Thakur Anukulchandra

Thakur Anukulchandra
Thakur Anukulchandra (1888–1969) was an Indian Hindu guru, physician, and founder of the Satsang ashram.

Anukulchandra was born on 14 September 1888 in Himaitpur village in the Pabna district of Bangladesh. His father was Shibchandra Chakraborty ( Shandilya Gotra Kanyakubja Brahmin) and his mother was Manomohini Devi.

Anukulchandra set up a Satsanga ashram, first at Pabna in Bangladesh, and then at Deoghar in India, for fostering spiritual development. The four ideals of Satsanga are education, agriculture, industry, and good marriage. Actually Anukulchandra did not 'set up' any organization. The organization evolved around Him. Schools, charitable hospitals, engineering workshops, a publishing house, and a printing press came up. He never wrote any book. Except one -Satyanusaran' ( The Pursuit of Trth), but this was only a letter to one of His disciples Atulchandra. Howver, conversations of various people with Sri Sri Thakur was recorded, and His direct sayings were compiled. This has given birth to the vast literature of His direct teachings; noted among these are Satyanusaran, Punyapunthi, Anushruti, Chalar Sathi, Shashvati, and Pritibinayak.

Anukulchandra was initiated ( called 'Dikhsha)by his mother on behalf of Huzur Maharaj of Radhaswami Satsang, Dayalbagh, Agra. But He had been showing tremendous spiritual signs right from His advent. He used to do 'Kirton'/Naam-Kirton ( "Hare Rama- Hare Krishna"). Sometimes during this, he would go into a trance. His utterances during these trances known as “messages” were later collected and published in a book called Punyapunthi. It was at this time that he started being addressed as “Thakur”.

Mother Mata Monmohini Devi was deeply inclined to spiritualism namely prayer to the Almighty and her meditation. She was initiated by Huzur Maharaj of Dayalbagh, Radhaswami Satsang of Agra. Her spiritualism consolidated in her initiator Huzur Maharaj Ji through whom she used to taste the nectar of Heaven almost in her everyday life. The outward exposition of Father Shib Chandra was not exfoliated like Monmohini Devi but still he was one of the worshippers of Truth and also a man of word. Father Shib Chandra's family belonged to the poorer strata of mediocre families. Detailed speculations about the studies and livelihood of individual children was not possible for the above reasons. Sri Sri Thakur Ji being the eldest of the off springs of the parents used to sacrifice His comfort and other aptitudes of livelihood for His younger brothers and sisters

In 1946 Anukulchandra went to Deoghar in Bihar and an ashram came up there on the model of Satsang. He did not return to Pabna after the partition of India, but continued to live in Deoghar, where he left His mortal frame on 26 January 1969.

" The degeneration of humanity began at that moment when the unseen God was made infinity and, ignoring the Seers, the worship of their Sayings began.

Oh Mankind ! If you desire to invoke your good, forget sectarian conflict. Be regardful to all the past Prophets. Be attached to your living master or God and take only those who love him as your own. Because all the past Prophets are consummated in the divine Man of the present." - Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra- Satyanusaran-

His teachings range over almost all subjects of the world, including pure sciences. He had predicted & explained the dangers ( in a scientific manner) in 1920s itself. He has given immense knowledge of the origin of the world, humans, history of the world & Indo-Aryans in particular. He spoke in details about quanta, atoms, and sub-atomic particles and has given detailed explanation on how all these created the cosmos. No one knows how He spoke on all these, many of which were discovered later by modern science. His explanations of Human Eugenics laws & dynamics of Varnashram is exhaustive. He has said that we must know the science of human breeding, to produce better quality people. All His principles are based on Ayurveda & other Vedic concepts. But His explanations are surprisingly modern.

He said(Ref:6) that the Aryans originated at the North Pole when the climate there was spring-like.[1] Later, due to relative change in position of the sun ( as is happening again around/since 1945, He warned), glaciation started in Arctic area. The Aryans had to migrate southwards. Ural, Lithuania regions saw their immigration. Much later, one of the branch of the Aryans immigrated to the Saraswati-river basin. That branch is now known as the Indo Aryans.[2]

According to Sri Sri Thakur, the Vedas were expressed at the North Pole itself. The Aryans were practitioners of the Varna system and had a proper science of marriage. This was based on genetics & eugenics.

Sri Sri Thakur said that the Supreme being ( Ultimate GOD) is one & only one. All the Prophets are same and there is no difference. His ideology is based on three major concepts:

1. GOD is one and all Prophets are the same. The Latest Prophet is always the Fulfiller of all the previous prophets.He said Ram, Krishna, Jesus Christ, Mohammad, Chaitanya & Ramkrishna Paramahans have been the Prophets & we should respect them all. Blasphemy to anyone of them is blasphemy to all.

2. Living Ideal ( Guru in flesh & blood/ a living Guru). He said that the abstract God can not be comprehended by humans. So, we need a living Guru who has the attributes (some, if not all) of God. This Guru is the living embodiment of all ideals of life. When a Prophet comes He is called Sad-Guru, the most perfect Guru, and blessed are those who get such a Prophet. This chain of Prophets will continue as long as the creation exists.

3. Marriage on the principles of Varna system. That is first marriage of a man in his own varna ( Savarna Marriage), then he can marry females of the lower varnas ( Anulom Asavarna marriage/ Hypergamous marriage). The former is to preserve the original genetic stock of the lineage, and the subsequent ones to breed new bio-diversities. But he warned against Hypogamous ( Pratiloma) marriages, where the girl is from higher varna. Progeny of such marriages are distorted by birth, as, Sri Sri Thakur "inferior sperm destroys the nodules of a superior ovum". These people, however brilliant, are anti-existence, anti-life by birth, and can not be cured.

In His own words: FIVE FIRES

Do surrender to and serve the Almighty One and unique ;

do serve devoutly the solemn seers who fulfill the past ;

be devout unto the forefathers who roamed on the route of eternal go ;

do serve devoutly the grouping of the varieties of similar instincts (Varnashram), that specifically inhere in the being ;

and do thou dedicate thyself to the present Fulfiller, the best— the adjusted abode and resurrected meaning of the past ;

this— the superb and sovereign path of consummation ; this—the Dharma of existence and this to follow eternally." ( Ref: The Message,by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra, published by Satsang, Deoghar-814116, India)

His biography in English, titled "Ocean In a Tea-Cup: Story of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra", has been written by Ray Hauserman.[3] In Bengali, there is one biography by Brajgopal Dutt Roy.

In the nineteenth century Sri Sri Thakur came in a remote corner of a village named Himayitpur which is at present belongs to the domain of Bangladesh. At the time of His birth the natural environment of Himayitpur was too near to the primitive stage where tigers, bears and poisonous snakes used to roam freely in the primitive streets of the village of Himayitpur even during day time. The village of Himayitpur was situated on the bank of the river Padma, where crocodiles used to float on the surface of water freely and safely even during day time. In the midst of all His brothers and sisters He was brought up like a common child by His parents who used to fight against poverty and wistful, immature cravings of self-fulfilment of the environment.

The greatest miracles perceived by this environment during His life time is that He never showed any contradiction in His whole life even in any of His "Banis" (utterances) that He uttered for others and He always said that there's no miracle in this Universe. Every action has got a scientific truth behind. Miracles appear in front of us when we cannot feel the consequences of the events. So today's miracles very often come to a reality by tomorrow when we can feel the consequence of the same.

In His boyhood of six to seven years this compassionate adoration surpased the zone of His family into all the families, who resided at that time in Himayitpur village. According to the specific nature of human beings major portion of the people of Himayitpur used to exploit His goodness thinking Sri Sri Thakur a foolish chap and a few others used to love Him for his soothing conduct and servicing mentality.

In His infancy, once the governess of Sri Sri Thakur synonyned His stature as Sri Ram Chandra's infancy in her mind. Immediately, the colour and texture of Sri Sri Thakur's skin became light green like that of the colour of Ram Chandra in Ramayana. The governess became bewildered and thought again about Sri Krishna's childhood. In her utter surprise she found that His texture of skin changed into blackish blue as depicted the Mahabharata.[4] Sometimes in His stammer tongue He used to tell about the future of any individual which appeared absolutely true for him.

In a little advanced stage of His childhood He used to swim in the river Padma along with the crocodiles. Very often He used to go deep to the bottom of River Padma to practise meditation for a pretty long period where he never felt any discomfort due to cessation of respiration.

In his advanced boyhood His education started. In the beginning of His education the mathematics teacher tried to teach Him the fundamentals of Mathematical summation i.e. 1+1 is equal to 2. But Sri Sri Thakur with all His modesty told the teacher that everything is unique in this world. So, one plus one should be two ones instead of two. With this comment He whetted the anger of the teacher and in turn He was scolded and caned which was a routine technique of teaching in those days.

In those days He used to repeat the Name ( Holy mantra) taught by His mother almost twenty-four hours unknowingly. In that stage of repeating Name once He touched the carcass of a cockroach, the half of whose body was devoured of by the insects. As long as He touched the cockroach's body it behaved like a living cockroach. From that experience Sri Sri Thakur thought Name can impart vital life-thrill which may bring back the life flow in a lifeless body.

In His later life in the same way He used to infuse the life thrill in so many dead human beings. The foresaid experience, inspired Him to think about a machine that is "Vibrometer" which can measure as well as impart the vital life thrill into a dead body. He went to deposit the examination fee for matriculation and found a needy friend by His side who had no money for appearing in the exam. He immediately gave His hard earned money to His friend so that he could appear in the said exam depriving Himself from the same. In His teenage, He took initiation from His mother Monmohini and since then very ardently He used to appeal to the Almighty for appearing in front Him in a glorious stature.With this appeal to the Almighty and restless stature He passed years together when on a dark night, He viewed a glorious illuminated palm where all the unseen things and darkness devoured up in front of His eyes with that eternal soothing emanation of that palm. He used to specify that palm as the palm of "Parampita" that is the Creator, Father of the Universe.[5]

He used to co-relate His knowledge with the events in the environment and nature around Him. He had a fantastic power of storing them in His memory and to utilise them among others for their well being. Almost miraculously from the dew-dawn of His life till the dew-dusk of His existence He used to say that all the living creatures belong to one family and you'are amongst them for the well-being, comfort and better livelihood of others. You shouldn't forget to spend each one of your aptitudes to uplift your circumstances for better livelihood and tranquillity.

