Sugata Bose @Sulekha Basu : Please write on Swamiji regularly to kindle consciousness among sleeping humanity.

Sugata Bose @Hirak Mookherjee : You write beautifully. So succinct, so clear, so direct and rationally sound.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : Won't remain anymore. Hindu population is declining rapidly while Muslim population proliferates. Yhis is on account of fast declining birthrate of the Hindus. Thus far high birthrate over centuries across the vast motherland kept Hindu numbers up and among ither reasons thwarted Islamic expansion to critical bounds whereby Hindus would be completely overcome in numerical terms. Thus far but no more. Demographic changes are taking place which should within a century make India a Muslim-majority country unless, as I have prophesied, Hindus wake up to thwart the Islamic advance which Hindu-revival I see coming. But the demographic danger looms large and we must wake up to it. A 24% Muslim population with Brutush help and Congress ineptness partitioned India. It can happen again and, worse still, thus time it may not be partition after all but a total overhauling of the Indian state machinery with the introduction of the Sharia. You may say I am having wild imaginings but let me remind you that so did Hindus as late as 1937 poohpooh the so-to-say puerile proposition of a separate homeland for the Muslims as originally proposed by Saeed Ahmed Khan and later latched on to by proponents of Pakistan, calling it an impossible proposition. But within ten years of that date a bloody partition of the motherland had taken place mutilating both her western and Eastern arms.

Sugata Bose @Priyadarshi Gupta : I have gathered whatever information from Pew Research Center but cannot retrieve them for you now.

Sugata Bose @Uma Mukhopadhyay : This lawyer lacks in musical sense, has no sense of poetic metre, that is. Shouting hoarse to bad rhythm and puerile rhyme does not make for good sloganeering. Pretentious to the core and compromised to corruption that is rampant in this state of unfortunate but inevitable fate, this sort of a procession makes a mockery of the very idea of social justice that it purportedly demands. Such blatant hypocrisy, though, has become the order of the  day in West Bengal of a glittering past and a horrific present.

Sugata Bose @Unbelievable slovenliness from the son of the Tiger of Maharashtra! [Uddhav Thackeray, son of Balasaheb Thackeray, bowing low before an erect Rahul Gandhi.] 

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Exactly. I write so copiously and, yet, there is such a poor reader response to my posts. Debaprasad Bhattacharya (Dada), you are a notable exception to this rule as you share my posts copiously. But the exception itself proves the general rule. This observation of mine is with respect to a limited aspect of what the scene is in the vaster world as pointed out in the post. 

Swamiji used to say, "Myself last, the world first." But these are messages of the master sage shelved as archival property now, not to be put into practical use. This sort of self-involvement tanramounting to selfishness is opposed to original propositions of a civic society which gregarious man, to make living easy through cooperative endeavour, had once entered into with each other by implicit understanding. However, the baser instincts are more powerful and will only in course of evolution be tamed for the emergence of a more evolved order. Right now we have to contend with this either to our destruction through our own selfishness in criticism but in no rectification of the erroneous order or in due exertion to alter the sad state and raise it to a more desirable level. Upon the resolution of our endeavour and the circumstantial allowance depends our fate. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Arpita Sadhu : Do you realise that I may also be busy with dinner, toilet etc. sometimes or do you think that I am always a telephone operator attending to calls? This sort of understanding and response on your part is highly unbecoming and not called for. Common sense should have made you understand that I was otherwise busy. Thank you for your great devotion thus.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Mojo Story--Barkha Dutt interview of Javed Akhtar] : A Muslim is one who believes in Allah as the Almighty Creator. How then can someone be an atheist and, yet, a Muslim? It is a contradiction in terms and goes against the very Qur'anic definition of a Muslim (refer Surah Al Mominun).

Sugata Bose @Gargi Chattopadhyay : Perfect. I have been long associated [since 1983] intimately with the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission and quite often take to criticising them, to my mind and understanding, duly. An organisation needs criticism for it not to overly stray from original course which in the absence of such criticism in the past and in the case of due criticism brutally suppressed as in the Catholic Church, organisations have gone to ruin with cataclysmic consequences for society. Human beings are gregarious which is why they live in society, and most people are sheep who are led by a shepherd for good or for ill. Devotees who are discerning do not see ill in someone resisting spiritual organisational ills. But those who are mere titular devotees are blind adherents of misguided and misguiding missionaries, and cannot brook criticism even if valid. In their organisational infatuation they confuse its founder for its later trustees of lesser character and credibility, lower ethical and spiritual standards even unto compromising original principles of their prophet-patriot Swami Vivekananda. These latter ones are to be resisted by due criticism and a large sympathetic heart lent out to their fallen ethical standards and their general service in respective order. No one is above criticism, man or monk, sole propertiship or joint stock company, individual attempting philanthropy or large bodies like the Ramakrishna Mission doing seminal service to society, albeit along altered track from the one set out by Swami Vivekananda. And this you have succinctly pointed out which I duly endorse. To recapitulate what Swamiji had said prior to formally founding the Ramakrishna Mission---"To organise or not to organise? If I organise, the spirit will diminish. And if I do not organise, the message will not spread." Again he had observed, "Organisation breeds new evils." Perhaps these overly loyal-to-a-fault 'devotees' are innocent of these cogitations of the great man and are thus easy victims of surface observation, erroneous though they so often are. Jai Ramakrishna! Jai Ma! Jai Swamiji! 🕉

