Sugata Bose @Tapan Kanti Mandal : যথার্থ বলেছেন, '' দিদি এক show ! "

Sugata Bose @Sayani Dasgupta : কিছু নয় তো । বঙ্গীয় ভাষা পরিষদের পঞ্চবার্ষিক অধিবেশন আর কি !

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : That is impertinent of you to suggest. Rather West Bengal's progressive Islamisation must be resisted by staying on here to keep the flag of age-old Hindu civilisation fluttering. The disease of Islamic appeasement needs treatment rather than allowance to grow further for a second Partition of Bengal to take place in the coming decades. Never forget the dark days of 1946 which will see a repetition if this disease is not treated rightaway. Bengal cannot be allowed to precipitate into such a dastardly dismemberment again. Either we awake now or dark days are ahead !

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : It is not the Hindu philosophy that is under threat but the political implications of Islamisation as in pre-Partition Bengal and in Kashmir that Hindus must be wary of. Hindu influence has gone down geographically in the Indian subcontinent and in Asia owing to the rise of intolerant Islam till it has been relegated to only dismembered India and Nepal. If Bengal is allowed to go the Bangladesh way, it will be the death of Bengal's age-old Hindu culture and an early erosion of the body politic of Hinduism itself as the classical culture of hoary India. The history of the world testifies to the demise of grand ancient civilisations at the hands of barbaric new ones. Hindus cannot afford to be complacent in this regard. As it has been rightly said, 'Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.'

Sugata Bose @Rathin Krishna Dey তাঁরা ওঁর কৃপাধন্য, বেকার !

Sugata Bose @Amrita Bhattacharyya : This is my post which you had evidently wished to share, as I found it in the comment stream to the post. But in effect you copy-pasted it, or, so it seems at least. Please attribute authorship of this post to me. My profile is public and the 'share option' is open to all. Hence, the post ought to have been shared rather than copy-pasted. Please do the needful.

Sugata Bose @Kalikrishna Guha : অপরিষ্কার রইল । বুঝিয়ে বলুন । হরিদাস ঠাকুর মস্ত বড় ভক্ত । তাঁর নাম শোনানোর জন্য ধন্যবাদ । তবে, জড়বাদিরা এই মহাবৈষ্ণবের ভাব কতটা বুঝবেন, এ বিষয়ে সন্দেহের অবকাশ আছে । তাঁরা তো ঠিক ভারতবর্ষের সনাতন আধ্যাত্মিক ঐতিহ্য বোঝেন না, তাই বলা আর কি ।

Sugata Bose @Riya Bhattacharya : Imagine the temerity of the lady, Riya Bhattacharya. When countered, she first attacked me and then when reminded about some basic moral codes which was expected of her by way of recompense for her copy-pasting my post without attributing authorship to me, she could only foolishly write 'hahahaha'.

Sugata Bose @Aloke Mukherjee @ : The work has begun and it will gain added strength with every passing decade till in another forty years time Swamiji's prophecy about a resurgent India will be fulfilled. But you are right. The present situation does not inspire much hope and such hopeful future forecast seems apparently rather unlikely. But generations change and with it come radical transformations. So, we may remain undulating between hope and despair till we see significant actual changes happening.

Sugata Bose @Rathin Krishna Dey : You are mistaken. I am not that Sugata Bose. I cannot even dream to receive Her Majesty's grace thus as you seem to have suggested through erroneous identification.

Sugata Bose @Sameer Banik : The Chief Minister has tested positive for negativity thus far and triumphantly so while kicking with lone foot in her backyard and clearing opposition over the fence.

Sugata Bose @Sajal Dutta : I am not a member of Netaji Bose's extended family neither do I subscribe to these conspiracy theories regarding Netaji's disappearance.

Sugata Bose @Sajal Dutta : Not at all interested in all this gibberish. And why do you unnecessarily bother me each time? Do you not have better work to do than idle away behind me trying to elicit my opinion on issues insignificant as these? Go to such people who are better disposed to all this and hold conference with them. Do not waste my time thus.

Sugata Bose @Bharat Ek Khnoj : Shyam Benegal has directed well the narrative part but has messed up on the musical front. The music in parts is modern and does not belong to the period of Shivaji.

Sugata Bose @Surajit Ghosh : তিন এ ক্ষান্ত হয়েছিলাম । ঐ একে তিন, তিনে এক বুদ্ধি থেকে আর কি ! নইলে যে অনেকের ভীড়ে মন্তব্যে মন্দা পড়ে যেত ।

Sugata Bose @Bharat Ek Khnoj : Terrible set, terrible costume, terrible music, typical of Benegal ! At a time when the khayal had not even been born Main Tansen is being made to sing a drut khayal in Bageshree. What a travesty of historicity ! Tansen was long dead before Akbar himself died. This is another historical inaccuracy portrayed here. (Akbar episode)

Sugata Bose @Bharat Ek Khnoj : Melodramatic performance by actress in the guise of an ascetic woman, quite unbecoming of a director of repute to have allowed it in a historically important episode. Benegal disappoints as ever. (Padmavat episode)

Sugata Bose @Bharat Ek Khnoj : What a disgusting director Shyam Benegal is ! Utterly unhistorical presentation ! (Asoka episode)

Sugata Bose @Sujit Ray : But Sri Ramakrishna himself had affirmed to young Narendranath (later, Swami Vivekananda) that he who was Ram, he who was Krishna, has now incarnated as Ramakrishna but not in your Vedantic sense." What about that?

Sugata Bose @Sukanto : Shameful comment, utterly spineless.

Sugata Bose @Sukanto : You have shamed that innocent citizen who was slapped. Hence, my objection to your insensitive comment. If you have the guts to speak up for him and against these shameless rogues masquerading as politicians, it will be better for you to openly wage your assault and not in such a clandestine verbal manner which may be interpreted either way, leaving you room enough to make good your escape should the need arise.

Sugata Bose @Bharat Ek Khnoj : Lord Clive is making a mess of his pronunciation of his mother tongue. Yet another proof of the utter mediocrity and lack of perfection of Shyam Benegal when making his choice of actors to represent these historical characters.

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : আমি আর অধিক কি বললাম ? যা বলছেন তো উনিই সব । বাকি যা, তা তো প্রতিক্রিয়ামাত্র, তাও সুসভ্যভাষায় যা ওঁর শব্দভাণ্ডারবহির্ভূত ।

Sugata Bose @Subir Kr Paul : শুঁকতে থাকুন । নাসিকা ও ফুসফুসের ব্যায়াম হবে বিনামূল্যে ।

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : হিন্দু ধর্মকে সম্মান করুন, তাহলেই হবে দেশের, দশের কল্যাণ । আমাকে সম্মান করার প্রয়োজন নেই । আর সকলের হয়ে কথা বলার নব অধিকারটি অর্জন করেছেন জেনে সাধুবাদ জানাই ইংরেজিতে যাকে বলে 'Congratulations !'

