Sugata Bose @Surajit Banerjee : But remember I am unrelated to Netaji. If your estimation of my self still holds good, indeed it is affable towards me.

Sugata Bose @Swami Suvirananda (RKM General Secretary : Terrible pronunciation of English. Needs coaching in proper diction.

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Thanks for sharing these posts. This little bit of help which people can easily give, they do not, because Hindus are a suicidal race. Jealousy, envy and selfishness rule the race as they race to their self-induced, alien-aided doom. But I shall fight on as the survival of the human race depends on the survival of the Hindus and what better way to ensure it than to promote the literature of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda, an exercise in bliss for me which you in your best discretion may also be the sharer of. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : Limit tends to oblivion.

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : No, the errors are in the pdf file from where I copy-pasted. Will rectify forthwith. Plus sleepy eyes in the dead of night with drooping lids dropping guard.

Thanks for pointing it out. The post, copy-pasted to a fault, was littered with errors. Have cleansed it of a lot of the inadvertent errors and will have to keep on filtering the same with drooping lids refusing to cooperate beyond a point. But I will clear the mistakes eventually for sure. They made rather bad reading when I, prompted by you, was attending to them.

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : And isn't it a pity that there is such a deal of apathy to good work done, such shameless irresponsibility towards the well-being of the nation, such self-indulgence, sycophancy of the men in robes or in the corridors of power? This indeed is degeneration of the worst kind, that of the slave who can never unite in wholesome cooperative action for the uplift of the nation but can very well help run down an aspirant with welfare motivations out of lowly envy that has come to characterise our benighted nation. 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Advaita Ashrama] : Swami Suddhidanandaji has at last come into his being. Hope his wings are not clipped by the Trustees of the Order in order to make him conform to its weak compromising stance held thus far. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Puneet Sahani : You are doing a seminal work by bringing to light the core character of Sikhism (Sikhi) as an integrated element of the Sanātan Dharma. May Sri Ramakrishna bless you to serve the cause freely and fairly, and so help bring about the solidarity of the Sanātan Samāj which lies in divisive debilitation today on diverse grounds! 🕉

Sugata Bose @Sharmistha Chatterjee : This lecture by Swami Shuddhidananda is the most forthright I have heard ever from the lips of a Ramakrishna monk. How detonating must have been then the lectures of Swamiji?

Sugata Bose @Dalia Chowdhari Dalia C :

১) আপনি কি আমার দীর্ঘদিনের পরিচিতা ব্যক্তি যে জানেন আমি ইতিপূর্বে কি কি পদক্ষেপ এ বিষয়ে নিয়েছি ?

২) অতি অবশ্যই প্রয়োজন ছিল, আছে এবং থাকবে সর্বসাধারণের সম্মুখে এ বৃত্তান্ত বলার কারণ সর্বসাধারণের সাথে যা ব্যবহার করা হচ্ছে, তা হচ্ছে |

৩) বাকবিতণ্ডা করতে গেলে পূর্বপক্ষ এ উত্তরপক্ষের অবস্থানটি জানা চাই যা আপনার জ্ঞাত নয় | অতএব, আপনার পক্ষে বাকবিতণ্ডা পণ্ডশ্রমমাত্র হবে, তা ঠিকই ঠাওর করেছেন |

৪) ঠাকুর-মায়ের সন্তান বলেই রামকৃষ্ণ মিশনের এ হেন বিষয়াবস্থান নিয়ে চিন্তা করি এবং তা ব্যক্ত করি বহু বিবেচনা ও বহুকাল বাকরুদ্ধ থাকার পর | কিন্তু বিষয়টি যখন ক্রমান্বয়ে অবনতির দিকে যাচ্ছে, তখন একজন যথার্থ শুভাকাঙ্ক্ষী হিসেবে ভাব ব্যক্ত করা অত্যাবশ্যক বলে বোধ করি |

৫) আপনার তো স্বল্প পরিচয় আমার রচনার সাথে, জীবনের সাথে তো কোন পরিচয়ই নেই | অতএব, আপনি যে আমার উদ্দেশ্য সম্বন্ধে ভুল বুঝবেন তাতে আর আশ্চর্য হবার কি আছে ? তবে সবাই তো আপনার মত নন | তাঁরা যথাযথ বুঝে নেবেন, যেমন আর দশজন বিবেকবান সাধু-ভক্ত যাঁরা আমার রচনা পাঠ করেন |

