THE PLIGHT OF OUR SANĀTANI BRETHREN ACROSS THE BORDER IN BANGLADESH---ALL RELIGIONS ARE TRUE?



THE PLIGHT OF OUR SANĀTANI BRETHREN ACROSS THE BORDER IN BANGLADESH---ALL RELIGIONS ARE TRUE?


Bangladesh has become a hell for Hindus to live in. Why does the Ramakrishna Mission not rise up in defence of the Hindus there? Is this protection of the virtuous and the destruction of evil-doers which is the stated aim of the Avatār? If we as devotees of the Ramakrishna Mission can muster courage of conviction to vehemently protest against the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, why can't our parent spiritual organisation do so? What sort of parentage is this? Would Swamiji have been silent thus? Is this the time for song and dance when Sanātanis are being annihilated and gradually wiped out in Bangladesh? Pakistan of 1947 is being enacted afresh in Bangladesh today. Stop this hypocrisy of the harmony of religions when Islam's scriptural declaration is that those who practise 'shirk' (partnering God with other deities which polytheistic Hindus do, according to Islamic understanding) are the worst enemies of Islam and must be either converted to the only true faith, that is Islam, or must be fought and annihilated. Where is the scope for harmony with such a political ideology which is totally inimical to Hinduism and the Hindus? Consider this and stop misleading and weakening the Hindus further with such fanciful interpretation of Islam as you in full knowledge of its doctrines needlessly do.


Let us be proud Hindus without compromising on truth, that is, the fundamental differences of the different faiths. Thakur and Swamiji have seen the innermost depths of phenomena among which even Islam and Christianity belong, and hence have they averred the supposed truth---perhaps their flawed supposition on account of paucity of scriptural knowledge of Islam and insufficient exposure to its fanaticism and perhaps because of their universally expansive heart which embraced all---that all religions lead to the same spiritual goal. But do they? History and scripture speak otherwise and in this regard I hold them as flawed in their real assessment, both in scriptural terms and in practice, unless of course we draw some complex logical justification for their assumptions and averments contrary to experience, like Thakur's successful practice and realisation of the essence of Sufism which is not quite Qur'anic classical Islam of the Prophet Muhammad though but is a fusion of Islam and the Vedānta, and hence not a valid justification as such of his pronouncement regarding Islam. 


I leave it at this in frustration here but I shall carry on the fight, if necessary alone. But I also know that all are neither gullible nor cowards and they are doing their wee bit as well. Together we will do what the Mission, almost in sheer apathy for the failing and the falling Hindus in Bangladesh as elsewhere, fails to do, preferring instead tall talk on the Vedānta and the despicable culture of debilitating song and dance by renunciates among friends and devotees in more peaceful circumstance, oiling already well-oiled heads while our defenceless brethren die in silence like leaves in winter falling off the mother tree one by one till the mother is shorn of them all. Is this what Dharmasangsthāpan is all about?

MESSAGES GALORE ... 116


MESSAGES GALORE ... 116


1. 100,000 slim copies of Vivekananda's works will be distributed free among the youth of West Bengal to awaken consciousness.


2. I have been awake all night, driven by mosquitos to wakeful desperation. Like the nightwatchman they keep guard over precious blood of humans and perhaps wish that the bloodline be kept up for further vampirism.


3. লক্ষ্য এক লক্ষ কপি স্বামীজীর বই বঙ্গ যুবসমাজে বিনামূল্যে বিতরণ যুবজাগরণকল্পে | সর্বসাধারণের সহযোগীতা প্রার্থনীয় |


4. We will spread the message of Swamiji with missionary zeal. Just watch how the magic of his words works.


5. বাংলাদেশ গেছে | পশ্চিমবঙ্গকে যেতে দেব না | বাংলাদেশেও প্রচার চাই | স্বামীজী সর্বত্র প্রাসঙ্গিক, অপরিহার্য |


6. এক ভগবান এখনও জীবিত | তাঁর নাম স্বামীজী |


7. ভারত ঘুমোবে না কারণ বিবেকানন্দ অদ্যাবধি তার অতন্দ্র প্রহরী, ডাক দিয়ে চলেছেন, "ওঠো ! জাগো ! থেমো না যতক্ষণ না লক্ষ্যে পোঁছোচ্ছো |"


8. It is fruitless preaching soft Vedānta to cowards. They must be taught fighting Vedānta, that which will inspire them not to sing and dance as monks do these days but to war on the enemies of the Hindus on all counts. Preach Vedānta with vigour and valouur as real men and not as meek monastics with pronounced effeminacy.


9. The ability to look beyond one's little self is also spirituality.


10. প্রচারে পৌরুষ প্রয়োজন আর প্রতীক্ষা মাহেন্দ্রক্ষণের যখন ভগবান নবকলেবরে অবতরণপূর্বক প্রচারে দখিণা বাতাস বওয়াবেন |


11. কে বোঝে তাঁর দয়া? কিন্তু তাঁর দয়ার অন্ত নেই |


12. Vivekananda was a very complex character, at once intensely human, at once supremely divine, the perfect synthesis of man and God. He would now immerse himself in the perplexing problems of the world and try to discover solutions to them, then soar high to sublime spiritual heights beyond the pale of not only ordinary mortals but of exceptional geniuses as well where he would remain absorbed in transcendent Self-absorption. No wonder Sister Christine was awestruck at the width and depth of her Master's personality and considered herself blessed. 


13. Truthfulness must be adhered to always. That is the fundamental spiritual attribute, one that holds the aspirant together and keeps him/her integrated. Truthfulness gone, the chances of realisation of Truth go with it and life becomes a repeat of endless past futility in cyclical flow of incarnation and reincarnation with their ceaseless worries and woes in spiritual ignorance. Truthfulness, therefore, is of prime importance and the holding virtue of spirituality. 🕉


14. Hindus converted to Islam become more ardent in their new faith and more inimical to their mother faith and its followers. No wonder Swamiji said, "And then every man going out of the Hindu pale is not only a man less, but an enemy the more." 


https://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_5/interviews/on_the_bounds_of_hinduism.htm


Strange psychology, isn't it?---destroy your mother faith which gave you birth. Can a worse betrayal be? And yet it is. It caused Partition, sustained genocide of Hindus by jihādis till date, terrorist acts galore, Hindu exodus from Kashmir et al ad infinitum.


