A Big Thank to Maharaj of Dingamanik!!

 

 I am very happy and grateful to the Maharaj ji, Sri Dhurjoti Prosad Chakraborty mohashoy of Dingamanik Ashram, Bangladesh to support my views and to confirm my faith upon what has been said and told by Holy Gurudev Sri Sri Thakur about Mahatma Gandhi!! Friends, all of you must remember about a post being posted by me about Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his birthday last year when I had happened to counter somebody in the social networking site Facebook about Mahatma Gandhi..(those who are unaware of this may go to the old post about Mahatma Gandhi) I was very much sure of my belief and faith about our Father of Nation and what was being said by holy Guruji about him but still when I got an opportunity to know about the views of Moharaj ji of Dingamanik through a Guru brother residing there, I didn't missed that as those people who fought with me on this issue also claim to know him very well.. and now when I have known that Moharaj ji himself have also supported me, I felt as if Gurudev Himself had wanted me to convey this to me.. Devotion makes a man humble & modest (Trinadapi Sunichen, Tarorapi Sahisnuna, Amandenamanden, Kirtaniya Sada Hari Ref Chaitanya Charitamrita) respectful towards other Guru brothers and sisters but the way they behaved & the arrogance showed that the only thing they were carrying were the NAMEPLATE of their great grandfather not his teachings!! I remember here an incident which I had mentioned earlier also in one of my post as Sri Sri Thakur not even spared His own family people when they showed ahankar!!  In Guru Gita it has been said as MANTRA MOOLAM GURUM VAKYAM..& I also believe in that.. whatever my Gurudev has said that is full & final for me.. I will not listen to anybody else let whoever it may be.. for them their grandfather may be much more important than Sri Sri Ramthakur but for me Nobody means Nobody in this whole universe is important than my Holy Gurudev my Sadguru Sri Sri Ramthakurji!! It is like giving much more importance to the Moon & the stars than the Sun.. but when the night ends and Sun rises in the east that same Moon & those stars become invisible... & moreover, the light which is in the Moon is coming from the Sun only!! Here the Moon and the stars are those endless devotees & disciples of Sri Sri Thakur and the Sun is none other than our Holy Gurudev Sri Sri Ramthakur!!! All Glory to the Holy Naam and Sri Sri Thakur's Holy Feet!!! Jai Gopal!! Jai Govind!!! Jai Sri Ram!!!

The Actual Seva or Service Part II

This is in continuation of the earlier post… so friends...What seva they did??? Did they organized huge Mahotsavs or did they spent lot of money for organizing huge festivals of our holy Gurudev… or did they built huge palatial ashrams for him… no … nothing of these… the seva which they did were those tears of love which flow from their eyes for Him who was even unknown to them… but it is said that this eternal relationship between the God and the devotee is of many many births…the devotee may forget Him after coming to this material world but it is only the Almighty Lord who never ever forget his children… this coming up of Guruji’s portrait in their family photo was a great miracle… in this regard I remember a story where our Gurudev was once staying at a certain devotee’s home at Kolkata when Gurudev strictly restricted a photographer in taking His photo …obviously that photographer became a little sad at his heart and was sitting at the corner when the devotee noticed him and enquired about his sadness which he conveyed to him… the devotee went to Gurudev asked about it to which He said that this photographer wanted to take His photos for business purpose & to make money out of it…. the devotee told the photographer that it is true that till date nobody has been able to take Guruji’s photo without his permission.. but you don’t worry I would bring Him to your studio one day and then you can take some snaps of Him… this made the photographer happy and he left… after some days the devotee requested Gurudev for His permission to take some photo of Him at that studio which Guruji agreed…accordingly they went to the studio and the photographer very carefully took some nice snaps… from the next day onwards Guruji started enquiring from the devotee about the photos whether they have been developed or not… those days photo developing use to take some 4-5 days of time… again after few days Guruji in front of many other devotees enquired about His photos to which the other devotees became excited and started asking that devotee… he told that photo developing takes some time so they will have to wait for some more time… again after some days holy Guruji again asked the same question in front of other devotees… that devotee replied as yes I am going now itself to the studio for those photographs… when he reached the studio and equired about the photos he found that the photographer was feeling embarrassed & also a bit confused….he begged for sorry before the devotee and said that he is in this profession of photography for many years in this city of Kolkata and it is first time in his life that he took snaps but nothing came… all the films were empty as if there were no exposure on them… that devotee was himself a very good photographer and had good amount of knowledge about it.. those days photo developing used to involve good amount of procees in it… he requested the photographer to show him the plates which he found totally blank… subsequently, the devotee returned empty handed and when he reached Gurudev as usual in front of all again asked the same question… the devotee also jokingly replied yes Guruji very beautiful photographs have came… to which Guruji laughed and said then show it to all.. now here was the problem… the devotee had to accept the fact in front of all and narrated everything… Guruji said in Bengali ichche korileyi chobi tola jay na…(a photo can’t be taken by just wishing for it) and then suddenly became serious and said abar eo hoy je ichche na thakileo chobi othe..(and photo can also came up without one’s knowledge or wish)… obviously here he referred to the incident of this very Shresti couple of Gujarat…. 

