Sri Sri Thakur had the name Sri Anukul Chandra Chakravarty and his father was Shiv Chandra
Chakravarty and mother Smt. Manmohini Devi. He was born in a hamlet called Himaitpur, in
Pabna district of Bangladesh, erstwhile East Bengal in pre-independent India. Having born on
8 fourteenth September 1888, he passed away on twenty-sixth January 1969. His had a life of
intense activities in material, social and spiritual realm. He lived a life that can be called more
of a public life than that of individual attainment and glory.
In essence, there is no difference in the ideology preached by all the prophets. All of them had
a deep and abiding respect for the past prophets. Sri Sri Thakur, being the latest one, did show
utmost regard and reverence for all the past prophets. While glorifying the past prophets, Sri
Sri Thakur has carried forward the tasks left incomplete by his predecessor prophets. The life
style, the philosophy of all the prophets has a striking similarity among them, excepting the
difference in style with regard to time and place, when and where they descended and
performed their mission. There is no ideological conflict among them. The differences in so
called religions are of mankind‘s own creation and are result of corrosive effects of time.
Who was Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra? He was a Prophet, a Guide & Ideal to follow
That has been known:
By way of self revelation by Sri Sri Thakur himself
By finding similarities with other Prophets of the past
By seeing his divine qualities
By seeing him as incarnate of love
Through people‘s realization
A glimpse on his ideology
Be concentric to living Ideal
Have a progressive go of life, maintaining your instinctive distinction
Know the cause and effect relationship with a scientific approach
Nourish your body and mind
Render service to your environment and make them self reliant
Cohesion in community life through common Ideal
Manipulation of habits and behavior is education
Marriage and Eugenics
An Ideal is said to be fulfiller the best. We need to have such an ideal before us whom we can
follow and be fulfilled to the best of our requirement and who can guide us in the most
unerring way. Theoretically, we can have any one as ideal whom we love and to whom we are
prepared to surrender. The fact is that as we follow the ideal, the strength and limitation of the
ideal also would have influence on us. It is easy to appreciate that higher is the goal better
would be the progress. Similarly, higher is the ideal; better would be our integrated
development of our personality. On the strength of that argument, it is to be said that our ideal
should the best, the highest, the most evolved person, the best guide and hence the God
himself. We need to have an ideal like Lord Rama was for Hanuman, Lord Krishna for Arjuna,
Sri Ramakrishna for Swami Vivekananda; all these are live examples. On the basis of these
yardsticks, Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra comes out the most appropriate Ideal for us, as has
been said about his identity in the previous paragraphs. Another very reassuring fact for us is
that Sri Sri Thakur himself has given us his words that once you surrender before him, he takes
care of you.
I was fortunate that I had the opportunity to know Sri Sri Thakur‘s ideology, way of life from
birth, as my parents were initiated before I was born. Due to this, I sometimes could not
value the importance of initiation and Thakur‘s ideology. Like if a person is thirsty, he will
understand the importance of water and same water if somebody drinks who is not thirsty, he
will not quench his thirst and thereby may not understand the value of water. However, as I
9
grew up in life, I slowly understood how each utterance of Sri Sri Thakur is important in life
and with time I got more attached to Him.
While I was studying at Dhanbad, I had been visiting Deoghar on regular occasions and had
also tried to know closely my Thakur Parivar and Acharya Dev. After I completed my studies
at Dhanbad, I got to work in North-east India for about 2 years, and subsequently got
transferred to New Delhi. I stayed at New Delhi for 7 years and was closely associated with
Satsang Vihar , Delhi. I also got the opportunity of meeting Sri Sri Dada and Thakur Parivar at
Delhi twice during my stay. I also got to meet Pujapad Dada and Thakur Parivar at Surat
mandir inauguration while I was posted at Gandhinagar. It is essential to visit Satsang Vihar,
Deoghar and be attached to Sri Sri Thakur with the help of Acharyadev Sri Sri Dada.
Satsang has grown over the years and a person like me who has relocated many times, always
finds satsang and satsangees a necessity who provide me the comfort zone that is required at
all new places. Truly, I feel myself fortunate to be a disciple of the Loved Lord Sri Sri Thakur.