Beholding one's existence in expansion and exaltation is "Dharma". To achieve this goal, the processes that lead up to the goal vary according to the environment, time and place. But the principle uplifting individual remains the same unalteringly in every age, class, creed and nationality. Accoding to His view the path of religion is one in this glove. Decisions to reach the path may differ. Defulcated souls so many times roam in the faulty paths to achieve glory and peace. Religion re-ligers them into their right path to achieve the same what they really want in the shortest possible time. So the man whose go of life plots geographically and historically that eternal path of religion and whose life tells the story of the same is undoubtedly called an incarnation of religion. It goes without saying that our Sri Sri Thakur Ji belongs to the first line of the above said category.[6]

With the advancement of science Sri Sri Thakur's life, following the laws of nature, reached the advancement of His life. More and more people started flocking together around Him. His power of love expanded from His village to the whole province of Bengal and ultimately overflowed to the other neighbouring provinces till millions of people of India started feeling Him as their Love-Lord as because the power of Love is many fold stronger than any fusional bombs.

Centering Him so many projects like "Post graduate research centers, Vishwa Bigyan Kendra", Art studio, craft manship centers, Tapovan School, Thermal power center etc. started developing at Himayitpur till He left Himayitpur, just before the partition of India, for Deoghar, Baidyanathdham, Bihar(now Jharkhand). He left almost everything with all those previously mentioned projects whose valuation was approximately more than two and a half crore rupees(Indian Currency) at that time.

At Deoghar His next phase of life started with the world, where delegates of various countries used to come to Him to receive His shower of love and to know the eternal, unaltered, exalted and beautiful flame of Truth which remains same for all the day and in all parts of the Universe.

Very often in His youth He used to remain absorbed in "Keertan" where the descriptions of "Almighty" were uttered in melodious songs. At that specific time in an unconceivable physiological process His body temperature used to rise above 110F. Cessation of His pulse indicated the retardation of heart beat. In that Trans Stage He used to proclaim the specificity and uniqueness of "Parampita" is various languages of the Earth. Out of those languages only a few of them uttered in Bengali, is printed in a book named "Bhab-bani", and later on, while discussing about the Trans period Sri Sri Thakur used to tell us that He felt as if He had been expanded to bear the whole Universe in Him. He is responsible for all the event happening in any part of the Universe. His most uncommon perceptibility centralises in His body in such a way that He felt His existence among all the living entities around Him. In that specific stage of consciousness a horse was caned in front of Him and the cane marks on the horse's back appeared distinctly on the back of Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra.

In His last days, very often He used to say "I am the foolish Father of my foolish sons and daughters who don't know how to achieve those things that they really want."http://anukulthakur.org/

By the law of Nature the time of His demise crawled at the door of His existence till the early dawn of 27 January, 1969 when His personifying human stature vanished from the front of our eyes only to take it eternal place into the frontal lobe situated above and in between the two eyes of this writer and billions of His followers throughout the globe never accept His demise. According to them He has only changed His dwelling place from front of eyes to in-between the two eyes to recall the eternal memory that is Truth, narrated by Sri Sri Thakur:-

THE REVEALED[7]

The booming commotion of Existence that rolls, in the bosom of the Beyond, evolves into a thrilling rhyme, and upheaves into a shooting Becoming of the Being with echoes that float with an embodiment of Energy- that is Logos, the Word, - the Beginning!

-Sri Sri Thakur

In spite of giving such revolutionary teachings & science which could have given a new & positive direction to moderncivilisation, Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra left His mortal frame in a dissatisfied mood, as He could not get a single person, among His disciples, who could become as He wanted. He regretted that "ekta manush pelam na" ( I didn't a single man !). Many of His eminent disciples, like Ray Hauserman(Ref:9), Debi Prasad Mukherjee(Ref:10), Prafulla Kumar Das, Justice Prafulla Banerjee( Ref:7) and His own second wife Sarbamangala Devi ( Choto Ma) heard Him telling that He would take birth again, as the son of His youngest son, to practically implement His teachings in the society at large.

Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra had 6 wives. Only the first three of them had children. The first wife, Shodashibala Devi ( Boro Ma) had two sons ( Amarendranath Chakrobarty, i.e. Boro Da & Vivek Ranjan Chakrobarty, i.e. Mejo Da) & a few daughters. The second wife Sarbamangala Devi ( Choto Ma)was in fact younger sister of the first wife. She had only one son, Dr. Pracheta Ranjan Chakraborty ( Kajal Da). Dr. Pracheta Ranjan Chakraborty is at present the only surviving son of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. The third wife had a daughter.

After passing away of its Founder, as it happens in all organizations, the Satsang organization of Deoghar also saw acrimonies. Vivek Ranjan Chakrobarty & Dr. Pracheta Ranjan Chakraborty did not appreciate the ways of their elder brother Amarendranath Chakrobarty, and set up another Satsang organization with Vivek Ranjan Chakrobarty being its President. Later, these two separated their official collaboration without sacrificing the main mission.

At present Dr. Pracheta Ranjan Chakraborty is the only surviving son of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. He lives in Deoghar and also practices in Kolkata. He is an eminent surgeon.

The original Satsang organization, thus, has assumed two separate forms. The first, which is the biggest in size & number, is headed at present by Ashok Chakrobarty, the eldest son of Amarendranath Chakrobarty. Ashok Chakrobarty is called Pradhanacharya. They have almost made it into a hereditary system that the eldest son will be the Pradhanacharya. This organization has spread all over with numerous temples all over India.

Dr. Pracheta Ranjan Chakraborty ( Kajal Da) has only one son(Ref:10) , Ananyachandra Chakrobarty ( Bapun Baba or ANANT SRI BABA).A large number of people follow HIM as their Sadguru, as they know that Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra had predicted that He will be reborn as the son of His yongest son.[8] Surprisingly, this is also mentioned in the Bhrigu-Samhita astrological readings of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. These readings were brought from Kashmir in the lifetime of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. They say- "Laghu putrasya grihe punah..."(Ref:7) i.e. readings of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra will be reborn as the son of His youngest son !

Ananyachandra Chakrobarty ( Bapun Baba or ANANT SRI BABA), born on 15 January 1971Ref:7), became very disappointed to see the acrimonies in Satsang organization and lack of will & real action to do works as wished by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. He became disappointed with all, including His own father. Not willing to make any compromises, HE severed all connections with all branches & sub-branches of Satsang organization. Now, He is working the way He wants to. As He is still young, its the future which will reveal what HE does.

Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra says that in the periods, in between, when there is no Prophet present, an individual has to look out for that person who follows HIM in real sense and more than others. That person is received as the Acharya etc. First, the disciples have to search among the Prophets's direct desecndents, and if they do not find anyone with such attributes, then search has to be among the disciples itself. Ultimately, "Any man of any Nation..." can become Acharya.He says:

" After the passing away or demise

of Him who is the Advent,

if there is someone in His family

who is unrepellingly attached to Him,

with all regardful allegiance,

inspiring service, compassionate conduct,

and a true nurturer and protector

of His laws and principles,

given to establishing co-ordinated harmony,

having no greed for position

or malice toward others

and is loving and keen on bringing apt adjustment—

then do follow him ;

if you don't find such a person,

then follow in proper order

the one amongst His sons by culture

who is endowed with such qualities,

so long as the Advent

does not appear again ;

you will not be deceived

but will attain becoming

in an appropriate harmony. "

-Sri Sri Thakur (Sambiti, Vol-I, 39,by Sri Sri Thakur,
pub: Satsang, Deoghar-814116,India )


"Any man of any nation

whoever he may be—

if his nature and conduct

are existential,

if he takes existential food,

avoiding meat and fish,

if he moves on

with untottering skilful adherence

to his Acharyya,

being actively devoted and adjusted with principles

aglow with existential intelligence,

if his characteristics are not distorted,

if he does all these things accurately,

then the future anoints him

with all adoration as an Acharyya ;

and he who becomes an Acharyya

spontaneously becomes a proper

object of veneration

welling up from the exuberant urge

of the heart of people ;

improper move

cannot afflict his intelligence

and path of activity,

he achieves the attributes of a seer, so his individual traits

become exuberant and glowing likewise with the illumination

of an existential blaze."

( Ref:'Adarsha-Binayak', Saying No.138, By Sri Sri Thakur, pub: Satsang, Deoghar-814116,India )

On Prophets[9]

"I feel," Thakur began, "the clue to real religion concentrates in the character and conception of the Love-Lord. It can be realized only through a concentric zeal, love and service to Him, the Universal individual. After all, each Advent, Avatar, Son and Friend of God are the same, though in different embodiments. Their tidings are of the same tune, though in accordance with the age. So, refute none, though you follow One. To do so, I believe, is a curse on the followers and blasphemy to the Prophets."

"Blasphemy, Thakur ? You make it sound terrible."

Thakur's eyes became quizzical. "Since Providence provides the Prophets and Prophets profess the law, and further, since the only way to achieve is to follow and fulfill Them, then, is not conflict and animosity with any of Them a blasphemy, a satanic proclivity?"

"You keep insisting all the time that the Prophets are the same," the young woman said. "Perhaps they are. But why in their profession of the law did they so often proclaim contradictory things?"

"Though the Prophets are One, " Thakur explained, "two aspects, divine and discrete, always exist. The divine is eternal, universal and invariable. The discrete varies according to time, place and circumstance. So, specific situations may mould the creed in many forms, yet the law and basic principle of uplift always twinkle in equal radiance."

"What are those laws and principles that are equal in all?"

"I feel, to uphold, nurture and protect existence with an apt resistance to evil are the four attributes of divinity. There, God smiles with every blessed bliss. Further, I believe that love — the nectar of the Omnipotent, dwells in every heart."

