MY MESSAGE 1 --
MY MESSAGE ... 1
1. God is real. He is Reality itself. And He can be realised.
2. The path to realise Him is called Dharma.
3. Dharma holds the aspirant in the righteous order.
4. Dharma enfolds the moral code that is mandatory for success in spiritual life.
5. The aim of earthly evolution, the earthly destination, the destiny of life, the endpoint of terrestrial and non-terrestrial existence is liberation, Mukti.
MY MESSAGE ... 2
1. God is love. All earthly love have their source in God who is the ocean of love.
2. Bhakti is devotion that is love, Premābhakti. It unites the devotee to his divine beloved.
3. Ritualistic devotion (kriyākarma) and routinised devotion (chanting, kīrtan, pūja, sevā) are Vaidhibhakti which prepares the aspirant for Premābhakti which alone can help him/her attain God.
4. Purity is the precondition to attaining to divine love. All dross must be cleansed, all desirous distractions removed and the mind focussed on the Lord of Love. Then vision follows giving rise to inexpressible bliss.
5. The devotee having tasted of that bliss becomes mad for it more and more. This madness of love is the culmination of the particular bhāva (devotional mood) which the aspirant has and he/she has now obtained the full fruition of his sādhanā.
MY MESSAGE ... 3
1. Karma is any vibration, any thought, any movement, any change. In the phenomenal universe of incessant change karma is inevitable, hence in life unavoidable.
2. Life is held in karma. Hence, karma is dharma, for dharma is that which holds.
3. That being so, the science of karma must be known, the art of karma mastered.
4. This science of karma is called 'Karma Yoga' which involves the twin principles of attachment and detachment.
5. Attachment is one-pointed focus on an object and detachment is the withdrawal of such attention from it at will.
MY MESSAGE ... 4
1. Attachment is natural to craving man bound in the everseeking senses. However, detachment is difficult.
2. Attachment may be increased by natural infatuation at the lower level but requires development of concentration when the object of focus is some subject of study.
3. Detachment, though, requires greater control of the mind so that it can at will be pulled away from that object of focus. This requires the cultivation of dispassion which is the primary practice of yoga.
4. When both attachment and detachment have been like mastered, the yogi is ready for the highest spiritual realisation as also for real welfare work.
5. Detachment does not mean lack of love but freedom in love and in life. The combination of perfect attachment and perfect detachment constitutes the composite that genuine love is.
MY MESSAGE ... 5
1. Chant the Mantra incessantly. God is seated in His Holy Name. Mantrāruŕha Ishta. Therefore, chanting purifies the psychophysical system and draws the devotee nearer to God. The endpoint of this process is God-realisation, inexpressible bliss and freedom from the fetters that bind.
2. The Guru is the living God and the shishya/shishyā the loving devotee. This is the spiritual relation.
3. Chanting the Ishtamantra automatically helps the world as well through the propagation of holy vibrations. The holy soul, the holy mind, the holy word is potent and conduces to world-welfare even without, so to say, dynamic physical activity. Passivity of contemplation of God is most potent in terms of bringing about active changes for the betterment of society. Peace is engendered, peace that is the one thing lacking in a frenzied, feverish world.
4. Who will serve the world if not you? Who will cater to lokasangrahārtham, the gathering in of humanity, if not you? Upon you lies the whole burden---think this way.
5. This life is a golden opportunity to realise God. Do it.
MY MESSAGE ... 6
1. Optimism there must be, never pessimism, for we are divine and headed directly to the Divine which is our Self, the Atman.
2. Never condemn yourself. You are your greatest friend, in fact the only friend who will never leave you. Identify who you are and then see what a wondrous change comes in you.
3. The world at large is the visible body of God but behind it there is a deeper dimension of divinity which must be reached and securely possessed. For this spiritual practice is necessary and absolute faith in the Guru who is God Himself.
4. Chanting brings the body-mind into harmony with the higher forces operating in Nature and opens up the gateway to the Divine.
5. Meditation tranquilises the mind and cuts off contact with the sensory world for the while.
MY MESSAGE ... 7
1. Puranic Dharma : Vedānta : : Applied Science : Theoretical Science
2. Swamiji was the vāhan (vehicle) of Thakur.
3. Simplicity wins its way through to the Divine.
4. A great man comes and influences masses of men, careering them towards Truth and Light.
5. The descent of God is the ascent of man.
MY MESSAGE ... 8
1. Rousseau said, "Man is born free but is everywhere bound in chains." And I say, "Man is born bound but must shed his fetters and free himself."
2. The light shines within but is covered by the dross of desire.
3. The light of the day obscures; the dark of the night reveals.
4. There is no past, present or future in incessant motion. There is but an eternity of stillness, the moment frozen forever.
5. The Ātman is the single seer, the sole witness, the solitary being without a second with no hope or possibility of replication. And yet multiplicity springs as if by magic from the very depths of the Being without contact with It, parallels never meeting.
MY MESSAGE ... 9
1. Sayeth the Lord, "I'll heal you. You'll be whole again."
2. When tradition bites, it is best to modernise.
3. The tiny contains the mighty. Never neglect the seed.
4. The river floweth free and the river floweth within banks, rushing headlong to the sea.
5. To know the night of the day and the day of the night is the secret Veda.
MY MESSAGE ... 10
1. Non-reaction is sannyās.
2. Tranquillity is health.
3. Moderate work, moderate rest and incessant calm recollection of God are the means to achieve life and light.
4. The Ganga flows within right upto the throat. Witness it.
5. A vast field, limitless, endless. Under a solitary tree stands a dog, still and gazing. The field stretches to infinity.
MY MESSAGE ... 11
1. Tamas is to countered by Sattva and equilibrium in living restored in the Sattva-Rajas combination.
2. Feel free within, outer constraints notwithstanding. You are the infinite being abiding in this limited form but stretching far beyond.
3. The Gīta, the Kathāmrita and Swamiji's works quicken divine intelligence that dormant lies within the depths of consciousness.
