Sri Ramthakur is Lord Sri Satyanarayan


 
I am really amazed that how dare these followers of dadaji can explain about Sri Sri Satyanarayan & His holy portrait about whom till date after Sri Sri Thakur has left His divine body none of His devotees have been empowered or dared to say anything about it!!!  They are really nuts I must say… they said that Sri Satyanarayan is the symbol of Truth (they only prefer to address our Guruji as Truth) but this is completely nonsense!! Infact He is not any symbol.. what do they mean by Symbol?? Is he representing somebody?? He is the Truth Himself and yes He is not any person infact He is the Lord of unlimit universe Sri Sri Satyanarayan Himself!! Using the portrait they are talking like the Advaitis and believer of Formless Brahm who is even unexpressionable and unthinkable, beyond any type of descriptions whom they are trying to describe.. Firstly, the God or the Guru whose photo they are using to advertise their beliefs among the devotees of Sri Sri Ramthakur, He Himself never ever advocated such ideas among the common average man or the common householder.. rather He wanted to become their family member & their family God.. Secondly if it is so important to spread among the people about the devotion of Nirakar Sadhana then why they are using the picture of Sri Satyanarayan??  Again it is showing Dwaitism!! One side u r saying it is free from subjectivity and the other side u urself are using his photo as a subject??? Why??? Isn’t it is contradictory??  And moreover, in Gita also Lord Sri Krishna recommended Sakar sadhana in comparison to Nirakar so as our holy Gurudev also reconfirmed it again and again which also nullify their argument that teachings given by an avatar in a certain Yuga may not be relevant in another Yuga or period just like Srimad Bhagvad Gita is even relevant today!! So many stories are there in the numerous books & biographies of the closest disciples of Gurudev about Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan, so many experiences are there narrated by them which is completely unknown to these followers of dadaji and actually they are not bothered also to know.. It is said that even to have such a urge to know about Him itself needs  good virtues of previous births..


Long time before the introduction of the portrait of Sri Satyanarayan, Sri Sri Thakur introduced to all his disciples the Holy portrait of Lord Sri Sri Kaivalyanathji which indirectly means the Lord Sri Sri Krishna Himself (Ref. Srimad Bhagvatham).. Kaivalyanath is one who gives Mukti or Salvation (Kaivalya) and only He none else is empowered to do so.. Not even their Dadaji… This is an eternal Truth.. While introducing this portrait, Guruji  always used to insist to devotees to not to ask for anything from Sri Kaivalyanath except mukti as desires are reasons of bondage of endless births and Sri Kaivalyanath on His own fulfils the requirement of His devotees if it is in their benefit.. but still the devotees doesn’t used to listen to this advice and would ask several things from Lord Sri Kaivalyanathji and then Guruji introduced the rituals  and practices for worshipping Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan which could be done in the portrait of Sri Kaivalyanathji itself.. among which there was like the offering of Shinni (a mixture of raw milk, bananas and semolina or rice powder) to be offered to the diety which is according to Gurudev is actually offering of one’s devotion and request for grant of boons or their desires to be fulfilled by Him.. Guruji had also written a small book of salutations which sings the glories of Lord Sri Satyanarayan in a poetic form (known as Sri Satyanarayan Panchali) and instructed all to read it before the diety while performing the puja with full devotion!! In that holy book Sri Satyanarayan is being referred to Sri Satya Pir!! Infact it starts wth the stanzas as Satya Satya Satya Pir Sarva Siddhi Data….here Satya Pir also refers to the devotees from the muslim community as our Gurudev was being worshipped by both the communities in undivided India those days!! Before all these there has been several incidents where our Guruji had already worshipped His own portrait of Sri Kaivalyanath for worshipping all sorts of Gods and Demigods .. like Shiva, Durga, Kali, Jagadhatri etc.. He even said that on his portrait of Sri Kaivalyanath 33 crores Demigods can be worshipped..as all of them have come from him only…the Lord Govinda.. so technically all the disciples of Guruji were already knowing this eternal truth that on the portrait of Lord Sri Sri Kaivalyanathji all the Gods and Demigods can be worshipped and so the worshipping of Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan was one of them…  that is why even today in all the Ashrams all over the world except the Kolkata Ashram at Jadavpur Sri Sri Satyanarayan is being worshipped on the portrait of Sri Sri Kaivalyanathji itself !! later one day the all merciful Sri Sri Thakur introduced this another portrait of Himself as Sri Satyanarayan and told everybody that since you all are habitual of asking various things from Sri Kaivalyanth so I have introduced this another portrait of Sri Satyanarayan.. He is one who will fulfil all your worldly desires of this material world..whether it is to be cured of incurable diseases, acute poverty, jobs, wealth or other desires..  