"Love, Thakur?" the serious youth intervened. "Right here there's confusion. The theme of the Hebrew Prophets and Mohammed was fear of God's wrath; while the basic principle of Christ's faith is joy in God's love. Don't you find these different and more than just a question of time, place and circumstance?"

Thakur shook his head as he replied. "I feel that fear and hope lead the mind to knowledge. Then, mercy and love lead to achieve. All Prophets made love prominent and a basis for their leaching; for it leads us to achieve and sublimate our souls normally. Thus in the Tidings of the Hebrews it is said:'... Love is the beginning and the end of the Torah. . . ' and Mohammed has said: . . . 'if you love Allah then follow Me and Allah will love you . . .' So, don't ever slur any Prophet with a delimiting imposition, lest it lure you to be fixed in unhealed fixity."

Unconvinced, the youth insisted, "But the way Christ, Buddha and Krishna emphasized love makes me feel there is certainly a difference in quality if not in content."

"See," Thakur said pointing towards the moon in the eastern sky, "the moon that rises tonight is the same moon that rose yesterday and will rise tomorrow. After a few days, that half moon will appear to us as a full one. Yet, the full moon we shall see is really the same as the half moon we see now and the same moon that rises every night. It is only from our view that it seems larger or smaller. Practically, it doesn't change its size at all. Every night it's the same moon. So it is with Advents, Prophets and Son of God. Though They are complete in Themselves, yet They show it according to the situation, the time and the place. Remember, He is always unlimited and according to the devotion and the attitude of the followers, a particular aspect appears prominent."

"Thakur, still there is that statement of Christ's: ' . . . none come to the Father but through Me ..." This makes it difficult to accept other Prophets."

Thakur replied , "But 'Christ' means 'the Anointed.' Hence, all real Prophets are Christ since They are anointed with the love of the Supreme Father that dwells in the life-spirit of every being. This is the reason I feel, Christ declared: ' ... I am before Abraham was. . . ' as well as '. . . none come to the Father but through Me'.. . "

A thoughtful silence ensued until the young man with spectacles remarked, Thakur, we were discussing at suppertime about the comment of the great contemporary historian, Toynbee, that perhaps a new universal religion might come from Asia, possibly from India . . ." The young man paused and his companion intervened, "Thakur, Christ said that as lightning cometh out of the east and shines unto the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man. Some people say that in this age of nuclear bombs, we now live in an apocalyptic age. Even some remark about the fact that all the great religions predict a saviour to come. The Hindus wait for Kalki Avatar; the Buddhists pray for Maitreya; the Mohammedans for Muntazar; the Christians look for Jesus' second coming and the Jews still seek for their Messiah."

".. . Thakur, what they're trying to ask is that if the Saviour is to come, when will He come?" the young woman insisted.

"They want to know what you say."

Thakur's voice grew grave. "I believe it is when ominous tyranny tutored with hellish, hoe through python push of desire, reigns with ramming blow; when life grinds and groans with gnaw of despair; when soul rebels and sobs with panting urge; then, I feel, blissful God comes down with His stretching arms."

"God comes down ... ? How does He come, Thakur?"

"As I understand," Thakur explained, "the Son of God, the sudden mutation, is invoked by the anguished, concentrated urge of the people. He then is conceived and born as the Prophet. He is, I believe, the miracle in flesh and blood Who shoots from above for the people below."

"Gee, Thakur," the young woman remarked, "there are an awful lot of people all over the world who are weeping and crying and afraid. Do you think He's come already? If He has where has He come?"

"Perhaps," Thakur said softly, " He sits today, gorgeously simple, wisely foolish, normally normal, in some neglected corner of the world and with an atom bomb of love in His hand." "There're so many neglected corners in the world, Thakur. Isn't there something more that helps to recognize Him?" ..................... .....................

ON BIOLOGY AND BECOMING[10]

When Thakur had taken his seat under the vine-encrusted banyan tree, one of the young American visitors observed, "You describe the possibilities of family life as 'a glimpse of heaven'. However, Thakur, in many families, even those without any history of divorce, the home is rather distant from the picture you describe. All parents in America seek happiness in marriage; they desire loyal, intelligent children who might bring credit to themselves and their family. Yet, often it seems that we have failed somewhere. The children are given the best education that money can provide health, opportunity ... nothing has been left out. Yet, many times the children neither utilize those opportunities, nor do they develop in the way we hoped. On the other hand, it is found that children who have had much less opportunity do achieve and contribute far more to family and society. When I seek for a cause, I become confused. Then I end up either blaming fate or giving credit to luck."

Thakur nodded, "I say, don't ignore the law of begetting which requires that traditional flow of characteristics that contributes to life's becoming and transmits through the matching of similar heritage to sprout into hereditary specifications which generate finer feeling and instinct. If this is ignored, one commits a suicidal offence which gradually affects family, state and society with a mongrel manifestation. Then, a luring whistle of passionate dream infects every heart and home —educated or illiterate—with a dissipated, luxurious go."

"Perhaps that kind of degeneration is the fate of all civilizations, Thakur. In fact, one philosopher has suggested that civilization itself is a disease that is inevitably fatal."

Thakur shook his head. "No doubt, when civilization ignores the eugenic, uphill evolution of existence, then non-virile intelligentsia, lacking valour, traditional traits and far-sightedness, and infected by injudicious unrestrained passion, often contaminate the majority of the people to roll down with vulgar steps. Then, I think, civilization is attacked with the disease that diminishes it to insignificance. But, if one protects his family and civilization through proper, compatible marital ties that nurture the various, distinctive genes so as to maintain an evolving efficiency, then, I say, hearts do upheave and civilization does soar in a growing expansion eternally."

" Thakur, that sounds all right," the young woman remarked, but human eugenics flies in the face of a democratic way of life. Fundamental to democracy is the free choice of not only one's rulers, but also one's marriage partners—regardless of eugenic compatibility. This free choice is considered a basic premise in man's inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness."

"Yet, it is my belief," Thakur explained, "that incompatible marriage often makes the morale of morality lame and lurid. Family and society then sigh in the tussle of conscience and consequence. Whereas, stable, well-cleaved eugenic life that sprouts from the matching of bio-psychic compatible mates is truly the pursuit of happiness which shines with brilliance to beget progeny of talented glory surrendered at the feet of heaven. Is not this the fundamental of happiness in family, society and slate?"

"Perhaps it is, Thakur," the woman agreed, "but what do you mean by bio-psychic compatibility? How can one recognize incompatibility?"

Thakur nodded. "I have seen that certain organic compounds fulfill specialities of others when combined, while some combinations become unstable or malformed, their original qualities are lost due to electric maladjustment. Similarly, the individual characteristics, family traditions and traits of wife, if not fulfilling and nurturing to the husband, break the original tenor and tune of each. Often, to blunt and distort the nervous system of the offspring and make them repugnant to their ancestral culture, sentimentally peevish and stubbornly unbalanced. Whereas, proper bio-psychic matching makes the inherent, instinctive tendencies of both complements and fulfill one another to beget mighty off-shoots of spontaneous, intuitive, educative traits."

The girl shook her head. "I still don't understand bio-psychic traits, Thakur. Everyone has literally millions of traits and even these vary at different ages and under different circumstances. The possible permutations and combinations are almost infinite and to judge which fit and don't fit is practically impossible."

"At least," Thakur observed sympathetically, "don't support or nurture the matching of a woman of ancient, noble, cultured gradation with a man of more recent one—however brilliant he may be. I believe such unions fuse in fragile frailty, disrupting the delicate characteristics of each and almost inevitably beget progeny that integrate in a devilish distortion who, in turn, drag society down to the boisterous hell of disintegration."

The white-haired, scholarly visitor smiled. "Havelock Ellis has remarked somewhere that Lady Chatterley would not have been a happy wife to her peasant lover. This observation seems to agree with your idea, Thakur. However, the problem remains: A democratic society cannot accept any class distinction or recognize superior or inferior. They feel it smacks of vanity and arrogance."

"I don't understand arrogance or vanity, but what I see I say. I observe that each person is a unique empire of Providence, and to goad him from his normal trail of aptitude is to outrage the path of his instinctive existence. Thus, you lose an empire for yourself, your society and your state. Then, the echo of that lost existence comes back as suffering to rupture the roll of life with an indolent dullness. This is why I say: Don't declare or do what you do not like for yourself. Don't make another a loser and don't be a loser yourself by demolishing the definite, distinctive arrangement of existential evolution that draws us toward the of existential elixir."

I gir’s forehead wrinkled. "But . . . but, Thakur. . . doesn't THE definite arrangement of evolution stand upon the premise of equality ? Don't you believe in equality?"

"I don't believe," Thakur explained, "that the conception of equality can create intelligence, because it seldom differentiates one from another. Often it creates a fantastic, foggy conception with a frivolous, dull exposition that dwindles the inter-interested go. I like the sense of equitability— the capacity to distinguish between similarity and sameness— that generates fellow-feeling and sympathy."

"But, Thakur, do differences make for fellow-feeling? Generally, it is just the opposite.” Thakur shook his head, "Just think: if all had been equal, then the feeling of 'I' as different from others would never exist. If there were no 'you' there could be no I. That is why I feel that though the urge for existence is one, the process of existence is many. Hence, each unique existence can only acquire from another life entity a meaningful, piling adjustment of knowledge through his own distinctive aptitude."

"What on earth do you mean by 'distinctive aptitude'?"

"I understand," Thakur began, "that each being comes into this world with specific, instinctive characteristics handed down through generations—the immortal necklace of germ cells. It is through this individual distinctiveness that man's existence is upheld and through it he finds, and ultimately feels, the underlying unity in creation. In a word, he then reaps the harvest of existential proficiency. On the other hand, to break or belittle this trail of instinctive, normal aptitude through ignorant nurture or incompatible marriage is to make the inner man suffer in a passionate, slavish, suicidal trap. In a word, he reaps the harvest of hellish deterioration."

"Then, Thakur, you have to give more importance to one individual than another!"