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : মানে সবই ভাই ভাই । বেশ তো, কোনো অসুবিধা নাই ।

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : এটা কোন প্রজাতি ? আপনার সৃষ্ট ? তাহলে তো এই জাতির আদি জনক আপনি হয়ে গেলেন, অর্থাৎ, পিতামহ প্রজাপতি ।

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : বটে, বটে । এ সংবাদটি তো 'ব্রেকিং নিউজ' আমার কাছে । কোন চ্যানেলে শুনলেন ?

Sugata Bose @Mithushree G Mukherjee : দারুণ ! বুদ্ধি থাকলে বুঝবে । কিন্তু আছে কি ? গরু চড়াতে চড়াতে রোদে-গরমে সব উবে গিয়ে না থাকে ।

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : বলে ফেলুন সর্বসমক্ষে উহ্য না রেখে । দেখি দূর্ভাষণের দৌড় কতদূর ?

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : তাতে কি প্রমাণ হল ? পোস্টটা কি নিয়ে ?

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : এই এতক্ষণে একটা বেঠিক কথা বলেছেন । বাকি তো সবই গোচারণধ্বনি !

Sugata Bose @Rejajur Rahman Molla : আহা, কী মানবপ্রেম ! কোন আচার্যের কাছে শিখলেন ভাই ?

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : অপেক্ষায় রইলাম । আপনার ভাষা কোথা হতে উৎসারিত তাও তো জানা চাই । Linguistic lineage, I mean.

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : আমিও চাই । আসুন, কথামৃত পাঠ করি প্রত্যহ ।

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : বোমা নাকি যে ফুটব ?

Sugata Bose @Rejajur Rahman Molla : ছিঃ ! নিজের দলের সম্বন্ধে এরকম বলতে হয় ? ফুলকে সম্মান করুন । নইলে যে দল থেকে তাড়িয়ে দেবে ।

Sugata Bose @Rangoli Chatterjee : যে যেমন বোঝে, সে তেমন অর্থই খোঁজে । 'Men may construe things after their fashion Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.' -- Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare)

Sugata Bose @Nadim Hossain Mallick : হিন্দুধর্ম একমাত্র ধর্ম যা সর্বধর্মকে সমান সম্মান দেয় । আপনার নিজধর্ম হিন্দুধর্মেকে সত্য বলে গণ্য করে কি ? কি বিচার হিন্দু বিধর্মীর প্রতি আপনার ধর্মগ্রন্থের ?

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : এখনও ফুটিনি । ফুটলে তেজস্ক্রিয়া সহ্য করতে পারবেন না ।তাই অনুকম্পাপরবশ হয়ে সংযত আছি ।

Sugata Bose @Pranojit Dey : ছন্দের কি যোগ ! মানবতা বিয়োগ । এও একটি রোগ, তাই প্রতিরোধ প্রয়োগ ।

Sugata Bose @Nadim Hossain Mallick : মানুষকে পশু ভাবে যারা, ছাড় পেয়েছে তারা আজ আমাদের এই নৈরাজ্যে । আদর্শবিহীন জন, কিবা বুঝে আত্মধন, অসংস্কৃত ভাবে পূর্ণ আজ যে ।

Sugata Bose @এবার গালিগালাজ বন্ধ করুন । যা বলার মার্জিত ভাষায় বলুন । রুচিবিগর্হিত হয়ে দেশের সেবা হয়না ।

Sugata Bose @Subir Kr Paul : নেতাজীকে জিজ্ঞাসা করার সৌভাগ্য হয়নি আমার । আপনার হয়তো পরিচয় ছিল । কি বললেন উনি ?

Sugata Bose @Subir Kr Paul : কোন পূর্বপুরুষের কথা ঠিক বলছেন ? আর মশাই, এত মাতব্বরি চালে কথা বলেনই বা কেন ? Do you think I am answerable to you for whatever I do ?

Sugata Bose @Mrinmaya Bandyapadhya : রসবোধ আবশ্যক আমার লেখার মর্মার্থ অনুধাবনের জন্য, যাকে বলে ভাবগ্রাহী সূক্ষ্মবুদ্ধি ।

Sugata Bose @Mrinmaya Bandyapadhya : তৃণমূলের মতে অন্তর্গত, বহিরাগত নয় । Naturalised Bengali. ঘাসের কথা কে বা ফেলে আর ফেলি বা কোথায় ? চারিদিকে ঘাস ।

Sugata Bose @Sharmistha Chatterjee : The lack of response to posts such as these is a pointer to the lack of character in the polity and is portentous of the terrible fate that awaits our country should there not be a radical change in human affairs here.

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : দুর্বল, ইন্দ্রিয়াসক্ত মানুষের ক্ষেপায় কি আসে যায় ? যা সত্য বলে বোধ করি, তা দ্যর্থহীন ভাষায় বলি ।

Sugata Bose @Prasenjit Bhattacharya : All religions are expressions of the Sanatan Dharma in lesser or in greater degree of affiliation to the absolute truth through all their circumstantial cultural and evolutionary aberrations. This aspect is not recognised by the Semitic religions and, hence, the subcontinent must be cleansed of all such impositions on the mind of man in his search for perfection. This is the grand agenda in the recovery of the Sanatan Dharma in Bharatvarsha which since Shankaracharya has been slowly gaining ground till date and will in course of reestablishment of the Sanatan Dharma here will spread across the world to humanise it truly en route to its eventual goal of divinising the whole of humankind. A long road lies yet ahead.

Sugata Bose @Koushani Bhattacharya Yes, classical dance. So, also classical music. But not the debilitating versions that titillate the senses and weaken the nerves to which Swamiji, himself a sort of an adept in classical music, took strong exception.

Sugata Bose @Subha Prasad Sinha : You epitomise the debilitated Bengali with your response by way of quick conclusion about myself and my aims and aspirations.

Sugata Bose @Subha Prasad Sinha : You are partially read in Vivekananda. Hence your terrible misconception and failure to apprehend the aim and intent of the post.

Sugata Bose @Mita Mitra : You will have to yet mature spiritually and in strength before you are able to apprehend the teachings of Swami Vivekananda who had warned Nivedita about the erotic venom which Tagore and his family had flooded Bengal with. A day will come in this life or in some other life hence when sensuality masking as culture will stand revealed before you in all its nakedness and you will realise the import of what I have stated here in pursuance of the thought of the Seer of the Age, Swamiji.