There is so much to learn from this incident of this couple… nowadays we find that people are hungry for name and fame…. Everybody wants to become famous and wish that people should know about them and treat them as a bigshot… this problem is found even in the devotees or the so-called religious minded people… Guruji used to say about Protishta (fame)… that era protishta bishe bhuiga more bhogobot pod pay na…here he had also referred to the so-called devotees of the modern era as well as to those disciples who had by immense practice or sadhana have been able to earn some spiritual or extra ordinary powers but due to that they become highly proudy and fame hungry & it is because of this they die due to the poison of fame and like this they would be never ever able to reach the holy feet of almighty lord!!!! One can find various examples of people running after name and fame… but that couple.. nobody was able to know about them… they searched for Him years and then one day when they were at the last stage of their old age they found him at Kashi at the ganges ghat and fall at His holy feet and left the material world… Guruji also quietly did their last rites and left the place.. this story came out later on through their son who was staying with them and then only everybody came to know of this remarkable incident…this poison of fame drifts us away from the holy feet of Guruji… I found so many people fame hungry.. publishing stories of Guruji after copying them from the various original books of close disciples under their own names…why??? what will one gain by letting the world know about them… let you know about yourself first man… you visit the ashrams you can see the VIP treatments given by the ashram people to the families of President, Secretary, Treasurer etc.. and to the person also…. They will dominate everywhere … whether it is arti, getting the Prasad first, giving pushpanjali first everything.. all ashrams the same story.. then these next generation or the descedents of the disciples who took Sri Naam from Guruji Himself.. they would also not loose any opportunity to claim their family connection… the motive is only one treat us little differently or give priority to us before others… somebody’s grandfather/ grandmother was very very close disciple of Guruji or somebody even have a family connection with the family of Guruji Himself…. They are boasting everywhere… 

I remember here one incident where Gurudev had Himself barred His devotees to celebrate His Birth Festival (Jonmo Utshob) to be celebrated at His Birth place i.e. Dingamanik…(Ref. Shubhomoy Dutta mohashoy’s book) …every year it was being celebrated at the birth place only....but that very year Gurudev was adamant to be celebrated at Noakhali only … when requested that His own family people may feel bad to which Gurudev immediately said why?? I don’t see any reason for them to be felt bad??? They may celebrate the birth festival as usual but the Birth Festival being celebrated by the devotees from all over the undivided Bengal would only and only be celebrated at Noakhali only!!! after asking many times the reason behind the change of venue He revealed that last year there was lot of differentiation by His own family members in distribution of Mahaprasad!!! & where there is differentiation Mahoutshav can’t be held!! This thing I have seen at all the ashrams nowadays happening and they claim they are doing Mahoutsav!! What a pity…. Guruji had always insisted for same treatment for each n everybody whether rich or poor… from that year onwards Birth Festival was started being celebrated at Noakhali under the guidance of Subhomnoy Dutto mohashoy… I don’t know how many of you know about this incident…. If you don't know then know it...try to understand it... tell other devotees of our Guruji staying near you...I have stopped visiting the ashrams since long time back… He is in my heart… I have my own very small Sri Sri Kaivalyadham at my home…. And I feel His presence more rather than at the ashrams… I hope that you all would have understood the gist of the post which I had wanted to convey to you all…  rest later… always be in submission at His holy lotus feet!! May the Holy Gurudev showers His Holy Blessings on all of us!!! Jai Ram!!

The Actual Seva or Service

Friends, Its been a long time I wrote anything here... few days back I was pondering over the various ways through which crores of disciples of our Guruji serve Him all around the universe..some decorate His holy portrait with beautiful flowers, sandalwood pastes, beautiful dhotis, angavastrams.. some offer cotton and some give silk dhotis etc. the wealthy devotees decorate Him even with golden ornaments like crowns or necklaces etc. or they would made gorgeous or big Altars (Sinhasans) for Guruji...some other devotees offer various types of cooked delicacies...different types of dishes and sweets etc. But is it all??? Is this what actually our Holy Gurudev crave for???? Is this the way through one can please Him??? 

Do you all know about a Gujarati Couple named as the Shresti Couple??? If not... then please find out and read it... you all would be stunned the Seva or Service they did... Just think what they did that the Lord of unlimited universe did their last rites with His own pious hands and granted them salvation!!!! You will find their story in the preface of Vedavani Part II written by Shri Indubhushan Banerjee mohashoy... shall I tell?? or you all know about it... you know what they did??? their story is just miraculous!! This couple was one of the richest and wealthiest family in Gujarat... they were having sons, daughters and their children etc. Once there was some family function in their house and it was at that time when a photographer was called to their house to take some memorable snaps of the moment... accordingly the photographer took snaps and when the photos were developed to their astonishment they found that in one of the photos where only the couple had taken a photo there was an unknown person standing at their back!!!  But when the photo was taken that person was not present there... then who is He???? they all become confused!!!! but the couple became restless to find out about the whereabouts of this person... simultaneously they started their search but without any success... now slowly they started feeling attracted to the portrait of that unknown figure and daily they used to stare at Him for hours... days, months & years rolled on but they couldn't find Him... now the couple lost all their interest in their material life and subsequently gave all their wealth among their children equally and left their home leaving behind their crying family members...now their only aim in their life was left to search for that attractive holy figure who had captured their inner self, mind & everything!! they would stare at His Holy portrait the whole day without doing anything with tears of love rolling down their eyes... I hope by now you all would have understood that who that unknown holy figure was which was none other than our Gurudev!!! subsequently they had become very very old and then one day they saw our Guruji at the Dashashvamedh Ghat at Varanasi...they couldn't walk properly... immediately both of them prostrated at the Holy Lotus Feet of Gurudev and didn't got up from there... they left their bodies in that state itself... everything happened peacefully without any knowledge to others... Guruji also quietly did their last rites and left the place... Now here can you tell what Seva they did???? If you understood, please do tell me... rest later... always remember the Naam!! Jai Ram!!!   