Thakur shook his head emphatically. "But I believe that no man is less important than another in the field of his normal aptitude, be it philosophy, administering or farming. I understand that every aptitude is provided by Providence to further the fulfillment of existence. So I say: don't minimize the labour or skill of anyone, but keep open the way for each distinctive aptitude to maintain and evolve with active enthusiasm and determination. Thus, insure the evolving life of everyone—yourself, your neighbour, your society and state."

"Do you actually feel that's possible and still maintain the ideal of democracy, Thakur?"

Thakur said, "Just face the fact both analytically and synthetically with earnest inquisitiveness and wistful intellect. Seek for the common factor and nurturing mechanism in each and every existence. Thus, acquire and systematize a knowledge that includes all differences and similarities, actions and interactions. Surely, you will distinguish through graduated perception, the shining door where varieties and variations meet in the university, all-wise entity. And even more, you shall embrace the goal of Democracy that is Divine!"

The elderly scholar became thoughtful. "Thakur, a number of groups in various parts of the world have sought to find ways and means to apply eugenics to man. Few, if any, have had any success. Human eugenics, I'm afraid, is a field that at one time offered much promise, but has produced very little practically."

"Still," Thakur softly insisted, "it is my faith that though we fail a thousand times, yet when one favourable point that fulfils life’s hankering to evolve is discovered, it allows thousands of individuals to gain. So, why worry or mutter of inability or unsuccess ? Why not exercise and administer to gain that point even amidst the thousand failures that cry around you?"

The visitor smiled. "As a matter of fact, Thakur, a prominent contemporary physician in America has recently suggested that each individual maintains a record of the history of the diseases in his family as an aid to diagnosis and to the understanding of the place of heredity in diseases."

Thakur's head bobbed up and down in agreement. "Surely, if each and everyone maintained accurate genealogical records over generations with brief notes of specific characteristics, health and | occupational history, it would help to lead to a solution."

"Still, Thakur . . " the young woman's brow was puckered up, "this emphasis on heredity, on distinctiveness... somehow it just doesn't seem right. It places a kind of limitation on us as free children made in God's image. We might have limitations. But, to emphasize them. ... to . . .to insist upon them, denies democracy and even belittles our faith in God, don't you think?"

Thakur's voice was gentle. "I think that if one desires to go beyond the limitations imposed by nature, he has no choice but to go through them. It's why I feel a man must stand upon those distinctive traits bestowed on him by heredity and nature. Then, through devoted adherence and sustained effort to fulfill his Lord, Who is the Fulfiller of each according to his characteristics, he eventually comes to realize the universal One. He extends that original line indefinitely-like a parabolic curve."

The wrinkles in the forehead of the girl seemed to soften as Thakur continued, "In our scriptures it is said a menial or a king can know Brahma, but not by discarding his instinctive traits, rather by standing on them. Such realized persons are true Brahmans and men have always worshipped them. This is why I feel each of us must stand upon our own distinctive characteristics, for only then can we keep the way to further evolution open. Only then we know no end to our possibilities. For as God is the source of unlimited energy, so is man if we maintain intact our link with the Source. For God did create man after His own image."

The girl had grown more thoughtful. "Still, Thakur, there's another problem. Who's to judge what the distinctiveness of a particular person is ? And even more, how to know which distinctiveness of what man is compatible with which distinctive-ness of what girl... well, it seems terribly complicated."

Thakur nodded and said, "I think that tabulated knowledge, scientific test, careful observation —the accumulated acumen that unfolds the matching point, who matches with whom producing what—will inevitably evolve accurate, existential standards. And when it is an experimented fact, everyone will follow, for do not all men seek their welfare ?"

The young man who had been silently listening intervened: “ Thakur, a western historian has observed that 300 generations cover the history of Western civilization and ten generations suffice to create fundamental changes. Further, he has suggested that a single generation represents a critical moment of history ..” youth glanced at his friends and then added, "I was just wondering how long you feel it would take before noticeable results were achieved by introducing some of these eugenic considerations into marriages. Often, the fact that biological change is so slow and imperceptible, it fails to secure widespread support or sympathy."

Thakur became thoughtful. "I think," he said finally, "if a community or country follows the law of begetting continuously for six to eight generations with an active, alert and conscientious urge, then the government of Providence will grow normally, the morals of the people will be maintained spontaneously and the breeze of becoming will blow a fragrance of freedom and liberty to all.”

"Six to eight generations!" The girl's eyes widened. "Why, thats practically two hundred years. That's too long, Thakur."

A trace of a smile played on Thakur's lips as he replied. “ That’s why I feel that now is the time to select and sow with care the seed of the tree that can bear the fruit which will flourish existence later. Then, it is sure, your future progeny will find that a glimpse of heaven on earth has appeared to them automatically. What is more, the heart of your posterity will flood with gratitude for your farsighted fulfilment of existence!"

"But, Thakur, this law of begetting. How to know where to start.. . how to begin?"

"Just teach your offspring when they select their mates to consider with a careful observation at least these aspects: compatible culture and conduct; health and hygienic go; hereditary diseases, physical and mental; compatible educational and occupational efficiency."

"Thakur, that doesn't sound so bad," the girl's face seemed reassured.

"Merely this," Thakur continued, "I know, will begin to clear the way to make your society clean and chaste and permit Providence to provide progeny of compassionate intelligence, farsighted balance and with a wistful understanding of the profound in their traditional trail. And most of all, it will bestow the traits and treasures of Providence on your family, society and state." ............ ..............

Varna and Gothra - in two lines

Jai Guru,

Definitions of Varna & Gotra in one line:-

1. Varna is a grouping of varities of similar inborn instincts.

Notes:
- Satva Guna inborn instincts= Vipra Varna ; Rajas Guna inborn instincts= Kshtriya Varna ; Rajas-Tamas Guna inborn instincts= Vaishya Varna ; Tamas Guna inborn instincts= Shudra Varna

- Varna is by birth and can NOT be changed by a person in his lifetime, come what may. However, if a family-lineage acquires the attributes of the immediate higher varna for 7 consecutive generations then from the 7th generation that lineage will change to that higher varna. An acquired instinct takes 7 generations to become an inborn instinct.
- Not only human beings, rather the entire material creation has originated in these 4 different Varnas, including planets,universes,
soil,animals, plants,birds, bees & all macro & micro-orgnaisms.

2. Gotra is a Rishi lineage.

Notes:-
- All human beings ( in fact all jeevas) are progeny of certain Rishis. Progeny of a Gotra share the same blood and are blood-relatives. They never marry among themselves as it will amount to inbreeding.

-Gotra is also by birth, and can not be changed in a person's lifetime.

These are NOT mythology, rather hardcore science.

rgds,
Yashendra

The root cause of degeneration in mankind......

Science admits that nothing happens without a definite cause behind it. Man is said to have been created by God himself. The Bible says, “God created man after his own image”. “Hence it is a fact that as God is pure, so man is pure, God is perfect and benignant, so man is perfect and benignant”. God is unique and without second, man is also unique and without any one like him in the creation.

But the reality that is evident in the world does not corroborate with the above maxim. Human beings ever confront, with savaging attitude, atrocity, inhuman cruelty displayed through forceful raping, burglary, unadjusted and unsympathetic behavior from the people in man's own environment. Man seems to have lost the last drop of love, mercy, decorum of life and the sense of humanity ingrained in his very being itself. Moreover, wherever we survey we come across innumerable people burdened with frustration, a sense of insecurity sense of self-alienation and an unprecedented dark desolation in the depth of almost every human being. Science and technology have done their best to provide man with comfort and amenities. But yet man seems to have been tossed in the current and eddies of excruciating pain due to disharmony, anomaly, treachery, ungratefulness and dragonic sense of despair and despondency in personal life, conjugal life, social life and in every sphere of life itself.

Why does this happen in man who is the offspring of God himself? Why does the heavenly nature in Man who is said to be the replica of the supreme divine term to be hellish one?

Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra, popularly known as Sri Sri Thakur, founder of 'SATSANG', and the best fulfiller of all the prophets, firmly believes that every human being is pure, perfect, and replica of the Source. The apparent degeneration in man is due to deceased condition of nature in him.

If a man is cured of his disease in nature through proper treatment, he will shine in his pristine purity and display his very intrinsic divinity ever entwined with his very existence itself; this may be called curative measure. We are also told that “prevention is better than cure”

The virus of degeneration that causes disease in nature primarily permeates in man through his inception. If an adequate measure is taken to check this permeation of the virus through inception, the man is expected to shine in his pristine purity. This may be called preventive measure. Let us deal with the preventive measure first.

Inception
An individual being is born through inception. Inception implies the very moment when a sperm of father fertilizes an ovum in mother and thus zygote impregnated with a life thrill or 'soul' is formed in the womb of the mother. The character, conduct behavior as well as his efficiency, achievement and the very nature of the individual grown out of this zygote depend basically on the intrinsic nature of the 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological make-up) in the individual. Modern eugenic science ascribes the above-mentioned attributes mainly to the genes contributed by the parents. Sri Sri Thakur does not deny the role of genes, but he ascribes all the credit to the 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' in the individual being.