Sugata Bose @Subrata Sengupta : So you do not think Swamiji was a seer who could see into the future and into the heart of things and thus had such an immature and fractured view of things? Moreover, Swamiji did not object to love and romance of an elevated kind but of rampant lustfulnesss whose venom the Tagore family in his opinion had flooded and was flooding Bengal with.

Sugata Bose @Satyanand Bhattacharjee : The post is about Swamiji's view about the Tagore family's creative carnal corruption of Bengal as revealed to Nivedita and disclosed later by her.

Sugata Bose @Gopal Chakraborty : কী বিপদ ! মানে করবেন না আবার, bi pod, অর্থাৎ, দ্বিপদ ।

Sugata Bose @Satyanand Bhattacharjee : Where have they been spared? Not in my posts for sure. As regards punishing them for their vices, the citizen has his vote but to cast against the perpetrator. What more does a democracy allow or ought to allow? The law is there as well to take its course in bringing to book the corrupt or the criminal politician and rendering justice to the violated.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : He is a money-maker. That is his fundamental agenda. The rest is just incidental. It needs greater guts and a sense of debased integrity at least than this coward has to become a fundamentalist of any merit or demerit if you like to put it that way.

Sugata Bose @Sujit Ray : No, no, All India Muslim League which precipitated Partition.

Sugata Bose @Souvik Chatterjee : Build character and from it courage of conviction to fearlessly articulate the truth without in the least bit diluting it to save our skin even as we remain sensitive to the sentiments of others. We must be honest in our verbal enunciation of truth without unduly causing hurt to others. For this we have to be adept in stating facts in an artful way that communicates without undue corroding effect on the adversary and yet expresses the whole truth without dilution or deflection or deviation from what is right.

Sugata Bose @Madurai Tirunelveli : বুঝলাম । ব্রাহ্মণ নাস্তিকের বেসামাল বক্তব্য কিন্তু কমিউনিস্টের কাছে একপ্রকার প্রত্যাশিত । আজ ব্রাহ্মণত্বের কী দশা ! বঙ্গসংস্কৃতির এককালের ধারকবাহক আজ বিজাতীয় দর্শনের প্রভাবে শুধুমাত্র নিজে পথভ্রষ্ট নয়, সমগ্র বাঙালী জাতিকে দিকভ্রান্ত করতে উদ্যত ।

Sugata Bose @Amitava Choudhury : লজ্জা হওয়া উচিত একথা বলে ।

Sugata Bose @Amitava Choudhury : You should be ashamed of yourself to have spoken thus as a Hindu unless, of course, you are a confirmed atheist who does not care for the country's culture. It were better if you dared pass such superior wisdom to your Muslim friends and exhorted them to act likewise with regard to their diet as allowed by their religious and cultural practice.

Sugata Bose @Neilabhra Roy : It seems you are a brahmajnani who has perceived the divinity of all and transcended dietary restrictions.

Sugata Bose @Prabir Bhattacharya : স্বামী বিবেকানন্দ পড়ুন । আমার লেখা পড়তে হবে না । বেদপুরাণের কোন বচনটি মানেন যে এহেন অসংযত বাক্য প্রয়োগ করছেন ? অপরকে দুর্বাক্য বলার পূর্বে নিজ ব্রাহ্মণত্ব পালন করুন । তাতে দেশের দশের অধিক কল্যাণ সাধিত হবে ।

Sugata Bose @প্রসেনজিৎ ঘোষ : ঠিক । তবে আসুন আমার সাথে কাজে, হিন্দুধর্মের পুনরুত্থানকল্পে ।

Sugata Bose @Kapan Dutta : আপনার মত অধার্মিককে সুপথে আনার জন্য । আর আপনি যে ধার্মিক নন তা বুঝেছি আপনার দূর্ভাষণ থেকে ।

Sugata Bose @Prabir Bhattacharya : গুণগত ব্রাহ্মণের কথা বলেছি যিনি সনাতন সংস্কৃতির ধারক ও বাহক যা মানুষকে ব্রহ্ম বলে ঘোষণা করে ৠষির আত্মপোলব্ধির সত্যকে গণ্য করে । মানুষ ভ্রমবশতঃ নিজেকে জীব ভাবে যেখানে স্বরূপতঃ সে ব্রহ্ম । তাই বলছি, স্বীয় দেবত্ববিকাশে যত্নবান হোন ।

Sugata Bose @Anindita Ghoshal : Ask your higher conscience and your spiritual consciousness.

Sugata Bose @Anindita Ghoshal : Question your own existence with it too.

Sugata Bose @Anindita Ghoshal : Question but do not insult the great spiritual personality in doing so. There is something called civility in research and query. That is the quintessence of education, culture and civilisation.

Sugata Bose @Uttam Mukherjee : Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda affirm Shree Ramchandra to be God incarnate whose earthly play has been merely depicted in the Ramayana.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Research and find out for yourself this fact which is universally known. I cannot indulge your indolence.

Sugata Bose @Subhas Roy : জড়বাদী ওঁরা, তাই নাস্তিক্যে আনন্দ অনুভব ।

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : But we are talking about CPI(M)'s dastardly designs against the Ramakrishna Mission.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Do research in the Belur Math library after the pandemic has been thoroughly seen through, not before by any chance, for it would be dangerous.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Appreciate your simplicity and honesty.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Which member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party has acknowledged this that Vivekananda was the precursorto the Chinese Revolution ? I would be gratified to know it if you would kindly tell.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Thanks. In China they address Swami Vivekananda as Bien Xifashi.

Sugata Bose @Neilabhra Roy : This is a dangerous and untrue statement. Of course we are Hindus. Did not the Supreme Court verdict of 1995 categorically state that the Ramakrishna Mission is a Hindu institution and that its members were, therefore, Hindus? It was a landmark judgement which went against the Mission which had claimed a dissociated identity distinct from Hinduism and had dubbed it Ramakrishnaism which the apex court rejected.