Sri Sri Thakur – Our All Caring Lord

The place was somewhere at Kolkata where our beloved Guruji was staying at the home of a devotee whom He had promised earlier. Haridas Acharya, one of the very close disciple of Guruji was searching about the whereabouts of Him for a very long time but without any result as Guruji’s stay was always for a short time at a particular place. Then one day, success reached him and he got an address from a devotee where our Lord was staying and he immediately set for his journey for that house to see Gurudev!!  That place quite a far from his place and when he reached that house he heard Sri Sri Thakur’s voice from outside and his heart jumped with joy. He knocked at the door and a mid-aged, fat man came out and asked yes, whom do you need?? Acharyaji asked whether Sri Sri Thakur is staying here to which that man replied yes, He is here!! Acharyaji then requested as can I have His darshan?? That fellow said bluntly No!! Sri Sri Thakur has ordered that nobody can meet him, so you cannot see Him!! Acharyaji very humbly begged that I am searching for Him for quite long time and coming from very far, I will just see him from the door, pay my respects and leave. I will not bother Him with any conversations!! This enraged that man very much and he said as what kind of person you are Mr.??? How can I break the order of Sri Sri Thakur for you??? And he closed the main door of the house with a loud noise on the face of Acharyaji!!!  This made Acharyaji to feel dejected at his heart so much that tears came out of his eyes and he paid his respects to Guruji from outside and started walking on the street. Suddenly, he felt as if a voice similar to Sri Sri Thakur was calling him from backside and when he turned to his astonishment he saw that Gurudev was Himself standing there in front of him!!! Acharyaji immediately fell on the holy lotus feet of Sri Sri Thakur on the street itself and Guruji also blessed him. Guruji took him to a nearby park and both of them sat on a bench. Acharyaji asked that is it true Guruji that you have ordered as not to meet anybody?? Guruji smiled & replied that do you think it is possible?? How can I say no to my devotees who are coming from very far off places to meet me?? Acharyaji said but then the houseowner of that house said that it is your instructions!! Sri Sri Thakur again smiled and said I know that my how many instructions are being followed by these so-called devotees!! When you had approached that house at that time my room was filled with all the friends and relatives of that houseowner and thus it was them who were deciding whom to allow in and whom not!!!  A fellow selling roasted ground-nuts was passing  them when suddenly Guruji asked Acharyaji to purchase some roasted groundnuts of 2 paise!! Acharyaji who didn’t like eating anything from outside became little bit surprised as Sri Sri Thakur’s apetite was also known to him very well, then suddenly what happened?? Whatever it is he purchased some roasted groundnuts as per His orders and Sri Sri Thakur dvided those nuts equally start eating them & also requested Acharyaji to eat. Acharyaji said he don’t want to eat and also didn’t lke eating anything from outside. At this Guruji said that why, these nut sellers have also families who depend on them for their livelihood, he also have to pay their house rent etc. if people like you not think about them then who will?? At this Acharyaji replied that instead of purchasing those nuts one can also give or donate some money to them as charity to which Sri Sri Thakur reactly strongly as why?? Maligning anybody’s dignity is a great offence!! That nut seller may be a poor man but he is not beggar, you should respect that, due to his prarbdha he is poor but for that he is not begging before you for money!! Acharyaji understood his mistake and asked to forgive him. He also wondered that how caring is our Guruji who is caring for even a nut-seller!! Evening was slowly going towards dark when Sri Sri Thakur suddenly asked Acharyaji to go back to his place and cautioned to not to run here and there searching for Guruji as He is present at his home in the portrait itself and narrated that few days back the food was too hot to eat through which Acharyaji understood very well that Sri Sri Thakur’s portrait is not just glass, paper and frame of wood, infact if one has pure devotion & faith Sri Sri Thakur is present there itself!! Acharyaji asked Guruji as where He will go now to which Sri Sri Thakur smiled and said to that same very house where the door was closed at his face!!! Astonished Acharyaji asked why are you going there again??? Smilingly Gurudev replied because I had promised them earlier that I will stay at their house for 7 days and 2 more days are left!! Haridas Acharyaji could not utter anything and kept on staring at Gurudev!!! Guruji blessed him and left!! Jai Ram!! Jai Anantkoti Brahmand nayak, Rajadhiraj, Yogiraj, Sad Guru Sri Sri Ramchandra Dev Maharaj ki Jai!!!

