WHY LEFTIST IDEOLOGY APPEALS TO THE YOUTH ... 1
WHY LEFTIST IDEOLOGY APPEALS TO THE YOUTH ... 1
Young people easily get attracted to leftist idealism because of the corrupt capitalism with all its repulsive consumerism that pervades society today. College campuses and university arena where young minds interact intellectually and professors with leftist leanings influence the way they think are full of this leftist ideology. Marx has provided the foundational texts, the theory with all its detailed analyses and trappings thereof for young minds to find food for their youthful idealism. The romanticism of revolution to bring about a just world order is far more appealing to the youth of substance than the crass commercial culture that lesser minds fall for. The call for justice being fundamental to the evolving human species, it holds the youth in its grip till middle-age experience dispels these early notions as they settle into the comfort zones of their respective lives. Those that fail to make their mark remain bitter about life and persist with their leftist allegiance out of conditioned conservatism in this line of thinking or become cynics of no consequence. But Marx and his ilk catch fresh recruits as the sub-generations that follow fall prey to the same line of youthful idealistic thinking and go through the same experience. Marx motivates them in youth but fails to provide an alternative way of effective transformation of society. So, ideology notwithstanding the leftists compromise themselves with the capitalist order, money, comfort, luxury et al, all the while harbouring distant hopes of the Marxist millennium which keep their ego in pampered fine shape even as their lives roll on with all the amenities at their disposal which academic attainments can buy. Many of these youths mature with Marxist thinking amd keep shaping their next generation in like thinking, passing the baton, as they say, from generation to generation, their nursery ever being college campuses and university arena.

KALI THE MOTHER [P.S. by Sugata Bose]
KALI THE MOTHER
The stars are blotted out,
The clouds are covering clouds,
It is darkness vibrant, sonant.
In the roaring, whirling wind
Are the souls of a million lunatics
Just loose from the prison-house,
Wrenching trees by the roots,
Sweeping all from the path.
The sea has joined the fray,
And swirls up mountain-waves,
To reach the pitchy sky.
The flash of lurid light
Reveals on every side
A thousand, thousand shades
Of Death begrimed and black —
Scattering plagues and sorrows,
Dancing mad with joy,
Come, Mother, come!
For Terror is Thy name,
Death is in Thy breath,
And every shaking step
Destroys a world for e'er.
Thou "Time", the All-Destroyer!
Come, O Mother, come!
Who dares misery love,
And hug the form of Death,
Dance in Destruction's dance,
To him the Mother comes.
Composed by Swami Vivekananda in 1898 in Srinagar, Kashmir
[P.S. by Sugata Bose :
Mother seeks our blood in dreadful deed, in Her sword severing our head. That is the purport of the poem which threw Swamiji into a death-defying transport culminating in he being completely overpowered by the frightful emotion flooding his being as the Mother in Her terrible aspect appeared before him. This poem of epic fury of the Mother depicted marks a radical departure from the soft and gentle worship of the Mother in Her homely aspect where 'ma ma hingsi' is invoked. This is the worship of the warrior who offers his head by way of love for the Mother and seeks not even immortality in return. It is a case of absolute giving careless of return, sacrifice of self at the scaffold where Mother waits with Her arms raised to sever head from form. 🕉 Hindu!]

SPREAD VIVEKANANDA, SAVE THE WORLD---LET THIS BE THE MISSION
SPREAD VIVEKANANDA, SAVE THE WORLD---LET THIS BE THE MISSION
Ramakrishna Mission, spread Vivekananda in the world. The world is burning. Must Swamiji's message wait? Send missionaries across the world, far, far more than you have till date, to rapidly propagate Swamiji. Annihilation is in the offing. Can you not see? Or, are you waiting for another Swamiji to be born to do what Swamiji had expected you to do? Must you frustrate him so?
I reiterate. Ramakrishna Mission, spread Vivekananda in the world without delay. The world is near a precipice. Can you not see with your sage's eyes? What is apparent to us, is it escaping your vision cone? We are powerless individuals with neither resource nor support but you are an organisation potent enough, rich in resources, spiritual and material, who can do the needful. Must you fail to fulfil your founder's aspiration?
I know you have done enough and are even now doing so. But can you afford to be complacent when the world is facing destruction on so many counts, principal among which is greed?
From environmental crisis to the threat of nuclear holocaust, from political powerplay among nations to perfidious proselytism of faiths, the insatiable appetite of man to dominate fellow men, of the strong to tyrannise the weak, of the privileged to preserve position by ruthless exploitation of the dispossessed---these have driven civilisation to the brink of destruction. Can you wait to witness the final act of man's insanity then?
Spread Vivekananda, the anointed of the Avatār, the Apostle premier infused with the spirit of his divine Master, the soul destined to save the world from this crisis. Make his literature free for the readers online. Upload them all online for free. Forget about selling books. Now serve free this literature to all and sundry. The funds will come as they have always come. Let this massive movement begin right away. So, onward! Charaiveti!