Sugata Bose @Satarupa Choudhury : But we cannot shirk our responsibility thus. We must make our individual effort in comprehending his composite message and creatively apply the same in our bid to address the complex issues the beset us. We cannot be indolent enough to wait for another Vivekananda to come and interpret for us what the original Vivekananda has taught. We must remember what Swamiji had once said, "Wait not for a prophet to come and save you but be a prophet unto others." 🕉

Sugata Bose @Pkc Chowdhuree : USA's entire system is built upon the lifeblood of the rest of the world it has preyed upon. It is the greatest predator nation since World War II.

Sugata Bose @Prabir Chakraborty : 

মজা করে মজা করলেন, 

তাই সত্য বলেই নিলাম | 

এ 'নিলাম' 'নিলাম'ই বটে,

তাই চড়ছে শুধু দাম | 

চৌদিকে তাই দেখছে যে ওই

চোর ডাকাতের কাম | 

এখন এমন ফাঁদে পড়েছে সব 

ছুটছে শুধু ঘাম |

Sugata Bose @Sanjeev Shrivastava : Brilliant contrary disposition as usual.

Sugata Bose @Satyanand Bhattacharjee : But you even at this advanced age are relentlessly educating people in awareness bereft of superstition and false notions, and this after a career of imparting higher education to generations in your academic professional life. My pranām. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Nilanjana Chakraborty : I am sending links. Read religiously. If you have the Complete Works, then read these passages from there. Otherwise, read from the links provided. But read and let me know when you finish. Then I'll give the next set of links. Don't say that you have already read them. It does not matter. Read as told nonetheless and as often as told without questioning. Then will power come into you. Be devoted, be obedient, carry out my instructions to perfection. I expect great things from a real lioness like you.

Sugata Bose @Dulal Sarkar : The problem of democracy is the untoward alteration of demography. Bengal is becoming its victim as is Europe. The situation is dire and will grow worse by the day as further change occurs inevitably shifting refined culture to roguish brutality whose early signs are now in evidence in its reprehensible form. Prepartition days in Bengal are being revisited and unless Hindus awake to the danger looming large, darker days will follow evicting them from their ancestral habitat or keeping them located there in servile subjugation. This has been the fate of India for the last several centuries and the inertial flow continues to this day. The fate of Bengal is sealed unless there is a valorous response from Hindus en masse putting pretence and posturing aside and facing perfidy square on which is the sine qua non of the hour. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Pampa Jana Biswas : We have to fight the system staying here unless of course professional work beckons us elsewhere. Expose your children to the literature of Swami Vivekananda and bring them up as valorous soldiers of the Spirit who can face the brute square on and vanquish it. All my good wishes and blessings for your children. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Soma Das :Because AITMC is the most 'peaceful' party which has not yet managed to become a national party in its electoral reach despite its pompous All India prefix. Of course, this is so because it is a very 'peaceful' party and cannot quite do the rampage as witnessed in R.G.Kar Hospital on the very same night as the women's protest when 7,000 'opposition' goons supposedly vandalised the beautiful hospital so 'beautified' earlier by the dastardly act of the as yet unapprehended real culprits whose death by the noose the CM so desperately wants. So, you see, this is the rationale behind all the mishaps in the rest of India---the absence of 'peaceful' TMC.

Sugata Bose @Saiful Islam : Your country was always like that. It was carved out of India by a perfidious perpetration of dastardly violence, veritably a genocide of the Hindus. Remember the Great Calcutta Killing of 16 August, 1946 in which your nation's founder, Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman, was the associate and assistant to the mastermind, the then Chief Minister of the Bengal Presidency, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy. Thereafter Noakhali followed accompanied by brutality against Hindus across East Bengal. 