Sugata Bose @Madurai Tirunelveli : তাহলেও, সংযতবাকের প্রভাব আরো সুদূরপ্রসারী হবে বলে বোধ হয় ।

Sugata Bose @Mrinmaya Bandyapadhya : আমি ভুল বুঝিনি আপনাকে । এই লেখাটি দিলাম নিজের রচনার স্বাতন্ত্র্যরক্ষার্থে ও একই সাথে স্বামীজীর প্রতি ঋণ স্বীকার করতে । আমি বঙ্গবাসী । আমরা তো একসাথে কাজ করতে পারি সনাতন ধর্মে প্রচারক্ষেত্রে । যোগাযোগ রাখবেন ।

Sugata Bose @Mrinmaya Bandyapadhya : আশা করি আমায় শরৎচন্দ্র বসুর পৌত্র ঐতিহাসিক সুগত বসু বলে ভুল করছেন না । যদি করে থাকেন তো সে হবে আর এক ভ্রান্তিবিলাস ।

Sugata Bose @Mrinmaya Bandyapadhya : আমার সপ্রেম শ্রদ্ধা রইল আপনার ও আপনার পরিবারের প্রতি, বিশেষতঃ আপনার দাদামশাই / ঠাকুরদাদার প্রতি ।

Sugata Bose @Arupratan Dev : Wonderful ! Now you as a Hindu are behaving as an enemy to the Dharma. Shame on you ! And to contemplate the irony of your surname being Dev which alludes to the inherent divinity of all that is ! Of course it is clear that you are unaware of such latent brightness of your soul or of the Self in truth that is.

Sugata Bose @Arupratan Dev : I feel happy to know that you have a worshipful reverence for your earthly parents and that you have approximated the divine essence of existence in both its absolute and relative aspects as your own parents in the reverese order of things. May Sri Ramakrishna bless you ! May Ma Sarada keep you ever in her care !

Sugata Bose @Sayan Bhattacharjee : Yes, I did so because in general terms also we notice, or more often than not fail to notice, a certain lack of perfection in our endeavour, action and thoughts which manifest in our miserable performance in international sports events such as the Olympics and in our incapacity to win the Nobel Prize frequently like the Jews do, despite ourselves being the second-most populous country in the world. The way we keep our temples in complete contrast to the Sikh Gurdwaras, the way we irresponsibly manage our state affairs, our academic system, our politics and our social behaviour, all these are pointers to our laxity in endeavour springing from a certain lack of awareness about what perfection is all about. We are, indeed, today 'a wounded civilisation', to quote Naipaul, but we seem to be blissfully happy about our bleeding state which of course is the worst symptom of impending death. So, each one of us need to be better aware of our responsibilities and duties and we ought to start discharging them with due diligence and a growing sense of perfection which we should ever approximate. What do you say?

Sugata Bose @ Burman Goutam : Their citizenship should be taken away for they are anti-citizen. A new Act should be passed to bring this into effect. Then alone these leaders will see sense in every respect, citizenship et al.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : He needs expulsion from the World Cup itself like Maradona in 1994.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya Like communism which is also a religion, albeit a Godless one in spiritual terms but one in which the personality cult centring Lenin, Stalin, Mao et al who reign as the material deities forcing the subject proletariat into the worship mode with wanton killing securing such submission. The history of the Semitic religions is indeed violent beyond even diabolic description but that of communism in a century of its tempestuous life no less so. So, why pick and choose events historical to suit personal ideological convenience ? Impartially admit the dastardly nature of activated communism as well in 20th century socialist civilisation.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Haradhan Mukhopadhyay said so. The question is whether what he said is valid or not. That is for you to answer since you countered him thus.

Sugata Bose @Tanaya Afroz : বাজান । এ তো হিন্দু সংস্কৃতির অন্তর্গত এবং আপনি পালন করতেই পারেন । অবারিত দ্বার । কোরোনার সাথে শঙ্খধ্বনির কোন সম্বন্ধ নেই । এই প্রতিবেদনটি তো তা নিয়ে নয় । এই শঙ্খধ্বনি হিন্দু সংস্কৃতির একটি আনুষ্ঠানিক দিকমাত্র যদিও গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, তাৎপর্যপূর্ণ দিক ।

Sugata Bose @Swami Yogavrtananda : How is Swami Sampurnananda Puri Maharaj? Please answer urgently. Worried greatly. I happen to know him very well personally.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Themselves being the greatest ideological bigots and fanatical exponents of such bigotry in practice as history amply testifies. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceausescu et al are signposts to that effect with substantive Marxian theoretical backing, albeit in degenerative derivative of the same.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Do not be so unwise then as to undertake such misadventure as might backfire and dip you in the bog behind, the bog of your conceit and ideological bigoted intolerance. The history of communism, perhaps, has failed to teach you an adequate lesson that could have reformed you into a human being with credentials enough for entering into civilised debate with one such as me. Good luck them with your further research as would merit a future conversational confrontation which right now seems premature.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Oh, you are simply incorrigible and a self-conceited person nonpareil ! I have said what I have said on the basis of hard historical evidence whose veracity need not be mine to furnish before indolent Your Highness but which you ought to be diligent enough to research and verify and validate or reject if you discover and, so, deem it otherwise. The whole world knows about it and, hence, it needs no documentation before Your Excellency by insignificant me. As of now you have not only exhibited insolence but monumental ignorance about historical happenings as well as suits communists of coarse consciousness so well, we all know. Do not make yourself laughing stock before the wide world with your wild allegations and devious defence of the dastardly deeds of your venerated communist leaders. Let sanity prevail. God bless you, the God who you have forsaken despite being a titular brahmin ! Return to sense and sensibility spiritual lest the hour passes and returns no more to render unto an errant son a second opportunity to divinise himself. An addenda I must mention here is that I was well known to the great CPI leader Hiren Mukerjee through fond familial connection and was highly regarded by him for my strength of character, purpose, pursuits and unselfish love of my motherland as opposed to the defamation that you carelessly heap on me. Hiren Mukerjee had mentioned certain pertinent points about the common communist cadre of little understanding and blind allegiance to the ideology which today resonate with your assertions and attributes inferred by me thereof about your comprehension of communism, although I hasten to add that you are no common communist cadre or any relation to such. God bless you once again !

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : You ought to reform your ways. It is high time really for you are advanced in age and yet spiritually immature. What a lack of shraddha has overcome you ! How Swamiji had castigated men like you of disproportionate disloyalty to the nation's heritage and culture, men bred in maldigested alien ideology, literally heterodox individuals who have lost linkage to both motherland and mankind's sublimest philosophical tradition that our forefathers had discovered aeons ago ! It is such a shame that brahmins have sunk so low. An inglorious self-burial awaits them now as a new breed of renascent Indians awake to weed out the corrupting accretions of the past !

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Lier? Well lied about the spelling ! Now lay it straight please.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : You have not practised brahmacharya in your youth or in your entire life. Hence, you shall be incapable of understanding the import of the Upanishads. You read but the letter and miss the spirit which is apparent only to the one endowed with shraddha which you eminently lack. Hence, your fruitless vituperation.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Yes, you have rectified the spelling here. Now rectify it in your assertions and your lived life which has fruitlessly followed mere sceptics and not men of realisation.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Rest now. It is late. Do not over-excite your nerves. Your health demands greater care than this constant corrosive commenting will allow you. God bless you !