15. Those who do Mother's work, Mother advances their cause. She uses Her chosen children as Her instruments and they never fail.

SHAMEFUL


SHAMEFUL!


There is no necessity to imitate the West. Base imitation of their manners and demeanour as is in vogue is indicative of lack of self-identity. What is this culture of 'Mummy-Papa', this invasion into even our fundamental addresses of parents? Why is it that vast numbers of city-bred men do not know how to wear the dhoti but must buy ready-made elastic-waist ones from the market? What is this 'Hi' culture? Whither 'namaskār'? And worst of all is this superficial frothy culture that characterises business advertisements. There is no glory whatsoever in conscious and unconscious imitation of the West. The West is looking to India for spiritual guidance. And must we on our part fail to provide it and instead exhibit this slavish westernisation that is so uncharacteristic of our race? It is simply distasteful, disgusting deculturisation!

SWAMIJI'S DREAM ... 1


SWAMIJI'S DREAM ... 1


Swamiji wanted national education to be the harmonic combination of Vedānta and science. I exhort the Ramakrishna Mission to promote original research by starting genuine scientific institutions like the


1) TATA INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH (MUMBAI)


2) INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE (BENGALURU)


3) INDIAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE CULTIVATION OF SCIENCE (JADAVPUR, KOLKATA)


4) THE BOSE INSTITUTE (KOLKATA)


5) THE SAHA INSTITUTE (KOLKATA)


Also, the Ramakrishna Mission must open Vedic Universities for the study of Sanskrit, Prākrit, Pāli and all Sanātan scriptures and scriptures of the non-Vedic but Indic schools of thought like the Buddhist and the Jain. 


Swamiji had also desired that Indians should rewrite their own history along their own scientifically trained understanding so that distorted European versions did not hide from us our glorious historical heritage and freed us from our slavish acceptance of biased European narratives which deprived us of feeling pride in ourselves. Here I exhort the Ramakrishna Mission to building an institution devoted to the discovery and rewriting of our true history.

COMMENTS GALORE ... 96


Sugata Bose @Indic R : There is nothing called 'Political Islam' as such. It has been so named by Dr. Bill Warner to separate and emphasise Islam's purely political content. But truly Islam is political all the way. Therefore, softening it by segmenting it as 'Non-political Islam' and 'Political Islam' may serve the cause of euphemism but is misleading in the sense that it does not reveal Islam's real nature, that of force and power over those within and beyond its pale. A cursory glance through the Qur'an itself will validate this assertion. A proselytising faith that converts by persuasion, perversion and powerplay cannot be deemed anything but totally political in its content and intent, especially when global domination is its stated agenda with divine injunction inspiring and impelling it. Hence, a spade ought to be called a spade when there is as yet time to do so lest it turns into sword when the proverbial phrase will have opportunity no more to reinvent itself, for dissent by then will have been godsped to dozhak (hell).


Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : Arey bhai, where are you now? Perched up still on your vegetative watchtower?


Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : All over in Bengal. Just come over and be our guest.


Sugata Bose @Bharat Ojha : The Government of West Bengali should do likewise, buy one lakh copies of Swami Vivekananda's patriotic works in the Bengali language published from Udbodhan publication division or a specially published version from Belur Math and distribute them among the police, the administrative officers, and the students. Let it do so forthwith with fullest cooperation from the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission who shall surely welcome the move. 🕉


Sugata Bose @Partho Sarodi : শুভ জন্মদিন ! ভগবতপ্রেমে সঙ্গীতময়, চৈতন্যময় হ'ক জীবন ! ঠাকুর-মা-স্বামীজী আশীষ বর্ষণ করুন !


Sugata Bose @Snigdhodeb Sinha : ছেঁদো কথা | Excuses galore. দিনরাত ধুতি পরা, বাসে ট্রামে তা পরে যাওয়া আর ধুতি পরতে জানার মধ্যে অন্তর আছে |


Sugata Bose @Ritabhari Chakraborty : Forget not, my child, that youth and beauty are ephemeral things and will vanish with time. But things of the Spirit, spiritual realisations, abide forever. I say unto you this because you are at heart a lustrous soul full of possibilities that are not yet so apparent but whose pulsations you sure feel if even in fleeting moments of extreme joy or sadness when the limits of material life are momentarily transcended by the rising soul to touch the outer realm of the Self within. That Self (Ātman) you are whose resplendence in spectral dispersion gushes forth as this loveliness of flesh and form all too divine still. Look within, my child, and feel the glory therein. Thou art the sea, not the billows beauteous in their rise and fall. May Sri Ramakrishna bless you ever and ever! 🕉


Sugata Bose @YouTube [Stand Tall Israel--Āyān Hirsi Āli] : There is nothing called Islamism. It is a concoction of the West. Islam is Islam. And Āyān Hirsi Āli knows this better than most. Yet, she subscribes to Western narratives. Such are the pressures of circumstance, such the compromises made where service to humanity is coupled with service to self. Thd discerning mind reads the situation adeptly and comes to conclusions thereof.


Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : If the Government does not, let Belur Math do it. But here also it will be a cry on my part in the wilderness, a more bitter cry perhaps and with even less sympathetic response. After all they are busy singing and dancing now to the oblivion of the coming oblivion that awaits us, courtesy the progressive Islamisation of West Bengal's polity if the current state of perfidious politics at the state level and the exhibited effeminacy on the part of the Mission monastics starting from the highest level to lowest rank and file continues. Being of an active nature, even aggressive with a missionary zeal that I am, I will personally take up the task of distributing free these 100,000 copies of Vivekananda's works among the youth of Bengal. Ramakrishna Mission charges exhorbitantly for the printed books in exquisite editions these days. I will distribute cheap editions like I have done all my life free. This I pledge today and I shall not die till it is done. So, help me Thakur! 🕉


Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Thank you. Together we devotees can pull it off.


