Living-Ideal
If you really have known some truth and if you think it is beneficial speak to your utmost about it and
request everyone to know it [Satyanusaran]
PREFACE
Today is 15th December 2011 The time is 805 pm in Delhi India I have just finished
praying to Bapun Baba (I have a framed picture of Bapun Baba) about the idea of writing a book on a
Living Ideal which came across my mind a little while ago Therefore with a pen in my hand now I
am starting to write down my very own experiences
I am 30 years old hold a master degree in Computer Science and work in a Multinational
company My life is not different from the life an average working professional except that three
years back I had turned completely vegetarian and since then I have been trying to follow a Living
Ideal
I stay alone in a rented accommodation and I cook my own food It is sometimes really very
painful especially in winters to return from office after a day-long hardship and prepare food for
myself My parents are desperately looking for a girl for me for the past two years It has been tough
to get a proposal for my marriage because I am a vegetarian and in Bengali community it is
considered very unusual I however consider myself lucky as I have realised that my life is dedicated
to the mission of my Living Ideal Moreover according to Sanatan Dharma marriage is a very
important process leading to procreation of future generations One should take utmost care to avoid
anti-providential marriage which could completely destroy a good lineage and give birth to
generations that could become a serious threat to future human existence in this world This gives me
strength to move on despite the hardship embarrassment ndash and sometimes humiliation ndash that I face

A Common Interview Question
―Who is your Ideal
There was a time when this question was used to be asked by interviewers Did you ever
wonder what significance this question has I feel that interviewers had the conception that a person
having an ideal would be disciplined Contrary to this the new generation of youngsters facing
interview had a different conception They believed an ideal is a person worth worshipping So they
often bluntly answered My parents are my Ideallsquo
Let me try to describe my understanding which I have gathered through my real-life experience
Who is an Ideal
Ideal in Hindi is pronounced as Adarshlsquo He is a guide to our life Someone can guide us only
if he is a man of experience A doctor can guide someone to become a doctor A cricketer can guide
someone to become a cricketer Similarly an ideal should be such a man who has experience of all
aspects of life in totality and can lead our life in the right direction An ideal should be a subject of
veneration however every subject of veneration need not be an ideal An ideal should be just like a
mirror which portrays our image whenever we make a mistake so that we can correct our mistake on
our own
When Mr Eugene Exman visited a great Indian spiritual teacher named Sri Sri Thakur
Anukulchandra he asked ―I donlsquot have much time to understand your philosophy Can you explain
me your philosophy in just two words Thakur replied in just two words ―Be concentric Later
when Mr Eugene asked Thakur explained that there should be a centre in our life and let our life
revolve around it In that centre we must place our ideal In other words we should lead our life being
concentric to the ideal Mr Eugene asked ―What if I make Henry Ford my ideal Thakur replied
―Then you can become Henry Ford not Jesus Christ Mr Eugene Exman was then the President of
Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers a renowned publishing house Thakur
Anukulchandra was the ideal of a great Indian freedom fighter named Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Swami Vivekananda came to Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans and acknowledged Him as his ideal
seeking for material accomplishment However Sri Ramkrishna turned him into a renowned master
Shivaji the great Indian king conquered all obstacles through his devotion to his ideal saint Ramdas
In the epic Mahabharata the Pandavas became victorious despite numerous drawbacks only because
they obeyed their ideal Lord Krishna The legendary Hanuman accomplished impossible tasks
through his devotion to his ideal Lord Ramchandra Therefore we must understand that an ideal is an
indispensable part of our life
The entity called mind (Manah) has the ability to manifest things around it at a subtler level
All that is happening in this world is the effect of mind-programming The mind has the ability to
manifest good as well as bad this is the working principal behind Law of Attraction which works on
the belief system that like attracts likelsquo When we closely acquaint with a noble personality a part of
nobleness reflects in our life And when we befriend a spoiled man it impacts our personality too
Hence it is imperative that the person we accept as an ideal has goodness within him Now imagine
what if an ideal is perfection personified Such an ideal or master is called satgurulsquo ndash satlsquo meaning
existence A person who has the ability to nurture our existence is a Satguru Thus He should be such
a person who knows the secret of eternal existence In theory He Himself should be eternal else how
can a finitelsquo fathom the eternallsquo Not only in theory but in practical also He must be eternal ndash such
as the son of godlsquo Jesus Christ
A highly accomplished Indian Spiritual teacher named Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra
said
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন ফ গরযযআ োথথওতো
তোাষও ধযষর অষ নোষওো গরতযোষকয খনয ওথো
Means
When Purushottam descends He is the fulfiller of all ideals Idealising him doesnlsquot mean discarding onelsquos existing ideal
He is the best guide and God to human evolution [Sri Sri Thakur]
তোাlsquoয নফ-ওষরফষযয বযতথোন lsquoলর তততনআ লতোভোয ঈোয
অয তোাlsquoলও ফোদ তদষে মোlsquo ওয তোlsquo ফযথথ তততনশচে [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
When He (Purushottam) appears in a new form He alone is worshippable to you and whatever you
do minus him is most definitely futile
Who is lsquoPurushottamrsquomdashThe Prophet
Purushottam is the enlightened son of God in blood and flesh When He descends on Earth He
alone is to be followed as He is the prophetmdashthe absolute
PROPHETmdashTHE ABSOLUTE
Only the prophet is absolute
the materialized embodiment
of all principles
for he turns all the relatives
into the absolute
and that absolute is Divine
[The Message Vol-VIII]
From the teachings and life of Shree Shree Thakur we understand that in human form
Purushottam has descended on Earth eight times in this epochmdashRam Krishna Buddha Jesus
Muhammed Chaitanya Ramkrishna and Anukulchandra
On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him
―sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah [Lord Krishna]
Means
Abandon all misinterpretations of Dharma and surrender unto Me I shall deliver you from all sinful
reaction Do not fear
―Buddham saranam gacchami dharmam saranam gacchami sangam saranam gacchami [Gautam
Buddha]
―I am the way the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me [Jesus]
The following excerpt has been taken from page-8 of the book Rashul Gitalsquo by Depi Prasad
Mukherjee Thakur recollects verse 480 from Quoran Sharif and explains
য় য় [Hazrat Muhammed]
Means
Whoever surrenders to Rashul (The Prophet) definitely he stays surrendered only to God (Allah)
―Mui Sai Mui Sai Mui Sai [Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]
Means
I am the One I am the One I am the One
লম যোভ লআ ওষণ এআ মষকয লআ যোভওষণ [Ramkrishna Paramhans]
Means
Same Ram same Krishna
In this generation He is Ramkrishna
অভোয ওথোগতর মতদ লতোভোয শধ ওথোতিনতোযআ লঔোযোও ভোতর ে
ওযো ফো অিযষণয লবতয তদষে লগতরষও মতদ ফোসতষফআ পটিষে তরষত নো য
তষফ োেো লম লতোভোয তভোছননআ যষে মোষফ
তো তওনত তত তনশচআ - লতোভোযআ অতভ [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
If My words are just your food for thought
If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition
Pg 225]
Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses
according to the ―tuning he has [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol9 Pg 20]
Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means
ৎ-তিনতোে তনভতিত থোও ৎ-ওষভথ লতোভোয োে ষফ এফং লতোভোয িততদথও ৎ লে ওর ভে লতোভোয যকষো ওযষফআ ওযষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ
আসটফতত অষনআ অষন ফোয তযতরোন [Sri Sri Thakur] Means
No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে
শরীশরীঠোকয - অতভ লতো এআবোষফ দর ফোিোষত িোআ নো ভোনল িোআ ভোনল inner (নতষয) ৎঙগী অষছআ ফোািো-ফোিোআ তোয inner hankering (জোত িোতদো) ভোনলগতর মতদ ফোাষি ফোষি অেষমোন lsquoলে ষঠ energetic active (ঈদযভী তিে) lsquoলে ষঠ তোষর অভোয রোব লমভন লতোভোয রোব লতভতন ঐ লযণয রোব লতভতন অয তোlsquo মতদ নো ে তোষর ওতগতর ভোনল তনষে দর ফোিোরোভ তওছ-তওছ আষটবতত ওযরোভ তোাlsquoলত অয ওী lsquoর
Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

Means
If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat svanusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah [Bhagwat Gita Ch3 Vs-35]
It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish

Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible

Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray

Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc

Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

Brojenda ndash We know that our holy name is the highest Will the progress stop here Would not some
prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same
moon we seen in different forms on different occasions That does not mean that the full moon and the
crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Yes Coming is reality However the food(teachings) for many-many days has been
given
Alochana Prasanga Vol 9 page 128
One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him
বকফোনআ লদতঔ ফতোযআ লদতঔ লওোষনো তফবততআ লোও
তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur
বকত ভোষন তও অোরমও-ফযং তফনীত-ংমকত জঞোনী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Does a devotee mean a fool Rather a wise man with humble pride
Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur

Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them

visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew

The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)
Resist Evil to end it

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

The true Guide has a light ego He will never assert His own strength to you by Himself and so will
follow you according to your thought This is the characteristic of a true Guide If you really have a
true Guide whatever you do no fear You cannot be destroyed Only keep prepared for sufferings

Exhausted in Want the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being otherwise not
―What will remove Want and how From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at
last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love
লপরভ বতকতযআ িভননতত বতকতয কোিতবআ লপরভ ঙকোয জষমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World

PREFACE
Today is 15th December 2011 The time is 805 pm in Delhi India I have just finished
praying to Bapun Baba (I have a framed picture of Bapun Baba) about the idea of writing a book on a
Living Ideal which came across my mind a little while ago Therefore with a pen in my hand now I
am starting to write down my very own experiences
I am 30 years old hold a master degree in Computer Science and work in a Multinational
company My life is not different from the life an average working professional except that three
years back I had turned completely vegetarian and since then I have been trying to follow a Living
Ideal
I stay alone in a rented accommodation and I cook my own food It is sometimes really very
painful especially in winters to return from office after a day-long hardship and prepare food for
myself My parents are desperately looking for a girl for me for the past two years It has been tough
to get a proposal for my marriage because I am a vegetarian and in Bengali community it is
considered very unusual I however consider myself lucky as I have realised that my life is dedicated
to the mission of my Living Ideal Moreover according to Sanatan Dharma marriage is a very
important process leading to procreation of future generations One should take utmost care to avoid
anti-providential marriage which could completely destroy a good lineage and give birth to
generations that could become a serious threat to future human existence in this world This gives me
strength to move on despite the hardship embarrassment ndash and sometimes humiliation ndash that I face

A Common Interview Question
―Who is your Ideal
There was a time when this question was used to be asked by interviewers Did you ever
wonder what significance this question has I feel that interviewers had the conception that a person
having an ideal would be disciplined Contrary to this the new generation of youngsters facing
interview had a different conception They believed an ideal is a person worth worshipping So they
often bluntly answered My parents are my Ideallsquo
Let me try to describe my understanding which I have gathered through my real-life experience
Who is an Ideal
Ideal in Hindi is pronounced as Adarshlsquo He is a guide to our life Someone can guide us only
if he is a man of experience A doctor can guide someone to become a doctor A cricketer can guide
someone to become a cricketer Similarly an ideal should be such a man who has experience of all
aspects of life in totality and can lead our life in the right direction An ideal should be a subject of
veneration however every subject of veneration need not be an ideal An ideal should be just like a
mirror which portrays our image whenever we make a mistake so that we can correct our mistake on
our own
When Mr Eugene Exman visited a great Indian spiritual teacher named Sri Sri Thakur
Anukulchandra he asked ―I donlsquot have much time to understand your philosophy Can you explain
me your philosophy in just two words Thakur replied in just two words ―Be concentric Later
when Mr Eugene asked Thakur explained that there should be a centre in our life and let our life
revolve around it In that centre we must place our ideal In other words we should lead our life being
concentric to the ideal Mr Eugene asked ―What if I make Henry Ford my ideal Thakur replied
―Then you can become Henry Ford not Jesus Christ Mr Eugene Exman was then the President of
Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers a renowned publishing house Thakur
Anukulchandra was the ideal of a great Indian freedom fighter named Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Swami Vivekananda came to Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans and acknowledged Him as his ideal
seeking for material accomplishment However Sri Ramkrishna turned him into a renowned master
Shivaji the great Indian king conquered all obstacles through his devotion to his ideal saint Ramdas
In the epic Mahabharata the Pandavas became victorious despite numerous drawbacks only because
they obeyed their ideal Lord Krishna The legendary Hanuman accomplished impossible tasks
through his devotion to his ideal Lord Ramchandra Therefore we must understand that an ideal is an
indispensable part of our life
The entity called mind (Manah) has the ability to manifest things around it at a subtler level
All that is happening in this world is the effect of mind-programming The mind has the ability to
manifest good as well as bad this is the working principal behind Law of Attraction which works on
the belief system that like attracts likelsquo When we closely acquaint with a noble personality a part of
nobleness reflects in our life And when we befriend a spoiled man it impacts our personality too
Hence it is imperative that the person we accept as an ideal has goodness within him Now imagine
what if an ideal is perfection personified Such an ideal or master is called satgurulsquo ndash satlsquo meaning
existence A person who has the ability to nurture our existence is a Satguru Thus He should be such
a person who knows the secret of eternal existence In theory He Himself should be eternal else how
can a finitelsquo fathom the eternallsquo Not only in theory but in practical also He must be eternal ndash such
as the son of godlsquo Jesus Christ
A highly accomplished Indian Spiritual teacher named Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra
said
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন ফ গরযযআ োথথওতো
তোাষও ধযষর অষ নোষওো গরতযোষকয খনয ওথো
Means
When Purushottam descends He is the fulfiller of all ideals Idealising him doesnlsquot mean discarding onelsquos existing ideal
He is the best guide and God to human evolution [Sri Sri Thakur]
তোাlsquoয নফ-ওষরফষযয বযতথোন lsquoলর তততনআ লতোভোয ঈোয
অয তোাlsquoলও ফোদ তদষে মোlsquo ওয তোlsquo ফযথথ তততনশচে [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
When He (Purushottam) appears in a new form He alone is worshippable to you and whatever you
do minus him is most definitely futile
Who is lsquoPurushottamrsquomdashThe Prophet
Purushottam is the enlightened son of God in blood and flesh When He descends on Earth He
alone is to be followed as He is the prophetmdashthe absolute
PROPHETmdashTHE ABSOLUTE
Only the prophet is absolute
the materialized embodiment
of all principles
for he turns all the relatives
into the absolute
and that absolute is Divine
[The Message Vol-VIII]
From the teachings and life of Shree Shree Thakur we understand that in human form
Purushottam has descended on Earth eight times in this epochmdashRam Krishna Buddha Jesus
Muhammed Chaitanya Ramkrishna and Anukulchandra
On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him
―sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah [Lord Krishna]
Means
Abandon all misinterpretations of Dharma and surrender unto Me I shall deliver you from all sinful
reaction Do not fear
―Buddham saranam gacchami dharmam saranam gacchami sangam saranam gacchami [Gautam
Buddha]
―I am the way the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me [Jesus]
The following excerpt has been taken from page-8 of the book Rashul Gitalsquo by Depi Prasad
Mukherjee Thakur recollects verse 480 from Quoran Sharif and explains
য় য় [Hazrat Muhammed]
Means
Whoever surrenders to Rashul (The Prophet) definitely he stays surrendered only to God (Allah)
―Mui Sai Mui Sai Mui Sai [Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]
Means
I am the One I am the One I am the One
লম যোভ লআ ওষণ এআ মষকয লআ যোভওষণ [Ramkrishna Paramhans]
Means
Same Ram same Krishna
In this generation He is Ramkrishna
অভোয ওথোগতর মতদ লতোভোয শধ ওথোতিনতোযআ লঔোযোও ভোতর ে

তষফ োেো লম লতোভোয তভোছননআ যষে মোষফ
তো তওনত তত তনশচআ - লতোভোযআ অতভ [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
If My words are just your food for thought
If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition
Pg 225]
Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses
according to the ―tuning he has [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol9 Pg 20]
Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-

Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means

Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ

No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে

Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)

It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish

Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible

Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc

Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

Brojenda ndash We know that our holy name is the highest Will the progress stop here Would not some
prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same
moon we seen in different forms on different occasions That does not mean that the full moon and the
crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future

given

One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly

One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him
বকফোনআ লদতঔ ফতোযআ লদতঔ লওোষনো তফবততআ লোও
তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur

Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur
2nd
Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them
3rd
visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

Kamini-kanchen
You have heard that it was said to those of old ―You shall not commit adultery
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with
her in his heart [St Matthew 527-28]
জকষত ভোনল মত-তওছ দঃঔ োে তোlsquoয তধওোংআ ওোতভনী-ওোচষন অতকত লথষও অষ দষটো লথষও মত দষয lsquoলয থোওো মোে ততআ ভঙগর বকফোন তিতিযোভওশনষদফ ফোআষও তফষল ওlsquoলয ফষরষছন ওোতভনী-ওোচন লথষও তপোৎ-তপোত-ঔফ তপোৎ থোও [Satyanasuran]

Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them Otherwise you
have no reward from you Father in heaven [St Matthew 61]
But when you do a charitable deed do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
That your charitable deed may be in secret and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward
you openly [St Matthew 63-4]

Means
The less you drum about your giving the better You will be saved from vanity

No one can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will be
loyal to the one and despise the other You cannot serve god and mammon [St Matthew 624]

And then I will declare to them I never knew you depart from Me you who practice lawlessnesslsquo

Beware If mastery within awakens not - Master Centre ndash none you have and deceiving you shall
be deceived
তি নোআ ভি লদে ভষয ভোষয ে ঔে | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Not enlightened still imparts holy name
He kills dies and degrades
Today we can see many seers are facilitating healing problem solving and materialistic
accomplishment in the name of god Still by and large the world is moving towards deterioration
The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves
He alone is our own
Do not think I came to bring peace on earth I did not come to bring peace but a sword
For I have come to set a man against his father a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-
law against her mother-in-lawlsquo [St Matthew 1034-35]
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me And he who loves son or daughter
more than Me is not worthy of Me [St Matthew 1037]
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or
lands for My namelsquos sake shall receive a hundredfold and inherit eternal life [St Matthew 1929]

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)
Resist Evil to end it

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love

Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World

PREFACE
Today is 15th December 2011 The time is 805 pm in Delhi India I have just finished
praying to Bapun Baba (I have a framed picture of Bapun Baba) about the idea of writing a book on a
Living Ideal which came across my mind a little while ago Therefore with a pen in my hand now I
am starting to write down my very own experiences
I am 30 years old hold a master degree in Computer Science and work in a Multinational
company My life is not different from the life an average working professional except that three
years back I had turned completely vegetarian and since then I have been trying to follow a Living
Ideal
I stay alone in a rented accommodation and I cook my own food It is sometimes really very
painful especially in winters to return from office after a day-long hardship and prepare food for
myself My parents are desperately looking for a girl for me for the past two years It has been tough
to get a proposal for my marriage because I am a vegetarian and in Bengali community it is
considered very unusual I however consider myself lucky as I have realised that my life is dedicated
to the mission of my Living Ideal Moreover according to Sanatan Dharma marriage is a very
important process leading to procreation of future generations One should take utmost care to avoid
anti-providential marriage which could completely destroy a good lineage and give birth to
generations that could become a serious threat to future human existence in this world This gives me
strength to move on despite the hardship embarrassment ndash and sometimes humiliation ndash that I face

A Common Interview Question
―Who is your Ideal
There was a time when this question was used to be asked by interviewers Did you ever
wonder what significance this question has I feel that interviewers had the conception that a person
having an ideal would be disciplined Contrary to this the new generation of youngsters facing
interview had a different conception They believed an ideal is a person worth worshipping So they
often bluntly answered My parents are my Ideallsquo
Let me try to describe my understanding which I have gathered through my real-life experience
Who is an Ideal
Ideal in Hindi is pronounced as Adarshlsquo He is a guide to our life Someone can guide us only
if he is a man of experience A doctor can guide someone to become a doctor A cricketer can guide
someone to become a cricketer Similarly an ideal should be such a man who has experience of all
aspects of life in totality and can lead our life in the right direction An ideal should be a subject of
veneration however every subject of veneration need not be an ideal An ideal should be just like a
mirror which portrays our image whenever we make a mistake so that we can correct our mistake on
our own
When Mr Eugene Exman visited a great Indian spiritual teacher named Sri Sri Thakur
Anukulchandra he asked ―I donlsquot have much time to understand your philosophy Can you explain
me your philosophy in just two words Thakur replied in just two words ―Be concentric Later
when Mr Eugene asked Thakur explained that there should be a centre in our life and let our life
revolve around it In that centre we must place our ideal In other words we should lead our life being
concentric to the ideal Mr Eugene asked ―What if I make Henry Ford my ideal Thakur replied
―Then you can become Henry Ford not Jesus Christ Mr Eugene Exman was then the President of
Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers a renowned publishing house Thakur
Anukulchandra was the ideal of a great Indian freedom fighter named Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Swami Vivekananda came to Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans and acknowledged Him as his ideal
seeking for material accomplishment However Sri Ramkrishna turned him into a renowned master
Shivaji the great Indian king conquered all obstacles through his devotion to his ideal saint Ramdas
In the epic Mahabharata the Pandavas became victorious despite numerous drawbacks only because
they obeyed their ideal Lord Krishna The legendary Hanuman accomplished impossible tasks
through his devotion to his ideal Lord Ramchandra Therefore we must understand that an ideal is an
indispensable part of our life
The entity called mind (Manah) has the ability to manifest things around it at a subtler level
All that is happening in this world is the effect of mind-programming The mind has the ability to
manifest good as well as bad this is the working principal behind Law of Attraction which works on
the belief system that like attracts likelsquo When we closely acquaint with a noble personality a part of
nobleness reflects in our life And when we befriend a spoiled man it impacts our personality too
Hence it is imperative that the person we accept as an ideal has goodness within him Now imagine
what if an ideal is perfection personified Such an ideal or master is called satgurulsquo ndash satlsquo meaning
existence A person who has the ability to nurture our existence is a Satguru Thus He should be such
a person who knows the secret of eternal existence In theory He Himself should be eternal else how
can a finitelsquo fathom the eternallsquo Not only in theory but in practical also He must be eternal ndash such
as the son of godlsquo Jesus Christ
A highly accomplished Indian Spiritual teacher named Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra
said
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন ফ গরযযআ োথথওতো

Means
When Purushottam descends He is the fulfiller of all ideals Idealising him doesnlsquot mean discarding onelsquos existing ideal
He is the best guide and God to human evolution [Sri Sri Thakur]

অয তোাlsquoলও ফোদ তদষে মোlsquo ওয তোlsquo ফযথথ তততনশচে [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
When He (Purushottam) appears in a new form He alone is worshippable to you and whatever you
do minus him is most definitely futile
Who is lsquoPurushottamrsquomdashThe Prophet
Purushottam is the enlightened son of God in blood and flesh When He descends on Earth He
alone is to be followed as He is the prophetmdashthe absolute
PROPHETmdashTHE ABSOLUTE
Only the prophet is absolute
the materialized embodiment
of all principles
for he turns all the relatives
into the absolute
and that absolute is Divine
[The Message Vol-VIII]
From the teachings and life of Shree Shree Thakur we understand that in human form
Purushottam has descended on Earth eight times in this epochmdashRam Krishna Buddha Jesus
Muhammed Chaitanya Ramkrishna and Anukulchandra
On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him
―sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah [Lord Krishna]
Means
Abandon all misinterpretations of Dharma and surrender unto Me I shall deliver you from all sinful
reaction Do not fear
―Buddham saranam gacchami dharmam saranam gacchami sangam saranam gacchami [Gautam
Buddha]
―I am the way the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me [Jesus]
The following excerpt has been taken from page-8 of the book Rashul Gitalsquo by Depi Prasad

Means
If My words are just your food for thought
If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition
Pg 225]
Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses
according to the ―tuning he has [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol9 Pg 20]
Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means

Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London

What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে

Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah

It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish

Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi

Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লম ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফততথভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray
যভততোয ওোষছ পরোথথনো ওয - lsquoলতোভোয আেোআ ভঙগর অতভ জোতন নো তওষ অভোয ভঙগর ষফ অভোয তবতষয লতোভোয আেোআ ণথ লোওrsquo অয তোrsquoয জষনয ততভ যোতজ থোও - অনষে থোওষফ দঃঔ লতোভোষও সপথ ওrsquoযষফ নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc
ওযতর োধন ওযতরষয লমোক
বদ লজযোতত লদঔতর ওত
আতয অতভয িতযতর মো
যআষরো তো ফ বোফকত [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief

rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

been so the world would have known the truth]
Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all
Spencer da
Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him
বকফোনআ লদতঔ ফতোযআ লদতঔ লওোষনো তফবততআ লোও
তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur

Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur
2nd
Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them
3rd
visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

Teachings of Christ
People not money
Then He said to them ―Follow Me and I will make you fisher of men [St Matthew 419]
ভোনল অন টোওো য মত োতয ভোনল ধয [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
He is fulfiller of past prophets
Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets I did not come to destroy but to fulfil [St
Matthew 517]
যফতীয তবতয ফথফতী লও অযতয বোষফ োফো মোেhellip [Alochana Prasanga Vol VI Page
243]
Means
In the future prophets past prophets could be found in a more manifested wayhellip
Kamini-kanchen
You have heard that it was said to those of old ―You shall not commit adultery
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with
her in his heart [St Matthew 527-28]
জকষত ভোনল মত-তওছ দঃঔ োে তোlsquoয তধওোংআ ওোতভনী-ওোচষন অতকত লথষও অষ দষটো লথষও মত দষয lsquoলয থোওো মোে ততআ ভঙগর বকফোন তিতিযোভওশনষদফ ফোআষও তফষল ওlsquoলয ফষরষছন ওোতভনী-ওোচন লথষও তপোৎ-তপোত-ঔফ তপোৎ থোও [Satyanasuran]
Means
Almost all miseries men have in the world come from the addiction to Kamini Kanchanlsquo (women and
gold) It is better to remain as far away as possible from these two
Lord Ramkrishna enjoined on everyone to remain far far far away from Kamani-kanchan
Divorce
Furthermore it has been said ―Whoever divorces his wife let him give her a certificate of divorce
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew
531-32]
They said to Him ―Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and put her
away
He said to them ―Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to divorce your wives
but from the beginning it was not so [St Matthew 197-8]
DIVORCE ndash AND INSULT TO
EXISTENCE
Divorce
is
an unnatural taunt of life
an abuse
an insult to existence

Charity should be in secret
Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them Otherwise you
have no reward from you Father in heaven [St Matthew 61]
But when you do a charitable deed do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
That your charitable deed may be in secret and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward
you openly [St Matthew 63-4]

তি নোআ ভি লদে ভষয ভোষয ে ঔে | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Not enlightened still imparts holy name
He kills dies and degrades
Today we can see many seers are facilitating healing problem solving and materialistic
accomplishment in the name of god Still by and large the world is moving towards deterioration
The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves
He alone is our own
Do not think I came to bring peace on earth I did not come to bring peace but a sword
For I have come to set a man against his father a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-
law against her mother-in-lawlsquo [St Matthew 1034-35]

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love

Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World

A Common Interview Question
―Who is your Ideal
There was a time when this question was used to be asked by interviewers Did you ever
wonder what significance this question has I feel that interviewers had the conception that a person
having an ideal would be disciplined Contrary to this the new generation of youngsters facing
interview had a different conception They believed an ideal is a person worth worshipping So they
often bluntly answered My parents are my Ideallsquo
Let me try to describe my understanding which I have gathered through my real-life experience
Who is an Ideal
Ideal in Hindi is pronounced as Adarshlsquo He is a guide to our life Someone can guide us only
if he is a man of experience A doctor can guide someone to become a doctor A cricketer can guide
someone to become a cricketer Similarly an ideal should be such a man who has experience of all
aspects of life in totality and can lead our life in the right direction An ideal should be a subject of
veneration however every subject of veneration need not be an ideal An ideal should be just like a
mirror which portrays our image whenever we make a mistake so that we can correct our mistake on
our own
When Mr Eugene Exman visited a great Indian spiritual teacher named Sri Sri Thakur
Anukulchandra he asked ―I donlsquot have much time to understand your philosophy Can you explain
me your philosophy in just two words Thakur replied in just two words ―Be concentric Later
when Mr Eugene asked Thakur explained that there should be a centre in our life and let our life
revolve around it In that centre we must place our ideal In other words we should lead our life being
concentric to the ideal Mr Eugene asked ―What if I make Henry Ford my ideal Thakur replied
―Then you can become Henry Ford not Jesus Christ Mr Eugene Exman was then the President of
Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers a renowned publishing house Thakur
Anukulchandra was the ideal of a great Indian freedom fighter named Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Swami Vivekananda came to Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans and acknowledged Him as his ideal
seeking for material accomplishment However Sri Ramkrishna turned him into a renowned master
Shivaji the great Indian king conquered all obstacles through his devotion to his ideal saint Ramdas
In the epic Mahabharata the Pandavas became victorious despite numerous drawbacks only because
they obeyed their ideal Lord Krishna The legendary Hanuman accomplished impossible tasks
through his devotion to his ideal Lord Ramchandra Therefore we must understand that an ideal is an
indispensable part of our life
The entity called mind (Manah) has the ability to manifest things around it at a subtler level
All that is happening in this world is the effect of mind-programming The mind has the ability to
manifest good as well as bad this is the working principal behind Law of Attraction which works on
the belief system that like attracts likelsquo When we closely acquaint with a noble personality a part of
nobleness reflects in our life And when we befriend a spoiled man it impacts our personality too
Hence it is imperative that the person we accept as an ideal has goodness within him Now imagine
what if an ideal is perfection personified Such an ideal or master is called satgurulsquo ndash satlsquo meaning
existence A person who has the ability to nurture our existence is a Satguru Thus He should be such
a person who knows the secret of eternal existence In theory He Himself should be eternal else how
can a finitelsquo fathom the eternallsquo Not only in theory but in practical also He must be eternal ndash such
as the son of godlsquo Jesus Christ
A highly accomplished Indian Spiritual teacher named Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra

Means
When He (Purushottam) appears in a new form He alone is worshippable to you and whatever you
do minus him is most definitely futile
Who is lsquoPurushottamrsquomdashThe Prophet
Purushottam is the enlightened son of God in blood and flesh When He descends on Earth He

PROPHETmdashTHE ABSOLUTE
Only the prophet is absolute
the materialized embodiment
of all principles
for he turns all the relatives
into the absolute
and that absolute is Divine
[The Message Vol-VIII]
From the teachings and life of Shree Shree Thakur we understand that in human form
Purushottam has descended on Earth eight times in this epochmdashRam Krishna Buddha Jesus
Muhammed Chaitanya Ramkrishna and Anukulchandra
On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him

Means
If My words are just your food for thought
If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition
Pg 225]
Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses
according to the ―tuning he has [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol9 Pg 20]
Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means
ৎ-তিনতোে তনভতিত থোও ৎ-ওষভথ লতোভোয োে ষফ এফং লতোভোয িততদথও ৎ লে ওর ভে লতোভোয যকষো ওযষফআ ওযষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ
আসটফতত অষনআ অষন ফোয তযতরোন [Sri Sri Thakur] Means
No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless
Foot notes
1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে
শরীশরীঠোকয - অতভ লতো এআবোষফ দর ফোিোষত িোআ নো ভোনল িোআ ভোনল inner (নতষয) ৎঙগী অষছআ ফোািো-ফোিোআ তোয inner hankering (জোত িোতদো) ভোনলগতর মতদ ফোাষি ফোষি অেষমোন lsquoলে ষঠ energetic active (ঈদযভী তিে) lsquoলে ষঠ তোষর অভোয রোব লমভন লতোভোয রোব লতভতন ঐ লযণয রোব লতভতন অয তোlsquo মতদ নো ে তোষর ওতগতর ভোনল তনষে দর ফোিোরোভ তওছ-তওছ আষটবতত ওযরোভ তোাlsquoলত অয ওী lsquoর
Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

Means
If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat svanusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah [Bhagwat Gita Ch3 Vs-35]
It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish
[The Message Vol VII]
SAVE THE COUNTRY
Save the country

hypogamy of femalesmdash

INCOMPATIBLE

Mal-adjusted incompatible

Means
Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লম ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফততথভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray
যভততোয ওোষছ পরোথথনো ওয - lsquoলতোভোয আেোআ ভঙগর অতভ জোতন নো তওষ অভোয ভঙগর ষফ অভোয তবতষয লতোভোয আেোআ ণথ লোওrsquo অয তোrsquoয জষনয ততভ যোতজ থোও - অনষে থোওষফ দঃঔ লতোভোষও সপথ ওrsquoযষফ নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc
ওযতর োধন ওযতরষয লমোক
বদ লজযোতত লদঔতর ওত
আতয অতভয িতযতর মো
যআষরো তো ফ বোফকত [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

Means
Brojenda ndash We know that our holy name is the highest Will the progress stop here Would not some
prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same
moon we seen in different forms on different occasions That does not mean that the full moon and the
crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Yes Coming is reality However the food(teachings) for many-many days has been
given
Alochana Prasanga Vol 9 page 128
One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him

Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated

Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur

Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur
2nd
Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them
3rd
visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

Kamini-kanchen
You have heard that it was said to those of old ―You shall not commit adultery
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with
her in his heart [St Matthew 527-28]

Almost all miseries men have in the world come from the addiction to Kamini Kanchanlsquo (women and
gold) It is better to remain as far away as possible from these two
Lord Ramkrishna enjoined on everyone to remain far far far away from Kamani-kanchan
Divorce
Furthermore it has been said ―Whoever divorces his wife let him give her a certificate of divorce
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew
531-32]
They said to Him ―Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and put her
away
He said to them ―Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to divorce your wives
but from the beginning it was not so [St Matthew 197-8]

Means
Not enlightened still imparts holy name
He kills dies and degrades
Today we can see many seers are facilitating healing problem solving and materialistic
accomplishment in the name of god Still by and large the world is moving towards deterioration
The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves
He alone is our own
Do not think I came to bring peace on earth I did not come to bring peace but a sword
For I have come to set a man against his father a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion

Come back from the filth

AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham

ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said

Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

Exhausted in Want the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being otherwise not
―What will remove Want and how From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at
last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love

Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World

Chapter 1
A Common Interview Question
―Who is your Ideal
There was a time when this question was used to be asked by interviewers Did you ever
wonder what significance this question has I feel that interviewers had the conception that a person
having an ideal would be disciplined Contrary to this the new generation of youngsters facing
interview had a different conception They believed an ideal is a person worth worshipping So they
often bluntly answered My parents are my Ideallsquo
Let me try to describe my understanding which I have gathered through my real-life experience
Who is an Ideal
Ideal in Hindi is pronounced as Adarshlsquo He is a guide to our life Someone can guide us only
if he is a man of experience A doctor can guide someone to become a doctor A cricketer can guide
someone to become a cricketer Similarly an ideal should be such a man who has experience of all
aspects of life in totality and can lead our life in the right direction An ideal should be a subject of
veneration however every subject of veneration need not be an ideal An ideal should be just like a
mirror which portrays our image whenever we make a mistake so that we can correct our mistake on
our own
When Mr Eugene Exman visited a great Indian spiritual teacher named Sri Sri Thakur
Anukulchandra he asked ―I donlsquot have much time to understand your philosophy Can you explain
me your philosophy in just two words Thakur replied in just two words ―Be concentric Later
when Mr Eugene asked Thakur explained that there should be a centre in our life and let our life
revolve around it In that centre we must place our ideal In other words we should lead our life being
concentric to the ideal Mr Eugene asked ―What if I make Henry Ford my ideal Thakur replied
―Then you can become Henry Ford not Jesus Christ Mr Eugene Exman was then the President of
Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers a renowned publishing house Thakur
Anukulchandra was the ideal of a great Indian freedom fighter named Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Swami Vivekananda came to Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans and acknowledged Him as his ideal
seeking for material accomplishment However Sri Ramkrishna turned him into a renowned master
Shivaji the great Indian king conquered all obstacles through his devotion to his ideal saint Ramdas
In the epic Mahabharata the Pandavas became victorious despite numerous drawbacks only because
they obeyed their ideal Lord Krishna The legendary Hanuman accomplished impossible tasks
through his devotion to his ideal Lord Ramchandra Therefore we must understand that an ideal is an
indispensable part of our life
The entity called mind (Manah) has the ability to manifest things around it at a subtler level
All that is happening in this world is the effect of mind-programming The mind has the ability to
manifest good as well as bad this is the working principal behind Law of Attraction which works on
the belief system that like attracts likelsquo When we closely acquaint with a noble personality a part of
nobleness reflects in our life And when we befriend a spoiled man it impacts our personality too
Hence it is imperative that the person we accept as an ideal has goodness within him Now imagine
what if an ideal is perfection personified Such an ideal or master is called satgurulsquo ndash satlsquo meaning
existence A person who has the ability to nurture our existence is a Satguru Thus He should be such
a person who knows the secret of eternal existence In theory He Himself should be eternal else how
can a finitelsquo fathom the eternallsquo Not only in theory but in practical also He must be eternal ndash such
as the son of godlsquo Jesus Christ

On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him

Means

If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition
Pg 225]
Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses
according to the ―tuning he has [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol9 Pg 20]
Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi

There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books
Name of some of the books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means
ৎ-তিনতোে তনভতিত থোও ৎ-ওষভথ লতোভোয োে ষফ এফং লতোভোয িততদথও ৎ লে ওর ভে লতোভোয যকষো ওযষফআ ওযষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ
আসটফতত অষনআ অষন ফোয তযতরোন [Sri Sri Thakur] Means
No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

1 ndash ―Almost all paid work is done from desire not from impulse the work itself is more or less
irksome but the payment for it is desired The serious activities that fill a mans working hours are
except in a few fortunate individuals governed mainly by purposes not by impulses towards those
activities ― lsquoPrinciples of social reconstructionrsquo by BERTRAND RUSSELL 2 ndash ―Science can if it chooses enable our grandchildren to live the good life by giving them
knowledge self-control and characters productive of harmony rather than strifehellipThen at least we
shall have won our freedom ― lsquoWhat I believersquo by BERTRAND RUSSELL
Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে
শরীশরীঠোকয - অতভ লতো এআবোষফ দর ফোিোষত িোআ নো ভোনল িোআ ভোনল inner (নতষয) ৎঙগী অষছআ ফোািো-ফোিোআ তোয inner hankering (জোত িোতদো) ভোনলগতর মতদ ফোাষি ফোষি অেষমোন lsquoলে ষঠ energetic active (ঈদযভী তিে) lsquoলে ষঠ তোষর অভোয রোব লমভন লতোভোয রোব লতভতন ঐ লযণয রোব লতভতন অয তোlsquo মতদ নো ে তোষর ওতগতর ভোনল তনষে দর ফোিোরোভ তওছ-তওছ আষটবতত ওযরোভ তোাlsquoলত অয ওী lsquoর
Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

Means
If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat svanusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah [Bhagwat Gita Ch3 Vs-35]
It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish
[The Message Vol VII]
SAVE THE COUNTRY
Save the country

hypogamy of femalesmdash

Means
Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible

Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray

Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc

Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same

crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Yes Coming is reality However the food(teachings) for many-many days has been
given
Alochana Prasanga Vol 9 page 128
One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him

তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur
বকত ভোষন তও অোরমও-ফযং তফনীত-ংমকত জঞোনী [Satyanusaran]

Does a devotee mean a fool Rather a wise man with humble pride
Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur
2nd
Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them

On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets I did not come to destroy but to fulfil [St
Matthew 517]

Means
In the future prophets past prophets could be found in a more manifested wayhellip
Kamini-kanchen
You have heard that it was said to those of old ―You shall not commit adultery
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with
her in his heart [St Matthew 527-28]
জকষত ভোনল মত-তওছ দঃঔ োে তোlsquoয তধওোংআ ওোতভনী-ওোচষন অতকত লথষও অষ দষটো লথষও মত দষয lsquoলয থোওো মোে ততআ ভঙগর বকফোন তিতিযোভওশনষদফ ফোআষও তফষল ওlsquoলয ফষরষছন ওোতভনী-ওোচন লথষও তপোৎ-তপোত-ঔফ তপোৎ থোও [Satyanasuran]
Means
Almost all miseries men have in the world come from the addiction to Kamini Kanchanlsquo (women and
gold) It is better to remain as far away as possible from these two
Lord Ramkrishna enjoined on everyone to remain far far far away from Kamani-kanchan
Divorce
Furthermore it has been said ―Whoever divorces his wife let him give her a certificate of divorce
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew
531-32]
They said to Him ―Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and put her
away
He said to them ―Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to divorce your wives
but from the beginning it was not so [St Matthew 197-8]
DIVORCE ndash AND INSULT TO

That your charitable deed may be in secret and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward
you openly [St Matthew 63-4]

Today we can see many seers are facilitating healing problem solving and materialistic
accomplishment in the name of god Still by and large the world is moving towards deterioration
The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves
He alone is our own
Do not think I came to bring peace on earth I did not come to bring peace but a sword

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

request everyone to know it

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)
Resist Evil to end it
BE STRONG IN RESISTING EVIL

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

The true Guide has a light ego He will never assert His own strength to you by Himself and so will
follow you according to your thought This is the characteristic of a true Guide If you really have a
true Guide whatever you do no fear You cannot be destroyed Only keep prepared for sufferings

Exhausted in Want the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being otherwise not
―What will remove Want and how From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at
last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love
লপরভ বতকতযআ িভননতত বতকতয কোিতবআ লপরভ ঙকোয জষমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all

[The Message Vol-VIII]
From the teachings and life of Shree Shree Thakur we understand that in human form
Purushottam has descended on Earth eight times in this epochmdashRam Krishna Buddha Jesus
Muhammed Chaitanya Ramkrishna and Anukulchandra
On Earth He always proclaims His heavenly kingdom indicating that He alone is to be
worshiped This is also a sign of identifying Him

Means
If My words are just your food for thought
If you do not materialize them through action and conduct
Then your attainment would remain unaccomplished
That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea
Shri Shri Thakur Idea makes a man idiot A living man makes Him(GodSupreme FatherParampita)
alive and the idea gets manifested [English translation of Alochona Prasange Vol21 First Edition

Those who have the ―Aerial inside them only they can find Him When they have the eagerness in
their heart they start looking out and thus receive different impulses internally Externally too
unexpected connections take place Human brain is the finest device One only gets the impulses

Saint Kabir said
―Jab tak na mila satguru saccha tab tak karta ja dus bees pachasa
Means
Till the time you find a true ideal go on making 10-20-50 ideals
Why should we follow Purushottam
―He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad [St
Matthew 1230]
HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means
ৎ-তিনতোে তনভতিত থোও ৎ-ওষভথ লতোভোয োে ষফ এফং লতোভোয িততদথও ৎ লে ওর ভে লতোভোয যকষো ওযষফআ ওযষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ
আসটফতত অষনআ অষন ফোয তযতরোন [Sri Sri Thakur] Means
No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

activities ― lsquoPrinciples of social reconstructionrsquo by BERTRAND RUSSELL 2 ndash ―Science can if it chooses enable our grandchildren to live the good life by giving them
knowledge self-control and characters productive of harmony rather than strifehellipThen at least we
shall have won our freedom ― lsquoWhat I believersquo by BERTRAND RUSSELL
Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে
শরীশরীঠোকয - অতভ লতো এআবোষফ দর ফোিোষত িোআ নো ভোনল িোআ ভোনল inner (নতষয) ৎঙগী অষছআ ফোািো-ফোিোআ তোয inner hankering (জোত িোতদো) ভোনলগতর মতদ ফোাষি ফোষি অেষমোন lsquoলে ষঠ energetic active (ঈদযভী তিে) lsquoলে ষঠ তোষর অভোয রোব লমভন লতোভোয রোব লতভতন ঐ লযণয রোব লতভতন অয তোlsquo মতদ নো ে তোষর ওতগতর ভোনল তনষে দর ফোিোরোভ তওছ-তওছ আষটবতত ওযরোভ তোাlsquoলত অয ওী lsquoর
Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

Means
If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat svanusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah [Bhagwat Gita Ch3 Vs-35]
It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish
[The Message Vol VII]
SAVE THE COUNTRY
Save the country

hypogamy of femalesmdash

INCOMPATIBLE

Mal-adjusted incompatible
gene-combination in wedding

Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible

Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray

Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc

Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

Brojenda ndash We know that our holy name is the highest Will the progress stop here Would not some
prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same
moon we seen in different forms on different occasions That does not mean that the full moon and the
crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Yes Coming is reality However the food(teachings) for many-many days has been
given
Alochana Prasanga Vol 9 page 128
One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth

He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him
বকফোনআ লদতঔ ফতোযআ লদতঔ লওোষনো তফবততআ লোও
তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur
বকত ভোষন তও অোরমও-ফযং তফনীত-ংমকত জঞোনী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Does a devotee mean a fool Rather a wise man with humble pride
Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur

Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them

visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew

The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)
Resist Evil to end it

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

The true Guide has a light ego He will never assert His own strength to you by Himself and so will
follow you according to your thought This is the characteristic of a true Guide If you really have a
true Guide whatever you do no fear You cannot be destroyed Only keep prepared for sufferings

Exhausted in Want the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being otherwise not
―What will remove Want and how From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at
last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love
লপরভ বতকতযআ িভননতত বতকতয কোিতবআ লপরভ ঙকোয জষমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good

Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World

If you do not materialize them through action and conduct

That is extremely sure ndash Yours I
Further Thakur said
It is easier for a man to observe so-called dharma but difficult to surrender to a Living Ideal
because there the surrender needs to be materialised The surrender is not there for the sake of word
it is real There is lot of scope to act according to our whims in the surrender to the GOD in the sky
It does not work the reason is that the sky never resists me One who cannot resist me can never
mould me either Misdeeds can be nicely performed looking at the sky Religion means to get
delightfully united with the Living Divine Ideal to get bound to Him This tests the mental strength
the sincerity Many could understand this their nature is also good But they cannot do it That
means they are not sincere to their ideas [English translation of Alochana Prasanga Vol-14 Pg 191]
Thakur also said during a discourse with a disciple Janardhan da
Janardan da What is the need of a Living Ideal One can follow the Idea

HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER
WITH MEmdashSCATTERS
Adherence to a common Ideal
the nurturer of specific characteristics
gathers people
cementing the differences
between one another
with every compassionate pull
that exalts one into many
with initiative serviceable urge
and energetic ardour
but dining together
and indiscriminate marriage
can never gather people
or make them inter-related
Lord Christ hath said
He who is not with me
is against memdash
he who does not gather with me
scatters
[The Message Vol-IV]
Thakur explained living ideal as a staff who guides us the blinds
―To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of
the eyeslsquo work [Satyanusaran]
―Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into
the ditch [St Matthew 1514]
Thakur Anukulchandra said that the purpose of life is to drive away wantlsquo completely and that is
possible only by knowing the cause of everything The cause could be best understood when
gradually we imbibe the characteristic of Living Ideal within us through our attachment to Him
Whenever He descends He alone is the best fulfiller of existence He is the best guide and god to
human evolution So must seek Him until we find Him The moment we start seeking Him He too
starts seeking us And once we find Him we must follow Him
Chapter 2
How did I choose my Ideal
―Who am I How did this feeling of Ilsquo within me generated Why am Ilsquo within me and not in
somebody else How big is this universe There is a container containing this universe There is
another container containing that container Where does this chain of container ends How can it ever
end Such thoughts baffled me when I was 5 I used to get frightened when I thought that the
universe doesnlsquot end I used to become very uncertain about existence I used to be thankful that at
least I exist At the age of 6 a question crossed my mind ―Does human being die I got convinced on
my own that a person dies when he reaches 100 years of age I became very frightened I did not want
to lose my identity as the world is so playful and I loved my maternal grandpa I used to pray to god
that my maternal grandpa survives long He is today 90 years of age and is still alive
At the age of 12 I started reading books like World famous discoverieslsquo World famous
Mysterieslsquo World famous Medicine and Therapylsquo typically the World famouslsquo series of Pustak
Mahal publisher I was also very athletic and liked playing all kinds of games especially cricket
From the tender age of 14 onwards I started doing heavy physical exercises without proper
guidance I did not realize that the unguided physical exercises would hamper my height and would
be the cause of backache after few years My height got restricted to 5 and quarter feet though I was
a good athlete At school I often used to be overpowered and underestimated by my fellow students
Except for once I never got the opportunity to play either Cricket or Football in school matches And
it was that single Football match when I had proved my calibre to the Physical Training teacher Thus
to prove myself to the World I started pushing myself to limits I wanted to become a cricketer
though I never disclosed it to my parents because I knew my parents would simply neglect it
At the age of 15 I started reading books on Palmistry followed by a book on Hypnotism
Miracle and magic always fascinated me I had read that a Yogi can gain the strength of an elephant
by meditating on the picture of an elephant I started practicing a technique called Tratak which was
required to attain hypnotic powers The kind of Tratak that I used to practice involved focussing on a
candle flame in a dark room till the eyes started watering Ideally it should be done for not more than
a minute or two But I used to do it for around 15 minutes despite stream of water rolling down my
cheeks Thus I used to overstrain my eyes but the moment I focussed on the flame I used to forget all
my tensions and felt relaxed at heart The convent education system due to its shortcomings often
causes depression in me I took Tratak as a tool to avert that depression and to achieve spiritual
powers However this practice was turning me aggressive During that time I used to adhere to
vegetarian diet though my parents tried to make me eat non-vegetarian food Several times they tried
to restrain me from practising Tratak however I never listened I never realised that the degree to
which I stressed my eyes would cause problems after 4-5 years I practiced it for around one year and
at the end I turned little aggressive by nature
I felt that I was going through a period of bad fortune I had learned that if a blue Sapphire
astrologically suits a person then it can make him as fortunate as a king I went to my parents but my
parents wouldnlsquot get it for me Then somehow I convinced my parents to consult a gold medallist
astrologer named Asim Chaterjee He recommended me to wear few gems and again my parents
were not interested to spend any money though they could have afforded it The tension between me
and my parents increased
One day I saw a saint named Asha Ram Bapu on television Bearded saints always fascinated
me So I started watching his satsang on television frequently I started doing the kind of meditation
that he suggested I also started practising pranayama after reading a book on it In doing so I started
experiencing peace I used to feel reluctant to sit for pranayama but after completing a session of
around 15 minutes I used to experience bliss I used to forget all worries and tensions I practices the
ways of devotion suggested by Asha Ram Bapu on television Slowly my interest started shifting
from Tratak to devotional meditation I used to repeatedly chant the word Narayanlsquo during
meditation Occasionally I started watching discourses of spiritual gurus like Shree Jaggi Vasudev
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj on television
At the age of 17 I gradually started loosing momentum on my spiritual hankering I was then
preparing for my Higher Secondary examination At the age of 19 I got enrolled in a college for an
off campus course in Computer Science The classes used to be conducted 4 days a week in an
institute at the first floor of a building In those days there were many such institutes offering degrees
in collaboration with some college The standard of education was not good I was not happy thinking
that my parents did not do much to get me admitted to a good college My college days were quite
ordinary I was a shy creature and I did not make any girlfriend
At the age of 22 I completed my Graduation By then I had realised that my dream to become a
cricket had already shattered The tension between me and my parents was at its peak At 23
determined to make a career I went to Bangalore to prepare for GATE examination in Computer
Science My throat infection problem which started from the age of around 16 increased since then I
also started suffering from backache Also for the past two years I had been suffering from tooth ache
but finally got it fixed there at Bangalore through Root Canal therapy
I cleared GATE and I also cleared CDAC entrance exam CDAC is a state-of-the-art
government institute in India providing short term advanced course in Computer Science I choose to
go to Pune to pursue a 6 months course not knowing that those 6 months were going to be the worst
days of my life I had literally experience hell on Earth At Shivajinagar in Pune I had to stay in a
hostel along with 11 other boys The place was unhygienic and untidy and I thought that Pune is
infamous for bedbugs Within few days a theft took place in the hostel and four of us lost some of our
belongings I lost the most a purse containing two ATM cards an ID proof and money For the next
1 month I had to live through borrowing money from my colleagues We had a hectic schedule We
used to leave at 730 AM in the morning and return at around 1 AM at midnight There werenlsquot any
suitable restaurant around that place I often ate fast food like Egg friend rice chicken fried rice etc in
a thelalsquo a typical restaurant on a four wheeler cycle van The place used to be dirty with street dog
moving around Sometimes I felt that I was just a little better than these street dogs Within few days
I suffered throat infection Since I did not have much money I did not go to a doctor for about a
month The pain was very irritating and sometimes I managed to get little hot water to gargle and
drink At night I would not be able to speak because of my throat condition In the meantime after a
month I received an alternate ATM card and I consulted an ENT specialist She advised me that I
should avoid certain things throughout my life which included cold drinks citrus fruits spicy and oily
foods and anything containing MSG I got temporary relief after medication
I was obsessed with my short height and this obsession was at its peak I started hating myself
A similar reaction reflected from nature Suddenly my fellow students started addressing me with a
nickname Gattulsquo which in colloquial language meant a short person I could not stand this taunting
Despite being inquisitive and intelligent I lost attention from studies and became extremely depressed
The untidy surrounding the physical pain the frustration and humiliation made it a hell for me
I somehow completed my CDAC course and in April 2008 I got placed in a software company
in a place called Noida I was then 27 years old Again obsessed with the idea of gaining height one
day I did some stretching exercise ndash by hanging using a high concrete shelve This revived the age old
backache problem and this time it was intense It was summer with temperatures going as high as 45o
C I was staying with a colleague in a rented accommodation a very ordinary room without any
window ndash again a bad situation At midnight during usual power cuts I used to sweat profusely
Eating became a problem as there were no quality restaurants nearby I lost my appetite and my blood
pressure dropped very low to 40-120 At office though it was air-conditioned the reclining chairs
were not at all comfortable which added to my problem I consulted multiple specialists but they told
me that they could not relate my condition with any disease They prescribed me some supplements
My backache problem became unbearable At a point of time I even thought of giving up my job I
purchased a hip belt on my own and this brought me some comfort In May 2008 after one and a
half months of joining my first company I changed my accommodation and went to a little better
place with one of my colleague named Kamraj We stayed as paying guest in a single room shared by
three people me Kamraj and one more person The room was equipped with a cooler and a television
and there were some good restaurants nearby This brought me some comfort
However the ordeal did not end there Two months after joining my first company suddenly
the workload increased I was called in to work even on weekends I felt quite difficulty staring at the
computer screen This might have been a result of the Tratak that I practised 4-5 years back I
remember that I had to work for 16 hours a day from 9 AM to 1 AM for 7 consecutive days The
company did not follow any overtime policy so I did not get paid anything for the extra hours This
workload invariably continued for around one month after which there was some relief
I and Kamraj started enjoying life after all it was our first job and we were software engineers
We occasionally went to restaurants like KFC Pizza hut Mc Donalds etc We occasionally used to
drink and I mostly liked wines In November 2008 my throat infection problem started Meanwhile I
again changed accommodation along with Kamraj This time it was a nice flat with three bedrooms
one kitchen and a large hall Altogether along with three other office colleagues we were five people
sharing this flat My throat problem continued to inflict pain Sometimes it used to grow so intense
that I had to spend sleepless nights I always had to drink warm water Further I was not satisfied
with my job My obsession with my height often troubled me Finally in January 2009 I thought that
I would be the right time to introduce an Ideal in my life
Kripalu Ji Maharaj describes satguru as a person who has knowledge of all scriptures and who
has seen God So one day I decided to practice the method of finding a satguru suggested by Kripalu
Ji Maharaj He suggested that if we cry and pray to Lord Krishna for a satguru then Lord Krishna
would get us a satguru Therefore I did do I also prayed Lord if you cannot alleviate me of all my
sufferings then please pick me up and release me of this mortal cagelsquo
Within few days I fell very sick and I had to be hospitalised The doctor diagnosed Hepatitis (A
amp E) and typhoid I informed my parents and they would take at least two days to reach Noida In the
meantime I got very frightened Weird thoughts started worrying me ndash Had the Lord really heard my
prayer Is He going to pick me up What if I die death would be so painful I donlsquot have to die this
way Why do I always keep complaining about life Life itself is so beautiful I have talent does not
mean that I have to utilize them Only a guru can save me nowlsquo For 35 years my parents were
disciple of a guru named Shree Shree Thakur Anukulchandra Chakrobortylsquo I once heard from some
disciple about how Thakur used to solve problems of every person who came to Him But I didnlsquot
know who Thakur was and what His story was because my parents never discussed anything about
Thakur So laying at the hospital bed I started surfing the internet to know about Thakurlsquos life I
came across many discourses and understood how good a person He was I came to know that He was
a very ordinary person and He has been through lot of hardships in His life I also came to know
about His spiritual accomplishments and His kirtan movement I learned that His versus and sayings
have been compiled into more than hundred books where He has given information on all walks of
life like marriage health manlsquos conduct womanlsquos conduct cooking culture history astrology etc I
decided to make Him my Ideal Thus I cried profusely and prayed to Thakur to save me and that I
will lead a life of according to His instructions and will have no desire of my own I believed that
even if I sacrifice all my wishes still there would be so many good things left for me in life I could
get married and lead a simple and happy life I recovered very quickly and few days later towards
the end of Feb 2009 I got initiated
Chapter 3
Shree Shree Thakur Anukul Chandra Chakraborty ndash An
Introduction
The life story of Shree Shree Thakur has been suitably illustrated in a book named Ocean in a
Teacuplsquo written by Ray Archer Hauserman a United States veteran of World War II This book was
written during the lifetime of Thakur It became the source of inspiration for many readers one of
whom was Mr Eugene Exman who came to India and offered Thakur to fly to America in a chartered
aircraft though Thakur politely resisted This book is freely available on the internet Fortunately a
Bengali version is also available at the website httpwwwsatsangindiacomsatsang-bindute-
sindhuhtml
Thakur Anukulchandra was born in a Brahmin family on 14th Sep 1988 at a hamlet called
Himaitpur in Pabna district of Bangladesh Himaitpur was a very backward disconnected and
uncivilized village at that time It was surrounded by dense forest which sheltered many dacoits His
father Shiv Chandra Chakroborty was a virtuous man ideal-centric dutiful kind hospitable and
educated His mother Manmohini Devi was a woman of faith Manmohini Devi during her tender
age of 9 when she first saw the picture of a renowned saint named Hazur Maharaj became desperate
to see him
―Please ma I must see him Only do this for me and I will always be dutiful and faithful and
uncomplaining Please mahellip I will take care of you all the days of your lifehellipOnly once let me see
Hazur Maharaj [Ocean in a Teacup]
This way she persuaded her mother to visit the ashram of Hajur Maharaj There she was
initiated by Hazur Maharaj with a holy name She was foretold by the ascetic that she would beget a
son ndash of divine qualities ndash who is the representative of the name that she had been initiated with
Manmohini Devi derived the name Anukul from the first letter of every line of the poem she
composed
অকষর তিষর দীনীনজষন
নমোআ তয ওত ওথো
কর তদষত তোষয লধ পরোনষন
কষয ওতয তোয নোত ফযথো
Means
When the poor and needy falls in despair
Bow head and speak to them
To soothe them try wholeheartedly
Focus and relive their pain
During childhood Thakur was inquisitive and little mischievous Thakur did everything to
appease His mother throughout her life But His mother was very strict with Him and never praised
Him except for once during the very last moment of her life before she died Thakurlsquos mother was
pretty harsh with Him and always tried to command Him
Now let me illustrate the life Thakur in the form of small anecdotes
Since the age of three whatever Thakur pronounced turned into reality Like a young kid He
used to play around and pluck flower from a garden nearby One day the gardener caught young
Thakur and tied Him up Thakur said to him that it is pointless to do gardening here because after 15
days He would be a gardener of some other world Exactly after 15 days the person died So one day
mother Manmohini Devi made Thakur promise that He would never utter any such words for anyone
Thakur would keep this promise throughout his life Thus in the coming years Thakur would save
people ndash from grave dangers ndash through his instructions but would never disclose beforehand about
the impending danger An Indian spiritual teacher Avadoot Baba Shivanand says ―Realised men
always talk in riddles else they would be violating the laws of nature Many great devotees of
Thakur underwent great sufferings and even met death just because they pursued their complexes
instead of following His instructions
Ten year old Thakur was in a classroom where the teacher named Moitra was imparting a
lesson which meant ndash ―Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Thoughts started
flashing through His mind and He understood that no two things in this universe are same Till now
Thakur had been trying to please everyone the same way Now He understood that every person
should be treated differently as per their distinctiveness His disagreement to Moitralsquos teaching made
Moitra start from the beginning ndash ―What is 1+1 Thakur replied ―1 + 1 is two ones To this the
teacher hit Thakur with the pointer so hard that He momentarily became unconscious When Thakur
reached home without taking food He went to the bank of river Ganga There He curiously inspected
every two leaves stones flowers roots of trees Thakur reaffirmed His induction from Nature that no
two things in this universe are alike Next day He brought some of these evidences to His teacher
Today people falsely believe that Thakur said ―Borda is what I am the either side of the same coin
Later in this chapter I would disclose who Borda was
During his 13th
year Moitra passed Thakur along with his friends Atul and Dilip out of village
school However Moitra complained to Anukullsquos parents ―I have passed Him not because He knows
anything but because He will never learn anything from me Thakur now got into high school
which was 4 miles away from His place Every day He used to go by walk He used to find the
subjects ndash history Geography Mathematics English grammar ndash rhetoric tedious confining and often
confusing But because Thakur was determined to please His mother so He continued with His
studies
In 1905 when Thakur was 17 years old He was preparing for His matriculation examination
On the day He was going for the exam He came to know that His friend Atul was not coming for the
exam Thakur went running to Atullsquos house and found that he was unable to collect 5 rupees for the
exam fees Atul needed to clear this exam in order to get the clerklsquos job in Dacca (now capital of
Bangladesh) Atullsquos family was living in poverty His widowed mother had 6 siblings and for the past
few weeks his mother had worked very hard but was able to earn only 2 rupees Thakur handed His 5
rupees to Atul and said ―Take this and run there is not much time left Atul Asked ―What about
you Thakur replied ―I will go get more You hurry Atul vowed to pay it back However Thakur
failed to appear for the exam Thakurlsquos family itself was running tight on money and that 5 rupees
was a substantial amount Thakur promised His Ma and grandma that He would work as a coolie
(porter) at the docks Thakur ascertained them that they wonlsquot be shamed and that no relatives would
come to know about it He would hide his face on the sight of any relative
After working as a coolie for a few weeks by the influence of a cousin Thakur ndash merely on
the basis of His knowledge not qualification ndash got enrolled to a medical college in Kolkata Thakurlsquos
father Shiv Chandra was to receive 50 rupees from some person ndash whom he had once helped The
borrower promised to pay him back in some other way pretending that he did not have any cash He
proposed that Thakur ndash when He was at Kolkata for medical studies ndash could stay in one of his friendlsquos
coal factory So during day time the factory used to be occupied by workers and during night Thakur
used to sleep on an ordinary bed laid at a corner of the factory
Thakur saw the poor working condition of the coal-factory-workers They had chapped heels
which used to bleed They never cared for themselves Those workers used to go into deep sleep after
taking their night meal Thakur then used to wash their cloths with washing powder and soda and
would hang it for drying Without their awareness He used to apply ointment on their feet Slowly
their feet started healing The workers started to think that it was the work of some angel However
one day they caught Thakur doing this They bowed ―We are so filthy creatures that no one even
looks at us Only god can take care of us in such a way You are definitely god
Thakur used to have dinner at a hotel arranged by the borrower After few weeks he tried to
trick Thakur to get rid of the incurring expenses One day Thakur saw phlegm ndash excreted from
human nose ndash on his rice plate Being in poverty Thakur discarded that part of the food and ate the
remaining When this didnlsquot work that person wrote to Shiv Chandra that the loan has been paid off
through the service which he had provided to Thakur
Now Thakur became homeless and like many the footpath of Sealdah station became His
home He just had a trunk and beside the trunk He used to put some newspaper on the ground to
solve the purpose of a bed Thakur did not inform anybody at home about this Many nights He used
to sleep on empty stomach as finding a part time job was quite difficult Further the winter made
things even more painful for Him though He never complained The homeless children at the station
became His friends and He used to spend time with them telling stories singing song and playing
games etc And when the hunger became quite intolerable He used to accept the invitation from one
of the childrenlsquos mother to share their little meal such as a piece of watermelon etc
When Thakur became 16 Manmohini Devi became concerned about Thakurlsquos marriage She
almost finalised His marriage with Sorosibala Devi I have known from people that Thakur didnlsquot
want to marry at that time and He expressed this intention to His mother However He would not
straight away confront ma Manmohini for He respected her the most Finally after a year ndash at the age
of 17 ndash Thakur was married to Sorosibala Devi who later came to be known as Boroma Leaving
Boroma with Manmohini Devi Thakur returned to Kolkata to continue His studies
For the next few years Thakur got closely attached with a slum area in Kolkata From Sealdah
station He went to live with a family in the slums By His simple efforts He changed the bad habits
of the inhabitants of slum area Ultimately it rendered into a very hygienic inhabitable place to stay
Thakur was not granted a degree by the orthodox education system Anyway when Thakur was going
to return to His village after completing His medical education the inhabitants rendered their love in
the form of small gifts whatever they could have afforded
When Thakur returned to Himaitpur Boroma wanted to conceive a child However Thakur had
no such intention at that point of time So whenever Boroma approached Thakur with sensual
intention Thakur composed his body in such a way giving an impression that He was an impotent
man Thakurlsquos father in law Ram Gopal Bhattacharya came to meet Manmohini Devi to talk in this
regard Manmohini Devi assured him that her Son is not infertile and that Soroshibala Devi would
beget a child within one year An incident describing Thakurlsquos aversion towards physical relation
could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind
and loved me the mostlsquo Within a year His first child Amerandranath Chakroborty was born who
later came to be popularly known as Borda
In 1911 after 6 years of study in medical science He began practicing medicine in His village
As a fee He accepted whatever the villagers humbly offered ndash rice vegetables etc By 1915 His
patient started considering Him a saint for anyone who received treatment from Him got cured
irrespective of the criticality of the disease
One day Thakur wonderingly went to see His friend Ananta Nath Roy in his poor windowless
hut He saw Ananta fasting for three days and came to know that he often fasts this long in a stretch
He became frail and was reduces to bones Ananta had lost his children and his wife So he was
fasting as a penance for he believed that he must have committed some grave sins in his past lives
However Thakur encouraged him saying that the village bears testimony of his loving and gentle
conduct Thakur said ―There is justice and reason behind everything that Supreme Father does but
such reason is not immediately recognised Sometimes it is wise to endure patiently until the Father
makes known His plan Few days later Thakur suddenly perceived something in His mind He
hurriedly ran towards the hut of Ananta and Manmohini Devi followed Him too On reaching He
knocked several times When no response came Thakur broke open the door by dashing it with His
shoulder He saw Ananta hanging with a rope tied around his neck still breathing Thakur brought
him down and for sometime cradled him like a child till he revived consciousness Ananta mourned ―I
will reincarnate and next time the Supreme Father might get me a guruhellip Thakur prayed to His
mother to impart the holy name to Ananta as she did to Him Thus Ananta became the first disciple of
Thakur
Thakur observed that the diseases suffered by the villagers were mostly psycho-physical Hence
Thakur began to take interest in Kirtan and propagate the same Thakur started doing kirtan with the
dacoits who resided in the jungle of Himayatpur He turned them from dacoits to civilized human
beings Thakurlsquos Kirtan movement gained pace and it drew hundreds of people from nearby villages
People started experiencing the thrill of the enchanting dance and music At a stage when the beats
and notes used to be at its peak Thakur used to go into a state of trance He didnlsquot have any pulse
during His trance He used to utter words in various languages one of which was Bengali He used to
address the thoughts of the people standing nearby and He used to talk on the matter of love devotion
spirit universe creation science etc His words had been composed into a book called Punya Punthi
or Holy book Few lines spoken in English are as follows
Yes Charity begins at home but you must expand it ndash the charity of homehelliphellipMy Lord I am
nothing but I ndash you must think all is not little all all is ndash supreme soul I am supreme soul ndashthe
Parabrahma 21
See the things which we see are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of the
spirithelliphellipwe see it
Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two
eyes at the root of the nose It is the spirit onward
My Lord let me go now I am quite unablw to remain any longer
Children You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have ―You and draw the spirit
onward This was my policy when I was Jesus You can search Holy Book 22
There were certain things which Thakur did not like yet He had to tolerate it just because His
mother liked it At the age of around 30 Anukul received this title namely Thakurlsquo ndash which means a
highly accomplished spiritual teacher ndash though He resisted it He once called Himself a leper an
account of which is documented in an authentic book named Amio Banilsquo The exact reference could
be found ahead in this book (in Chapter 5) The following few lines about Thakur taken from
Chapter-18 of the book named Being and Becominglsquo written by Hauserman further illustrates the
point
Often when we were alone hed relate some personal stories of his childhood and family His
intense love for his mother made it seem as if she could do no wrong So I had to ask one night
Werent you ever reprimanded by her
So many times its not possible to count
I had heard stories of some harsh treatment which at times almost verged on what we would
call today child abuse His reaction though was to develop an obsession to do something that would
gain her praise
He practiced the meditation she taught him with total intensity and then related his
experiences to her When he began falling into trances and miracles would happen people started
calling him thakur He was repelled by the adulation until he found that she seemed to be pleased
by it He contented himself with the fact that thakur can also mean cook as well as master or
teacher
When people sought him out for advice hed say Go see Ma The motive behind all his
remarkable achievements seems to have been to win her praise So I asked Didnt your mother ever
praise you
Only once but it was at such a time that I could not enjoy it at all His voice grew desolate as
he told the story His mother had been sick for some months and nothing seemed to help He tried
many kinds of medicine but she just grew weaker and weaker
Late one night she beckoned him to her side and said ―Anukul I only wanted to tell you that
you have fulfilled all my hopes Theres nothing left Now go and see that nobody has any trouble
Soon after she was gone He finally won her praise but at such a time when he could not cherish it
Thakur that seemed cruel I blurted out
He reacted as if I had struck him Think what you like But if Ma had not been the way she was
I could never have become what I am today
lsquo
In 1919 at the age of 31 Thakur refrained from participating in any more Kirtans He then
began His movement called ―Love for Labour for He believed that love cannot be achieved without
any service He accompanied by some devotees used to go from door to door offering their service ndash
mending the poor hut cleaning the drain cleaning the vegetable garden building a well etc ndash in
return for nothing Slowly without asking contributions started to flow in Those contributions were
used to equip the village with electricity schools hospitals factories Himaitpur was transformed
into heaven Alongside He started imparting His realizations in the form of verses discourses and
poems and of course through His own real life experiences He gave us the following eight principles
to follow
1) Jajan ndash It is a process of self-exaltation through meditation keeping alms observing fast
practicing kirtan etc In short it is an important part in the process of being and becoming through
active attachment to Living Ideal
2) Jaajan ndash It is a process of exaltation of others through pious means We may eagerly speak
about Living Ideal and describe His qualities It is an outcome of Jajan In other words when we
become exalted it shows up in our conduct We become eager to carry out the instructions of Living
Ideal and speak of His greatness Jaajan makes the surrounding more idealistic to existence
3) Istavriti ndash Understanding our capacity selflessly what we offer every morning before
taking food to our beloved Lord is Istavrity The word Istavriti could be broken into Istalsquo and
Vritylsquo ndash the former means wellbeinglsquo and the latter means nurturinglsquo Therefore it is a process of
nurturing our wellbeing It is often called Samarthya Yoglsquo means when we ardently do istavrity
nature enhances our ability in all grounds so that we can serve our Lord better
The above three principles can be summarised within the following motto
JAJANmdashJAAJANmdashISTAVRITI
To exalt oneself
with pious worship
is Jajanlsquo
to exalt others
with pious worship
is Jaajanrsquo
the daily sacred oblation
to your Lord
before taking any food
is ―Istavritilsquo
[The Message Vol II]
4) Swayastani ndash It has been beautifully described in an article written by a disciple of Thakur
name SPChakroborty
―The Swastyayani Bratalsquo is a consolidated form of five steps The first step asks us to realize
that God resides in every heart and goes on directing us every moment to be good The second step
explains us that the director of the supreme father comes to us as our inner voice and thought We
must act on that instruction The third step of the Bratalsquo asks us to remain conscious all the time for
the welfare of the society and the environment The fourth step teaches us to serve our Ideal with all
our passion and complexes The fifth and the last step makes us financially strong by offering daily
Swastyayani Arghya and preserve it seriously and utilize it in future as per command of the Lord
5) Sadachar ndash Sadachar is maintaining Hygiene at Physical Mental and Spiritual level
Physical hygiene involves activities such as keeping ourselves clean washing hands before and
after taking any food bathing regurly keeping toilets clean avoiding food cooked or served by
someone who does not follow hygienehellip
Mental hygiene involves abstaining from unhealthy thought or any object that induces
unhealthy thoughts
Spiritual hygiene is maintaining untottering adherence to Living Ideal and to follow Him
unconditionally
6) Adhyayan amp Addhipona ndash Adhyayan is a process of continuous investigation and invention
In other words it is the urge to understand the reason behind everything It makes us inquisitive and
makes us seek Him
Addhipona is process of spreading our learning in our environment In a way it helps to subdue
our ego for ego is a barrier to attaining real knowledge It also makes us more proactive and more
attached to Him
7) Viksha ndash It is a process of begging so that being away from the grip of ego or vanity we
are able to serve the environment better Vikshya is a process of requesting for some favour from
others in return for some service ndash no matter that service could be in the form of education Thakur
often used to ask for favours from people ndash things money work etc Sometimes He used to ask
someone to beg money from people and buy Him a particular thing Thus people often used to go
begging ―Thakur had asked me to get a camerahellip so could you please contribute somethinghellip
Some people ndash with greater spiritual development ndash found it a pleasing activity Some people found it
really difficult One of Thakurlsquos disciples whom Thakur made to go begging on numerous occasions
was Hauserman Hauserman beautifully describes one such account in Chapter-18 of the book named
Being and Becominglsquo written by him
Hey Soila your sari is torn Thakur noticed yet again Soila was one of a group of nearly
40 widows who clustered around Thakur because they had no other home Their families were either
dead or had driven them out and Thakur was their last resort
Some found work as a cook nurse or nanny The more aggressive and shrewd wheedled
their way into one of the small jobs around Thakur Soila was such a warrior who had honed her
skills at securing food and clothing to a fine art A woman in her fifties she had been driven from her
home because of her quarrelsome nature
Everyone knew she had several new saris in a box under her bed but regular additions
seemed important to her sense of security Wearing a torn sari in front of Thakur was part of her
program and it always worked
Where will I get the money to buy a new sari You know I live from hand to mouth she
would whine
Looking around the group Thakurs eyes would fall on me Hey Ray will you get Soila a
new sari
I did have some options here I could complain that I knew she had six new ones in a box I
could refuse Or I could follow Vivekanandas law of devotion articulated a century earlier To
follow the guru without any hesitation or doubt is the only way to spiritual success Which meant
begging the money and buying a sari
I knew well that obeying Thakur invariably brought its own rewards sometimes many times
more valuable than the item itself Then there was the pathetic story of Devi Das that flashed through
my mind Devi had innocently responded once to Thakurs request Who is it for That was 10 years
ago and Thakur had never turned to him again despite his anguished appeals to be called upon
With little money to my name I resorted to begging which in India is not necessarily
disreputable In fact in Hindu tradition it is taught that biksha for the guru helps to break the chains
of pride anger greed lust and infatuation
Different responses met my request as I went from door to door Some smiled when I
mentioned Thakur and gave me one or two rupees Some flatly refused knowing that Soila had
several new saris stashed away Some even slammed the door in my face But after 50 homes I had
the 42 rupees to buy a sari from the local Satsang cloth shop
Soila snatched it from my hand without a word of gratitude as if I were a servant Together
we pronamed to Thakur She left and the group returned to its discussion Taking my seat near
Thakur I felt lighter freer and emotionally closer to Him Whether this meant I was breaking the
chains of pride lust and greed I dont know but I wondered again at his easy skill in nurturing my
spiritual development by using Soilas character glitch ndash and perhaps only until she too became
strong enough in the environment of unconditional love to overcome it herself
lsquo
Further vikshya was once an integral part of Aryan culture Thakurlsquos primary objective was to
revive the Aryan civilization because once Aryans were the true lover of existence
8) Tapasya ndash It is a process of continual renouncement from material desires with an inner hankering
These are the eight principles that Thakur gave us to follow During those days in around 1918
Thakurlsquos followers in the village had grown in number Manmohini Devi suggested that they should
build an organization His motherlsquos happiness was His utmost priority Thus the organization named
Satsanglsquo was formed and she played a lead role in its formation Though at later stages Thakur
expressed His concern over the uncontrolled growth of Satsang through improper initiation
Many eminent people came to see Thakur and many of them accepted Him as their ideal One
such person was Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ndash a freedom fighter the president of Swaraj Party and
the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation He took initiation in the year 1924 One year later in 23rd
May 1925 he returned to Himaitpur with Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had a short tour of the ashram
just before he meets Thakur He thought in his mind that Thakur would some bearded ascetic wearing
typical saffron attire However when he met Thakur he saw a cheerful and friendly man with simple
clothing ndash white dhoti and a white tea shirt Gandhiji had discussions with Thakur on various topics
including independence-movement Gandhiji was so influenced by Manmohini Devi that he
commented ―hellip I have never seen such a masterful woman in my life After few days Das da would
expire Just few days later Mahatma Gandhi published an article titled At Darjeelinglsquo in the
newspaper Young Indialsquo encapsulating a message from Das da to Gandhiji
―hellipI have learned from my Guru (Ideal) the value of truth in all our dealings I want to live
with him for a few days at least Your need is not the same as mine but he has given me strength I
did not possess before I see things clearly which I saw dimly beforehellip
[Young India 16-7-1925]
Gandhiji once again met Thakur on 23rd
May 1925 along with Dr Rajendra Prasad who later became
the first vice president of India
Thakur laid down rules on marriage and revealed that a man can marry more than once under
certain condition ndash provided the marriage takes place on the insistence of the first wife and the manlsquos
parents approves it Such a marriage is called supra-selective polygamy The following discussion
between a woman and Thakur taken from Chapter-1 of the book named Answer To The Quest ndash Ilsquo
written by Ray Archer Hausarman further illustrates it
―
What is supra-selective polygamylsquo
Supra-selective polygamy was practiced I think when Abraham the Patriarch married
Hagar the hand-maid at Sarahlsquos insistence For when a woman of lesser tradition is united in
sacred wed-lock with a man of a greater at his wifelsquos insistence then supra-selective polygamy is
practiced often to fulfil and exalt the needs of existencelsquo
But Thakurlsquo the young American woman protested it is said that Sarah ultimately became
jealous of Hagar and even drove her away I donlsquot see how this exalted anybodylsquos existencelsquo
Thakur smiled softly But from Sarahlsquos son Jacob came Christ the benevolent Blessing of
Providence From Hagarlsquos son Ishmael came Mohammed ndash the Servant of Survival Did they not
heighten the glow of Providence Were they not the super-sonorous urge of Heavenlsquo
In the spring of 1930 Boromalsquos younger sister came to spend her vacation at Satsang She was
a student of science at King Edward College She got so much impressed by Thakur that she decided
to marry Him else she would not marry at all in her entire life She went and convinced Manmohini
Devi and Boroma though Thakur never intended to marry her Manmohini Devi was so moved by
her strong desire that she urged Thakur to marry her Again Thakur being devoted to His mother
was bound to agree Thus on Nov 17 1930 Thakur was married to Sarba Mangala whom we
commonly refer as Chotoma
On 23rd
May 1937 Manmohini Devi took her last breadth Moments before her demise she
expressed to Thakur ―Anukul you have fulfilled all my hopes Never her mother praised Him
before Only now when it is her last momenthellip
In 1940 20 years after Satsang was formed it had a permanent population of 8000 resident 500
ritwiks and more than a quarter million disciples who had taken initiation
In the year 1946 the tension between Hindus and Muslims was at its peak On Sep 1946
Thakur accompanied by all His devotees at Pabna permanently left the place and came to Deoghar
in Bihar (now in Jharkhand) The crores of rupees of asset at Pabna ndash comprising of schools hospitals
industries etc ndash was left at its own fate for Thakur knew that it was the people who were His real
asset A two storied rented accommodation called Boral Bungalowlsquo became His accommodation
Initially resources were scanty and they had to survive on half filled stomach However with Thakur
amidst them the zeal and enthusiasm of the people were never lacking On 15th Aug 1947 Himaitpur
became a part of Pakistan Within few years with the ardent effort of His disciples the empire of
Satsang was erected once again ndash school hospitals buildings etc were built again
In May 1956 at the age of 68 Thakur suffered a stroke which made His right side paralysed
However Thakur recovered completely after few weeks Slowly Borda started taking over the
responsibilities of Satsang Thakur died in the year 1969 From 1960 to 1969 Thakur had to undergo
tremendous mental sufferings He kept on repeating
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
During the end days He used to slap on His own face with His own sandals He used to lock Himself
for several hours in the toilet He even said ―Jesus is being crucified everyday Unable to withstand
the pain of Thakur few of His very dear devotees feeling helpless left Deoghar ―What made Thakur
suffer ndash This question has never been answered publicly Nor does anyone bother to ask this
question I feel very upset when I wonder ―Is there no one who loves Thakur more than his career
family and personal matters Does no one of us ever have time to analyze what surpassed Thakur
during the last few years of His life I wonder how many people ndash out of present millions of
devotees ndash even know the life story of Thakur I wonder why the general mass doesnlsquot know about
Thakur like they know about Lord Ram Lord Krishna Lord Buddha and Lord Jesusmdashgiven the fact
that Satsang is the richest spiritual organization in the world in terms of daily offering
Chapter 4
What Thakur Accomplished
A glance of the personality and nature of Thakur could be found in the book named ―Sri Sri
Thakur Anukul Chandra The man who knew my mind and loved me the mostlsquo written by a devotee
named Sushil Ranjan Das and later translated into English by Dr Debesh C Patra Thakur was very
kind and loving yet He always wanted to be very strict with every disciple for He knew that without
discipline the word disciplelsquo will not become meaningful Here my effort is to summarize a few of
the distinct accomplishment made by Thakur during His life
Thakur has contributed more than 100 books to mankind Some of the books contain only
verses The quality of knowledge is so profound that it amazed the most learned section of the society
comprising of people like Rabindranath Tagore Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc Thakur used to
speak on different topics like creation science quantum physics spiritualism dharma life marriage
medicine conduct etc
A disciple named Prafulla Kumar Das used to note everything Thakur used to speak He used to
accompany Thakur all the time Prafulla Kumar Das was an ardent follower of Ramkrishna
Paramhans ndash the guru of Swami Vivekananda Ramkrishna Paramhans had predicted that two years
after discarding His mortal cage He would reincarnate somewhere on Earth Thus He instructed His
wife Saroda Maa that she should continue to observe the custom of a married woman after His death
instead of wearing a white saree which typically a widow wears in India even though it is considered
a taboo She did so and she had to face the contempt of the society Prafulla da knew the fact about
His gurulsquos reincarnation His quest to find his guru brought him to Thakur thinking that the wisdom
of this saint might help him to locate his guru
After spending some time with Thakur he came to know that Thakur it was whom Prafulla da
was searching for Thakur used to explain about saint Ramkrishna as if He was explaining His past
Since then he stayed with Thakur throughout Thakurlsquos life Later when Prafulla da became aged his
role was assumed by Debi Prasad Mukherjee another disciple of Thakur Debi da used to note down
the discourses of Thakur with people and all the verses and important facts which Thakur used to
utter The entire series of the book called Deeprakhi has been compiled from notes taken by Debi da
It is by virtue of these two disciples of Thakur that we are able to read Thakurlsquos sayings which exist
today in the form of books

