LONG LIVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE!
LONG LIVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE!
The Jews are the crème de la crème of human society in terms of intellect, talent and sheer genius. They are the most persecuted people as well and need to be preserved as a race. It is of utmost importance, of critical concern for all of humanity that the Jews are saved from the forces of evil that threaten to annihilate them.
The dark can never bear the light. So it is that medieval monstrosity can hardly bear Jewish survival despite the latter contributing constantly to seminal advances in every sphere of human knowledge that goes to benefit even these agencies of evil.
Over 20% of the Nobel laureates are Jewish, although the Jews are a minuscule 1.875% of the global population. Where would we be were we to be deprived of such seminal Jewish contribution?
The Nazis did untold damage to human society by eliminating 90% of the 6.6 million European Jewish population. From there they have clawed back to where they are today at 15 million and they are being threatened with annihilation all over again from who we all know. It is time to stand in solidarity with this singlemost persecuted people against these elements of evil who carry human and divine mandate to annihilate this most gifted of races. We will not allow that to happen. Long live the Jewish people!

MESSAGES GALORE ... 79
MESSAGES GALORE ... 79
1.
Live like a lion,
Not like a fox.
2. How gullible can people be to believe that Islam is a religion of peace?
3. Hindus, do not convert to Islam under any pretext. You are the last hope of humanity. The Vedanta must rationalise religion.
4. We must rationalise India once more as the Buddha had done ages ago. That subsequent aberrations crept in would mean that this rationalisation is a continuous process and must not be restricted to a specific historical instance. We must revive the Sanatan civilisational rational-intuitive system of enquiry, scrutiny and critical thinking which had ushered in a golden civilisation ages ago whose ruins we are located in and yet gloriously so. We must build on foundations laid in remotest antiquity and usher in a new order of humanity that is shorn of medieval monstrosity aoparent in roguish religious apparel. This is our civilisational trust, this the burden of our hoary heritage. 🕉
5. Multiply to build your might. This is the Islamic idea behind both conversion and high birth-rate. It works well in a democracy, it being ruled by numbers. Populate and seize power. And what elaborate social networking to achieve the vicious end!
6. Tyranny is intolerable. Better death than servitude.
7. Unless Hindus raise their Self-consciousness as opposed to slogans, this country will progressively precipitate unto its doom.
8. Children must be taught self-defence, horse-riding, archery and shooting by way of bringing them up to becoming valorous citizens.
9. Flood India with vigorous Vivekananda by posting passages that awaken manliness, not those that talk of high spirituality alone.
10. If God's will be operational on us, how can we have free will? We just cannot unless we in essence are God. Even then the outer human will being subject to conditions and circumstance, it cannot be free. It is a rather complicated thing. We are apparently free, yet not quite truly free.
11. Detachment is a fair tool for self-preservation.
12. Work tires but lack of work tires too. World-weariness is death-dealing unless despair leads to delight that lifts the spirit.
13. Islam in castigating kaffirs and assigning them hellfire has evidently manifested its supremacist attitude. Can Muslims condone such a scriptural stance which is essentially divisive and inhuman?
14. One must be self-confident and not servile in one's dealings with men contrarily disposed to oneself in thought and bearing.
15. Resist evil ideologies on an ideological front if you want the Sanatan civilisation to survive.
16. Numbers matter and you know where in Europe and in India the numbers are heading. Alarming!
17. With demographic change in India, culture is plummeting.
18. Hours are inconsequential. Moments matter.
19. Communism may be dead and buried but Marx is alive in leftist terms. The West is reeling under a leftist takeover with its unholy alliance with Islam. Who eventually rules is to be seen.
20. Beneath the garb of western civilisation there lies a barbarism that has deluged the world in blood. The West needs to introspect.
21. So long as one has desire for money, spirituality is a far cry.
22.
Moods change with changing times,
Goods change too.
23. Live in God. Cast all else aside and, strong one, work on. You are omnipotent, irresistible, beauteous delight of the Soul.
24. Combat evil head on. No question of accommodating it.
25. Why can't we make our country more beautiful when our fundamental credo is 'Sundaram'?
26. They colonise, loot, destroy, kill, then teach us human rights. Bravo Britain!
27. We must be accurate in our thinking and articulate enough with delightful diction to be able to clearly communicate.
28. Hindus are being wiped out in Pakistan which for all its ills is itself in a precarious existential crisis.
29. Hindus in India should think about the persecution that Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh are facing. Then feel for them. Act now.
30. What Hindus are facing in Pakistan and Bangladesh is the fate awaiting them in India as well as the demographic balance shifts.
31. If a religion is so intolerant that it must destroy all else, its days are numbered. This prophecy will fulfil.
32. Pakistan and Bangladesh are hell for Hindus. Carved out of India, how dare they persecute us? But that is their blessed faith.
33. Conversion by force will corrupt this creed so badly that its toxicity will consume it. History will avenge its atrocity on Hindus.
34. Fools do not know the agenda of Islam in the West. Soon they will learn.
35. A bit more of courage and commitment, my dear friends. This cowardice and callousness will consume you before long.
36. বড্ড ভীতু, বাবা !
37. মরতে যারা ভয় পায়, মরণ তাদের দোরে |
38. Islam in India must be ideologically confronted like Europe has confronted Christianity. But for that Hindus must read the Qur'an.
39. For us, Hindus, our civilisational interest must take precedence over self-interest. Then alone our civilisation may be saved. 🕉
40. Political Hinduism is confused. Not so Political Islam. The latter has its agenda clear---the destruction of all Mushriks.
41. ঠাকুর বললেন, "টাকা মাটি, মাটি টাকা |" কালে হল "টাকা খাঁটি, খাঁটি টাকা |" ঠাকুরের অনুগামী আজ কই ? প্রয়োজনের নামে লোভ ?