Wordly Desires Brings Troubles

Today we will discuss as to how our worldly desires are the root cause of all our wordly troubles in our lives!! The place is at Kolkata at the house of a very close disciple of Sri Sri Thakur, Sri Motilal Banerjee mohashoy.  Sri Sri Thakur who was staying there had once ordered Banerjee mohashoy to invite the disciples such as S/Sri Indubhushan Banerjee, Prabhat Chandra Chakraborty etc. for an afternoon feast on a Sunday noon and accordingly Gurudev asked Banerjee mohashoy to bring 3 to 4 types of fish and some mutton and sweet-curd etc. for them. Accordingly, Banerjee babu brought them from the market early Sunday morning & left for his shop (he was the owner of a garment shop known as Satyanarayan Bastralaya at Kolkata). Banerjee mohashoy’s wife now started to cook all the delicacies and the first thing she prepared was the mutton. When she finished cooking the dish, it looked to be so attractive and smelling so good that suddently she had a deep desire in her mind that how good it would have been had Sri Sri Thakur tastes and eats some mutton!!!!! & immediately she felt embarrassed & subsequently guilty on her thinking as Gurudev was very well known about His food & apetite among all the devotees!! She again resumed the work of cooking the other dishes when suddenly Guruji appeared there in the kitchen and enquired about the progess of cooking and asked her to show the dish of mutton!! She very happily brought before Gurudev the bowl of the dish and then suddenly Gurudev asked her to give him 2 pieces of mutton in a small bowl!!! Moti babu’s wife felt very happy on hearing this order of Sri Sri Thakur and became astonished also on completion of her desire all of a sudden!! Guruji ate those 2 pieces and while going to the washroom remarked that this dish should NOT BE GIVEN TO ANYBODY as it is not eatable and throw away the dish immediately!!!  Hearing this Moti babu’s wife dumb struck and utterly shocked for a few minutes!!!! Such a beautiful preparation and smelling delicious had to be thrown!!! But what to do??? Suddenly the guests started coming as also Moti babu followed them from behind and he immediately came to the kitchen to see the progress of cooking. Moti babu’s wife narrated the whole incident and hearing this Moti babu became furious and scolded her to have a desire like this!!! Whatever it is, since the guests had already arrived, they immediately made arrangements for their meal and became busy with them and Moti babu’s wife subsequently forgot to throw away the dish of mutton!! After a while, Moti babu’s wife went to the kitchen for some work and cried out of fear in a low note as there was lying a dead cat near to the bowl of mutton with a piece of half-eaten mutton lying near it!!! She understood very clearly the reason behind Sri Sri Thakur’s caution to not to serve the dish to anybody as it had become highly poisonous!! She immediately called Moti babu and upon seeing the dead cat he fall on the ground from standing and started lamenting on his wife as she isn’t realizing how much damage she has caused due to her one desire!!! Whatever it is the dish of mutton was immediately thrown as also the dead cat!! The guests were still there in the house and Moti babu’s wife became restless as Gurudev had also ate some of those mutton!!! They waited impatiently for the guests to leave who subsequently left only at night 9.00 pm!! After the departure of guests Moti babu’s wife fall at the lotus feet of Gurudev and started crying profusely!! Guruji consoled her and assured her that nothing will happen to Him except some minor physical problem. After a while, Guruji started visiting the toilet quite frequently and on seeing this Moti babu became restless and decided to go for fetching a doctor but Sri Sri Thakur barred him from going out in the night to call the doctor and even told him that if Moti babu now went out in the night Guruji woud immediately leave their house!!  Moti babu and his wife had no option left except to watch Guruji helplessly!! Gurudev asked the couple to go to sleep many times but they didn’t slept and sat together alongwith Sri Sri Thakur. Gurudev kept on visiting the toilet till 3 am early in the morning and after that he told them that now there is no more poison left inside His body!!! Very soon it became morning and an employee of the shop of Moti babu visited their home to enquire about his master. On seeing him Sri Sri Thakur asked the employee to bring some fresh cooked breakfast from a shop for the couple as they hadn’t ate anything the previous day!!  After having breakfast and getting assurance from Gurudev about His health Moti babu left for his shop. Moti babu’s wife again fall at the holy feet of Sri Sri Thakur crying profusely and begged for forgiveness for her worldly desire!! Guruji said can you see now mother… just a small worldy desire brought so much of troubles, neither could you ate nor sleep!!! Please don’t have any worldly desires & try to avoid them as they are the root cause for all types of problems and tie you in various bonds and are also responsible for endless births!!  
Many of you may think that why the mutton became poisonous and it was just a simple infact very simple one desire..then why????
Actually this incident of mutton was nothing but a divine leela of our holy Gurudev and it became just a medium to make them understand the dangers or negative results one suffers due to keeping worldly desires..as it is a well known fact that desires only attract us to take various endless birth in this world and thus one cannot get rid from the continuous cycle of birth and death!!! Actually Sri Sri Thakur who is our Sadguru is an ocean of mercy and who is always eager to help us to get rid of this materialistic world and for this purpose He very often used to guide his close disciples/devotees through these various types of divine leelas..
See you all at the next post!! Jai Ram!!!

Joy Maa Kali!! Joy Sri Ram!!

 

What a beautiful day today it is!! The day is Tuesday and it reminds me of my Holy Mother Kali!! Kali Kali Jop Kore Mor, Moner Kali Jabe Dhuye!! Our Holy Gurudev was none other than Goddess Kali and infact He is everything!! Kali Puja is arriving very soon, after Durga and Lakshmi Puja now it is time of worshipping the Kali form of Mother in this Matri-Paksha!! I wish you all A Happy Kali Puja in advance!!

The instructions and advises given by holy Gurudev were always of very great importance and meaning.   For example, once He said to one of His disciples during a conversation as Bhujte Chaiyai to Amare Haraiyachen!!!! Just a small and one line sentence but what a deep indepth meaning it has!! It means whenever you are trying to understand or analyse anything with your knowledge or brain you are losing me immediately thus it is better to be always ignorant as then only you will be in total submission or in saranagati to me!!! Further, again He told that suppose you leave your home to reach Kalighat at Kolkata and in the midway you stopped to see some monuments or some plays/games etc. and subsequently forgot to reach your destination and lost it. But if you brought a railway ticket and board the train to reach your destination you will surely reach it, sometimes it may delay but it is sure that you will reach your destination!!! Similarly if you are in submission to the holy lotus feet of Gurudev and stick to your belief firmly, it is sure that you will reach or attain your salvation at His holy feet!! All this was told to one of His close disciple Sri Tulsidas Ganguly as he was in habit of reading the autobiographies & teachings of various Saints and Mahapurushas and thus was always in a confusion which one to follow!! It was during this time Doyal Gurudev Sri Sri Ramthakur said that too much reading of books brings lots of doubts and confusions and it is better to follow only one as Ek Dhorle Shob Pay, Shob Dhorle Shob Jay!!! Also Sri Sri Thakur said as Gronthe Gronthe Gronthi Bare (here Gronthe means books and Gronthi means knots) meaning of which has already been told aforesaid!! In Sri Guru Gita it is said as Dhyan Moolam Guru Murti, Pooja Moolam Gurum Padam, Mantra Moolam Gurum Vakyam, Moksha Moolam Guru Kripa!! Jai Ram!!

