Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : Yours is always the Gupte googly.

Sugata Bose @Sangeeta Ghosh : "I am proud to be a Hindu," declared Swami Vivekananda at a time when our civilisation was facing an existential threat. It was he who infused strength in our failing, falling polity, awakening in us self-respect, self-reliance and a deep sense of reverence (shraddhā) for what was to be in civilisational terms a Hindu, the generally meek Hindu, peaceful and contemplative, who could fearlessly rise in defence of the Dharma if need be. Such an existential threat faces the Hindus today once more when we must unite in the Mother's name, responding to the clarion call given by this Lion of the Vedānta. In it lies our own well-being and in it lies the well-being of the wider world, immersed as it is in ignorance, conflict, confusion and chaos. A civilisational churn is on globally where the Hindu must dip his hands right to raise the ambrosia once more that will save the world. And this must begin with the awareness of every right-thinking Hindu of his civilisational roots and activation thereof of the principles laid down in the scriptures. 🕉

1. What you think of, you become. This is the law of sustained induction, the process of transformation through education, indoctrination, meditation, imagination, reflection, contemplation et al. But it must be wholehearted and sustained till the end is reached and not given up mid-way. Here resolve and firmness of purpose and execution comes in. Nature yields before the omnipotent soul, blocking its path, barring its progress only to intensify effort till the critical point be reached and scaled over. Then the metamorphosis in the pertinent phase is complete even as a fresh phase begins. This is the evolutionary way.

2. ব্রাহ্মণ কে ? যে অনুভূতির জগতে প্রবেশ করেছে |

5. মা ! তোমার প্রসাদ, কৃপা, ভালবাসা---কিছুই চাই না, মা | অপরিগ্রহ ! দেখি, নিঃস্ব ভগবান পায় কিনা |

6. Love is self-reflection.

কবির কথা যখন ফুরোয়,

10. The life of a saint is writ in tears of blood. So is humanity saintly. For what is civilisation but the fruit of the blood and bruises of the billions, the toil and tears of the teeming millions that have but breathed to seek deliverance in their end? The mute millions have endlessly suffered to build the works in stone while their stone-heart masters have mercilessly mauled them. Such is civilisation, such the saint's life spread out in ghe masses, in the vast body of God, suffering humanity. 

11. 

If this form I do wear yet again,

I shall adorn it with love again.

12. He knows best who has known the One. And He is One and She is the Many.

13. He knows best who has known the One. And He is the One and She is the Many.

14. Dawn it is and the veil of light has hid the heavens.

15. Speaks the Lord in silence ever.

16. The humming bee waltzed past whispering her message of love.

17. Dive ye into the ocean of love and immortal rise from it.

18. What is the intrinsic worth of man? His very life-breath.

19. Subtle are the ways of the Lord, subtler still the Lord Himself. Who loveth Him, seeth Him, for He is seated in the midst of that love.

ISLAM ... 1

ISLAM ... 1

Islam is full of assumptions and arbitrary assertions regarding its doctrine whose divine origin is authenticated by crude circular logic, rationally untenable utterly. Its self-proclaimed superiority over all other faiths is simply arbitrary and has neither philosophical validity nor rational justification. Hence, Islam has by design historically spread by the edge of the sword through direct violence and through the creation of circumstantial pressure (dhimmitude) leading to mass conversion. Proliferation of population by ensuring high fertility rate of its womenfolk has been another method of spreading the Deen.

NOTE TO MY STUDENT'S MOTHER

NOTE TO MY STUDENT'S MOTHER

I cannot follow constant guidance regarding what to teach when anymore. This is demeaning for me and I have in my long career as a tutor for over four decades never done so in a single instance. I am not a classwork-tending, examination-tending teacher. I build lives. It must be understood. I have repeatedly said so in the past but seemingly to no effect. My students do very well this way. My life's experience says so. You must have faith in me and let me take charge hereon as I deem best. ICSE is less than three years away and I am under time pressure to build her well enough for life, although she is doing remarkably good work for some time now. She will do better. Do not read me wrong as your understanding is most essential. Bless you!

ISLAM/CHRISTIANITY/HINDUISM---A RELATIVE STUDY ... 1

ISLAM/CHRISTIANITY/HINDUISM---A RELATIVE STUDY ... 1

The most mischievous thing politically is to convert Hindus to Islam through marriage. Increasing numbers to increase earthly influence thus in political terms is hardly spiritual. No Muslim as per Islamic scriptural injunction may marry a mushrik without first converting her or him to Islam. And the Hindu is a mushrik (polytheist) in the limited vision of Islam which fails to interpret Hindu worship of multiple manifestations of the same Brahman-Shakti Principle as anything else.

AS THEY LEAVE ONE BY ONE TO SHINE WITH A PERENNIAL LUSTRE

AS THEY LEAVE ONE BY ONE TO SHINE WITH A PERENNIAL LUSTRE

Another light of my life goes off. Asha Bhosle will never be again. She along with her elder sister had filled up my adolescent days with a sublimity that is today lost as a civilisation of the past and lives on in tearful memory as a relic that perchance will revive in a fresher spring yet unborn but brewing in the womb of futurity. The breathtaking beauty of her voice, the delicate modulations like a dainty brook dancing over a pebbled bed, here quickening steps, there slowing down, her amazing versatility and that supernal musical sense with ear, voice and soul attuned as if in divine harmony make her nonpareil in the world of Indian film music. A never to be forgotten artiste of rare attainments, voice vivacious and voice velvety where it needed to be, and voice sublime, uplifting, divine where she shone in her truest self. Orphaned yet again today.