Sugata Bose @Riya Bhattacharya : Grand beginning. Keep it up. Mission Vivekananda.


Sugata Bose @Sue Shannon : Not at all. It is a beginningless, endless phenomenal manifestation as the Vedas say---'Anādi srishty, ananta srishty.'


Sugata Bose @Viswarup A R : So long as capitalism exploits the masses, leftists will thrive. No amount of repression can eliminate them as they owe their existence to a philosophy, albeit materialistic, that gives voice to the mute millions that are ground to the dust by the combined power of state and capital, and one that draws sustenance from the disgruntlement of the exploited masses. No one these days speaks against the silent blood-sucking machinery of capitalism but instead quite conveniently align themselves with its inhuman depredation of wealth at the cost of labour, compromising with the corruption of capitalism all the way. The demise of communism in the world has not seen the end of leftist politics which is still flourishing across the world and is raising its voice of protest, albeit with its specific political agenda, often nefarious, against the exploitative powers that be. 


That leftists resorts to all sorts of subversive activities is well known, historically chronicled and has been our experience during the pre-Partition days, the Sino-Indian war of 1962 and their attempted blockade of national development both industrially and militarily (refer to the Nuclear programme of the Government of India), their subversive alignment with Islam against Hindutva being of recent incident, especially over the last few decades. 


Islam and communism have a few things in common. Both believe in the rule of force and both are international movements with total domination of the world as their stated goal. They make cater-cousins, thus, despite they being philosophically radically apart. Here we have a dual problem to deal with and we need well-thought out deliberations on it to arrive at comprehensive solutions rather than self-indulgent effusion merely venting our frustration. 🕉 


Sugata Bose @Shyamacharan Pandey : But this narrative will be deemed incomplete by devotees of Bhagavanji about which you may learn from them. Plenty of material in this regard available on YouTube.

YOURS ISN'T THE ONLY WAY BUT JUST ONE AMONG THE MANY


YOURS ISN'T THE ONLY WAY BUT JUST ONE AMONG THE MANY 


Fanaticism always temporarily wins but loses to liberalism in the end, the end though coming ages hence when selfishness has  given way to comprehension of the collective scheme of things in its radial flow of diverse elements to the common core of consciousness. Till such vision of the whole opens up, this selfish sight of personal end keeps up the narrow conviction that one's own line of advancement is the only path and all else is erroneous and worthy of at its best toleration and at its worst destruction. Great prophets of successful unilinear religious advancement have faltered here and faulted all else as false, leading to fanatical following fuelling hatred on earth in the name of faith. Here the Vedānta comes to the rescue of all by liberalising conception of the core common consciousness and setting fanatics free of their fetters of faith which even if food for them are poison for others of a different orientation of mind. Ramakrishna is the personified ideal of that Vedānta in this Age and must be duly studied and in depth interpreted to release humanity of its constraining conceptions and of its confining conditions that like prison cells have partitioned what ought to have been, and what deep down is, freely flowing life, the Spirit in unfettered flow. Ramakrishna is the illustration of this wonderful principle of universalism that the Vedānta philosophically hints at, for theory is not reality but its verbal representation, the reality transcendent being realised only in samādhi with its practical demonstration visible in its personification in the Avatār. The Vedānta is the theory, the Avatār is the way and Brahman is the goal, sounding as the 🕉 endlessly at the junction of the Unmanifest and the Manifest, ordering phenomenal flow in opposite directions, from the One to the Many and from the Many to the One.

THE DEFENCE OF HINDUISM ... 1


THE DEFENCE OF HINDUISM ... 1


How can a person become a Muslim or a Christian by conversion? One has to do so by conviction. And getting brainwashed is not being rationally convinced. 


Human beings are different from animals in that they can think rationally, experiment and experience. This is how science has developed and this is how religion ought to have developed as well. Faith plays no role whatsoever in the structuring of science and ought not to do so in the case of religion also. But the Abrahamic religions are faith all the way from origin to terminus. The Sanātan Dharma is not so. Its method is quite like the empirical sciences---rational, experimental and intuitive. 


The undue absolute insistence on faith in unique revelations of special personages called prophets is indicative of the fact that Abrahamic affirmations and injunctions are entirely matters of faith of little value in the light of reality as it is and cannot stand the test of reason which for them to be deemed true, they must undergo the rigour of. The Sanātan Dharma, on the other hand, right from early inception has been remarkably rational before it reached its highest heights in experiential transrationality which nonetheless was in harmony with enlightened reason free of fallacious counterargument. Centuries of rational inquiry, experimentation and introspection led to a vast mass of sensuous and supersensuous findings which became the body of the Vedas and the Vedāngas, reaching its summit of realisations in the Vedānta or the Upanishads. External analysis of Nature it began with but ended in the analysis internal of the mind before culminating in the discovery of the Spirit or the Self of man, in Sanskrit called the Ātman, which also is the foundational basis of all phenomena and is called Brahman. The most brilliant averment of the Upanishad 'Ayam Ātma Brahma' ('Ayamātma Brahma'---'This Ātman is Brahman') was no less brilliant an equation than E = mc², the equivalence of energy and mass.


Ignorance of the Dharma is causing Hindus to be trapped by the Abrahamic conversion network which sufficient training should surely teach them to stay clear of. We need elementary Sanskrit schools where the language in its rudimentary form will be taught along with some amount of scriptural study. Knowledge of one's own spiritual culture empowers one to defend one's cultural-civilisational status and not to forsake it at the drop of a hat, be it an Islamic hat, a Christian hat or a Communist hat. 


Self-hatred of the educated elite Hindus is a disease coming from the West and this must be effectively countered. This leftist orientation, this western modernity shorn of character and enduring civilisational substance, is eating into the vitals of the nation and ought to be intellectually and culturally fought off for the Sanātan culture to survive and flourish.


