Thus Spake Bhagavan

If you really want to be great no one can stop you. 

Your quality will reach you there. For that you 

don’t have to show off yourself. If you have the 

quality it will flourish surely. 

                                           ~~Bhagavan. (8/5/2013)

“তুমি যদি বড় হতে চাও তো তোমায় কেউ

আটকাতে পারবে না। তোমার যোগ্যতাই তোমায়

 সেই জায়গায় পৌঁছে দেবে। তার জন্য তোমাকে

 বাইরে দিয়ে নিজেকে সাজিয়ে রাখার প্রয়োজন

 নেই। তোমার মধ্যে যদি কোন শক্তি থাকে তবে 

তা প্রকাশ পাবেই।”~~~ ভগবান। (৮/৫/২০১৩)।

Thus Speaks Bhagavan

It is easier to realize GOD by serving others. While you serve mix love and then you serve. Service not should be like a machine.  It should come from the heart. Then only it is a service. This will be then the work of GOD. This will help you to realize the Supreme.                           ~~~Bhagavan (5/5/2013)

“ঈশ্বর কে সেবার মাধ্যমে তাড়াতাড়ি পাওয়া যাবে। 

সেবাতে ভালবাসা মিশিয়ে মানুষের মাঝে পরিবেশন

 কর।”                   ~~~ ভগবান। (৫/৫/২০১৩)

Thus Speaks Bhagavan

“God is attraction. He is attracting everybody and everything. Every moment we also feel to be attracted towards worldly matter. As our mind filled with   worldly matter we fail to feel the attraction of God, we feel more attached with the world. When we will shift the focus of our mind from worldly matters then only we will realize GOD.”~~Bhagavan.

“ঈশ্বরের অপর নাম আকর্ষন। ঈশ্বর সবাইকে এবং সকল বস্তুকেই আকর্ষন করছেন। আমরাও প্রতি মুহুর্তে জগতের প্রতি আকর্ষিত হচ্ছি। আমদের মন সব সময়ে বিষয় খোঁজে। তাই আমাদের মনে হয় যেন জগতই আমাদের আকর্ষন করছে। আমরা ঈশ্বরের আকর্ষন অনুভব করতে পারি না। যখনই মন বিষয় শূন্য হবে আমরা ঈশ্বর অনুভব করতে পারব।“~~ভগবান। ৩/৫/২০১৩.

Bhagavan speaking

“RIGHT FOR TRUTH.”

Till date this world witnessed our civilization fight for the – “Right for peace”, or “Right for sovereignty”, or “Right for Education- Food - & habitation”.

But now Bhagavan introduces our civilization with a new thing. We have this right always, but our civilization ignored this very basic right for long.

This is the – “RIGHT FOR TRUTH.”

Never before this had we ever cried for this right. Now, it is the time to shape our civilization with it.

Bhagavan

In the year 1942, 3rd of January, witnessed the birth of the greatest legend of this modern era.  Who became Bhagavan to everyone.  The life of Bhagavan is a life of a fighter.  Having the trust and courage on himself Bhagavan not only achieved the Supreme spiritual realization but also helped a great number of people to establish themselves in deep spirituality. 

The Childhood-

Smt. Induprava Chakraborty & Kanailal Chakraborty are the parents of Bhagavan.  His father was the Jamindar of Rahamatpure of present Barisal district of Bangladesh.  But the unstable political condition due to the fight for independence forced them to leave all their prosperity there and to settle in Kolkata.

In Kolkata it was a fight for life.  Here they had nothing.  They have to struggle just to earn enough so that they can live.  In those years, though Bhagavan was just a boy of 12 years he helped his mother in the kitchen and also taught small children just to earn something to support his father financially.  After so many struggles for life still Bhagavan had enough spirit to help and support for others. He at that age joined a club and took up a voluntary job to distribute free milk to the poor.  He arranged cold water to be distributed to the thirsty railway passenger in the summer days in the rail station as there was no alternative arrangement for this.  By his natural love Bhagavan always feel other’s pain and need and he had that spirit and courage to stand for others.

In spiritual world-

Bhagavan was an employee of NF Railway.  As being the elder brother he always has to bear the load of his father’s family.  After his marriage with Joyasree Chakraborty he met one sannyasin, Swami Pabitrananda Maharaj at his in-law’s house. Seeing the old saint the question came in Bhagavan’s mind-‘how can this saint be so happy and always laughing and enjoying life to its full, when he has nothing to support his life materially!’  He directly approached that saint and asked what made him such that he enjoys without being worried about future!  The saint smiled and gave initiation to Bhagavan, and started to teach him Advaita Vedanta.  As Bhagavan was employed at Guwahati, far away from his Guru who was residing at Janai, Maharaj use to send him letters on Vedanta.  Just with the help of those few letters Bhagavan achieved Ajata-Brahman-Vigayan on the auspicious day of Sarada Maa’s birth anniversary, on 15th Decembar, 1984. 

This realization changed him completely.  Transformed him into the giant spiritual power who has descended to this earth for a spiritual revolution which the world now is experiencing.  Within a short time many a people started following him in this path.  His immense spiritual power helped many of his followers to achieve spiritual heights.  

