THE SPIRITUAL RECLAMATION OF BANGLADESH

THE SPIRITUAL RECLAMATION OF BANGLADESH 

🕉 The spiritual conquest of Bangladesh seems as yet a far cry but the seeds have been sown and the early sprouts are being visible to the discerning eye. Bangladesh, the bastion of negative theology these days, is slowly caving in to the pressure of Truth which must inevitably triumph in course of time.

The path of evolution is protracted and tortuous, and makes its way through innumerable impediments amidst the altering text of history. So will Ramakrishna-Vivekananda triumph in reclaiming the spiritual heritage of this once hallowed land which was the seat of the Sanatan culture.

Civilisation and culture never stay put at one place but the dynamic forces of Nature push them forward to attain higher and higher altitudes. Bangladesh will recover her lost heritage and unite with the rest of the subcontinent in singing the glory that the Real Man is which is the sum and substance of the Sanatan Dharma. How it will happen lies obscure as yet in the womb of time but it will surely come to pass.

These visits of the Swamis of the Ramakrishna Order to grace the different Mission centres in Bangladesh augur well for the future recovery of our Sanatan civilisation which must include all harmonic elements to fuse them into a spiritual melodic unit composed of diverse elements, organised and oriented to produce the symphony of the soul. 🕉