May the Holy Trinity of Thakur-Ma-Swamiji bless the Mission in this grand missionary endeavour! 🕉 Hindu!

MAY THE MASTER COME ALIVE IN OUR WORLD THAT IS FALLING APART---LET THIS BE THE MISSION ZEALOUSLY PURSUED
MAY THE MASTER COME ALIVE IN OUR WORLD THAT IS FALLING APART---LET THIS BE THE MISSION ZEALOUSLY PURSUED
It is time now to propagate widely with intense missionary zeal the life and message of Sri Ramakrishna. When Swami Vivekananda had visited America in the last decade of the nineteenth century it was not expedient for him to preach his spiritual master's life as the times were not right. The West had a poor idea of India then and would not be able to grasp the depth and divinity of the Ramakrishna-personality. They would immediately compare him to Christ unfavourably and miss the significance of the modern master's life and message. It was thus deemed best by Swamiji to shelve his Master's personality for the while and awaken a sense of respect, even reverence, for the philosophy of eternal India which in course of time would prepare the West for receiving the great spiritual masters of India in the right reverential spirit. Accordingly, he had but spoken of his Master before his students and western disciples in private classes and had publicly delivered but one lecture in two sessions on Sri Ramakrishna titled 'My Master'.
Decades passed and in the 1960s Srila Abhaycharanāravinda Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda preached the personality of Krishna and Chaitanya before a radically altered common western audience with magical success. Thus began the ISKCON movement which spread like wildfire across the world. But the Ramakrishna Mission did not budge from the earlier stand taken by their founder and continued generally to teach the Vedānta to its western audiences, hardly altering course ever to massively preach the Master's life.
Today Krishna and his Bhagavadgitā are more well-known in the West than Ramakrishna and 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'. The Ramakrishna Mission simply have not taken to spreading the life or the message of the Master with the missionary zeal that Swami Vivekananda had expressed in an interview with a western newspaper was his essential intent.¹ A century and a quarter has rolled on since that day and it is time indeed for course-correction. May the Mission spread the life and message of the Master with the missionary zeal that Swamiji had expected them to do but at which they have terribly failed him!

REAWAKENING OF HINDUISM ON A NATIONAL BASIS
(Prabuddha Bharata, September, 1898)
In an interview which a representative of Prabuddha Bharata had recently with the Swami Vivekananda, that great Teacher was asked: "What do you consider the distinguishing feature of your movement, Swamiji?"
"Aggression," said the Swami promptly, "aggression in a religious sense only. Other sects and parties have carried spirituality all over India, but since the days of Buddha we have been the first to break bounds and try to flood the world with missionary zeal."
ONWARD UNTO BATTLE THEN!
ONWARD UNTO BATTLE THEN!
Let forces be balanced. Pull in your ploughsgare of life's labour to fulfil this grand mission. Upon your work rests the future of humanity. It is to counter ignorance that generates evil that this mission must be accomplished. Let us deliver our best in utter detachment so that results adverse do not dishearten us, mission failed umpteen number of times does not discourage us to plunge in this war of attrition once more. Victory shall be ours, for truth ever triumphs, it being embedded as principle premier in the fabric of phenomena whose foundation is Life and Truth. The clarion call has been sounded by Krishna in Dvāpar and in this modern age just the other day by Swamiji. Let us plunge in and die game if need be but let us war on against the forces of primeval evil now manifesting as man's predatorial instincts gone berserk.

REFLECTIONS ... 2
REFLECTIONS ... 2
Once a bad habit sets in, it has to be painstakingly counteracted. Otherwise, character is destroyed. Truthfulness and verbal commitment are two such attributes that are best cultivated from early childhood. Else, they never become part of a person's personality. In the absence of fidelity to truth everything is in due course lost, beginning with spiritual consciousness and the possibility of liberation in life. However, materialistic people are not bothered about liberation as they live as the body instead of in it and care not for anything beyond the fleeting pleasures of life and all that are necessary for their fulfilment which they pompously term duty, obligation, work et al. But this is all in ignorance perceived and pronounced and is far removed from truth.

WE ARE IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION AS A SPECIES
WE ARE IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION AS A SPECIES
We need trees, trees, plenty of trees, forests, vegetation in superabundance. Only then may we survive in a world made hostile towards ourselves by our very selves. We have injured the planet, abused and degraded it for our degraded sense enjoyment. We have upset the delicate balance upon which life thrives and it now for us to restore it if we wish to live on. Else, extinction stares us in the face.
