Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra‟s teaching in our daily life - Written by Uttom Kumar Nag

Deal All Namaskar;
I am honoured and it is my great pleasure to have the privilege to share the precious moment with
all of you. I would like to express my heartiest appreciation to the Singapore Satsang for organizing
124th holy birth celebration of Param Premamoy Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra for the 2nd time in
Singapore. This is a great Enthusiasm to guide our generation as well as our next generation to
know about him and having the privilege to learn about his devotion and his teaching towards the
mankind.
Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra was born on 14 September 1888 in Himaitpur village in the Pabna
district of Bangladesh. From the very beginning, Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra was extremely
mother centric. He accepted his mother as his guru throughout his life. Satsang ashram was
automatically originated around him first at Pabna (in Bangladesh) and then at Deoghar in
India1946, for fostering spiritual development. The Satsang ashram at Deoghar has now become a
major place of attraction in Deoghar. Actually Sri Sri Thakur 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 Truth), but this was only a letter to one of his disciples Atulchandra.
However, the conversation 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, Pritibinayak,
Adarsh Binayak, the Message series, Vigayn Vibhuti.
Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra was initiated (called 'Dikhsha') by his mother as per his instruction
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 (dream). 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‖.
He used to teach to the mankind, by addressing 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 said that the Supreme Being
(Ultimate GOD) is one & only one. 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, Buddha, Jesus Christ,
Mohammad, Chaitanya & Ramkrishna Paramahans have been the Prophets & we should respect
them all. Blasphemy to anyone of them is blasphemy to all.Living Ideal (Guru in flesh & blood/ a
living Guru). He said that the abstract God cannot 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.
We have to keep the momentum upright and have to pick up and practice Sri Sri Thankur Anukul
Chandra‘s teaching in our daily life.