The 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological make-up) in an individual is determined at the time of inception. It is the intensity of the cohesive urge with which a sperm is attracted towards the ovum, compatibility among the genes contributed by both sperm and ovum, and the extent of eagerness with which the ovum receives the sperm with all its inner attributes and potentiality that determine the very intrinsic nature of 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti'. It is this 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' that governs how the individual being will happen to display his 'self'. Hence inception plays a paramount role in producing a better individual 'being' with richer instinct, sublime nature and unadulterated 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological make-up)

Sri Sri Thakur defines 'Jaivi- Sangsthiti' as follows;

“The sprouting essence (Satta)
latent in the seed in which
all the natural characteristics of germination
being ingrained in functional attributes
sprout into a living entity---
through proper nurture and nutrition
with the conglomeration of stability, nature,
attributes and function—
that conglomeration of the very essence (satta) latent in the seed
may be called 'Jaive-Sangsthiti'. “
That Bengali word 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti may be translated in English as 'Biological-make-up. With an example from botanical world Sri Sri Thakur explains what he means by the term 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti (biological make-up). Sri Sri Thakur says:



“Let us suppose two oleander trees
grow up side by side
in the same place.
One oleander tree ever yields white flowers,
the other oleander tree ever produces red flowers.
Thus oleander of two different colors
have been blooming in two different plants
year after year---
There never occurs any alteration of it.
Now the plant grown
from the seed of the white oleander
also yields oleander flower of white color:
and that grown
from the seed of red oleander
ever produces oleander flower of red color.
Why this different oleander plants
ever produce particularly white and red flowers
generation after generation ?
The particular orientation (arrangement)
in the Jaivi-Sangasthiti latent in the two
different plants
are of such types
that one type yields white oleander
and the other type produces red oleander—
though the two oleander trees outwardly look identical”. 2

Inception plays paramount Role;
In our modern civilization there is plenty of provision for the betterment of human condition. Theories and concepts in education, economics, social science, politics are developing and then changing, yielding place to a new one only with a view to giving man better condition and congenial atmosphere for living. But better environmental condition---educational economical, social or political—can not help man evolve with peaceful and balanced progress towards eternal becoming. For advancement in evolutionary progress man also needs to be intrinsically better with unadulterated 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti, higher instincts and greater potentiality. If a man is not born with these wealth and attributes, desired and essential, the created congenial atmosphere will be polluted. Man will fail to move an inch towards his progress.

If a man is born with lame or defective legs', can he walk forward on the road paved with white marble or smooth pavement? He cannot advance more than few steps; similarly, if that which leads man from more to more in his evolutionary progress, that is his 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' higher instincts and greater potentiality be of inferior order, then how will he advance in his evolutionary progress? Man picks up from his environment according to the nature of his instincts and his Jaivi-Sangsthiti utilizes them as it can maneuver what is picked up. But the better Jaivi-Sangsthiti, sublime instincts and greater potentiality man acquires through the total process of fertilization of an ovum. Hence inception plays a paramount role in human life.

Sri Sri Thakur does not deny the role of education and environment. But he declines to agree with the statement of an educationist like Mr. Haldon, that it is the impact of environment that can render an ordinary person uncommonly great. In his opinion, “environment will work no doubt, but it works always on the 'Jaivi-sangsthiti' of the man.

The function of education and environment in developing a child may be compared with function of soil and atmosphere in developing a seed. Without proper soil and good seed fails to yield desired fruits. Similarly, without proper education and congenial environment a human being cannot bloom into his full potentiality.

But if the seed is of inferior variety, then however fertile may be the soil, we can never obtain superior quality of fruits from that variety of seed. Similarly, if a child is born with infected “Jaivi-Sangsthiti”, anomalous instincts and less potentiality, we can never develop the child into a man of integrated personality, balanced exposition, enriched with greater potentiality and inexhaustible urge to run towards Eternal Becoming.

We know that the same soil nurtures seeds to sprout into various plants with their specific botanical properties. It is in the same soil and atmosphere that different seeds sprout into varieties of seedlings and then into plants to yield different fruits with varieties of tastes, flavor, chemical properties, medicinal values and nutritive efficiency for human health. But it is neither the soil nor the atmosphere that differentiates one plant from another; it is the latent specifics lying in the seeds themselves that make this differentiation in tastes, flavor, and nutritive properties. Similarly, the same education and environment provide different individual with nurture and nutrition. But men of different 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti', instints and potentiality grow up in different types of personalities. Hence Sri Sri Thakur posits, “Birth is more important determinant than environment. In the process of growth a man picks up necessary nourishment from his environment. But he picks up according to his inherent instincts.”

Sri Sri Thakur is so confident of this truth that he comments: “If science does not know this fact, it will know if it investigates. If better progeny is not born with better instincts and unadulterated 'Jaivi Sangsthiti', whatever may be the arrangement for education or religious teachings, the man will fail to respond to it.”

How to effect the birth of better progeny
Individual beings born with unadulterated Jaivi-Sangsthiti, sublime instincts and greater potentiality may be called better progeny. But all these above-referred attributes do not grow in any tree nor do it sprout from soil. All these develop into man through the stream of blood. So to enrich each and every individual 'being' with above mentioned attributes through inception, proper eugenic adjustment is essential. Without proper eugenic adjustment and happy conjugal relation between husband and wife, better and flawless inception of an individual being lies far behind possibility.

Factors to be considered for eugenic adjustment:
1) Compatible marriage relation:

Sri Sri Thakur says, “ to marry is a normal hankering in human beings. The very inner instinct in man is to be rendered into multiple individuals. And from this instinctive hankering there grows the tendency of unification between man and woman. This tendency of unification between man and woman must be well adjusted in such a way that the appearance of super efficient embodiment on this plane of matter comes to be most normal and natural.” 5

Marriage is neither a contract for mutual co-operation, nor is it an agreement for the appeasement of mutual biological hankering. Through marriage the stream of man's biological evolution and developments remains unhindered. Hence, “The primary object of marriage is genetic enrichment. This is the first and the foremost purpose. The next is cultural enrichment. So it is essential to observe if there is consistency and compatibility among the heredity, personal habit, behavior and temperament of both the bridegroom and the bride. Along with this, physical enrichment is also required.” 6

In the opinion of Sri Sri Thakur, “In the matter of marriage, the more biological, social, psychological, temperamental and physiochemical compatibility between bridegroom and bride is maintained, the greater remains the possibility of better progeny there”. 7

Sri Sri Thakur posits that the compatibility in marriage is indispensably associated with the function of both husband and wife. Both the husband and wife play a definite important role in bringing a child on this plane of matter.

He says:

“Father sows,
mother nurtures, begets
and nourishes -- thus their characteristics
are different;
their marriage so
should be of
compatible combination
of similar clans; ” 8
All-round compatibility in marriage helps to create compatible unison in between the sperm and the ovum to a great extent. The compatibility in between the sperm and ovum may be compared with the compatibility between seed and soil in the botanical world.

If soil is not befitting to seed sown in it, the seed fails to sprout with all its latent probabilities. On the other hand, if the soil happens to be too good and rich, many good qualities in the seed burn out and we cannot have desired fruits from the seed.

Father sows the seed of life (sperm) in the soil (ovum) in the mother's womb. Mother nurtures the seed with nutrition and nourishment and turns this seed into a human form. The wealth and attributes latent in the seed of life (sperm) comes to be embodied in the child to the extent of nurture and nutrition provided by the soil (ovum). So in order to have a child enriched with unadulterated “Jaivi-Sangsthiti”, sublime instincts and greater potentiality, compatible combination of the seed and soil (sperm and ovum) is a must. In the opinion of Sri Sri Thakur, “bio vigoured seed must be sown into the bio-eagered soil”. 9

As to bio-vigoured seed and bio-egared soil, Sri Sri Thakur maintains: “If the male possesses an active attachment and eagerness to fulfill his Ideal (like Christ, Krishna, Buddha or Hazrat Rasul, etc.), then the very existence in the form of sperm comes to be illuminated with a living luster of vigor and energetic growth. On the other hand, if the female happens to have an overwhelming attachment for her equal and opposite entity -- her husband, then an inviting faculty of receptive eagerness grow up in her physique, mind and particularly in her ovum. In that condition she can conceive her husband's sperm cordially and can nurture it thoroughly. The probabilities ingrained in the sperm get a greater scope of being manifested in the progeny. 10


Happy and harmonious conjugal life
Next to compatible marriage, we need happy and harmonious conjugal relation between husband and wife. Without happy and harmonious conjugal relation, between father and mother better progeny with desired attributes lies beyond the range of possibility. Mere sex-relation can never produce a desired child.

The validity of the above statement may be found correct, if we analyze the mechanism of how a life comes to be embodied on this plane of matter.

We see a life comes to be materialized on this plane of matter; it must come from some where in the unseen world or world beyond death. Moreover, if we admit the term “evolution”, we must recognize that the life within our vision and life after death in the beyond are two separate states of the same life. Hence life is a continuous stream of existence.

In order to ascertain the relation between these two steps of life and make it comprehensible to our human understanding, we have to explore: “what is death, how life exists after death in the beyond and how it comes again into this material world?” in the light of Sri Sri Thakur. That means, we have to find out the relation between the birth and death of an individual.

How individual being dies
From the very beginning of his birth, man wants self-protection, self-preservation and self-procreation. In an attempt to full-fill these instinctive hankerings man proceeds through continual conflicts with environmental impulses. As he moves on, he resists what is unfavorable to his existence and adopts the favorable ones. In this continuous process of resisting unfavorable and adopting the favorable ones, his action and reaction in and with the environmental impulses create a kind of “Bhaba” in the man and this “Bhaba” gets imprinted in his brain. When due to circumstantial impact or some variable cause, the man experiences or undergoes through the deepest of these imprinted “Bhabas”, he loses the link with other “Bhabas” and becomes disconnected from all other “Bhabas”, of his being. When a man becomes disconnected from all other “Bhabas”, the environmental impulses can produce no reaction in the man. The man fails to respond to anything in the environment. The man dies: he leaves his mortal body.

“The man goes off from his mortal body with the Bhaba” he got absorbed in. The Bhaba with which the individual passes away from his cellular conglomeration is called the “Carrier-Bhaba” of the departed soul of the individual. The departed soul exists in the plane of 'Bhaba' corresponding to the “Carrier-Bhaba”. The “Carrier-Bhaba” maintains the existence of the departed individual as a discrete and distinct entity. The departed soul remains in a body unlike the body of flesh and blood. This is called “Bhaba-Deha” or 'ecto-plasmic body'. The individual can feel every thing in his own way as is possible in an ecto-plasmic body. “ 11

How does the manifestation of human being take place
So far the eugenic science has explored the mystery of human inception, it is exposed that a several thousands of sperms of husband enter into the womb of his wife during union. These sperms begin to knock at the door of the uterus. Some sperms enter into the uterus and run towards the fallopian tube. On the other hand, just 14 days before the beginning of the next menstrual period, the wife releases a single ovum from her ovary and this ovum enters directly into fallopian tube. If in the fallopian tube, the ovum comes across a sperm and if the ovum gets fertilized by that particular sperm, then pregnancy occurs.