Sugata Bose @YouTube [prabuddhabharat omkardham---Swami Sanmayananda] : Maharaj, you are a most engaging speaker, intelligent, creative and humorous too. You need to be brought to the fore and I am doing my wee bit towards that end. Your interpretations of Swamiji are excellent and your delivery inspiring. It's been a treat thus far to have heard you and I am adopting measures to make your videos more widely accessible to devotees by sharing them on many groups. This single-minded focus on Swamiji is unique on your part. Swami Ranganathananda, famous for his absolute devotion for Swamiji, has been beaten in this regard by you and that is no mean achievement, although arrived at unconsciously by you naturally, spontaneously. Your talks are so refreshingly different from the stereotypical speeches of the monks of the Ramakrishna Order that they have filled my life over the last few days ever since I discovered you online accidentally, nay, by Providential decree. As I keep watching your videos  I'll keep communicating. 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Swami Nikhileswarananda] : This frequent clapping instead of absorption and assimilation of the message is the bane of these superficial commercial times. Even the speaker needs to be deeper in delivery of his speech which comes from a meditative state of mind born out of austerity practised over decades till depth of personality and demeanour becomes one's first nature. A shallow audience claps at every point a speaker panders to the vanities of his audience by expressing some shallow stuff in the name of spiritual message being delivered. This is spiritual degradation that must be countered by heavy reading of Swami Vivekananda's Complete Works and living one's life in accordance with it. 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [prabuddhabharat omkardham---Swami Sanmayananda] : Maharaj, you are doing a seminal job. The simplicity of your delivery, yet the depth of your understanding and interpretation of Swamiji's message makes you a preeminent preacher of the present age. You need wide publicity and that for sure Thakur will look to. I am doing my wee bit in this regard. 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Swami Sevaparananda Maharaj] : First realise God, then preach. Otherwise, this egotism that is affecting you, this worldliness that is as yet clinging to you, will make you ill-suited to do the great work that you have seemingly taken up to accomplish. 'Andheynaiva niyamānā yathāndhā' (Even as the blind leading the blind), sayeth the Upanishad. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : I have already started the movement. Now it will grow as dedicated souls join in. Unfortunately, such committed ones are few and far between. Let it be a subterranean current for the while. The outflow above surface will follow. In India real spiritual movements flourish only after the founder, much neglected during life, is dead and gone. But the thought currents work wonders in course of time. Help shall come when the Mother wills it.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Swami Sevaparananda Maharaj] : Unintellectual response of a most commonplace character which hardly addresses the opening question posed with any degree of accuracy, clarity or depth. Evidently people are not equipped to be either preachers or interviewees in public fora merely because they don the ochre.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [prabuddhabharat omkardham---Swami Sanmayananda] : Your observations are absolutely in line with the thought of Swami Vivekananda. I have not in my life seen any monk so closely approximate the thought of Swamiji, and this I say in spite of having heard Swami Ranganathananda who was so manifestly devoted to the teachings of Swamiji. Indeed, you remain in my experience a singular case of total adherence to Swamiji's thought and, yet, creatively so, just as Swamiji wanted. Ranganathanandaji is full of other people's thought, quotations from their works and not very original at that which is not what Swamiji ever wanted his followers, of anyone as such, to be. You, however, fulfil the requirements and stand out as a singular case of creative interpretation of Swamiji without sacrificing a bit of his message to accommodate social currencies. 🕉 