4. Freedom is not to be attained. You are already free. The surface cover of desirous dross hides the truth that ever is.
5. Look upon the universe as the field of divine delight.
MY MESSAGE ... 12
1. God is within. Seek within.
2. Be at rest. Restless wandering does not conduce to spirituality.
3. Contemplate. Think noble thoughts, the highest thoughts you can.
4. Breathe evenly.
5. Eat judiciously. Food affects the mind. Pure sāttvik food and pure sāttvik thoughts lead to God-realisation.
MY MESSAGE ... 13
1. Man is neither born nor does he die. It is this mistaken notion that he is the body that creates this delusion. Give it up and as immortal soul abide free.
2. Speak less, reflect more. Introspection is worth more than looking outside. All wealth is within.
3. Life is to love and learn en route to freedom.
4. Have an ideal in life and hold fast onto it. Salvation is that way.
5. Slowly progress towards truth and light, gaining your ground inch by inch, steadily without faltering, falling or failing.
MY MESSAGE ... 14
1. The early caller strikes the gold.
2. He who waits, wins.
3. To win is to look within.
4. Sorrow strikes a chord in human hearts. Sorrow lends social solidarity. The crucifixion of Christ, the martyrdom of Hassan and Hussain, the martyrdom of the early Christians, of revolutionaries, of the Sikh Gurus, all have integrated peoples.
5. And yet the recurring theme of life, its underlying principle, its end and aim, its driving force is bliss.

THY ENEMY, MY FRIEND
THY ENEMY, MY FRIEND
It is laziness that is at the root of much of this slow progress of an individual in both spiritual and intellectual life. Insufficient exertion, absence of enterprise, and plain indolence, the careless, casual frittering away of time and energy that keep a person bound in karmic chains when freedom is all the while at hand, yet goes unheeded, uncared for, unseized. Inertia thus persists---no growth, no gain, no progress, just stagnation and a slow sinking in the quicksand of Māyā till the time to deal death the deathblow has expired. Then the inevitable follows in sad sequential order.

Sugata Bose @Swamiji's sayings : These are glorious words of the Sage of the Age.
The volcanic words of the cyclonic Swami. Description paradoxical? So, let it be. Common link is in terms of the force and the fire involved.
The glorious thing about Swamiji was that he was so positive despite the seemingly overwhelming odds he had to encounter and overcome throughout his adult life when he had to battle for his impoverished family and chose to fight for the resurrection of the world sinking in the mire of ignorance and misery.
Today the nation celebrates Swamiji's birthday as the National Youth Day. Directed by the dying Indira Gandhi and instituted by her visionary son Rajiv, this day perennially marks the celebration of eternal youth rising up and refashioning the world for the sustenance of humanity. Now let us bring Vivekananda victorious before the youth of the hopeful morrow.
If the individual is the universal, the moment is eternity and a point encapsulates the endless stretches of space, what fear then, friend, of the mighty and the menacing, your own Self riding over it all as the charioteer does his chariot?
Strength, Swamiji said, is the watchword of the Upanishads.
It is bounden on each one of us to nourish the child-body with nutritious food and the child-mind with fertile thought. And what better than to bring Vivekananda home to them like many a mother does to her would be brave children? Blessed are such children who have received such mothers' grace!
Even if one gazes at this leonine form of Swamiji standing before the world audience in Chicago and delivering his momentous speeches, one is bound to be transported in space and time to an ethereal realm.
The central theme of Swamiji's words seems to be that undying manhood what Swamiji himself has dubbed 'the (roaring) Lion of the Vedanta'.
This nation will live if it heeds Swamiji.
Read, read Swamiji till his words vibrate in your brain and your whole being becomes consonant with his life-giving message.
Sugata Bose @YouTube [The Vedic Student] : Prabhupāda is sectarian and narrow in his spiritual outlook.
Sugata Bose @Swami Shuddhidānanda : Maharaj, here you speak trying to awaken the Hindus about the dangers of Islamic jihad and there your entire Sangha is perpetuating the myth of all religions being true and valid paths to God-realisation when faiths like Islam are expressly intent on attaining to a sensory pleasurable heaven without any idea of liberation in unitary consciousness which is blasphemous in their dualistic conception of truth. Your Sangha does not speak a word against conversion of Hindus to Islam and Christianity when they hold interfaith meets. This is not expected of the Sangha whose Avatār-anointed express purpose ought to be destruction of the evildoers, the saving of the virtuous and the establishment of the Sanātan Dharma as it truly is and not as it is conveniently manufactured into to suit whatever purpose you know best.
Sugata Bose @Debabrata Das Barman : You do nothing but give expert comments. Do something positive for spreading the message of Swamiji instead. Your supercilious advice is not solicited.
Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : Fiery masculine monks are needed with tremendous zeal and penetrative preaching power, not effeminate derivatives of divinity full of worldly propensity and spiritual pretension that was detested by Swamiji who embodied its antithesis and was duly dubbed 'the lion of the Vedanta'.
Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : Read the Qur'an and find out more about Islam and its tenets. Hindus fancy that Islam is similar to Hinduism in its understanding of God and ethics. But it is fancy after all founded as usual on lack of information, misinformation and plain imagination as opposed to factual truth which may only be ascertained through reading the Islamic scripture, the Qur'an.
Sugata Bose @Randeep Bhattacharya : Paul Dirac's Abrahamic idea of God with scientific derivative.
Sugata Bose @Arunangshu Mandal : Unfortunate but inevitable, given the character of opportunists that are galore in our community today.
Sugata Bose @Sulekha Basu : I am delighted to see you spread the message of Swamiji.
Sugata Bose @Joyanta Karmoker : I have responded. Now you respond. Forget the heartless intellectuals. They are of no consequence. Cowardice must be shed and the demon faced head on.