In this fallopian tube first a zygote is formed. This newly produced zygote enters into the uterus and gradually sticks to the wall of the uterus. Then it gradually grows up into an embryo. This embryo is transformed into a child.

Who is there to tell us what kind of child will it be? So far the scientists have investigated, the nature, potential attributes and other acumen of the child depends on the intrinsic wealth and nature of the contribution made by both father and mother of the child.

During the process of fertilization both the sperm and ovum contribute 23 chromosomes each. This 23 pairs of chromosomes conglomerate together to form a zygote. This zygote consists of a single cell. Now cell-division takes place at the rate 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on. But each of these millions of cells contains the primary conglomeration of 23 + 23 chromosomes. Out of these 46 chromosomes, only two chromosomes determine the sex of the child. The remaining 44 chromosomes determine the physical structure, mental acumen, etc. of the child.

Each of these chromosomes contains millions of genes in it. These genes are also called “symbolic sign of heredity”. These genes determine our hereditary traits such as hair, color of eyes, physical structure, facial appearance and mental acumen through generation after generation. According to modern eugenic science these genes play a paramount role in our habit, behavior and conduct of life.

Eugenic science has also admitted that, “If the genes carried by the chromosomes contributed by the ovum be not compatible with and complementary to genes carried by the chromosomes contributed by the sperm, then the child born out of such incompatible combination comes to be possessor of inferior attributes and undesired “Jaivi Sangsthiti”. On the other hand, when genes contributed by both sperm and ovum happen to be compatible with and complementary to one another, the child born out of such combination is expected to inherit superior attributes, sublime instincts and an unadulterated “Jaivi Sangsthiti”.

A question peeps through our minds
Still a question peeps through our minds. When both bridegroom and bride comes of pedigree families and of higher heredity; when their marriage union happens to be eugenically compatible, yet their different issues are born with different inborn personality, instinctive attributes, mental make-up and temperamental acumen. Why does this happen so?

It is often seen that out of a same pair of parents one child is born with scholarly aptitude, kind heart, sober and gentle exposition of behavior, deep devotion for parents and he excels in his career. But the other is born dull, ill tempered, cruel and with no love and regard for his parents and he suffers life-long distress. One child exhibits spiritual bent of mind and shows interest in ecclesiastical activities from his very childhood. But the other one comes to be most materialistic in attitude and epicurean in nature. So it is said that five fingers of hand are not equal. Most of the parents attribute this difference in aptitude, mental make-up, temperament and intrinsic potentiality to the goddess of destiny. But in this modern age of science we cannot accept anything as true unless we pass through our first hand observation. Science makes practical investigation and then comes to conclusion. We may refer to the finding of Russian scientist named Dr. Amram Scheinfeld and see what he has pointed out in his book 'The new you and the heredity'.

According to Mr. Scheinfeld, the particular ovum eagerly waiting in the fallopian tube accepts and embraces only one particular sperm out of millions of sperms which wins the spectacular race in the fallopian tube. Of course, Mr. Scheinfeld has not traced out why does this particular fortunate sperm wins the race and reach the ovum before all other sperms in the race. If it were a run-race of human beings, we would imagine that the man must have regularly practiced running in the field; Or, were it a horse race, we could investigate in its genealogy: if this particular horse was the descendent of any horse that won the race in the past.

However, the zygote thus formed out of compatible combination will be manifested in to and individual being. The nature, potential attributes, intrinsic significance the being are determined by the permutation and combination between the 23 chromosomes of the sperm and 23 chromosomes of the ovum.

From the statement of Mr. Scheinfeld, in his book “The new you and the heredity”, we come to know that in one fertilization 300,000,000,000,000 types of individual being may be born. The 'I' that has been born as 'I' is the resultant of a particular combination out of 3x10^6 crores of combinations. I, as I am now might have been born in any one particular kind of manifestation out of 3x10^6 crores of manifestations. Mr. Scheinfeld says:

“But to produce a given individual, both a specific sperm and a specific egg must come together. So think, what had to happen for you to have been born.”

** ** Mr. Scheinfeld finds the result through the following calculation;
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in one sperm this 23 pairs of chromosomes can be arranged in 16,777,216 ways through permutation and combination. So a sperm can take up about 16,777,216 types of forms, according to different arrangement among 23 pairs of chromosomes.

“At exactly the instant, the one out of 16,777,216 sperms which represented the potential half of you had to meet with specific egg which held the other potential half of you. That could happen only once in some 300,000,000,000,000 times”

What has Mr. Scheinfeld said to speak of why the ovum selects and embraces a very particular sperm is very significant. He says, “The lucky sperm which has won out in the spectacular ways against millennium of others, enters the chosen egg which has been awaiting in fallopian tube of the mother. Immediately, as previously learned, the sperm and the nucleus in the egg each releases its quota of chromosomes and thus fertilization of egg starts on its carrier.

“But it was on just such a miraculous coincidence the meeting of a specific sperm with a specific egg at a Specific Time, the birth of Lincoln or Shakespeare or an Edison or any other individual in history depended. And it is by the same infinitesimal of chance that a child of yours might perhaps be a genius or a numskull, a beauty or an ugly duckling”12.

“Why specific time of union between a specific sperm and a specific egg to produce a world famous Lincoln or Shakespeare or a most ordinary labor, a great scientist or a numbskull?”, is so important has not been explained by Mr. Scheinfeld. He has left it on a chance and miraculous coincidence.

But Indian philosophy did not stop with the role of psychological contribution only, but laid stress on the role of psychophysical and spiritual contribution too, in having different kinds of issues out of a same pair of parents. So the Indian seers (spiritually realized sages) don't speak of chance and miraculous co-incidence. What they have said is logical and reasonable, though it may be required to be tested in the touchstone of modern materialistic science to realize the very truth underlined their statements. “Purusottama Sri Krishna said in Geeta,
“Jang Jang bapi smaranh bhabam tyajatyante kalwe baram Tang tamebaiti kounteya sada tadbhaba bhavitah.” 13

Thus the above verse means: a man leaves his mortal body at the time of death with a Bhaba, and is born again there (into a mother's womb) where he gets the identical Bhaba.

Sri Sri Thakur, a great exponent of all the past prophets, sustained the statement of Lord Krishna in more explicit manner.

He comments:

“At the time of death,
an individual leaves its mortal body
with the Bhaba,(called Carrier Bhaba),
and that life takes its birth again
to the parents in tune with
carrier Bhaba of the departed life,
during their union” .14
The above verse means, the carrier Bhaba with which an individual being leaves his mortal body when gets co-incidence with the Bhaba with which a pair of parents on the plane of matter comes to be saturated at the time of sexual union, then the departed individual is born to that particular pair of parents. In other language, each of the pair of parents comes to be charged with a particular Bhaba during sexual union. When this charge of Bhaba becomes in tune with the carrier Bhaba of any departed soul, then the departed soul is born with that particular pair of parents. We may refer to a simple example.

A farmer has cultivated a brinjal in his vegetable garden. He works hard and keeps himself engaged in doing various function in the garden almost through out the day. He waters the plants, removes the weeds and shrubs manures the plants and the make arrangement to protect the plant against worms and insects, when he looks at the grown up plants with flowers and young and tender brinjal, he gets delighted to think of the heavy harvest this season he expects a good profit this year, thus he becomes totally absorbed in the thought of brinjals. Let us suppose that in this state of absorption, he goes off his mortal body with the Bhaba (idea) of brinjal. This is the carrier Bhaba. After death the departed soul will exist as a wave of Bhaba in the vast ocean of Bhaba.

Now let us imagine that another farmer has also cultivated brinjal in his vast garden. He also takes care of the plants with all his means and measures. He is also extremely delighted and happy to see heavy harvest and huge profit this season.

One day the cultivator and his wife both work in the brinjal field. Both husband and wife are happy to see the prospect of harvest this season. After supper they go to bed at night and continues talking about their success in producing good brinjal, both husband and wife are so delighted with and absorbed in the thought of brinjal that they are charged with the Bhaba (idea) of brinjal and they unite together at this state. Now if the charge of Bhaba gets unison and tuned with the carrier Bhaba of the departed soul of the former farmer that departed soul is expected to enter into the womb of the wife of the farmer, mentioned later.

But it is very hard to comprehend how the departed soul of the former farmer enters into the womb of the latter farmer's wife. Is it something like a rat enters into a hole?

Prof. K. P. Bhattacharyya, President of Satsang and co-worker of Dr. C. V. Raman, Nobel laureate, asks Sri Sri Thakur, “We may easily understand the role of sperm and ovum and their contribution in the process of inception. But where lies the consistent and co-ordinated relation of an unseen and abstract soul with concrete sperm and ovum?

Sri Sri Thakur explains;


'The Bhaba and impulses of the wife generally induce her husband to be sexually inclined to her. The brain-center of the husband gets excited according to those Bhaba and impulses. Now all the departed souls with their respective carrier Bhabas that lie in tune within the range of tremors of the excitement come together first in the brain and then into the scrotum of the husband. Then all the sperm-cells in the scrotum become charged with those carrier Bhabas of those departed souls and become mobile. That is, those incoming souls impart life to the sperms and render them living and moveable; and that time the man feels a sensation of contraction in his body. Then during sexual union those mobile sperms run forward to meet and mingle with the ovum in the fallopian tube.

On the other hand, the wife also gets enlightened and inspired to the extent she is charged and moved by the resultant effect of her husband's personality, character, conduct, display of love and affection for her and above all, his all fulfilling nature. This enlightenment and inspiration color her total being and get imprinted on the awaiting ovum in her fallopian tube. Thus the wife and her ovum get charged with a particular Bhaba. Now the ovum embraces in it's bosom the particular sperm whose charge of Bhaba coincides with the Bhaba that the ovum is charged with. That is, the ovum receives the particular sperm, which is in tune with the ovum in affinity and Bhaba, but not because it wins the race. Thus the ovum blends together with sperm in such a way that they dovetail together, there remains no gap at all. Thus the conjunction of a sperm and ovum produces a complete entity. Cell division starts and ultimately a child grows.” 15

Prof. Bhattacharya desires Sri Sri Thakur to explain it elaborately and importunes,”please tell Thakur why out of millions of sperms only a particular sperm is conceived, is it providential ?

