Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : That's the hope, that's the inspiration to persist in this otherwise seemingly futile endeavour at awakening wakeful pretenders to sleep, sleeping masses awake to delusive dreams.

Sugata Bose @Jnanojjwal Saha : It does say so. The Qur'an explicitly expresses it.

Sugata Bose @Nabeel Warsame: Perfect. This constant profiling of people by religion in a secular state bespeaks of the utter absence of secularism in practice.

Sugata Bose @Rik Som : এটি বিকৃতবুদ্ধি বঙ্গসন্তানের বিষাক্ত বক্তব্য, তার উড়োচেতন উর্বর মস্তিষ্কের উদ্ভট উদ্ভাবন |

Sugata Bose @Antara Tampin Sadhu : বই পড়া অভ্যাস করা যাতে বুদ্ধির বিকাশ হয়, চিন্তাশক্তি বাড়ে, প্রকাশক্ষমতা বৃদ্ধি পায়, মনঃসংযম বাড়ে ও ভাবের সঞ্চালনে চিত্তচাঞ্চল্য কমে লঘুচিত্ততা দূর হয়, ব্যক্তিত্বের গভীরতা বাড়ে |

Sugata Bose @India Today : Yes, Mr. Shehbaz Sharif, talks must be with Pakistan over handing over POK to India which is its rightful owner and talks must be over terrorism used as state policy by Pakistan against India. Willing to hold such talks?

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : You are devastating in your dialogic delivery. Delightful dents you make with your canine cuts that leave your victims bleeding to their desperate end. Pray, have pity on your prey! They plead unto you to show them mercy. Alas, your wielded word-sword wreaks havoc on unsuspecting folks, so full of mirth that they can scarce detect the darts delivered at them that will deal them the deathblow! Rapier-sharp you are in your thrusts, perfect in offence and foil, deadly in drive, circumspect in defence, aggressive in advance and prudent in retreat like a wise soldier who has learnt his lessons of life in a school of harsh realities and high-risk living. What more can I say than that you are a soul steeled in adversity, one who has first-hand witnessed the horrors of life and cannot thus condone frothy foolishness exhibited as undue reverence paid to Shree Emo, as if he deserves the suffix 'ji' ascribed to our revered ones. But carry on, doctor, nonetheless, with your surgical thrusts on these delightful fools who rush in where angels fear to tread. And, by Jove, you they deadly dread! 🕉

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : That is diplomatic linguistic armour as well, stating truths in velvety language that exposes the enemy without causing obvious hurt which would have a bitter effect on the audience. The idea is to send the hard message across in soft terms that wins over the audience to our side. It is 'Operation Velvety War' at which Tharoor is a master. His long experience at the United Nations has taught him the art of diplomatic mediation which with his fabulous vocabulary and not inconsiderable intellect has made him such an articulate adversary that pulverises opponents in a civilised way without humiliating them as to render relations sterile. His fluency, diction and overall civility of bearing are a treat, a rarity in today's world of rough rendering and rude retorts. However, I do agree with you that Tharoor's verbal sophistication often fails to make its mark on the mind of the commoner which is why he is not a mass leader but a diplomat as if by birth. His audience belongs to the highest echelons of the intellectual community where the seeds he sows bear fruition in their appointed hour. His talents have largely been wasted post his retirement from diplomatic life as he languishes in a party that has lost its moorings in the political life of the nation and persistently props up personalities of far lesser attributes as leaders than Shashi Tharoor eminently is. For once Tharoor has found his vocation since retirement from UN and is doing a commendable job. Hope he is utilised better by the nation in what he is best at by the ruling dispensations of the day.

Sugata Bose @Ramakant Tiwari : Clear the pollution as pledge before polls made and kept, and 'o' will be suffixed to perdition thus to make the greeting great as: 'Hello, thy name is Delhi!'

Sugata Bose @Ramakant Tiwari : And it is hell that is our motherland in places and we have to make a heaven out of these to render her pristine pure.

Sugata Bose @Sanjay Das : সহ্যশক্তি যত বাড়ে তত ভাল | কল্যাণ হোক !

Sugata Bose @Sangeeta Ghosh : উহ্য রচনা বুঝতে হবে গুহ্যরূপে | নইলে ভুল বুঝে হবে গোল | অবশ্য এ গোল সে গোল নয় | এ আর এক খেলা, মহামায়ার চতুরঙ্গ | কত রঙ্গ দেখালি মা, কত রঙ্গ দেখালি ! 🕉

Sugata Bose @Sangeeta Ghosh : Who did I do so? Your utter misapprehension of the content of the post makes you observe thus. I admit, the post is a trifle too subtle for easy understanding, a bit baffling perhaps for quick comprehension but then everything is not for everybody. There are those who are deeper thinkers who can delve into the heart of things in context and in the generality of import. Unto them lies my offering as well.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : The game goes on. So, the end punctuation is missing. Very apt!