Mobilizing en masse
In 1945 Thakur talked with eminent political leaders in India He analysed their thoughts and
understood that they are busy with their political activities and were not concerned about the rising
tension between Hindus and Muslims or about the country He foresaw that these leader would fail to
the conspiracy of the British Empire and India was would be partitioned He pretended to fall sick
For days He complained of headache dizziness Eminent brain-specialists from Kolkata were called
for His treatment They doctors analysed Thakur but failed to identify any disease This news of
Thakurlsquos illness gradually got circulated to peoples They fell in despair Then Thakur suddenly said
one day
―I had a dream Lord Badrinath is calling me I must go to Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar Bihar
There if I drink the holy water and receive the holy water on my head My ailment would be cured
Those days ndash even today ndash people had strong faith in such beliefs Thakur said
―All of us would go and visit Badrinath Dham
People were charmed with the idea of a tour On Sep 1946 He asked Sushil Bose to visit the place
beforehand and make all arrangements With the help of Binodananda Jha the then chief minister of
Bihar Sushil da rented the Boral Bungalow It was a very old architecture with cracked walls broken
window frames and the surrounding 5 acres area was filled with wild grasses and weeds But it was
the largest vacant building available at that time As per Thakurlsquos instructions people travelled in
single cloth to Deoghar without carrying much luggage and belongings After reaching Deoghar
Thakur never planned to return to Pabna Since then Thakur never uttered the name of Pabna though
many people initially insisted that they must return home
The question is ―Why Thakur did so Why didnlsquot Thakur say something like ―India is going to be
partitioned and so we must move to Deoghar I think that had He revealed it the political leaders
could have manipulated His statement Further the British Empire could have turned hostile towards
Him and His disciples knowing that their conspiracy would be disclosed Again this goes to show His
ability to handle critical situation tactfully and peacefully
Do never die nor cause death but resist death till death [Sri Sri Thakur]
During the year 1920 a cholera epidemic broke out in the village of Thakur and its surrounding
area For many weeks Thakur and some of His disciples worked round the clock to prepare a herbal
cure Then Thakur with His group of doctors and disciples went from cottage to cottage nursing and
comforting the patients and at the same time making a careful inspection to see that the instructions
concerning treatment and sanitation were carried out Soon news about Thakurlsquos miraculous remedy
reached every corner of Bengal and request for this cure were reaching to Satsang Not a single
disciple nor a single patient who received the cure died due to Cholera Not just death due to disease
Thakur has given us ways to resist death due to any unnatural means
ৎ-তিনতোে তনভতিত থোও ৎ-ওষভথ লতোভোয োে ষফ এফং লতোভোয িততদথও ৎ লে ওর ভে লতোভোয যকষো ওযষফআ ওযষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Be immersed in enlivening thoughts enlivening deeds will be your helpers and your surroundings
being enlivened shall surely always save you
মতআ অও অদ তফদ লমভতন লোও পরোণ
আসটফতত অষনআ অষন ফোয তযতরোন [Sri Sri Thakur] Means
No matter whatever trouble comes to your life
Istavriti will always bring alleviation for everyone
মান আন টাকা র যত াররস মান ধর [Shi Shi Thakur]
Means
People ndash our own money ndash not our own catch people as many as you can
During His teenage he gave His examination fee to one of His needy friend and He Himself
dropped from examination During His medical studies Thakur stayed on the footpath of Sealdah
Station still giving attention to the poor kids around It was also the time when Thakur went to stay
with a family in a slum area just to teach them sanitation and ways of proper living Thakur always
paid personal attention to anyone who came to see Him Thakur used to nurture everyone differently
for He knew ―No two things in this universe are same So everyone needs to be treated as per their
distinctiveness In 1946 when Thakur shifted to Deoghar from Himaitpur He left all his property
worth around 25 crore(25 million) rupees behind ndash in todaylsquos valuation it would be few thousand
crore However He did not leave a single man behind The early days at Deoghar were very tough
Each day for the next few months along with devotees people from the surrounding places used to
take food at Anandabazar ndash the community kitchen of Satsang To accommodate every hungry
stomach the quantity of served food had to be limited Even Thakur used to suffice with little amount
however not a single person was denied food When a news reporter sought permission from Thakur
to publish this event Thakur queried ―Do you feed your children everyday
Reporter - ―Yes
Thakur -―Go and publish that
So Thakur felt just like a father and the people were His children
Thakur attracted various people from all over the world Many people including Mahatma
Gandhi parents of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose(were disciples) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das Lal Bahadur Shastri Ananta Sayanam Ayengar(former Speaker of
Lok Sabha) the Russian council the Council of Arab Republic etc came to visit Him If anyone
bowed his head before Him Thakur too reciprocated with folded hands to convey their prayer to the
supreme father It was always so easy to approach Thakur In fact He was so simple that He always
wore a white dhoti and a white undercloth Looking at Him amidst a crowd of people it was difficult
to differentiate Him from the others because of His simple disposition Yet Thakur had over 50 lakh
(5 million) followers towards the end of his life in late 1960lsquos
Revival of Kirtan Movement
Kirtan is a form of dance involving jumping and throwing oneself towards the sky ndash out of
devotion ndash in combination with high-note music involving instruments like conch shell drum and
metal plates Kirtan is sometimes more effective than meditation and it induces a sense of
submissiveness within us Secondarily Kirtan rejuvenates our cells and makes our heart stronger thus
alleviating us of many diseases Steve Jobs during the early stage of his career ndash when he was just an
ordinary man ndash came to India and practiced Kirtan Kirtan was originally invented by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu ndash a renowned 14th century Bengali prophet ndash and in due course of time it lost its
significance Satish Chandra Goswami was the direct descendent of Adyaitya who in turn was a
distinct disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Satish da became a disciple of Thakur
Thakur started practicing Kirtan during His mid 20lsquos Once He went for a three week tour to
adjoining cities with His dance group At a certain stage during Kirtan Thakurlsquos feet wouldnlsquot touch
the floor He used to go in a state of trance wherein His bodily functions ndash such as heartbeat pulse
and breathing ndash used to collapse With prior consent of Thakur people placed red hot burning coal on
His shoulderhellippierce iron rod through His feet When Thakur came out of trance all signs of torture
seemed disappeared The environment of Kirtan used to be so harmonious that it attracted thousands
and thousands of people Thus when the entire world was raging into World War I Thakur and
thousands of His disciples were intoxicated by love
Even today within the community of Satsang Kirtan is quite prevalent I stayed in a Satsang
centre for one year where there used to be a weekly satsang (here it means a spiritual gathering) and
Kirtan for around 45 min It used to be an energetic experience for me
Around 3-4 years after starting his Kirtan movement Thakur was questioned ―What would be
the fate of Kirtan movement when you are gone Thakur kept silent for a while with a sigh of
graveness He broke His silence
―Love caught in a moment of rapture will fly away If you would give yourself to Lovehellip abide
in Lovehellip it must be drawn carefully through your every thoughthellip shape your every word with its
free flowhellip determine every act of your body
And this must be so weather you are at work or at easehellip weather you deal with friend or foe
This is the only way that Love can be of service to you and through you to all [Ocean in a Teacup
Pg-94]
Since then Thakur never participated in a single Kirtan I feel through this act Thakur wanted
to indicate Kirtan is a part of life not a way of lifelsquo You must be wondering Then what is the way
of lifelsquo Well this will be discussed in the next chapter
Independence means Inter-dependence
lsquoQuit Exploitation not India Cooperation not non-cooperationrsquo
Satsang was never in disharmony with the British administration Why would it when nobody
in satsang sought freedom for in Thakurlsquos presence they never needed any external freedom The
then Governor of Bengal and a graduate of science Sir John Anderson became an admirer of Satsang
When Mahatma Gandhi came to see Thakur they discussed on various topics one of which
was Freedomlsquo Ganhiji sought His divine blessing so that he could succeed in his non-cooperation
movement Thakur explained ―The British people are also an integral part of nature and hence non-
cooperation could not be a solution because in nature there is cooperation not non-cooperation Nor
should we ask British to quit India instead we should ask them to quit exploitation Thakur clearly
warned Gandhiji that what he was considering as a benediction is in fact a curse on the future of the
nation However Gandhiji concluded arrogantly ―I donlsquot understand all these things I just want to
seek your blessing for the non-cooperation movement In deed today we see that non-cooperation
has reached every family every society and every organization and everywhere we can possibly
imagine including human mind The decision that we make are not in coordination with each other
We do not do what we think or speak what we did Thakur believed that coordination between
thinking speaking and doing is the foundation of spiritualism Thakur had the vision that the British
people staying in India could have lead to a generation of superior progeny for the British people
usually belong to a higher clan or varna Had it materialised I feel that India would have been a world
leader today
In the coming days though Gandhiji would send some of his erring workers to Thakur to get
adjusted spiritually yet the damage was already done The following excerpts originally in Bengali
is a translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 41-43 by a disciple of Thakur
named Subrata Ghosh The words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question Well what is that we are going to do with this dharma or saadhna or life ndash what is that we
gain if we remain subservient ndash if we cannot win over the environment What is your idea about
Swaraaj (self-governing)1
Shri Shri Thakur Swaraaj to me does not mean hatred towards the British By Swaraaj I understand
accomplishing all that I need to do to keep my existence going and through that true Swaraaj is
gained When we can establish ―swa or self within and without ndash both sides then only the real
Swaraaj is achieved If the British get in the way of this they will automatically leave us ndash otherwise
becoming a friend they will get amalgamated with us
Imagine if someone has the germ of tuberculosis inside his body the doctor will try to recover his
health and for that he will arrange appropriate foods medicines fresh air etc When the patient gets
well he then declares he is out of dangerlsquo In the same way we too need to recover our lost health
Thus to elevate activity and to push becoming there is a need for establishing banks factories etc
Question But if the interests of the British take a beating will they not destroy all these
establishments ndash much like the way they destroyed our textile industry
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever has been destroyed is verily due to our own fault Had there been no
blemishes within us nobody could have ever destroyed that

Question There is a big laboratory in Presidency college but their research is not increasing our
national wealth in any way ndash why is it so
Shri Shri Thakur That is because one cannot be committed to a fulltime employment and
simultaneously doing (real)research work1 The research which is inspired from the thought of
addressing the need of the country caring for the welfare of the fellow countrymen by ensuring
continued improvement upon their health education wealth and peace is the real research and this
is what is endorsed by the Arya-dharmalsquo as well The scientists of other developed nations verily do
this and so without beating the drums of dharma they happen to be the real dhaarmik
Question People say there is no connection between science and dharma ndash rather they are like the
opposite poles Science increases worldly comfort whereas dharma brings in renunciation
Shri Shri Thakur Science itself is the guide to the nectarine path of life Science verily shows us how
to lead a blissful life how to live and grow unabatedly2 That is why dharma itself invites science
Science is the vision of spirituality In the process of realising the soul all that it beholds gradually
become visible The knowledge gained in this process is the real science and also the real spirituality

Thakur had brought such a harmonious correlation between Dharma and Science In simple
words Thakur explained that Dharma or Spiritualism or Truth is anything that upholds life and
existencelsquo Many people from Muslim community and Christian community came to see Thakur
They questioned Him on Jesus Christ and Prophet Hazrat Rasool Thakur answered each and every
question and showed that there is no contradiction amongst prophets The present prophet is always
the best fulfiller of the past prophets He gives furtherance to the mission of past prophets And at any
point of time there can be only a single prophet or son of godlsquo as they are not different but the same
prophet incarnating at different times He indicated clearly in His Purushottam-vandana (prayer) that
Purushottam or Son of Godlsquo has incarnated 8 times in this epoch (4 yugas)
Two Muslims once came to Thakur for initiation saying that He was a greater prophet then
Muhammed Thakur replied ―Donlsquot come to me if you wish to change your faith Your prophet is as
dear to Me as every other Leave their sayings aside if they confuse you Meditate on the Saint
Himself If a Muslim comes to me with sincere desire to love Muhammed with all his heart then I
would receive him with open and joyous heart The two Muslims returned after few weeks and
declared ―We have studied the teachings of Muhammed every night and wee understood that He is a
true prophet This time Thakur accepted them as His disciples They became the first Muslim
disciples of Thakur
Syed Khaliluddin a Mouluvi (Musim priest) of the Islamic community at Pabna became a
follower of Thakur He got his son educated at the Tapovan School under supervision of Thakur
Similarly Reverend Fred Hawkyard director of the British Christian Mission at Pabna came to see
Thakur He was amazed to hear how Thakur spoke about Christ with such conviction seldom
encountered among Christians Thus many people from different communities came to Thakur and
took initiation
New realms of science
During the days at Pabna the science laboratory called Word science centre or Biswa Bigyan
Kendralsquo was formed Ray A Hauserman describes it in his book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo -
―The site for the laboratory was picked out and Thakur entered
into all details of planning and building with such energy and boyish
enthusiasm that everyone in the community desired to take part
Devotees who worked in Himaitpur or Pabna by day even insisted
on erecting flares so that they might make bricks and otherwise
contribute to the effort by night The air vibrated with talk of electricity
and solar heat of new equipment and machinery that
were soon to make higher level scientific research possible ndash Pg 127
―Ultimately Satsang had its own printing press and imported
two Ipswich generators which provided the electrical power required
by the research laboratories in Viswa Bignan Kendra and
also supplied electricity to the homes and streets in Satsang ndash Pg 43
Thus 90 years back when there was no electricity supply in some of the advanced towns in
India a small village in the Jungle of Pabna was equipped with electricity
Thakur had also conceptualised an instrument called Vibrometer which could infuse life into a
dead person provided all his vital organs are intact Thus according to Thakur a person dying of
drowning heart attack fever etc could be revived by inducing a vibration into him through that
instrument
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 27-28 by Subrata Ghosh The
words in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question You think death is a curable disease ndash so when treated properly can one get cured from it
Shri Shri Thakur I feel many deaths are curable If the organs do not get damaged from death at
least such deaths are curable ndash like for example death from heart failure drowning cholera etc A
man can be revived from such types of death For that matter all living beings can
be revived by induction of life-energy
Question Have you ever revived someone yourself
Shri Shri Thakur No but I think it is possible to revive In fact it is not my opinion alone nowadays
in the western world many eminent personalities are conducting research on this1
Question Have you done any experiment on this
Shri Shri Thakur I have not done any such experiment in a planned manner However I have seen
such incidents happening in front of me
Long time ago I found some positive result when without any intention of reviving I steadily gazed on
an objecthaving revolved inside my mind something capable of exciting life-energy like a root sound
I saw a dead cockroach I looked at it for fifteen minutes felt pain in my heart and subsequently
started chanting name ndash incessantly When my nerves became very sensitive and receptive I gazed
upon the insect ndash within half an hour it got revived and went away
Another day I saw a dung-beetle lying there ndash half eaten by something I stared at it continuously and
in less than an hourlsquos time its legs started moving It remained like that for a long time and then died
again I do not know if there could be any other reason behind such incidents I nevertheless felt that
it was my action which made it happen because before doing so I made sure to the best of my
knowledge that it was really lifeless

1 ndash Dr Eisenmenger of Austria had reportedly done such experiments
ndash― Two dogs have died twice at the university of California The experiments were conducted by Dr
R E Cornish He killed the dog by inhalation of ether and seven minutes after it died revived it so
that it lived for eight hours [AB Patrika 27th April 1934]
ndash BERKELEY Calif March 7 (UPI)---Dr Robert Cornish a biochemist whose proposals to
restore life in executed murderers 16 years ago made him the center of a medical legal and
ethical furor died yesterday at the age of 59 after a heart attack
Dr Cornish attracted national attention in the middle 1930s when he restored dead dogs to life
in his University of California laboratory His work made him the target of an antivivisectionist
protest that caused his removal from the university where he had set an array of records
Graduated at 18 he was at 22 the youngest person to receive a doctorate from the university
In his experiments with dogs he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and about five minutes
later inject a solution of blood heparin and adrenalin One dog lost his sight but seemed
otherwise unaffected [From United Press International March 7 1963]
Terrorist spiritually reformed
On January 1938 at the dark hours of the night a terrorist named Rama Shankar came to
Thakur in the disguise of a monk The British government had placed a reward of rupees 20000 on
his capture dead or alive Obsessed by the intention to drive the British from India he had blown up
a train in which many British along with many Indians died He came to Thakur as a last resort to
get his life saved
The immediate morning Thakur got him a haircut shave bath and some new cloths Then
Thakur asked him to go and surrender at the police station He was shocked Still he summoned up
courage and did what was advised by his guru His gentle outfit however made the police to confirm
his identity out of scepticism which took few days Thakur then instructed a very meek and timid
disciple named Bholanath to go and talk to the British officials to get Rama Shankar released Initially
Bholanath hesitated however Thakur assured ―The seed of Supreme Father is within you and I shall
be at your side constantly as close as your heartbeat You will succeed After few days of
continuous effort Bholanath was able to meet Mr Bruce Deputy inspector general of the Criminal
Investigation department of the province of Bihar He cited few examples of how Thakur treated
everyone either Hindu or Christian equally For the next few days Bholanath made rounds of the
police station waiting for another opportunity to meet Bruce until he got one Bruce was impressed
and he made a very favourable report on Rama Shankarlsquos case However Bruce was not decisive as it
was not under his authority to grant such a pardon Bholanath pleaded Bruce to let him talk to the
other officers
Bholanath succeeded in convincing the other officers Rama Shankar was deported to Satsang
Ashram on parole Once every week Rama Shankar had to report to the police station until he was
unconditionally released after few months 13 years later Rama Shankar represented India at the
International Labor Organization meeting in London
Chapter 5
What Thakur will accomplish
Today on Earth more than 50 thousand children die every day due to hunger nearly 1 billion
people go to sleep with half-filled stomach What is the cause of such adverse situation in the world
today Today the world wouldnlsquot have been such had Thakurlsquos ideology been by His then disciples
which He wanted It appears that there are certain things which Thakur could not accomplish during
His lifetime Whether He was able to accomplish everything or not this question comes later First let
us understand what Thakur actually wanted
Misinterpretation of Thakurrsquos Intention
আষটগর রষলোততভ
পরতীও গর-ফংধয
লযত-যীষয পত লথষও
জযোনত তততন তনযনতয [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants are symbolic Guru
Remaining dormant in seminal body
He is continuously alive
In other words Purushottam remains alive through his descendants The question is-
Why were descendants of Lord Krishna had to be so ndash that Krishna had to bury them along with
the city of Dwarka by a tsunami That part of the city is still under the ocean near the ocean bed
Why were descendants of Ram Luv and Kush had to be so ndash that Ram had to commit suicide
in the river Sarayu
Why did Gautam Buddha said to His son Rahula ―You are like the golden bowl which can hold
water yet the water is not good for drinking you could not be of any help to mankind
Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that there is darkness under the lamp ndash Verily they were
always the most near and dear ones of Purushottam who has been the cause of His failures and even
deaths during most of His descends on Earth
Most importantly why did Thakur say
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur had uttered these words on many occasions towards the end of His life Before I clear
your doubts let us see what Thakur meant in the following saying
―Narrow minded selfish men are fools
Thakur explained that all people including Jesus Christ are selfish However the selfishness
of Jesus is concerning everyone Our selfishness is concerning ourselves our family our neighbour
community and so onhellip The more narrow minded we are the more foolish we are It was this
foolishnesslsquo of people because of which Thakurlsquos mission remained incomplete and He was
subjected to intense suffering during the last 9 years of His life
Thus I think that the first verse discussed in this chapter means
Purushottam(son of God) is Ideal or Guru
His descendants should endeavour to become symbolic Guru
Only then remaining dormant in the seminal body of their descendants
He would be continuously alive
To explain further When the descendants of Purushottam would endeavour towards their being
and becoming ndash by a continuous effort to uphold the guidelines of the Purushottam ndash only then the
Purushottam can stay alive through the bloodline of the descendants
Unity between Hindus and Muslims
IN th book Rashul Gitalsquo Debi da illustrates that the word Allahlsquo can also be seen in Sanskrit
language which derives from the root words Allsquo + Lalsquo which means abundancelsquo ( )and lsquoacceptancersquo( ) respectively Therefore it indicates that He who is holding this abundance
(Universe) is Allahlsquo
Communal interest
During the early days of his spiritual attainment when Thakur was 22 His Kirtan movement
was attracting people from far off places Also came Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya popularly
known as Kestoda He was a research assistant of Dr CV Raman a physicist who later won Nobel
Prize When Thakurlsquos follower grew in number from hundreds to thousands Kestoda approached
Thakur with a plan to create an organization or community However the simple apparently non-
impressive kind-hearted people-loving Thakur would never like the idea of a community for Thakur
came to break all communities not create one
কতি োযথী র লমআ নওর লনতো জোতন লআ | [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Whoever has a communal interest know that he is a fake leader
Kestoda approached Manmohini Devi Manmohini Devi was impressed with the idea and she
made Thakur oblige The organization called Satsanglsquo was formed
Within few months after Satsang was formed Kestoda conceived the idea of a Viswa Guru festival
He prepared a list of accomplishment of Thakur ―hellip On that day Thakur levitated during Kirtan On
such day a dead boy was revived by Thakurhellip
It is people which Thakur wanted not organization or popularity Thakur had to agree after
Manmohini Devi intervened when Kestoda approached her The biswa-guru event occurred and
people gathered in tens of thousand from different parts of India Seven trains specially arranged for
this event ran from different parts of India After this event Thakur verily declared
ফযোোযটো ওত serious ওlsquoলয লপরো ষেষছ তোlsquo ফঝষছন লতো অষভওো তফশবোগর ফlsquoলর পরওো ওlsquoলয তদষে কষট-ফযোতধগরসত ওlsquoলয অভোয ওোজ ওযোয ফোধো ঈতিত ওযোে লআ ওোজ ওযোয বোয তোয responsibility অনোযো তনষজয খোষি তনষে লপষরষছন ফঝষছন লতো [Amio Bani Pg 71]
Means
How serious the matter has been made have you understood By exposing Me as a universal-guru
thus making Me a leper creating hinderance to My working you have taken that responsibility of the
work on your own shoulder understood
Initiation without Swastyayani
Kestoda was too optimistic and he realised that more and more people needed to be initiated because
they would become a source of working capital for Satsang He was aware of Thakurlsquos guideline ndash
Swastyayani vrata first then initiation
সবসতযেনী লম লনে নো ঈননতত লত িষর নো Means
―Those who do not follow Swastyayani vrata they do not move along betterment
Swastyayani vrata is a standard set of practice formulated by Thakur Today we see a similar
practice within the followers of ISKCON community There the followers need to ardently follow
four guidelines strictly for few years and only after that they get initiated with the holy name of Lord
Krishna Those four guidelines are
1) Refraining from non-vegetarian food and living on purely vegetarian diet
2) Refraining from any kind of Addiction like Alcohol tobacco tea coffee etc
3) Refraining from gambling such as playing cards etc
4) Refraining from illicit sex
Kestoda with the help of Manmohini devi changed the principle of ―Swastyayani first then
initiation Thus today we see that anybody can take initiation without first accepting Swyastani vrata
The idea behind the change was to encourage more initiation
Mass initiation
ঈকত দোদো - Miracle-এয (ষরৌতওওতোয) ওথো ফরষত োযষর ষনও ভে দীকষো লফী ে
শরীশরীঠোকয - অতভ লতো এআবোষফ দর ফোিোষত িোআ নো ভোনল িোআ ভোনল inner (নতষয) ৎঙগী অষছআ ফোািো-ফোিোআ তোয inner hankering (জোত িোতদো) ভোনলগতর মতদ ফোাষি ফোষি অেষমোন lsquoলে ষঠ energetic active (ঈদযভী তিে) lsquoলে ষঠ তোষর অভোয রোব লমভন লতোভোয রোব লতভতন ঐ লযণয রোব লতভতন অয তোlsquo মতদ নো ে তোষর ওতগতর ভোনল তনষে দর ফোিোরোভ তওছ-তওছ আষটবতত ওযরোভ তোাlsquoলত অয ওী lsquoর
Means
Ukta dada ndash If we can talk about miracle then often more initiation takes place
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I never wanted to increase the group like this I want men Men are inner satsangi
Being and becoming is his inner hankering If these men exists grows becomes long-lived becomes
energetic active then it would be equally profitable to me like it is to you and to this Renu (indicating
a lady present there) And if that does not happen then increasing the group with few people doing
litte-little istavrity what is the use of that
Whom to send Istavriti
আষষটয ফততথভোষন তোাlsquoয নতোননতততয ভষধয তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোযোেণ ঈমকত তমতন তা ৎওোষ তওংফো বোষফ তনষঠ অিোযফোন তা ৎিমথযোতনযত ঈমকত তলয তমতন তা ৎওোষ ঐ আষটপরীতযষথথ আষটবতত োঠোষত ষফ [Dhriti Bidhayana Vol2 Verse 328]
Means
In the absence of Ishta (Ideal) send Ishtabhriti to the one among His descendants who is worthy
closely adhered to Him and observant of His ideologies or in the absence of such a person in His
lineage send Ishtabhriti for pleasing the Ishta to one among His disciples who is deserving and
closely adhered to Him
Thakur never said something like ―In my absence Istavrity must be sent to Satsang ashram Deoghar
Allowance System and Character of Ritwik
Today every ritwick is paid an allowance from Satsang organization though initially it was not so
Once during the time of Thakur it was introduced against the will of Thakur
শরীশরীঠোকয - অয অভোয ভষন ে allowance (বোতো) এআ ভোনগতরষও তোজো lsquoলত তদর নো ওোতরদোদো - অভোয ভষন ে অজ মতদ allowance-টো লছষয তদআ ওোর ওী ঔোফ

Means
Thakur ndash hellip and I feel this allowance system did not allow these people(ritwiks) to be spirited
Kalidas da ndash I feel if I leave this allowance today then what will I eat tomorrow
Thakur ndash It (allowance) has become dearer to you compared to me What you get without asking is
enough to feed five men
hellipThakur - hellip I never wanted to give such things(allowance) I donlsquot know what Khepu( Thakurlsquos
middle brother) and others have done
Later Gurudasda said to Thakur that he would stop taking allowance from that month Hearing this
there was a spark of delight on Thakurlsquos face He said ―Very good V-e-r-y g-o-o-d Now see how the
cub of a lion becomes the true lion After a pause he further said
তিতিঠোকয - ফতি অভনতয যোঔো রোষক লম অতভ নো িোআষত মোlsquo লরোভ তোআ-আ বকফোষনয দোন ফlsquoলর ভষন ওযষত ে তোlsquo ওোঈ এওটো ীষযয অংটিআ তদও অয োরো-ফোষচোৎ কোতরআ তদও োরো মতদ লওঈ ফষর তোষত তফযকত ফ নো অভোয তও তরটিয জনয োরো ফরর লটো লফয ওযফ [Deeparakhi Vol 3 Pg 139]
Means
Thakur Our thinking should be such that without my asking whatever I get it should be considered
as a gift of god So someone gives us a diamond ring or an obsene insult like sister-fucker If someone
uses abusive language with us we should not be annoyed We should find out our fault for which he
abused