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Only one who has practised brahmacharya (continence) in his life ever will be able to understand it. Others like you will either wonder forever or wander in the mire of material desires and fail to apprehend this noble ideal of the renunciate's life. Vivekananda discards brahmacharya? Pray, since when? He was a flaming mass of perennial perfection in the pursuit and practice of purity, an absolutely continent person. So long I harboured a semblance of faith in your sanity but now, to my utter astonishment at your stupendous ignorance about Swamiji's life and attributes, I must withdraw such misplaced trust. Well done, old boy ! You have exposed the communist to the very rotten core.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : No, I am Pure Consciousness itself, also referred to as Absolute Consciousness. So, there is no knowing it but being it rather, knowing something being a relative aberration of the state of Pure Being. Sachchidananda has Chit in it which is Absolute Consciousness.

Sugata Bose @Anushree Roy : Are you the authoress of this excellent and awakening piece which has moved me beyond bounds? Are you similarly the authoress of all the other essays as well? I am not doubting you but am asking you only to confirm so as to allow my boundless admiration of the writings to take firm root in my consciousness and to spread the word around that there exists this wonderfully illuminating writer whose articles are an eye-opener for all as to the ravages that the Hindus had to endure for 1357 years, ever since the first onslaught on the subcontinent by Muslim marauders in 664 CE.

Sugata Bose @Swami Yogavrtananda : I am relieved. Thakur-Ma-Swamiji is taking care. He (Sampurnanandaji) will return to us soon, hale and hearty. Thank you Maharaj for bringing the good news. My pranam to you.

Sugata Bose @Subha Prasad Sinha : ছি ! ছি ! কী অমানবিক মানসিকতা !

Sugata Bose @Bittu Bhattacharyya : আপনার এ প্রশ্ন অমূলক কারণ ঈশ্বরের পাদপদ্মে যিনি আত্মনিবেদিত, তিনি কে তাঁকে গণ্য করল আর কে করল না তা নিয়ে ভাবিত হন না ।

Sugata Bose @Suvasish Ganguly : 'স্বামী বিবেকানন্দের বাণী ও রচনা' আদ্যোপান্ত শ্রদ্ধাসহকারে পাঠ করুন, জানতে পারবেন ।

Sugata Bose @Anindya Roy : Rather sad self-proclamation, a pertinent feature of perverse times !

Sugata Bose @Manoj Sivan : Sampurnanandaji has passed away on 25 April, 2021, on the original Mahasamadhi Day of Swami Vijnananandaji which fell on 25 April, 1938. And this event had been predicted the day before on 24 April, 1938 by Swami Nirmalanandaji. Thereafter he predicted his own Mahasamadhi Day which was to befall the following day on 26 April, 1938. Today is that day, 83 years since that hallowed day. It is strange that Sampurnanandaji should have died on the very day which had been predicted by Swami Nirmalanandaji . It is perhaps proof of his great devotion to the venerable Tulsi Maharaj, that is the way I would nostalgically feel like explaining this odd occurrence.

Sugata Bose @Koustav Chatterjee : একে আত্মপ্রচার বলে | 'Note the Devil doth cite the scripture for his purpose. '

Sugata Bose @Alok Sa5rkar : কী সুন্দর লিখেছেন ! ছবির মত মনে বসে গেল |

Sugata Bose @Sayandip Pahari : Bhagat Singh was not aware of the inner Reality of the Atman, having concentrated his life's forces on the external freedom of his people. Moreover, the question you have raised is extraneous to the post. Bhagat Singh was not a crooked person.

Sugata Bose @Sayandip Pahari : That does not detract from the fact that the atheist of perverted proclamation is unaware of the Divine Reality and is sense-bound to a fault, a materialist who ought to raise his spirit to becoming identified with the aforesaid Divine essence of things. The post is being misinterpreted by you to suit your divergent material standpoint which is extraneous to the discussion.

Sugata Bose @Sayandip Pahari : Bhagat Singh never did figure in the content of the post. Hence, the misapprehension on your part was original in your slanted reading of it. Men such as the great patriot are for the time being in the penumbra of material-spiritual consciousness or in the transition phase of their higher earthly evolution. Once these external distractions, however exalted, are removed from their surface consciousness owing to altered situational demands, both external and psychological, they are drawn up into the sublime regions of spiritual consciousness. Consciousness ever is spiritual and never material. But the cover of sense-distraction which is termed Maya in the Vedanta lends it a material outfit and the deluded soul, taking it to be the truth, is seduced into misapprehension about Reality. Only the one who has experienced samadhi knows the Truth. Bhagat Singh had conquered fear, lust and greed. He had endured such rigours as has qualified him for being an adept at 'Titiksha' or spiritual forbearance. He is en route yo spiritual truth and was passing through an intermediate state where the divine light was shining on him from within but he could not trace its source. The same thing was in a somewhat variant manner alluded to by Sri Ramakrishna about Vidyasagar.

Sugata Bose @Sayandip Pahari : I would not attempt to interfere with the teachings of this great man (Bhagat Singh) but would preach Vivekananda, nonetheless, as I now do. And neither would I have subscribed to his stance on the ultimate reality of life and existence for my own spiritual experience would testify otherwise.

Sugata Bose @DrAjey B. Shinde : You are misreading the content and intent and import of my post. Hence the resulting misapprehension.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Bhattacharya : Read Vivekananda and find out. The materialist, atheist of selfish attributes certainly hath not it in the sense I mean it, selfishness itself standing in the way. Read Swamiji's 'Karma Yoga' to begin with in your quest for a comprehensive and satisfactory answer. Then thoroughly study the whole of the 'Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'.

Sugata Bose @Satchit Roy: Both of you accept my heartiest commendations for your togetherness. Now help spread Swamiji across the world for the integration of the world, too. And do it together. In it shall lie continued conjugal bliss and the right performance of dharma.

Sugata Bose @Narayanan P D Namboodiri : One more martyr to the Mother. Thakur's brave warriors. May Mother protect all !

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : What makes you comment thus? Surprising when it comes from you. I am no soothsayer that I could had foreseen and predicted with any degree of accuracy electoral outcomes.

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : Ambiguous. Oh, I now get to see what you are hinting at.

Sugata Bose@Subrata Basak : It seems you have a rotten sense of humour.