Sugata Bose @Sangeeta Ghosh : Correct. Good to know that you belong to such an illustrious lineage. Swami Madhavānanda remains a singular star in the Ramakrishna firmament, a stellar personality of enviable attributes that had evoked the spontaneous utterance of the Divine Mother, "Good Lord, here I behold one who is akin to a tusker's tusk rimmed in gold." 🕉

Sugata Bose @Sangeeta Ghosh : What are you keeping on harping at? You have not understood anything of my post or comment and are bent upon writing gibberish about them. Who can question my loyalty to the nation?

Sugata Bose @Arshad Khan : 'Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan!' Why? What's the problem? Afraid of exposure?

Sugata Bose @Arshad Khan : 'Our'? Means 'India's' or 'Pakistan's '?

Sugata Bose @Arshad Khan : Do you have communication links left to report news? It is all a field of the 'Field Marshall' that is left after the razing of your installations? Now it is only field to graze on? But with water not flowing, green will turn grey and 'Field Marshall' will turn 'Desert Drone' loitering over home ground committing harakiri hither and thither. Pin not your faith in these military men of mercenary motives but build up your civil society in defence of democracy. That is the way to peace snd progress. See where Partition has led you to. Jinnah's massive move was a blunder at birth.

Sugata Bose @Iftekhar Khan : Misinformation and propaganda has consumed the population of Pakistan. Please add this last point to your thesis.

Sugata Bose @Ipsita Mukherjee : But the movement is gaining ground and let us cast despondency away. I am galvanising support for the Hindus and so are you. United we are quite a front. Come on, join hands and hold guard. We will triumph.

Sugata Bose @Subhas Banerjee : This is my post. You should have shared it and not copy-pasted it.

Unless we exhibit fundamental civility and honesty in acknowledging others' intellectual rights, do we have the right to preach anything whatsoever in Swamiji's name?

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh You and I share a bond beyond borders. And the border ought never to have been in the first place were it not for our petty infighting which continues to this day. I think we should seriously consider reorientation of our racial thinking and put a premium on martial training. Manhood awakened we may as as yet combat savagery on earth, much like Guru Gobind Singhji's Khālsā to this day is doing. The great Guru after witnessing the suffering of the Hindus beyond bounds which included the deaths of the fifth and the ninth Sikh Gurus themselves, rallied round his forces along strict sacrificial martial lines which began the counter-offensive against the Mughals, then determined under Aurangzeb to obliterate Hindu civilisation as far as possible. Such a warrior culture we must cultivate nationwide, especially in debilitated Bengal, to resurrect our ancient spirit which till two millennia ago had never succumbed to foreign invasion. The wide divergence of the Sanātan practices and the absence of Sanskrit learning has disintegrated our Hindu polity. Here also Buddha in his bid to democratise his teachings played a pivotal part. His adopting Pali as communication vehicle and consequent neglect of the Devabhāshā undermined Sanātan culture, effectively eroding it over the centuries till the Hindus largely forgot their ancient glory of integrated living under yhe banner of the Vedas and became segmented into a multilayered, multifarious polity of artificial construct brought about by invading forces, most so by the most devious of them all, the British. The demilitarisation of India post the Revolt of 1857 completely weakened the polity in terms of raising resistance worth the salt against the colonisers. This naturally brought in non-violence as dominant mode of resistance in the Gandhian advent and obliterated the remaining vestiges of resistive manhood that was there in parts and pockets of pulverised India. Independence came with its partitioned price to pay as an unprepared Congress capitulated under the combined pressure of the League and the Crown. Thereafter, the Gandhian influence continues to this day as a seemingly genetically altered polity delights in delusive dreams about its past, a past that has experienced the worst genocide for 1300 years and more at the hands of invading hordes from across the deserts and the seas. And here we are this day reaping the harvest of our bloodied past and pretending that all is well when the truth is that history is being daily reenacted in all its horrific detail subject to altered circumstance and conditional contours. Our kinship across countries, once an integrated union, breaks through barriers of borders, for it is a blood-bond in genetic terms and a life-bond in terms civilisational. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Play indeed. Scriptural citation. But a demonic display of dictatorial divine dispensation. Small solace are scriptural citations when sufferance suffocates the soul. Scriptures must be quoted not to puerile effect but in depth-realisation of the agony that life is, to alleviate, if possible, this misery. Intellect can scarce feel what is after all the vocation of the heart. The incinerated Jew in Nazi concentration camp would get small consolation that all his suffering was but the play (leela) of Pakriti. One needs to be deeper in feeling, more feeling in citation of scripture and, above all, one needs to empathise more, feel the pulse of suffering in one's very soul to restrain oneself from being casual in conference. To all of humanity that suffers this death-deal at the hands of a cruel fiat that has neither mind nor mercy to deserve my worship at least! I worship, thee, my dying human kith and kin. Thou, indeed, are my object of adoration. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Indeed so, for dry musical score is no music after all.