Islam scripturally mandates violence against the kafir which is what your forefathers did unto ours. So, stop pretending that your country was all peaceful and harmonic towards non-Muslims and own up to the truth that what your founder and his All India Muslim League had in pre-Partition days started is now gaining fulfilment in the ongoing and prospective total Islamisation of Bangladesh. Stop it if you are sincere about humanity but do so at your peril for you will have to face the ire of Islamic fundamentalists who are legion in your country on account of Qur'anic injunctions. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : The individual matters, and each one is free to carry out his spiritual evolution to regain this equilibrium in due course. So far as cosmic evolution goes, it follows the invariable principles of Nature. Again, so far as collective human evolution goes, the probabilities play their due roles at the surface but beneath it all there is this evolutionary drive that impels it forward along perhaps tortuous lines which our faint myopic vision can scarce behold or decipher with understanding but it goes on nonetheless. There is an impersonal principle working behind personality which may be named the Divine Will which carries on this evolutionary play along incomprehensible lines. But the balance is ever being sought by disbalanced Nature in its every phase, the disturbed equilibrium of the origin ever attempting to regain its lost status along the manifested axes in their return path to source shunya (void/zero). 🕉

Sugata Bose @Nabanita C Ganguly : View CN news (Bengali channel). It is informative and comprehensively so without being roguishly boisterous for pecuniary ends.

Sugata Bose @Noam Chomsky : But when intellectuals themselves tell lies galore to uphold preferred political dispositions?

Sugata Bose @Samarbijoy Chakraborty :  Vivekananda is the way. The study of Vivekananda and the real practice of his principles, not remaining titular Ramakrishnaites with a plethora of apolitical pretension while subscribing to every bit of pecuniary practice that Ramakrishna has forbidden. Character which is the bedrock of social integration, that large sympathy built on the awareness of oneself in all, adherence to truth and the original principles of the Master without the slightest compromise to suit the exigencies of the day will surely weld the Hindus into a massive power that will hold them together against all perfidious enemies of this great civilisation of ours. But uncompromising adherence to truth and first principles---that as exemplified by the Apostle of the Avatar of Dakshineshwar---is the way. India must listen to Vivekananda and she will. A hundred thousand souls will have to be sacrificed---to put it the Vivekananda way---for the body politic to rise again from the civilisational nadir it has sunk to. But the intellect of the brāhman and the heart of the Buddhā which has finally found synthetic fulfilment in Sri Rāmakrishna must be way. 🕉---this is the unifying symbol of Hindus of all classes, castes and sects, and this is the clarion call of the Vedas that must ring through the heart of India. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Mani Yogi : Effeminacy in the name of devotion. Will not be enough to either save the Hindus from Abrahamic aggression or from the snares of Maya despite Her delusive pretensions to the contrary.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Post passages which are volcanic rather than philosophical. The need of the hour is resistance to oppression rather than philosophical acquiescence.

Sugata Bose @Shyamacharan Pandey : And when the drop evaporates?

Sugata Bose @Shyamacharan Pandey : Will the ocean also evaporate in time?

Sugata Bose @Sanjeev Shrivastava : Read Swami Vivekananda daily and you will see the wonderful change, that quickening effect that will come, the harbinger of greater things to follow. Try it, my dear friend, as I say and you will testify to the truth of my averment.

Sugata Bose @Tapti Kar : Oversimplistic like the philosophy emanating from the Buddha's mouth with a level difference, something which Swamiji criticised and attributed to Buddha the fault of, which later caused so much confusion in Buddhist ranks leading to splits and diametrically opposite interpretations to what originally obtained amongst early Hinayānis. Oversimplification is in such a sense obfuscation of prime principles to accommodate popularisation of message which is thus a falsification of truth.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : The walk is taking place at any rate though, now only inattentively that is cutting through the feet that hold the body. 'Yoga karma kaushalam' is the key. To me it seems Vivekananda is the way. No wonder the Master had made his epic statement, "Naren will teach the world when he will thunder at home and abroad."

Sugata Bose @Jayanti Rakshit You have misunderstood the post, it seems, and interpreted it as being a pointer to the mass-scale strike of junior doctors which, to your mind, I, perchance, am supposedly against. No, it is not so. The post refers to the general breakdown of administrative machinery in every phase of this ruling dispensation owing to sustained corruption over a protracted period. Hence, the question of my supporting this corruption simply does not arise. From my sustained campaigning against it I hope it has been amply evident that I unequivocally denounce the corruption of the current political order and I need not elaborate or deliberate on it further. If doubt still lingers as to my stance, I can only say, "Men may construe things, after their fashion / Clean from the purpose of the things themselves."