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : Oh, what a poem ! What feeling ! What spontaneous overflow in words of thoughts sincere and sublime ! Save this one for posterity to mark this night of dark depression when Death howls through the vale of tears and torment, when Kali the Mother reveals Her other side 'scattering plagues and sorrows'. This night will pass, dawn will once more be, but let us learn from suffering that both day and night are but ephemeral covers on the bright face of Brahman which is our Real Self, that which is imperishable amidst the perishing forms and faces of familiar association and pain in separation. Yet abides their Supreme Reality which transcends this deathly dance and inspires hope of a future earthly survival, of a brighter becoming and a depth incision which reveals that which ever is but seems not amidst the whirl of delusive phenomena. God bless you, Poulome, for this beautiful rendition in poetic terms of a horror which we are all passing through, one which you have thus encapsulated in such brimming words, almost flooding the lines with the emotion that comes through thus but so rare in poesy ! Poetry is so often insincere -- as even the great Byron has been charged with -- where words are spelt out with deliberation for the sake of linguistic adornment and never by way of 'spontaneous overflow' as Wordsworth defined. Yours, though, has transcended such superficial verbalisation and such definitive boundaries to touch the hearts of your readers for your words have been born right in the womb of your soul and freshly delivered into the night of dancing death to sow the seeds of a fresher harvest. God preserve you and yours even unto the wider circle of your expanding heart's touch and feel !

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : Wholeheartedly support this idea of paying for the vaccination of one's workforce. Great suggestion. May work wonders for the cause of countering COVID.

Sugata Bose @Amrita Mukherjee : Such a gentleman from the very look on his face ! A loss, indeed ! Death (COVID) has become so commonplace that we must be wary that we do not turn callous in our attitude towards the colossal loss that families are suffering thus. It seems we have returned to medieval times of monstrous ignorance and mighty fallibility with death raging over continents like a harrowing nightmare. We have hardly improved in our sense of responsibility despite our pronounced gains in technical knowhow. Else, we would have better tackled this deathly viral dance and countered this catastrophe that is now befalling us. Death is always painful, for the loved ones, when they depart, they leave behind bleeding hearts in their near and dear ones, memories that in absence of the departed make life seem insipid and hollow, fruitless and futile. Death is never to be thus regarded as statistic even when happening en masse, for each loss is intensely personal and sanctified in its private association. Let us fight on and win this war collectively, for either united we win it or divided we fall. My condolences, I know, mean nothing in this hour of grief but I, yet, sincerely do offer it to the family that grieves and bears this loss.

Sugata Bose @Ashim Banerjee : কি সেই সত্য ? প্রশ্নটা এটাই | উত্তর দিয়েছেন যদিও শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ, সেই সনাতন আধ্যাত্মিক সত্য ও স্বামীজী দিয়েছেন তার বাস্তবব্যাখ্যা, প্রয়োগকৌশল ও ঐতিহাসিক পরিপ্রেক্ষি, পরিণাম ও উত্থানের উপায় |

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : A lioness ought not merely to suffer but to build up strength in silence to fall upon society like an avalanche in the future. Gear yourself up, Poulome, for this renewal of force, for this resurrection that must be in light of the dark that prevails. We need lionesses like you to thwart the malefic designs of the evil elements that be with a fresh affirmation of the eternal truths of the Upanishads in life-like terms, in a vigorous representation in the polity that has gone perverse.

Sugata Bose @Bhaskar Mukherjee : Who all, Bhaskar, since you had tagged me? But I must say your language is too good, simply brilliant, a talent that must produce a biographical work on Swamiji.

Sugata Bose @Omaditya Swarnendu Biswas : First understand that every post has a perspective which ought to be seen with sympathetic understanding and not antithetical contradiction all the time that smacks of the apparent intent of imposition of your own views as gleaned from your rather voluminous knowledge of the scriptures supposedly.

Sugata Bose @Omaditya Swarnendu Biswas : The Rishis, according to Sri Ramakrishna, had attained to Self-realisation before marriage. Hence, they could hold on to the manhood they had already attained, post marital union. Theirs was union not for sensual satisfaction but for the sake of perpetuation of their familial line. Sri Ramakrishna says that anybody without knowledge of God will be drowned by marriage because of its material attachments and associations, sorrows and afflictions. Hence, marriage one ought to step into post-realisation ideally. Whoever Sri Ramakrishna had asked how his wife was had said that she was good, proving that they were all enslaved to them. As Thakur said that they were all 'Meger daas,' meaning, 'slaves to woman.' Sri Ramakrishna used to have a quiet laugh with devotees over this issue. Only a deintoxicated person comprehends the inebriation of liquor and not one in the intoxicated state. Hence, only a renounced soul can appreciate this truth of enslavement or freedom in marriage and not one thoroughly immersed in it. Thus the queer responses to this post which themselves are validation of the truth of Swami Brahmananda's statement.

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : The question arises -- are we her sons?

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : Only in so many words? What about our living upto becoming true sons of the Mother? Are we to remain such indolent children, devoid of vigour, that we shall in our effeminacy lie content with Mother doing everything for us while we languish in the material mire of this despicable earthly existence?

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : তো আমরা কালীর পুত্র কাপুরুষ !

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : Crying will not do. What is needed is vigorous, valorous, virile action. Then only victory will be secured. The valorous do not weep. They fashion circumstance for others to harvest reap.

Sugata Bose @Rítãm Màitrà : Yes. It is, indeed, hard to locate one such now. But then one needs the discerning eye, too. Like Sri Ramakrishna said, "The sand and the sugar are mixed up" and only the one endowed with genuine discrimination can sift the grain from the chaff even as "the swan separates milk from water." None is apparent, though, as Swamiji in his time was.

Sugata Bose @সৌভিক বিশ্বাস : Rubbish. It is the essence of capitalist propagation of saleable product.

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : Between 'commerce' and 'sold to commerce' there is an ocean of difference.

Sugata Bose @Poulome Mitra Shaw : It seems you have missed the fundamental point here.

Sugata Bose @Chandra Kumar Bose : At last a person has understood the import of my post in a certain sense. I, however, had meant in it that we had once risen to such a high degree of executive perfection in our national endeavours which is sadly and badly lacking in our current enterprises, that is, if they may be afforded such an accolade in linguistic terms. Alas, the post generally -- as more often than not it does -- miscarried !

Sugata Bose @Mohan Halder : I feel humbled that she held me and gave me the occasion to see the light of day whose perennial sunshine has now for decades been for both of us the abiding sublime love of Thakur-Ma-Swamiji, and eventually, Gurudev.

