The Kalpataru, it is said, gives to all whatever good or bad they ask for; but SriRamakrishna did not do so. He made clear through that event, the fact of his beinga God-man (Avatar) by bestowing on all, without the slightest discrimination,protection against and freedom from fear.

It was the first day of January 1886. As the Master felt rather well that day, heexpressed a desire to come out of his room at Cossipore Garden and have a walkin the garden for sometime. It was a holiday and householder devotees came oneby one. When the Master came downstairs at three in the afternoon, more thanthirty people were engaged in conversation in the garden under the trees. As soonas they saw him, all got up out of reverence and bowed down to him. Masteraddressed Girish, one of the householder devotees, and said “Giish, you say toone and all everywhere so many things about me (that I am an incarnation of God),what have you seen and understood about me, that you do so?” Girish kneelingdown on the ground near the Master’s feet, said in a choked voice with his handsfolded and face turned upwards, “What more can I say of Him, whose greatnessVyasa and Valmiki could not find words to express?” The Master was charmed atthis utterance of the devoted Girish and blessed all the devotees assembled there“May you all be blessed with spiritual awakening.” Beside himself with love andcompassion for the devotees, hardly had he said those few words when he enteredinto Bhavasamadhi (deep meditation). Those words of profound blessing directlyentered the devotees’ hearts and filled them with bliss. They forgot time and space,and were aware only that out of sympathy for them in their plight, an extraordinaryDivine Being, feeling excruciating pain at their misery had come down to themfrom heaven and called them affectionately to Him for giving protection, like amother sheltering her children against all ills.

Kalpataru Day is thus celebrated at all the centers of Sri Ramakrishna Mathand Mission. It was celebrated at the Hyderabad Math on 1st January 2012.

Ekadasi is a Sanskrit word, which means ‘the eleventh’. It refers to the eleventhday of a fortnight belonging to a lunar month. There are two fortnights in a lunarmonth—the bright and the dark. So, Ekadashi occurs twice in a month, in the brightfortnight and the dark fortnight. The special feature of Ekadashi, as most peopleknow it, is a fast, abstinence from diet. This is how it is usually understood. In Indiait has become a routine to be moderate, if not observe a complete fast on this day.If one observes the Ekadashi fast regularly, Lord Hari is propitiated, all sins aredestroyed, the mind is purified devotion gradually develops love for God becomesintense.

Vaikuntha Ekadasi is an important festival dedicated to Lord Vishnu in theTamil month of Margazhi (December-January). Vaikuntha Ekadesi festival is ofgreat significance at the Tirupati Balaji Temple, Srirangam Sri Ranganatha Templeand at the Bhadrachalam Temple. In Kerala, it is known as Swarga Vathil Ekadashi.The significance of Vaikuntha Ekadasi can be traced back to the Padma Purana.The Purana indicates that Lord Vishnu took the form of ‘Ekadashi’ – female energy– to kill demon Muran. This happened during the month of Margazhi. Impressed by‘Ekadashi,’ Lord Vishnu told her that whoever worships him on this day will reach‘Vaikunta’ (heaven). Like all Ekadasi days, devotees fast on this day and observevigil the whole night. Some people indulge in meditation, Japa and singing of HariKirtan. Rice is avoided during ekadashi days as it is believed that the demon Murafinds a dwelling in the rice eaten on Ekadashi day. It is widely believed that thegates to the heaven open - the Gate of Vaikuntha - on the Vaikuntha Ekadasi day. Itis one of the most auspicious days in Lord Vishnu Temples in South India. The‘Vaikuntha Dwaram’ or ‘the gate to the heaven’ is opened on this day. This is thepassage encircling the innermost sanctum of the Lord. Scores of devotees queueup to pass through the Gate of Vaikuntha in the temples.

SWAMI TURIYANANDA (1863 – 1922)On January 8th Sunday - Swami Turiyananda Jayanti

A few people, there are, who appear to live in this world, but do not really belong here.Swami Turiyananda was one of them. Born in a religious family, of Brahmana parents, on the3rd of January 1863 (just nine days earlier to the advent of Swami Vivekananda), HarinathChattopadhyaya (his premonastic name) was given to much orthodox observances even in hisyounger days. An innate desire for liberation in this very life, kindled by the study of Vedanticworks, brought him to Sri Ramakrishna. The Master through his deep spiritual insight and all-encompassing love, quickly won his heart. Not only that, he soon discovered and destroyedtwo unhealthy trends in his personality — abhorrence of womankind and excessive reliance onself-effort.