A CLARION CALL TO HINDUS BY SWAMI SHUDDHIDĀNANDA

A CLARION CALL TO HINDUS BY SWAMI SHUDDHIDĀNANDA

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Hpmsi6TTA/    

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

A clarion call to Hindus by a true follower of Swami Vivekananda. Swami Shuddhidānandaji has caught the spirit of Swamiji right and is articulating it in the right way in these times of growing Islamisation of India owing to perfidious political play of traitorous parties and determined demographic change being brought about by hyperfertility of Muslim women, conversion and illegal immigration into India. Hindus by their neglect of the Dharma, non-marriage, late marriage and low fertility are also contributing to this increasing powershift away from them. Here a solitary Ramakrishna monk is exhibiting sterling courage of conviction to awaken a cowardly polity that in its indolence, sense-gratification and plain indifference to the alarming state of things is hastening its own downfall. Experience, it seems, has failed to teach any worthwhile lesson en masse to the Hindus who have suffered the worst genocide in human history for well over 1300 years, so deluded in ephemeral delights they are and so suffering from amnesia and plain unmanliness. Alas, it would take more than one Shuddhidānandaji to ignite the wet wood that Hindus have become! Hence, it is for us to come forward and bear upon the same cause, that of fostering Hindu awareness, solidarity, unity of purpose, social help and the defence of the Dharma. Vande Mātaram! 🕉

India is traditionally a Hindu country and must remain so. If not, she will cease to exist. The soul of India is the Sanātan Dharma. If through demographic transition India is Islamised, she will die. Ten thousand years of civilisation will finally perish wholesale. 

Conversion of Hindus to Islam and Christianity must stop. Rather, reconversion of Muslims and Christians back to their original religion, Hinduism, must be vigorously effected. India is already hyperpopulated. So, increasing the Hindu population by having three children per couple as Mohan Bhagwat said is no solution. If Hindus have three, Muslims may have four or five or six. So, the demographic balance will keep shifting the wrong way. What is needed is therefore the unabashed affirmation of the national character that is Hinduism as Swami Vivekananda has so clearly pointed out. Let us do it. The rest will take care of itself. 

The pressure of Hinduisation in all its sublimest sense should sure induce Muslims and Christians to revert to Hinduism. But for that Hindus must exhibit character. Let it begin with a thorough study of Vivekananda and the practical application of his principles in a robust way  and not in an apologetic manner as has thus far been done. Let manhood manifest in the study, practice and propagation of Vivekananda. Then we shall see what to do next.

We need forceful spiritual teachers, men of renunciation and character who can take the audience by storm, who can speak with authority and not as apologists weakly stating scriptural principles with neither courage nor conviction. Such a one was Swamiji. Whither another like him? We need many a mini-Vivekananda at least today to represent his cause, the Divine Mother's cause, so that India is galvanised into productive action of non-exploitative nation-building and world-regeneration through spiritual preaching. Character, electric personality and overwhelming love are the trinity of attributes we most need today in many a soul so that a wonderful movement may be set in motion and this fallen race of ours may once more reach sublime spiritual heights and lead the world unto peace and enlightenment.

World civilisation has to be built. It cannot be if major powers play their selfish roles. Hindu spirituality must play its part. It is not doing so. Massive preaching of Ramakrishna-Vivekānanda in a robust way across the whole world is necessary. Manhood must manifest in spiritual propagation, not effeminacy in monastic dance. The world is thirsting for spiritual knowledge and peaceful repose. India is failing to supply it although it has such resources at its disposal. There must be massive mobilisation of spiritual arsenal across the world. This is the one way to save the world from continuing conflict and war. 

Civilisation is a human affair. It is not nationalistic in nature anymore in a closely connected world. The Government of India ought to facilitate this foreign policy of ours that was highlighted by Swami Vivekananda well over a century ago, that of propagating the Vedānta the world over in all its phases. Now is the time. Ramakrishna Mission, gear up. Spread Ramakrishna-Vivekānanda in a bold manly manner. It is the charge that you bear. Exhibit the zeal that is expected of you. Yours is a world mission. You must fulfil it. The peerless Paramahamsa did not visit this earth for anything short of spiritualising the whole world and ushering in a new civilisation.

SANĀTAN DHARMA AND THE ABRAHAMIC FAITHS ... 1

SANĀTAN DHARMA AND THE ABRAHAMIC FAITHS ... 1

Abrahamic religions all believe in a single earthly life whereas the truth is that the soul repeatedly takes up different forms till it attains human birth and then through a series of births attains fulfilment in freedom from the embodied self. This is the philosophical stance of the Sanātan Dharma which is the truth as it can through spiritual experience be verified and to the experiencer validated. Thus, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all flawed which effectively means that they are not divinely revealed religions in the truest sense, as claimed, because the Divine cannot make such a huge mistake in describing phenomenal reality.

Hindus today are at the crossroads where they must make a choice as to whether they will cling to their Dharma and fight inimical ideologies hell-bent on their destruction or they will forsake Dharma and surrender to these dastardly forces to usher in their own doom. For thirteen hundred and ninety years ever since the first Arab forays into Hindu heartland in 636 CE Hindus have suffered the worst genocide history can testify to. An estimated minimum of 80 million Hindus were killed by Islamic jihad and a far greater number---in the view of Ferishta the population of Hindus at the time of the first Islamic invasion was 600 million, and by the end of the nineteenth century this had plummeted to 200 million---, 400 million had vaporised into thin air owing to Islamic slaughter, persecution, enslavement, abduction of Hindu women, economic deprivation and forced conversion. The European colonial powers stemmed the Islamic assault but replaced it with their own brand of sophisticated proselytism and economic drainage which reduced the richest country in the world to one of the poorest. Portuguese torture of Hindus, their Inquisituon, is of especial mention here. Thus, over the past fourteen centuries Hindus have endured genocide after genocide till the final injury came in the form of dismemberment of the motherland in 1947. No other race would have forgiven so much civilisational pain inflicted on them but the Hindus sadly have. Not only that, apparently they do not care to know about the horrors their forefathers had to endure. This is not only sad but positively dangerous, for amnesia thus can precipitate a worse ordeal in future and utterly annihilate this debilitated race of hurt heritage and injured identity. 