42. Hindu think-tanks are necessary; Hindu universities catering specifically to Hindu interests and awakening them to their existential threats are the call of the hour.
43. Hindus were converted to Islam largely by the sword. Now they are being converted by Dawah with all its strategies.
44. The Islamic invasion of India was the worst thing to have happened to her. Even today India reels under its effect.
45. Hindus must integrate. Right now they are hopelessly divided ideologically, socially and through plain self-interest. 🕉 is the unifier.
46. Islam polarised the world into kaffir (infidel) and momin (believer) long before Hindutva or RSS were born. Point to be noted.
47. What avails in debating over theological nitty-gritty when you fail to question the fundamental tenets of your faith?
48. আমরা বড় অল্পে সন্তুষ্ট হই | এটা পরাজয়ের প্রথম লক্ষণ | লক্ষ অনেক বড় হওয়া উচিত | (প্যারিস অলিম্পিক্স)
49. So long as advertising idiocy on television goes on reflective of the general foolishness, national excellence is a far cry.
50. Ours is the largest population in the world. Ought we not to win the largest number of gold medals as well in the Paris Olympics?
51. India is right now doing gloriously at no.19, 22 at the Paris Olympics with a lone bronze medal.
52. 
Manu Bhaker shoots to glory at the Paris Olympics. Individuals are coming through with medals. What the need, though, is is infrastructural and technical support. One bronze is not enough. There should be a flood of gold medals. Congratulations Manu Bhaker for making the breakthrough at Paris which others can now emulate. #ParisOlympics2024

53. The calmer the athlete, the better the performance. The same goes for the nation that will do best. #ParisOlympics2024
54. The national scene must be less of froth and more of stuff. Then alone hype and hoopla will give way to performance. Excellence is then but a step away.#ParisOlympics2024
55. China is showing what to be Vishvaguru is.
#ParisOlympics2024
Vishvaguru India on joint 19th/22nd/25th/26th/29th/33rd position.
56. We are a nation of low expectations, high hype, imperfect preparation and poor performance. Excitement must give way to calmness, monetary craving to cultural excellence and general chaotic thinking to clarified conception. The reality check must keep our feet planted on earth as we labour to light and high achievement. Mere pandering to our vanities will take us nowhere. Hard work and the perfectionist attitude is the key to success.
57. Manu (Bhaker)-Sarabjot (Singh) duo dazzle. Second bronze now. #ParisOlympics2024
58. India sinks to joint 33rd position despite a second bronze.
#ParisOlympics2024
59. Christianity has historically been as bigoted and violent as Islam. Both these faiths are tyrannical imposition on humanity.
60. It is best to say 'Olympic' instead of 'Olumpic'. Such mispronounciation is common in India n rather jarring. Must we all lump it?
61. সাধনা ব্যতীত সিদ্ধি মেলে না |
62. এত অল্পে 'সন্তুষ্ট' জাতি ! কী অসম্ভব লঘুচিত্ত সব !
63. What is the point in being World no.1 if you cannot thereon strike gold at the Olympics? Each time such a miss cannot be condoned.
64. Third bronze for India at #ParisOlympics2024. Swapnil Kusale keeps the tricolour flying high.
65. National concentration must be built up. I so often feel so despondent to behold such levity among the youth I personally know.
66. যারা স্বর্ণপদক পাচ্ছে তারা অধিকাংশই বিদ্যাশক্তি | এই মায়ারাহিত্যই তাদের কীর্তির উৎকর্ষের মূল সহায়ক |
#ParisOlympics2024
67. A great nation is irrepressibly on the rise--China.
#ParisOlympics2024
68. মস্তিষ্কের উৎকর্ষের সাথে যদি হৃদয়ের উৎকর্ষ সমভাবে সাধিত হয়, তবেই মানুৃষ, নচেৎ নয় |
69. India 3 Australia 2. Hockey hopes on.
#ParisOlympics2024
70. The disciple nations all doing far better than Vishvaguru. True Guru is like this. His disciples surpass him.
#ParisOlympics2024
71. Will India win the archery bronze (mixed team)?
Sorry, lost it.
#ParisOlympics2024
72. Sen in semifinal.
#ParisOlympics2024
73. লক্ষ্যপথে অগ্রসর লক্ষ্য সেন |
#ParisOlympics2024
74. We must learn musicality in social behaviour for greater general harmony and excellence in performance in any sphere of activity.
75. বিজ্ঞাপনের ভাঁড়ামো, বোকামো, চপলতা বন্ধ হলে দেশ প্রস্তুত হবে আন্তর্জাতিক ক্ষেত্রে সফলতার জন্য |
76. What a waste of talent when rusted, gifts go in vain!
77. 
The model for Indian womanhood, its highest personified ideal.
78. Unless we become rationalised as a nation, we will continue to fail at the highest level of sports in the international arena.
79. Pugilist Nishant Dev loses but valiantly so in the quarterfinals. #ParisOlympics2024
80. The Mumbai film culture must be got over with before India does anything substantial in the world of sports. It is despicable.
81. Urban India has largely become a Mumbai song and dance troupe. It is disgusting to see such lowly culture on television.
82. A wonderful nation of low expectations, easy satisfaction, hype and hoopla on every count, nightly television shouting matches and gold gain of another sort.
83. China everywhere, India nowhere. Point to remember when vaunting Vishvaguru status. #ParisOlympics2024
84. Let us be hopeful, not hopefool. #ParisOlympics2024
85. Comedy in commerce maketh not a nation, seriousness of attitude maketh it.
86. We are being made to focus periodically on crass commercial ads on TV and are being forcibly distracted from the sporting events.