Another conversion trap is that of marriage. When a Hindu marries a Muslim, he/she is invariably converted to Islam as for a Muslim it is divinely mandated that he/she cannot marry a non-Muslim. In the case of a Hindu marrying a Christian, even if the Hindu is not converted to Christianity, more often than not the offspring are baptised into Christianity. That Hindus allow this ease of self-conversion into the Abrahamic fold is less out of liberalism and more out of loss of Hindu character owing to lack of dhārmic knowledge and sufficient affiliation to the Hindu fold. Does not Krishna exhort Arjun, "Svadharmey nidhanam shreya paradharma bhayāvaha" which in wider civilisational implication would also mean that it is better to die within the fold of one's own faith but terrible to accept another's, that is, conversion is terrible and worse than death, for unlike the death of the body in the former case, it is death of the soul?

KĀLI! KĀLI! KĀLI!


KĀLI! KĀLI! KĀLI!


Unless a person is absolutely pure and is masculine enough, he cannot be an effective instrument of the Divine in his bid to defend Sanātan Dharma and Sanātanis. Therefore, purity is the precondition to preaching. And an abundance of manifested manhood is the mode. Else, effeminacy mars the message and fails to inspire vigour and valour in the youth of the nation. 


We have had enough of sentimental nonsense masquerading as devotion, a plethora of puerile preaching of the principles of the Vedanta that the preacher practises not nor dares to deliver like Krishna in the thick of battle, preferring instead the sanctuary of superpower station to dish out scriptural dole of no consequence while Punyabhumi Bhāratvarsha progressively sinks into potential balkanisation consequent on the growing Islamisation of the nation. Sanātan Dharma and Sanātanis need direction practical to protect their interests and not cartloads of theoretical speculation that could not prevent Partition after all. 


Kāli Pūja demands severed heads of Her devotees, not in metaphorical terms but in real physical terms, much like Swamiji had in like terms exhorted, "Buddhās by the thousands will have to be sacrificed. Sacrifice has been the law in the past and sacrifice, alas, shall be the law for ages to come. The earth's bravest and best will have to be sacrificed." And out of such valorous exhortation rose a million martyrs to the motherland's freedom from colonial shackles. 


In Srinagar, Kashmir, Swamiji composed in divine inspiration 'Kali the Mother', more a spontaneous overflow of spiritual emotion in words and less of a cogitated composition in metre. In this famous dedication to the Primordial Power of countless universes Swamiji invoked the Devi of Destruction and laid down his head to be severed and strung in Her garland of skulls. Swamiji invoked the Terrible, the Mother of all terror, Terror Herself, in his bravest worship of Mahāmāyā who rules all. He, thus, set before his followers the template of devotion, of knowledge, of work and of communion---the worship of the Terrible. The Vedic worship in vigorous, valourous terms was thus set alive amidst the morass of materialistic degeneration then extant as devotion, so feeble that it dared to sing and dance but dared not challenge the oppressive powers that be that had held humanity down. 


This Kāli Pūja night let us revisit that fateful night of reckoning for Swamiji when he swooned in divine ecstasy the moment the last lines of his poem had been penned and fell to the floor in superconscious oblivion of earthly surroundings. Let us then pledge to be worthy infantry of this leonine General, Swami Vivekananda, upon whom was laid the charge of resurrecting humanity by the Master of the universe, Mā Kāli Herself in Her earthly incarnation. 🕉

Dear Sharmistha,                       25.10.2025

     A constant current of reflection and remembrance divine leads to realisation of the Ideal. The Ishta never sleeps but is wide awake in the sanctum sanctorum of the spiritual heart waiting for aeons for the wandering soul to return home unto union with Him that shall sunder no more. Time is in billions of years in the relative order of things and yet it slows down as one moves inward, gravitating to the core where all motion ceases, time stops, thoughts coalesce, so to say, to reveal the ever Unmanifest which is the solidarity of Absolute Existence and Absolute Consciousness. This fleeting fractured life becomes the unbreakable, undying eternity of existence and oscillating time vanishes to reveal the frozen Present without a stir. Relativity is gone and the Absolute abides. 🕉


With everlasting blessings and guidance to the sanctum within,

Gurudev

LETTER 1:


Dear Divya,                                     16.10.2025

     Happy birthday! This is the most glorious moment that arrives every year, that first moment of earthly arrival. Life, indeed, is a glorious opportunity for coming face to face with the Reality within, the Ātman that one essentially is, the surface cover of 'namarupa' (name and form) hiding deftly the Self within which lies as if in a divine sport to be duly discovered.


It is one's great fortune to be born a Hindu, to be born in Punyabhumi Bhāratvarsha and to be blessed with loving parents and amidst a modicum of fortune so that one is able to advance spiritually towards the ultimate goal of God-realisation. To be blessed with a Guru thereafter is even greater fortune. As the Vivekachudāmani of Ādi Shankarāchārya says,

"दुर्लभं त्रयमेवैतद्देवानुग्रहहेतुकम् ।

मनुष्यत्वं मुमुक्षुत्वं महापुरुषसंश्रयः ॥


Durlabhaṃ trayamevaitad devānugraha hetukam |

manuṣyatvaṃ mumukṣutvaṃ mahāpuruṣasaṃśrayaḥ ||"


"Three things are rarely received: a human birth, the longing for liberation and the association of a great soul." 


Blessed was the moment, the day, when the first rays of stellar glow streamed into those infant eyes which thereafter have seen so much of life, yet the satiation seemingly never quite sees its end, for endless we are and infinite our craving. As Swamiji says, "The infinite dreamer dreaming finite dreams." Here spirituality comes of aid and with the Guru's guidance one is able to arrive eventually at the shore of blessedness, freedom and light. More of all these deliberations later. Now is the hour of rejoicing but in awareness of the One within that must never wane. 