The organization-

Bhagavan formed one spiritual organization to spread the message of Advaita Vedanta among masses, named it as International Vedanta Society, on 19th November 1989, on the Birthday of his Guru Swami Pavitrananda Ji as the respect for his master.  The organization started its journey right from the most common people to the most respected personalities of society with the message of Vedanta.  Making Vedanta philosophy lively which is more relevant to the lives of people no matter what the status one enjoys in the society or what the financial condition is. 

International Vedanta Society (IVS), Bhagavan named it with a intention that like in a society where live everybody of all sex-cast-creed-religion of various financial status all together;  here also people will come in this organization to practice  spirituality irrespective of everything  of their social status-financial condition-educational background or religion.  And here IVS proved to be a successful one.

The spiritual revolution-

In the history of spiritual world never it is witnessed such a huge number of people has come for shelter and have realized Truth.  The whole society thus starts a new journey, with new style of living with the philosophy of Vedanta.  The driving force of the society is now ‘love’.   

Never is it happened before, the whole society, cutting across from all section of life joined in a spiritual movement.  Irrespective of cast-creed-sex or religion and it’s rituals that changes with time but the society starts to establish itself more on love, harmony, peace and knowledge. 

Advaita Vedanta & “Hare Krishna”-

It is never heard before that the practice of Advaita Vedanta and chanting of “Hare Krishna” happens together.  But, as a complete being, Bhagavan has done it.  Everything here in this world is Brahman, then why to leave that section of people who love to chant the name of God, that is Brahman too.

When, on 17th April 2004, at the Head Quarter of IVS at Guwahati, Bhagavan heard the Divine Voice in the state of Samadhi – “Become mad and madden the world, chant ‘Hare Krishna’.”  From then on, this spiritual revolution just became a Tsunami flooding the world. 

Bhagavan started chanting ‘Hare Krishna’ not to mingle with Krishna but with the knowledge that everything is Brahman and to mingle with everything.

A letter by Bhagavan to his sannyasins

                                                                          A letter by Bhagavan to his sannyasins

Dear Sannyasins,

            Received your letters. The news of the world what we are making or receiving is no news at all.  These are all like old news from old news papers.  The news from inner world is the news.  On getting the news of that world you renounced your so called world.  The Truth is, we ever have nothing.  What I only have was “I”.

            The two words- ‘my’ & ‘I’ has to be ‘I’ – this is the only work.  Only one ‘I’ is flowing.  Till the physical feeling have to – remain with ‘I’.  Even that flow also stops.  Writing you letter, Swamiji’s (Vivekananda) photo is in front of me.  Writing you two lines from Swamiji.  Meditate and think on these two lines.

            >“My body’- this feeling is the cause of all evils.  If there is any sin, then this is the only sin.’

            >Worldly matters which can not vibrate one person has achieved immortality.

            You are monks’ Swamiji should be your ideal.  The path on which you are – have to see the end of it.  It won’t be the yard stick of Truth, no matter how many Taj Mahals you will build.  How much you have established yourself on ‘I’ is more important.  It is more important to be perfect to myself.  Your deed will be done according to your sanskars (habits).

            In this world, I think, I have finished my work.  I am standing at the end of this perfect path.  I am satisfied. Very satisfied.  For that you believed me and followed me in this path – if you can keep your firm faith going, you too will one day reach here.  Received letters from Nirgunananda, Sankarananda & Bhaskarananda.  Till this body remains, more works will be done automatically.  You be true monks.  The world has not witnessed a true thing for long.  The Supreme Power that which is controlling us all, the Great Shiva who is always alive at your place there, who bestowed me the blessing of  immortality – your sannyas is my immortality; praying to that Lord the Great Shiva – “ O my Lord! Make my sons also immortal.”

            Nothing else remains for me to do at this moment. … Every month let me know about your spirituality and work.

            Work for Vedanta Society for time pass.  Or what else you will remain with?

                                                                              With love,

                                                                                 Bhagavan.

The Most Pleasant Thing In The World

What is the most pleasant thing in this world? What is most satisfying thing? With my experience of life I would say, the most pleasant and satisfying thing in the world is the pleasure in Samadhi. This is uncomparable. Nothing stands near to this pleasure of Samadhi. There are two types of Samadhi – one, where one goes deep inside and there remains nothing; another is, where there is an unspeakable pleasure. I use to enjoy both these Samadhis.

After this if, I have to pick another thing near to this it would be the ‘divine love’. Yes, this is also very enjoyable. This is quite different from the love between two persons. The love that the world knows is actually affection. However, in the divine love there is also a problem, it needs another thing for its manifestation. But in Samadhi you need nothing.

The name, fame, wealth all that which makes the world run after them is all third graded.

Therefore, my dear, if you really want to enjoy the most astonishing pleasure in this world you have to master yourself to be in Samadhi. Enjoy it.

Be Buddha

We know about Buddha, his life. In his youth he didn’t see any illness, or any old person, and above all he had no idea about death. The first time he saw an old man, a person suffering from illness and a dead body that changed him. He realised this world is not true. So began his search for truth and became – Buddha, the wise. But alas! We, everyday see old man, dying person, ill person still we believe nothing will happen to us. We will be fine always. This is not true. Everything won’t be the same always. We also have to die, suffer from illness. Our youth won’t stay long; we won’t be beautiful and fit always. This is the truth of this world. Know it. And be wise like Buddha.
Every one of us wants to be happy, but in this world it is not possible in this form. Until and unless one realises the Supreme Truth one will not be happy always. So to becoming Buddha is the only path to happiness.