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Do not waste time over confirmed atheists who constantly make posts against the Sanātan Dharma from their deep-seated bias and superficial reasoning, puerile and perverse. They have their set agenda that has roots in their limited conception of the Vedānta, of God, Ātman, Brahman and like spiritual principles. Attempting to convince them is futile, even responding to their repeated negation of the Vedānta sheer waste of time and energy. They should be left alone to pursue their line of thinking and gathering kindred souls similarly disposed. You should propagate Swamiji as you have been doing, only a trifle more vigorously and in hearty combination with comrades in arms who are doing a like job.
Yours in the Kurukshetra Shree Krishna,
Sugata Bose
Sugata Bose @YouTube [Back to Godhead] : Prabhupāda's words are puerile, intellectually sterile. And he needs to speak in more civil language. Calling scientists rascals is improper.
Sugata Bose @Sulekha Basu : আপনি খুব ভাল লেখেন | স্বামীজী পড়ুন আর তাঁর বিষয়ে লিখুন | আমরা পড়ব |
Sugata Bose @Md Yousuf Ali : আপনিও থাকুন সমস্ত হিন্দু সমাজের সাথে কারণ ভারতীয় উপমহাদেশের ধর্মান্তরিত সমস্ত হিন্দুই, অর্থাৎ, মুসলমান ও খ্রীষ্টধর্মাবলম্বী, তো আদিতে হিন্দু | 🕉 হিন্দু !
Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : It is inglorious of the Islamic Bangladesh Government to hold him in captivity on fabricated charges at the behest of jihadi organisations which are galore in the converted country which was once completely Sanātani and will, I prophesy, become so once more when the degenerate lot of current Hindus are in future replaced by a more valorous breed of their descendants. Chinmoy Krishna Das will be released with honour. Otherwise, doom will befall his captors and their cronies and the ideology that impels them unto their treacherous action. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Headless though, hence heedless with pocket full of penny lending the missing mass for a gravitational free fall.
Sugata Bose @Swami Shuddhidānanda : Hindus should study Swami Vivekananda thoroughly and empower themselves to wage ideological war against the jihadis and the evangelists who are subverting our Sanātan culture through perfidious proselytisation. Conversion is a curse and only a strong Sanātan samāj can combat it.
Sugata Bose @Deepanjan Mitra : We are marching on. The times are propitious and the revolution in the world of ideas is in the offing. Swamiji is our General and we his battle-hardened infantry advancing through the thick of fire. But victory shall be ours and the flag of freedom soon to be unfurled from the ramparts of the fallen fortresses of the foes.
Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Undaunted we will march on preaching the Universal Gospel of Truth and Light as expressed in the words of Swamiji, the hope of the modern world, afflicted as it is by diverse currents of conflicting ideologies and interests, Swamiji providing the harmonic message for all, incorporating all these diverse strands of thought and showing hindered humanity the harmony of oneness that underlies them all.
Sugata Bose @
Ujjal Kumar Ghosh requested me thus : শুভ ষষ্ঠী, গুরুদেব। অনুগ্রহ করে স্বামীজী'র "পুতুল পূজা করে না হিন্দু কাঠমাটি দিয়ে গড়া, মৃন্ময়ী মাঝে চিন্ময়ী হেরে হয়ে যাই আত্মহারা'' বাণীটির ইংরেজি অনুবাদ করে দিলে বিশেষভাবে উপকৃত হই। এ কাজে আপনার চেয়ে যোগ্যতর কেউ আমার ফেসবুক বন্ধু তালিকায় নেই। ওঁ হিন্দু।
My response was as follows :
The Hindu worshippeth no such doll
Made of clay and wood.
Beholding Mother Divine in clay,
O, I lose myself in godhood.
Ujjal replied as follows : Thanks, sir. How poetic the expression is!
Sugata Bose @Debolina Sen : Whoever is or whatever is, Hindu numbers are declining and that is a cause for concern, a potential threat to our civilisation. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : We need valour, not sweet charm, robust masculine power thundering the message of the Atman and cutting through the veil of Māyā, not effeminacy masquerading as the message and failing to rescue it from its fallen state. Vivekananda and Ramakrishna are an indivisible whole and cannot be thus partitioned as you have suggested. Vivekananda was Ramakrishna all over, the Master in his cyclonic mood in and through his chosen apostle's form and the soul behind. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Nilanjana Ray : Oh dear! She seems such a sweet girl. May she advance spiritually in her celestial abode en route to eventual freedom! My love to her. ❤️
Sugata Bose @Rajendra Kundu : This is politics, brother. The BJP is ruling here. Hence, the communists must necessarily unite all anti-Hindutva forces to fight it in much the same way the BJP from 2014 has been fighting Nehru by upholding Patel, although both belonged to the same Congress which they now want to uproot from the very soil of Bhāratvarsha.
Sugata Bose @Rajendra Kundu : Swamiji's philosophy? But even Swamiji has not laid down a comprehensive economic theory which may eliminate capitalist exploitation. He has merely stated that it is a blood-sucking system which the masses will uproot in course of time everywhere.
Sugata Bose @Rajendra Kundu : But even BJP does politics all the time using religion. In fact its very ideological basis it is.
Sugata Bose @Rajendra Kundu : But statements are not economic programmes neither a revolutionary system that can effectively replace capitalist exploitation with a better and comprehensive economic order. Swamiji himself was an avowed socialist despite it not being a perfect system. ["I am a socialist not because I think it is a perfect system, but half a loaf is better than no bread." ~ Swami Vivekananda]
Sugata Bose @Rajendra Kundu : But it is making fresh inroads into society the world over. As capitalism increases its gluttony and feudal control at that through the new armament of capital, left movement is gaining ground. The future belongs to the people, not to perfidious politicians, nor to crony capitalists.
Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : But Marxism is also a subject of deep study and for deep study. I have spent early days reading it and still ponder over its impact on human history that has been and that is yet to be. It is not to be poohpoohed as something trash. Leftist movements of the past, of the present and of the future have derived, are deriving and will continue to derive sustenance from Marxist thought. Marxism is in no way dead, for it is evolving as it adapts to altered sociopolitical realities. Marxism must be studied, the history of communism in practice must be thoroughly read if one is to combat its corrosive elements as also to absorb what is best in Marxist thought. It is an integral part of modern history and cannot be neglected thus if one is not to be seduced by its utopian idealism, absolutist claims masquerading as scientific materialism and subversive doings aimed at toppling democratic governments en route to seizing power. Islam, Christianity and communism---these three systems of thought must be thoroughly studied by us to save our Sanātan civilisation from possible peril. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : Well, I like to read the lives of Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Krushchev and the like as also the history of communist regimes along with my other readings as well. Better things?---well that depends on perspectives and priorities and is entirely one's own preference and prerogative. Only thing, democratic societies allow us that freedom, socialist societies do not.
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : I am their collective representative for sure and not on a useless 'terrific ego trip' as dare aspersion-cast by you. Ego belongs to you, not me. I am on a mission; you are on an ego trip criticising it. Only Hindus have been addressed because they are my dharmic brethren facing a great civilisational challenge and I as a fellow Hindu with a modicum of spiritual awareness feel responsible to respond to it by way of offering whatever service I can to them. Join me in this noble mission, Mother's mission, and make good your life. Contribute to saving the Sanātan civilisation instead of indulging in casual carping, albeit of a corrosive character, which hardly befits you. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : Go and live in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Bangladesh before you open your mouth thus irresponsibly.
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : 'You seem to me on some kind of terrific ego trip. Why only Hindus !? And have the Hindus elected you to represent their collective ego !?🤔' ~ Your opening salvo was very much indicative of your 'good manners' and renunciation. This was decency at its best, was it not, when your uncalled for uncivil remark brought it to the fore? A real sannyasi does not make undue distinction between a renounced soul and a man of the 'world. He sees sameness everywhere which you evidently do not. So, that much for your sannyas. May Sri Ramakrishna bless you with civility, humility and samesightedness is the earnest prayer of this servant of all Hindus bearing His myriad visages! 🕉 Hindu!
P S. May Mother grant you strength and vigour in your work for the tribal boys which is of seminal significance though! All my support for it. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : Shubha Vijaya! All days are auspicious for all days are divine as all beings are deep down, high up and in all directions and dimensions, adho ūdha paripūrna. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : Read Sitaram Goel and Ram Swarup. Do not comment out of insufficient knowledge of Hindutva. Read the Qur'an and discover the reality that is Islam. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : But ground realities must be known objectively as well. Mere subjective knowledge is insufficient armour against the machinations of intolerant ideologies. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Upama Basu : Help me in my movement to spread Swamiji's message. Join us in this drive to propagate Swamiji far and wide.
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Grand consistent work being done by you but to little effect in a polity that is more concerned about self-advertisement through posted selflies of physical form than absorption of Swamiji's message. Also note how comprehensive am I in terms of 1) giving a 'like' 2) noting down a pertinent comment instead of a casual emoticon 3) wide dispersal of message posted through instant copious sharing in my groups, not one such but multiple. Such comprehensive is needed. Alas! that is not to be in a country that has yet to learn how to combine for a good cause. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Idle quotation to cover lapse. The verse has been much misused to excuse passivity as is so often evident in idle commenters whenever exhorted to take up the cause of propagation of the message on a war footing. Alas! it is this absence of masculinity that Shrī Krishna chastised and which Swamiji of late so admonished. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Swami Shamil : You are not a sannyasin but a pretender to it. Your demeanour is most unbecoming of one who dons the ochre robe. Alter attire and rectify course. Rectitude after all is the sign of the spiritual. 🕉 Hindu!

FLYING ON THE WINGS OF FACT, FANCY, FICTION
FLYING ON THE WINGS OF FACT, FANCY, FICTION
A spiritual movement spreads rapidly if it can bring to its followers an unearthly sense full of sublime suggestions. Naturally, mythology and archaic ideas can creep in as well into the mass of distributed literature which will fire up the minds of the masses with strange notions and fancies, irrational hopes and dreams, but will keep the movement going if it is well fuelled by daily ritualistic discipline and austere observances, spiritual practices that nourish the psychophysical person, making him happier and peaceful. At any rate cherishing beautiful dreams is no worse than being beaten with rude realities of the mundane world. The flights of fancy that mythology releases in the prone mind makes for even spiritual growth when activity is restrained by ethical observances and spiritual exercises. To top it all, if the devotees are made to understand that their chosen path is the best path, the perfect path and the only path to ultimate perfection and proximity to the Lord, you have hit the bull's eye. The movement will then take to wings and spread like cyclone.

THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET
THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET
Dennis Lillee for all his boorish behaviour would have fared rather badly with, say, hypothetical skipper Bradman. Foul-mouthing opponents (Gavaskar), physically fighting them (Lillee-Miandad case⁵), kicking at the stumps¹ (after dismissing Viv Richards in a provincial one-day match after bouncing him four times in succession), aluminum bat², all this and so much more certainly made the greatest fast bowler of all time a spectacle but like John Snow⁴ purposefully colliding with Gavaskar, would have landed Lillee in deep trouble with the Don of old school cricketing ethics, what in cricketing parlance is called 'the spirit of the game'.
The 1981 Adelaide Test Match³ memory of Lillee/Aussie rude behaviour against Gavaskar and company rankles still. Lillee's general demeanour aided by the Chappell brothers allowing him undue latitude created on-field unpleasantness that has permanently in the minds of many tarnished his image. Rude boy Lillee will live in memory as a great fast bowler who did his country proud with his incredible cricketing achievements but shamed her with his uncricketing attributes as well for good and set in a dangerous precedent to check which the Rule Book had to be rewritten by the ICC. What a far cry from Bill Woodfull's impeccable ethical response to Jardine's and the MCC's 'unsportsmanlike' attitude in their bid to browbeat Bradman in the Bodyline Series! The Don in his interview⁶ 'Don Bradman: 87 not out' categorically denounced the use of what has been euphemistically called 'gamesmanship', what Steve Waugh notoriously called 'mental disintegration' tactics, and said that were he the captain of Australia when any player so transgressed, he would have warned him once and, should he have repeated the selfsame offense, would never have picked him again.