87. India through to the quarter finals in team table tennis. Monika Batra shines. #ParisOlympics2024
88. My purity is my penance. My purity is my prayer. My purity is my love.
89. Difficult to freely communicate. It is the trend in this asphyxiating environment of high controls and low freedoms. People need greater freedom of expression, better maturity to accept criticism and a modicum of individual right to private space that may not be violated or infringed upon citing legalised relations. The best circumstance for the free play of culture and civilisation is true and genuine circumstantial freedom. That allows the growth of the individual, the flourishing of society and the onward and upward movement of the soul.
90. হালকা জাতি ভারী ভাল প্রদর্শন করতে পারেনা | তার জন্য জাতিগত গাম্ভীর্য প্রয়োজন |
91. Hindus being targeted in 'tolerant' Bangladesh as post-Hasina the famed 'religious harmony' of Bangladesh prevails. Our toothless administration watches with periodic 'sincere' comments on the prevailing situation.
92. Bangladesh by its persecution of Hindus showing how secular it is as a nation with Islam as its state religion. Hakim's medicine?
93. Vinesh Phogat the silver lining in India's monsoon clouds. Will the golden beams stream through?
94. Humbled in gold quest, will hockey hopefuls bring bronze?
95. যত উত্তেজনা, তত হার | শান্ত রহ, ভারতবাসী | চঞ্চল বায়ু দৌর্বল্যের লক্ষণ | স্থির হও, শক্তিমান হও |
96. Hero হলে হবে না, আবার super hero | বলি, অত্যুক্তির দ্বারা কি অতিরিক্ত পদক আসবে, নাকি এ পরাজিতের প্রলাপবাক্য ?
97. Unscientific nation fails again. Vinesh Phogat disqualified from Olympic finals for being 100g overweight. Golden dreams dashed. #ParisOlympics2024
98. Lakshya Sen bled to loss in the bronze medal play-off. Now Vinesh Phogat found 100g too heavy to be disqualified from finals. What sort of support staff do we provide for our stars? #ParisOlympics2024
99. দুর্বল স্নায়ুর লক্ষণ অহেতুক উত্তেজনা | জাতিয় স্নায়বিক দৌর্বল্য television চালালেই বোঝা যায় |
বাণিজ্যে যেনতেনপ্রকারেণ লাভ করা জাতির উত্থানের চিহ্ন নয় | নিজেকে জনসমক্ষে উৎকটভাবে প্রদর্শন অথবা প্রকট করাও জাতিয় উন্নতির লক্ষণ নয় | উৎকর্ষ শিক্ষায়, সংস্কৃতিতে, নিরভিমানতায়, বিনয়ে, নিষ্ঠায়, সততায়, গুণগত উন্নতিতে প্রকাশ্য হওয়া শ্রেয় | যা চলেছে, যা চলছে, তা ভারতীয় সনাতন সংস্কৃতির বিপরীত বৃত্তি | তাই এই জাতিগত অধঃপতন, বিশেষতঃ, তথাকথিত শিক্ষিত সমাজে |
স্বামীজীর 'স্বদেশ মন্ত্র'টি আর একবার পড়ে নিলে সম্বিৎ ফিরলেও ফিরতে পারে কারো কারো | বাকি সব অপসংস্কৃতির অন্ধকারে তলিয়ে যাবে কিছুকাল আরও, যতদিন না এ জাতি তার মূঢ়তার পরিচয় সম্যকভাবে উপলব্ধি করবে অবনমনের চূড়ান্ত দুর্দিনে |

THE ALARM BELL RINGS
THE ALARM BELL RINGS
Tribalism is driving a specific religion and causing untold human misery. This inertial baggage of medieval times has no place in modern society. And yet it is spreading fast across the globe with the civilised world bearing scant answers to its pernicious proliferation. Worst of all, utopian leftists are exacerbating matters by supporting this cancerous growth that at no distant date will turn back on its protagonists and impose its unilateral reign, the sovereignty of its God. A great civilisational conflict is in the offing which to avert this creed has to be studied to understand its origin, doctrine, motivation and aspired end. Thereafter, effective measures may be adopted en masse which in the current scenario of mass ignorance about the same simply will not happen. Knowledge is power, as the old adage goes, and it is this growing awareness about the toxic tenets of this creed that will help humanity avert a great disaster, nay, a terrible tragedy.

THE DEATH OF WEST BENGAL ... 1
THE DEATH OF WEST BENGAL ... 1
West Bengal was created in 1947 by the extreme exertions of Dr. Syamaprasad Mookerjee to safeguard Hindu interests when Islamic jihadists were murdering Hindus with impunity to secure Pakistan. But Bengali Hindu apathy thereafter to their own welfare, despicable cowardice and lack of awareness about Islamic civilisational intentions have put paid to such hopes. West Bengal is getting rapidly Islamised with open appeasement of Muslims by the ruling dispensation---of which the latest observations of prominent provincial politicians is proof enough---and by rapid demographic change which in the course of the next few decades will render her into a Muslim-majority state, prompting fissiparous forces to demand cessation from the Union of India, creating another Kashmir. How long will Bengali Hindus sleep to this Islamic danger, now knocking on the doors of our Sanatan civilisation here yet again?
Michael Madhusudan Dutt had in his poem 'King Porus---a Legend of Old' penned the following lines regarding the Greek invasion of India under Alexander:
['Came as the tiger, noiseless slow
Like fiery passion's headlong flow.']
How aptly he had described the general civilisation danger from invasion, here in a specific instance!
One such instance is upon us yet again. From within the polity, the polity is being subverted in quite the manner British historian Will Durrant had forewarned in his magnum opus, 'The Story of Civilisation'. The quotation runs thus:
[WILL DURANT ON INDIA
In his 'The Story of Civilisation' Will Durant wrote, 'The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within.'