In this age Swami Vivekananda arose along with seminal sages and savants, patriots and Hindu ideologues like Bankimchandra Chatterjee, Dayānand Saraswati, Sri Aurobindo, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, Sitaram Goel, Ram Swarup and others who have laid down the blueprint for Hindus to follow in defence of civilisation, identity and person. We should read their works, heed their message and act in accordance in defence of the Dharma. Upon our awareness depends our survival. This is verily the dharma of the Hindu in this perilous hour of his. 🕉

For some time past Christianity is being preached using Hindu symbols and by plagiarising Hindu philosophy in the name of Christ to facilitate conversion of Hindus to the Christian fold. But Hindus are not to be duped so easily. So, economic incentives and academic facilities are also provided to ease induction. Here we have work at hand. Our brethren need sympathy, support and awareness of their Dharma to foster solidarity. The poor and the middle classes must not be exploited economically by the rich. Godmen and famous Gurus must not dupe and fleece the commoner. The Vedānta Dharma must be preached in truth, not for serving political agendas but for raising the consciousness of the masses. Hindu girls must be supported and families offered financial support so that they may raise multiple children well. Highly educated and talented  people must have more children so that the genes proliferate and upgrade the population qualitatively. Swami Vivekānanda must be preached across the body politic of the nation, not in a soft, selective manner that conceals more than it reveals his essential message but in a vigorous vein that is characteristic of him and his thought. Let the worship of Vivekānanda be popularised and see what a wonderful change comes. No soft sentimentality, no soft music and dance that is typically effeminate but real manhood that thunders and awakens the sleeping populace. Arise, Hindu, awake! Now no hour of rest. The sun shines on the eastern horizon. Come ye out and receive its first radiance.

THE RESURRECTION

THE RESURRECTION 

The Resurrection of Jesus symbolises the spiritual ascent of man, of the divine in him, his sublimation of self, the upward movement of the spiritual power that is coiled up in him, his inward flow, his depth-dive unto the Divine. Resurrection is not only of the Son of God but of the Son of Man, the grand occasion of the confluence of man and God. Herein Jesus, the son of Mary, becomes Christ, the Master of man. Christianity has the Resurrection as its cornerstone. Verily, verily, arise, awake and resurrect thyself! Become a Christ unto mankind. Amen.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 133

1. Men must have patience to do their spiritual practices diligently for a while. Too much of questioning is symptomatic of surface consciousness.

2. A lot of pain has to be endured by the one who has come to serve a divine purpose, that of the resurrection of humanity. He need not in flesh rise but must rise in the Spirit even as humanity in following the Master must rise in the fullness of time. The darkness of the ages must give way to the radiance of the new dawn when all will be fragrant fresh, luminous forms that are no more flesh. 

3. নির্মোহ ভালবাসার নাম ভক্তি |

4. The more you think of Swāmi Prameyānandaji, the better for your spiritual growth. He was an enlightened soul, a thorough gentleman and kind and loving.

5. Every moment you realise God and you do not realise it. In and through God you experience everything including your own existence. This existence at its deepest is God, that very God who you aspire to see.

6. The night of day obscures everything, the day of night reveals.

7. Enough of business! Now read Swamiji. 

8. If educated people are spiritually so irresponsible, it is but natural that rogues will rule over us with impunity. 

9. Hindus must place dharma above business. Else, they will be obliterated.

10. Nirantar Nāmsmaran. Incessant remembrance of the Name.

11. সব গেলে যা থাকে, তাই ঈশ্বর |

12. আধ্যাত্মিকতার অপর অর্থ অন্তর্মুখীনতা |

13. শয়নে স্বপনে জাগরণে যখন স্মরণমনন স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে চলবে ঠাকুরের, তখন তাঁর কৃপা হবে, দর্শন হবে |

14. Truthfulness is the foundation of character.

15. Mary Magdalene was a great saint, the greatest apostle and closest to Christ. She was wronged by the Church but stands redeemed today in truth. 

16. Others claim but Thakur had actually seen Christ.

17. Who knows the Truth knows not. Truth alone knows Itself. The rest is reflection.

18. Must we fail to bring forth great children and rear them well as well? May gods and goddesses be born!

19. Whosoever loveth Me, liveth in Me.

20. The life of one is the life of many.

21. For some time past Christianity is being preached using Hindu symbols and by plagiarising Hindu philosophy in the name of Christ to facilitate conversion of Hindus to the Christian fold.

22. নিরন্তর জপধ্যান না করলে ঈশ্বরলাভ কস্মিনকালেও হবে না | তৈলধারাবৎ প্রেমপূর্ণ স্মরণমনন ভাবের ঘরে কোন রকম চুরি না করে | তবে বস্তুলাভ |

23. No lowering of the ideal will do. Come health, sickness, poverty, wealth---come what may, I shall not swerve from the path of Truth, from the line of duty, from the adopted course of austere action aspiring for realisation of the Truth.

24. What an endless tragedy befell after Islam invaded India! And the ordeal continues even today everywhere in the subcontinent.

25. ভগবান কি খুব বোকা যে তাঁকে চালাকির দ্বারা পাওয়া যাবে ? নাকি তিনি খুব সহজলভ্য যে তাঁকে যথেষ্ট জপধ্যান না করেই লাভ করতে পারলাম না বলে কপট বিলাপ করে ফল হবে ?

26. Keep chanting the Mantra mentally whole day at any place at all hours. This is called incessant informal chant.

27. হিন্দুদের সাহসী হতে হবে, ইতিহাস সচেতন হতে হবে | তবে হিন্দুর সংরক্ষণ, বর্ধন সম্ভব | নচেৎ, বিনাশ অবশ্যম্ভাবী |

28. Fbতে লিখলে পড়ে না | Whatsapp status updateএ দিলে পড়ে না | Whatsapp profileএ দিলেও পড়ে না | যাদের জন্য লিখি তাদের যদি এই মনোভাব হয় ত' আর কি করা যায় ? এদের কি উপায় হবে ?

They will not read my observations on Fb. They will not read them on my Whatsapp updates. They will neglect reading them even on their Whatsapp profile walls. Those who I write for, if this is their attitude, then what can be done? What will happen to these? How will they fare?

29. এখন সব গুরুকেও শিক্ষা দেয় | দিনকাল ভালই পড়েছে |

Nowadays these ones even teach their teacher. Times are nice indeed!

30. শরীরসর্বস্ব প্রার্থী কি ঈশ্বরকে পায় ?