That, gentlemen, is Sir Donald George Bradman speaking the final word on the disrepute to which the Lillees, the Chappells, the Steve Waughs and the Ricky Pontings, mentioning here by way of a larger representative illustration only a handful of significant Australian cricketers who he could as captain and administrator have hypothetically restrained the way the spirit of cricket deems it best for the game. And there's Lillee for you.

FORGET NOT, THERE ALSO IS A DEPTH TO IT
FORGET NOT, THERE ALSO IS A DEPTH TO IT
There is a depth to voice that comes through deep concentration and sustained practice which shows up in rendition of classical vocal music, even in conversation, something that transports the audience to a higher realm, transcending the existent surroundings and reaching an altered order of existence altogether. So hard to express it in words but felt so easily by perceptive ones when men of experience speak, recollecting memories that lie in the depths of their hearts but, recalled, stir afresh reflections of events of the past in live colours that secondary sources can scarce reveal. This depth-diffeence is so apparent in interviews when the interviewee sinks into depth-memory while the interviewer belonging to distracted breed of the modern kind casually interrupts his reminiscence and reflection by shifting his focus to more commonplace things of lesser consequence. This indeed is felt by great actors, by film directors when they try to level depth-differences in personality of players to arrive at a seamless presentation of performance. In everyday life this is hidden in commonplace talk based in the same frame of time and place but in reminiscence becomes apparent when individuals are mind-located differently. This, perhaps, is also the reason why communication is so rare in this world of easy misunderstanding, egotistical personalised interpretation based on insufficient sympathy that fails to connect and huge differences in historical positioning and perspective. But above all, to return to roots, it is this difference in depth of personality that creates this communication gap, this unbridged difference in feeling, as in love, as in conversation, as in going down memory lane in interviews of men steeped in the past. Bridging differences is good, but must it come at the cost of loss of the real that lives in the silent chambers of the heart where chamber music is still on?

1. When there is a trace of ego, there cannot love be. And where there is a trace of ego, can there love be?
2. আজকের কলরব কি কাল শান্ত হবে, নাকি কালে শান্ত হবে যখন মানুষ বহুসংখ্যক সভ্য হবে ? বর্বরযুগের হিংস্রতা আজও নব নব নখদন্তে বিকশিত সভ্যতার মোড়কে | কালক্রমণে বিবর্তনের সংঘটনেই কি এর অন্ত ? আর কত রক্তপাত করবে মানুষ মানুষের সভ্যতার দোহাই দিয়ে ?
3. Lying has become commonplace as cheating has been. Basic values are all gone down the drains. People casually keep not truth.
4. Love is like a river flowing upwards to source.
5. Everything except Brahman is in motion. Motion is the law of life. Hence, charaiveti!
6. ভারত বিকশিত হবে আপনি বিকশিত হলে | ঠাকুর-মা-স্বামীজী সে পথ দেখিয়ে গেছেন | তাঁদের পদাঙ্ক অনুসরণ করেই ভবিষ্যৎ ভারতের উত্থান, মাত্র বাণিজ্যিক বুদ্ধি বাড়িয়ে নয় | বৈশ্য যুগ বটে কিন্তু ব্রাহ্মণত্ব, ক্ষত্রিয়ত্ব বর্জন করে, এই দুই বর্ণকে অপমান করে নয় | প্রকৃত ব্রাহ্মণত্বের বিকাশের দ্বারা, ক্ষাত্রবীর্যের প্রকাশের দ্বারা, বৈশ্যবুদ্ধির প্রক্ষালনের দ্বারা এবং শুদ্রোদ্ধারের দ্বারা, অর্থাৎ, অলিখিত চতুর্বণের সাম্যস্পন্দনের দ্বারা নতুন ভারত সূর্যালোকে প্রস্ফুটিত হবে নবপুষ্পসম | বিকশিত হোন ঘরে ঘরে সেই প্রস্ফুটিত পুষ্পরূপে |
7. এই ভেজালের যুগে গুণীজনের সমাদর নেই, না আছে তাঁদের গুণের কদর | এখন নিম্নমেধার রমরমা |
8. বাঙালীর মধ্যে সনাতন শ্রদ্ধা ফিরিয়ে আনতে হবে | বড় বেশি বুদ্ধির বিড়ম্বনায় ভুগছে ভ্রষ্ট বঙ্গব্রাহ্মণ | ঠাকুর বলতেন, "কাক বড় চালাক কিন্তু বিষ্ঠা খেয়ে মরে |" সেইরূপ পরিণতি যেন আধুনিক বাঙালীর না হয় | ইয়ং বেঙ্গল থেকে মার্ক্সবাদ ঘুরে এবার বাঙালীর ঘরে ফেরার পালা শুরু হোক | রামকৃষ্ণ-বিবেকানন্দ গন্তব্যস্থল | সেইদিকে চরৈবেতি !
9. The current education system is a conspiracy, unconscious though and unconscious indeed, to keep students under the thraldom of Nature to survive as slaves and die as such.
10. ঠাকুরের আদর্শ ছিল 'টাকা মাটি, মাটি টাকা |' আজকের এই ঘোর বৈশ্যযুগে, যখন লোভরূপ তৃতীয় রিপু বিশ্বমানবকে আক্রান্ত করেছে, তখন ঠাকুরের বাণীটি স্মরণ করা আশু কর্তব্য ও তা পালন করা ততধিক |
11. আজ চরিত্রের বড় অভাব | সর্বত্র বাণিজ্য, এমনকি তথাকথিত আধ্যাত্মিক জগতেও | স্বামীজী বলেছিলেন, "Religions of the world have became lifeless mockeries. What the world wants is character." সময় এসেছে তাঁর বাণীর অনুধ্যানের | এতেই ভারতের উত্থান, এতেই জগতকল্যাণ |
12.