More than twenty years after his death a quote from Will Durant read, 'A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.']
How Hindus will respond to the challenge will determine their destiny. As of now, the rest of the world, especially Europe, is facing a like challenge and is responding, each in its characteristic manner---somewhere with suicidal political correctness, elsewhere with aggressive push-back. How the meek, the cowardly, the capitulating Bengali Hindu with his pious pretensions and pompous political posturing full of hollow sloganeering that lacks in daring and initiative, will respond, remains to be seen. As of now it is a dismal scene of sense-gratification, self-serving and servitude that is visible. Hope there are subterranean currents of resistance building up that will ward off this looming threat. One can only hope, no more, in this regard and individually inspire others to collectively take up cudgels for the cause.
'Vande Mataram!'---so long as the chant is allowed, for at no distant date this adoration of the motherland will have been banned and replaced by the loud reverberation of 'The One God, the Great'.
West Bengal is dying at demonic hands.

FAMILIAR FACES FLITTING BY---MY DEWDROP OF DAWN
FAMILIAR FACES FLITTING BY---MY DEWDROP OF DAWN
Like Bordeaux wine
I am fresh and fine.
The night passed well
In dream did I dine.
Lovely lights, lovelier sights,
What ecstasy, what love
Did pierce me to shine
My dewdrop of dawn
In me, in mine.
Composed by Sugata Bose on waking up from dream at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday, 23 July, 2024, three days prior to the Paris Olympics, 2024 to be inaugurated on Friday, 26 July. The reference was to Bordeaux wine seen the previous evening on France 24 television channel, but the dream was a recurring theme in beauty that has been there for long, this time in delightful dresses in delightful hues of a dear one.

THE DESCENT OF THE DIVINE ... 1
THE DESCENT OF THE DIVINE ... 1
Ramakrishna-Vivekananda have a challenge at hand. What has thus far remained titular organisational principle of religious harmony must find validation in the real world at large that is increasingly getting fractured along sectarian lines. The future of humanity is at stake and mere preaching platitudes from the pulpit will not serve the purpose but will be deemed inconsequential, pretentious, passive piety.
The old organisation is becoming redundant by the day with its increasing compromise with the ways of the world, and a fiery new order needs to surface from this abyss of misguided humanity. Ramakrishna had promised a return to earth in a hundred years' time, by alternative account two hundred years. Vivekananda had corroborated the same. Witnessing the human condition today with man in his ignorance plotting to end all terrestrial life, with religious and political strife sealing the fate of humankind, it seems the opportune hour for the Divine to descend to save humanity from self-annihilation.
Many of the existing order are living in denial of the state of things and are either unconcerned, with their above-the world spiritual aloofness, or are pinning the superstitious hope of a great growth of the existing order to usher in a new world order of things. But saner minds are less hopeful and are ardently hoping for a regeneration of humanity from a fresher descent of the Divine, which hope as well may be deemed superstitious by the rationally inclined. But history bears testimony to such grand arrivals of an army of the Spirit from within the womb of humanity which later assumes divine ascriptions by the devout, and to such an arrival is the author's pinned hope, in the fulfilment of the promise of the peerless Paramahamsa of Dakshineshwar. And if the auspicious hour has not arrived, then what dangers are we to be led to by our own hands before the rescue mission arrives. A simple question props up---if not now, then when?

THINK TWICE BEFORE PASSING JUDGEMENT ON THOSE THAT WORK TIRELESSLY FOR THE MOTHERLAND'S CIVILISATIONAL DEFENCE
Instead of carelessly or deliberately criticising or questioning me for exposing unpalatable truths pertaining to fanatical faiths, have the sincerity to read their source books and come to reason. Then exhibit the courage to combat such corrosive ideologies and raise awareness of the innocent public. Do not in your ignorance of the basic tenets of these fanatical faiths proceed to present your puerile propositions or advance your thoughtless criticism or insincerely seek solutions to the pertinent problems when in your heart of hearts you full well know that you care a fig for these contentious social issues confronting us today whose poisonous progeny will render sterile our Sanatan civilisation in the decades ahead. Bear a deal of decency in your observations towards writers who spend their sleepless nights and days struggling to awake sleeping souls to their civilisational dangers. I rest my case here hoping that the rest your sanity will illumine and lead you through the labyrinth of life in a more civil and courteous way. May Mother bless our motherland which is in a perilous state yet again thanks to the casualness, carelessness and the sheer cowardice of the bulk of her educated citizenry, even betrayal by a critically large number of them! 🕉

THE GOSPEL OF LIFE
THE GOSPEL OF LIFE
1. Never bear ill-feeling towards others for all are one. Temporary reactions may be but they must not become settled attitudes of antipathy.
2. Veneration for learning will promote progress.
3. Know you that you are your best friend and worst enemy?
4. Is there a country where you are not?
5. The pulse of the people is the life of the nation.
6. We have to go beyond the syndrome of action and reaction before we may do fruitful work for progress.
7. Suppress your inmost feelings. Make them not public. This will deepen emotion, build character and give you the sense of individuality you secretly seek.
8. To beat time is to be free.
9. Righteousness is religiosity. It is dictated by ethical considerations. Spirituality lies beyond. To attain to sameness is its essence. When the incongruities have been levelled in abstaining from intellectual partitioning of ideas in order to comprehend, harmony in sameness dwells and the mind dissolves in unitary consciousness which is scarce one but transcends numeral descriptions.
10. Help the needy but within your means lest you be bound to want yourself and to attachment undue.
11. There are states of godhead as there are states of mental and spiritual understanding. In the anthropomorphic sense the Avatar is our highest comprehension of divinity in the phenomenal sense. The imaginary Almighty God is lower.