Sugata Bose @Ketaki Gupta Sen : And how true it is in the context today when corruption abounds despite a protracted struggle leading to political freedom and a free government operating for now over seven decades. Verily it is that Swamiji abjured politics as of secondary significance in India's rise as a nation. Character it was whose formation he stressed on as his fundamental gospel of human transformation and he must have done so having seen deep into the play of Maya over the inner essence where man is free but a state which he remains apparently unaware of. Unless India comes under the spiritual influence of Sri Ramakrishna, Swamiji stated, there was no hope of her redemption in the present age of intense darkness which is brightening gradually though under the gracious glow of the Master. By this statement as well Swamiji must have meant that the nation would acquire character and consequent strength to harmonically rise in spiritual and material culture by adhering to the precepts which the Master through his austere practice exemplified in his life. If Swamiji's words are heeded, we will reap its harvest in terms of a flourishing national life, for his words are seeds of much potency and conducive to a fertile efflorescence. Till the nation en masse awakes then, let us individually, as Ramakrishna-Vivekananda devotees, put to practice the divine duo's teachings so that a beginning that has already been well made by the Master and his Apostolic band is furthered along its inevitable line of fruition.

Sugata Bose @Rítãm Màitrà : That's the pity, the political predicate attached to my person through no fault of mine, the predicament of the name.

Sugata Bose @Nareshwarananda Swami : What about the hankering for name and fame we so often see in monks, a trait they carry in 90% of their numbers, according to Swamiji? Should such monastics be deemed spiritual?

Sugata Bose @Sujoy Mukherjee : জঘন্য ! ন্যাকামির চূড়ান্ত ! ঠিক ঠাকুর-স্বামীজীর কামকাঞ্চন ত্যাগের বলিষ্ঠ ভাব বিরোধী অতিনমনীয় কাব্যসুলভতা যা একান্তভাবে বর্জনীয় স্বামীজীর প্রদর্শিত পৌরুষদৃপ্ত পথ পরিক্রমণের জন্য |

Sugata Bose @Self-realization Fellowship : It (Autobiography of a Yogi) is not a classic. It is a fluidly written mass of lies that has disgraced Indian spirituality in essence. It is meant for the mercenaries of religion, not true men of the Spirit who walk with God or walk along the razor's edge towards that ultimate sublime goal which is the destination of this perennially faltering pilgrim called man and the destiny of his earthly evolution.

Sugata Bose @Rama Ghosh : আপনি আমাদের এই জনদুঃসময়ে এই মহাজীবনী উপস্থাপনা করে শান্তি প্রদান করছেন | আমাদের অভিবাদন স্বীকার করুন |

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : Ahaha ! What beauty in enunciation !

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : Absolutely so. Individuality must be creatively affirmed within the collective framework called society. That was the original purpose of the organisation of society itself based on the gregarious instinct of the human species like many of its cousins in the lower order of vital existence like the elephant and the ant with the only exception in the human case being that of its higher awareness and ability to express such in creative endeavour that can fashion circumstance out of the raw sample available to suit furtherance of the evolution of the species along higher and higher channels. And for all this is required faith in oneself and the individual contribution thereof in terms of one's life's output toward the greater good of the many who surround and supplement, each to each, and in this lies also eventual fulfilment in the gaining of liberation from the transmigratory cycle of birth, life and death, seemingly ad infinitum.

Sugata Bose @Sameer Banik : It does. And it had started much before this affirmation, for it was a later observation of the decay in its latter-day fullness. No wonder Swamiji had asked Baburam Maharaj (Swami Premananda) to start a Ved Vidyaalay just hours before his passing away on 4 July, 1902. Alas ! Bengal revels still in her abject effeminacy.

Sugata Bose @Pulak Ghosh : Fair enough. It is always good to agree to disagree.

Sugata Bose @Nitin Diwadkar : Oh ! I never knew Swamiji felt insulted so easily. And I think you missed a zero in your enumeration. Did you?

Sugata Bose @Ashim Banerjee : Not really. Worked with Catholic sisters and brothers of the order of renunciates but with lay people of all religions, communities and races, and for people of all nations, cutting across cultural, social, religious and ethnic divisions.

Sugata Bose @Nitin Diwadkar : Oho ! Old boy, I have been at Swamiji's feet for the whole of my adult life, beginning from early youth, and have thoroughly gone through his Complete Works.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Ashok : Wish this fungus (Mother Teresa) had infected me more. It would have been bliss and life-transforming.

Sugata Bose @Ranajit Nandi : Yes, from evil unto good, from sinner unto saint, from ignorant unto illumined.

Sugata Bose @Riya Bhattacharya : Muslims have as well a lot to learn from Hindus. Only then this future formulation of Swamiji's will find fruition.

Sugata Bose @Tapas Banerjee : You are not obligated to do so anyway. Rather you can suggest your own name for the greatest figure after Swamiji.

Sugata Bose @Sanjoy Goswami : Sure enough, you may and you must if need be. You could perhaps, suggest your own name in place of Mother Teresa.

Sugata Bose @Shaoni Sarma : Who said, "I am a socialist, not because I consider it to be a perfect system but because half a loaf is better than no bread at all."? Read the post well before you hazard your opinion. It is leftist of the Indian spiritual kind, that is the people-oriented spiritual approach, a la Buddha of the modern age with philosophical distinctions galore.

Sugata Bose @Bikram Mookerjee : Isn't a socialist a leftist as well by historical implication of nomenclature?

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : It is good to make people stir out of lethargy and think. At least they will fulfil Swamiji's aspiration, "Let men be thinkers."

Sugata Bose @Swami Sunirmalananda : Care and carefulness are the watchwords of the monasticism introduced by Swamiji in this age. Yes, it is the vast network of Mahamaya everywhere and a moment's inadvertence will cause a precipitous fall. So, you are absolutely right. 'Reject anything that weakens you as poison.' (Swamiji) But for that the right discernment is necessary too for which observance of scriptural regulations are the sine qua non.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : No, no, not at all. I only wish to quicken and clarify socioreligious thinking and in the process reduce fanatical, absolutist tendencies among men, either uninformed or little informed and with scant understanding of the deeper imperatives of life and collective human civilisation. The objective in essence is to bring home Thakur-Ma-Swamiji to common consciousness to the best of my feeble abilities.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : Why? Do you not read my copious other posts as well?

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : Right. And socialism is deemed left-orientation, that is, the people-oriented approach.

Sugata Bose @Poonam Mis : No, bringing people to maturity of thinking.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : Nothing is inconsequential. See how people are responding. They are thinking about these seminal giants among men. This will do them good. Let men think.

Sugata Bose @Hritik Kulkarni : Who is imposing? I am making my observations on my profile wall. Where have I ridiculed any? I have shown respect to all. It is time that others do so as well. Introspect, dear citizen.

