal has been presented before the public by way of preparation of the minds of devotees, on this holy day of seeking, in the art of an equal holy giving, and all of your responses to that appeal, sincere and heartfelt, are treasures to store in the recesses of our minds whence fresh charity towards all will arise in the future.
If things, indeed, compel us to accept your help, the necessary bank details may be afforded for fulfilment of the cause we so represent and for the fruition of your generous gesture in the holy act of a real giving.
My thankfulness to all of you, yet again, and commendations on your robust stance in offered charity which is the essence of the householder's dharma and a vanishing trait among Indians in modern times, a fact lamented by none other than the great Swami Vivekananda who himself, along with his brother disciples and the Holy Mother, in her pitiful penury, had suffered the worst ravages of such social neglect in their hour of desperate struggle for their daily bread despite living in their exalted spiritual altitude on empty belly, a phenomenon that even proved the Master's pronounced principle that 'religion is not for empty bellies' to be inapplicable in their case of isolated exception.
May Thakur-Ma-Swamiji specially bless you all who have come forward today by way of fulfilment of their divine mission in thus offering help at a moment of supreme financial crisis for a lad of years 22, a mother of 53 struggling for dear life, a venerable aged monk of the Ramakrishna Order himself offering so much by his singular efforts, the hospital authorities doing what they can within constitutional strictures and myself struggling to raise the sum after emptying my purse as well !
Jai Ma ! Shubha Kalpataru Divas !