With blessings on your birthday and showering blessings on you and yours ever,

Gurudev

Krishna was a kshatriya warrior and wielding weapons, defeating demons and as king administering his subjects more often than playing the flute and dancing with the gopis as seems to be the prevalent narrative these days. He was valour personified and faced the brute in the face. Today we should worship this kshatriya king in Krishna and awaken our own kshātravirya rather than dwell only on his Vrindāvan leelā of music and dance in sublime ecstasy. At a time when Sanātan Dharma, Sanātan sanskriti (culture) and Sanātan savyatā (civilisation) are in peril, does Krishna not expect his followers to exhibit a modicum of manhood? Meditate on this and alter devotional stance so long as all of the subcontinent has not been won over to the Sanātan Dharma. We must spread the Sanātan Dharma aggressively with missionary zeal across the subcontinent and across the wide world. The difficulties in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will have to be circumvented online. In India we have more favourable circumstances as yet and we must make full use of it. In foreign countries both online and offline propagation must be undertaken and vigorously supported. Sanātan solidarity will achieve it. Practise the dharmic daily disciplines and build your spiritual life. As Swamiji said, "Accumulate power in silence." Do it and a wonderful change in Sanātan samāj you will see happening. To that end my good wishes and directed will-force. 🕉

India lives because of the Sanātan Dharma. It is the lifeblood of the nation. Hindus outnumbered by Muslims would spell the doom of this beloved motherland of ours, already mutilated off her arms in her partitioned parts in Pakistan and Bangladesh where Hindus are being wiped out systematically on doctrinal basis. That is the global agenda of the faith, to establish absolute hegemony over the entire world which, though, it will never be. But India like Western Europe is in a far more precarious position with passive Hindus remaining oblivious to the peril that looms large but somehow seems to elude the vision cone of these puerile practitioners of the Dharma. In 1937 who ever thought that India would in effect be truly partitioned? But within a decade the seemingly impossible event happened with catastrophic loss to life and property, and a civilisational rupture whose wounds are yet to heal and which is taking us to what perilous end, who knows? Therefore, it is meet that Hindus take cognizance of the demographic change that is altering India's fate and will in time seal Sanātan destiny totally. Lest it happen, wake up and do the needful in defence of the Dharma. 🕉 Hindu!

8. আপনারা জেগে উঠুন | দুর্বল হবেন না | নিজের দুর্গতি নিজেদেরই দূর করতে হবে | কোন দূর্গা মা আসবেন না উদ্ধার করতে | নিজে দশভূজা হ'ন, অসুর দলন করুন | মহাশক্তির উদ্বোধন করুন তপোবলের দ্বারা | পৌরুষ ও পরাক্রম সহায়ে আক্রান্ত সনাতন সমাজকে রক্ষা করুন | সনাতন শাস্ত্র পাঠ করুন | নিজ জীবনে পালন করুন তার বিধান | দেশকে, জাতিকে সমর্থ করুন | সনাতন ভারতের পুনরুত্থানে জগত রক্ষা পাবে বর্বরতার হাত হতে | সেই মর্মে নিজ চরিত্র গঠন করুন, বেদান্তবাণী দিকে দিকে বলিষ্ঠভাবে ছড়িয়ে দিন | এ কোন মেয়েলি পুরুষের কাজ নয় | এ পাঞ্চজন্য শঙ্খের কর্তা পুরুষোত্তম বাসুদেবের ন্যায় মহাবীরের কর্ম | সেইমত নিজেদের পৌরুষসম্পন্ন করুন, সমরাঙ্গনে সহস্রবাহুসম সংগ্রাম করুন, জয়যুক্ত হ'ন | আজরের সনাতন সঙ্কট আজই মেটাতে হবে | নইলে কাল আর রবে না |


9. Read Ram Swarup (left) and Sitaram Goel (right). Their books are available at 'Voice of India' publications. Also available online. Their writings are real awakeners. Sanātanis must read to know their civilisational imperatives. Else, troubled times ahead will worsen and may seal Sanātani fate.


10. Hindus are the most liberal people in the world and that is often their undoing as well. Islam and Christianity take full advantage of this liberalism to convert gullible Hindus to their fanatical fold.


11. All Hindus must read the Qur'an to know what Islam is all about. Then alone will they know the civilisational peril they are in.


12. Do not concern yourself with what 'liberals' criticise about your Dharma. Keep practising it with fervour and victory will be yours.


13. Hindus, adore your daughters. Educate them with care in your Sanātan sanskriti (culture). They will guard your civilisation.


14. Provincial character must be maintained but not at the cost of national integration. The two must be skillfully harmonised.


15. বলিষ্ঠ কর' বাংলা ভাষা | ভাষা ভাবের বাহক | ভাষা বীর্যবান হলে ভাব সমর্থ, শক্তিমান হবে |


16. সংস্কৃতের বহুল প্রসার হ'ক | সনাতন ধর্মগ্রন্থ, সংস্কৃতি প্রায় সমস্তই সংস্কৃতে সংরক্ষিত | দেবভাষার চর্চায় স্বদেশ সুরক্ষিত হবে |


17. স্বামীজীতে যাঁদের রুচি নেই, তাঁরা আবার কেমন হিন্দু ? এরকমই ত' সব দেশসেবক |


18. If Muslims and Christians convert Hindus to their fold, it is bounden on Hindus to do likewise to them. 🕉


19. কোরান না পড়লে ত' ইসলামকে জানা যাবে না | আর পূর্বপক্ষ না জানলে উত্তরপক্ষে দাঁড়াবে কি করে হিন্দু ? এটা ভেবে দেখেছেন ?


20. Patriots die so that crooks may rule. Is this why our revolutionaries bled to free us? Non-violence had failed, remember.


21. What we need today are not singing men and dancing men but real men in the mould Swamiji has left for us. Manhood, the prime call.


22. The first thing necessary in the spiritual path is to get past this infatuation with the body. This reel culture, this selfie culture suits not the spiritual.


23. The way Swamiji spoke the truth direct, none else did. No winding about, no beating about the bush. Straight frontal attack.


24. Stand clear of superstition, of astrology, palmistry, tarot reading and all the like that weaken you. Affirm your divinity. Read Vivekananda and emerge with leonine strength on the stage of earthly play.


25. 