Means
Sarat da ndash What is meant by becoming bound to come to track
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Lets say someone is employed somewhere and whatever salary he gets with that his
his life goes easily By standing on it he might move by beign indifferent to the surrounding to a large
extent though keeping communication with surrounding is indispensable for catering the needs of life
But if you have to be dependent on you surrounding to fulfil your monetary requirement then for the
sake of that (fulfilling your needs) at least you would look on them and you would do for them Like
this becoming bound to do (for them) again and again doing would come into practice And the more
doing would turn into habit the better Amidst fulfilling desire resides greediness Thus doing for
environment should be converted into practice I had no intention for establishing allowance etc I
used to think people will stand on people everybody being dependent on each other will stay like a
great family by being interdependent And everyone will provide service independently by any means
and to any extent possible But allowing system getting introduced My that plan has been shattered
to a large extent
Coal Money Land Men
In Alochana Prasanga Vol 4 Thakur had conspicuously discussed His plan of raising 500
bighas of land in every district He had plans to accumulate coal He had plans for raising funds He
had plans of creating Touring batches comprising of ritwiks who could visit diffirent parts of India
The idea behind touring batch was to educate initiate people through the help of ritwiks and workers
to gather people with different skillset for industry reform to revolutionize agriculture to cater to the
security needs of the country to revolutionize healthcare to encourage art hellip Ironically nothing of
the above schemes materialised till date Nor there is any attempt to bring to light what Thakur
wanted because this would make some authoratitive people answerable to the common mass
Original Prayer forgotten
Thakur had to sit amidst devotees during morning and evening prayers Towards the end of His
life Thakur once fell sick Borda under the pretext of Thakurlsquos illness replaced the original prayers
of Thakur with the Hindi prayer of Dayalbagh Satsanglsquo community which was just a little shorter
than the former Thakur gave His consent to it though Thakur meant them to be changed only
temporarily The original Bengali prayer encapsulated a summary of Thakurlsquos ideology Till today it
has not been restored within the common people Perhaps someone may think that the Hindi prayer
Hindi being our national language would attract more people towards Satsang organization After
some time Bibekda however tried to restore the original prayer But he pulled back and got
separated from Satsang organization after he faced resistance from some disciples of Thakur

lsquoUpanayanrsquo and lsquoGayatri sadhanarsquo
Let me put forth an anecdote as I have heard from a disciple of Thakur One day Janardhan
Mukherjee an eminent freedom fighter and a founder member of Communist Party in India went to
the banks of river Pabna with Thakur for a bath
Janardhan da ―Thakur why do you hang this thread (poitajanau) around your neck and hip
Thakur ―Forget about it Tell Me does your organization have a flag
Janardhan da ―Yes It bears symbolism of what we are meant for
Thakur ―Janardhan tell Me what if I take the flag smear it with spit and smash it with my feet
Janardhan da ―Thakur You perhaps donlsquot understand its importance Had there been someone else in
Your place I would have pulled his tongue out
Thakur ―Similarly this poita is the flag of our Krishti It resembles that our forefather are still alive
within us and that we carry the inherited instincts of our forefather Through proper marriage those
instincts have been preserved for generations
Janardhan da ―Thakur nobody before explained to me this way Today I understood
Once upanayan sanskar gayatri sadhana etc were an important subject of discussion Thakur
had even translated Gyatri mantra in Bengali Today people by and large donlsquot even understand the
significance of it
Private employment of men
Sri Sri Thakur ―I feel every man should become source of pious progresslsquo Nowadays we become so
helplesslsquo without an employment This is some kind of slave mentalitylsquo The Maleslsquo are becoming
like that and they are also dragging the femaleslsquo out of their home and hearth What is the effect of
this If you are employed invariablylsquo with a little favourable nurturing your son will also get
inclined towards employment And from your son this inclination will pass on to your grandson as
well This propagates some kind of slavish nourishmentlsquo I do not like this The situation has become
so bad that wherever we get a provision of employment we surrender ourselves there Again you see
today divorce has got accepted As a result all those girls who used to get adjustedlsquo through
continuous tussleslsquo with their husbands and thus could have become good will no longer be like that
The moment they cannot adjust with their husband they will separate Many women have left their
home and hearthlsquo Under the influence of employment now the hotels have become their home and
hearthlsquo In the past those who knew the trickslsquo of existential proficiencylsquo those jewels among the
men used to be in the government And now we only know those things which create differencelsquo
between the two of you [Deeparakhhi Vol6 Pg-259]
Womenrsquos Conduct
Thakur opined that free mixing of girls with boys creates an impression in the minds of women
which negatively impacts the mentality of any child she begets in future Thakur even said that if a
woman had given a man place in the bottom of her heart and if by any cause she couldnlsquot marry that
man then she should never marry in life There used to be no female participantsmdashby rulemdashin the
stage plays organised at Satsang ashram during Thakurlsquos time Thakur believed that a girl should
ideally get married between 14-16 years of age the husband should be 15-20 years elder than the wife
Thakur believed that divorce is strictly against existence
When parents of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Janaki Nath Bose and Prabha Devi came to meet
Thakur they were astonished to see one couple appealing to Thakur to mitigate the quarrel between
them After the couple left Janaki Nath and Prabha devi asked Thakur ―Do husband and wife ever
quarrel Thakur replied ―That is the reason you have Subhash It is not hard to believe that if
women follow the code of conduct that Thakur had given then sons like Subhash could be born in
every family
Thakur had contributed a book named Narir Neetilsquo on the code of conduct of women Out of all
non-desired behaviour of women one thing that He has severely condemed is the act of employment
of women In serveral books we find references of His condemnation against this
Translation of Nana Prasange Vol1 Ninth Edition Dec-2001 Page 65 by Subrata Ghosh The words
in bold are however originally used by Thakur
Question What should the acts and behaviour of girls be like
Shri Shri Thakur Without pushing behind the curtains we need to ensure that girls do not have free
mixing with men1 If they are required to go outside for some reason they need to be accompanied by
an elderly relative first or else by some elderly wise and respectful man Other than these easy
mixing with anyone is not good at all2 Reading with a student or reading in front of a young
professor in isolation ndash such acts are indecent for girls Moreover the Aryans are the superior most
race so an Aryan woman will never surrender to a sub-Aryan race
Question Why the Aryan race is the superior most
Shri Shri Thakur The Aryan race is the superior most3 because they are the oldest and Vedas are
the record of realisations of the past sages (Aryan) Those who did not follow this did not perform
Suryopasana (heliolatry) - they left Persia and Bharat
Foot notes
1 ndash ―Great daily intimacy between sexestends to rub off the bloom and delicacy which can develop
in each Girls suffer in this respect far more than the boys - Youth - Stanley Hall
2 ndash ―From girlhood to maturity a woman must be under the guardianship of the father the husband or
the son In their absence the kinsmen will be her guardian never is she free - (185)
from Yajnavalkya Samhita
3 ndash ―Naturally isolated by its gigantic mountain barrier in the North the Indian Peninsula has ever
since the Aryan invasion formed a world apart over which a unique form of Aryan civilisation
rapidly spread and has ever since prevailed When the Greeks towards the end of the 4th century
BC invaded the North-West the Indians had already fully worked out a national culture of their own
unaffected by foreign influences No other branch of the Indo-European stock has experienced an
isolated evolution like this - A Macdonald
―and remember that this (Geeta) which forms part of the Mahabharata the greatest epic on earth
was written four or five thousand years ago - Maurice Maeterlinck
Propagating false beliefs
Since Borda took charge of the activities of Satsang many people are telling stories like
―One day Thakur was chanting holy name by holding the navel of Borda
―There was a lemon tree which never bore fruits Borda touched that tree and for some times chanted
the holy name From next year it started bearing fruits
―Thakur said that Borda is living satyanusaran
―Thakur was Kalki Avatar His pen was his sword The Ritwiks are his white horses He is
propagating his teaching through the Ritwikshellip
―Borda is the reincarnation of Hanuman Once Borda was travelling in a train with other attendants
He was sleeping in his bunk on a white blanket Few Sanyasis (ascetic) came near him and with
folded hands they said Jai Bajrang balilsquo without waking him up
―Thakur said that we need to visit Deoghar at least once every six months
―Borda said Thakur will not descend on Earth for next ten thousand yearslsquo
―Thakur had established the Acharya Parampara (A practice in which the son of a guru becomes a
guruacharya)
―One day Borda was alone in a room and he was talking to something invisible When he approached
Thakur Thakur asked him What did they saylsquo Borda replied They want to be reborn againlsquo Thus
Borda was talking to spirits
―Only if you are following Borda then you are actually following Thakur
―If Ashokda wants he can even create land on the sea
―Thakur had predicted that the fourth generation (Babai da) would be very handsome He could make
the impossible possible
―Babaida ndash son of Ashok da ndash is the reincarnation of Brahma
―Babai da Binki da Sepahi da hellip ndash they are Ram Krishna Bharat reincarnated
―One day Abin Babu (son of Babai da) told someone not to walk in west direction He did not listen
He was run over by a Truck
―With thakurlsquos descendents you could see pita-putra-leela (divine play of father and son) Earlier it
was between Thakur and Borda and now between Ashok da and Babai da
Did Borda ever propagate these kinds of beliefs If not then why are we dwelling in these kinds of
miracles Verily Thakur said
―Those who dwell in miracle mongering seldom become concentric
Further Thakur said
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor ndash how they were Did Arjuna create any group
Hanuman Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think
anything in that line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment
Those things are done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones
who for their own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted
sayings in the world to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to
dominate common man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling
his way behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a
symbol of absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of
Dharma one must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually
break free its cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
[Katha Prasange Vol-2 Pg 6-7]
Thus I donlsquot know how true these stories are however I feel that Thakur did not like praises I
know that since Thakur left humans have continually progressed towards deterioration I know that
in the last 25 years the world has experienced so much havoc internet has caused so much
deterioration of human psychology television has made us so much interested in drama and non-real
life that we donlsquot have time for our neighbours and human relation humans have become so much
busy in beautifying their house that they are not at all concerned for mother nature women considers
it a freedom to loose their dignity Had the workers of Thakur pursued His mission in a proper way or
at least some of His dear ones given Him the liberty to act the way He wanted then today the world
would have been different Verily Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was discussing the quality of school teachers He opined that instead of Debating club
there should be Questerslsquo club where occasionally there would be discussion on Ideal and Krishti In
debate there could be a possibility of negative or anti-ideal discussion getting acclamation However
in a quest there would be a common consensus and an effort to establish the truth Whatever
discussion arises against the truth those could be resolved by discussion and understanding During
the discussion Thakur titled one of His devotees as pandit To this the devotee humorously said
যোষেষশবয দো (োষয) - ওোনোষছষরষও মঔন দমষরোিনlsquo অঔযো লদেো মোে তঔন অভোষও তিত অঔযো লদেোে লদোল ওী

It Means
Rotneshwar da (laughs) ndash If single eyed (blind by one eye) son could be given the title of
Padmalochana (beautiful eyes) then what is the harm in calling me Pandit
Sri Sri Thakur speaks with a misterious smile ndash By the mercy of Supreme Father none of my sons are
majorly single eyed mostly they are with proper eyes But what is the use of being able to see Often
they like to keep their eyes closed Since it is very diffucult to walk with open eyeshellip
Shandilya University
Thakur had the idea to build an international university which would have the best professors
from different corners of the world The entire blueprint of the university was designed Donations
were collected and the work had once started The outline of the university is available in a book
named MY EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVING GODlsquo written by Bal Krishan Kapur I had purchased
a copy of it from Delhi Satsang Mandir That book included the following discussion of Thakur with
Prafulla Kumar Das in which Thakur stated that the memberlsquos of Thakurlsquos Family would not be
solely responsible for the maintenance of the wealth of satsang
Prafulla Kumar Das wrote in his book(Page 101) Pilgrimage to Memorylsquo where he had questioned
Thakurji that What should be the attitude of your family members in regard to the wealth of Satsanglsquo
Thakurju had said that they should think that all the wealth belongs to Thakur They will accept from
Satsang according to their legitimate needs But they have to maintain people like me I like that an
advisory body should be formed with those who do not accept a single farthing from me but are
deeply devoted and my family members should consult with them I do not wish that my family
members should be all in allhellip
Vibrometer
Thakur had the vision to build an instrument which could induce life into a dead man provided
all his vital organ remains intact Thus any person dying of drowning heart attack feverhellip could be
revived back to life

Evolution (তফফতথ ন) মতদ িো তোআলর ফণথকত নফতষট বোঙগষর িরষফ নো | বোঙগষর chaos (তফঙখোরো) এষ মোষফ | [Alochana Prasanga Vol VI Pg 295]
Means
If you want Evolution then breaking of rituals of ancestral clan (of which marriage is the most
important part) wonlsquot help Breaking will bring chaos
The marriage system was prevalent in India for millions of years Infact it was practiced since
the Satya Yuga The millions of years of practice is getting broken within the last 25 years of internet
age in the name of discrimination Our ancestors failed to propagate the importance of marriage
system to the current generation Have you ever wondered who created these varnas
[Bhagvad-Gita 4-13]
The four varnas are created by me
based on the types of human work
But even though I am the creator of this creation (creator)
Know me as a non-doer (akarta)
(Because whatever I do I do without getting involved)
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat svanusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah [Bhagwat Gita Ch3 Vs-35]
It is far better to discharge ones prescribed duties faultily
than anothers duties perfectly
Destruction while performing ones own duty is better than engaging in anothers duties
for to follow anothers path is dangerous (to existence)
In the epic Ramayana Lord Ramchandra awarded death sentence to Shambhuk on the advice of
His guru Vaishistha The offence of Shambhuk was that he was doing tapasya to seek blessing from
Lord Brahma to make the four varnas one Ram asked His guru that Shambhuk has not done anything
for which he needs to face a death sentence Guru Vaishistha replied ―According to law of creation in
this (Tretaya) yuga any shudra is forbidden to do tapasya If this law is broken then it could lead to
absolute chaos as it would lead to the destruction of the varnashram system upon which our entire
civilization stands
On 2nd
Feb 1835 Lord Macaulay a high rank British official who visited India presented his
views to the British Parliament
―I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a
beggar who is a thief Such wealth I have seen in this country such high moral values people of such
caliber that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of
this nation which is her spiritual and cultural heritagehellip
A famous Chinese scholar and philosopher named Xuanzang held a similar opinion during his
pilgrimage to India in around 600 AD He had observed that people in India always kept their doors
opened without any fear of robbery or theft Such was the integrity of the country and such was the
morale of the people
What have caused us to deteriorate
Thakur supported hypergamy (anulom) marriage ndash the male belongs to a superior clan than the
female But He cautioned us that hypogamy (pratilom or savarna-pratilom) ndash in which the female
belongs from a higher varna than the male ndash is very destructive in nature
HYPOGAMOUS UNION
Hypogamous union
does bring in dissolution
in the brain-factor of the male and female
moreover it distorts
and blunts their nervous system
and sometimes makes them
repugnant to ancestral lineage and culture
demoniacally unbalanced
stubbornly inclined to anti-becoming
and sentimental or peevish

Hypogamous-clild can never be good They will have treachery in them If a girl of higher varna is
married with a boy of lower varna there cannot be regard for husband ndash many conflicts would arise
In such cases it is often heard that out of frustration on husband the child is even abused by the
mother as son-of-dog Acquisitionlsquo and instinctlsquo has lot of difference Newton was Mathemetician
by instinct ndash Mathemetics could have been known better by someone else ndash but Mathemetics did not
take the place of instinctlsquo within them Instinct is like ndash heart beat litening through ear smelling
through nose movement of leg A son of a high-culture family could become a jungle-man in lack of
discipline but he has his instinct intact within him Wherever there is a distortion of instinct we must
understand there hypogamy has made its way or marriage-process went wrong Due to corruption
many times a hypogamous child is born in a high-culture family even this is not impossible that
through the union with a shudra the non-cultured child in the womb of a Brahmin lady gets the
recognition of a Brahmin child in society

Prasanga Vol IV Pg-80] Means
Pyari da What is the reason behind the lack of (quality) people in the country
Sri Sri Thakur The root cause is the corruption in varnashram and marriage The circulation of
Pratilom as I have heard happened during the time of King Ben I That is a matter of the
mythological age But in the historical age pratilom got encouraged by Ashokalsquos policy of sannyas
(asceticism) Those who were the most superior sons of the society they then abstaining from
marringe in thousands in multitudes kept accepting sannyas As a result many good girls were
bound to oblige wedlock with inferior males From this comes pratilom Whatsoever destruction is to
happen in pratilom kept happening The echo of it is still continuing Many think that the intense
objection of aryan-rishi regarding pratilom is a result of superstition or scepticism But since people
donlsquot know so they feel that way One thing is for sure that if sperm is less evolved than the ova and
the less evolved sperm has to fertilize the more evolved ova there it is like doing an outrage against
natural law Such a big anti-natural attempt becomes the cause of anti-creation Thus the Pratilom
childlsquos jihad(war) is against existence against greatness against aryan culture If he cannot destroy
whatever is good then he feel like his life is fruitless Regarding this matter of destruction he has
weird interest impossible affinity Thus pratilom children were quarantined by scriptures They have
such destructive mentality if they are given place in society then they could contagiously
contaminate every sane-minded people in the society Thus our society had a sharp focus so that
pratilom cannot occur Our society never tolerated adulteration Still it has stated methods of refining
adulteration in anulom and savarna marriages but could not (or rather failed to) tell any methods of
refining pratilom There was objection to acceptance of sannyas (asceticism) of any kind other then
that described in varnashram system (sannyas after 75 years of age) so that the porbability of
pratilom could reduce Because existence of thoughtless sanyas custommdashother than that of
varnashram systemmdashmakes it difficult to find ideal match for girls There is a saying in scriptures
―When Baishya-shudra works in co-ordination mankind prospers in every work area
But the rule of society on becoming lenient Vaisyas became agriculture-idealism-averse became
money-women-centric they stopped religious donations Even through this the varnashram system
got much damaged Firstly uncontrolled life possessing lots of money foremost their object of
worship became their beautiful wife With a chip on their shoulder they used to say ―Donlsquot encourage
those begger-like Brahmins And were there any other way for common men not following their
command This way the respect for brahmins started decreasing their livelihood was contribution
made out of pure and sacred faith that too reduced Then for the sake of their stomach and
complexes they became bound to do other work that which they were supposed to do for society they
could not do Due to this the entire society became deprived Even kshatriyas became weak by not
getting any support from the baishyas By seeing the extremity of baishyas now again shudras are
rising up against them Thus today the labour capitalist problem is so intense But there is no good in
baishya-dominant or shudra-dominent society Good only exists in brahminlsquos dominance By being
controlled by his discipline if every varna performs instinct-wise living marriage and founded by
mutual cooperation they move unitedly then you could see not just there wouldnlsquot be any lack of
people in the country rather there would be so much prospertity that there would be multitudes of
good peoplehellip Thus you people donlsquot sit back any more With extreme zeal keep engaged in
accumulating people
Unaccountable number of times Thakur had told us about proper marriage Most of the
devotees of Thakur follow or try to follow proper marriage principles However in recent few years
Pratilom has spread its roots throughout the country dragging us towards hell The evil of pratilom
had crept into the very foundation of our physical existence our DNA making us blind by taking
away our ability to differentiate between good and bad Further most people do not have a staffmdashthe
the gurumdashto guide them
ে েো দবথ োকয ফষট তওনত জতসতিযত েো অয দবথ োকয ওোযণ মতষটআ ষনওটো িকষয ওোজ ওষয [Satyanusaran]
Means
To be blind is unfortunate indeed but to be without a staff is even worse for the staff does much of the
eyeslsquo work
Had we not made Thakur a leper by exposing Him as a universal-guru then perhaps today
marriage system could have been a part of Indian constitution and it would have paved the way to
resurrect the country from this fallen state
Non-availability of His Literature
Keshto-da West Bengal Education Board have taken Satyanusaran Narir Niti and Alochona
Prasange for their library
Shri Shri Thakur It would be good if you could translate the books like Shashwati Sambiti etc The
advantage is I am always there with you and this way many books would have got translated
Keshto-da There is possibility of mistakes in my work
Shri Shri Thakur Whatever I have said if there be any mistake in the translation I would have come
to know
Keshto-da There have been a few editions of Satyanusaran in English and Hindi
Shri Shri Thakur Satyanusaran is a different type of book compared to these Here the facts are
analysed discerned and their causes are identified
Keshto-da It is difficult to change the meaning of your sayings in the form of prose It is however
easier to change meaning of the poems
Shri Shri Thakur That is the reason I keep saying that during my lifetime if you could have done this
work then such possibilities would have been minimised I could have told how I feel after reading
your translations You could have re-arranged them accordingly
Keshto-da The first volume of Shaswati has already been translated in English
Shri Shri Thakur Has Sandhya-mantra been translated in English
Keshto-da No but Message has a little shade of it The Bengali version is ready [Deeparakhhi
Vol6 First Edition Page-174 Dated 18031960 ]
Unfortunately in todays generation ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass It
almost happens in every generation People tend to forget the teachings of the prophet His teachings
get manipulated to suit the selfish intention of some people But with Thakur it happened most
drastically Today we can see the picture of Thakur in pens lockets purse etc We can see various
sizes of pictures of Thakur being sold during a utsav(festival) However we rarely see all the books of
Thakur in a single place Nor there is any craze for establishing a way to propagate the teachings of
Thakur We have defiled the knowledge of the Prophet Satsang is one of the biggest spiritual
organization in the world It has thousands of temples and centres all over the world However there is
little chance of finding any books of Thakur ndash only a few books are available at some centres ndash in all
these centres Nor there is any endeavour to establish the need of understanding Thakurlsquos literature
Education Reform
During the time in Pabna Thakur was able to reform the education system in His village An excerpt
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo is worth citing here
As THE organization of life and labor started functioning with increasing
smoothness Thakur turned his attention to the children
One evening he summoned those among his followers who had
been trained for teaching
We must reorganize our school he began for the formal system
of studies as they have evolved and are presented are not always
useful and are sometimes dangerous Everywhere knowledge is
fragmented each bit isolated from every other and all severed as
carefully as possible from the only purpose that knowledge can
serve In order that our children might be truly educated thought
and study must be reintegrated with action and the whole consciously
directed to serve the Uphold of Existence
Yes yes several voices assented We must surely add classes
in religion to the curriculum
Thakur shook his head You see how strong is the tendency to
isolate he pointed out I do not speak of new studies Religion
must be infused into all studies and serve to tie them securely each
to the other
Taluqdar frowned Certainly such an education is ardently desired
But the idea is very general and frankly I find it nebulous
There seems to be no point at which to begin no clear-cut
method that could embrace so much
The beginning as well as the end of education is the Uphold of
Existence Thakur explained patiently It is by this Uphold that we
are born and to nourish it we live This is a two-way flow for the
more we nourish the Uphold the more we are in turn nourished
the greater our service to all the greater our individual growth Be
ever conscious therefore when teaching our children that they
grasp the purpose of knowledge and quickly translate it into loving
acts
There was a long and thoughtful interlude as the teachers pondered
the new idea
I can see how the humanities subjects could be related in this
way Taluqdar puzzled but my field is mathematics I simply
cannot see how the multiplication table can be translated into an act
of love
Thakur smiled broadly Only this afternoon I watched a number
of your students busily and happily engaged in building bricks for
the new schoolhouse Is not the proportion of mud and straw which
they use a matter of mathematics Or the size and shape of the
brick Or the number which they make in an hour or a day And
when the schoolhouse is finished will it not benefit all of us as
well as many more to come Only be sure that the child is ever
conscious that knowledge leads to thought and thought to action
and that the purpose of all is to serve existence
Taluqdar was not yet satisfied Many of our children are receiving
the benefit of education for the first time They are overage
for their classes and there is much catching up to do I hesitate to
introduce new aspects which might be confusing
Only try Thakurs voice coaxed You will find that it is the
isolation of ideas from their purpose which breeds confusion Integration
will surely accelerate the learning process Be ever mindful
that the child understands the links that bind him to parent and
teacher Guide him to keep these links bright with thoughts and
acts of love so that the road he must travel is ever clear and straight
The teachers began through trial and error to reorganize their
instruction along the lines Thakur had indicated In the beginning
there were frustrating moments but as the idea of finding some
loving expression in thought and deed for all that was learned took
root the results were quick to blossom Love offerings of fruit and
flowers by the children improved their discipline and concern for
parents and teachers and enthusiasm to learn something new became
the rule rather than the exception
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-109]
Thus when the first batch of nine students appeared for the board examination after a preparation of
three years the following resulted
IN 1923 the first group of students were deemed ready to take the
required examinations for high school studies Taluqdars dark
sharp features grew gaunt with worry as he drilled the students by
day and by night without letup
Why do you drive yourself and the children this way Thakur
chided There is no need
No need cried the distracted teacher These children will be
competing with students who have had six years of formal education
Most of ours have only had three What if they fail All of
them
Then they will take the exams again next year
They cannot afford to fail Taluqdar moaned desperately This
is the first test of our experiment with your new system of education
Everything depends on it
Have no fear Taluqdar Thakur placed his arm across the unhappy
teachers shoulders and squeezed gently You have done
your work well The children have recited for me and I have quizzed
them I find their knowledge consciously integrated with their experience
and aimed firmly at the Uphold of Existence Such knowledge
will never desert them
But the educational system doesnt care anything about integration
and the Uphold I know it well The examinations are a bag of
tricks The questions will be deliberately and cleverly designed to
mislead Every trap and snare is set for them Students educated
within the system are prepared for these tricks ours are not
You have done your work well Thakur repeated Whatever the
fruits of your labor know that they are good
Even if they fail
Thakur laughed gently What are these examinations Can the
students failure reduce by one iota the treasure they possess
this gift that you have contributed so much to Only think Taluqdar
Early on the morning that the students were to go to Pabna for
the examinations Taluqdar stalked grimly through the village and
entered the jungle He was not seen again all day
Late that afternoon the children returned and clustered excitedly
about Thakur They were in good humor assuring him that they
were certain they had passed that the examinations had not been
nearly so hard as they expected and that some of the questions were
downright childish for people of their age
Thakur smiled at them The examinations were made easier because
your teacher spent every minute with you placing all his
love strength and knowledge at your disposal He is waiting for
you now beyond the clearing where we cut the trees for Mitras
cottage northward toward the clump of bamboo
The children were surprised and somewhat awed to find their
strict taciturn teacher in a strangely gentle mood Their surprise became
delight as this reserved man whose very bearing precluded
any idea of a public show of affection fondled their bobbing heads
and patted their bare shoulders as they gave an account of the
examinations
You have done very well he agreed And if for any reason any
of you did not pass the fault is mine for sending you too soon
If this should happen do not feel too concerned because next
year we will be ready for them
A month later there was a day of rejoicing for the members of
Satsang and Tapovan was strung with garlands for all nine students
had passed the examinations with flying colors
lsquo [Ocean in a Teacup Pg-134]
Thakur never supported co-education He wanted different institution for boys and different
institution for girls
His Frustrations and Warning
Shri Shri Thakur suddenly said to Himself ―I may require to come back again - who knows
Prafulla da ―As long as there are human beings in this world according to need it is required to
come back again But this time before leaving will you not mould us as much as you want
Shri Shri Thakur ―None of you do what I say [Alochona Prasange Vol21 Page-208 Dated 21st
Oct 1952]
Chandrashekhar Sen wrote a letter to Sri Sri Thakur
―Nothing will be achieved now at slow casual speed Where are the people who can work at
tremendous speed ndashWhere are such valourous individuals who can cast an impact on the world with
the message of Sri Sri Thakur and propagate His new revolutionary thoughts
Sri Sri Thakurji remarked ―A sad feeling is flowing in My heart and I feel deep pain Is there none
who can feel the same I canlsquot bear the sorrow and grief of humanity any more I feel as if every
moment I am dying myself Will no one try to cure this by following my commands Every other day
My decline is taking place Will you all offer not even one solution I know there is a solution but I
am unable to execute that and thatlsquos why I feel more pain Had I known that there is no solution then
I would not have felt so much pain However when I know that solution is there but it is not being
implemented because of the workers then how can I tolerate [Amio Vani]
Further Thakur said repeatedly
এওটি ভোনল লরোভ নো
I did not find a single manlsquo
Thakur was slandered again
Verily I say unto you no prophet is accepted in his own country [St Luke 424]
―The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions and the Giver of Good
is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions
So the saviour is slandered in His own country [Satyanusaran]
Was Jesus crucified again
There is not much record of what surpassed Thakur during the last 9 years of His life Thakur was a
person who liked the company of people and used to speak and communicate with them so
energeticallymdashafter all His birth was aimed at the betterment of the people What was the reason that
He was kept in isolation and was not allowed to communicate with people Furthermore why is there
no written record of those 9 years Why did His health detoriate so much Why did He say ―Jesus is
being crucified even today
Present Day Situation
I see many people greeting each other with folded hands saying Jaiguru-JaigurulsquoMost of them are
hypocrites wearing a sheeps costumes When it is a matter of helping someone they advice ―Pray to
Thakur He is there to help you I see people go to Deoghar to seek blessings from members of
Thakurlsquos family I donlsquot understand why such practices are condoned by people instead of
condemning them Why donlsquot people understand the simple fact that we do not need any extra
blessing for our material accomplishment After all pursuit of passion is a curse not a blessing
Ironically they are the most educated people who propagate such type of practices
We are responsible

Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
Then what do we need to do With a childlike attitude we must pray