12. Serve God before day darkens into dense night and all is an icy chill. Now's the sunshine-hour.
13.

TO THE UNFORTUNATE ONES WHO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THEIR INDOCTRINATING MASTERS AND IN TURN INFLICT INJURY ON THE INNOCENT INFIDELS
Life is brief but precious. Then why this obsession with death, the desire for martyrdom? Existence here can itself be Paradise. Why crave for it hereafter when there is no surety for it? And what if it be there as well? Why squander life for it? Why give in to uninhibited carnal appetite, stretching it from earth to heaven? And what avails you to kill the innocent just because your Holy Book deems them to be infidels? Forget modernity, is this even sanity? Is evil rewarded by a merciful God? If so, renounce such religion and allow your intrinsic humanity to flow. Love, life and God are synonymous, not hate, death and the Devil masquerading as the Divine. Begin today. Stop dying and start living. Paradise, if it be there, may wait for you but humanity that will ensure it, certainly cannot.

ISLAM IS NOT A 'RELIGION OF PEACE'
ISLAM IS NOT A 'RELIGION OF PEACE'
Muslims claim that Islam is a 'religion of peace'. Let them openly say then like Hindus do that all religions are valid paths to God, for to claim that Islam is the only perfect path to God and the very last religion to be revealed is itself a very unpeaceful attitude that Islam bears upon both the 'kaffirs' (infidels) and the momins (believers). Exclusiveness to such a degree is the seed of violence as is aggressive proselytism by persuasion or by the sword. The Islamic scriptural trilogy copiously contains violent verses which give the lie to the persistent claim of Muslim clerics that Islam is a religion of peace.
The Islamic history of conquest, oppression and conversion dating right back to its inception and proceeding thereon till date does not make it a close cousin of that supremely peaceful religion that goes by the name of Jainism, a point to be noted. The very foundational texts of Islam are supremacist in their bearing and call for subjugation of non-Muslims till they are persuaded or coerced into conversion whereupon peaceful submission to the one and only true God may follow, other gods being in the eyes of Islam false after all for they are deemed heretical partners to the one true God of Islam. These doctrines cannot possibly allow Islam to be peaceful where the polytheists who are deemed the worst of infidels are either to convert or suffer death followed by damnation in Hell where their burning bodies will provide fuel for the infernal fire, a fire which is the recurring theme of almost every other Qur'anic verse. Thus, Islam surely is not a religion of peace beyond what semantics deems it to be.

RETURN TO ROOTS, RETURN TO RAMAKRISHNA
RETURN TO ROOTS, RETURN TO RAMAKRISHNA
Swamiji's words are great but in activating them unto social welfare we must not compromise ourselves to money as is the wont these days. The message was delivered by the Master and the method shown, and we must not stray a bit from the original course. We must never assume that the peerless Paramahamsa and his peerless protégé were not wise enough to see through the tide of times and make room for adjustments thereof which we now need to make by diluting their delivered message to our monetary convenience, nay, even worse, to a corruption far more lethal for long-term organisational sustenance, the brazen greed for gold which the Master so abjured and exhorted his disciples to do likewise. That things have changed thereafter and are changing rapidly for the worse, that ideals are being shamelessly compromised, to a multitude of foolish followers lending support for the same that will eventually seal the fate of the Order, is a matter serious enough for us, lay devotees, to alter our stance and build our lives in the original mould of the Master without seeking amended modes offered otherwise to move things along, so that we may resist the decline of the dispensation. Upon our personal honesty and integrity lies the future fate of the Master's Mission which draws strength and succour from us to carry its course along.
Resist greed and thwart pecuniary pursuits by renunciates whose primary purpose ought to be propagation of their preceptor's principles rather than pursuing gold-gains to fulfil high-sounding welfare aims, noble no doubt when executed in a scrupulous manner in line with primary principles, not so when done otherwise. What is required is renunciation and scrupulous adherence to the Master's message and his Apostle's directives for the spiritual regeneration of the world which mission has been forsaken for the contemptible course of architectural expansion.
Return to roots and salvage the situation. The Avatar did not descend to earth for such puerile pursuits as his followers have reduced him to being the apparent inspiration of. We may be lay devotees but we are devotees nonetheless. Upon us lies as much the responsibility for steering the course of the Master's movement as it does with the monks. 🕉

WHAT WE MUST DO
WHAT WE MUST DO
The West has destroyed a lot of world civilisation, robbed the world's resources to build its civilisation. But a golden material civilisation it has built for sure despite all its destructive defects.
Merely shouting Hindu superiority or blaming the colonists for every evil that besets us today will be of no avail. The world will move on and we have to move with it as did our ancestors who exceeded limits and extended their civilisational horizons by beating time and spreading the seeds of civilisation around. Instead of venting infertile feelings of injury and injustice meted out to us, we should rebuild our motherland following the blue print laid down by the Rishis of antiquity and modernity both. We must stand peerless in the comity of nations in every sphere of national endeavour before we lay claim, if at all, of being Vishvaguru and all such puerile propositions. Vande Mataram!

IT IS INTELLECTUAL INDEED!
IT IS INTELLECTUAL INDEED!