বৎস, 

আর যাই হও না কেন,

মৎস বিক্রেতা (sel fish) হ'য়ো না |


26. We have to flood the world with the Sanātan Dharma. This is the one hope for a sinking world. 'Man is God' is the message. 🕉


27. যীশু খ্রীষ্ট ক্রুশবিদ্ধ হয়েছিলেন কিনা জানি না কিন্তু স্বামীজী যে হয়েছিলেন তা জানি |


28. এই প্রণাম চিহ্নগুলো দিয়ে কি হয়? কিছু ভাববার বিষয় লিখলে ত' হয় | নাকি Shakespeare এর কথামত এখন 'When old men fool and children calculate' এর যুগ এসে গেল ?


29. Is not political correctness spiritual incorrectness in the sense of it being untruthful as to stating facts?


30. Unless you read the Qur'an, you will never know what Islam truly is. Therefore, read it.


31. Pushpendra Kulshreshtha has the guts to speak direct about Islam unlike Sai Deepak who hides behind sophisticated usage of words.


32. At the end it is a numbers' game. Islam will win unless reconversion takes place en masse.


33. If you are truly spiritual, do not tell us lies about Islam and Christianity. You know the truth. Speak it out. What sort of spirituality is this that inspires you to tell lies? Have you managed through lies to harmonise religions? Or, do you think you will ever succeed in doing so? Does untruth succeed thus? You know it never does. Then why are you still trying to induce sleep in Sanātanis who after such a long slumber are seemingly waking up? This is the 'Satya Yuga' (Age of Truth) according to Swamiji. Hence, desist from pretence and lies. Speak the truth. Be truly spiritual.


34. There is no reason to be apologetic about being a Hindu who defends aggressively Hinduism and fellow Hindus. Is self-defence something to be apologetic about? 'Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.' We have our civilisation to defend, our culture, our heritage, our Dharma, our Sanātani sisters and brothers to save from the proselytising aggression of Abrahamic religions. 


35. রামকৃষ্ণদেব যাকে স্পর্শ করেছেন, সে ত' সোনা হয়ে গেছে | অবশ্য ঠাকুরের বর্জিত কাঞ্চন অর্থে নয়, ভাবগত ভিন্নার্থে |


36. ভুলে যাবেন না, আজও মা আছেন |


37. স্বামীজী ক্রিয়াশীল শুদ্ধিদানন্দজী মহারাজের মধ্যে | তাই ত' এত তেজ, বলবীর্য, অমিতবিক্রম, প্রচণ্ড পৌরুষ |


38. ঠাকুর বলতেন, "ভক্ত হবি কিন্তু বোকা হবি কেন ?" তাই ত' | বোকা হব কেন ? ভারতের মধ্যযুগের ইতিহাস পড়ব | কি অমানুষিক অত্যাচার সহস্র বছর হিন্দুরা সয়েছে, তা জানব, বুঝব, প্রতিকার করব | তবে ত' ভক্ত |


39. Those politicians who are trying to divide and weaken the Hindus by playing casteist politics are anti-Sanātani. One answer : 🕉


40. Hindu-Muslim fraternity is a hoax. The Qur'an commands conversion of the kafir to set up Dar-ul-Islam. Whither fraternity then?


41. শুদ্ধিদানন্দজীর বক্তৃতাটি শোনার পরেও কি রামকৃষ্ণ ভক্তেরা জাগবেন না ভারতের ইসলামীকরণরূপ ভয়াবহ পরিণতি সম্বন্ধে যা আমাদের সকলের কাপুরুষতাসহায়ে নিত্যদিন ঘটে চলেছে ? আমি যখন প্রতিবাদের রোল তোলার চেষ্টা করি, তখন ত' প্রায় কেউই ভুলেও সহযোগিতা করেন না | এবার মহারাজের বেলাতেও কি অনুরূপ অনীহা দেখাবেন বলে মনস্থ করেছেন ? তাহলে সর্বনাশকে আহ্বান করা ছাড়া আর কিছুই হবে না | এখনও সময় আছে, জাগুন | ভুলে যাবেন না স্বামী বিবেকানন্দের আহ্বান : "ওঠো ! জাগো ! থেমো না যতক্ষণ না লক্ষপ্রাপ্ত হ'চ্ছ |"


42. Krishna did not preach the Bhagavad Gīta to Arjun so that he would start singing and dancing. He did so commanding Arjun to fight the evildoers and annihilate them so that dharma could prevail. A like instance is abounding now when we must respond to the clarion call of Krishna in a manly manner full of kshātravirya (martial valour) and destroy the evil ideologies that threaten to obliterate the Sanātan Dharma and Sanātanis. Vivekananda must be thoroughly studied, preached in a masculine manner---I repeat, in a masculine manner and not in an effeminate way as is generally in vogue---absorbed, assimilated, turned into muscle and fibre and 'made manifest' as Swamiji said to Nivedita, 'in every movement of life'. Watch the video and become men who will cast off the cowardice of pretentious piety and rise in defence of the Dharma. 🕉

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BZRzeqjKy/


43. Shed effeminacy. Become men. It is disgusting to see men behave as shorn of manliness.


44. If brahmacharya does not make a man of you, nothing will. It is utterly abhorrent to behold such effeminacy.


45. If a thorough study of Vivekananda and the Vedānta fails to drive away effeminacy from your system, nothing will. Swamiji stressed all his life about masculine strength which he desired to see as manifest in men and even summed up his life's message as being encapsulated in that one word 'manhood'. Hence, 'shake off this sterile curse' of effeminacy, those of you who have assumed the role of propagating the message of the Vedānta. It is laudable if you do so, lamentable if you do not. For the Vedānta is all strength. Nothing effeminate about it. It is Purush all the way and demands paurush (masculinity) for its due delivery. Just consider once. Was Swamiji, its first modern proponent in the West, effeminate? Or did he approve of such effeminacy? Why then does this simple idea not enter the brains of later propagators? Isn't it a shame that Swamiji should be so shamed by acting counter to his exhortations all his life? 🕉


46. Hindus must be much more masculine. Otherwise they will not be able to overcome the demonic forces that threaten to annihilate them.