There have been numerous incidents where Sri Sri Ramthakur has indicated clearly the portrait of both Sri Kaivalyanath and Sri Satyanarayan are none but HIM AND ONLY AND ONLY HIM!! One of them I just remember when during the time of 2nd  World War one of his closest disciple Sri Tulsidas Gangulyji was asked by Him to perform the Satyanaryan Puja on the portrait of Sri Kaivalyanathji and after the puja was over Ganguly ji entered the room where Sri Sri Thakur was sitting with an intention of worshipping Sri Sri Ramthakur in PERSON as Sri Sri Satyanarayan with all the puja items as perfumed flowers, tulsi (basil leaves), sandalwood paste, lighted lamps etc.. He saw Gurudev was not moving, sitting still like a portrait and divine light was emanating from his divine body, the room was filled with divine fragrance.. when Gangulyji offered his respects with flowers and tulsi leaves at his holy feet .. Guruji said in a loud voice I AM ONLY SATYANARAYAN!! I AM ONLY SATYANARAYAN!! DON’T WORRY AT ALL!! EVEN IF HUNDREDS OF WEAPONS ARE HURLED AT YOU THEY CAN DO NO HARM TO YOU!!  Many times when devotees who are unaware where to offer the Tulsi leaves Gurudev immediately used to show His Holy feet and instructed them to offer there only..  A lady on her deathbed taking her last breath desired to have darshan of Sri Sri Ramthakur which Guruji fulfilled and stood near her and said in a loud voice OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THAT LORD SRI HARI (LORD SRI KRISHNA) IS HIMSELF STANDING HERE!! He said it 3 times.. the lady opened her eyes, saw Him and left her breath.. like this many many incidents have been recorded by the devotees from all over the globe… even after Sri Sri Thakur left His body this has been continuing what these followers can never ever understand or imagine with their brains of following the concept of Formless Brahm..At the Kolkata Ashram Jadavpur such an incident happened and coincidentally only this Ashram is worshipping this holy portrait of Sri Sri Satyanarayan which can be a befitting answer to the followers of Dadaji!! A close disciple of Sri Sri Thakur used to regularly visit the Ashram at Kolkata and like this one day when he reached the diety to offer his salutations chanting the Sri Naam given by Holy Gurudev Himself to this disciple, to his wonder he saw that the portrait of Sri Satynarayan is not there and in that place THE FOUR HANDED NARAYAN WITH CONCH SHELL, CHAKRA, LOTUS AND GADA IS STANDING THERE!!! Seeing this divine darshan he immediately prostated before the deity with full devotion and when he again got up he saw that holy figure has vanished and in that place he saw Sri Sri Ramthakur is Himself sitting there (here he mentioned exactly like a picture of Gurudev given in Vedvani, a holy book of teachings of Sri Sri Ramthakur), again he closed his eyes and offer his respects and when he opened his eyes he saw the original portrait of Sri Sri Satyanarayan!! He understood clearly that Gurudev wanted to convey Him that He is everything and He is only Sri Satyanarayan!! This very same devotee again another day in the evening during some utsav had visited the Ashram when the portrait of Sri Satyanarayan was being kept near the holy tree of Tulsi and devotees were singing harinam sankirtan.. when the kirtan was over everybody were paying their respects.. this disciple waited for his turn and when he prostrated before it to his astonishment he saw a 6 to 7 hooded big snake of green colour which had spread its hood on the top of the portrait of Sri Satyanarayan.. it happened within a fraction of seconds and then that snake mixed into the tulsi tree.. he didn’t told anybody this experience of him but later on he brought this in his book..