Typical Disciples

Place was Dhaka at Bangladesh where Sri Sri Thakur was staying at the home of a certain disciple. The room where He was sitting was having some 7 to 8 devotees including the houseowner himself who were sitting on the floor on a floor mat when suddenly one of them took out a packet of playing cards and subsequently all of them started playing cards in front of Guruji Himself quite shamelessly which also included shouting on each other, using abusive language etc. There was also a young disciple among them who was not playing the game and was not at all liking all these developments going on there. Suddenly, torrential rain started all of a sudden outside (Bangladesh is very famous for its torrential and high amount of rain all along throughout the year). During the game of cards one of them shouted as we must have some snacks as some puffed rice and fried items from some outside the nearby shop to enjoy this game fully!! But the question is who will go and fetch those fried snacks from  outside as at that moment there was half knee deep water everywhere!! That young devotee fearing since he is younger among all here, he may asked to fetch those fried snacks from outside, immediately closed his eyes and started pretending to be in a meditative state!! After sometime again one of them shouted as we must have some fried items to enjoy the game!! Nobody noticed when our beloved Holy Gurudev left the room in the torrential rain with a half-broken umbrella which can only protect the head to fetch those eatable items for them!! After sometime Sri Sri Thakur put before them puffed rice along with fried snacks items and they all happily started enjoying those things!! Nobody noticed that Guruji was fully drenched in water, He wiped & cleaned Himself on His own and those so-called devotees ate those items shamelessly without any notice towards Guruji!! The rain continued and also the game and the game only stopped after there was a call from inside the house for lunch. They all ran inside and after having their sumptuous lunch when they again came back munching their mouths with paans (beetel leafs), with an intention to start again the game of cards, the houseowner suddenly inquired from Gurudev who gave the money for the snacks to which Sri Sri Thakur replied that nobody paid it and He bought them through credit by telling the shopkeeper about the name of the houseowner!! That fellow then took out some money from his pocket and gave it to Gurudev and Guruji again took that half-broken umbrella in the heavy rain and returned with the balance money after the paying the price and gave it to the housowner who was playing the same game of cards shamelessly took them!!! He or the other so-called disciples didn’t noticed at all that again Guruji has been drenched fully in the heavy pouring rain!!!! Now, these people are also devotees or disciples??? What to say!!! Least they could understand or know that who is serving them!!! The Lord of all the unlimit universe, the Tribhuvanpati Himself is serving them & they were surely unaware of this!! What a pity!!! At some place I had read that a relative of Sri Sri Thakur who had earlier written a letter to Gurudev & when he  happened to meet Him, Sri Sri Thakur asked that why did he cut the last concluding note in his letter to which that relative replied as it is a well-known practice to write as “Sincerely in your service” but I had to cut that line since I don’t think we are actually doing any true service to you, on the contrary You are doing a lot for us so I had to cut those lines!!!! See you all at the next post!! Always be in submission to the holy lotus feet of our beloved Lord Sri Sri Ram Thakur Dev!!! Chant or remember the Sri Naam always!! Jai Ram!!

Sri Sri Thakur about Mahatma Gandhi

Today is 2nd October, the birthday of that great freedom fighter of India who is also the Father of this Nation & whose sacrifices given for the freedom of India requires no introduction!! “Mahatma” the title which was conferred upon him by none other than the great poet and the first Nobel Prize lauterate Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore was infact truly implies on Gandhiji or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Bapu or the Mahatma!!!

Why on earth today I sat to write about this legendary personality was because in the past few days back certain incident happened in facebook which has shook me and my beliefs about the present day so-called devotees of Sri Sri Thakur from deep inside and which has forced me to think about the very basic criteria required to be a true disciple of our Gurudev Sri Sri Ramthakur and which has been described in Sri Guru Gita (which has been recommended by Guruji manytimes) as Mantra Moolam Gurum Vakyam (means the instructions or words spoken by the Holy Master or Guru is the basis of all Mantras)!!! The shlok is Dhyan Moolam Guru Murti means for meditation the form of Holy Master is the basis, Pooja Moolam Gurum Padam means for worshipping the holy feet of holy Master is the basis, Mantra Moolam Gurum Vakyam has been told aforesaid and Moksha Moolam Guru Kripa means for salvation the mercy of holy master is the basis!!! Now friends the question arise are we or the so-called self-acclaimed devotees or say the devotees who are always boasting about their devotions are following these instructions fully???? In my opinion, I don’t think so!! Whatever instructions have been given by our holy Master is not being followed properly and when in trouble would quite occassionly blame Him for all their problems!!!