31. The Ishta is the centre of forms among all deities that adorn the pantheon of Divinity. And the chosen form of the Ishta that is the object of meditation is His/Her centre of forms among all His/Her manifested forms. This is specially relevant in the case of Avatārs and Gurus having many photographed images in different phases of their lives.

32. Waves never cease. Work never does save when one repose chooses in rebellion against the unceasing current of life, in rest and restfulness, in peace and peacefulness, in soulful surrender, in resignation to the Lord within. Then man is free. Not till then. Harassed he runs through this world like a hare chased by a pack of hyenas, like deer running for dear life till the shadows lengthen and eve sets in the veil till a fresher dawn unveils the nascent soul. Such is the procession of life, the caravan loading and unloading men and materials as it proceeds through the desert sands of desirous life in all its delusive mirage-like dreams heralding a distant vision of the eternal oasis of life beckoning one to be in blissful reunion with one's Ancient Self.

33. This life is real only when you feel the presence of God in every moment of it, every phase, every movement, every aspect of it, when its very nature has been transformed, sublimated, rendered divine, when the egoistic, fractional, fractured vision has been rendered whole in the cosmic God-vision, when the parts have been collected, coalesced and integrated in the One that is never to be disintegrated in ignorance again. Then is life real when Reality has been touched.

34. Misers in money are bad but misers in love are the worst.

35. The greatest souls do not organise. Secondary ones do. Organisations follow in the footsteps of the Incarnations of God to democratise the movement.

36. The more the myth, the more the following. Superstition is the greatest inducer of religious proliferation.

37. Remember Thakur (Sri Ramakrishna) had 17 direct disciples and not 16 as is officially propagated. Swami Nirmalananda (Tulsi Maharaj) was the 17th. His name has later been deleted. This is the truth.

38. হিন্দুদের, বিশেষতঃ বাঙালী হিন্দুর, নিজেদের সংরক্ষণের ব্যাপারে উদাসীনতা দেখে, তুচ্ছ বিষয়ে ব্যাপৃতি দেখে আশ্চর্য্য হতে হয় | এরপর যে নিশ্চিহ্ন হতে হবে | হাজার বছরের অত্যাচারের ইতিহাস কি এত সহজে ভোলা যায় ? যায় দেখছি, আর দেখে আশ্চর্য্য হচ্ছি, বিমর্ষ হচ্ছি | এখনও সময় আছে, জাগো !

39. হৃদয়ের প্রসার ও বুদ্ধির বিকাশ---এই দুটি লক্ষ্য থাকলে বেশ | হৃদয়বত্তাই সার | সেই হৃদয়ের অন্তঃস্থলে অধিষ্ঠিত হৃদিরাজ পরমেশ্বর রামকৃষ্ণ | তাঁর দর্শনে জীবন প্রাথমিক ধন্য করে নিয়েই আধ্যাত্মিক জীবনের সূচনা | এরপর প্রকৃত সংগ্রাম ধর্মরক্ষার, সনাতন ভারতবর্ষের প্রাণরক্ষার কাজ, বিধর্মীর অশুভ অভিপ্রায়কে ব্যর্থ করা, পরাস্ত করা, মানুষের দেবত্বের যথার্থ উদ্বোধন করা বিশ্বব্যাপী |

40. Ceasefire restores sanity in an insane war. A two week reprieve.

41. Arrogance loses in the end always.

42. Spread thought-vibrations of peace and harmony across the world. Meditate on global prosperity and culture. Develop world-consciousness.

43.

Read this book and find out whether Sri Ramakrishna had 16 disciples as is officially propagated by Belur Math or whether he had 17 disciples, the 17th being Swami Nirmalananda (Tulsi Maharaj).

44. আপনি আমাকে ভাতে মারতে পারেন কিন্তু পাতে মারতে পারবেন না | আমি ভাত ছেড়ে রুটি খাব |

54. হায় রে, সত্যজিৎ রায় বড় আগে চলে গেলেন ! গত দেড় দশকের বাংলার নব জাগরণের ওপর কোন ছবিই করতে পারলেন না | বিধাতার কী পরিহাস ! অবশ্য, এখন আর ছবির দরকার নেই | আমরা সবাই ছবি |

55. মানিকদা, তুমি বাংলার গত দেড় দশকের নব জাগরণ দেখে যেতে পেলে না | হায় !

56. Who is going to compromise with untruth? God?

60.

West Bengal is a war zone where the majority community is selectively persecuted by the minority with impunity and with no governmental intervention to uphold law and order. It is progressively becoming an Islamic state, not because of Muslim religiopolitical persuasions alone but because of Hindu apathy to the plight of their brethren, urban Hindu preoccupation with desirous sensory delights and a plain neglect of leading the dhārmic life. Add to that the dancing monks of the reputed religious organisations and you have your picture perfect that explains the present plight of the Hindus and the looming danger ahead. Bengali Hindus have forsaken Bankimchandra and Vivekananda and the result is for all to see. 🕉 

61. Hindus, do not convert to Christianity or Islam. Rather practise your own Dharma and realise God.

62. Control the senses. Chant to freedom.

63. If not this time, there may not a 'next time'. Vote judiciously. Meanwhile, Bengal bleeds.

64. Bengal's demography is rapidly changing. Oust the demons while there is time.

65. Did the revolutionaries die to hand over their homeland to hoodlums? Are we their descendents that we've made relations of rogues?

66. গত দেড় দশকে বাংলার কেন এই হাল ? কোন্ দিকে চলেছে বাংলা ? পূর্ব দিকে ? ওদিকে ত' হিন্দু সন্ত্রস্ত |

66. এত ভয় পেলে চলে ? ঠাকুর বলতেন, "লজ্জা, ঘৃণা, ভয়---এ তিন থাকতে নয় |"

68. Stop this 'Mummy-Papa' culture and strike national roots. Go back to the 'Ma-Baba' call.

69. Develop a volcanic power in yourself. The way is to read Swami Vivekananda's works continuously. He is the powerhouse who will quicken you unto your Self, the Ātman, the repository of all power. 