After accepting the monastic robes and vows, Harinath became ‘Swami Turiyananda’.His orthodox mental makeup made him undertake long and arduous journeys as an itinerantmonk, and practice severe austerities as also study of the scriptures. Though he had great loveand respect for Swami Vivekananda, he was at first averse to active missionary work. But,Swamiji’s love melted his heart. He accompanied Swamiji to the United States and worked therefor about three years. The Shanti Ashrama in California was practically his creation.

After returning to India he spent his days mostly in austerity and in training the youngergeneration of monks. His burning spirit of renunciation, deep faith in the Divine Mother, andinsight into the intricacies of the scriptures left an indelible impression on everyone that cameinto contact with him. His fortitude and the control he could exercise over his body, wereastonishing.

He left the body on the 21st July 1922.

Teachings

Never pride yourself on your having gained control over the passions. If you do, they willat once raise their heads. Ever pray to Him, ‘O Lord, save me from them’.

Nothing short of complete self-surrender to Him will do. You call Him the Inner Controller(Antharyamin), omniscient, omnipresent, and yet you are afraid to surrender yourself to Him!

Never expect anything from anyone. But always give. Otherwise a sense of dryness willovertake you. But you must not give your mind to anyone. That you must give only to God.

Work done in the spirit of service can lead one as surely to the goal as meditation andjapa.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) was the foremost disciple of Sri Ramakrishna and aworld spokesperson for Vedanta. He was a man with a great spiritual presence and tremendousintellect. During his travels all over India, Swami Vivekananda was deeply moved to see theappalling poverty and backwardness of the masses. He was the first religious leader in India tounderstand and openly declare that the real cause of India’s downfall was the neglect of themasses. The immediate need was to provide food and other bare necessities of life to thehungry millions. For this they should be taught improved methods of agriculture, villageindustries, etc. It was in this context that Vivekananda grasped the crux of the problem ofpoverty in India. His lectures, writings, letters, and poems are published as The CompleteWorks of Swami Vivekananda.

Swami Vivekananda represented Hinduism at the first World Parliament of Religions inChicago in 1893 where he was an instant success. Subsequently he was invited to speak allover America and Europe. Most of the Vedanta Societies, which were founded in America andEurope through the 1930s, can trace their origins directly to Vivekananda or the people whoheard him speak from 1893 through 1900. After his first visit to the West, Swami Vivekanandareturned to India and founded the Ramakrishna Order in 1898.

Some teachings of Swami VivekanandaEducation is the manifestation of perfection already in man.We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the

intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if

you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.Teach yourselves, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see

how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, andeverything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.

They alone live who live for others; rest are more dead than alive.Swamijis birthday, according to English Calendar, is on 12th January and is celebrated as

the National Youth Day all over the country. In 1984, the Government of India declared anddecided to observe the Birthday of Swami Vivekananda as National Youth Day. To quote fromthe Government of India’s Communication, ‘it was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and theideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the IndianYouth.’

As per the Indian Almanac, Vivekananda Jayanti will be celebrated at the RamakrishnaMath on 15th January 2012.

SWAMI BRAHMANANDA (1863 – 1922)On January 25th Wednesday - Swami Brahmananda Jayanti

The early name of Swami Brahmananda was Rakhal Chandra Gosh. He was born on 21st

January 1863 at Sikra, a village near Calcutta. His father Ananda Mohan Gosh was a zamindar. Hismother Kailas Kamini was a pious lady and a devotee of Shri Krishna who gave her son the nameRakhal (meaning the boy-companion of Shri Krishna). Unfortunately the mother died when Rakhalwas only five years old. Soon after, his father married a second wife who brought up Rakhal. Rakhal’seducation began in the village school which was started by Ananda Mohan chiefly for the sake of hisson. As a student Rakhal was remarkable for his intelligence. But even as a boy he had variedinterests in life. Physically he was much stronger than the average boy of his age.

Nearby was a temple dedicated to the Goddess Kali. Often enough Rakhal would be foundseated still and calm witnessing the ceremony, or at the hour of darkness, when the service wasbeing performed Rakhal would be seen standing before the Deity in great devotion.

After he had finished the primary education, Rakhal was sent to Calcutta in 1875 and admittedinto an English High School. In Calcutta he came in contact with Narendra Nath, afterwards knownas Swami Vivekananda, who was then leader of the boys of the locality. Narendra, with his dynamicspirit and born leadership, cast his influence over others and carried them along the path he thoughtright. Rakhal, meek, quiet and soft-natured as he was, easily came under his spell, and there grew aclose friendship between the two which culminated in a common discipleship at Dakshineswar andbore far-reaching results.