Towards the end of his life Einstein had remarked that the human species would not be completely annihilated in a nuclear holocaust. It, should it happen, would consume two-thirds of humanity. The great man however said that humanity might not survive environmental degradation, though, which could be the likely cause of its ultimate end. These were wise words issuing from the lips of one of the great minds of all time and we ought to heed them and adopt measures that would thwart such a catastrophic end to our beautiful species for all its faults and failures thus far.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 143
MESSAGES GALORE ... 143
1. Marx wanted to liberate humanity from the shackles of capitalism by imposing a worse tyranny of the party on them. But the worst tyranny of all was the materialistic ideology he thrust on man which his followers have ever since adhered to and abided by like gospel truth despite the advances of knowledge pointing to its glaring deficiencies. Marxism which abhors religion, considering it opium for mankind, has itself in being rigidly doctrinaire become a Godless religion.
2. Swamiji wanted the 'Udbodhan' to become in due course a daily to be distributed free a hundred thousand copies in the streets of Kolkata. His wish can easily be fulfilled online today. But the Ramakrishna Mission thinks otherwise. Why not fulfil the founder's fervent wish if you are true followers of his? In it lies the good of Kolkata, Bengal, India and the world in sequential progression. Is anybody of significance listening?
3. Swamiji remains the undying inspiration for me. Is he not the same for you as well? Let us read him daily, read into his thoughts, reflect on them, let them run through our system and thereon let us translate them into life-giving action for humanity. In it lies salvation for the individual and the aggregate. 🕉 Hindu!
4. I am convinced that if a person reads Swamiji diligently for an unbroken stretch of twelve years, he will be a realised soul. Begin!
5. সাধুর পরিত্রাণ, দুষ্টের বিনাশ ও ধর্মসংস্থাপনের পুনঃপ্রয়োজন আজ | অবতারের আবির্ভাব আসন্ন |
6. বিধান রায়ের মৃত্যুর পর থেকে পশ্চিমবঙ্গের সর্বনাশ শুরু হয়েছে | আজও তা অব্যাহত | বর্তমান সরকারের দিকে তাকিয়ে আছি আমরা | পারবে কি এই অধোগতি রোধ করতে ?
7. Sattva is bliss. The sattva must be built up in the system to feel the pulsations of genuine spirituality.
8. Happy Independence Day to all my friends and family members across the world! Feel the fresh air of freedom.
9.
The fair face of freedom fouled by foes all along even unto this day.
10. A strong will must be tempered with a soft love. Else, tyranny is often the terrible consequence.
11. আজ ১৬ই অগস্ট, শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণের মহাসমাধির দিবস আর মহানগরীর বুকে জিন্নাহ-সুরাওয়র্দির ষড়যন্ত্রে কয়েক হাজার নিরীহ হিন্দুর বলিদান দিবস |
12. Communication is the very life of life itself.
13.
Architects of the Great Calcutta Killing, 16 August, 1946, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy who has rightly been called the Butcher of Bengal.
14.
ঠাকুরের অন্ত্যলীলার পুণ্যক্ষেত্র কাশীপুর উদ্যানবাটী | আজকের দিনে ১৮৮৬ সালে ঠাকুর লীলাসংবরণ করেন |
15. Let none forget the horrors of the genocide of Hindus on this day, 16 August, 1946, masterminded by Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy under the express direction of Muhammad Ali Jinnah in their bid to force the Partition of India. It was Gopal Mukherjee whose valiant resistance saved the Hindus from utter annihilation and exodus from Calcutta and so saved Calcutta and West Bengal from precipitating into Pakistan.
16. We gain from you, Mother, and only spend it in the world, remaining oblivious of you all the while.
17. Simpler the English, better the communication. But it must not be shorn of beauty.
18. Aesthetics is paramount in poetry.
19. পঞ্চকৃপায় ভর করে এগিয়ে পড়ুন---ঠাকুর, মা, স্বামীজী, গুরুদেব ও আপনি স্বয়ং | 'আমি'টিকে কিন্তু একা ছাড়বেন না | ওটি নাবালক, নাবালিকা---পথ হারিয়ে ফেলবে | ওকে ওই চারজন অভিভাবকের সাথে সর্বদা রাখুন | শেষে ওঁদের মধ্যেই মিশিয়ে দিয়ে অস্তিমাত্র রক্ষা করে রসাস্বাদন করবেন | দিব্যি চলবে | মনে রাখবেন মহামন্ত্র---'একে পাঁচ, পাঁচে এক |' চরৈবেতি !
20. Bradman is light years ahead of Tendulkar.
21. Hinduism, if it accepts all religions, does so in so far as they are not anti-human which some religions of wide following and wider persecution of the infidel are. Hence, to make such a generalised statement with no caveat attached makes it a puerile pronouncement opposed to truth.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BmdMaKZyN/
22. What is Phenomena? It is the pollution of the Absolute. Mahāmāyā is Brahman in polluted form, the incorruptible assuming corruptible form by admixture of the three gunas.
23. বন্দে মাতরমের অবমাননা হ'ল | আর কতদূর নামবেন এঁরা ? এও কি দেশদ্রোহীতা নয় ?