Means
Pray to the Supreme Father
―Thy good is good I donlsquot know what will make me good Let Thy will be fulfilled in me And be
ready to accept that Joy will remain and sorrow will not touch you
Chapter 6
Will He re-incarnate
On Feb 2009 I got initiated I was very excited It was like getting admission to college I was
delighted with the thought that I could explore so many new things in the spiritual world At the same
time it was always my desire to dedicate myself to a guru My ritwik Sri Malay Kumar Dam told me
during the process of initiation that with this holy name given to me I could conquer the entire
universe
I started following the morning and evening prayer with sincerity I stopped taking non
vegetarian food I used to stay with four of my office colleagues in an apartment with 3 bedrooms a
big hall and a big kitchen Though only vegetarian food was used to be prepared by the maid we had
yet I preferred cooking my own food as I even left eating garlic and onion as per Thakurlsquos ideology I
deleted all songs from my Laptop and my mobile phone and downloaded devotional songs on Thakur
from the internet At office I started reading about Thakur from the internet I used to read for hours
and I used to get elated with the feeling of being guided by Thakur Fortunately I found the book
Ocean in a Teacuplsquo It was the only biography on Thakur available on the internet Two months after
taking initiation I came in contact with NOIDA satsang center I had the prior impression that there
the ritwiks would address the mass and would also resolve their queries on spiritualism however it
was not so
I started visiting NOIDA satsang centre to attend the weekly satsang which occurred every
Friday from 730 PM to 900 PM The satsang centre was 15 km from the place where I stayed and
the communication from my place to the centre was not so good Still I managed to attend it regularly
At the centre ndash after prayer devotional songs and kirtan ndash someone either a ritwik or a worker would
stand up and deliver speech for 10 minutes They usually through some anecdotes described
―how great Thakur was He was omniscient omnipotenthellip how great Borda washellip present
acharya is equally powerful as Thakur
They never described the Life of Thakur at any level of detail I thought that I should approach then
and express my desire to tell ndash through speech ndash the story of Thakur part by part as I was reading it
from the book Ocean in a Teacuplsquo But discouraged by the egoistic attitude of the workers and
ritwiks I felt reluctant to do so Moreover in order to be able to do so I needed to summarize the
story in my own words and memorize the important facts which never happened However I enjoyed
kirtan and understood the importance of the basic principles emphasised by Thakur ndash Jajan Jaajan
and Istavriti
It was around six months after initiation I decided to leave job ndash without informing anybody to
avoid serving the notice period The work culture was never that good in that company Thus I
returned home
On my way to home I visited Satsang ashram with one of my friend named Varun The place
did not impress me I saw people around were so crafty They were always looking for an opportunity
to earn money through some unnecessary service ndash they would act like a tour guide At evening after
prayer I went to see Ashok da when he was seated amidst crowd Just when I was about to keep my
prayer to him a ritwik intercepted
Ritwik ―What is it that you have to ask to Acharyadev
Me ―I want to pray for the well being of my friendlsquos father
Ritwik ―Where is your friendlsquos father
Me ―He is not here now
The Ritwik repeated rudely ―Are you his messenger Are you his messenger Are you his
messenger
I replied with submissive voice ―Ahh yeshellip kind ofhellip
Ritwik ―No it doesnlsquot happen that way The subject should be present here
I replied with dejection ―Ok Then I have something else to ask him about me
Ritwik ―Not now you may ask to Babai da tomorrow
I thought in my mind that Thakur said
ষযয ভঙগর-ওোভনোআ তনজ ভঙগষরয পরতত [Satyanusaran]
Pray for otherlsquos good Good will be done unto you
After staying for a month at home my parents convinced me that I should join office Even I
got a call from my office boss and I returned After returning some of my roommates asked me to
leave the apartment within a week They felt that I was being dishonest to them to have decided to
leave the job without informing them I obliged and I went to stay in a paying guest ndash similar to a
hostel ndash accommodation There I did not have the facility to cook food and I had to eat food in hotels
My throat problem returned to trouble me again My room used to be filled with cigarette smoke most
of the time In the adjoining room someone would be smoking and watching TV on high volume
During the same time my mobile got snatched by some street rowdy on motorcycle Again I started
experiencing hell I had learned that during trouble we should let Thakur take control of our life and
we should keep faith on him So I raised my hands to the heaven and cried ―Thakur save me I can
tolerate no morehellip Within days Sujay Kumar Das a disciple of Thakur offered me to stay at the
satsang centre He was a very active and honest worker of NOIDA satsang centre With mutual
consent of three presidents of the centre I was allowed to stay at the centre Initially my parents
resisted for it is always very tough to keep up with the discipline of a satsang centre ndash getting up
early in the morning wiping floor cooking maintaining register of donations However I was very
determined I thought that it might perhaps be the wish of Thakur for my good Thus I started staying
in NOIDA satsang centre from November 2009
My throat pain subsided Smell of incense sound of conch shell morning and evening prayer
vegetarian foodhellip everything made the atmosphere very favourable to me However things were very
difficult during the early days at the centre It was the winters and I had to sleep on the floor I had to
wake up at 530 AM get a bath sweep and wipe the floor and get ready for morning prayer
Immediately after prayer I had to cook curry for four people ndash as there were four of us including a
pandit staying at the centre I left for office at 8 AM Though I cooked yet I hardly got time to eat
because the fellow disciples would delay to cook the rice As a discipline I was not allowed to cook
the rice Two of the disciples generally left for office after 830 and the pandit stayed at the centre At
evening after returning I had to change to clean cloths and then clean some utensils used for puja It
used to take nearly half an hour after which I again changed back to casual cloths After completing
this activity I had to go for purchasing vegetables After that I had to cook curry for dinner The other
disciples were testing me thinking that being unable to stand the strict treatment I might leave But I
was determined and I tried to tolerate it without complaining Sometimes out of disappointment I
used to express my feelings to Thakur
After 15 days one day early morning I requested them that I will not be able to clean the floor
I felt that my body would not allow me to take any more burden They meekly insisted and I obliged
Then just after the morning prayer I came and laid on the bed and covered myself with blankets
Immediately my eyes turned red and my body temperature rose to around 104 degree F Looking at
my condition the two fellow disciples got scared They advised me to take rest and they left for office
At 900 the regular maid came for cleaning activities related to the centre She politely adviced me
―Dada you will not be able to stay at the centre Here there is nobody to take care of you At 930
the pandit too went to bank for his personal work leaving me alone at the centre Mondolda a middle
aged disciple ndash then his age was around 60 years ndash and one of the four president of NOIDA satsang
centre got the news He immediately sends another disciple named Sanatanda for help Sanatanda
took me to the doctor and got me medicines Two days later when I recovered situation started
changing The fellow disciples slowly became affectionate towards me People who came to the
centre started respecting me I took great delight to speak to anybody about Thakur I used to speak
about Borda and Ashok da the way I had heard from other senior workers of Satsang
There were certain things which always bothered me Why did Thakur say I did not find a
single manlsquo Why do people portray Thakur as a miracle man where as He was so simple Why we
do not find all the books of Thakur at any satsang mandir or satsang centre Slowly these questions
subsided and I got coloured with the thought process of other disciples But one thing was obvious I
always tried to love Thakur selflessly
Five months since I started staying at the centre one day in the month of Mar-Apr 2010 I came
to meet a disciple named Dr TK Jena He was a follower of another community related to Thakur He
was a director of IGNOU and an MD at AIIMS He was also the founder member of the website
named wwwsrisrithakuranukulchandracom He had good knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology He also
had a good collection of Thakurlsquos books ndash almost all books I asked him ―Why is it that we find the
books of Swami Vivekananda everywhere where as we donlsquot find Thakurlsquos books though Satsang
has few crore followers todayhellip
He asked ―You tell me this You had been staying at the satsang centre you are closely related to
satsang you would know it better than mehellip Why do we consider Borda Thakur-equivalent
I was unable to answer I asked him ―Thakur said Borda is what I amlsquo
He asked me ―Where is the reference of this in any of Thakurlsquos literature
I said ―Thakur has created a will in which He mentioned Even a single pin of Satsang belongs to
boro khoka (eldest son)lsquo
He asked ―Where is that will How can Thakur ever create a will Thakur can never differentiate or
discard anyone from the kingdom of Dharma Every individual is a part of His kingdom
I got two books from him Sri Sri Thakur anukulchandra ndash The man who knew my mind and
loved me the mostlsquo Vol I and II He assured me that after reading the books the way I perceive
Thakur would change And it happened so
Through that book I learned how Thakur was once physically assaulted by a boy yet Thakur
was filled with compassion for that boy and offered him some food I learned how Thakur used to
clean piles of human faeces very early morning for three years without letting anyone know about
ithellip I wondered ―Why do the ritwiks and workers of Satsang always speak so great about Thakur
Why do they never portray other aspects of Thakur ndash Thakur as a wonderful human being Why do
people donlsquot even know the life story of Thakur I wondered why do they donlsquot realize these basic
things as I do yet there were workers in NOIDA satsang centre who had experiences like hearing
Thakurlsquos voice seeing specks of lights etc

Means
You did sadhana(meditation) you did yoga
So many divine sounds and lights you have seen
Yet the nature of the selfish Ilsquo
Remained grossly instinct based
One day I found a discussion on the internet saying that Thakur has returned as He had
prophesised Even earlier also I found such writings However this time I felt challenged I wrote to a
person named Yashendra through a website named Orkut
―If you feel that Thakur has returned can you show me some proofs
He replied ―I did it several times You may find some of my postings on the net
I preferred to keep silent as I thought that he must be a busy person
Some days later through the internet I got a communication from a person named Subrata
Ghosh ―If you want to know about Thakurlsquos return I will tell you Please provide me your number
A day later I received a call from UK Subrata da was a mechanical engineer working in a company
in UK After a brief introduction I asked him about the proofs Very patiently he replied that he
would mail me the proofs one by one I had the belief that these people have deviated from the track
and I felt that I should try to bring them to the right path I was well prepared to face the absurd ndash as I
thought it to be ndash proofs When I began reading those proofs I threw a volley of questions on him He
answered each of my questions in a very natural way I ensured that by being polite to him I lay down
all my doubts before him His argument was so logical and natural and was often backed by reference
to Thakurlsquos sayings
He argued ―Would you feel good or bad when you hear that your mother who went missing 20
years back is found by somebody Would you not at all feel curious to know about her Or would
you say I am happy with the picture of my motherlsquo This goes to show whether you really love your
mother or not
I said ―My Thakur would be someone who on seeing me would embrace me in His arms
Thakur always loved everyone and was very polite with everyone
He said ―Have not seen the video of Hauserman on the internet how He rebuked him Thakur
always wanted to be harsh with everyone but was not able to do so ndash else everyone would have left
Him
Those proofs ushered a feeling of new hope within me Since then it changed my world Today
I am going to share some of the proofs with you coupled with some findings that I gathered from
other people and places

Brojenda ndash We know that our holy name is the highest Will the progress stop here Would not some
prophet descend and give some higher holy name
When needed there would be more However this name has vibration in it Creation happens through
vibration Therefore dedicatedly if one reaches to this level then there remains nothing more to
learn To contemplate more on these brings the complex of differentiating between prophets Same
moon we seen in different forms on different occasions That does not mean that the full moon and the
crescent moon are different entities
Brojenda ndash To explain one avatar(prophet) another comes To explain you would some prophet
descend in future
Sri Sri Thakur ndash Yes Coming is reality However the food(teachings) for many-many days has been
given
Alochana Prasanga Vol 9 page 128
One day in the association of his devotees Shri Shri Thakur being questioned by some devotee said
―In the Bible there lie such words- for rescue of men He [son of man] will re-appear ndash He will give
new name No one will be time-wreck if impressed with that Holy Name Then vultures will also come
There will be Armageddon [fierce fighting between Nations] He Himself will move concealing
Himself as if like a thief
Prafulla Kr Das ndash He will come as if a thief What is meant thereby
Shri Shri Thakur ndash He will stay in disguise Will not manifest Himself Many will misunderstand Him
Vultures mean those who are appeared with rotten knowledge They shall not realize Him with that
rotten knowledge Vultures also mean those followers who will live on exploiting Guru [Alochana

Edmund Spencerrsquos Notes
Following are excerpts from the dairy of Edmund Spencer an eminent American disciple of Sri
Sri Thakurji since Pabna days The main copy is with Shubhankar Banerjee the son of Late Justice
Prafulla Kumar Banerji Patna High court I received these excerpts from Subrata Ghosh
Pabun 22-Jun-1991
When I first heard the name of Bapun it got turned around in my head and became Pabun I
discovered my mistake soon enough and never mentioned the name Pabun to anyone
When I first met Bapun in 1972 he was a baby in arm just one year old When they brought him to
me he twice uttered a word that sounded like Pabun or Pabna The people around thought he was
uttering Pabna They were amazed and took it as a sign of his divinity Pabna was where I had first
met Thakur his divine grandfather and no one had spoken to him of Pabna
10 years later as I was leaving his room in Rangan Villa I thought I will use that ―mistake name
Pabun just for the fun of it But I did not
I said ―good bye Bapun as usual
―No he called ―Pabun How strange that he should know of that name And remember it such a
little thing
I told a girl named Soma in Bombay about the name Pabun and how Bapun knew of it She tried to
use the name with him
―No he told her ―that name is only for Spencer da
Now and then he uses the name with me Recently I was feeling some distance between us He called
to me across two rooms grabbed my arm shook it vigorously and whispered in my ears ―am I not
Pabun
Christ-Thakur-Bapun 28-June-1991
One day in 1983 Bapun pointed to pictures of Christ and Thakur and said they were the same
I murmured non-committantly After all it was only a doctrine He took up a toy auto and said he
would put me in it and then take me on a journey He sailed the auto through the air and ended-up at
Thakurlsquos feet I was not impressed
On Jan 27 1991 Bapun conducted his first sitting in Bombay It was the anniversary date of
Thakurlsquos death according to the English calendar Great spiritual vibrations were let loose that night
During Bapunlsquos Nam-Kirtan I fell into a kind of trance My mind separated from my body but was
conscious of it My lips parted and the breathing became regular The name of God that Christ used
on the cross was going on automatically internally and was synchronized with both my breathing and
the Name that Bapun was chanting I was overcome and transported And I felt connected with
Thakur as I had not felt for many years Had Bapun taken me on a journey in his auto after all
Uniting Christ Thakur and himself
Edmund Spencerrsquos Letter ndash This postcard was sent to Justice Prafulla K Banerji of Patna High
Court
Date 28191
From Bombay
Dear Prafulla da-
Tremendous spiritual forces were unleashed here last night by Bapun Druvu Howa + about 100
others were present You stand vindicated I am feeling he can lift the world Be of good
Cheer
Love to Ila amp all

Rick Hart 28June1991
A Zen-Buddhist named Rick Hart picked me one day when I was hitch-hiking in the US in the 1970lsquos
We had some talk during which I used the phrase ―pregnant void He like the expression and invited
me to pass the night in his mobile home
After supper Rick asked me what was in my pant pocket I told him there was a ―flower photo of
Christ ―No I donlsquot mean that one he said ―Behind that one
I said there were photos of Thakur my spiritual guide and his grandson
―Thakur and his grandson they are Christ said Rick ―Sometimes I become clairvoyant and this is
one of those times
No Cross 28-June-1991
Bapunlsquos young friends in Bombay asked him to give them a party ―Yes I will give a party I will put
up a barrier between purity and impurity
I was in Bombay at the time recovering from a cataract operation I was resting on a couch one day
and did not see him enter the room then I saw him standing in a doorway I raised my hand in
greeting He did the same then came amp bent over me
―No cross he whispered massaging my heart I was stunned I must have liked it ― There
wonlsquot be any cross he repeated ― I am trying for that Bless me
―I am praying
It sounds heavy in the telling But it wasnlsquot so in the happening It was lightly said and done Matter
of factly
Books
One day when Chotoma was disheartened with the situation of Satsang and she approached
Thakur Thakur consoled her saying
What is the worry Boro khoka(Borda) is left to look after my wealth and property I am left for Kajol
(youngest son of Thakur)
The book Bohoto Smritir Kule was written by Late Chotoma the second wife of Thakur In page 77
she had mentioned
Two years before his demise Thakur said amidst 50-60 men and women pointing to Kajol ―I have
not been able to finish all my works this time Soon I have to return by taking birth as the son of
Kajolhellip
The book Prophet and Prophesieslsquo was written by Late Justice Prafulla Kumar Banerjee Patna
High court Baby ma a woman who received daughter-like nurturing from Thakur was married to
Prafulla da by Thakur himself Further Baby ma had dreams of Thakurlsquos return ndash the night Ananta
Shree Baba was born Their son Subhankar Banerjee is alive today and I have met him to affirm the
facts
The book Param Premomoylsquo is written by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya a distinguished
worker of Satsang In this book he had mentioned about Thakurlsquos return He has stated assertively
that Thakur has already returned and that we may look for Him Kumar da is still alive today
The book Being and Becominglsquo was written by Ray A Hauserman This book elaborates the
interaction of Hauserman da with Ananta Shree Baba It also elaborates what happened between Him
Borda and Thakur when he became more intimate with Thakur than Borda during the last few years
of Thakurlsquos life
In Mar-Apr 2010 I had met a ritwik named Pranab Rai of Varanasi Thakurbari ndash a residence of
Thakur He had spent some time with Hausarman da and Spencer da Thakur one day called him
separately and said
ষদয লদতঔ
Means
Look After them
Perhaps Thakur had foreseen it Hauserman had a very tough time after Thakurlsquos demise He
had to work late night as a taxi driver at the streets of Kolkata to fill his stomach Further Pranab da
told me
―People often ask me Thakur used to hug and embrace everyone Why doesnlsquot Acharyadev or Babai
da do the samelsquo I reply to them If they are same as Thakur then what would be the charmlsquo
When I told him that Thakur might have returned he replied
―What if He has returned I have already attained Him there is no need to attain Him in a new way
This kind of conversation would not affect me
I feel Pranab da is right It is difficult to make people believe about His return unless He
Himself chooses to reveal it
The return of His mother
Thakur had himself chosen a girl for Kajol da to marry When the wife of Kajol da Lakshmimoni ma
came to Deoghar after marriage Thakur broke into tears looking at her ndash knowing that His time to
leave has come nearer
তআ অফোয এতর ভো | লতোভোষও এওটো তজতন তদরোভ ভো মে ওষয লযষঔো | লতোভোয নদতও ভোনতও দোিোয যকষো ওষয ির | অভোষও অফোয অোয যোসতো টো নতযী ওষয তদ |
Means
You have returned once again mother I am giving you something keep it safe Keep yourself
physically and mentally hygienic Make way for my return in a new way
Also it is interesting to note that Lakshmimoni ma was the only daughter in law of Thakurlsquos family
whom Thakur had Himself initiated