70. নিজের রূপ নিয়েই সব ব্যস্ত | গুণের উৎকর্ষে দেশের দশের সমৃদ্ধি |

71. 

TO THE COLONISER

You didn't go seafaring across the world to spread your much-vaunted civilisation but to loot and rob the world, your depredation aiding your adornment of homeland that was otherwise not possible. You have robbed India, colonised the world, reduced whole populations to slavery and built your own hopes and aspirations. Rather bad. Civilisation? Ask yourself.

72. ভাল লাগে এত নিজের ছবি দিতে সমাজ মাধ্যমে ? আত্মপ্রচারই যদি করতে হয় ত' কীর্তির হ'ক, শরীরের কেন ? আপনি কি শরীরসর্বস্ব ? আর কীর্তিরই বা প্রচারের কি প্রয়োজন ? সব কীর্তিই ত' প্রকৃতিদত্ত | নিজের নাম প্রচার করা ত' এক প্রকার চৌর্যবৃত্তি সেক্ষেত্রে |

73. অবতার ত' মায়ারহিত কিন্তু অনুগামী তা কই ? নাচে যে অবিদ্যার ছড়াছড়ি আজ অবতারেরই ঘরে | ঊর্ধ্বমূলেই গোলমাল আজ !

74. স্বামীজীকে নতুনভাবে, পুরুষোচিতভাবে, বলিষ্ঠভাবে আজ পুনঃপ্রচার করার আশু প্রয়োজন | তবে চরিত্র গঠিত হবে সমাজের |

75. However much Hindus may be in the majority today in India, demographic shift does not augur well for her future. Beware!

76. Study Islam and get to know its inspiration, aims, objectives, methods and treatment of kafirs. Hindus, save your civilisation.

77. Do not trust politicians who discard, even plot against Hindu interests to secure electoral advantage. Save your civilisation.

78. Have premā bhakti for Bhagavān. May the lotus bloom in your hearts!

79. যেসব ঐজ্ঞানিক ভয়ঙ্কর সব মারণাস্ত্র তৈরি করেন, তাঁরা ঘোরতর অবিদ্বান |

80. হাজার বছর ধরে এত হিন্দু মেয়ে মধ্যপ্রাচ্যে দাসীরূপে বিক্রি হয়েছে যে বর্তমান মধ্যপ্রাচ্যের মুসলমান জনতার মধ্যে হিন্দুর ডি.এন.এ. ব্যাপকভাবে বর্তমান বলেই বিশ্বাস | এ অবশ্য এক মর্মান্তিক ঘটনা |

81. India is traditionally a Hindu country and must remain so. If not, she will cease to exist. The soul of India is the Sanātan Dharma. If through demographic transition India is Islamised, she will die. Ten thousand years of civilisation will finally perish wholesale.

82. সমস্যা যেখানে, সমাধানও সেখানে |

83. Where the problem lies, there lies the solution.

84. A change is necessary. Stagnation kills and it is killing. West Bengal is immersed right now in tamas.

85. Bengal's Islamisation partitioned India. Have we forgotten history? Must we allow Bengal to further degenerate?

86. বাঙালীর জাগার দিন এসেছে |

87. সর্বাঙ্গ যাবার আগে জাগো, বঙ্গ, জাগো !

88. 

1. Human birth.

2. The desire to be free.

3. The association of a great soul.

These three things are necessary for spiritual realisation. 

89. এঁদের জাগতিক লোক পাগল বলে কিন্তু এঁরাই লব্ধচৈতন্য স্থিতপ্রজ্ঞ জীবনমুক্ত মহাপুরুষ | 

এমন কাউকে তুমি চেনো ?

এঁরা বিরল জগতে | সাধারণ লোক এঁদের চিনতে পারে না, নামী ধামী প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক সাধুর পেছনে ছোটে |

Worldly people call them insane. But they are full of divine sanity. These are realised souls of stable intelligence, the living-free illumined ones.

Do you know any such?

They are rare in this earth. The commoner cannot recognise them. They run after the famous ones of reputed organisations.

90. Riya Bhattacharya : আমি চিনি, গুরুদেব।

Sugata Bose : Pravājrikā Sugarprānā Mātāji? Svāmi Sugarānandaji Mahārāj?

91. Hindus need a great man now who will guide them unto God. He must be God-incarnate himself, Krishna reborn.

92. We must gather our forces into a consolidated powerhouse with which to transform the body politic of the Hindus. 

93. It is a continuous day of wakefulness. Night is just a dark cover to be peeled off for good and then no night anymore.

94. The blue one must reincarnate. The world is in disarray. Man needs direction and divine awakening. Once more the lotus shall bloom, the rose blossom.

95. Curiosity about others is spiritually counterproductive. 

96. Priority! Different people have different such. The one that places God above all else gets Him.

97. এ্যাফ্রিকা, জাগো !

Awake, Africa! Arise! 

98. Why have the Sharia Civil Code for Muslims at all in India? Implement forthwith the Uniform Civil Code.

99. সঙ্গীত কি আর আত্মপ্রচারে রত শিল্পীর হয় ? যে নিজেকে ভুলতে পারে, সঙ্গীত তাকে ভোলে না | এমন সঙ্গীতই ঈশ্বরের সাধনা | সাধুর নামযশাকাঙ্ক্ষার বাহন সে নয় | 

ওঁরা ভ্রষ্ট সাধু যাঁরা জনসমক্ষে স্খলিতসুর সঙ্গীত পরিবেশন করেন | ওঁরা শিল্পীও নন | ওঁরা নামের পিয়াসী, রসপিয়াসী নন | এঁরাও সংস্কৃতির অবনমনের অন্যতম কারণ | এঁরা ভ্রষ্টসুর, বদ্ধবুদ্ধি, অনাত্মবিমোহিত যতি | এঁদের এহেন রাগভ্রষ্ট পরিবেশনায় যতি টানাই সাংস্কৃতিকভাবে শ্রেয় |

100. In life never disregard tears of love.

101. মানুষের সাথে অহেতুক খারাপ ব্যবহার করবেন না, হেতু থাকলেও করবেন না | ওটি অভ্যাসে পরিণত হয়ে সকলের ক্ষতি করে, নিজের ত' করেই | মৃত্যুর সময় এই কুকর্মের ফল সাথে যাবে |