Alarmed at Rakhal’s indifference to studies and worldly things, his father got him married.Such, however, was the irony of fate that his marriage itself brought Rakhal in contact with SriRamakrishna who at once recognized in him his ‘spiritual Son’ as per the vision vouchsafed to himby the Divine Mother. Thus started a course of spiritual intimacy and intensive training under theloving care of the Guru, which resulted in several exalted mystic moods and spiritual experiences.After the passing away of Sri Ramakrishna, Rakhal, along with Narendra and other brother-disciples,embraced monastic life under the name ‘Swami Brahmananda.’ He spent several years as awandering monk, visiting places of pilgrimage and practicing severe austerities. A little before thereturn of Swami Vivekananda from the West, he came back to the Baranagore Math and startedliving there. After his return and establishing the Ramakrishna Mission, Swami Vivekananda gaveover the responsibility of running the organization, to him remembering that Sri Ramakrishna hadonce remarked that Rakhal had the capacity to rule a kingdom. Thus, Swami Brahmananda, the‘Spiritual Son’ of Sri Ramakrishna was the first President of the Ramakrishna Order. His uncannysense in solving even knotty problems and spiritual eminence of Himalayan heights took theorganization to new levels of glory and development. It was a long stewardship marked by work andworship remarkably blended together. During his tenure as the Head, he also guided many earnestspiritual seekers by taking them under his protection, thus fulfilling Swami Vivekananda’s propheticremark that Swami Brahmananda was veritably a spiritual dynamo.

He passed away on 10th April 1922.

Swami Vivekananda had said Swami Brahmananda is a “treasure-house of spirituality”. Hislife and teachings have been compiled by Swami Prabhavananda in the book “The EternalCompanion”.

Teachings

Practise a little Japa and meditation every day. Never stop for a single day. The mind is like arestless child, it wants to runaway. You must bring it back again and again and apply it to the meditationon the Lord. Go on this way for two or three years, and then an inexpressible joy will fill your mind.Meditation and Japa appear dry in the beginning. But still you must engage the mind in thecontemplation of the Deity, like swallowing a bitter medicine. Slowly spiritual joy will grow in you.People work so hard to pass an examination! To realise God is even easier than that. Only let themcall on Him with a calm, cheerful heart.

Initiation into a Mantra helps concentration of mind, otherwise your mind will change and fluctuate;today you will like Kali-form, tomorow the Hari-form, and the next day perhaps the formless aspect ofGod. And thus your mind will not be concentrated on any one.

Pranayama and other Yogic practices are not suitable to the present times and conditions.One must observe complete Brahmacharya in order to practice them. One’s food must be absolutelypure, Sattvika, and one must be guided by an expert teacher.

Practice is the means of concentrating the mind. Pranayama, breath-control, is also one of themeans. But it is not safe for a householder; if one is not continent, one falls ill. Moreover, one musthave nutritious food, a fine place, and pure air. In order to have meditation and concentration, youmust practice in solitude. The more you will try, the more you will achieve. Wherever you find conditionsfavorable, say if there is a fine serenity, sit down and meditate.

God is with form and is also formless and He is also above form and formlessness. What doesVedanta mean by saying that “Brahman is true and the world is false”? That, the world as we see itnow is false. The world vanishes in Samadhi, but you feel that you are experiencing a great joy.

There is a spiritual eye of wisdom between the two eyebrows. When its vision opens, a fountainof joy is released. The whole universe is seen to be merged in bliss.

This apparent universe, which you see, is within the domain of the mind. The mind is the author,the mind has conjured it up. It cannot go beyond its own domain. Behind the mind, of which we areaware, is a subtle spiritual mind, existing in a seed form. Through contemplation, prayer, and Japathis mind develops, and with its unfoldment a new vision opens. This subtle mind also cannot reachGod, the supreme Atman. But it leads you near to Him. At this stage, the world loses all its charm forthe aspirant. He remains absorbed n the consciousness of God. Next comes Samadhi. The experienceof Samadhi is indescribable-beyond is and is not. In this blessed experience there is neitherhappiness nor misery, neither light nor darkness. All is infinite Being, inexpressible.

The mind is susceptible to suggestions. It learns whatever you teach it. If through discriminationyou can impress upon it the joy and fullness of life in the spirit and the folly of worldly attachments,then your mind will devotee itself more and more to God. Everyone must have an ideal firmly establishedin his life. This ideal must never be lowered. The supreme ideal of human life is to know God.

The Guru leads the disciple through different stages until he leaves him with the Lord. But thereis no greater Guru than your own mind. When the mind has been purified through prayer andcontemplation, it will direct you from within. Even in your daily duties this Guru will guide you.