বিন্দু হতে বিচ্ছুরণ,
বিন্দুতেই পুনর্মিলন |
13. Serve the Hindus by way of religious charity but do not convert them to Islam or Christianity and deculturalise them. That is SIN.
14. ভাল জিনিস নেবার লোক নেই | তাই গুণীজনের এত অনাদর |
15. As the candle burns out, there isn't a room illuminated yet. In futility is life spent chasing wild dreams while the icy chill of the final hour draws near. As yet the flickering flame hasn't died, the rushing breeze daring it equally with life and death. Who knows what shall chance?
16. স্বামীজীর বাণী পড়ে দেশ জাগুক |
17. ISKCON has zeal. This sort of missionary zeal Swamiji wanted in his followers. Let us have it. That is service to Mother.
18. Instead of giving emojis can readers not respond with creative commenting, pertinent observations on a post?
19. If you want your spiritual movement to spread, be unapologetic about it and propagate your ideas with courage of conviction.
20. We have to deluge the world with spirituality. Chant incessantly and spread the vibration. No apologies will do. Live the life. Speak with authority.
21. রামকৃষ্ণদেবকে প্রচার করতে গেলে রামকৃষ্ণদেবের বাণী অক্ষরে অক্ষরে পালন করতে অন্তত যথার্থ চেষ্টা করতে হবে | রামকৃষ্ণদেবের বাণীকে নিজেদের সুবিধামত কেটে ছেঁটে ব্যবহার করলে রামকৃষ্ণদেবকে প্রচার করা যাবে না | সে প্রচেষ্টা ব্যর্থ হবে | এবং অধুনা তাই হচ্ছে | অতএব, ঘরে ফেরার দিন এসেছে | ঠাকুর অপেক্ষমান দক্ষিণেশ্বরের দ্বারপ্রান্তে |
22. সরলতার অভাবে মানুষ কষ্ট পাচ্ছে | অবতারপুরুষের বাক্য সরলভাবে মনেপ্রাণে গ্রহণ করলেই শান্তি |
23. Spread Ramakrishna-Vivekananda literature with zeal. Chant the Holy Name to bliss and inspire others to do so.
24. Too much immersion in material work is spiritually baneful.
25. This world is on fire. And Swamiji's words are fire as well. They fire up minds to douse the worldly fire and render the human divine.
26. Human civilisation has been built on blood.
27. সঠিক বাংলা শিখুন | সঠিক বাংলা লিখুন | সঠিক বাংলা বলুন | হিন্দুস্তানি বাংলা চাই না |
28. 
Srila Prabhupāda's Guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvati Thākur, who had commissioned his disciple Abhaycharan (later Prabhupāda) to carry the message of the Gauriya Vaishnava version of the Vedas to the West. Prabhupāda set sail in 1965 at the age of 69 and over the next 12 years circumvented the world 14 times to spread the Vaishnava spiritual message, in the process publishing 80 volumes of spiritual literature translated into 30 languages, establishing Krishna temples across the globe and founding a spiritual community called the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) with its unique Vedic way of community living, an entirely revolutionary societal order in this modern materialistic age. Prabhupāda passed away in 1977 but his message persists as does his order of Vaishnavas, monastics and novitiates which continues to propagate Krishna's life and pastimes to humanity at large with a missionary zeal missing among other Hindu religious orders.
29. If such a poor response comes to Swamiji's sayings, then we, Hindus, are in a decadent spiritual state indeed.
30. যত সব বাজে পোস্টগুলোতে লোকে লাইক দেন | ভাল পোস্টগুলোর কোনো কদরই নেই | লঘুচিত্ত সমাজ !
31. চাই চরিত্র |
32. বাংলাদেশের হিন্দুদের পাশে দাঁড়ান | নইলে আর কিসের হিন্দুত্ব ?
33. কিছু লোক আছে যারা কাজের কাজ কিছুই করে না ঠাকুর-স্বামীজীর বাণীপ্রচারে কিন্তু খোঁচা মারে আর মেলা জ্ঞান দেয় | এদের গন্তব্যস্থানে পত্রপাঠ প্রেরণ করি |
34. চিন্ময়কৃষ্ণ দাসের অবিলম্বে মুক্তি চাই | মিথ্যা মামলা করে ক্ষুদিরামের চট্টোপাধ্যায়কে একদিন দেড়ে গ্রামের জমিদার ফাঁশিয়েছিলেন | তার ফল যুগাবতারের আবির্ভাব তাঁর ঘরে | আজ আবার সেই সনাতন ধর্মসঙ্কট | তাহলে কি ঠাকুরের পুনরাবির্ভাব আসন্ন ? চিন্ময়কৃষ্ণ দাস কি সেই 'পরিত্রাণায় সাধুনাং বিনাশায় চ দুষ্কৃতাং' এর অধুনা নিদর্শন ?
35. How many different ways to approaching God! All pure roads lead to Home because the Self is the same in all. Impurity fails though inevitably. There is no room for impurity in spirituality.
36. Unbelievably low response to 'Swamiji's sayings'. Didn't expect it at all. Swamiji seems to be dead for devotees. Nonetheless, my crusade will continue in all its Vedantic blaze even if the wilfully blind will not see it.
37. Spread the message of Swamiji zealously. This is important, to understate it.
38. We must fire up the world, nothing short of that. Ours is to send galvanic shocks through the world, ignite men's minds with the blaze within. The world is dying. There is no time to waste in idle pursuits. Those that will, let them. Thou, come along, friend, and join the movement to save the world. Swamiji is our general, we the infantry, insignificant alone but potent in our collective might. Arise and spread the gospel that the Master and his anointed Apostle have freshly brought to our sinking world. Spread the message, bring home what the Christmas call 'the good news'.
39. জাগো অনন্তবীর্যে, জাগো !
40. The goal is to see God and the method is to serve all as embodiment of the Divine.
41. Are we men? No, we are gods on earth, as yet largely unaware of our divinity. But some of us have awakened. And we must send forth the clarion call to all. The thrill of God-realisation none can resist Only the necessary lapse of time must cover up all earthly lapses and deliver the deal divine.