Means
Purushottam alone is the ideal of men He alone is the subject of meditation When he departs follow
Him and meditate on Him ndash after taking initiation from a Ritwik following his ideology ndash till He
descends again on Earth When the successive comes accept Him for He is the new advent of the
earlier
Kalki Avatar
The following are the translations of Deeparakkhi
Have you not heard about Kalki He will come and destroy everything Only the pure breed will
remain and a new civilization will be established [Deeparakkhi Sep 1962]
All those who have come here I am asking to them to stop Pratilom(Hypogamous marriage) If this
way with this rate Pratilom is being supported then someone like the Kalki avatar will appear and
finish off everythinghellip In one go he will cure the nation and the breed [Deeparakkhi Vol VI Page
144]
Bishnu da Still now many illicit and anti-providential marriages are taking place Nobody springs
forward like a tiger to protest
Thakur The tiger is still inside you and so you cannot ignore your fore-fathers
Bishnu da But everybody remain silent on this
Then Thakur replied very mysteriously Then there are only two ways left Either the tiger will break
free out of the cage or everything will extinct and if the tiger comes out of the cage then whether it
turns out to be a Kalki avatar who can say
Last wish unfulfilled
Thakur was given very less importance ndash in decision making ndash during his end days People felt that it
was Borda in whom the power of Thakur had been vested People around Thakur got very busy in
fulfilling the instruction of Borda to get Satsang moving forward Thakur was a bed patient in those
days He could barely move his body It was winters so a heater was kept aside his bed for 24 hours
One day Thakur instructed somebody
―Ask Hauserman to meet me today
Hauserman da returned around midnight after accomplishing some Satsang work He was then
conveyed the message He washed his feet and refreshed himself Then thinking it was too late he
decided to meet Thakur the next day
That night at around 3 AM Thakur became very ill Thakurlsquos condition was sinking Kajol da tried to
revive him by pushing an injection in his heart But everything was in vain Thakur passed away that
night Hauserman was a person whom Thakur trusted a lot Hauserman too loved Thakur very much
However everything was gone no matter how much he cried Further when the body of Thakur was
put to flames a stream of blood ushered through his navel and his body shivered momentarily This is
also a mystery
When I heard this from Subrata da at the midnight hours hanging up the phone I cried
―O Thakur my Thakur You did so much for this world and yet your last wish remained unfulfilled
What did you wanted to tell Hauserman Perhaps it would have been something of great importance
Ananta Shree Baba was born with a minute hole in his heart At the age of 7-8 He was taken to
America accompanied by Bal Krishan Kapur da for a surgery
With respect to the science of reincarnation many scientists opine that sometimes birth defects could
be attributed to the wounds received during the previous birth
lsquoNever look backrsquo attitude
Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans left his birth place Kamarpukur and went to stay at Dakshineshwar
He never returned to Kamarpukur Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left Novodeep and went to
Neelachal and never returned Leaving Bethlahem Jesus went to Jerusalem and never returned
Leaving Mecca prophet Muhammed finally went to Medina Sri Krishna finally left Mathura and
went to Dwarka He then never returned to Mathura In the name of pilgrimage Thakur went to
Deoghar and never returned to Pabna throughout his life Similarly Ananta Shree Baba left Deoghar
at the tender age of 17 discarding the immense wealth and heritage of His father He never returned
even at the demise of her mother in 2011 though he performed all rituals at his end
Perhaps I feel that Purushottam never returns to a place which he discards In other words
Purushottam doesnlsquot like to return to that place which disrespects Him Towards the end of His life
Thakur had expressed to some of His very close deciples that He wants to leave Deoghar Thakur was
really in great plight ndash His entire mission was failing in front of His own eyes Whenever
Purushottam descended on Earth He often had to face rebuku from His own people because people
donlsquot want to accept His teachings
লপরতযত-রল সবষদষ কৎোভতিত ন | [Satyanusaran]
Means
hellip the saviour is slandered in His own country
Further They do not like to be a part of any community
Question What is the point of getting adhered to the Full Advent It can be seen that one Advent
came He fore-told about His next Advent And He came back as well but the followers of the past
Advent could not recognize the present Advent - this was how Boudhha Christian Muslim Vaishnav
so many sectors got created Again the Full Advent may be coming ndash yet they are ever so busy with
their sectarian conflicts
Shri Shri Thakur Those who were directly favoured by that ―Tathagata they never tried to create
groups through malicious slandering of others or misinterpretations How they could have done that
None of them really cared for deceptive self-establishment And the ones whose heart-rendering
eager adherence was engaged entirely in His interest after losing Him they can only know to the
core how the remaining world without Him feels like Those wicked creek and corner can never find
place in their mind
Look how Narada was Udhhav Akroor - how they were Did Arjuna create any group Hanuman
Ananda Mary Magdalene Saint John Great Ali Omar ndash did any one of them think anything in that
line Or did they try twisting any of His sayings to fuel their self-establishment Those things are
done only by those tongue-splitters (The Naaga Asuras Snakes) They are the ones who for their
own selfish recognition derive distorted meanings and spread the misinterpreted sayings in the world
to fuel their wicked needs Acting as some great master they use His emblem to dominate common
man and think this way they can thwart the group
In the meantime the Satan (Evil) scattered here and there getting awakened start crawling his way
behind these people Finally it may be seen that the leader of that group himself is a symbol of
absolute Satan However anywhere within any group if there be true insurgence of Dharma one
must surely find Him fulfilling everyone in equal capacity The group will eventually break free its
cordon and expand like the horizon growing bigger and bigger This is the real truth
So when He comes again those who are the first to accept Him are found to be the ones apparently
averse with the group disturbed insignificant distressed fervently searching here and there out of
hunger for life and growth And they are the ones who infuse Him in the surroundings through their
service sympathy and companionship [Katha Prasange- Vol2 P6-7]
রিয়ং রমং কমমর করাাম (Utmost loving and sensitive yet uncompromising)
This is one of the attribute of Purushottam as described by Thakur in the prayer Purushottam-
Vandana Though once it was a regular activity in every household yet today this prayer is no more
prevalent amongst the devotees of Satsang This generation is ignorant of the fact that Thakur had
written a prayer which he Himself followed so ardently He wanted every people to utter the prayer
daily and it was once prevelant amongst His disciples
Not may people today are aware of the fierce nature of Thakur which He displayed in few
occasions Let me put forth a small anecdote in this regard Thakur had once convinced a kid to keep
away from the bushes and the piles of unused bricks There were possibilities of someone getting hurt
or the bushes may shelter snakes who knows The kid promised Thakur that he would oblige
However the kid tempted other to follow him to the bushes Thakur persistently warned him on few
ocassions But the kid would not listen and he made every time he made fake promises One day
Thakur called Him and started thrashing him with a bamboo cane People watched astounded as they
knew that Thakur never got angry Unable to restrain Thakur people informed Boroma who arrived
and calmed thakur The same kid named Amol Jawardar son of Satish Jawardar is still alive today
and lives in Deoghar He once narrated this incident to Mihir da with tears rolling down his eyes out
of devotion
Thakur narrated a story of a guru who was very strict with his disciple indicating that He wanted to
be like that
Shri Shri Thakur Had I been more strict it would have benefited all of you Kathia babas Guru used
to really chastise him hard He tied a thick leaf-string in his waist so that he could not sleep in the
night and forced him to keep repeating Name (Holy Beej mantra) For every minor mistake he used to rebuke or beat him One day he even pushed him off the edge of the mountain Not being able to bear
such hardship one day Kathia baba approached his Guru with a knife in his hand and said You
better finish me off my biggest pain is that I cause you so much distress The Guru then said to him
Two tigers cannot share the same jungle He advised him to do his saadhna (spiritual practices) in
some distant and desolate place
He started following the same Seeing this many people started offering him their oblations After
a long time the Guru came to him and scolded himOh you too have become a Guru now He
humbly replied They offer me voluntarily so I cannot refuse them However whatever they offer me
I give it away Hearing this the Guru became very happy You can do this only if you truly love Oh
my heart is too soft I cannot be strict on anyone If I rebuke someone then thinking about his mental
suffering I end up suffering more [Ref Alochona Prasange- Vol18 P233]
Looking at the inattentiveness and negligence on part of each and every one of us Shri Shri Thakur
during His old age said one day
Nobody would do anything Only due to the mercy of the Supreme father we can put our hands to
mouth How will it go on like this Nobody is becoming a proper man I simply cannot think of any
way out Sometimes I feel like beating a few of you at every step with or without any reason if that
can bring others on track If I do this with Prafulla (Das) then the intelligent ones will get the
message Then they will think that if he (Prafullada) can get such a harsh treatment then what would
happen with the others But I am not able to do this because of my health I give up after shouting a
little bit as I feel out of breath Moreover there are very few who can stand such severe dealings
[Ref Alochona Prasange Vol19 P-308 Dated 31101950]
Similarly Ananta Shree Baba is fierce At the same time He is nurturing One moment He
punishes and the other moment He loves I will speak about Him in the next chapter
My experience
Subrata da told that the mission of Ananta Shree Baba is very secret now So we used to refer to
Ananta Shree Baba with a codename ASB Often at midnights Subrata da rang me and told me about
ASB We used to talk over phone for few hours say from 1200 AM to 200 AM During those days I
had tremendous workload at office I invariably used to spend 13 hours a day 6 days a week at
office I used to get very exhausted after returning from office Still I always attended his phone call
with utmost curiosity I felt as if it could be a message from Thakur He got me connected with other
people who knew about ASB ndash Subhankar Banerjee Rishab da Ratna di Arup da Gopal Biswas
Habul Mallick Arnab da Poltu dahellip These were a different kind of people different from an average
disciple of Thakur They were never crazy for name fame or money They were never crazy for
delivering speech at public location or creating a public image ndash unlike what we see within a
distinguished people today They happily and humbly told me about their experiences with ASB
The last six months with my previous employer NEC HCL was very difficult I remember for
one continuous week I had only slept for an average of 3-4 hours a day I was hanging on with all my
strength I tried telling about ASB to few disciples but they were too dull to understand it I wondered
how ignorant people are Ignorance is often used as a tool to control the mass
On September 2010 I got a new job Same month I got re-initiated by Subhankar Banerjee I
left NOIDA satsang centre and went to Gurgaon My life again took a turn It was a very comfortable
job I did not had to work late hours any more My curiosity on the mystery of the Mayan calendar
and the year 2012 increased I started watching videos of David Wilcock I started watching the
various interviews of eminent peoples on Project Camelot website I started following the news on
David Ickelsquos website They mostly talked on subjects like Golden age dimension shift and love They
said that love is the energy that will bring the manifestation of golden age However what they do not
know that the source of love is amidst us On three occasions I flew to Kolkata to see ASB On the
first occasion I reached little late and he had already left the hotel room On the second occasion I got
very close to him just outside his room On the third occasion I have a glimpse of Him for less than 5
sec However seeing Him is irrelevant unless we have a desire to seek Him
বকফোনআ লদতঔ ফতোযআ লদতঔ লওোষনো তফবততআ লোও
তও ষরো তোষত মতদ তভটর তন তয ফতততয যতঙগর লঝোও [Sri Sri Thakur]
Means
Either you see god or you see some avatar(son of god) or be it some evolved being So what if your
colourful complexes does not get adjusted (by seeing them)
I was slowly loosing interest on the subject of Thakur ASB and 2012lsquo until I met Mihir
Chakroborty in October 2011 He infused a new thrill within me Though I had heard and read about
Thakur a lot yet I came to know about Thakur like I never knew before We started talking over
phone regularly and he would tell me about Thakur and his ideology Occasionally he also spoke
about other prophets ndash Ram Krishna Buddha Jesus Muhammed Ramkrishna Chaitanya and ASB
I wondered that if I call up some ritwik everyday and ask him to talk about Thakur he would
probably get irritated But Mihir da spoke to me with zeal and interest and if some day I didnlsquot call
up he got worried This was the kind of nurturing that Thakur had advised ritwiks to provide to their
oblates Further he was the only person ndash whom I met ndash having such profound knowledge on
Thakurlsquos ideology
Slowly I came to know about the kind of intimacy he shared with ASB though he never
expressed it to me directly I came to know about the verse that ASB has given to him He had few
dairies filled with such mottos He used to occasionally read some of those verses to me These verses
have not been published till today as he awaits the instruction of ASB to do so I felt so elated as if
ASB is guiding me directly
It was 3rd
April 2011 on Zee TV I heard a Christian pastor speaking
―Bad time comes in everyonelsquos life However we should never resist it and accept it positively For
the more we resist the more it stretches and become longer It is only when the bad time ends that we
get to know the reason behind it And we come to know that this bad time was actually for such a
noble objective
Today I realize as to why I had to undergo such hardship and struggle in my life I failed to
become a cricketer I developed physical ailment I could not make any bank balance I lead an
ordinary lifehellipToday I understand the significance of my life I feel so peaceful and elated
Chapter 7
Ananta Shree Baba ndash An Introduction
A Man who has left His family at the tender age of 17 to follow the path of righteousness a
Man who has been wandering from place to place for the past 24 years without complaining of any
discomfort a Man whose sole objective of life is to follow Thakurlsquos ideology uncompromised a
Man who hardly makes any public appearance or cares for any worldly comfort Ananya Chandra
Chakroborty was born on 15th Jan 1971 He is also known as Ananta Shree Baba Bapun Baba or
simply Baba His mother was Lakshmimoni ma and His father is Kajol da ndash the youngest son of
Thakur Many people including Baby ma ndash the wife of Justice Prafulla Banerjee ndash received dreams
the night He was born
During childhood there had been two murder attempts on Him When He was 8-10 months old
a milkman was paid to get Him killed A family member of the milkman ndash who was a physically
disabled man by birth ndash heard the conversation when the milkmaid was paid The milkman didnlsquot pay
attention and he underestimated this disabled man The next day early morning before sun-rise the
disabled man dragged his body to the gates of Kajol dalsquos residence In doing so his body was bleeding
due to abrasions He urged to the gatekeep that he be allowed to meet Lakshmimoni ma He then told
everything to them
When He was around one and half year old there was a second attempt to kill Him During that
time Kajol da was not in his residence He was at Kolkata due to some work Around 15-20 dacoits
came at midnight hours at the gate of Kajol dalsquos residence They had beaten the guard when he
refused to open the gates In the meantime Lakshmimoni ma phone-called Bibekda ndash the middle son
of Thakur ndash and said
―If you donlsquot come right now then we might not stay alive
Bibekda arrived immediately along with 15-20 of his men Seeing Bibekda and his men the dacoits
ran away However Bibekdalsquos men intercepted few of the Dacoitlsquos
In around 1987 there was an attempt to slander ASB Rumours spread that He had affairs with
a girl People including Kajol da started believing it ASB did not protest and He went to Mihir
Chakroborty for help
―Mihir Uncle(তভতয ওোওো) you are the only person who can convince My father
In those days Mihir da was part of the organisation belonging to Kajol da He explained everything
calmly to Kajol da
At the tender age of 17 ASB left his home for the sake of establishing the teachings of Thakur
in His own life He wanted to follow the idealogy of Thakur unconditionally Therefore discarding
all the riches He left Deoghar without carrying anything with Him Since then He has no ties with
His family
ততোয জনয ষতযয জনয দঃঔ লবোক ওযননত োতনত োষফ [Satyanusaran]
Means
Suffer for the Supreme Father for the Truth you will enjoy eternal peace
Since 1988 He has been moving from place to place house to house from one disciple to
another He always had very few disciples as compared to Satsang community However He has been
uncompromising with regard to the discipline established by Thakur He restored the original prayer
of Thakur amongst His disciples He strictly laid down rules for vegetarian diet and observing
Swastyayani vrata He further established Gyatri sadhana ndash a practice which Thakur always wanted to
establish Gyatri sadhana according to Thakur is a part of our Krishti (bloodline) During Thakurlsquos
time these things (Arya Krishti upanayan) were an important subject of discussion
He is very strict with His disciple His disciples respect Him as if He is Thakur However
nobody dares to question His ways He has various moods Sometimes He pretends to be happy
sometimes excited sometimes foolish sometimes angry and violenthellip Though His figure is huge His
way of speaking is very childish He sometimes creates a very hilarious atmosphere by His child-like
attitude Sometimes He is Karalam(fierce) I have heard stories where he had beaten his disciples
black and blues Yet most of His disciples adhere to Him ndash even those who get beaten He is
Thakurlsquos second part and He has to be like this If He is not so then people would take advantage of
Him like people took advantage of Thakur For the betterment of people He doesnlsquot want to be taken
advantage of He is also very caring One moment He can make someone cry and the next moment
He can make someone laugh He can play with human sentiments and can mould anyone I have
experienced this several times within me Sometimes I feel that the Spiritualism Love Devotion
Thakur ASBlsquo everyting is useless I should simply follow my parentlsquos desire get married and be
happy The next moment I get overwhelmed with the feeling of doing something for Thakur Now I
try to pay no heed to the state of my mind He has also put me to various tests in life If He continues
to do that then I feel that some day I might attain the state of equilibrium ndash as Lord Krishna suggested
Let me present to you some of the experiences of some followers of ASB
Poltu da
On 10
th March 2012 I phone-called him He gave me the news that on that very day he became a
proud grandfather I asked him about ASB
Me ―I want to know about your family How long have your been associated with Thakur and Baba
Poltu da ―My family is attached with Thakur since the time of my maternal grandfather Mahim
Charan Dey And my father Manindra Nath Sen was the chashier of Satsang organizaton
Me ―How are you related to Prafulla Das
Poltu da ―He is my uncle(husband of motherlsquos sister) The hundredth birth anniversary of Prafull Das
would be celebrated in Kolkata on April 3rd
when a book ndash encapsulating his interactions with Thakur
ndash would be published
Me ―Who has written the book
Poltu da ―Phani Rai and Sikha Rai Shandilya publisher
Me ―Do they follow Bapun Baba
Poltu da ―Earlier But now on seeing these kind of leela(Divine play) of Baba they are now only
concerned with Thakur Without Babalsquos mercy hanging on to Baba is difficult Sometimes we too go
astray because of such leela He says I am holding you thatlsquos why you are able to hang on to melsquo
that is what I believe Great-great devotees has been made to distract from Him He says See I had
made him forget stuff like Bhakti (লদঔতর লতো বতকত ছটোে তদরোভ)lsquo Momentarily He dissuades their
mind in such a way they they start abusing Him excessively such a great Bhakta abusing Him in such
a way again in some days he returns to the track He tests us sometimes I understand completely that
without His grace staying along Him is difficult We must have love and faith within us still He tests
us such that truly we feel What the heck are we seeing what the heck are we doinglsquo Many people
went astray Just alone His mercy and keeping sincere faith on Him only then by His mercy we can
move on else it is difficult
Me ―How many brothers and sisters you have
Poltu Da ―We are four brothers and three sisters
Me ―Bapun Baba is Thakur how did you realize this fact
Poltu da ―During the time of Thakur we used to hear frequently that Thakur would return He would
return as the son of Kajol This we have heard few number of times when Thakur was still alive He
returned that too we came to know But we were on Bordalsquos side hence we could not go to meet
Him But Baba alone started coming to us very early morning He had to take us to Him so tactfully
He brought us to Cuttack(a place in Orissa)
Me ―One day you said to me that one of your brothers used to do some very good job and Baba
asked him to leave his job
Poltu da ―Yes yes two of my brother One if he stayed then today he would have been the GM of
Steel Authority
Me ―What is his name
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen
Unable to hear properly I asked ―What Koubohellip
Poltu da ―Koumodokhi Sen this name was given by Thakur
Me ―Did Baba ask him to leave his job
Hesitatingly Poltu da said ―Nohellip I was just we had to leavehellip Me and by younger brother who was
working in Central Bank came here
Me ―What was his name
Poltu da ―Padyapad Sen
Me ―Why did he leave his job Did Baba asked him
Poltu da ―Yes Baba told so yes
Me ―Then what are they doing now
Poltu da ―They are doing some small work They are going through a lot of hardhip
Me ―Did Thakur named you four brothers
Poltu da ―Yes He named me Chakradhar Then he said Now my charka(a weapon of Lord Krishna)
has come After this if my gada(another weapon of Vishnu) padma(lotus) and sankh(conch shell)
comes then it will dolsquo Successively three more children were born of my mother The name of
Vishnulsquos gada is Koubodokhi Padyapad means lotus Sankh is born in water therefore Ambupad
All of our brothers and sisters have been named by Thakur Again when my sonlsquos were born we were
on Bordalsquos side so Borda named them Then I thought Oh Our names were given by Thakur Now
Thakur is not there what can we dolsquo Then I thought Thakur once again came as son of Kajol
however we cannot ask him to name my sonslsquo One day at around 1030 PM Baba ndash in the darkness
of night ndash took me to a field in front of a villa There Debi Prasad Mukherjee was also present Baba
asked If I give new names to your sons then would you mindlsquo I thought in my mind I always
wanted thislsquo Then he named my sons He named my younger son Souryadeepto and my elder son
Satyadeepto Baba instructed Do not change the names now as people would come to know Later
sometimes before the Matriculation exam you can change their nameslsquo When we left Deoghar and
came to Cuttack my sons observed upanayan sanskar(a vedic ritual) and took poita It was then that
their names were changed through affidavit
Me ―Could you recount some examples where Baba had put you to test
Poltu da ―Many Many Like what Ramkrishnadev used to say The cow is tied to a pole He can go
as much as the rope allows else he will feel the pull in his necklsquo Ourlsquos is also the same If we try to
do something Baba creates some obstacles in a divine way There are many many experiences But it
requires a suitable mood to tell about Baba else the feeling wonlsquot come Everyone whom Baba has
pulled towards Him has a Mahabharat in his life
Subhankar Banerjee
Once again let me introduce Subhankar Banerjee age 69 He is the son of Justice Prafulla Banerjee
and Baby ma Baby ma was brought up by Thakur like His own daughter He got her married to
Prafulla da who was a Judge of Patna High Court Baby ma was a vegetarian After marriage she
faced lot of difficulties in adjusting to the new environment However through the sincere service of
Baby ma the entire family of Prafulla da turned vegetarian Once Prafulla da got too much invoved in
a case He had to give a verdict and he was confused whether he should give a death sentence or not
He had heard about Thakur a lot from Baby ma So he decided to go to Him On seeing Prafull da ndash
before he could even tell the problem ndash Thakur spoke You have no right to take away any life which
you have not createdlsquo Since then Prafulla da became an ardent follower of Thakur He wrote the
book Prophet and Prophesies in which he had distinctly mentioned about Thakurlsquos return as the son
of Kajol da
I met Subhankar da a couple of times Today on 11th March 2012 I had a small discussion with him
over mobile phone
Me ―I want to meet you for I want to show you the content of book that I am writing
Hesitatigly Subhankar da said ―Ofcourse you can meet But I donlsquot know how much it would help
After all I am very poor in writing Bengali You must be writing the book in Bengali
Me ―No no I am writing in English
Subhankar da ―Still I donlsquot have a single Thakurlsquos book here with me And I do not have too much
knowledge on Thakur I can tell you about two stalwarts who can help you For Bengali writing you
may contact Arup Ranjan Pradhan He had profound knowledge on Thakurlsquos ideology The second
person relater to English writing and computer editing would be Subrata Ghosh These are the two
stalwarts on Babalsquos side
This time I said hesitatingly ―I already talked with them and they seem to be uninterested
Subhankar da ―Why is it so
Me ―I feel perhaps I am writing about Baba thatlsquos why
Subhankar da ―Then I feel that they donlsquot want you to write this book now Write it and keep it to
yourself in a diary format And sometimes when you get permission from Baba you may print it
Me ―Surely I will take permission from ASB and then only I would print this book
I thought in my mind that taking permission from ASB would be very difficult Approaching Him is
very difficult He doesnlsquot meet anybody and His followers donlsquot usually dare to ask Him a question
until He gives them an opportunity to speak
Subhankar da had so many interactions with ASB ASB address him as uncle Since ASB was a very
young kid He used to come to them and spend time with them He loves his family For two entire
years Bumba the son of Subhankar da stayed with ASB in secrecy when Bumba just completed his
High School There are many occasions when Subhankar da travelled with ASB to different places I
wondered if someone saw Thakur in his dream or met any descendent of Thakur then he boasts about
his experience so much Yet Subhankar da was so humble and he did not have the confidence to
speak about ASB or Thakur
বকত ভোষন তও অোরমও-ফযং তফনীত-ংমকত জঞোনী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Does a devotee mean a fool Rather a wise man with humble pride
Ratna di
She is around 45 year old ASB respects her like a mother She has unaccountable number of
experiences with ASB She is a diabetic and takes insulin injection twice a day Because of being
diabetic she sometimes suffers a lot Recently she was on the verge of dying due to a heart problem
caused by diabetes She narrated the incident to me
Ratna di ―My vision turned distorted and blurry I saw two images of every objects I did not tell
about this (vision turning distorted and blurry) to anybody My body became motionless My son was
crying I had thought that I would not ask anything to Baba but now I am bound to ask one thing in
my mind Baba forgive melsquo
What is that the she had sought forgiveness for I didnlsquot feel like asking her Today on 11th Mar I
called her
Ratna di ―Today yet again I am feeling very sick I must go to the doctor tomorrow
Me ―That day you told me that you had sought forgiveness for something What was it
Ratna di ―I donlsquot remember Once I remember I will let you know Could be something that he had
asked me to do and I could not do it
I understood that it could be one of ASBlsquos clumsy requests that she might have failed to adhere to
ASB often makes some foolish request His disciple follows them unquestionable For example ASB
on day asked someone to go to the police station and logde a complaint against Kajol da that he has
stolen the petrol from ASBlsquos car I further questioned Ratna di
Me ―Did you not ask ASB about the cure of your diabetes
Ratna di ―One day ASB gave me a glass He asked me to keep it filled with water every night and
drink it in the morning It helped temporarily Then later he used to get me herbal medicines from
Bangalore It too helped for few days He adviced me to go for a blood-test regularly ndash once in every
ten days
Me ―ASB had once assigned you to a task to go to mansarovar in Nepal and get the rare species of
lotus Did you plan to pursue it
RATNA di ―One day I saw on the internet that the temperature of the place is minus 38 degree Are
you looking for a job change in Kolkata
Me ―Yes For last few days I forgot I would once again start looking for a job in Kolkata
RATNA di ―Come soon If you go to ASB and seek for a visit then out of five attempts you might
succeed in one
Mihir Chakroborty
He is 55 years old His parents were disciples of Thakur He took initiation of Thakur at the age of 16 Six
months later ndash against the will of his parents ndash he took swastyayani vrata At the age of 25 he became a
ritwik on Kajol dalsquos side He got acquainted with ASB in the year 1987 In the year 1997 he got re-
initiated by ASB and he gave me the new holy name Today on 11th
March 2012 I phone-called him and
the following discussion took place
Me ―Initially you took initiation on Bordalsquos side Then why did you go to Kajol dalsquos side
Mihir da ―After 2-3 years of initiation when I saw that there is a matter of illusion on Bordalsquos side
Thakur was being manipulater there Thakur said Convey the message of Parampita to the people in a
clear waylsquo Where as it (Thakurlsquos ideology) was being misunderstood there Misunderstanding is
রষলোততভ অষন মঔন আষট অিোমথয - তততনআ গর তততনআ ফোয জীফন-দোািো তততনআ ফোয জীফন-লভর Translation of above Bengali phrase
When Purushottam descends He alone is ideal teacher and guru He alone is everybodylsquos life flow He alone is everybodylsquos life support
He alone could be Acharya and there could never be any other Acharya
I interrupted him ―By Purushottam what do you mean ASB
Mihir da ―No No Thakur Anukulchandra
Me ―But Thakur had already left by then
Mihir da ―Ah When did Thakur leave He only came When They descend on Earth They never go You
must understand these If you donlsquot understand these then how would you write book Jesus Christ came
Jesus Christ did not go away As long as sun-moon would exist Jesus Christ would exist But we all
human are coming and our culture do not exist we dissolve people forget us But does anyone forget
Them When Purushottam descends He is Ista Acharya and He himself is Guru Thus this verse got
misunderstood and thousands of verse like this got misunderstood It was then when I came to Kajol dalsquos
side After coming there I came to know about Baba and I practically experienced Him He is a godly man
that I saw in Him Since then I started believing in Him this is my personal matter some may believe Him
someone may not I did
Me ―When did you get initiated by ASB
Mihir da ―1997
Me ―Did ASB give you any special instruction after taking initiation
Mihir da ―Yes He gave me the book for practicing Sandhya Upasana He told me in details that I should
not go to Deoghar again And it has been two years now ASB gave me the right to give holy name to
women In North Bengal and Assam there is noone So He gave the responsibility of this area to me He
said Follow my instructions as I told you then whatever feelings comes to your mind do itlsquo Thakur told
ইশবষযয ওন তযও লনআlsquo (God does not have a partner)
Me ―But Thakur has given instructions as to who should be the next Acharya after he departs
Mihir da ―Those are all misunderstood words Only He is Acharya
Jini Acharon kore jenachan tini acharjolsquo (One who has realised everything through conduct only He is
Acharya) The supreme man realizes through conduct and He only is Acharya And all are sadhak Some
could be big some could be small and some could be average everyone is sadhak God is one and unique
Similarly Purushottam is one and unique There cannot be a second And when He descends again that is a
different matter He has descended again Baba has descended again That I believe If anyone does
believe and does not I donlsquot have to see If my belief is true then there would be an environment created
around me and this way it goes and it is really happening an environment is getting created and this way
I am moving forward
There would be innumerable such accounts of people who follow ASB Usually these people are
broadminded The question is Why are they solsquo
ংওীণথতোয তনওষট লকষর ভন ংওীণথ lsquoলে ষি এফং তফসতততয তনওষট লকষর ভন তফসততত রোব ওষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow when it moves to the expansive(He) it expands
My experience
Six months after knowing about Thakurlsquos return I took my second initiation If I say that my
belief on ASB consolidated within these six months I would be wrong Actually I never doubted on
ASB Since I took initiation of Thakur I had the belief that Thakur would guide me through common
people So I always tried to regard every people After my second initiation on three occasions I went
to Kolkata to have a glimpse of ASB Only a very few people keeps information on the whereabouts
of ASB Subrata da is one of those enthusiasts
1st visit Jan 2011
I took leave from office from 14
th Jan to 18
th Jan 2011 and went to my home town Siliguri in
West Bengal There my parents made me see a couple of girls for marriage I was not much interested
in their looks All I was looking for was that the girl should be of equal or a lower varna Further she
should be fluent in reading Bengali so that after marriage she would be able to read me those books of
Thakur which are written in Bengali
On 18th Jan 2011 I was informed by Subrata da
―ASB had lodged in a hotel and it was a perfect opportunity to see Him Hurry and come to Kolkata
There is no certainity as to how many days ASB would stay at the hotel I would be content at heart
only when I take you near to Him
I told Subrata da that two days later on Thursday night I would fly to Kolkata That way I
would have Friday Saturday and Sunday in my hand On Thursday I was in deep frustration Just few
days back I had returned from leave The boss informed that no one should take leave on Friday as
there would be a team-outing I did not know what to do I thought ―Shall I tell my boss about the
truth It would sound crazy What excuse should I give Engagement and ring ceremony Oh no It
would make things complicated Marriage proposal Yes could be
In the mean time on Thursday afternoon Subrata da called me up and said depressingly ―No
need to come now ASB has left the hotel I thought I should inform you for you would be coming
with lot of hope
I was not at all disheartened on hearing this news I thought that possibly ASB was testing me I
should do my duty and should not leave the hankering within me I decided to go ahead with the
journey I summoned up courage went to the boss and requested ―I need leave on Friday as I would
fly to Kolkata to see a girl for marriage selected by my parents
The boss said ―Great news Bring some sweets from Kolkata We hope to hear the good news
soon God bless you There was a sigh of great relief within me
I reached Kolkata at around 1030 PM I was picked up from the airport by Subrata da and his
dad Netai Ghosh They informed me that despite leaving the previous afternoon ASB had kept the
room booked for one extra day I felt as if He was aware that I was going to visit Him The next day
Subrata da and his dad took me to the hotel room and I paid homage as if the place were a temple
From there we went to see an 82 year old disciple of Thakur ndash the wife of Kalidas Majumdar Subrata
da explained ―Grandma was seeking the photo of ASB for many days Today we have the opportunity
She is the wife of an eminent disciple of Thakur name Kalidas Majumdar You could read about
Kalidas da in many places in the book Alochana Prasanga
On reaching the residence I saw the 82 year old lady wearing a white saree serenly seated on a
chair in an empty room with only Thakurlsquos photo at the corner She was vibrant with love and energy
She spoke very fluently with a childlike voice She said
―Earlier when I first saw the teenage photo of Ananta Shree Baba I was surprised What is this
It is the photo of Thakur in his Bhab-Samadhilsquo I donlsquot have an iota of doubt on the truth that Baba is
Thakur

Visit Sep 2011
On Friday 24
th Sep 2011 I flew to Kolkata I had little throat pain and it was a bit irritatating
Few days back Subrata da had the first opportunity to speak with ASB for 20-30 minutes It was a
great achievement for him
On Saturday accompanied Pranab Mitra ndash an uncle of Subrata da ndash I went to the locality where
ASB was staying on rent It was a three storeyed building Barun Biswas a middle aged disciple of
ASB was with Him for taking care of His needs Silently we waited outside the building for around
an hour continuously staring at the glass window to get a glimpse of ASB I was feeling weak and
had little fever In the mean time my parents called me up My parents never endorse this kind of
activities I did not want to pick up the phone However I thought ―If I ignore my parents then ASB
might ignore me They were unhappy with me as I was spending a lot of money on useless flight
journeys I did not argue much
Barun da came out for going to the market He reluctantly insisted that I should not go up to see
Him Pranab uncle insisted that I be allowed to see Him as I came from a very distant place Pranab
uncle told me to simply go upstairs disregarding the meek resistance of Barun da I went upstairs and
knelt outside the room of ASB The door was half opened I was not able to see ASB From the big
glass window near the staircase I was able to see Pranab uncle He waved his hands and asked me to
peek inside Barun da reluctantly waved his hands and asked me to come out I was very confused I
was then occupied by little fear ―What if ASB comes and stands in front of me with His huge figure
What if He will chase me Where would I run Without peeking inside I simply bowed and returned
I had heard that ASB sometimes scorns his disciples if they allow strangers to peek Him I did not
want ASB to get harsh with Barun da
We three started walking towards the market In the mean time ASB called up Barun da and
ordered him to call up the TV mechanic immidiately Barun da called up the TV mechanic however
the person was not ready to come immediately After disconnecting the call immediately within 5
second ASB called him and asked him to call up the mechanic once again It appeared to me as if He
was watching all our activities Pranab uncle talked with the mechanic ―You are not able to
understand how important it is Your luck will change Forget about anything else just come I will
give you your journey expensehellip Still the mechanic was not ready to come
I thought in my mind ―Why is Pranab uncle talking like a lackey Why is ASB not at all
concerned about me even though I came with so much hope and determinationhellip Perhaps ASB was
testing me I have often heard from people how rude He pretends to be disregarding anyonelsquos
sentiments or complexes I asked Barun da ―Did ASB tell you that he would beat you tonight
because I visited this place Immediately Pranab uncle interrupted me ―You should not say like this
Did you pay homage to Barun da Do it immediately I bowed and touched the feet of Barun da I
felt in my heart as if I was touching ASBlsquos feet Then Pranab uncle and me departed from that place
On the way he told me ―Those who stay with ASB He continuously acts through them They donlsquot
think on their own It is always the influence of ASB that works within them

visit
On Dec 2012 I started writing this book 19
th Jan was the birthday of ASB Subrata da today me
the day before 19th ―Everybody sacrifice money as Istavriti you sacrifice yourself Pray to Him O
Lord I am offering myself to You as a giftlsquo I did so
On 27th Jan 2012 I went with my parents to see a girl for marriage Before going I thought in
my mind ―I would not marry without the consent of ASB My parents donlsquot realize the importance of
it If I accept any girl still my marriage could break at the last moment if ASB doesnlsquot like it So I
would pretend to agree for marrying the girl so that my parents would stop looking for any more girls
This way I could stay relaxed and also keep my parents relaxed Somehow I had the conception that
I should not marry at that stage of my life else I would not be able to dedicate myself to the mission
of ASB
The name of the girl was Simi Sarkar of age 21 She was 9 years younger than me When I first
saw her I thought in my mind ―She is the most beautiful of all the girls I had seen Yet I did not pay
any heed to it For a moment I felt like a fish out of water Marriage was not at all a priority in my life
I was just pretending that I liked her Simi had lost her parents five years back Yet she was full of
positive mentality I noticed a facial characteristic which indicated that she was religious When we
were about to leave their house I had a glimpse of her from the verandah She was standing alone in
the drawing room staring at me with an exuberant smile unconscious of the surrounding She
appeared so beautiful that I still remember that last glance of her It came to my mind ―Thakur said
that if a girl gives place to anyone in her heart then other than that man she should not marry anyone
throughout her life If the girl really liked me to such extent then it would not be a good sign Anyway
I would not care for her Noone cared for my Thakur so why should I care for the world There was
no auspicious date for marriage date which falls for the next 9 months and anything could happen
during that time Who know perhaps World War III would begin
On 12th Feb 2012 our horoscope were matched and the marriage date was finalised on 2
nd May
2012 I felt being challenged by my parents I thought in my mind that by writing the book I would
create such a situation which would break the marriage I was very confident At any cost I had to
complete the book before end of March
When I completed three chapters I e-mailed the book to Subrata da He was impressed and
promised for help I asked him to complete some part of the book He did not reply to some of my
consecutive mails So I thought in my mind that perhaps he did not want to help me I sought help
from Dr Arup Ranjan Pradhan He is a professor of Bengali Literature and is well versed in Sanskrit
He is also a relative of an eminent politician Late Janardhan Mukherjee was in turn a close disciple of
Thakur Initially Arup da was very impressed but later he too refused to help me saying that he could
not dedicate any time for it I took it as an indication that ASB wants me to write the book on my own
without any help from anyone
Sometimes I used to wake up early morning to write the book A very positive inspiration was
working within me ―The World would come to know about Thakur what a precious gem He was
how He was betrayed such a great loss humanity is facing today because of that betrayal Today
Bengal must rise the society must change for better there would be a feeling of universal
brotherhoodhellip
When I disclosed my plan to Mihir da he said ―I am not able to understand anything Whatever
you do think carefully and do Then one day he inspired me ―Why should we be afraid of those who
are not afraid of god You and I have nothing to loose Write everything openly and then let us face
whatever happens There is no peace until you complete the book Again some days later he
discouraged me ―Why are you so concerned about the world Why are you so concerned about
Thakurlsquos pain Who are you to think on it Thakur Himself is responsible for His own present and
future You think about your self-elevation first I felt the testing of ASB through Mihir da I was
very confused ―Should I write the book or should I get married What does ASB want from me I will
follow exactly whatever He commands but I donlsquot know what He wants from me
The book was on the verge of completion I decided to go to Kolkata to explore the faint
possibility of seeking permission from ASB on the matter of book-publishing I was confident as I
felt an inner inspiration which kept me going Further Mihir da advice me ―Tis time donlsquot return
without meeting Him If anyone stops you tell him that it is a matter of your life and death If still he
resists then call me up and ask the person to give the phone to Baba I will directly talk to Him If
required create chaos over there but donlsquot return without meeting Him
On Friday 16th March I flew to Kolkata and as usual boarded at Subrata dalsquos residence On
17th March Subrata da called up some devotee to know about His whereabouts I and Netai uncle ndash
father of Subrata da ndash decided to go to the residence of some devotee where ASB was staying at that
time I booked a car as the place was 40-45 kilometres away
On reaching a middle aged lady ndash whom I addressed as aunt ndash received us from the corner of a
road with utmost curiosity While leading us to her residence she explained ―I used to put water on
the idol of Lord Shiva everyday Suddenly one day I fell very sick My skin colour turned dark
Someone might have cast a spell on me I mourned Lord Shiva I am unable to do pooja as I am very
sicklsquo Within days Baba came to our residence Within days Baba came to my residence
On reaching the house first time in my life I was able to hear aloud the voice of ASB The
main door was wide open but ASB was in the inner room He was talking in Hindi over phone ―That
tantrikhellip The lady gave us prasadam ndash the remains of His meal I took it with devotion but initially I
felt little hesitant inside For few minutes I continuously gazed through the window to have a glance
of ASB but all in vain Then as instructed by the lady I knelt and bowed at the verandah My
palpitation increased and I became very worried ―I must meet Him this time But why is my courage
giving up Why am I unable to summon the courage to shout and call Him Why am I unable to enter
into the house I was stuck between respect and determination I gazed through the window one last
time but He did not appear
I called up Mihir da and handed the phone to aunt She was not ready to listen to Mihir da and
she ignorantly handed back the phone to me Mihir da adamantly and vehemently insisted ―Sujoy
donlsquot return without meeting Him else donlsquot talk to me from today Let you be victorious let you be
victorious We started walking towards the main road I was in a state of utter dilemma and distress
Netai uncle and the lady was busy talking to wach other about ASB
I interrupted suddenly with a breaking tone ―I must talk to ASB Else how would I know if the
marriage is not hypogamous(pratilom) She politely explained ―Baba doesnlsquot talk to anyone without
His wish I said ―Then I would stand here entire day They said ―Even if you stand here throughout
the entire day still He will not appear I said with determination ―I must give the test If He doesnlsquot
appear today then tomorrow I will leave Netai uncle insisted ―Do not seek for you desire See that
He stays happy If you do this He will feel pain Go to the doorstep once again and pray to Him
Baba I have come to seek your blessings for my marriage If the marriage is auspicious then let it
happen else break itlsquo Now go
I walked to the verandah knelt ndash with my head touching the ground ndash and started crying ―Baba
I donlsquot want to see you Just give me your instruction as what should I do next Oh Baba Thakur
Just tell me once I beg you have mercyhellip The more I cried the more His voice became louder
After couple of minutes Netai uncle tapped me on my back I was crying on wiping my tears He
consoled me and said ―Donlsquot worry someday when Baba would come to our house you would also
come and stay at our house Now go and peek through the window once more I went and saw Him
standing and talking over the phone Instantly with folded handed and wet eyes I made myself visible
ndash as I did not want to deceive Him by hiding and peeking He shyly looked at me turned and went
inside the room He had white beard His eyes were very deep His face was very prominent He
appeared very beautiful I saw Him for not more than five seconds I came and told to Netai uncle ―I
have seen Him Surprisingly he said ―What you have seen Him You life has become fruitfulhellip I
thought in my mind ―But the purpose for which I came here is still unresolved
I was filled with activeness Perhaps it was by the influence of ASB I assumed that ASB wants
me to write the book and the book would be a rising call for many people For the next two days I
slept for and average of three hours and wrote the book Subrata da helped me to type the difficult
Bengali words He also helped me to locate some of Thakurlsquos important mottos I decided to change
my plan of flying back to Delhi I decided to fly to my home Siliguri On Monday I mailed the book
to Subrata da On Monday I reached the airport in the morning On my way to the airport I received a
call from Subrata da He said ―Sujoy there is a mistake in one of the motto of Thakur and itlsquos
interpretation I will mail you the correct version After reaching the airport I took the boarding pass
Subrata da once again called me up saying ―What are you writing Sujoy Immediately cancel your trip
to Siliguri Else I will call up your parents and tell them everything You will be murdered Sujoy
Me ―Please talk to Mihir da once
Subrata da ―I am not going to talk to Mihir da once you hang up the phone I will call your
parents and tell them everything I argued ―Subrata da if I want I will publish this book on the
internet Nobody can stop me
Subrata da ―Sujoy I am your true well-wisher There is too much need of you in Babalsquos
world
Me ―Even I mailed you the book containing those contents You did not stop me at that time
Subrata da ―That time I was very busy with my office work I used to sleep for three hours a
day I did not get time to check personal mails My company would have terminated me had I not
worked sincerely during that crisis situation
Me ―The very reason I went to ASB was to get permission for writing the book If that was the
case why didnlsquot ASB stop me earlier Why did I used to get such inspiration from within What did
He showed up to me
Subrata da ―Perhaps ASB wants you to write the book but not the way you are writing it
Me ―I am very confused I donlsquot know what to do Should I return to Delhi The flight is at
100 PM Or should I go to Siliguri with the boarding pass that I have
Subrata da ―Go home and relax Go and meet your parents
Me ―Ok Give me 5 min I will cross the security-check and call you I called him after couple
of minutes and the discussion continued
Subrata da ―I am sitting in front of Babalsquos photo I prayed to Baba If you desire that I should
talk to Mihir da then let my phone connectlsquo I called up Mihir da two times with full ring He did not
pick up the phone Now I will not call him any more Sujoy your entire career will be wasted Even
your life would be endangered
Me ―Yes Knowing all these I was writing the book I am born on Earth and this time I will
attain Him at any cost How do I know that my marriage is not pratilom I will not marry without the
permission of ASB Further
Subrata da ―Talk to my dad He wants to talk to you
Netai uncle ―Sujoy I had asked you to pray to Baba If you wish that I marry then show
yourself else notlsquo Did you not do that
Me ―Yes I did so
Netai uncle ―Then where is the confusion He blessed you by showing Himself up to you And
Sujoy you are writing about the truth Do you know the meaning of truth
Me ―Truth means wellbeing
Netai uncle ―Yes something which helps in elevation of others What wellbeing will it do if
you write these facts in your book It will create chaos Let me tell you a story as narrated by Thakur
Once there was a shopkeeper who used to sell adultrated items He was the only shopkeeper in that
village There was an honest person who was aware of the activities of the shopkeeper Sujoy what
should the shopkeeper do Should he go and tell everyone about the misdeed of the shopkeeper In
that case the entire village will turn hostile to that person saying By virtue of that shopkeeper we are
not having to go to distant places We are getting everything so easily He is such a benevolent man
You are jealous of him and we we will not stand itlsquo The villagers would assult that person Thakur
said that the person should open a shop near to the shop of the shopkeeper Without abusing the
shopkeeper he should start selling good quality items at his shop Gradually people would come to
know the truth In this way without creating chaos he could achieve his objective Sujoy do
something which attracts people towards you Prepare yourself for that Start reading Thakurlsquos book
Did you understand what I said Now talk to Subrata da
Me ―Subrata da why did Thakur say that we must protect Him even disregarding His
command and that would be the utmost devotion
Subrata da ―Sujoy devotion does not mean that you go on making war with the world
Devotion means suppose Thakur is very sick and a disciple is attending Him all the time Then some
distressful person comes to Thakur with his problem Without considering His own condition Thakur
orders the disciple to go and solve the problem of that person In that case the disciple must disregard
Thakurlsquos command and stay with Himhellip Sujoy imagine how much pain will it cause to your parents
if you take this step
Me ―Why did Jesus say that we must love Him more than our parents
Subrata da ―First love your parents then the question of loving more comes You havenlsquot loved
your parents and how can you love Him more You can never come to ASB by causing pain to your
parents Go home and embrace your mother Start preparing for your marriage
Me ―But Subrata da I am not at all mentally prepared for marriage
Subrata da ―Then start preparing from now Go home and meet Simi
Me ―Her home is located 120 kilometres away from my home I will take four hours to go to
her place
Subrata da ―Doesnlsquot matter You can go and retun in a day
Me ―Subrata da it would be too strenuous for me Tomorrow I must fly to Delhi else my job
could be in risk Or I may not get leave for my marriage
Subrata da ―Ok at-least talk to her over phone
I called up my mother and said to her that I was coming home I called Mihir da and said that I
had decided to postpone the publishing of the book It was again a turning point in my life I felt the
stress in my brain I did not understand what was happening in my life For some time I tried to
remove ASB from my mind Too tough a test it was I was on the plane flying to Siliguri It was
difficult for me to believe that despite having dedicated my entire life to Him He is testing me so
much
I reached home I saw everybody little perplexed though they did not express it to me The
politely asked me the cause of flying to Kolkata I said ―I went to meet my gurudev to seek
permission for my marriage My mother asked ―Did you get permission In a single word I replied
Yeslsquo She asked ―Did He showed up to you this time I said ―Yes He showed up and returned
immediately She asked ―How does He look like I replied ―Like a thief She broke into laughter I
thought in my mind ―Verily like Jesus said like a thieflsquo
Today I realize that it is only by the blessing of ASB that I got Simi She is a blessing in my life
I got a girl far better than I could have ever imagined
Definitely this time He is dayaal (merciful) as well as Karaal (fierce) This is how He has to be
else the renaissance of Arya Krishti might not be possible
―Provide Lord
the least shelter and stay
in your heart
and keep nurturing it
HE will eventually seize
the whole of your being and
will effulge through you
like a rocket
to materialise
HIS mission on earth