Sugata Bose @Imtiaz Mahmood : There the Balochis will give the Pakis safe passage to Paradise.

Sugata Bose @Irfan Jan : Jan laradi bhai.

Sugata Bose @Irfan Jan : Apply for the Nobel Prize in fantasy literature. You will be the first one to win it.

Sugata Bose @Chintamani Rath : Balochistan has declared independence but is yet to receive diplomatic recognition from any state. By self-proclaimation they are free indeed as they rightfully deserve to be, having lived under Pak occupation since 1948, a yoke they have now thrown off by showing Pakistan the door.

Sugata Bose @Ashish Sengupta : The FIR against Sharmistha Panoli was registered at Garden Reach Police Station in Kolkata. That's why.

Sugata Bose @Sanjeev Shrivastava : But in India the majority community is much persecuted on the contrary. Strange, isn't it?

Sugata Bose @Shatorupa Shatorupa : Bravo! As yet arise the children luminous of the Lord who has never forsaken Bhāratvarsha, fulfilling His pledge in every Age. It is precisely this resurrection of the dying spirit of nationalism, of civilisation, of spirituality that has kept up the flame of the Sanātan sanskriti in a radiant flow despite the shrinking space over which it shines. But it shines, nonetheless, lustrous bright and it shines in the hearts of the Mother's children like you, siblings sublime, who are serving Her cause with aspirational ardour. Glory unto you and glory unto the lineage that has sprung forth such luminous legatees. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Rohini Jalan : I had thought that one day you would understand my philosophy, my teachings, my message unto mankind. But, alas, you like all others have failed me in this regard!

Sugata Bose @Kaushik Mohanta : That is dramatic representation, perfectly put in context. If poetry has to abide by scientific rigour, or literature or language, for that matter, have to abide by such stifling conditional terms without being allowed space for fluid interpretation, they will have committed harakiri to their concomitant cultural consequence. Herein comes aesthetics in appreciation of art that outlines but never defines in rigorous terms the content or the core, circumscribing instead nuanced ideas to evolve in the hearts and minds of the readers.

P.S. I must appreciate, though, your delectable diction and thank you heartily for it.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : This is my dream, too, and it must come to pass if the world is to be saved from destruction. The moot question is: 'At what a price?' Because Swamiji himself has said, "The world will rise, but oh, at what a price! at what a price! at what a price!" 

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : About this moderation in work I was once challenged on Facebook by an elderly apparent erudite and asked to cite the relevant verse from the Geeta but to my shame could not rightaway. Today your post vindicates my point as I find the relevant mention in verse 17 of Chapter 6 of the Geeta. Thank you for this unintended but worthwhile service as it helps reaffirm my faith in my memory which seldom fails. When the aforesaid gentleman had challenged me, I was nonplussed and reflected thus that I might have creatively added an attribute to the yogi which to my mind was correct and duly applicable to the yogi but may have not found utterance in Krishna's divine voice on the warfield of Kurukshetra. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : You are doing seminal service to the nation, esoecially the youth, in posting these passages from the 'Lectures from Colombo to Almora' delivered by Swamiji in 1897 when his whirlwind tour of the subcontinent set aflame the heartland of Bhāratvarsha not only with the ancient fire of the Rudrayajna but ignited with it such a fiery love for the motherland that moderation in the Congress politics of pleas, petitions and prayers was galvanised into the extreme passion of revolutionary struggle whose culmination saw it to India's freedom in 1947, just as Swamiji in this same year of 1897 had prophesied. These words, pregnant as they are with power and potency, will bore their way through welcoming hearts and minds, fashioning men out of matter and gods out of men who will as yet arise to carry to distant corners of the earth the message of peace and harmony, unselfishness and a fundamental attitudinal change in men from the currency of crass commercialism that has come to tear the world apart through its violent execution. 

Swamiji was brought in by Thakur from the highest realm of spiritual being to earthy earth to transform this animal consciousness abiding in the human body. He is no more in flesh and form with us now but his message has outlived his physical form and must be disseminated across the wide world. To that effect, to that end you have been doing seminal service unto us for several years now, daily, diligently and in a dispassionate detached spirit, and I thank you for it. That these lectures are of greater moment at this point in time has been brought to your attention by me time and again, as opposed to more abstract passages on Brahman, Atman et al to which I feel the commoner cannot so much connect, enmeshed as he is in his day-to-day life of mundane necessities and due and undue desires. I thank you again for at last bringing the lectures of Swamiji alive as they had enlivened the masses from Colombo to Almora in that momentous year of 1897, a point crystallised in history, veritably an inflexion point in the history of Bhāratvarsha. 🕉 Hindu!