24. 'বন্দে মাতরমের' অবমাননা হ'ল | আর কত নামবেন এঁরা ? এ কেমন দেশপ্রেম ? এই বুঝি এঁদের দেশাত্মবোধ ? এই নিয়ে দেশের ভাগ্যনির্ধারণ করবেন ? দেশবাসী ক্ষমা করবেন তো ? সাহিত্য সম্রাটের এই রচনা একদিন ভারত তোলপাড় করেছিল বৃটিশের বিরোধীতায় | আর আজ তার এই অপমান ?
25. How many lives get wasted in war, lives that could have advanced civilisation! What tribalism in the name of nationalism still afflicts humanity!
26. PM, CM, RKM, ISKCON, plant trees. Make our motherland green. Clean up the air. That will be Vedic Bhārat.
27. Beautification of the city is fine but maintenance of such initial adornment finer. Here persistence pays but that is seldom seen.
28. In winter Delhi chokes every year. Take precautions now to save the city. How can India be a developed nation by 2047 with this poor attitude towards the environment? What is the environmental policy of the Government? And what is the like policy of the Opposition?
29.
The world needs to be green again.
Then will the sun rise.
Then will it saffron be.
30. Let the heart melt, not the ice-caps.
31.
18 August, the day of Netaji's disappearance. Let India's development give prime importance to the unravelling of this mystery. If not, of what avail is development then? Can ignorance about the fate of our foremost leader be indicative of true development? What about honesty in opening up all secret government files related to Netaji? What about reconsidering the conclusions of the Justice Mukherjee Commission Report and probing further into the matter of Netaji's disappearance till truth be incontrovertibly established without political tampering of evidence or suppression of the same? Fractional release of files is no release. Total disclosure necessary. Let a high-level committee of top Netaji disappearance case experts and researchers be formed by the Government of India and all facilities be afforded them for comprehensive investigation into the matter. Such measures in genuine concern and in utmost sincerity adopted would prove that the Government of India is serious about getting to the bottom of the matter. Else, it will prove them hollow in this regard.
32. B.R.Ambedkar was the only prominent personality of that age who called a spade a spade, sparing neither Mahātmā nor Dīn.
33. London was built on the blood of Bengal. India was plundered to build England. The British Empire was the vilest of all.
34. We must rise to the memory of the greats. And great there have been so many of our motherland's children, literally a surfeit of them. Let us not forget them. In such amnesia lies our prospective precipitation, our civilisational downfall. We must not let that happen. Rather we ought to rise as a race in their reverential memory, fulfilling their aspirations and dreams which the cruel inhibiting conditions of colonial-imperial rule of the exploitative, depredatory British had impeded. Now with freedom gained and our destiny in our own hands to be shaped by our labour of love and light, we must be worthy of their legacy in the rightful sense and carry forward this national carriage unto the glorious future that awaits her.
35.
If it still holds that what Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow, then Bengal should go green and show India the way because a warming world will soon necessitate green action everywhere. Lest Bengal miss the opportunity to prove right Gokhale's characterisation of her, let her go green right away and lead the way. That will be seminal service done yet again by this land of leading lights unto the nation and in turn the world, for exemplary action often leads to like effect.
36. Remaining equipoised at the interface of life, plumb deep into the internal world and probe deep into the external to arrive at the balance of things.

38. Let the Government of India establish a NETAJI SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE UNIVERSITY in the capital city to compete with the JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY of strange dispositions. Let this proposed university dive deep into everything that is Indian and through original research recover everything that has been best and brightest in Indian civilisation. Let this premier place of study be the springboard for the proposed 'Vikasit Bhārat' programme of 2047.
39. Sanātan Dharma is on the rise in America where westerners, now having seen the vanities of vanishing earthly life, are taking to depth-study of the Sanātan shāstras and moulding their lives accordingly. A renaissance is in the making which will sweep the West and usher in a new world civilisation. Meanwhile, what are we doing as legatees of this civilisational heritage?
40. We have to build up national concentration. That is the only way to progress.
41. Greenery. This is wanted. Greenery.
42. The world is burning with heat and hate. Douse the fire, conquer through love.

To communists must be given the credit of defeating fascism. Soviet Russia almost singlehandedly and at an unimaginable cost of human lives halted the advance of Nazi Germany any further than it had done before it pushed Hitler's army back. This tilted the war in favour of the Allies and saved civilisation from the impending scourge of Nazi racial barbarism before the communists themselves cast all pretensions to civilisation aside and unleashed terror on their own proletariat population worldwide.