47. Just the other day man emerged from the forests. So, he fights and fights and endlessly fights to appease his primitive instincts.


48. The ego is ever updated. It is a seamless transition from moment to moment upholding this delusive dream thus.


49. Gandhiji was a sad sequel to the heroic Swamiji. Netaji was a truer representative somewhat, not in whole but in part, of Swamij's legacy. Bagha Jatin and Rash Behari Bose were all worthy inheritors of Swamij's leonine gifts unto the nationalists but as yet another Vivekananda is in the womb of time waiting to be born to give telling effect to Swamij's message that will fire up humanity once more as it did when 'it issued from the lips of the hero'. A heroic soul is not enough. A comprehensive soul who will embody Bhāratvarsha in totality as did Swamiji must as yet arrive to complete what Vivekananda has left undone owing to the exigencies of his times and the shortness of his life. 


Swamiji is an ocean that lies unplumbed, a vast reservoir of resources the very surface of which has as yet been touched. Verily has Eleanor Stark called Swamiji's message to America as 'a gift unopened'. America has as yet to learn of it. But have Indians understood Swamiji? I am convinced they haven't. We are yet to produce real men with leonine strength running in their veins to be able to comprehend Swamiji, then absorb and assimilate his message before making them into blood and muscle for conversion into dynamic work.


50. Reconversion of the whole of the subcontinent back to the Sanātan Dharma is the only way to secure permanent peace and progress here. 


51. তেজি সাধু চাই | তবে ত' তাঁদের প্রদর্শিত পথে চলে তেজি মানুষ হবে | এখন ত' সব কেমন মেয়েলি গোছের | স্বামীজী ত' এমন চান নি | 


52. আমার প্রতিবেদনগুলিতে কে বা কারা প্রতিক্রিয়া জানালেন, দীর্ঘদিন তা দেখতে দেখতে এখন বেশ বুঝি কার কি ভাব | চিনে নিয়েছি মানুষকে | 


53. স্বামীজীর দুঃখ আর বোঝে কে ? বুঝলই বা কে ? জীবনসায়াহ্নে বলেছিলেন, "দৈবদুর্বিপাকে যদি বা দেহ হ'ল কিন্তু কোন' কাজে লাগল না | মাথাওয়ালা ছেলেগুলো সব বে করে বসে আছে, নয় শরীর অপটু, নয় মানযশখ্যাতির বশ | আর যারা আসছে, তারা উচ্চ উচ্চ ভাবগ্রহণে সমুৎসুক নয় | এই দেখে মন হতাশায় ভেঙে পড়ে | তবে হ্যাঁ, ঠাকুরের ইচ্ছা হলে কালে এদেরই মধ্য হতে সব মহাবীরের জন্ম হবে |"


54. Hinduism, to survive, must become heavily a proselytising religion. Otherwise, in a predatory world existence will be at stake.


55. I will defend my Hindu identity at any cost. This should be the dhārmic attitude of all Hindus. Children must be trained up this way.


56. The more fanatical a religion, the faster it spreads. Thus, if Islam is, as claimed, the fastest growing religion in the world, it is the most fanatical of all religions as well. And fanaticism, you all know, is a very bad thing, very detrimental to human health and to the health of humanity in consequence.


57. It is an insult to call Bhagavān Shree Rām Imām-e-Hind. Do you call God the Imām of Hindustān? Isn't it blasphemous to do so?


58. যে ধর্মে ব্রহ্মচর্য নেই, সে কি আবার ধর্ম ?


59. যে ধর্ম বলে, "আমি ঠিক, তুমি ভুল," সে ত' নিজেই ভুল |


60. সমগ্র ভারত উপমহাদেশের অতীত হিন্দু, ভবিষ্যতও হিন্দু---এ ত' সনাতন সত্য যা ঘটবেই ঘটবে |


61. ঠাকুর অবতার | তাঁর কাজ সূক্ষ্ম | রামকৃষ্ণ মিশনে তা সীমাবদ্ধ নয় | সমগ্র বিশ্ব জুড়ে বিবর্তনের বিচিত্র ধারায় তা রূপায়িত হয়ে চলেছে |


62. নিজের প্রতি বিশ্বাস রাখুন | এইটি ধর্মের কিন্তু সার কথা | আত্মবিশ্বাস হতে আত্মজ্ঞান---এই পথপরিক্রমা |


63. মা যে বললেন, "জগতকে আপনার করে নাও | কেউ পর নয় | জগত তোমার |" এইটি মূল কথা, বাণীরূপ বেদান্তবিগ্রহ |


64. শিরায় উপশিরায় কালী প্রবাহিত হ'ক | আজ শক্তির বড় প্রয়োজন | নব প্রজন্ম শক্তিমান, শক্তিমতি হ'ক | বজ্রবাহু বিদ্যুদ্তরঙ্গায়িত হ'ক |


65. How can a person become a Muslim or a Christian by conversion? One has to do so by conviction. And getting brainwashed is not being rationally convinced.


66. Is God pleased by animal sacrifice? Or is it a brutal tribal practice dating from antiquity and carrying on to moden barbaric times?


67. Slaughter of cows should be banned in India. What sort of Hindus are we that we do not raise our voice of protest against it? The cow is sacred to Hindus and to allow its slaughter and sacrifice on the soil of Punyabhumi Bhāratvarsha to please the Abrahamic God is simply blasphemous. This ought to be phased out as it would otherwise hit the economy hard and hurt citizens, linked in some way or the other to it financially, badly. Proper phasing oit of cow-slaughter over a specified period of time ought to be the way out.


68. If India is secularised as per original European definition, she will die. If India is Islamised as the trend is, she will die. If India is Christianised as in north-eastern provinces she is, she will die. If India is  communised as in West Bengal and Kerala, she will die. If India turns unduly materialistic and pursues greed and political power, she will die. How then will India live? She will live only if she remains Hindu and reclaims in truth her lost Hindu ground.