Now coming to Mahatma Gandhi.. It has been found in many books of various devotees that while Gandhiji was being assassinated at New Delhi, Sri Sri Thakur on that very same day and same moment suddenly said as Gandhi Choila Gelen.. Gandhir Aar Jonmo Hoibo Na.. means Gandhi has left this mortal world and he would not take any more births!! Now the question arises that there were many other great and selfless freedom fighters fighting for the motherland at that moment who were being killed by the britishers very often but Gurudev why only talked about Gandhiji??? Why only him??? And not only talked about him also informed that he will not take anymore births!!! That means he has got salvation!!! At another place it has been found as Sri Sri Thakur while mentioning about Gandhiji has said as Gandhi to Poddo-Gandhi!!! Means Gandhi is just like a flower of lotus being in the mud of dirt is untouched by the dirt of this materialistic world!! But few days back I countered a female devotee who is dead against Gandhiji and hate him very much!! This devotee had earlier posted many controversial posts about the Mahatma which is nowadays very much being propagated in various internet sites by some negative minded people and after somedays shared a post of our Gurudev alongwith a writeup where there was a mention of Sri Sri Thakur’s words about Gandhiji!! I immediately countered her that this is contradictory to her earlier posts!!! This made her furious and she told me that she belong to the family of a very close devotee of Sri Sri Thakur who has been initiated by our Gurudev himself and who is her great grandfather and it was him only who has told her mother about various ill and misdeeds done by Gandhiji!! I told her that during my earlier days I was also very much confused about Gandhiji but the day I read what my holy Gurudev had told about him all my confusions have gone immediately and my perception & inner feeling for Gandhiji has become very very crystal clear!! We have very limited brain but our holy master knows everything and so I rely only & only upon Him for everything!! And moreover no devotee should indulge in finding faults of others as told by Guruji Na Loibe Karo Dosh Na Koribe Rosh Aponi Hoibe Shabdhan but that made her more furious and I understood very clearly that there is no point in arguing with this highly egoistic so-called devotee!!! this is what I experienced & I fear many of the young generation devotees must be having negative feelings about this great saint but I would suggest them all to remember the words spoken by our holy Gurudev about him!!! Rest I leave all up to you!!! Jai Ram!!! 

Raghupati Raghav Rajaram, Patita Pavan Sitaram!!!

Ishwar Allah Tere Naam, Sabko Sanmati De Bhagvan!!!! (For those who think ill about this great Mahatma who took birth in this country)  

Arrogance in Descendants of Old Disciples

It has been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog about our holy Gurudev.  Friends for the past few days I had some bitter experience on a social network called Facebook. This similar type of experiences I had earlier also though personally in my normal daily life.  Sri Sri Thakur had many disciples whom He had Himself bestowed with Sri Naam and who were actually very much devoted to Gurudev’s holy feet all their whole life. Now after so many years had passed those holy souls have departed and the time is the modern era of 2013 and if somebody goes and meet the descendents of those families like their grandsons or grand-daughters one will be greeted with arrogant behavior and more importantly high amount of proudness!!! In the past I had one such opportunity to meet a particular family at Kolkata. The person who took me there was an elder fellow and devotee of Sri Sri Thakur and he requested me to visit there to meet the old fellow who had taken Sri Naam from Guruji Himself. When we reached there the old man was not there and instead we interacted with the family and was shocked to see their high level of proudness. They even went to the extent of telling that it is their wish that their grandfather should now start distributing Sri Naam like the Mohant Moharajas and while their conversation I found at one point that they were even showing disrespect to our Gurudev as if they are even great than Him!!!! Similarly, recently I again had an opportunity to encounter a girl on facebook who was on my friendlist earlier and it was unknown to me that she was also suffering from the same problem as she was also belonging to a very close disciple of our Gurudev who had taken Sri Naam from Him personally and this was also unknown to me!! There was a confusion where I found that her posts are contradictory as it involved the declarations given by our Holy Gurudev so I tried to correct her immediately which angered her and it was then she started citing her family background as if I am nothing in front of her!!!! I asked her to calm down as I also know many families who had taken Sri Naam from Gurudev to that she became more angry and started arguing. I found her higly egoistic and proudy and thought it would be useless to argue with her anymore and deleted all my comments and unfriend her!! Now what is this?? What has happened to the mindset of these families??? Are they following the footsteps of their Grandparents who had taken Sri Naam from Sri Sri Thakur??? These fellows have forgotten the basic criteria to be devotees of Lord is to leave proudness, to be humble at heart, love God and believe in His teachings whole heartedly!! Sri Chaintanya Mahaprabhu had also said Trinadapi Sunichen means to be humble even more than a tiny grass, Tarorapi Sahishnuna to bear the destiny like a tree who bears all the seasons on its body whole year Manena Amanden to be stable both in respect or disrespect and Kirtaniya Sada Hari always chant the holy name of Lord Sri Hari!!! Are they following all these??? I don’t think so. They should instead become an example for the society to teach all how to do devotion instead of boasting of their family background in front of all!! I told her that each and  every soul would have to do sadhana on its own to attain salvation and no family name plate would help anybody to reach it without proper devotion but that angered here severely and I had no option left but to unfriend her!! In ashrams also this same problem is existing. The families of the President, Treasurer, Secretary of various ashrams are having the same problem!! If the Mohant Maharaj stays at the home of a particular family then you can very well understand the mindset of that family!!! I tell you that I am working at a senior position in a government office through which I can arrange darshans or accommodations of various famous pilgrimage places whether it is tirupati, shirdi or vaishno devi etc. sitting at my home and can get the best treatments, all my office collegues uses this facility but I had never ever used such things as I believe that one should go before the Lord depending only and only on Him rather than on one’s own connections!! Guruji also always used to insist as to be Akarta instead of having Kortitto!! See you all at the next post!! Jai Ram!!