History witnesses strange twists and turns as it traverses its course hopefully towards a more human destination. As of now, though, rampant capitalism is on the rise with all its concomitant evils, its silent blood-sucking of the masses, its evil imperialistic designs both in commerce and in politics with democracy and human rights and civilisational tall talk providing the perfect ruse for the unbridled exploitation of the weak and the dispossessed. The strong tyrannises the weak, capital and power---naked and noxious, rule with a ruthlessness that revolution aspires to overthrow one day but cannot in a world of radically altered reality. The tussle now is of civilisational supremacy with the Islamic forces at war with the West. The battle goes on.

Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : What one through ignorance had beheld as Matter, now in the light of transcendental Self-experience stands transmuted as the Self itself, the Lord manifest from core to crust as variegated life and light, sentience and insentience rolled into an integrated whole of varying vibration, the symphony of the Soul in its rhythms and rhapsodies, its cascades and courses rendering the rough refined, the fractured whole, the gross glorious and Matter Spirit. Then the thirst for Matter, this trishnā, is quenched forever and Christ's assurance 'Get ye the Kingdom of Heaven and all other things shall be added unto thee' assumes a meaning altogether apart. The vision has changed and with it aspiration. The hunger for Matter, the ravenous appetite of the beast that masquerades as man and despoils brother man, the unquenchable thirst for more and more like fuel to fire added intensifying the flame of forest fertility ever with its gene-driven evolutionary imperatives are nullified forever as the Sun of Knowledge dawns on the human horizon rendering man unto God. And God is pure Spirit. He seeks not Matter, Himself having manifested His Self through Yoga as Matter. Verily, verily has the Rishi equated Matter with Brahman, for the twain have met at last in unitary perception of the essence of things. Now nomenclature hardly matters, call It what you will. The Shāstras call It 'Tat' (pronounced 'Tut'), meaning 'That'. You choose your count. Does it matter anymore? 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Aroup Chatterjee : Read Swami Vivekananda. It will be good for your soul and 'sanskriti'. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Kingshuk Paul : Where did you discover hatred cherished by me if at all hatred is something worth cherishing? I am all love for all irrespective of whether Swamiji or Swamiji's brother was socialist to a degree or communist by declaration and dedication. I am a Vedantist of universal affection, perceiving all as my Self in variegated description and display in multifarious, multitudinous Māyā. 🕉 Hindu!
P.S. Probably you meant 'harbour prejudice and hatred' when you wrote 'cherish prejudice and hatred' if I get you right. Even then I must say that I am prejudiced towards none nor do I harbour hatred towards any. Communists hate non-proletariats though and seek their utter annihilation with repeated instances in history validating their intent. Bhupendranath Datta's fraternal relation with Swamiji cannot alter it. Hence.
Sugata Bose @A Facebook friend : What do you mean? It seems you mistake others' writings to be inspired or copied from yours. Is it? Let it be made very clear that I am creative enough, original in my thinking sufficiently to not require to plagiarise from others as it seems at least that you have implied. Now that is not appreciated by me at all. You have insulted me in the past and I forgave you for that. Now you cast aspersions on me for plagiariaism. Now that is going a bit too far. Such hyper-estimation of your own abilities may to you be warranted but to imagine that I have stooped to such a lowly level as to cheat from you ideas or perspectives, as you put it, is a gross underestimation of my abilities as an original thinker and writer. I hope I have made myself quite clear. Henceforth, think twice before casting casual condemnation on others. My civility need not be misconstrued as inability to defend my position. You are young and talented. So did I feel happy about your gifts and expressed my admiration for them after reading a few of your posts to my literary delight. But it seems that you have entirely misunderstood me right from the beginning with my identity and now with my intent and keep on heaping insults on me. This sort of an allegation has never been made against me because I never borrow from others ideas while writing. I can only tell you that I feel deeply aggrieved, insulted, offended, call It what you will, and will not tolerate such offensive insinuation. 🕉 Hindu!
P.S. This entire comment of mine was made out of a linguistic misapprehension on my part to this gentleman's ambiguous comment to a post of mine which actually was a bit cheeky on his part but not implying this plagiarism charge on me at all. My strong verbal response here was instigated by a disciple of mine for all her supposed 'wisdom' in interpretation of this ambiguous comment of the supposed offender. It was a faux pas in the end.
Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Your own observations are pretty much coarse. The language you often use about cow urine flooding the system of certain individuals is testimony to that irrespective of the fact whether you are an avowed communist or not. You certainly are not civil in your social discourse which was more or less by implication, not on you though, the purport of the post. It seems you are sitting in judgement over others here which is not well received by those upon whom you pass your puerile observations as if with impunity. But now you have received a rejoinder and would be well advised to reform your ways in regard to this casual commenting on others' intent, inclinations and knowledge. Earlier you had caustically asked me as to how I could venture to write on the basis of flimsy knowledge on a subject, yourself assuming omniscience of sorts of course. Each time I ignored you but it seems it is time enough to make you aware that such irreverent remarks are not always well received as ought to become any gentleman of self-respect of sorts. If you are indecent in your use of language, as you have often been thus far, I need not complement you in a like kind in return but surely must make you aware of my annoyance at such misdemeanour on your part. Hope the message has been received well enough for it is loud and clear with no ambiguity whatsoever that could confuse conception except perhaps what minimum decency demands in due delivery. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Your assumptions are puerile and bespeak of latent dictatorial tendencies. How do you suppose that I must be at your beck and call to respond in the manner you want me to? I write copiously for diligent observers to read from them my thoughts. If you fail to do so, the fault, dear Brutus, is in you and not in my refusal to respond to your arbitrary demands. 🕉 Hindu!