Western intellectuals are content to rationalise on religion, some submitting to its tenets and vociferously vouching for it through tortuous methods of the mind, others rejecting the same, citing the sheer lack of empirical evidence to support the claims of religion, while so few in a genuine search for Truth attempt to go to its foundation which lies in spiritual experience. It is words all the way from the podium, the pulpit, the platform that hide the Word even as they pretend to express it in tangible terms, but the depth does not show its face amidst such verbal violence, such arrogance of the spirit that arrogates to itself exclusive possession of the Truth and negation of all else that it deems culturally alien. But Truth laughs at such supremacist supposition and goes its way while pretenders to it keep at their verbal disputations to no satisfactory end. Eventually it is cultural supremacy that is sought in the garb of religion and no honest pursuit of it for the sake of arriving at Truth. The same old suppositions of Christ being crucified to redeem humanity of its supposed Original Sin being transmitted through generations right from its apple-eating inception in Eden, being attempted to be imposed on the world for whatever purpose Christian proselytism stands for with all its assumptions of heathen ignorance and the saving grace of Christ alone that can rescue them from perdition. It is intellectual indeed!

THE NOCTURNAL DANCE
THE NOCTURNAL DANCE
There has never been a day but a long long night in space where dust is not but for stars that shine and send their radiant darts to light up rotating bodies that block them. All things lit up are those that have impeded the passage of light. And as they rotate following their spatial curves, their timely tides of advancing and receding light alternate experience of day and night. A nocturnal journey is on through cosmic space-time where the space-ships are lit up by their stellar patrons in a rotating dance of shifting bands. Verily, verily, Kepler's music of the spheres is on, and much more, the waltzing couples are adding flavour. Mozart, thou truly art in the high heavens!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF YET AGAIN
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF YET AGAIN
Our spiritual organisations must remember that like the medieval Catholic Church that indulged in indulgences to raise ill-begotten money, they are also, in a far lesser degree though, going astray, steadily moving away from the scrupulous path trodden by and upheld as spiritual ideal by Sri Ramakrishna, here pertinently regarding money. After all, the wise must learn their lessons from history unless, of course, the rot has so set in that a return to original principles seems to the powers that be the foolishness of the unpractical idealist. Such rationalisation, though, will further the decay unto the Order being rendered spiritually redundant in the not so long a run. After all, covert commerce is not saintliness and this the people understand.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 78
MESSAGES GALORE ... 78
MESSAGES GALORE ... 78
1. Love seeks the beautiful.
2. Peace must be for art to endure.
3. Of what avail is ideology if it teaches you to kill?
4. Religious submission somehow stifles rational thinking and opens the gateway to brainwashing, for it lays a precondition on all such endeavour---faith, the nemesis of it all.
5. Jesus is not unique. Many a Hindu Avatar and sage have been spiritually greater than him, Ramakrishna being the latest among them.
6. সৌন্দর্যের মূল উপাদান ব্রহ্মচর্য | অখণ্ড পবিত্রতায় দিব্য সৌন্দর্য বিকশিত হয় | চিত্তের মালিন্যে রূপ আবৃত হয়ে পড়ে |
7. Words of wisdom are words of peace. Justice cannot be with the sword.
8. Karma will recoil. There is no escape save in building up the defences of freedom. The living-free has transcended Karma.
9. A rich man qualifies himself by his wealth. And that is his poverty, the poverty of the spirit.
10. 
Right now we are in the psychophysical age with all its disharmonies and conflicts. Next will come the spiritual age when all is peace and harmony. But that is quite a distance away. The question, though, is: Will man survive to see a better day?
Photo: The poet's hope, the physicist's worry.
11. Through a thousand pores of the poor the coffers of the rich fill.
12. When death governs a cult and apocalypse is aspired for, the world becomes a dangerous place in these days of possible nuclear doom.
13. The Government ought to establish universities in the name of Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Brahma Gupta and other Indian geniuses.
14. The Guru displeased, Truth recedes.
7
15. Miracles do not prove saintliness. Why then is it incumbent upon Christians---besides fulfilling other necessary criteria such as holiness, having mystical visions, charity, poverty, obedience---to at least perform two miracles to qualify for sainthood?
16. 14 July, 1789. Bastille Day. The Revolution breaks out. France undergoing cataclysmic change. The Bourbons about to be uprooted.
17.
Endless is the wait,
Endless the toil.
If life be of no purpose,
Why the seed? why the soil?
18.
Is there a stir that beckons a new moon?
Are the rumblings of a new revolution?
Will the sun shine where the desert moon has set?
19. Appropriating the prophets of other religions as your own and ingesting their message with adjustments and alterations suited to the purpose is a clever way of founding a faith and initiating the proselytising process.
20. Tricking the gullible with cleverly crafted arguments that hide toxic truths about your faith and converting them is patently evil.
21. Strange allegiance people have to scripture by forsaking reason which is the best guide to avoiding crude errors of belief!
22.
নয়ননন্দিনী,
হৃদয়বন্দিনী,
প্রাণস্পন্দিনী ||
নয়ননন্দন,
যশবন্দন,
হৃদয়স্পন্দন ||
23. As yet Vivekananda throbs in my veins.
অদ্যাবধি বিবেকানন্দ স্পন্দিত ধমনীতে |
24. May the mind be dust-free even as the body is dirt-free!
25. Christian dogmatism is no less entrenched than Islamic dogmatism. The two faiths are in a titanic struggle of 1400 years for supremacy.
26. We should not unduly speak in high treble. That is a sure sign of effeminacy. Our voice-throw must be moderate, musical and modest.
27. The Jews never forget the torment their ancestors endured. How can Hindus so easily forget theirs? Read your history.
28. When a bigot asks someone to be open-minded about his bigotry, that is the height of it. Aye, that is the depth of it too.
29. Christian ignorance about Vedantic universalism is truly astounding. We need to send capable preachers, not charlatans, across the world far more. Swamiji desired so.
30. We have so much to give to the world. Oblivious of our Hindu heritage, how niggardly in effect have we been in a world tormented by spiritual ignorance. What as Buddhists we had once done, as Vedantists we must once more do. And Vedanta here means the gamut of Hindu spiritual experience and philosophy, not just its crest jewel that is Shankara's Advaita Vedanta.