But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery [St Matthew

The reason being those seers ndash being detached from Living Purushottam ndash has not realised the root
cause of this deterioration Thakur has emphasised so much on marriage system Today the followers
of ISKCON are taught that they could marry anyone without any discrimination of Varna system
They have an understanding that in Kaliyuga everyone has turned Shudra Whatever we do out of our
own definitions of Dharmalsquo ndash without being attached with Living Ideal ndash are definitely
Lawlessnesslsquo In an attempt to do good we end up doing wrong to the society and ourselves

Means
Prokashda (Bosu) ndash What is the the first sign of ability in ideal-centric walk of life
Shri Shri Thakur said intensly ndash On becoming unfavourable to your ideal-centric way your wife is not
your wife son is not your son friends not your friends nothing is nothing similar state ndash of keeping
no expectation and becoming rigid ndash arises within you not till then itlsquos all fake display of skills till
then itlsquos all drama Actual work will not begin before that Actual working is far being under the
influence of your complexes the words of ideal do not easily get into the head Thus by keeping no
expectation and by becoming rigid you have taken the first step towards real ideal-centric work
The devotees of ASB have achieved this through their life ASB has moulded their lives
accordingly Some of the followers have been impoverished some do not have a proper family some
donlsquot have a job some have crossed their middle age and yet have not married some are physically
ailed Yet they hardly complain Nor do they pray for a better life This is a clear demarcation
between the followers of ASB and others I feel this is a way of nurturing of Living Ideal
Furthermore ASB came to do the practical of the theory that Thakur has taught
Holy spirit
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come [St
Matthew 1232]
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো [Punya Punthi first line]
Means
I want pure (Holy) Spirit
I believe that all those who are following ASB are pure spirits Therefore they need not be afraid of
anything
Listen to the messenger of the Prophet
But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear For assuredly I say to you that
many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it and to hear what
you hear and did not hear it [St Matthew 1316-17]
Therefore I feel that saints and wise men from across the world should come and listen to people like
Mihir Chakroborty for they are the messenger of the Prophet
Become a child
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying ―Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Then Jesus called a little child to Him set him in the midst of them and said ―Assuredly I say to you
unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven [St Matthew 18 1-3]
Thakur has laid down the discipline of sishu-prajapatya vrata He has instructed us to do sishu-
prajapatya vrata atleast once in a year This vrata induces a childlike innocence within us Apart from
that our eagerness to carry out His command plays an important role
After taking His initiation and following the His practical guidelines our ego gradually
diminishes and we become child-like This happens through a process of nurturing that we receive
from Him The nurturing is not same for all He does it as per our distinctiveness The nurturing
involves bringing us to test taking us through pain and suffering caring and catering our needshellip If a
blackboard is already scribbled then it is difficult to write anything new on it Similarly our mind
must be cleaned and we must attain a clild-like innocent state Thereafter we start receiving true
knowledge from Living Ideal A child is always curious and proactive He is always ready to learn
new things Therefore we must be ready to adapt to any change that is necessary
Be wealthy No harm
Then Jesus said to his disciples ―Assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God [St Matthew 1923-24]
ধতন কষতত নোআ তওনত দীন এফং দোতো ধনফোন মতদ ঙকোযী ে ল দদথোে ফনত ে [Satyanusaran]
Means Be wealthy no harm But be humble and charitable
If a rich man be proud he becomes downed with distress
Receive Him when He knocks
As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealous and repent
Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the doo I will come in to
him and dine with him and he with Me
To Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down
with My father on His throne
He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches [Revelation 319-22]
Since ASB left home He moves from door to door of His followers Some welcome Him and
some do not welcome Him at their door Those who welcomes Him He stays with them for few days
Yet sometimes He would rebuke them severly at their own house And those who could stand the
harsh treatment he would one day be blessed with the kingdom of heaven
Further the book of PSAMS is a book of devotion There the devotee seems to pray to Christ to
allievate them from their plight Though they are ardent devotees and sing the praise of the Lord yet
they seem to be in great distress However they continue to sing the praise of the Lord ASB is
manifesting all these with His disciples
ASB does not want us to suffer for our stupidity and thus He rudely drags us to the right path
He is above 40 years old now and still hiding like a thief He moves from house to house from people
to people alleviating their problem at the cost of His own discomfort Whenever a devotee is facing
some life-threatning danger He goes and stays at their house till the danger is cast off Imagine what
would happen if He comes to light I feel He would not disclose Himself to you unless you
understand what Thakur actually came for You must know what Thakur actually wanted of you
Chapter 9
How things happen
জীফষনয ঈষদয বোফষও এওদভ তোতিষে লদেো অয তোlsquo লওফর ওোযণষও জোনষরআ lsquoলত োষয [Satyanusaran] Means
The purpose of life is to drive away want completely and that is possible only by knowing the Cause
Let me explain to you ndash as I have understood ndash how things happen and the cause behind them
Weakness a hindrance to spiritualism
রবথপরথভ অভোষদয দরবথরতোয তফরষি মি ওযষত ষফ | োী লত ষফ ফীয লত ষফ | োষয জবরনত পরততভতততথ ঐ দরবথরতো | অষক োী ওট তষফ জোনো মোষফ লতোভোয ধরমথ যোষজয লঢোওফোয তধওোয জষনমষছ | [Satyanusaran]
Means
First of all we have to wage war on weakness We must be bold and brave for weakness is sin
incarnateThen it is clear you have the right to enter the kingdom of heaven
মতদ যকষো লষত িো বে এফং দরবথরতো ফlsquoলর তওছ লযষঔো নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If you wish to be saved have no fear ndash no weakness
In 2009 two months after initiation I left non-vegetarian food without any hesitation I decided
to stay in Satsang centre NOIDA My parents insisted a lot that I do not stay there They said ―You
could take a residence near the centre I was a software engineer in a multi-national company I
could have easily afforded a nice rented accommodation Still I knew that in order to overcome my
problem ndash throat infection ndash I must stay at the centre Staying there I never gave way to weakness I
was firm and tolerated everything peacefully
Weakness is the tendency of human nature to surrender to complexes Often we know what is
right yet we feel reluctant to pursue it This situation could be overcome if we take initiation of
Living Ideal and chant the holy name Without initiation chanting of holy name is immaterial as
initiation makes the holy name active Chanting of holy name brings balanced coordination between
the sensory and mortor nerves There are people who are creative thinker but rarely materialize their
thinking because of their lazyness On the other hand there are people who are very prompt in action
but do not think much before they do anything Therefore sometimes their action causes problem
These happen because of improper coordination of motor and sensory nerves
Meditation on the holy name improves thought and action Our mind becomes sharp and
receptive ndash ability to understand the very nature of things We do what we think and speak what we
do Thus within us there develops a coordination of thinking speaking and doing I think this is
called honesty
No cunning is so good as simple honesty Any person whatever he may be must be caught in
this trap ―Honesty is the best policy [Satyanusaran]
Inquisitiveness the beginning of pursuing Him
Since April 2009 I started going to satsang centre every Friday evening It was this
inquisitiveness that drove me and made me progress Every moment I was eager to know about
Thakur Finally it is this inquisitiveness that helped me to know about ASB I have seen people who
are so eager to speak about Thakur Yet they lack eagerness to hear about Him If someone speaks to
them about Thakur it appears as if it hurts their ego If this happens then it is to be understood that
there is some fault within us We must constantly think about His blessings on us and develop this
eagerness He has blessed us in a lot of ways We have caring parents friends relatives job etc ndash all
because of Him We canlsquot give Him anything and we are always His eternal servants
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engagedmdash to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims
insulting the pioneer of prosperitymdash
Inquisitivenessmdash
thunder roars suddenly
and falls onmdash
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside [The Message Vol I]
We must once again refuel our inquisitiveness We must have the hankering to know about god
to know about out ancestors to know about creation science to know about being and becoming to
know about the universe to know about time and its equationhellip
Therefore let not your inquisitiveness die for the sake of self enjoyment Your inquisitiveness would
set you towards Being and Becoming
Measurement of progress
অতকষে মো তওনত লভষ লদঔষত লম নো ওতদয এতকষেছ তোrsquoলর অফোয ততছষে rsquoিষফ [Satyanusaran] Means
Move forward But donlsquot try to measure how far you have gone lest you fall back again
Today most disciples of Thakur consider themselves as distinguished workers They feel that
they are better than an ordinary man who does not have a guru They also feel that they are more
fortunate than those who follow some other guru This is also a kind of measurement I have seen people reaching a stagnation point They feel that attending satsang and doing
naam-jaap is everything of spiritualism They donlsquot have any knowledge of pitri poshan The fault is
not theirs I think there is no proper leader
Making Him Infinite
বোযষতয ফনতত (degenaration) তঔন-লথষওআ অযমভ ষেষছ মঔন-লথষও বোযতফোীয ওোষছ ভততথ বকফোন ীভ লে ঈষঠষছ hellip
Means
The degeneration of humanity began at the moment when the unseen God was made infinite
Do we pay Him istavriti as a tax to keep us safe for 24 hours Do people think that istavriti
satsang swastyayani etc would bring material accomplishment We donlsquot do the original prayer of
Thakur Nor there is any discussion of why Thakur descended on Earth
Once I had talked with a distinguished disciple of ASB I tried to share one teaching of
Ramkrishna with him Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted ―We must follow the latest
prophet He brings yuga dharmahellipASB has descended from the highest level even higher than
Thakurhellip To explain him is very difficulthellip I feel that we should not disregard the teachings of any
past prophet Thakur wanted every person to be given the teachings of Quran and Geeta and other
scriptures I also fell that we should not commit the blunder of making Him infinite
No more crucifixion
HORROR mdashIT IS HORROR
Horrormdashit is horror
Come back from the filth
obnoxious heinous
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful
pathetic
criminal blood-shedmdash
AhOh mdash
Be astray and off from it
[The Message Vol I]
I have read somewhere that Thakur said ―Jesus is crucified even today When I first came to
know the reason behind it I tried to convince my friends and some devotees about it They donlsquot seem
to be concerned They donlsquot love Thakur They in a way love their complexes They boast about
their accomplishments after following Thakur ―I got a good jobhellip I got my sister marriedhellip I built a
good house They never want to know why Thakur said I did not find a single manlsquo They donlsquot
want to know why Thakur used to keep himself locked in bathroom for hours out of plight They
donlsquot want to know why Thakur slapped Himself with His sandal during His old age and ailing days
Inaction is a self deception
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved is Sham
[The Message Vol I]
ভো তনষজয োষত লছষরতষরয মে ওষয ফlsquoলর লছষরয ঈয অিিো অষ তন - তোআ ত বোরফোো [Satyanusaran] Means
Disregard for children never appears in the motherlsquos heart because she cares for them with her own
hands hence her love is so great
Inaction is a hinderance to love After all which mother will love his son the most ndash The mother
who educated her child in a boarding school or the mother who brought up his child with lot of care
through difficult conditions Perhaps this could be the reason why the followers of ASB love Him so
much for they take so much pain to fulfill Him Thus we should never deceive the Living Ideal
through our inaction else we shall be deceived Thus Thakur verily said
লষক ভযোয লিষে লষট ভযো বোর | [Satyanusaran]
It is better to die in toil then to die in toilet
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on
them unless they act [Gautam Buddha]
Propagate the ultimate truth ndash Him

Means
Propagating a truth who speaks about his greatness who is always busy with himself who tries to
show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement ndash in love in
words in reliance ndash however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion ndash he is a hypocrite for
sure Stay far away from him Donlsquot listen to his words There is no truth in his heart How can
feeling appear if there is no truth in the mind

Means
When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good what you know as
Truth ndash with the mind unaffected by what people say about you but feeling pleasure if you find men
inclined towards Truth ndash that is preaching
(Charm yourself if you wish to charm others First we need to become then naturally without effort
we would actually start propagating Him That is what Thakur wanted of us That is why He did not
find a single man who became an actual preacher Else that single man would have enlightened the
entire world His name and fame would have spread to the far corners of the world thus with it the
teachings of Thakur would have spread across entire world)
Resist Evil to end it

Sushilda ndash Then what is the meaning of Resist no evillsquo
Sri Sri Thakur ndash I feel the sentence has error in punctuation As James said Resist no evillsquo It is
alone right meaning resist and there shall be no evil If we do not resist evil then we (primarily
Thakur Himself) the lover of existence will merge into non-existence I do not feel that Jesus Christ
the saviour of mankind wanted to say like that And seeing His own conduct in His life too we cannot
feel that He has continually shown protest against injustice strongly Say for instance He went to the
temple and saw how businessmen had opened shops at the yard of the temple their how rudely He
stood and broomed everyone away Is it a principle of non-resistance However one thing we can
see in the lives of Great Men (Mahapurush) is that they are very eager to save the life of even an
insect but they never think about themselves They are not habituated to think that way They think
about everyone They get happiness by catering for others Their personal safety and peace lies on
those people who love Them If they(devotee) do not embrace Them safetly then Their existence at
any point of time could be endangered They are very unfailingly valiant towards the protection of
others but inactive towards self-protection They are hungry for love if they see anyone doing
something for Them out of love They become extremely happy They are so careless about Themselvs
that even if They know something is harmful for Them They still say ndash yes Let it verily happen do
not stop for if that happens then someone may get benifitted or it would favour the attainment of
self-interest For them verily ndash ―Thy necessity is greater than mine therefore what else could be the
want Your(Thakurlsquos) need(existence of others) must get fulfilled even at the cost of Your life so
what is the loss For people why only for people even for trivial living being too They can do that
much ndash such unaccountably careless and selfless They are But if we let that happen to Them in
support of the saying lsquoLet it happen do not stoprsquo holding ourselves back and sitting relaxed not
caring for Their safety with an excuse of serving orders then that will be the utmost fraud in the
name of devotion-to-ideal Under such circumstances disobeying their order if we save Them ndash that
would be the apex of devotion-to-ideal Even if They show anger at last They would be delighted at
that
I feel that had the disciples of Christ resisted He wouldnlsquot have been crucified We see the
above excerpts relevant in Thakurlsquos life too It is this inspiration of resistance that provoked me to
take such bold steps towards His establishment
Conflicts occur when we pursue our beloved ideal
Sri Sri Thakur The Revealed phrase IX
And when rappings on
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexesmdash
discretely and collectivelymdash
the impressions rebound
and set in the individualmdash
according to sympathy and apathymdash
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest mdash
thus knowledge growsmdash
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual
the Ideal and wisdom
In this waymdash
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
through a grand generalization of
wisdom
Thus the environment and our complexes collectively and discretely create conflicts within us
whenever we try to follow our ideal ardently And when overcoming a conflict we move on serving
the interest of our ideal it becomes our experience Multiple such experience helps to adjust ndash in
other words control ndash our complexes Thus our knowledge grows with the better understanding of
those complexes The knowledge gets printed in our subconscious mind When we no more give way
to our complexes the conflicts ndash created by nature and our complexes ndash subsides gradually We
develop a childlike humbleness and our ego dissolves Then we become concentric to the ideal and
we start receiving knowledge from the ideal
A living ideal is the best person who creates these conflicts Further attachment to a living
ideal is much easier than attachment to an invisible prophet We can see how ASB creates conflicts
within his disciples ndash through the harsh treatment and manifestation of adverse situations in the life of
his disciple Today there is nobody other than ASB who can create such conflicts and help us to
adjust our complex in a nurtured way Some of his disciples sometimes speaks ill of him ndash though
not in front of him as he is apparently very strict ndash because of the harsh treatment they receive Yet I
have seen that they love him the most
We should not try to surrender to the Living Ideal for Thakur says that the intention to
surrender is itself an obstruction to natural surrender We just need to follow his instructions Slowly
our labour for him would generate love After some time we would realize that we can renounce all
materialistic happiness and all human relationship but we cannot imagine a world without him At
this point the surrender has naturally occured
Pain ndash The moulding factor

The true Guide has a light ego He will never assert His own strength to you by Himself and so will
follow you according to your thought This is the characteristic of a true Guide If you really have a
true Guide whatever you do no fear You cannot be destroyed Only keep prepared for sufferings

Exhausted in Want the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being otherwise not
―What will remove Want and how From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at
last
ঙকোয লমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফত [Satyanusaran] Means
The thinner the pride the bigger the place for devotion
Without pain the ego does not dissolve That is the reason I received pain That is the reason we
receive pain No one can pass without giving a test That is the reason why ASB inflicts pain ndash in a
similar way as explained in the book of Psams And then at the end when we look at ourselves we
have actually grown beautiful
No Love no Accomplishment
অতভ িোআ শি অতমো ndash [First Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
I want pure spirit
I have read the following lines from a website wwwdavidickecomheadlines
―
The highest thing you can be is unconditional love This term has been used and misused in so many
ways that it has more or less lost its meaning Of course it has nothing to do with a man loving a
woman or vice versa although thatrsquos a smaller part of it Unconditional love is a state of being ie
PURE SPIRIT Itrsquos our natural state Everything else is illusion or arbitrary
To even get a glimpse of what unconditional love is one must first abandon ones ego thinking its all
about you When you are able to fully understand that we all are a part of ONE we also know without
any doubt that Unconditional Love is our state of being
অয মতআ মো ওয জঞোন িো ফতি িো মতদ তোাষও নো বোরফোষো তষফ লতোভোয তওছ ষফ নো লওফর তিতনয ফরদ ndash [Last Line of Punya Punthi]
Means
And whatever you do ask for knowledge ask for wisdom if you do not love Him then you would not
attain anything ndash then you would be just a mass of sugar
What is love
লপরভ বতকতযআ িভননতত বতকতয কোিতবআ লপরভ ঙকোয জষমঔোষন মত োতরো বতকতয িোন লঔোষন তত লফী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Love is gradual development of devotion Concentration of devotion is love The thinner the pride
the bigger the place for devotion
[Alochana Prasange Vol -4 Pg-112]
It Means
Sitting near Sri Sri Thakur Kesto da asked How does everything develop through love
Thakur See when people does something great he requires an unending inspiration behind him
else he cannot become victorious by overcoming hinderances and obstacles in every step cannot
keep his entire life under the heat of continious striving by little he gets tired frustrated gets
typically inclined to comfort He thinks eating sleeping staying good what is the use of jumping
Therefor inspiration is must required which does not allow him to be steady continiously pushing
him in the path of laborious attainment (sadhana) There is no escape from it The same inspiration
behind so-called ambition this inspiration is motionless The reason being ambition is a complexion
of complex In it the whole beinglsquo of human cannot be found And if the whole beinglsquo could not be
poured into something then in that matter even our whole energy does not get unlocked
What is devotion
তফলষে ভন ংরগন থোওোষও অতকত ফষর অয ৎ-এ ংরগন থোওোষও বতকত ফষর [Satyanusaran]
Means
When the mind is fastened to worldly things it is addiction When it is attached to the Divine it is
devotion
How does devotion develop
Devotion develops through adherence that is through following His discipline ardently
How does adherence develop
তফশবো নো এষর তনষঠো অষ নো অয তনষঠো ছোিো বতকত থোওষত োষয নো [Satyanusaran]
Means
If there is no faith there can be no adherence and without adherence there can be no devotion
How does faith develop
Faith develops by knowing about Him The more we know about Him the more our faith concentrates
I have known about Thakur through books listening to old people internet etc The urge of knowing
about Him never decreased I am always eager and curious to listen to any anecdote related to Thakur

You love But when the Beloved insists influences rules insults makes angry pretences or forces
and you rather than feeling pleasure suffer from the reverse all your happiness washes away I say
you will cheat and be cheated surely And this will continue as long as you are such So while there
is time take care
The charm of love ndash increases with hinderance causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the
Beloved becomes vigorous in seperation doesnlsquot stupefy a man remains for ever unsatisfied never
leaves once it has touched and is unchangeable
The disciples of ASB never leave Him despite sometimes receiving inhuman treatment from
Him Perhaps this is the proof that they really love Him Subrata da often used to tell me ―We must
pray to Him Despite all my shortcommings I still love youlsquo Whatever there is in your heart you
could tell in front of His photo ASB told that He listens everything we speak in front of His photo
It was true I realised it on many ocassions
During my school days when I started doing meditation there was a time when I disregarded
god In fact I started hating god I could not simply accept the fact that we need Him I considered
Him the cause behind all the sufferings in the world I believed that through my effort I could achieve
higher levels in yoga and thus I would not need Him anymore However when I faced adverse
situation my faith on Him started to develop Today I realize that there is no activity or
accomplishment that is possible without Him We think that Thakur loves us takes care of us protect
us and fulfills our day-to-day needs This approach makes us lazy and is a big obstacle towards
spiritual accomplishment Perhaps this is the reason why there is no disciple like Vivekananda today
ndash because we donlsquot understand the meaning of love I understood what love is when I first saw the
video of Hauserman on the internet Love without expectationlsquo Love is the foundation of everything
Lovelsquo and Himlsquo are indistinguishable
Rise for good
ততভ ঠিও-ঠিও লজষনো লে ততভ লতোভোয লতোভোয তনজ তযফোষযয দষয এফং লদষয ফতথ ভোন বতফলযষতয জনয দোেী [Satyanusaran]
Means
Know this for certain you are responsible for the present and future ndash of yourself your family your
environment and your country
I feel that we have done much wrong to a wonderful person like Thakur by hiding many facts
about Thakur and His mission I have learned moral science ndash during school days ndash for 10 years I
have also read a book namely The four yogas of Swami Vivekanand These books talks about vitues
like love sacrifice selflessness etc However I have never known how to actually develop these
virtues within myself I tried but failed Does anyone become a saint by reading books I feel that
these kinds of books are useless until they motivate us towards Living Ideal For Living Ideal sets a
very practical approach following which we automatically gain these virtues
Life is concentric that is it is always revolves around certain objects ndash money women wine
gambling self-image etc Concentric is the very nature of the universe itself smaller object revolving
around the bigger object When we make the Living Ideal the centre of our life slowly our complexes
ndash lust anger greed passion hatred and fear ndash gets adjusted In simple words our complexes do not
bother us anymore To make the Living Ideal the centre of our life we need to follow his day-to-day
guideline ardently Further the labour that we apply towards fulfilling the guidelines of the living
ideal induces love for Him
I am pleading to the most intelligent people from all over the world I am pleading to all
dedicated men I am pleading to those who love Thakur I am pleading to those who seek god I am
pleading to those who want to attain godhood to come forward and help make the mission of Thakur
a success ndash under the light of Living Ideal Who knows we may unravel the key to manifest what
Jesus said
There will be no deaths in thousand yearshellip
Thakur once said
অভোয ভষন ে ফোংরোষও ঠিও ওযষত োযষর বোযতষও ঠিও ওযষত লফী লদযী রোকষফ নো অয বোযত ঠিও lsquoলর জকষতয ঠিও ফোয থ ঔষর মোষফ অভোয ফরষত আেো ওষয - Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World [Alochana Prasanga Vol-4 Pg-89] Means
I think that if Bengal could be revived than reviving India wonlsquot take much time And if India revives
the path to revive the World would open Bengal is the key to India and India is the key to the World