102. Loyalty is a very important virtue. It makes a person great.

103. Love and be free. Be pure to be able to feel love.

104. উর্বর থেকে বর্বরের দিকে সমাজের গতি বিশ্বজোড়া, ভারতে ত' বটেই |

105. যে সমাজে গুণীজনের আদর হয় না, সে সমাজ পতিত হয় |

106. The dewdrop dies so that dawn may breathe the breath of life.

107. We live in our own dreams, our own thoughts, our ideals, emotions and cherished memories. But most we aspire for that intense mood which in scripture has been muted as madhur bhāva which in truth is the inexpressible essence of love, part manifested, part unmanifest, the child of the infinite and the finite in a shifting dual play where contours keep changing, colours flow from end to end of the illumined spectrum, light and shade in alternate mode and in vibrant drift keep sporting the myriad moods, all contained in and overflowing the bounds of the pulsating hearts that know not each other distinctly but indistinct in the minuscule separation that makes identity and dissolution in their dual mode possible. Such is the intangible made tangible, dream turned into living, loving delight, ecstasy ethereal drawn into the chambers of the flowing heart. Such is delight that deed may never dream of but dream may descend into.

108. The whole of humanity is contained in the womb of woman.

109. Islam claims itself to be the perfect universal faith but its sympathies are rather exclusive, limited only to its followers.

110. We are ideas chasing ideas. Where lies our identity? It is a curious blur of form and formlessness, shifting, drifting, changing colours and contours.

তবু দেখ, দেখ কী অনীহা,

ভক্তচিতে অন্ধ স্পৃহা |

কেউ চায় না রে ভাই সত্যে নিতে,

ব্যস্ত সবাই এবে তৈল দিতে |

যারা করল অনৃতভাষণ,

তাদেরই তো চলছে শাসন |

MESSAGES GALORE ... 132

MESSAGES GALORE ... 132

1. Sleep no more. Awake to your sleeping divinity. Awake! Arise!

2. Scepticism carried to a fault is counterproductive. 

3. Constant loving memory of God is Bhakti. 

4. Forget you are the body and reach the Spirit. Every moment aver your freedom from flesh and form. Manifest your divinity in every movement of life. Look upon all as divine, no less yourself.

5. The quality of the population is progressively going down. It is an imperative now for enlightened citizens to pass on the gene like ancient Brahma-nishthha Hrishis used to do. Marriage after enlightenment and progeny thereof to continue the seer-chain.

6. Versatility is the development of both width and depth of personality of which two of the best exemplars were Ramakrishna and Leonardo.

7. With limbs all open they use them to tie themselves up. And then they cry foul that all is amiss. Strange predicament. Māyā!

8. The Holy Name dispels Māyā, cuts the fetters that bind the soul to Nature. Incessantly chant. But then, who listens? They all know so much!

9. Apologising on behalf of weakness and deliberately persisting with it is sheer hypocrisy that can only drag a person down. Be sincere.

10. There are devotees galore, disciples in dozens of dozens, and, yet, not one is devotee or disciple worth the call.

11. How can the Divine dwell where desires rule?

12. The ghost of worldliness is on people. Unless one rids onself of this unseemly companion, there is not much hope for spiritual progress.

13. সরল না হলে হবে না | বাঁকাবুদ্ধিতে বাঁকেবিহারীলাভ হয় না |

14. There is a clothing and behind it two more such. Behind these is Truth.

15. Self-realisation is the solution to life's maladies.

16. বহুত্ব হতে সমস্যা, একত্বে সমাধান |

17. Simplicity is an attribute which manifests in one's last earthly life. If you have it, God-vision is at hand.

18. Is God last priority? Then ruin awaits us all.

19. Work, enjoyment, recreation---all are prioritised over spiritual practice and man complains he cannot find peace. Hypocrisy has its limits! 🕉 Shanti!

20. Business, Thou art today's God! 

21. Develop shraddhā for dharma, O youth of the day!

22. 

Do not worry,

Do not hurry,

Think of Hari.

23. We are free, never bound. This thought must be affirmed day in and day out. Then this freedom will be apparent, then realised. Free we are, free we were, free shall ever be. The part is the whole. This is the divine equation, paradoxical though it may seem. 'Jiva Brahmaiva nā parah'.

24. Neglect of God in pursuit of pleasure will fail to conquer death in the end.

25. পৃথিবী আমার স্বদেশ |

26. বৈভবে ঐতিহ্যনাশ | ইতিহাসের সংরক্ষণ চাই, ঐশ্বর্য্যস্তূপীকরণে তার অবলুপ্তি নয় |

27. Rely on the Ātmā. Be fearless. In this dark night of travel shine light on yourself and others. They all are you in so many forms. Onward!

28. The more you chant the Holy Name, the more beautiful you become in every sense and peace pervades your entire being. You become a blessing unto all.

29. Existence cannot not be. Existence simply is. Great insight is needed. By the grace of the Ātmā the Ātmā is perceived in the Ātmā by the Ātmā. 

30. Brahmajnān is immediate Self-consciousness by the Self. Brahman is nameless, attributeless, Absolute Existence. No relativity there. Substance, not Void.

31. A seed has been planted. Now water the soil around and let it shoot. When the tree comes to life, you shall savour its fruit.

32. Between thought and speech, speech and deed there must be parity.

33. Hindus, awake, arise and unite!

হিন্দু, জাগো, ওঠো, ঐক্যবদ্ধ হও! 🕉

34. A great spiritual movement is in the offing. Awake!

35. Why should you fear anything at all? Aren't you God?

36. Keep chanting night and day. Let the Word vibrate in your system and transform you. You are divine. Now realise it.

37. Mantrārūrha Guru. The Guru is mounted on the Mantra.

38. Guru means heavy. He is resting in Truth at the base of the causal ocean. Sachchidānanda Guru.

39. 'Tamaso mā jyotirgamaya', from darkness unto light leads the Guru.