31. Read what I write and add on value to it through your considered observations along lines pertinent to the posts. Do not insult my thoughts with casual praises of the Lord, made manifest in the appended photographs, with stereotypical chants raised in an unthinking manner as if in inertial reflex mode. The world needs deep thinkers, not superficial commenters. Do you not remember what Swamiji said to Nivedita? "Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you yet sleep?"
32. Such stupendous silence is stifling.
33. When responses come 1 : 100, then it is known that the seeds of separation have been sown, soon to bear their toxic fruit.
34. হৃদয়েশ | [coined the word.]
35. Science! Science! Science is the call of the hour. That is the way to national progress. Neglect it and you plunge into the dark.
36. One can understand why Ahmadiyyas are persecuted in Pakistan. But why the Shias when Muhammad Ali Jinnah himself was a Shia?
37. India can develop if we participate in its development. It is the citizens that transform a nation.
38. Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khilji took Islamic intolerance to new heights as he destroyed the world's first university, Nalanda.
39.
NALANDA
Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khilji took Islamic intolerance to new heights as he destroyed the world's first university, Nalanda.
9 million books, handwritten and palm leaf manuscripts, perished to the flames as Nalanda's library was burnt down over 90 days.
Professors and pupils were slaughtered alike as Bakhtiyar Khilji spared no means to obliterate Buddhism and establish Islam.
When Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge were in the womb of unborn time, Nalanda flourished, only to brought down by Islamic onslaught.
And now Nalanda has reopened. But the old one is gone, never to return. Heritage once lost is never regained. Were it otherwise!
Hiuen Tsang studied in Nalanda and taught here. He not only carried manuscripts with him to China but Buddhism with it.
Nalanda may have died for good, burnt by barbarians, but its life throbs across Asia in the pulsating currents of civilisation.
40. Ideas shape civilisation.
41. Since 9/11 the West has woken up to an understanding of Islamic texts. We, however, are asleep despite 1300 years of sufferance.
42. The problem with both Islam and Christianity is that they are both inherently exclusive and intolerant of all other faiths.
43. We have been orphaned after Christopher Hitchens has left. Now Douglas Murray has taken up cudgels for the cause but not quite, for Murray, despite his trenchant opposition to Islamic fundamentalism, is not quite of the intellectual order of Hitchens who remains simply a class apart.
44. I heard the reformist Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Romain speak the language of Ramakrishna that all religions are valid paths to God.
[https://youtu.be/yfbkTnKi3Cc?si=ugVh7xCr28HfU3uK]
45. What a cursed life it is to be born super-rich when to maintain it you have to hobnob with politicians of questionable character!
46. RRRCCC [Rapid Reading Reliability with Clarity of Conception through Concentration]. Also known as R3C3. [Coined the stuff.]
47. I am not a body. My form floats above me, separate save in umbilical vision, sundered, yet, lingering.
48. Jihad is at the very heart of Islam, the expansionist thrust through warfare at every level till the world is Dar-ul-lslam.
49. Mere money-chasing is weakening the Hindus. This excessive Vaishyahood is weakening our civilisational defence.
50. Generations later when history will be duly chronicled, the Anglo-Americans will be shown their rightful place for their perpetration of mass violence on humanity. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Vietnam, China, India, the Middle East, Latin America, the Pacific Islands, Phillipines, Africa---how many more must be named?---will seek justice from the long arm of Karma.
51. The greater the concentration, the deeper the knowledge.
52. Plans, plans and plans! No end to it. When will the hour to execute a single plan come? When the hour has run out?
53. Christ said, "Love thy neighbour as thyself." Christians understood, "Convert thy neighbour to thy creed."
54. Does love mean anything beyond self-interest? Where self-interest ends, love begins.
55. Mass stupidity on Facebook prompts me to quit posting there anything. X seems a better option. Let's see what results from the change. Or, are men universally fools? Is that the reason why there's such an online rush where angels fear to tread by breaking divine injunction? Culture at its nadir now.
56. If great men compromise, small fools will follow suit.
57. Truth is sacrificed at the scaffold of convenience. Thus, evil, though detected early, is allowed to proliferate till it has established its hegemony that is impossible to dislodge.
58. A corrosive culture must not be pandered to under any pretext. If allowed to proliferate, it will in a trice ruin civilisation that has been built over ages.
59. Do not fear the Day of Judgement. No such thing ever will be. Your karma is continually resolving unto your eventual freedom. No heaven or hell can bind you. You are the Lord of all you manifest. But be moral. Hurt not others, for that is the greatest sin.
60. Islam is all assertion, no proof.
61. The mind cannot but assign partners to God, for the mind by its very nature partitions forms and ideas, and this carries on to its conception of God as well. Monotheism is merely a statement, no more. The monotheist is in practice a polytheist as there is no escape from it in the mental plane of plurality. Where the mind dissolves in samadhi (transcendence of space-time), there the Void or the Whole reveals its figurative face. The Void or the Whole is not One but is the nullity which is the resolution of multitudinous phenomena, the positives and the negatives annihilating each other to reveal the Void or the Whole. 🕉
62. Do you know it is necessary to honour a teacher, far more, revere a Guru without looking to pecuniary considerations? Alas, India has forgotten this ancient lesson and sunk to abysmal depths of ignorance!
63. It is easy to say, ''I revere someone as God,'' difficult to actualise it in one's daily deeds and interaction.
64. Free am I save in real bonds of love and light and of a life beyond that immerses itself in earthy earth while transcending the bounds of heaven.
65. How grim is the demographic situation in Assam?
66. Ultimately demography determines destiny, for who can resist the collective might of toxicity, reinforced ritually by what passes as prayer?