It is true that He is not any person but this is also true that He is Lord Himself… those who believe in formless devotion or advaitism are free to follow it but they can’t impose it on others under the disguise being a devotee of Sri Sri Ramthakur.. because if you are using His portrait of Sri Satyanarayan then you will have to follow His guidelines also not your Dadaji’s… Sri Ramkrishna used to say follow any path but then don’t say that only yours is correct!! when people from India themselves were not knowing properly about Him as He always liked to hide Himself, His mysterious powers or that He is God Himself..then it is quite obvious that people from western countries may not know Him but when some fools who know everything about Gurudev and are initiated also and taken Sri Naam, when they talk all these nonsense without realizing that this will confuse the common man who are ardent devotees of Guruji from generation to generation they are going against the instructions of Gurudev Himself.. When u can’t even follow the minimum instructions given by you Guru what Guru bhakti you have?? And when you don’t have Guru bhakti how can you claim to realize God through any of ur desired paths?? Mantra Moolam Gurum Vakyam..Does ur Guru have given any such kind of orders to u?? Ur minds are restless.. a wavering mind.. a pond’s ground under the water can be seen clearly if the water is still but if the water is always having continuous waves it can’t be seen.. here the ground denotes the God himself.. how can a restless mind achieve God?? Sometimes u r under the influence of sathya sai, some times dadaji.. today u r under his spell tomorrow u will be under somebody else's spell..  Ur all merciful Guru gave u the easiest way to realize peace, easiest way to attain God by following ur destiny, doing all ur duties, always remembering the mercy of Lord by chanting the Sri Naam!! But u have now found new God and new Guru and are busy in spreading his teachings..that is fine but why under the name of Sri Sri Ramthakur who never advocated these teachings!! Recently I came across a devotee who was worshipping Lord Sri Kaivalyanath since his childhood days and who by chance got to read the book Look Within and became totally confused... he was having sleepless nights and became mentally disturbed.. he contacted me somehow and clarified all his doubts and get rid of that book.. now he has regained his mental peace.. so this is what these followers of dadaji are doing either knowingly or unknowingly!! I can only pray to Lord Sri Satyanarayan to guide them and show them the correct path!! Jai Sri Satyanarayan!! Jai Ram!!

    The paradox of our pursuit of knowledge in scriptures lies in identifying ourselves with the personification – alas! not with the perennial propensities. It is our ignorance that makes division in divinity;
    Sight has no benefit in the absence of light. Unless we have light within, we are not capable to lead without.

  2. Dear Manish da…
    I am a devotee of Sri Sri Ram Thakur and so are most of my relatives from both my mother and father’s side , after my marriage of 1 yr my husband also believes in our Gurudev. Both my parents and myself feel that our Gurudev is our everything and we are not anything without His grace..He guides us , protects us and is there like our Almighty Father and even when we breathe each time its because of His grace, that whether we worship him in Sri Sri Kaivalyanath form or Sri Sri Narayan form HE is The Same , One and Only, this is our belief for years…HE has answred all prayers whenever we worshipped and prayed to him.In fact all our relatives have portraits of Sri Sri Kaivalyanath at our homes and worship Him in that form , offer our regular pujas even Shirni and pray to Him like all humans do also arrange for Naam Kirtans before Sri Sri Kaivalyanath. In fact while purchasing a portrait of Sri Sri Kaivalyanath my mom asked the gentle man at the Jadavpur Ashram counter if portraits of Sri Sri Satyanarayan and Sri Sri Kaivalyanath were same he too replied both were exactly Same and One…I visited ashrams where Sri Sri Kavalyanath is only worshipped in ever form and prayed to..however I read somewhere the following and is confused… Pointing towards the picture of Sri Sri Satyanarayan ,Sri Sri Thakur told Dr. Jatindra Mohan Dasgupta , Mr. Purna Ganguly and his spouse and few disciples present their that - "He is Satyapir- Satyanarayan. By offering Shirni (Holy-Custard made of rice flour, banana, sugar, honey etc.) one should offer prayers to Him expressing one's desire. One should not pray to Sri Kaivalyanath."
    But after reading your article I felt good and happy….Thank you…. Please suggest if I got the right concept from your blog…request you to….kindly do so….

    1. Dear Guru Sister, Jai Ram!! what u have understood & been following all ur life is perfect.. Remember always that we are very blessed soul to have Sri Sri Thakur as Guru and God!! Putrarthi re putra dey dhonarthi re dhon, doyarthi sodai sebe Shottero choron... this holy stanza is from Sri Satyanarayan Panchali.. since devotees were habitual of asking from Sri Kaivalyanathji, Sri Gurudev only started Sri Satyanarayan worship and Lord Sri Satyanarayan is very kind enough to fulfil the desires of his devotees also.. here I would like to request to you and to all the devotees of our Guruji to not to read any book just like that as it may distract ur mind very easily.. if at all u r fond of reading then read Sri Satyanarayan Panchali and always remember the Sri Naam bestowed by Him to all of us!! May Sri Guru bless u and ur family always!! Jai Guru!! Jai Ram!!