40. An enlightened Guru can dispel delusions of the disciple. Too many people, many an aspirant, are in the dark owing to lack of proper direction.

41. Implicit obedience to the Guru leads to illumination.

42. After God-realisation a human becomes a numan (new man).

43. Beauty is of the Soul that reflects off the body onto the beholder's eye much like the rays of the sun reflecting off the moon on a fullmoon night to entrance the poetic soul. Hence, spiritual practices and purity manifest beauty in the body and in the mind. This is the Sundaram Principle in an aspect as well where symmetry, the essence of the beauteous form, has been drawn attention to in the localised human context.

44. Greed has become the dominant vice in this day and age. Online begging by way of doing business is an occurrence that has assumed universal proportions.

45. Praise of the Lord liberates.

46. The Holy Name is omnipotent. Chant your way to freedom.

47. The craving for sense-pleasure stirs the mind to restlessness and kills peace. Renunciation restores the lost balance and brings in a settled peace.

48. 

Guru-shishya, preceptor-pupil, Ramakrishna-Nirmalananda.

গুরু-শিষ্য, রামকৃষ্ণ-নির্মলানন্দ |

49. To prescribe only one way of living for all to the exclusion of all else by way of divine mandate is in itself the seed of dissension and war. 

50. ঠাকুরের অমৃতস্পর্শ থেকে বোঝা যায় তিনি ভগবান |

51. The immature Narendranath came to Thakur in his mature years of ministration. What transpired thereafter is history. 

52. ক্ষীণদৃষ্টি, দূরদৃষ্টি, ঊর্ধ্বদৃষ্টি এবং অন্তর্দৃষ্টি---এই চার প্রকার দৃষ্টি বিকশিত হয় ক্রমবিকাশের দ্বারা জীবজগতে |

53. For rapid spiritual advancement it is best to only follow ones's Guru's directions and stop all other previous longstanding practices. This saves time, concentrates effort.

54. If you wish to realise God, listen to Guru and rapidly advance. Disobey the Guru and you will miss the mark.

55. Guru and God are one.

56. How long will man retain his animal attributes and wage war on each other?

57. Constancy of concentration achieves pinnacle of success.

58. Bengal has a great future if Bengal is once more culturally set right.

59. পিসিমনির নতুন নাম মনিপিসি | (moneypc/gemaunt)

60. Have some good discussions at home for children to seek nourishment from. Sterile video-watching and worldly talk are making fertile minds infertile.

61. Islam and Christianity must learn universal acceptance from Hinduism. So must capitalism and communism. All these antithetical ideologies must be harmonised on the basis of the Vedānta. Ramakrishna-Vivekananda is the Way.

62. Be strong. Resist adharma. Do not make relatives of evil people posing as politicians.

63. If 'Hrishi' is wrongly written as 'Rishi', 'Hrig' as 'Rig', 'Hriya' as 'Riya', why is 'Hriday' not wrongly written as 'Riday'?

64. 

যত মদ (অহং) তত পদ |

টাকা খাঁটি খাঁটি টাকা |

65. If you wish to realise God, chant the Holy Name as per Guru's instructions without arguing your worldly case. Total submission necessary.

66. The worldly ought to finish off with their enjoyment and associated sorrow before they hope to advance spiritually. Then they will come to reason.

67. The deluded think that they are bodies, were born and will die. Running after money and pleasures they die every day. Yet they pursue shadows.

68. Are we animals that we think ourselves to be bodies? We are men, real men, spirits free and blessed, as Swamiji puts it.

69. Unqualified obedience and submission to the Guru is the sine qua non for a spiritual aspirant in the absence of which progress is impossible.

70. Seek within in the depths of consciousness that which you in vain seek without. Dive within. Chant. Follow the Guru.

71. Who are you? Where are you? Do you know?

72. I am the life of all, the breath that animates everything. I am the substratum of phenomena, the Absolute Existence-Consciousness.

73. Miracles are all matter, not Spirit. They prove nothing.

74. God does not plan. He wills.

75. Personality is fine but Impersonality is better.

76. Have faith in yourself. That is the way to God.

77. God you are. Know you nhot?

78. You are deathless, immortal. Dissociate from body.

79. Smash the citadels of matter. Take to flight free.

80. This routine is killing. Break free.

81. Will it and you will be free.

82. Do you know who you are? God.

83. When the body falls, the delusion drops. Freedom.

84.  Ātmajnān is Veda.

85. Seek sanction in your Soul. There authority lies.

86. The Lord never sleeps. His wakefulness supports the world.

87. There is but One. He partitions to seek company.

88. Deluded clowns, drunk with desire, are doing war.

89. The Divine transcends, yet in immanence is here.

90. Let not the heart desert be. Water it with love. 

91. In the letter is the alphabet complete. The microcosm holds the macrocosm. The point blown up is the cosmic extension.

92. The trotting point is the line, the plane, space-time, the cosmos. The point from core to crust pervades all. Whosoever knows the point knows it all.

93. কল্যাণ হ'ক কল্যাণীর !

94. Our children are our future. Nurture them unto fulfilment for our nation's well-being. 

95. If the world stands against you, must you budge?

96. Become an individual. Be whole.

97. He who sees greenery in the desert is the visionary. He sees man in his fulfilment. 

98. Past karma is resolving now even as fresh karma is being fed into the future. The movement of Māyā will continue ad infinitum.

99. We must return to our Vedic roots. 'Tat tvamasi'.

100. Life is in vain if not Self-realised.

101. Who knows when there will be a U-turn in life? Charaiveti! Freedom lies at hand. Onward!

102. Despondency is fruitless. You are omnipotent. Arise! Crush opposition. Despair not. Help is at hand. Seek within. Chant heavily. Follow your Guru.

103. Dance on the golden mean unto Truth.

104. Shiva lies as the axis of the universe.

105. সময় থাকতে চিনে নাও | বিলম্বে বাধা বাড়বে |

106. ভাব বোঝে না কেউ হে, ভাব বোঝে না |

107. কী সুন্দর হাওয়া ! মধ্যবসন্তের মধুসমীরণ |

108. All around you are God. This is the test. Pass it.

109. সংস্কৃতের বহুল চর্চা আবশ্যক শুদ্ধোচ্চারণসহ |

110. Teach your children Sanskrit. It is a must for our civilisational revival. 

111. The pure and the simple realise God.

112. God is not partial. He dispenses justice as per karma. Even His grace has subtle kārmic justifications although grace follows no laws as such.