69. The more a religion is criticised and the more it can rise in intellectual defence of itself, the better for the religion. If a faith mandates death for desertion and criticism of its doctrines, then it has chosen the path for its definite demise despite all its current proliferation using force, fanaticism and fraud.


70. 

He who with His little finger can lift a mountain can surely lift us all out of our material degeneracy, out of the spiritual amnesia we are now subject to. Unto Him I offer my love divine and through Him unto all of phenomena that He holds His own.

EPISTLES TO 'DISCIPLES': 

DEEPANJAN MITRA ... 1 


LETTER 1:


Dear Deepanjan,                            15.10.2025

    I look to your career with much expectancy for you are young and intelligent, enterprising and academically proficient. If you develop your intellectual faculties well while manifesting your latent spirituality by making a thorough study of the Sanātan scriptures and the relevant history of Bhāratvarsha along with assiduous practice of daily dhārmic disciplines, you will be a force to reckon with. Right now, though, completion of your doctoral study and a proper placement for post-doctoral study must assume prime priority.


With blessings on you and yours,

Sugata Bose



LETTER 2:


Dear Deepanjan,                         18.10.2025

    It is with a sense of urgency that we must apprise ourselves of what Sitaram Goel and Ram Swarup have had to say on the civilisational challenges we face at the hands of inimical Abrahamic and leftist forces. Sitaram Goel identified Islam, Christianity and communism as our three civilisational enemies, all of which are geared to bringing about the demise of the Sanātan Dharma and the Sanātanis in that cultural relation. And history testifies to the veracity of this statement. These two stalwarts of the Hindutva movement have left behind a plethora of literature on this subject, their unique publication division, 'Voice of India', fulfilling till this day their dreamt vision of publishing significant works that would build Hindu awareness regarding the civilisational dangers facing them. But there is no official governmental recognition of their works, as is characteristic of this country where Hindu interest, which ought to be uppermost on account of it being the defining feature of our civilisation, is sadly neglected to the decline and possible demise of it in the future. This must not be allowed to happen and it is upon committed Sanātanis like us that the burden of saving our civilisation rests. 


Knowledge is power and knowledge is austerity too. Therefore, we must make a systematic study of the following authors who have done, and some of whom are as yet doing, seminal work in the domain of what in popular parlance has come to be called Hindutva which essentially means 'Political Hinduism'. The authors worth reading are:

1) Sitaram Goel 

2) Ram Swarup 

3) K.S. Lal

4) Jadunath Sarkar

5) Ramesh Chandra Majumdar

6) Koenraad Elst

7) J. Sai Deepak

8) Anand Ranganathan


Besides these one must read the Qur'an by

1) Abdullah Yusuf Ali

2) Marmaduke Pickthall

and the books of Dr. Bill Warner. A thorough grounding in Islamic history is also necessary. This entails some amount of diligence and labour but one comes out the wiser for it. Lastly, one must definitely read M.S.Golwalkar's 'Bunch of Thoughts' and an authentic and unbiased history of the RSS by some reputed Hindutvavādi author so that at the end of this long reading journey one is able to diagnose the causes of Sanātan capitulation before conquering barbarians, the ideology and inspiration, mind and motivation of the Arabic hordes, and the ways and means of delivery from these proselytising and persecuting faiths which number two---Islam and Christianity. By way of philosophical self-defence one should thoroughly know the essential Sanātani scriptures as well which include the principal thirteen Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gīta, the Brahma Sutras, the Ramāyan and the Mahābhārat, the Ashtāvakra Samhitā, the Yoga Vāshishtasār, the Vivekachuřāmani, the Ramakrishna Kathāmrita and the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. This is phase one of the study. Out of this will arise the intellectual defence of the Dharma. Here I have spoken of defence in relation to Islam only.


Ruminate on this but maintain steadiness and emotional equilibrium. Getting agitated does not serve the purpose but calm, collected work like the unflickering flame of the lamp illumining all but not burning none save the oil, sacrificing itself selflessly for the Master who has lit it. So may your work be. "Accumulate power in silence," as Swamiji said, then throw your ideas broadcast to ignite receptive minds across the world. But the power must be there and so must knowledge be for mass enlightenment to follow. Therein lies your life's work in relation to the Dharma. The rest the Lord knows best. Let us fulfil His command as codified in the Gīta and leave the fruits of action unto Him who is the Lord of the gunas.


With blessings and eager expectations from a worthy son of the soil which you rightfully are,

Sugata Bose



LETTER 3: 

                                                          

Dear Deepanjan,                           21.10.2025 

     One's location in life should be in God. One should be stationed in the Self (Ātman). Wherever one may be physically, core consciousness must be one's abode and in essence it always is so, although, one residing on the surface mind is not usually able to sense it. The coming years will see more homecoming of non-resident Indians and their due employment in spaces that will be created in emerging India. Only then will India rise with its best talent serving the nation. That you wish to stay at home throughout is a welcome sign and a promise of what is going to be more normal in the coming decades as India rises to her feet, and is a very good mode of mind for you, I should say. Without being overly strict in this matter, though, because research opportunities may take you abroad as well for a while, that you deem it sort of an imperative to stay at home is patriotic enough to inspire confidence in others to do likewise.


Punyabhūmi Bhāratvarsha! Holy is the Himālaya, holy the Gangā, holy the very dust of this blessed land trodden by sages and saints from time immemorial unto this day when the grandest and greatest of them all, Bhagavān Sri Ramakrishna, sanctified this motherland of ours. But deeds must follow deep conviction and love for the ideal which in this case is love for the motherland that must boundless be and abiding deep for today's resolve to be tomorrow's resultant in the field of fighting forces drawing one in their respective directions. Many in the flower of youth have so promised patriotic return to the motherland they had milked their way to station abroad to study but have later betrayed the trust. I know of two of my students who had vouched a return to India after study but chose to break promise, seeking the comfort of affluent western life over poorer India. Experience has thus taught me circumspection in this regard and I choose not to indulge in wishes or blessings again, having been badly foiled earlier. But your own karma will make way for your future destination---Bhogyabhūmi Occident or Punyabhūmi Bhāratvarsha.


With blessings,