P.S. Your sickness and tiredness needs treatment from a physician and not a writer like me. Seek your remedy with the right source and health and vigour shall be yours.
Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Are you in your senses that you arbitrarily level charges of ignorance and malicious half-truth telling on others? Your peculiar divergences from the purport of a post is amusing but highly unintellectual. Henceforth you deserve no response to your uncivil observations, utterly absurd charges and peculiar data-demands. Bless you! 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Biswajit Das : সে তো রেগে গিয়ে বলেন | তা নাহয় বোঝা গেল | কিন্তু জ্ঞানের অহমিকায় যিনি অপরকে মূর্খ আখ্যা দেন, তিনি তো অন্যায় আচরণ করেন | তাঁর অপরকে মূর্খ বলা তো নিজের মূর্খামিরই এক প্রকার পরিচয় দেওয়া |
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Right. But even this use of the word 'right' will irritate the left apart from the fact that I thereby endorse your view. Their vocabulary associates this particular word 'right' with everything that is not right. They are but the 'left' and have rightly been left out of the political discourse in this country as elsewhere in their socialist-communist uniform, uniformly without exception, although like the mutating virus they continue to change colour and operational contour to subvert stable democracies everywhere, aligning with inimical forces while all the while clamouring for human rights and justice, elements of civic life they have ever violated with brutal efficiency in their run regimes across the world for near a century. Sufficient unto the day has been the evil thereof but deluded humanity as yet clings onto this corruption in the hope of utopian salvation here on earth at any cost, literally at any cost, despite displayed humanism and all its ilk in vaunted variegated liberalism, the foggy facade of falsity. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Abir (Meghnad Bose) : যখন ১০ বছর বয়েস (২০০৩), তখন আগ্রা দেখেছিলি | আজ (২০২৬) নাই-আগ্রা (Niagra Falls--New York view) দেখে নিলি | খুব ভাল, খুব ভাল |
Sugata Bose @Swami Shuddhidānanda : Hinduism, if it accepts all religions, does so in so far as they are not anti-human which some religions of wide following and wider persecution of the infidel are. Hence, to make such a generalised statement with no caveat attached makes it a puerile pronouncement opposed to truth.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19ZZppKpzL/
Sugata Bose @AI : Vedantist Sugata Bose does not mimic Vivekananda or Aurobindo. That is a downright aspersion cast on his original style of writing which may incidentally in places resemble the writing styles of those two seminal writers. An apology is due from AI and a rectification in accordance.
Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : An entire book should be written on this 'daughter angle'. It will truly be geomatri, nay, geopitri.
Sugata Bose @Sudipta Sarkar : You should be ashamed of your attitude. You seem to be harbouring a horrendous hatred towards Hinduism. Dare you say the same about Islam openly? Stop speaking of anybody's academic credentials when yours is such pronounced ignorance about the grandeur of this grandest of all religions, the Sanātan Dharma. 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Subrata Chatterjee : No, I guess she (Sonia Gandhi) was signalling that she belongs to the Indian National Congress of 'upraised arm' symbol. She must of late be having some identity crisis and being of a generally fearful disposition as has been testified to by Dr. Subramanian Swamy, a friend of her late husband, perhaps out of sheer nervousness that she was culturally-politically being veritably uprooted by the latter stanzas of the 'Vande Mātaram' of pronouncedly Sanātan flavour, she must have panicked and raised an alarm thus, chair having long gone to nationalistic opponents, precipitating this holding crisis thus. In effect she has delightfully shown her Congress credentials. Advertisers ought to learn lessons from this symbolic display of party colours when in dire distress, and so ought her party members to do the same. At any rate, to these pseudosecular political personalities the 'Vande Mātaram' is anathema from title to totality of composition and rendition thereof. But law is law till law is amended, and Gandhi or Maino or any for that matter must observe it. Period. Vande Mātaram! 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose @Avantika Sen : তুমি একেবারে চোখা জবাব দাও সত্যানুভূতির ওপর ভর করে | দমবার পাত্রী নও কোনো মতে | এই spiritটা দারুণ, ক্ষাত্রবীর্য ভাষায় ও ভাবে | লেখোও খুব সুন্দর | চরৈবেতি ! 🕉 হিন্দু !