42. Genuine optimism comes from tremendous self-belief which in turn springs from at least a semblance of perception of the Self. Netaji had this sort of undying optimism which kept him going despite the gravest of odds pitted against him by friend and foe alike. And that immeasurable love for the motherland that he bore and which he embodied.
43. Sri Ramakrishna is the hope of humanity. His all-embracing love will conquer. All opposition will be overcome. The world will capitulate before his boundless love. His Age has but begun. But his mission shall seek fresh channels under diverse garbs, even not bearing his name but in fulfilment of his ideals. Sri Ramakrishna is God. Can God be limited to one mission? His mission is one, that of spiritualisation of the whole of humanity within evolutionary bounds. And his missions are many in terms of individuals and organisations channeling his ideas and ideals, his energy derivatives through diverse modes and means. Ramakrishna is coming alive in the masses and we are thrilling to its dewy efflorescence.
44. Miracles are all material. They do not prove the existence of God or that the miracle-monger is at all spiritual. These are yogic powers quite easily attainable through a bit of spiritual practice but these lead the spiritual aspirant away from the divine destination, the spiritual goal of God-realisation.
45. The way Srila Prabhupāda spread Sanātan spiritual culture across the world, no other Hindu preacher has done thus far barring the prime mover of the movement in Swami Vivekananda. Prabhupāda's movement has been all-comprehensive in its civilisational sweep despite its philosophical outreach on account of its sectarian attitude being rather limited. But there has been for once an unapologetic attitude in propagating the Vedic Dharma without suiting it to western convenience. The westerners have appreciated this Hinduness more than the quasi-Hindu, quasi-westernised version of it propagated by other reputed spiritual organisations.
46. It is so difficult to start a significant spiritual movement. Srila Prabhupāda did it. He literally conquered the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of western youths and transformed their lives, reorienting them along Vedic lines unapologetically unlike the monks of some other reputed spiritual organisations who cannot but pander to the vanities of the West and present a refashioned western variety of Hindu spirituality. Prabhupāda's undiluted Vedic presentation left a deep impress on the disillusioned chaotic youth of the sixties and the seventies of the last century and brought forth a movement the like of which no predecessor or successor of Prabhupāda has ever before or since managed. When a man lives upto what he preaches sincerely and without apology, he creates waves in the world which no worldly apology of spiritual preachers can achieve. Prabhupāda was unsuccessful in impressing the western intelligentsia but, that apart, he did sway vast numbers to the Sanātan Vaishnav fold through his life and teachings in the West. He gave them a new civilisation, the Sanātan civilisation of eternal India, whose appeal became irresistible for the West sinking in the mire of materialism and gasping for a breath of fresh air.
47. Keep doing good work and all evil will fall away. Evil persists not where good prevails.
48. The life of slumber is limited. The awakening must come.
49. To serve the spiritual cause one must literally obliterate one's ego. Thereafter naturally all desire for name and fame, recognition and honour will fall off.
50. A great spiritual movement is in the offing. The seeds are sown. Fruition is at hand. The world will be swept away in its tide. Vivekananda is on the way. And Krishna-Vivekananda is the Way.
51. Austerity is necessary. In its absence people cannot be influenced spiritually.
52. তপঃপ্রভাবেই সম্ভব আধ্যাত্মিক জনজাগরণ |
53. স্বামীজীর বাণী প্রচারে সহায়তা করুন | বর্তমান পৃথিবীর ভীষণ পরিস্থিতে স্বামীজীর ভাব বিশ্বজুড়ে ছড়ানো একান্ত আবশ্যক | আমরা কয়েকজন এই কাজে সম্মিলিতভাবে নেমেছি | আপনারা একইভাবে সকলে আসুন |
54. With single-minded dedication spread Swamiji's message. Do not stray hither and thither. Focus 100%. Victory shall be ours.
55. নিজেকে ভুলে যিনি স্বামীজীর বাণী প্রচার করবেন, তাঁর ওপর অবশ্য ঠাকুর-মায়ের আশীর্বাদ অজস্রধারে বর্ষিত হবে |
56.
kripa = grace
Gurukripa = Gurugrace
57. কল্যাণ হোক ! কল্যাণ হোক ! কল্যাণ হোক ! সমস্ত জগতের কল্যাণ হোক !
58. মনের গহনে আনন্দ |
59. শান্ত মন আনন্দের আবাস |
60. নিরহঙ্কার মন শান্ত---শান্তির স্থল |
61. বল্গাবিহীন মন বিষয়বিক্ষেপকারী | সুসংহত মন আত্মাভিমুখী, আনন্দদায়ী |
62. World civilisation must be a fusion of the best elements of every culture, not their worst. And western predominance must not be.
63. Seek strength, not dominance. When strength seeks dominance, it degenerates. Vice pollutes power.
64. যে সমাজ চিন্তার মূল্য দেয় না, সে সমাজ নেমে যায় | যে ব্যক্তি চিন্তার অবমাননা করেন, সে ব্যক্তি ক্রমে অসংস্কৃত হয়ে পড়েন |
65. He who neglects thought, sinks in culture. And that is degeneration.
66. Human civilisation is the product of thought and labour.
67. The only way to secure India is to secure Hinduism. Conversion of Hindus must be stopped at any rate.
68. Each and every child must be built up into a valorous soldier of the nation.
69. Hindu upper caste population, especially Bengalee, is drastically declining. A generation hence extinction looms large. Awake! 🕉
70. The way Deepanjan Mitra, Ujjal Kumar Ghosh, Riya Bhattacharya and Deepanwita Das are helping me spread 'Swamiji's sayings' needs to be noted and emulated by devotees of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda at large. This is called commitment. However, even this is not enough. Much more needs to be done. There are others as well but they are relatively more feeble in their participation.