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : This sadhu is utterly unmusical in the ear, what to speak of his renditions. Alas, the commoner can scarce understand this for he is devoid of such sense even more for genuine musicians to befriend his ears! And this is what the shudra yug brings upon the world, the decline of culture and the flourishing of mediocrity. One feels like remaining restrained to medieval musical excellence, artistic expression of a sublime kind than being hurled onto modern masquerades of pristine art forms. I have heard this gentleman to my horror and cannot avoid him at any rate for he pollutes each and every programme of the Ramakrishna Mission with his discordant renditions which are simply earsore for the likes of me. I know of one exquisite singer who alone has agreed with me on this point, one who literally walked off from a programme at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture where the said singer with his discordance had offended the refined musical sensitibiliy of this lady. Alas, such are the times when fools galore applaud 'fools' that 'rush in where angels fear to tread'! But these are precipitous times of proletariat culture where the red end of the spectrum cannot be distinguished from its violet other end and impure spectrum goes by the name of the game to the delight of the groundlings and the dismay of the sophisticates. This is music and music indeed! 🕉

Sugata Bose @Deepanjan Mitra : ঠাকুরের কৃপা পেয়েছ, এখন উঠে পড়ে লাগো তাঁকে জীবনে সার্থক করার জন্য | পরে দেখা দেবেন | কালেনাত্মনি বিন্দতি | প্রতিটি ক্ষণ মাহেন্দ্রমুহূর্ত, উপযুক্ত ব্যবহার চাই তার | তবেই ধীরে ধীরে ব্রহ্ম বিকশিত হয়ে পড়বেন, নিজজীবন, জনজীবন ধন্য হবে |

Sugata Bose @Saikat Haldar :, The Vedanta is Truth Itself. Hence, no question of higher or lower as stated. Empirical truths are not the highest. Truth in its abstract essence is so. Sachchidānanda or the Existence-Consciousness-Bliss triune in its seamless transcendental integration is the highest, and this is not a material entity such that one may aver its relative phenomenal position. 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [prabuddhabharat omkardham---Swami Sanmayananda] : You are a brilliant speaker, Maharaj. The brightest feature of your lectures is your absolute adherence to Swamiji's teachings, your quotations from his works by way of elucidation of point made and your wonderfully creative interpretation of such statements that bring Swamiji alive to us unlike what we are used to in the form of insipid interpretations devoid of substance that we generally hear from the lips of the monks of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. The hackneyed ideas in routinised repetition bore us whereas your original ideas thrill perceptive listeners to the marrow. May Swamiji grace you with a wider audience for you to deliver your thoughts and for them to profit by of the same! 🕉

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Ramakrishna Mission Kalyani---Swami Ishātmānanda] : Maharaj has oversimplified Mother's power as love. There are other dimensions to her power which have gone unmentioned. She was not merely an exceptional mortal or even a living-free being but was the infinite primeval power encapsulated in mortal coil which must not be lost sight of. It seems Maharaj has said it the way he has to inspire his lay audience and, so, kept things rather simple for easy understanding. The real truth about Mother (Sri Sarada Devi) is profoundly complex and beyond ordinary comprehension, perhaps even extraordinary understanding. Hence, the ploy to bring Mother home to her child by resorting to the common concept of love which may be understood---should it be so necessary---in higher dimensions as well. But householders are apt to misunderstand this way and cut Mother short to their truncated human terms which will belie the fact that Mother's power which so shook Swami Brahmānanda was not just love but something much more which they felt as emanating in spontaneous vibrational transmission from her. Hence, the awe-inspired reaction of Vivekananda, Brahmānanda, Premānanda and the like in Mother's presence. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Puneet Sahani : You are doing a seminal service to the cause of integration of the Sanātanis. I wholeheartedly support you in this crusade for the falsification of fabricated data being dished out by secessionist groups, and the establishment of truth as it truly is. May Guru Nānak Devji and all the other holy Gurus bless you and make you succeed in this holy endeavour which is at once supremely patriotic as well. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Arindam Chowdhury : ওই অশান্তিটা আসক্তি থেকে হয় | অনাসক্ত হয়ে ঈশ্বরে ফল অর্পণ করে খুব সেবাকাজ বর্তমান অবস্থাতেও করা যায় | বর্তমান অবস্থা তো ভয়ঙ্কর | সনাতন সভ্যতার বিষম সংকট | তাই ধর্মরক্ষারূপ সেবাকর্ম করার ততধিক অবকাশ এখন | আসুন, তাই করি | আর, কলকাতার কালী তো ব্রহ্মাণ্ড কালী | এ ছাড়া তো কোন কালী নেই | ও সব তো

Sugata Bose @

Manoj Sethi : This is the beautiful photograph of Swami Ram Tirtha as opposed to the rather obnoxious one in portrait representing him.