Sugata Bose @Subrata Chatterjee : Get inside a cooling chamber.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : Quite so, in the opinion of many. But in the world context?

Sugata Bose @Shaoni Sarma : You are right. Only it applies to you as well.

Sugata Bose @Bikram Mookerjee : And have I not written in the post 'leftist of the Indian spiritual kind'?

Sugata Bose @Poonam Mis : Who has compared in this post Swamiji and Mother? Have I? Read well and remark.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : I write as the thoughts come, neither to influence any nor to bring home any religiopolitical idea to the masses. I write as the pressure of thoughts, as dictated by my conscience and the consciousness behind, impels me to do. If people get influenced or if they do not, that in no way alters my compulsion to express myself. The work is the Lord's and the fruits are His as well. Humanity belongs to me, entirely and not in segments or preferred partitions. My commendations to all, my salutations to all, my veneration to the wordhip-worthy of all races and climes.

Sugata Bose @Amitabha Dutta Majumdar : Good but extraneous to the post.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : Which is why Sri Ramakrishna came to redress things and set the house to order. But Rammohan's contributions are varied and seminal and laid the foundation for the emergence of modern India. Above all he saved Hindus from getting converted to Christianity en masse and so did a seminal service to the Mother Religion and the Motherland.

Sugata Bose @Goswami Rupa : I do not consider herself to be so. Hence, the imperative is yours, not mine.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : Superbly articulated. I admire your courage of conviction and expression thereof.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : Learn to speak respectfully. If you lack thus in fundamental civility, desist from communicating with me.

Sugata Bose @Shirshendu Pandit : Why should I? Freedom of thinking and expression thereof. If you are too wise to deem social media communication with a supposedly foolish one as this author distasteful or an exercise in futility, then instead of asking me to stop, you had better taken the alternative initiative to refrain from it.

Sugata Bose @Mukul Roy : Please stand close to them and help them by all means but mere spewing hatred online against their aggressors does not mend matters. Are you willing to sacrifice anything for the preservation of your religion?

Sugata Bose @Goswami Rupa : Laughter's the best medicine, especially in these treacherous times amidst these tragic circumstances.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : The Bengalis had by then already got mass converted to Islam. Rammohan prevented the further decline of the Hindus in numbers by offering an alternative path to the Sanatan Dharma, always avowing himself as a Hindu right till his end, and, so, saved Hinduism and the Hindus from their own degeneration and from perverse proselytization of both Christianity and Islam. In this regard he was the rightful precursor to Ramakrishna-Vivekananda who set the definitive seal on the movement to safeguard the spiritual culture of the motherland.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : Rammohan was an erudite in several languages including Sanskrit and had studied the Vedas and like scriptural literature avidly. He studied Islamic scripture (the Holy Quran) in Arabic, Jewish and Christian scripture (the Holy Bible) in Hebrew and the Hindu scripture (the Vedas) in Sanskrit. His response was typical, perhaps, of the times, to its social iniquities, and, hence, he was at variance with many of the prevalent Puranic customs of the times.

Sugata Bose @Ashok Kotha : Not quite. The fifteen year old mendicant boy Subhas had at the end of his sojourn in search of a spiritual Guru in the pilgrimages come to the Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service at Kashi (Varanasi) and expressed before the then Abbot of Belur Math, Swami Brahmananda, who was then residing there, his aspiration for being initiated into the renunciate's order which the venerable sage had declined and sent him home with prophetic directions and blessings as to his future work in the service of the motherland.

Sugata Bose @Rudradeb Sanyal : Perhaps so by the modern historical nomenclature following revolutionary trends since the French Revolution.

Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : You are over-simplifying things. Demography follows its own laws. Rammohan strengthened Hinduism. Hindus themselves have much to blame for their befallen fate as they have internally fought among themselves -- like you see what's happening here on Facebook which is reflective of the social reality -- and weakened themselves in consequence. We ought to take a leaf out of the greats like Rammohan, Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Aurobindo and the like to strengthen ourselves and rebuild our polity.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : But Swamiji had made this statement in some context with reference to Bengal. Hence, Bengal in this reference came up for discussion.

Sugata Bose @Deepak Sarkar : But the 'Sanskrit College' was built by the British in Kolkata.

Sugata Bose @Somnath Bandyoapdhayay : Please continue with your comments and your misperception about my motives and actions for who can reveal light before the one who perforce has blindfolded himself. I have no problems whatsoever in dealing with your observations and will continue to maintain my posts as before as per my perceptions, albeit if even for the concerned moment which with passing time is always amenable to alteration, modification and evolutionary development. God bless you ! And, by the way, what did you find offensive in my post regarding the status of the aforesaid great men when they themselves had attested to every bit that I have affirmed about them.

Sugata Bose @Shirshendu Pandit : Very difficult to understand but very humorous presentation, nonetheless. God bless you !

Sugata Bose @Sachin Ketkar : Netaji joined the rightist fascists out of political pragmatism, expediency of the hour and not out of affirmed conviction. Did he ever say as such that he was a fascist or that he supported the said political philosophy? He did at one point in his political career say, though, that India needed a fusion of communism and fascism for her national reconstruction, just as he in a like manner say later during his epic war years that what India needed was a twenty year dictatorship of the Congress to discipline her population.

Sugata Bose @Sachin Ketkar : Good that you have the guts to speak your mind out in terms open.

Sugata Bose @Ashok Kotha : Please do not falsify history thus. Raja Rammohan Roy died in Bristol, England, in 1833 and was buried in Bristol itself where a memorial was raised later to honour his person and seminal contributions to humanity.

Sugata Bose @Sourav Chakraborty : But, whatever it may be, Romilla Thapar is a towering intellectual of impeccable academic attainments and credentials thereof for which she has been honoured worldwide. We must learn from all but keep our powder dry so that delusion does not set in. For this the safest way is to take a daily dose of Vivekananda from his considerable Complete Works. If we fail to garner knowledge from all available sources, the loss will be ours, the intellectual impoverishment ours as well. As regards the content of your comment, well, many of these historians are of the opinion that most of our Puranas are post-Buddhist literature, a statement made by Swami Vivekananda as well. But it is a well-established fact that the Ramayana and the Mahabharata clearly predate Buddha and, hence, Ashoka.

Sugata Bose @Sourav Chakraborty : But we have to counter them with scholarship and not idle venom as we are wont to doing.

Sugata Bose @Sourav Chakraborty : They are no match for these much more refined intellects.

Sugata Bose @Sourav Chakraborty : There you have a pertinent point.

Sugata Bose @
