Beware of Fake People

 

It is very unfortunate & highly disgusting to note about the acts of some so-called disciples of our holy Gurudev who claim themselves as devotees of our Guruji but would do just the opposite what He has taught us!!  The very major fault I found with them is that these people are very much keen or fond of propagating or advertising their names on the pretext of being disciples. Some of them even went to the extent of doing some sort of business also by the name of our Guruji which raises serious questions on their genuineness of being a disciple!! Actually, these so-called disciples are very far away from the concept of devotion in reality!! By giving some examples I would try to come straightway to the point. As you all know very well that there are hundreds of books available at the various ashrams all over India & Bangladesh being written by various devotees about our holy Gurudev and people most of the time purchase those books hurriedly without doing some sort of research about them or about the authenticity of the authors of those books!! It can be very well appreciated that nowadays writing of books also generates good amount of money and one can’t be very sure about the genuineness of the devotion of those authors towards our holy Gurudev Sri Sri Ramthakur!!! I am having many authentic books about our Guruji and I always try to be very cautious while purchasing them!! Firstly I only purchase those author’s books who had the privilege of accompanying our Guruji or who had enjoyed the company of Him personally and so the incidents written by them are surely & positively very authentic!! Till now most of those people had already written their books long time back but still nowadays one can see that every now & then there are advent of new books which are always on the move and one can see them at the ashrams!! Most of these new books are mostly and surely copied from the original biographies of those devotees who had the privilege of company of our Gurudev, like this these new so-called disciples and authors are copying various incidents from various different original version books and publishing them under their names just to gain some fame and ofcourse last but not the least also some amount of money!!! The best part is that while these fellows are not stopping here they are even advertising the names of their books through various internet social networks & sites whether it is facebook, twitter or Wikipedia etc.  the original authors and the close disciples who wrote those original books never ever resort to any such type of advertisements!!! Many cases it so happened that those authors were not even sure to write about their experiences on paper and get them published under their names (for example “Rambhai Sarane” by Sri Phanindra Malakar Mohashoy) as they felt it to be offensive to let people know about their names as according to them only Sri Sri Thakur’s name should be advertised instead of theirs but Guruji Himself gave such type of indications directly and indirectly to them which subsequently inspired them to write their experiences for the benefit of all of us and for the countless devotees spread all around the globe!!! But I must say that it is very very disappointing & disgusting to see that some shameless business minded people who are least interested in our Holy Gurudev and who are in the disguise of being devotees or disciples of our Sri Sri Thakur are upto such evil activities which needs to be condemned again and again by all of us!!! These people are so hungry for some name and fame but they have forgotten about that great Saint and our Lord Sri Sri Thakur about whom they are writing was Himself against any sort of advertisements or fame!!!  I don’t want to take any names of those people here on this blog but I request you all if you keep your eyes and ears quite alert and open you can very easily figure them out!!! I am at New Delhi and during past few years I have met some people or say the so-called disciples at the delhi ashram who had copied some incidents from various old original books and published books under their names which is just ridiculous!!! After coming to facebook, here also I have found some of those elements and thus I request you all of you also to be very cautious before purchasing any books and don’t fall into the trap of copied versions and instead go for original versions!! If anybody is interested in knowing about original versions of those books, they can ask them at the Sri Sri Ramthakur page at Facebook!! May the All Merciful Gurudev bless all of you!! All Glory to Sri Naam and our holy Gurudev!!! Jai Ram!! Jai Jai Ram!!!

The Religion of Humanism

 

Dear Friends, its been a long time since I wrote anything here on this blog!! For the past few months, I have been noticing one thing on the internet being written about our holy Gurudev by various people which I found to be highly objectionable on my part and subsequently thought that it must be brought before all of you for your knowledge!!!

Our beloved Gurudev, Sri Sri Ramthakur has always been a very strong supporter of the Religion of Humanism rather than other various religions viz. Hinduism, Muslim or Christianity etc. prevalent in the society. There had been many instances where Guruji had indicated on this fact very clearly that his disciples should always strive to give first priority to Humanity before their respective religions. That was the main reason why He had disciples from both the Hindu and Muslim communities from the undivided Bengal of India before the partition days. Infact His very first disciple was Sadhu Cherag Ali who was a muslim from the present Bangladesh and who was one of the greatest devotees of our beloved Gurudev and presently whose house is being visited by lakhs of devotees of our Guruji every year as a place of pilgrimage. Sri Sri Thakur used to initiate all His disciples as per their beliefs or the religion they were into, like for example Sadhu Cherag Ali was initiated by the holy name of Allah and similarly various other hindu disciples were being initated by Sri Sri Thakur by the holy names of various hindu Dieties as per their respective beliefs and faiths!! But when asked by one of His disciples as to which community we all belong Sri Sri Thakur immediately without a second replied that you all belong to the community or religion of Humanity or Humanism!!! My Doyal Gurudev’s doors were always open for all and He never ever differentiated between His disciples on the basis of their caste, colour, creed, religion or community etc. He had even welcomed the prostitutes whom our city based modern & intellectual society people wanted to stop from visiting Him!! It happened once that some prostitutes went to have His darshan which was stopped by the houseowner and other people present there, & when this news reached Him inside the house, Sri Sri Thakur remarked I am old hence I cannot see or hear properly!!! These words had a deep indepth meaning (God never differentiates between anybody, He only gives importance to the pure devotion and love)!! After that Gurudev asked the houseowner to not to stop the mothers to visit Him and even accepted some fruits brought by them in front of all which many people didn’t liked at all!! Like this there are hundreds of incidents where we can find that our Gurudev’s mercy and blessings were showered on each n every person of each n every community or religion!!

But it is very unfortunate & disgusting to notice that some people of their own vested interests are trying their hard to label our beloved Gurudev as an ambassador of the religion of Hinduism!! These people through every possible social networks & sites of internet like facebook, twitter or Wikipedia are always trying their level best to brand Sri Sri Thakur as a Hindu Saint who only believed in the religion of Hinduism but in reality which was not!! Prima facie it seems that these people belong to Bangladesh and they are hell bent on declaring our Guruji as a supporter of Hindu religion but in reality even now in Bangladesh there are many many muslim devotees of our Guruji and they worship Him as a form of Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan as well as Sri Satya Pir!! Sri Satyanarayan Puja and Harinam Sankirtan procession from the house of Sadhu Cherag Ali is being followed with full devotion even today on a particular day every year which is a must to witness by each one of us!! Through this forum, I appeal to all my Guru brothers & sisters to boycott & not to believe those ideals and people believing or propagating them who want to categorize our beloved Gurudev as a believer of only the religion of Hinduism!! Please oppose them very strongly whenever you see such type of thing as Lord is for all just like the Sunlight falls on each and everybody equally without any type of differentiation based on their caste, colour, creed or religion etc. Remember the famous quotation from Srimad Bhagvad Gita, Yada Yade Hi Dharmasya… Did the Lord mentioned here about any name of a religion or people of a particular community??? No, because this message was meant for all and for the Humanity of which all are His dear children!!! Jai Ram!!