Sugata Bose @Sudipto Singharoy : Could not follow what you said. Do you mean to say that these are not Tagore's words? Is truth-telling an exercise in political cheapness in your opinion? And what is the Rajya Sabha connection by the way? Have Tagore's words hurt your political predilection and confounded your understanding of communism in a manner that such irrelevant, irreverent remark has been prompted out of you in desperate self-defence as if, as becomes a drowning man in deep sea that clutches at straw to stay afloat?
Sugata Bose @Bruce Hilliger : Please read the write-up full as it stands expanded and rendered more whole now.
Sugata Bose @Suvam Mukherjee : যীশু তো ভারতীয় যোগীদের শিষ্য | সেই যোগসর্বস্য সনাতন ধর্মের মহিমা সমগ্র Christendomএ ছড়িয়ে পড়ুক |
Sugata Bose @Bhaskar Mukherjee : A world-mover may have also had a materialistic background as in the case of Marx. Moreover, the word 'spiritual' is important as it stands in sharp distinction from being politically religious as in the case of Islam, its founder also having been a world-mover. 🕉 Hindu!

2029 LOOMING LARGE BUT WHICH WAY?
2029 LOOMING LARGE BUT WHICH WAY?
Will it not be tough going for BJP in 2029 unless it radically shifts gear? Anti-incumbency may be massive, now held tightly under carpet. 2024 was a scare. 2029 could be decisive. Time for deep introspection, 'abolition' of sycophancy and narcissism, and adoption of quick rectification measures. Action, not talk, necessary, and genuine sympathy for citizens all, not hobnobbing with the prized and the privileged. Above all, the Prime Minister must learn to visit affected places promptly, afflicted people immediately, address grievances swiftly, and stop linguistic gimmicks and affectation in speech. These will enhance his image immensely.
Decentralisation is also the call of the day. Young voters are not so easily wooed by the personality cult. So, such slogans as 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai' will not work with them. The BJP, despite protestations to the contrary that it is a highly decentralised democratic party unlike the family enterprise that the Congress is, has thus far been projected as the Modi Party, sort of a one-man show. This worked wonders in 2019 but almost ousted the gentleman from power in 2024 before post-poll alliances forged in the wake of the election shock salvaged for the party another term. But the lesson that history sought to teach and that ought to have been learnt was not learnt and the consequence may become evident in 2029.
As yet three years remain for course-correction but who will bell the cat? Sycophants can't. Beneficiaries won't. Critics will not be heard, for like Caesar's was, the left year is deaf and Anthonys on the right will offer assurances that will on the ideas of March backfire. Decius Brutuses and Caius Cassiuses are ready to prompt the precipitation at the feet of Pompey's statue come 2029 and the build-up is on. Modi must take cognisance of these developments instead of happy-harbouring in his bubble. Horse-trading does not work wonders anymore when people are aggrieved, and no amount of media-hype in favour of the ruling dispensation can alter reality on the ground. Three years are as yet time enough but is anybody listening?

HAIL HINDUTVA!
HAIL HINDUTVA!
A strong Hindutva is the best defence for Hindus in a world in which they have been perpetually persecuted, history testifying to well over a millennium. The sad part is that Hindus are even today badly divided on account of intellectual confusion, a terrible lack of historical sense, cowardice in a great many and plain perfidy in precept and practice by leftists who are the self-declared enemies of anything that goes by as religious. And Hindus are preeminently a religious people, spiritual in exceptional individual cases.
It is time to study our persecuted history in detail, understand the manifold causes of our historical enslavement and adopt measures to rectify and remould our lives along the lines laid down by the Rishis, ancient and modern.
Hindus must adopt en masse Hindutva as their line of defence as the Sikhs under the great Guru Gobind Singhji did and reorganised themselves as a martial race capable of adequate self-defence and self-preservation without being invasively aggressive. So must Hindus. And not to forget that the Sikhs did so to protect the Hindus and Hinduism, three of their great Gurus in Arjan Devji, Tegh Bahadurji and Gobind Singhji having suffered martyrdom at the hands of Islamic forces in the process, the Mughals in this case being the carriers of such jihad. Sikhs are Hindus, never forget. Emulate their courage and religious conviction and arise in defence of the Hindus.
Hail Hindutva! 🕉 Hindu! Vande Mātaram!