Sri Sri Thakur replies, ”I don't call it providential. The particular sperm of father that possesses strongest affinity for the ovum in the mother, will be received by the ovum. The ovum with particular Bhaba will receive the very particular sperm that is charged with the identical Bhaba of the ovum in itself. So I say so much about compatible marriage union and happy conjugal life”.

Sri Sri Thakur further explains the rebirth of a departed soul in the light of the principles applied to the reproduction of sound or picture through radio or television receiving set. In his opinion, “the re-birth of a life takes place there, where the Bhaba of the united couple coincides with the carrier Bhaba with which the life left its mortal body.”17

He says, “Let us suppose that our physique with its activities is a radio receiving and transmission plant. The Bhaba that are formed with sensation within us by the impulse of our environment are constantly recorded and transformed from our brain and it is continuous. At the moment he loses the link with the environment, the mechanism of his whole being disintegrates and eventually, he being reduced into that Bhaba is transmitted in the form of wave into subtler plane. And subtler plane means finer complex.

Now let us imagine that every individual being in the environment does have a receiving plant in him. Let the complexes be the crystals of that plant. By means of an impulse the crystals are adjusted in a particular manner to receive the corresponding particular wave. The wave received is determined by this adjustment. This is the clue of the prime law of our re-birth. The nature of the 'being' to be materialized is determined by the nature of the wave received by a particular psychic arrangement in our brain caused by action and reaction of our environment.” 18

To speak of the mystery of eugenic science as to the mechanism of inception of an individual Sri Sri Thakur dictates two messages in Bengali:


“ The existence in ectoplasmic body
Burdened with desires and wishes
Is condensed into sperm
To form the seed of the body
And the sperm mingles
With the ovum
In tuned and co-ordinated to it
And then grows up through cell divisions
With all its characteristics.”19

“In single ejaculation
Millions of lives
Impregnated in the sperm run forward;
As the ovum received one and is fertilized
So it gets physical form;
The seed of life in ectoplasmic body
Gets shelter in the sperm
Through sex-urge
And unites with the ovum
Tuned with identical Bhaba
In the womb of a female
As a consequence grows up gradually.”20
(Bhabanubad)
Happy Conjugal life:
Besides compatible marriage the happy and harmonious conjugal relation between husband and wife is a must to secure better progeny.

In order to maintain a happy and harmonious relation, wife and husband are expected to be true to their respective characteristics and nature as defined below:

“Wife is she
Who never wipes out
Her adherence
To the husband;
Husband is he
Who through his love
To lord, the Lead,
Does not separate himself
From her existential interest
In every suffering and happiness.”21
Sri Sri Thakur points to a statement of Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament where he said: “Both husband and wife should be attached to each other through deep love in such a way that they turn to be one in flesh and spirit.”

“During sexual union the Bhaba and the trend of thoughts in both husband and wife should be consistent with one another. The more the trend of thoughts and Bhaba are sublime, higher and sacred, the greater, as better and purer child with sublime nature and unadulterated Jaivi-Sangsthiti is born. The tuned psychical charge of both husband and wife at that particular moment of sexual congress lays a great impact on the future life of the child. Because the child is nothing but the vitalized material embodiment of that tuned psychical charge of the husband and wife. His eyes, nose, facial appearance, ear, in a word the construction of each and every limb and minor limbs of his body, his thoughts, charge during sexual and etc. Become molded by this tuned psychical charge during sexual union. The child is born with that and proceed towards newer achievement.”22

If any pair of husband and wife desires to have great, sublime and magnanimous issue, then the maintenance of a happy, harmonious and sweet relation between husband and wife in their daily life is an indispensable factor. Because if the daily dealings in between husband and wife is not sweet, charming and complementary, neither one can expect happy, harmonious and sweet feeling for the each other during that particular moment of union. As the wife possesses the Bhaba-Bhumi, trends of thoughts during the very moment of their union, so become the nature, depth of sublimity, and the purity of the Jaivi-Sangsthiti of the child born. Thus the difference among different children of a same pair of parents that we observe is due to the variation of mental attitude, Bhaba-Bhumi, and intensity of love and attraction of the wife for her husband.

So in their daily life, if the dealings between husband and wife comes to be sweet, pleasant, fulfilling and if the sympathetic eagerness for each other remains normal and natural, then at the specific moment of their union, the wife could easily induce greater and sublime Bhaba in her husband and thus could raise him up into the soaring height of Bhaba-Bhumi and can receive him in an eager earnestness in her bosom. Then and then alone the birth of a child of higher caliber, greater potentiality and pristine pure, rather unaffected 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' comes to be normal and natural.

In the opinion of Sri Sri Thakur, ”Mother means one who measures, the intensity of love and attachment for her husband and the extent of her eagerness to receive him in her bosom determine the extent of manifestation of husbands attributes in her child. Thus the attachment and the eager, deepest sincerity to receive him in her own self is the measuring agent.”23

But if the daily relation between husband and wife be not healthy, sweet, and charming, on the contrary if there exists mutual doubt, hatred, admonition, offended state of mind (particularly of the wife) due to vanity and agonizing attitude then it is better and wise not to have sex relation between husband and wife. Because in that case mind of the wife remains mortified and frustrated. As sense of apathy and aversion coalesces her whole being. In such a state of mind, she cannot express her intense love and devotion (deep attachment) for her husband and inspire him with the induction of sublime Bhaba. As a result she happens to be deceived of good progeny enriched with sublime instincts, greater potentiality and unaffected Jaivi-Sangsthiti.

In order to check the degeneration in man and render this whole world into a paradise we are to be over meticulous as to the birth of better progeny through out the whole world.

The governing authorities of the developed and developing countries have adopted necessary steps as directed by eugenic science to produce better crops, superior example of cattle and other domestic and useful animals like horse, dogs, cock and hen, etc. But none is seen to pay a little attention to how to develop better human beings with sublime instincts, greater potentiality and infection free 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' in their respective countries. We should remember that the same genetical laws that we have learned to apply in case of crops and cattle development can equally be applied to develop desired human 'beings'. In order to develop desired human beings in our respective countries, we are to pay our first attention to marriage reformation within our respective tradition and culture, but we must proceed on the basis of findings in genetical and medical science; because these are the two most important social institutions that can reward each and every country with the valuable wealth of best and worthy human beings.

Curative measure
The preventive measure checking degeneration has been dealt with. What is to be done with man and woman that have already been born on this place matter? It is a horrible spectrum of a degeneration we see in human beings already born in this world. It demands a curative measure to render this world into a paradise.

We are taught that God is the supreme benevolent creator of this vast creation. He never becomes indifferent to his creative beings. He always desires his creative being to live and grow eternally in peace and progress and He enjoys himself through their enjoyment. He does not deject or reject any one from his creation. He must have taken care of this situation and pointed to surest remedy for curing diseased nature in human beings.

The most precious remedy for curing the dissuades nature in man, as directed by all prophets the eminent embodiment of ultimate realty is the un repelling love and attachment for an embodied ideal life like Lord Christ and Lord Sri Krishna, Lord Buddha, Lord Hazrat Mohamed, Lord Sri Gouranga and like them through proper process.

It is a practical experience of the wise that man does evil or commits any crime only when he is obsessed with his passions and complexes. These obsessions or complexes compel him to turn away his face from his Supreme Beloved ideal as Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Sri Krishna, and Lord Hazrat Mohamed. They are the eminent embodiment of the abstract God. These obsessions induce him to go astray.

What are passions and complexes?
The primordial hankering in human beings is self-protection, self-preservation, self-procreation and resistance, to what is unfavorable to these primordial hankerings. Out of these primordial hankerings, there arises the tendencies for eating, sleeping, fearing, copulation and ego. Out of mutual conflicts among this tendencies various complex comes into being. They have multifarious manifestation. But they may be categorized into six groups such as sex, anger, greed, infatuation, pride and envy. These six groups of complexes may be called six passions.

Sri Sri Thakur thinks, “each of these groups is like a round water tight compartment having separate universes. The 'I' of a 'being' is associated with each of these universes”. 24

The passion and the complex are meant for our very existence; through these complexes we enjoy our existence, “there is an auspicious purpose of God behind the creation of each and every complex. Many people consider sex to be bad. But, if there would have been no sex urge in existence, the current of creation could not continue”. 25

But these complex when are not adjusted, generally seek self-enjoyment at the cost of our being and we also then come to be frenzied with their demands. We fail to realize what we are doing ? Say, as for example, earning of money. We earn money to live and maintain ourselves with required provision. But there are some people who out of greed for money come to be at a lose to find out the proper method of earning money and fell to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Due to this kind of conduct ultimately there very being is sacrificed.” 26

If complexes are not adjusted, the man gets tired due to anarchical reaction in his being. When unadjusted, they complex don't make man sure what direction he will follow the next moment. As the obsession of one complex gets the upper hand over that of the other, the man follows the direction of the obsession, which takes the upper hand. Thus different complexes, drag the man in diverse course of action at different moment. It is evident to our empirical mind experience that “the object we love so much at the lashing of infatuation, we heard at the next moment at the whipping anger the thing we try hard to achieve out of greed, we sacrificed at the impulse of pride or envy”. 27.

This inconsistent behavior is not a healthy nourishment for a being. It does not help a man maintain a balance measure in life's conduct and consequently the man fails to achieve an existential success and enjoy the bliss of 'becoming' in life. Unadjusted complex creates havoc to the existence itself. At the conflict between complexes and anarchical and disorderly impulses of the environment the very personality of man gets dissipated and turns into tiny pieces. As a conglomeration of smoke is dispersed into small lumps by the on thrust of wind so the personality of man gets dissipated and dispersed around in a tiny lumps at the on thrust of the whimsical demands of this unadjusted compels. As a result, it becomes quite impossible for the man to move towards evolution and eternal becoming.