Sri Sri Thakur is Lord Himself - A Truth

 How many people actually knows the truth who our Gurudev is?? They are just keeping His holy portrait at their puja altar without understanding exactly the divineness, His greatness or the unlimited power of our holy Gurudev!! Otherwise why they are always complaining about their lives, why they are always restless and running to various pilgrimages in search of mental peacefulness??  One side they would claim about their devotion or belief for our Gurudev and then other side they would not believe in the holy instructions or words of Him (Mantra Moolam Gurum Vakyam) and would visit various temples or religious places or various other deities or even local babas or gurus to attain mental peace or to get rid of their problems!!!  I remember some incidents where quite occasionally the greatness of our Guruji would come out!! Once it so happened that Gurudev was residing at the house of a devotee at Bangladesh during World War II where there was a routine practice of playing siren by the Govt. during an air attack by the enemy forces and there were also bunkers made by the each house-owner or govt. for hiding of people to save themselves from the bombs or missiles fired by the aircrafts of the enemies.  It was during such time that suddenly there was siren being played and everybody started running to hide into the bunkers, the house owner after sending each one of his family members into the bunker went to Guruji and requested Him also to go to the bunker to which Guruji replied with a very strong & dominating voice as This siren is for you all not for me!! The Vajra (referred to the bomb) which can fell on my head has not been made till now!!! After that fellow could not utter anything!! From this incident can anyone understand as who can say this until & unless He is none other than the Almighty Lord Himself!!  From here I would now take you all to Puri Dham where many times our holy Gurudev have placed his holy feet. Guruji never used to visit the Jagannath Temple at Puri and even if at all He went to give company to the devotees He had never ever entered the temple which was always a great mystery for many of His close disciples!! Instead He would wait for them at the Singhadwar of the Jagannath Temple and it was during such time that a devotee who had went inside the temple to offer his puja to the deity, when he came out of the temple he saw a very strange thing!!! He noticed that a very very old mother who was carrying all items of doing puja for the deity along with a thali of arti was doing arti of our Holy Gurudev and Guruji was also standing motionless as if He is none other the Lord Jagannath himself and accepting her offerings!!! That old lady was doing arti with full devotion with tears in her eyes as if she has seen something in Him and from his incident I remember a similar incident from the life of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu where a devadasi of the Jagannath temple became His devotee and the Lord also bestowed His mercy upon her and showed her in secret as who He was actually and seeing this the devadasi prostrated before Him with full devotion whereas there was a very strict rule that the devadasi would never ever prostrate before anybody except the Lord Jagannath Himself!!! Our Guruji was none other than the Lord Sri Chaitanya Himself which is a known fact among all His devotees!! Similarly at some other pilgrimage place most probably Sri Vaidyanath Dham of Lord Shiva also an incident took place!! Guruji was accompanying a family and after checking into a lodge the couple decided to visit the temple and asked Gurudev quite reluctantly whether He would also like to visit (actually they wanted Him to stay at the lodge to keep guard of their luggage, and may be that was the main reason to bring Him along with them, how pity!!)  Sri Sri Thakur who is antaryami, sensing their inner feeling replied in negative and asked them to visit the temple!! They happily kept their luggage below his bed and while going even asked a young boy of that lodge at the main entrance to keep an eye on our Gurudev so that He doesn’t goes out anywhere!! When the couple reached the temple and approached the deity, to their utter astonishment they found that Sri Sri Thakur alongwith some other devotees was circulating (doing pradakshina) of the Shiva Ling!! The couples said that see this is the height when we asked Him to come along with us, He didn’t agreed and now He has came here leaving all our valuables at the mercy of the lodge people!! Fuming inside the couple hurriedly offered their puja and returned to the lodge as soon as possible and found Sri Sri Thakur as usual sitting on His bed!! The couple started shouting on Gurudev as to why did He first did not agreed to go with them and then went to the temple and kept on saying many things as how Gurudev can have any care for money since He is not a grihasta and thus He doesn’t have any attachment for it etc. etc.!! Suddenly Sri Sri Thakur spoke and said Had I not went there what you people would have seen?? Listening this just one line sentence made them totally dumb struck for a few minutes and afterwards they realised their fault!!! They had went to see the Lord Vaidyanath or the Lord Shiva and thus Sri Sri Thakur who is none other than the almighty Lord went there to give them darshan!! They fall at His holy feet and begged for forgiveness!! Later on when they asked that young boy that did you saw the Burababu ever leaving the lodge to which the boy replied that he was sitting at the gate and didn’t went anywhere and he didn’t saw the Burababu or our Gurudev going out of the lodge to anywhere!!!  Friends, we all are very very very lucky to have Tribhuvanpati, the Lord of unlimited universe Himself as our Guru who is the Jagatguru also!!  

Mannāthah Srījagannātho, Madgurustri Jagadguruh, Mamātmā Sarva-bhūtātmā Tasmai Srīgurave Namah.

Salutations to Shri Guru. My Lord is the Lord of the universe. My Guru is the Guru of the three worlds. My Self is the Self of all beings.    

Jai Sri Ram!!