113. Eventually, Islam and Christianity will have to fall back upon Hindu philosophy for sheer survival in an increasingly rational world.

114. Āchāryasevā leads to spiritual fulfilment. 

115. Love is felt only when the mind is stationed in the fourth plane of consciousness, that of the heart.

116. The famous Gurus are largely false. Much pretence.

117. A blessed one builds the world, a demon destroys.

118. Politicians ought to be imparted intermittent courses in the Vedānta. Only then may they discharge their duties like devas and not like dānavas.

119.

Krishna danced on Kāliya's hood. Let the dancing monks dare dance thus. Else, they ought to put up a braver front elsewhere in defence of the Dharma. Ill doth effeminacy in debilitating dance befit them. Swamiji desired manhood in his followers. He hated soft sentimentality, detested effeminacy. His life's gospel, he said, could be summed up in one word---'MANHOOD'. He must be mighty annoyed at the current state of degeneracy that has crept in his following in almost every phase. A second coming of the sage and his preceptor peerless has become imperative now to save the day and it ought to be in the offing as per prior promise of the Paramahamsa.

120. Whosoever you associate with, you absorb such ones' attributes.

121. All are slaves to Māyā. They wish to be bound. Who can free them? Alas!

122. ছোটবেলা থেকেই সব সমাধিস্থ | লেখাপড়া করিয়ে আর কি হবে ?

123. Michael Madhusudan Datta was a literary genius. His 'Meghnād Bawdh Kābya' is simply singular. Swamiji was absolutely right in his assessment.

124. A lot of fraud Babas, fraud Gurus duping people. The rest are making money out of lectures. Few are spiritual like Swamiji was.

125. Babas performing miracles have never impressed me who am a seeker of spirituality and not materialism which miracle-mongers cater to.

126. If you have genuine spirituality of a high order like Sri Ramakrishna had, you will not need miracles to attract people to yourself.

127. As the scrutiny of the camera increases, Babas and Gurus are resorting more to clever talk and unverified claims of their spiritual experiences in their bid to dupe willing devotees. Craftiness in popular Gurus is on the rise as spirituality touches its nadir. Meanwhile reputed spiritual organisations are busy raising funds instead of stemming the rot.

128. Miracle-mongering does not prove spirituality. On the contrary it is proof enough of downright materialism. 

129. Material life kills. Spiritual life saves. Chant heavily and be spiritual. 

130. Worldly life's a killer. Be spiritual and attain to immortality. Chant your way to freedom. 

131. Sanātan civilisation must be saved to save the world. Let it begin in Bengal for Bangladesh is long gone.

132. ধর্ম বাঁচাও |

133. অবতারের আবির্ভাব আসন্ন |

134. জীবনে অনেকে ভুল বুঝবে, অল্প কেউ ঠিক বুঝবে | এ সবের মধ্যে নিজের প্রতি অটুট আস্থা রাখাই একমাত্র উপায় | যে নিজেকে বিশ্বাস করে, সে নিত্যে পোঁছোয় | জগত মায়া এইমাত্র জেনে কারোর ভালমন্দ বলার বা ভাবার ওপর গুরুত্ব দিও না | ইষ্টের পথে চল', সর্বকল্যাণ হবে |

135. Sacrifice is the soul of life. 

136. জপের সংখ্যা অনেক বাড়াতে হবে যদি পরমার্থ প্রাপ্ত হতে চাও |

137. প্রেমপূর্ণ শ্রীনামস্মরণই উপায় |

138. Death can only be conquered by gaining insight into the Soul. That comes by Guru's grace and by disciplined dedicated devotion to the Divine, by diligent dispassionate execution of duties and distancing onself from delusive desirous dreams that inevitably destroy.

139. The world is at the crossroads. The Avatār's hour is come. The descent of the Divine is at hand. Behold!

140. The Sanātan Dharma must be revived. That is the way to human redemption.

141. Greed is consuming the land. This veritably is national illfare. It is absence of spiritual consciousness that is at the root of this degeneration. 

142. Duty must not reduce to bondage. Duty towards the world manufactured by the ego full of material desires is veritable bondage. Service, sevā, pūjā towards all, knowing them to be the Lord in disguise, must replace dull duty full of material compulsions Work like a master, not a slave who finds little time for spiritual practices because of household chores. Why so? All your hours should be spent in spiritual contemplation if even at work for maintenance of home. This golden opportunity you are squandering. Do not.

143. Greed is consuming the land. This veritably is national illfare. It is absence of spiritual consciousness that is at the root of this degeneration. Hence, the regeneration of India must be with the regeneration of genuine spirituality in the people, of ethical living, values and the expansion of the heart in service to fellow beings, a general awaking to the principles of truth, beauty and goodness in all its varied manifestations amidst the multiplicity that life offers.

144. রজোগুণের আধিক্যে কর্মবৃদ্ধি ঘটে কিন্তু ঈশ্বরের স্মরণমননচ্যূতি  হয় | গুণের সামঞ্জস্য চাই | 

145. All time is God's time. People live at the pleasure of God. And yet they say they find not so much time for their spiritual practices as they do for worldly purposes. Recreation time, vacation time for days together they avail of but they can find no time for God. Yet they want peace. How can that be? One must dedicate one's all to God and then seek peace. Otherwise it is a foolish aspiration never to be fulfilled.

146. The world is full of toddlers.

147. It is upto the youth now to read Swamiji and resurrect the Dharma. They are the only hope and they will deliver.

148. By pursuing material dreams of desire and delusion men become matter. The Spirit obscured, they are reduced to little better than creatures of comfort.

149. If this body falls now, let it pass into the Holy Name that holds all. If it lasts longer, let it absorb the miseries of the world and bring forth peace.

150. This life is spent. What remains, may it be used in the service of the visible God!