Sugata Bose @Manoj Sethi : It matters, matters, matters a lot. Adherence to truth, Satyam; adherence to beauty, Sundaram.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : No, this post was in response to a typical tall-talker on the Vedanta as is the wont these days in proliferating public online journalism where precept and practice are widely divergent.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : খ্যাটের চিন্তায় দোষ নেই, খ্যাটসমস্যাসমাধানে বিষয়পৃষ্ঠে ধাবমান হওয়ায়ও গুণশূণ্য হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা নেই | কিন্তু লম্বা লম্বা বেদান্তবাত আর খর্ব খর্ব বেদান্তাচরণ বৈসদৃশ্যের বিশেষ বর্ণে পরিণত হতে যখন দেখি, তখনই প্রতিক্রিয়ারূপ প্রতিবেদন যেন প্রতিবাদে করে ফেলি যা স্বামীজী বাঙালীর বর্তমান বৈশিষ্ট বলে নির্ধারণ করেছিলেন শতাধিক সাল আগে যার স্বাক্ষর বুঝি আজও বহন করে চলেছি অকিঞ্চিৎকর আমি | ভাবে, ভাষায়, চিন্তায়, আচরণে, মনে, মুখে সামঞ্জস্য আশা করেন ঠাকুর | তাই এই না-করলেই-নয়-রূপ প্রতিক্রিয়ায় প্রতিবেদন |

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : No, no, not at all. Our Lord was humorous and so are you and so am I.

Sugata Bose @Shanmukha Maverick P : So, what are unmilitachakshu bijnān jnānis doing to counter it? Sitting pretty and pouting like spoilt school children?

Sugata Bose @Rajeev P Mathew Kadammanitta : How far have you proceeded towards Atmajnān that you are so sarcastic about our Dharma? Or, is it by Abrahamic intent, perverse in proselytism, that you sound so?

Sugata Bose @Partho Sebastian Baroi : Casting aspersions thus is highly scientific unless, of course, you wish to engage in verbal bioscience of a perverse order?

Sugata Bose @Riya Bhattacharya : নিত্যনিয়মিত কথামৃতপাঠ |

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Aap ki Adalat @ISKCON monk Gour Gopal Das] : Shameless sham of a monk! Mercenary masquerading as monk. This is the very nadir of Hindu spirituality.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Ramakrishna Mission Kalyani -- Official -- Asheesh Maharaj (Swami Durganathananda)] : Television came to Calcutta in 1975. It came to New Delhi in 1959. Swami Shantanandaji attained mahasamadhi in 1974. How is it then that Swami Shantananda saw television during his lifetime while being away from New Delhi?

Sugata Bose @Sarmistha Banerjee : Yes. Despite this Tulsi Maharaj has been derecognised as Thakur's direct disciple to serve some strange organisational interest.

Sugata Bose @Sarmistha Banerjee : Keep reading my daily posts on Tulsi Maharaj. All will be evident by and by.  

Sugata Bose @Cheenmoy Saha : A good Muslim has to be a Mushrik-hater. This is the injunction on the Momin (Muslim) by the Qur'an. A Momin must either convert or kill the Mushrik. And the Hindu is a Mushrik (polytheist). 

Allah does not forgive the Mushrik. The Mushrik supposedly allows partners to Allah in his polytheistic worship of God. And this is an unpardonable sin in Islam, the very worst of sins which must be dealt with either conversion or death. 

The Momin is one who has submitted to Allah and His commandments. Hence, he necessarily must be a Mushrik-hater, that is, in this case, a Hindu-hater. 

Sheikh Mujib's infamous role in precipitating Partition through the carrying out of a Hindu genocide is a well-documented fact and it is sheer indolence and irrational stubbornness on the part of detractors of Hindutva and deniers of history that has brought the Islamic genocidal discourse to this state of easy suppression and the foisting of make-believe narratives of sweeter disposition on the masses so that they may never awake to the truth, the horror of Islamic genocidal oppression in Bharatvarsha for nearly 1400 years. 🕉