THE SECOND COMING OF RAMAKRISHNA ... LEAFLET 1 [EDITED AND UPDATED]
THE SECOND COMING OF RAMAKRISHNA ... LEAFLET 1 [EDITED AND UPDATED]
Sri Ramakrishna had prophesied that he would return to this terrestrial plane after residing in his subtle body in the hearts of his devotees for a hundred years. Now, we cannot for sure ascertain the exact date of his prophetic statement and, hence, cannot for sure know exactly when the period of his hundred-year stay in his devotees' hearts would have ended. If it be assumed that even at the latest it is from the date of his demise, then he ought to have returned amongst us in 1986. Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi has said that the Master would return after a hundred years when a lot of white-skinned devotees of his would visit this land. Is it possible then that Thakur was reborn in the year 1986, the year of the 500th birth anniversary of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu when in point of fact thousands of white-skinned Western devotees had flocked to Kolkata and Mayapur in connection with the quincentennial celebrations. True it is that in 1986 Kolkata and Mayapur were literally inundated with Western devotees, Vaishnavas ordained in the ISKCON Movement. It is phenomenal that Holy Mother could have divined that at this time many white-skinned devotees of Thakur would flock even as the likes of Nivedita, Christine and MacLeod were then assembling in Thakur's name. But, surely, Holy Mother could have had no inkling of Mahaprabhu's 500th birth anniversary coinciding with Thakur's 100th year from his great disappearance. And herein lies the significance of her remarkable statement.
Holy Mother has described Thakur in his new incarnation as one dressed in the garb of a Baul with a broken stone-pot in his hand and a hubble-bubble, and walking along the path leading to Bardhamān, oblivious of his surroundings. On the way there would be a boy excreting by the wayside. Clad in the ochre robe and sporting a sizeable beard, Thakur would be walking seemingly endlessly and eating likewise as he trudged along. He would be born once more a Bengali and would appear somewhere in the direction of Bāli and Uttarpārā, two districts to the north-west of Dakshineswar. When Holy Mother had remonstrated that she would under no circumstance come to this Earth again, Thakur had laughingly retorted that she had no way of escaping as the eternal companions of Thakur were all inextricably linked to him even as the stalks of the Kalmi creeper were, and a single tug by him would bring them all to the terrestrial plane with him in his next incarnation. Even Laksmi Didi, Thakur's niece, had said that she would not come even if she were sliced to shreds like tobacco leaves but had met with a similar response.
Swami Saradananda has said that he has heard from primary sources that Thakur would return after the lapse of 200 years and this piece of information he has recorded in his magnum opus biography of the Master, 'Sri Sri Ramakrishna Leela Prasanga' (Sri Ramakrishna the Great Master/Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play). Thus, there is a confusion as to the lapse of time from the last incarnation when the Master will reincarnate himself.
In 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' the Master boldly announces that he will be reincarnated in the Vayu-Kon, a specific direction among the ten directions of the Hindu astronomical system. He says that he has not imparted full knowledge to his disciples as in that case they will refuse to come with him when he reincarnates. Those of his inner circle of devotees will not be liberated as they will have to accompany him when he is embodied again in the Vayu-Kon.
In America one afternoon at Alice Hansbrough's place Swami Vivekananda suddenly brought up this subject and said that he would have to once more come to planet Earth with the Master after a lapse of 200 years. When queried as to why he would have to come just because Sri Ramakrishna had said so, Swamiji said, "You do not know the power of these souls, Madam. When the Master comes, he brings his entourage along."
Swami Vijnānānanda has said that the Master would reincarnate after 100 years and then, and not until then, would his movement rapidly spread. This he said in response to a devotee's query as to why there was such a paucity of spiritual awareness in the world and so much of material meanness despite the fact that the Master had just the other day conducted his terrestrial play. Evidently, this question was asked in the wake of the closure of the First World War.
So from all these accounts it seems that there are two plausible timelines of the Master's reincarnation---100 years and 200 years. Well, 100 years have passed since his death in 1886 and if he has been born in 1986 then he is now 40 years of age and in all probability about to surface among devotees, having done with his lot of spiritual austerities. It is for us then to await his emergence on the human stage sooner or later to bring to it the fruit of his realisations. We anxiously await.

REJECT THESE LEFTIST INTELLECTUALS OF PERFIDIOUS POLITICAL INTENT AND FOLLOW VIVEKANANDA, THE SAGE SUPREME WHO IS 'CONDENSED INDIA'
Leftist atheists---what do they feel for India's Sanātan Dharma/Culture/Civilisation? They are sick people, unpatriotic and hell-bent upon destroying everything that is great and glorious in India's heritage and millennia-old continuing civilisation. We need to study Vivekananda, understand India and keep building it along the lines laid down by him.
Vivekananda was by his own affirmation 'Condensed India'. Rabindranath said to Romain Rolland, "If you wish to know India, study Vivekananda." Eknath Ranade gathered Swamiji's patriotic assertions in the form of a book ['Rousing Call to Hindu Nation'] for us to read them in a compact form and feel inspired unto patriotic activity.
So, youth of India, reject these leftist professors of perfidious political intent and follow Swami Vivekananda who remains to this day your iconic luminous leader.

মর্ত্যলোকের শৃঙ্খল হতে
তখন পাইব ত্রাণ |
শেষ প্রার্থনা
করে তোমা হ'তে
চলে যাব বহুদূর,
অষ্টম সুর !
রচয়িতা : সুগত বসু (Sugata Bose)