71. দয়া করে নিছক নেতিবাচক মন্তব্য করে সময় নষ্ট করবেন না, শক্তিক্ষয় করবেন না | হিন্দুর জাগরণের কাজে সহায়তা করুন |
72. সংহতিই শক্তি | ঐক্যবদ্ধ হোন | সামনে সমূহ বিপদ | হিন্দুর অবলুপ্তিতে ভারত তথা বিশ্বের সর্বনাশ সাধন হবে | জাগুন | রুখে দাঁড়ান |
73. উচ্চবর্ণ বাঙালী হিন্দুর জন্মের হার বাড়ানো আজ সবচেয়ে বেশি প্রয়োজন | নইলে বঙ্গ সংস্কৃতি তথা ধর্মের সর্বনাশ হবে | পরিশেষে বাঙালী হিন্দু বিলুপ্ত হবে |
74. Hinduism must be ardently practised and boldly preached. Tremendous missionary zeal is necessary. We must conquer the world spiritually. And all Hindus who have largely by force been perverted from their faith to Islam over fourteen centuries must be brought back to the Mother Faith. Not a single more conversion from Hinduism to Islam and Christianity ought to take place. The solidarity of the motherland, already partitioned and weakened, demands it.
75. Happy is the man who abides in the Self.
76. Fanatics always pick up followers.
77. It is our duty to rapidly spread Swamiji's message and with unbounded zeal. Let some leonine souls help me in this noble endeavour which is the crying call of the hour as it is imperative for our civilisational survival. Upon our unity depends our strength to defend ourselves and upon our zeal to conquer the world spiritually depends our chance of organic survival. If Sanātanis are gone, how will the Sanātan Dharma live? Who will be its carriers? Therefore I exhort strong souls to stand in solidarity with me in this 'Project Prachāram' (Project Propagation). 🕉 Hindu!
78. দেবীর আবির্ভাবে সাহসের সাথে স্বধর্মরক্ষায় ব্রতী হোন |
79. আমি বাংলাদেশের সমস্ত হিন্দুর সাথে আছি | 🕉 হিন্দু !
80. জগত মিথ্যা কিন্তু donationটি সত্য | ওটি চাই, বাবা | বেশ বেদান্তবিচার !
81. আজ মহালয়া | দেবীপক্ষের শুভ সূচনায় বাংলাদেশের বীর হিন্দু সন্ন্যাসী চিন্ময়কৃষ্ণ দাসের নিঃশর্ত মুক্তির দাবী পুনরায় তুললাম |
82. দেশের চরিত্র নষ্ট হয়ে গেছে | তাই দেশ ধর্মহীন | এখন ঠাকুরের পুনরাবির্ভাবের প্রয়োজন | তাতে যদি দেশ জাগে | স্বামীজীর বাণীর প্রভূত প্রচারে দেশের গতি ফিরতে পারে | কিন্তু করে কজন ? আপনি আসুন নিজে থেকে এই শুভ কাজে অংশ নিতে |
83. দুঃখ যাদের, তাদের সুখ হোক | শোকাহত শান্তি পাক | পতিত উদ্ধার পাক | দিব্য সত্তা জাগ্রত হোক | দিব্য আনন্দে ভাসুক যে দুঃখের সাগরে নিমজ্জিত এ যাবৎ | জীবন মধুময় হোক |
84. Teaching spiritual things in the simplest manner possible is what appeals to the common mass of humanity. But the standard must not be lowered. The ideal must be strictly adhered to. The message must not be diluted with worldly compromise. And, above all, character must be manifested in the teacher, in the preacher, that radiant being made to shine through the gross cover of the body, that electric personality made manifest that is not only the conduit of higher ideas but is also the embodied validation of the spiritual principles preached. But through all such abstruse principles preached the simplicity of the highest truth of God must not be lost sight of nor emphasised any less than than the most.

90. Coined word: ALTERNYM meaning ALTERNATIVE NAME.
91. Seek God in the midst of your heart ❤️. There at its glowing core He abides.
92. The sign of spiritual growth is the manifestation of manliness. A sustained effeminacy is symptomatic of spiritual weakness.
93. Man is sustained by love.
94. Love is the governing principle of life.
95. Love is God.
96. A strong voice, a strong arm we need at this critical hour when the demonic forces are arrayed against the divine and need destruction. Mother will not protect this time but Mother's children must combine to save civilisation from pure evil that threatens to annihilate all that are serene and sublime. Mother remains the inspiration, the power behind.
97. রাস্তাও রং করা যায় ? কত রঙ্গ দেখালি মা !
98. We, Hindus, are not idolators. We are the worshippers of all forms and the formless. We are devotees divine.
99. If the Goddess has taught us anything it is to fight the evil-doers and eliminate evil.
100. Intense love for all must not mean that we have to patronise evil ideology or the evil-doers.
THE VOICE OF TRUTH
THE VOICE OF TRUTH
We want a voice of authority and not apology, one who can stamp his authority on what he says, his authority stemming from experience and lived truth rather than truth read in books but unverified in experience. There must be power in his affirmations, a thunderous roll in his remarks that does not pander to the vanities of society, does not bow down to political or religious authority but hammers out truth as it happened, as it is happening and as it is in essence. No compromise, no apology, simply the truth pouring out like volcanic lava to metamorphose society unto a higher order of terrestrial and ethereal existence.

REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'

REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'
.jpg)
How can one rest in peace when the swinging pendulum unceasing ticks time and atoms keep rolling to congregate and dissolve? Is there any rest anywhere save in final liberation when the fetters have fallen, the universe has melted away, God has died and Man awakened to his undying Being in his own Godhead when he witnesses his Self as the God he had always sought? Till then how can rest be? How peace? How 'Rest in peace'? Does life cease in a single stroke that peace shall irrational follow? It is not a single season that makes the year nor a lone lifetime that composes corporeal existence. The Abrahamic religions are wrong, far far off the mark in their estimation of truth. Thus the fanciful 'Rest in peace'. There is no peace in Phenomena, Māyā. Peace alone abides in the Absolute, the Brahman.