Sri Sri Thakur was Lord Himself

Lord Sri Sri Kaivalyanathji

There has been many incidents when it became evident that Sri Sri Thakur was none other than the Supreme Lord Himself!!! This was first proved by Him when He Himself worshipped His very own portrait in front of all His devotees and instructed everybody that all the dieties of this universe can be worshipped in His portrait of Sri Sri Kaivalyanath (Kaivalyanath refers to Lord Sri Krishna Himself as confirmed in Srimad Bhagvatham) and Sri Sri Satyanarayan!! Once when asked to give permission to write about His biography or life sketch he remarked that when there is no actual life of Him then where is the question to write about his biography?? And after that He even remarked that He is the same from the days of Vrindavan!!! & through this He referred to none other than the Lord Sri Krishna Himself!!! Once while fulfulling the desire of a dying lady, He stood near her head said that Look above and see that the Lord Sri Hari Himself is standing here!!! Apart from this manyatimes he revealed to His very close disciples in secret that He is none other Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Himself which was not to be revealed in public and those disciples were under oath to keep the secret!!!  Once while at Puri, when everybody were going to have darshan of Lord Sri Jagannath, Sri Phanindra Malakar Mohashoy who never used to leave Sri Sri Thakur, it was at that moment when one of the devotees asked him to accompany them to see Lord Sri Jagannathdev!! At this Sri Sri Thakur said that you all go and have darshan of Lord Jagannath, Phanindra babu doesn’t need to go as his Jagannath is always with him!!! Rohini babu also wrote in his book that once while staying at Muzzafarpur, Sri Sri Thakur who used to leave the house early morning and would return late at afternoon, Rohini babu would very often found that Sri Sri Thakur’s feet were used to be smeared with chandan, perfumed oil & many other things which are being used in worshipping dieties and sometimes they were also found on His head!! When asked about them He as usual tried to dodge their questions but after insisting He told that while going through a place He found some people who were waiting for Him and they said that previous night they had dreams that God himself would be visiting them to accept their offerings and hence they are waiting for Him and after that they made Guruji sit and worshipped Him with full devotion like God!! Rohini babu also narrated about an incident which used to happen daily evening when they used to do arti of our Guruji immediately at that very moment all the nearby temples would also start doing arti of their respective dieties and subsequently the bells of those temples would also start to ring!! Phanindra Malakar Mohashoy had the privilege of having darshan of our Guruji as Maa Kali as also Upendra Saha saw Him as Lord Satyanarayan!! Like this there were many instances when it became very much evident that the Lord of Unlimited Universe had came in between us for the upliftment of all downtrodden people irrespective of their caste, colour, creed or religion. Jai Ram!!

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!!

The Result of Attachment

Today I would tell you about an incident which shows what happens due to attachment to the world!! This was narrated by Sri Sadananda Chakraborty mohashoy who had happened to visit a place somewhere in Assam where the nature had bestowed all its beauty. But when he visited that place he came to know of certain very supernatural things told by the locals there which was very alarming!! The locals told that they are scared to go to that place after the dusk or some time even in the day time also as many ghosts of some vaishnavs are being seen as roaming there!!! Sadananda babu did not believe all those stories and decided to spend some days there and while staying he also actually saw them and became a bit scared!!! He thought deeply on this and decided to ask our holy Gurudev about this and wrote a letter to him!! After some days he received a reply from our Guruji that He Himself is going to visit that place along with some other devotees and accordingly arrangements were being made for His visit. Sadananda babu  quite obviously became very much excited after coming to know of Guruji’s visit and was also very anxious to know about the ghosts of the vaishvas being roaming there!! The days became very difficult for him to pass and then one fine day Sri Sri Thakur reached there along with other devotees!! Sadanada babu welcomed Him and after paying respects asked Him about the ghosts!! Sri Sri Thakur smiled and started saying that long time ago Sri Advaitaacharya who was the closest disciple of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and who was also known as the avatar of Maha Vishnu and one out of the Panch Tatvas (Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Nityananda Prabhu, Sri Advaita acharya, Sri Gadadhara, Sri Sribas Acharya)  had a daughter named as Smt. Hemlini Devi. Now this Hemlini Devi who was also a great Vaishnavite just like her great father had many vaishnav disciples!! Once day she alongwith all her disciples happened to came to this beautiful place and spend some days here!! After a month or so when she decided to leave that place most of her disciples requested not to leave the place as it is very beautiful filled with utmost natural beauty. Smt. Hemlini Devi became astonished at this and warned them that sanyasis should not be attached with any worldly matters and should have a detached sense but they didn’t agreed to this!! She felt sorry for them and blessed them and subsequently left that place! Time went with days and months and years and those vaishnavs could not leave that place as they were under the spell of it. Slowly one by one vaishnavs died by their own karmic timings but even after dying they could not leave and hence became ghosts due to their attachment with the place and for years they are roaming here like this!! Sri Sri Thakur now asked everyone to organise an utsav and sri naam sankirtan for the salvation of those ill fated souls and accordingly everything was arranged!! The naam sankirtan started, Sadananda babu who himself was a good kirtaniya also took part but after some time he felt that the naam sankirtan is not picking that pace it should take!! He was feeling little tired and since it was late night also he thought to take little nap while others were continuing the kirtan. Very soon he went into deep sleep when suddenly he felt as someone was shaking to woke him up from the sleep. First he thought that it must some devotee of Gurudev and asked to not to disturb but suddenly he felt as the hands being very very soft and it can’t be except our Guruji!! He immediately wake up from sleep and saw it was true, Sri Sri Thakur was standing before him!! Gurudev asked smilingly to immediately go and see what is happening there in the kirtan premises, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has himself arrived along with all His Parshads and doing Sri naam sankirtan and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra is circulating the whole kirtan premises!! He asked Sadananda babu to immediately join the kirtan group!! Sadananda babu ran to the kirtan premises and saw that sri naam sankirtan was at its peak height and it seemed that the whole place was shaking due to the dance of the kirtan group, it seemed to him that this kirtan is from some other world and he has never heard or seen such a divine kirtan in his whole life!!! Whatever it is, as per Guruji’s wish all those souls of the vaishnavs got liberated from this world due to the holy naam sankirtan!! All Glory to our beloved Gurudev Sri Sri Ramthakur!! All Glory to Sri Naam Sankirtan!!