The way of steadying and purifying the mind is to retire into solitude, control all cravings, andengage yourself in contemplation and meditation. The more you occupy the mind with holy thoughts,the greater will be your spiritual unfoldment.

Another means of steadying the mind is to let it wander; but keep watch over its workings. Aftersome time the mind gets tired and comes back to find peace in God. If you watch your mind, themind, in turn, will keep watch over you.

Can anything be achieved without spiritual discipline? Do you not see what severe disciplineseven Avataras had to perform?

Be self-reliant. Effort is indispensable to success in spiritual life. Follow some discipline for atleast four years. Then, if you don’t make any tangible progress, come back and slap my face.

Resign yourself utterly to the Lord. He is everything. There is nothing besides. Never becalculating. Is self-surrender possible in a day?

Work and worship must go hand in hand. It is very good if one can devote oneself solely tospiritual practices. But how many can do that? Two types of men can sit without work. One is theidiot, who is too dull to be active. The other is the saint who has gone beyond all activity. Work is ameans to the state of meditation. Instead of working for yourself, work for the Lord. Know that you areworshipping the Lord through your work.

I will declare again and again and emphasize this truth-that however busy you may be in carryingout your duties, you must practice Japa and meditation. If you work and forget God, egotism andpride will overpower you. Therefore I tell you, never forget God, no matter whether you are working orsitting idle. To maintain this attitude you must keep your spiritual practices as well, whatever happens.

The Gita and other scriptures emphasize the ideal of worship and meditation in the midst of theactivities of life. I can confirm this from my own experience. “Work and worship” is the surest way tospiritual progress.

Why are you afraid of work? Work for Him. You can overcome all disinclination for work if youconsider it as dedicated to God.

In performing Japa and meditation, certainly sufficient time and favourable conditions areimportant. But those who are inclined to practice spiritual exercises will do so under all circumstances.Cultivate the habit of constantly remembering God whether you are idle or engaged in work

SWAMI TRIGUNATITANANDA (1865 – 1914)On January 27th Friday - Swami Trigunatitananda Jayanti

The depression brought about by the loss of a gold watch led the young Sarada Prasanna toDakshineswar seeking peace. Master Mahashaya, the celebrated author of “The Gospel of SriRamakrishna” who was his teacher, led him to his future guru. The first visit itself forged strong linksbetween them. Fearing that his religious inclination and frequent visits to the Saint of Dakshineswarmight ultimately induce him to become a monk, his relatives tried hard to change his mind, takingrecourse to, in the process, religious rites and charms. But nothing worked. And, Sarada Prasannabecame ̀ Swami Trigunatitananda’.

Sarada Prasanna Mittra, was born in Naora, a village in 24 Parganas on 30th January 1865. Theastrologer who drew his horoscope said that Sarada was born at an auspicious time and predictedthat he would be a great yogi and a man of wisdom. His father Shivakrishna Mittra was a rich landlordand a religious man who spent most of his time in worship and the study of scriptures; he thereforeraised his son in a spiritual atmosphere.

The Swami was an extremist by nature. When studying Vedanta scriptures, he put his whole mindand energy into it. He forgot food, drink, and sleep. The Swami had a strong constitution and was adare-devil. During his itinerant days, he had often been on the brink of disaster and was miraculouslysaved. It is said that he once underwent surgery for fistula without anesthetics.

The Swami strongly believed that through discipline one can form a strong character, which is absolutelyessential as a foundation for spiritual life. He never cared for his personal comforts but was eager toserve others. The famous relief work he organized at Dinajpur (now in Bangladesh) bears testimonyto this.

At the behest of Swami Vivekananda, Swami Trigunatitananda started the Udbodhan, the BengaliMonthly of the Ramakrishna Order, and assiduously built it up.

When Swami Turiyananda returned back to India from San Francisco, it was Trigunatitananda whowas entrusted with the responsibility of organizing the Vedanta work there. It was he who built the firstHindu Temple in the West.

For the last five years of his life, the Swami continuously suffered from rheumatism and Bright’sdisease. However, he continued to follow his routine punctually, did not deviate from his strict dietand would not reduce his workload. The great life came to an abrupt end as a result of a mad man’sact of throwing a bomb. He breathed his last on 10th January 1914.

Teachings

People talk of finding out the proper kind of guru. But that is not a reasonable position in all cases.Whoever the guru may be, everything will progress nicely if the disciple is earnest and sincere.

People of all castes can be initiated by a good guru who has attained perfection. What caste can atrue devotee or the perfect soul have? When the individual soul merges in God (like rivers in thesea), they can no more have any individuality. So how can there be then, the distinction of caste, asBrahmin, Shudra etc., belonging to the body and never to the soul?