If we look at the modern world, we find that at the lashing of passion of greed man has become voracious eater of hygienically prohibited foods and as a consequences innumerable cases are suffering from diseased and deteriorated health and premature mortality. Sex urge has been so pre dominating in some man and woman that innumerable cases of raping and ravishments are taking place all over the world. Thousand cases of conjugal lives have been burning in the fire of chaos, conflicts and the impact of damaged and distorted libido in both husband and wife. As a result of this intolerable situation countless children have come to be orphans inspite of their parents being actively alive.

They have been deceived of their parental love and affection and living either as destitute addicted to modern drugs or they are being lost in the abyss of dark world.

People like ascetics both in eastern and western world tend to believe that these passions and complexes are enemies to our existence. These passions and complexes must be controlled by means of suppression or should be extinct altogether so that cannot destroy our existence by their venomous bite. So they generally apply the process of repression or extinction by herbal or yogic process.

But it is admitted by modern medical sciences that those who follow the method of repression or extinction of passions and complexes invariably turn to become abnormal and rendered to sub-human, Instead of being developed in spiritual progress.

In the indoctrination of Sri Sri Thakur there is no such term like repression or exitinction of complexes. On the contrary, he advocates and insistently remarks, “Sublimation and adjustment of complex are the best measure to render the complexes into best friends of our existence,“ For the achievement of the healthy becoming of the existence and enjoyment of its eternal becoming, we must not drive out the passion and complexes but should make them sublimated and well adjusted.

How to adjust and sublimate complexes?
All our passions and complexes are the manifestation of our libido entwined with the very existence itself. The libido is the guiding force of all passions and complexes. When this libido of man is attached to supreme beloved like Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Krishna, Lord Buddha, Lord Hazrat Rasul, Lord Sri Gourang and so on through love and service and admiration then its manifestation (i.e., Complexes) comes to be adjusted first in themselves and then with the libido and gradually sublimated.


What is called libido?
Sri Sri Thakur explains in his philosophy “what is life and what is libido?”

He says,
“Fusional adherence
That evolves in to being
With responsive becoming
Is Life”28
Eugenic science admits that life sprouts from the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm. Sri Sri Thakur adds;

“Cohesive urge by which
Sperm and ovum adhere and
Evolves is libido --- the urge.” 29
Sri Sri Thakur further explains, “The magnetic current underlining the cohesive force between the sperm and an ovum due to which an ovum is fertilized by a particular sperm to form a zygote, which through cell-division evolves in to a concrete being is called libido. Libido means “ tendency towards unification. This libido is manifested through habit, behavior and man's nature of inclination” 29 A

The very existence of every being is in tune with the cohesive urge of the libido. Hence the inherent urge of unification lies at the root of attraction between parents and the progeny, husband and wife, friend and friend, lover and beloved. It is this urge of unification that acts as the motive force behind mans utmost effort to find God, the source of existence. With the help of this libido, human being pulls man objects and affairs etc. In the environment towards him self and enjoy the glory.

Thus man's inclination for diverse objects and affairs in this plane of matter act feeder canals to the main stream of the urge for unification -- unification with the source if and when they all are utilized for a single purpose -- for the purpose of serving and fulfilling one supreme beloved called ideal. But man having no supreme beloved or ideal in life, utilizes these different streams of inclination to please, serve and fulfil different persons -- father, mother, husband, wife, friend, lover and beloved or his selfish end. As however, all these persons are not generally attached to any supreme source of superior impulses, they cannot provide us with adequate feedback to these different inclination in man in return. In the long run the man gets tired of his cravings. As because man's libido, for want of adequate nurture,, comes to be weak the man feels suffocated in himself with a sense of negation through he may be drowned in affluence, plenty and prosperity in material provision. The intensity of affliction due to suffocation with sense of negation along with a sense of self-alienation cannot be expressed in language.

But on the other hand, when man is inclined to such a great man like Christ, Krishna, Buddha, Hazrat Rasul through active love, service and admiration and employ all his thoughts, deeds and speeches to establish him and him alone in the hearts of people and when all his liking, love and inclination are engaged in pleasing him and him alone, his libido becomes attached to his supreme beloved strongly. His libido becomes integrated. Then the manifestation of this libido (thread) as flowers are strung to a thread to form a garland. The deeper the love and attachment for ideal, the greater becomes the adjustment among complexes. Gradually they get sublimated and come to be the friends of man.

Sri Sri Thakur comments: “libido wants integration or yoga. This very integrate libido comes to be the regulation or yoga. This very integrated libido comes to be the regulator of complexes and the complexes become sublimated. Sri Sri Thakur emphatically remarks, “when the complexes come to be meaningfully adjusted through passion-pervading attachment for the ideal like Lord Christ, Lord Sri Krishna, Lord Buddha, Lord Hazrat Rasul and so on, then and then only they gets sublimated. When the passions are sublimated then sex changes into love, anger into vigor, greed into magnanimity and pride into modesty.” 29B

Libido i.e., The tendency towards unification in human beings may also be called “love”. Love is that through which man express his tendency towards unification. Every human being wants to love someone or other. There is not a single man who does not cherish love for any one in this world.

On the contrary, a man may love many persons, but he always desires someone in particular on whom he can bestow his love exclusively. A man have name, fame, money, plenty and prosperity in all respects, but if he has no one whom he can love exclusively or someone who can love him exclusively, he feels himself prop-less in the vast ocean of interaction and ultimately drowns himself in more frustration and a deep feeling of self alienation. Thus the instinctive tendency in man is to love and to be loved exclusively. The sublime feeling of Ananda (enjoyment) of man lies in his capacity for loving others as well as in commanding love from others.

As a tree requires to drive its roots into a particular place on earth and secure nurture and nourishment in order to be meaningful in serving the environment with flowers, fruits, wood and other contributions, a man similarly, requires to drive the root of his love i.e. His libido into a particular good and great in order to enjoy his self through interaction with selves beyond himself. Thus the natural tendency of the libido is to be attached exclusively to some one good and great. Through this concentric love libido gets nourishment in its cohesive urge and tends to evolve. As the libido gets nourishment, the complexes and passions are meaningfully adjusted and sublimated. As a result human nature gets purified. The virus of degeneration burns out and evaporates like incense.

If the libido of man is maintained hale and hearty from his childhood through proper nurture and nourishment, the man can never come under the evil influence of his passion and complexes. No obsession of any complex can occur in him at all. Rather, he can enjoy the good output of his adjusted complexes in his normal behavior. To provided nurture and nourishment to the libido of a child means to deal with child in such a way that in born inclination for mother comes to the nurtured and the libido of the child gets normally attached to his mother, father or any other superior like them.

It the libido of a child be nourished by the shower of parental love and affection, then at the later period, that child in his manhood comes to be attached spontaneously to an ideal. When he is attached to his ideal through love ,services and admiration, his inborn instincts an attributes come to be elevated and sublimated. He comes to be source of existential nurture to his fellow beings through his congenial habit, behavior and conduct.

There are many historical evidences of this type of transformation of degenerated human beings, made possible by an active attachment for an embodied ideal. Change of robber Ratnakar (As depicted in the epic, the Ramayana) into a great poet Valmiki, out of love for Purushotam Sri Ramchandra, terror Saul in to saint Paul, prostitute Mary Magdalene into a devotee Mary Magdalene out of strong and active love for lord Jesus Christ, prostitute Amrapali in to a devoted and magnanimous Amrapali through her love and attachment to Lord Buddha, alcoholic and debauched Jagai and Madhai into a greatly devoted disciple of Lord Sri Gauranga are indeed obviously clear cases in point. The golden spectrum of change that we notice in life of most precious jewel of Islam --Khalipha Omar was the effect of divine touch of Hazrat Rasul.

In the life of Sri Sri Ramkrishana and Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra such transformation of men and women with degenerated nature into normal men and women with love, devotion and active zeal to serve the environment are in abundance. Drunkard Girish Ghish and prostitute Nati Binodini in the life of Sri Sri Ramkrishana; and Satya C. Dutta, once a person obsessed with passion for other woman, and many others in the life of Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra were transformed into such religious persons that they could command love and adoration from their country men.and their living examples of life story provided inspiration amongst millions of people to achieve eternal peace of mind. 30

The term 'Bhaba' here has been used to denote the totality of experiences with feeling, sensations, perception ,etc., In a state of being. As for example, when a man dreams that he is eating, He sees the food, feels the food, smells the food, He tastes the food and enjoys the food with all its environment, the sum-total of these experiences that He is in called 'Bhaba' of the man at that time. He does not realize that he is dreaming unless this “Bhaba” breaks i.e., He wakes up. Sri Sri Thakur some times uses 'ideal' for 'Bhaba'.

A short introduction of the author :

Born in the year of 1929 in the district of Kushtia, (now in) Bangladesh, Sri Rebati Mohan Biswas passed his Matriculation (High School Final Examination) from Dhupguri (Jalpaiguri) high school and completed his B. Sc. in 1952 from Behrampore Krishnanath College. In 1948 he came to Deoghar for visiting Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra and took initiation under him. Since then he has dedicated his life as a full time volunteer of the spiritual organization, ”SATSANG” for fulfilling the divine mission of Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra for the 'well being and becoming' of mankind.

In 1963 in order to fulfill Sri Sri Thakur's wishes, he completed his M.A. in English (Private) from Calcutta University, and again obtained Ph.D. degree from New York University in 1972 with exceptional proficiency (by completing in a very short period of time, his thesis on Sri Sri Thakur's philosophy, “Dharma, the upholder of existence, as conceived by Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra”.). Since 1964, Dr. Biswas have been engaged in delivering speeches on various topics of philosophy and specially on religion in the true sense of the term in different educational, religious and social institutions, all over India and abroad. He had served the executive committee of SATSANG as Assistant Secretary for a long time. (still now he continues as a member of that Executive Committee; he has been fulfilling for a long time the responsibility of the Editor of the monthly magazine, “LIGATE”. He is the author of many books of which few may be mentioned as: “New Light from the East”(based on his doctoral thesis), “The Guide” etc.