67. Southern India was less impaired by Islamic conquest which is why it as yet leads the rest of India in culture, science and the arts.
68. All religions ought to heartily accept critical scrutiny. If any religion refuses, it will be open admission of its falsity.
69. যারা অর্থকে জীবনের পরমার্থ জ্ঞান করেছে, তাদের জীবন বৃথা |
70. ছবির প্রতি অতি আনুগত্য জড়বুদ্ধির পরিচায়ক | চিন্তাশীল ব্যক্তিরা ভাবগ্রহণে অধিক যত্নবান হন, স্থূল রূপে তত নন | তথ্যের থেকে তাই তত্ত্ব বড় |
71. মহাশূণ্যকে কি প্রহার করা যায় ? সূক্ষ্ম---সে তো স্থূলের ঊর্ধ্বে, ধরাছোঁয়ার বাইরে | মারবে কি দিয়ে ?
72. যিনি ক্ষমাশীল, যিনি সর্বংসহ, তিনি মহাপুরুষ | তাঁর প্রেমের অন্ত নেই | এমনই এক অচিন পাখি শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ যাঁর ইয়ত্তা করা যায় না |
73. Demographic change is once more exposing the inherent weakness of democracy as people hell-bent on annihilating democracy are doing so by using democratic privileges to the hilt. Europe is being rapidly Islamised as immigration is upsetting the demographic balance. Game up?
74. Man labours but for love, love which is the unifying seed of wisdom.
75. যখন মানুষ সুন্দরকে সুন্দরের জন্যই ভালবাসে, স্থূল স্বার্থের জন্য নয়, তখনই তাকে ভক্তি বলে |
76. Is the 'democratic' left democratic and the 'fascist' right fascist? Or, is it a leftist narrative of convenience till power be seized?
77. One day I will melt into thin air.
78. Few, alas, few recognise genius in time, although all in due course reap the benefits of it.
79.
2 + 2 = 4
Can you reform this truth?
The same goes with Islam, the 'perfect' faith on earth. Being perfect, it cannot be reformed.
80. দেবদেবীর পূজা খুব হল কিন্তু মানুষকে প্রতিনিয়ত করা হল অপমান | তবে পণ্ড হল পূজা, বৃথা সর্ব আড়ম্বর |
81. The polluted mind cannot love with gay abandon. The mind freed of earthly dross becomes the instrument fit to feel love.
82. অক্ষর ব্রহ্ম কি নামেই ব্রহ্ম ? কদাপি নয় | সব শব্দে আবৃত, মায়ার আবরণ | তথ্যে তত্ত্ব ঢাকা | মূল সত্য তো শব্দাতীত |
83. একটি ধর্ম মানার মত ধর্ম--তার নাম প্রেম |
84.
The light of love is the light of day.
From atom to cosmos is its sway.
85. 
The compassionate one who descended to earth to raise us to the highest heaven of freedom and light. My prostration on this blessed day at the lotus feet of the divine one. Bless erring humanity, Gurudev, and lead us onto the royal road that heads straight to the room there as yet awaits the peerless Paramahamsa to receive us with open arms. Shubha Gurupurnima to all!
86. I have been a useless Guru if I have not been able to help root out the egotistic impulse from the hearts and minds of my disciples.
87. তমোগুণের আধিক্য সমাজে, নিশ্চেতনের প্রাবল্য | গুরু কি করবেন ?
88. The first requisite for spiritual living is discipline of time. A casual attitude to time-keeping violates the spiritual norm.
89. Worldliness is killing spirituality. Ritual observances are fine but they lack solidity in the face of this hankering after desires.
90. 
আমি বড় নই, আমি ছোট নই, আমি সকলের সমান | এর নাম সাম্যবোধ | এটি অন্তরঙ্গ | আর এক আছে বহিরঙ্গ---সাম্যবাদ | কিন্তু বোধ ব্যতীত কি বাদ দাঁড়ায় ? দাঁড়ায় না | তাই এত হত্যা, এত হিংসা সাম্যবাদের নামে |
আলোকচিত্র : বীরেন্দ্রনাথ চট্যোপাধ্যায় যিনি কমিউনিস্ট ছিলেন ও কমিউনিস্টদের হাতেই ১৯৩৭ সালে সোভিয়েত রাশিয়ায় হত হন |
91. সব সমস্যা জগতে | সব সমাধান ঠাকুরে |
92. Europe is getting sadly Islamised. There will be a great decline in European culture in consequence. This is the bitter truth.
93.
Life's a thorn.
Blessed be the morn.
94. Society is another name for mutual help. Where hindrance occurs, barbarism reigns. We have to combat such an emerging barbaric situation across the world as cultural clashes take place in an evolving global order, seeds sown in medieval times, now gaining a 'fresher' fruition along festering lines. Out of this will emerge the integrated global order. Or, will it?
95. I am who I am.
96. Kāleshvari destroys only to renew.
97. There is a great churn going on in the world. A modern society is evolving out of medieval ashes.
98. If the Almighty God is the creator of the universe but He is Himself uncreated, then it may logically follow that the universe itself is uncreated and needs no Creator to bring it into existence. 'Anādi srishty, ananta srishty' (Beginningless creation, endless creation). Here the Sanatan Dharma uses the term 'manifestation' instead of 'creation'. Carl Sagan has beautifully explained this idea in the following most thought-provoking and unconventional video presentation by a scientist, here an astrophysicist.
https://youtu.be/Ugyrzr5Ds8o?si=wJNlKLixJfq_xUkF
99. Evil doctrine breeds evil-doers.
100. Muslims should read the Qur'an themselves and rationalise without allowing clerical intervention to inhibit judgement.
