Kalpataru DayKalpataru DayKalpataru DayKalpataru DayKalpataru Day

The Kalpataru, it is said, gives to all whatever good or bad they ask for; but Sri Ramakrishna did notdo so. He made clear through that event, the fact of his being a God-man (Avatar) by bestowing on all, withoutthe slightest discrimination, protection against and freedom from fear.

It was the first day of January1886. As the Master felt rather well thatday, he expressed a desire to come outof his room at Cossipore Garden andhave a walk in the garden for sometime.It was a holiday and householderdevotees came one by one. When theMaster came downstairs at three in theafternoon, more than thirty people wereengaged in conversation in the gardenunder the trees. As soon as they sawhim, all got up out of reverence andbowed down to him. Master addressedGirish, one of the householderdevotees, and said “Girish, you say toone and all everywhere so many things about me (that I am an incarnation of God), what have you seen andunderstood about me, that you do so?” Girish kneeling down on the ground near the Master’s feet, said in achoked voice with his hands folded and face turned upwards, “What more can I say of Him, whose greatnessVyasa and Valmiki could not find words to express?” The Master was charmed at this utterance of the devotedGirish and blessed all the devotees assembled there “May you all be blessed with spiritual awakening.” Besidehimself with love and compassion for the devotees, hardly had he said those few words when he entered intoBhavasamadhi (deep meditation). Those words of profound blessing directly entered the devotees’ hearts andfilled them with bliss. They forgot time and space, and were aware only that out of sympathy for them in theirplight, an extraordinary Divine Being, feeling excruciating pain at their misery had come down to them fromheaven and called them affectionately to Him for giving protection, like a mother sheltering her children againstall ills.

Kalpataru Day is thus celebrated at all the centers of Sri Ramakrishna Math and Mission. It will becelebrated at the Hyderabad Math on 1st January 2011.

Sharat Chandra Chakravarti was bornat Calcutta in a rich and orthodox Brahminfamily. He and Shashi, who later became SwamiRamakrishnananda, were not only cousins andfamily friends but also studied together at theMetropolitan College of Calcutta. The firstcontact of the two cousins with Sri Ramakrishnaduring October 1883 — was a turning point intheir lives. Friendship with Narendranath(Swami Vivekananda) gave a further fillip to theirspiritual and monastic aspirations. Sharat, whowas an adept in serving the sick, both bytemperament and by experience, was one ofthe few important disciples of Sri Ramakrishnawho nursed him during his fatal illness. After hispassing away, Sharat too joined the select bandof monastics under the leadership of Narendraand became ‘Swami Saradananda’.

While in ecstasy Sri Ramakrishna’sbehavior would often be mysterious. One dayin such a mood, he sat on the lap of a youngman, Sharat Chandra by name, and remarked,‘I was testing how much weight he could bear’. This Sharat Chandra who was later known as ‘SwamiSaradananda’ successfully bore the burden of running Sri Ramakrishna Math and Mission as its (General)Secretary for nearly three decades.

Swami Saradananda (Sarat Chandra Chakravarty) first came to Dakshineswar in October 1883, whenhe was eighteen years old. Sarat’s father owned a pharmacy and therefore wanted his son to become a doctor.Sarat was willing to do this, especially when Naren approved the plan, and he entered the Calcutta MedicalCollege. But when Ramakrishna became fatally ill, Sarat at once abandoned his medical studies in order tonurse his Master. He never returned to them; for he became a monk. Throughout the rest of his life, however,he showed a vocation for nursing the sick. This he did fearlessly, even in case of most infectious diseases.

Sarat was noted for his courage and his imperturbable calm, the calm of a true yogi, which he displayedin the midst of various dangers. On one occasion, when he was travelling by carriage in the mountains ofKashmir, the horse took fright and bolted down a steep slope; he was saved from disaster only because thecarriage was stopped by a tree. Saradananda got out just a moment before the horse was killed by a greatrock which fell from above. When he was asked later how he had felt at the time of the accident, he said that

Page 6

his mind had remained detached throughout, observing what took place with the objective interest. On anotheroccasion, Saradananda was coming up the Ganges by boat with one of the devotees when a violent windstormarose. The boat seemed likely to sink, but the Swami never stopped puffing away at his hookah. His aplombirritated the nervous devotee so much that he finally seized the pipe and threw it into the water.

In 1893, Vivekananda went for the first time to the United States and spent more than three years thereand in Europe lecturing. In 1896, he wrote asking Saradananda to come to the West and carry on his work.The two met in London, where Saradananda had been giving some lectures. Vivekananda left for India andSaradananda sailed for New York, where he remained, as the head of Vedanta Society, until his return in Indiain 1898. He later became the first secretary of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission and held this office until hisdeath in 1927.

Like his other monastic brothers, Swami Saradananda also spent a few years as an itinerant monkpracticing severe austerities. However, when Swami Vivekananda called him for continuing his work in theWest, Saradananda went to London first and later to New York for the same. While he was proving to be agreat success in the West, especially due to his spiritual attainments, he was recalled to India in 1898 by SwamiVivekananda to take over the executive responsibility of the Sri Ramakrishna Math and Mission as its (General)Secretary in which capacity he served till his last day.

The way he served Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother, was a model par excellence for anyone toemulate, In order to build a residence for her at Calcutta which would also house the office of the Udbodhan,the Bengali Monthly of the Ramakrishna Order, he labored hard. To repay the debts he had incurred in doingso, he wrote the now monumental work Sri Ramakrishna Lilaprasanga (‘Sri Ramakrishna, the Great Master’).

The Swami was as learned as he was spiritual. His courtesy and gentleness were so overwhelming thateven the rudest of men would melt into submission. Equanimity and cool-headedness, even under very tryingcircumstances, were other remarkable characteristics of his.

Among Saradananda’s many duties was the direction of a magazine called the Udbodhan (Awakening),which was founded by Vivekananda. In 1908, he decided to build a house which would serve as an office forthe magazine and a home for the Holy Mother. It was to pay off the debts incurred in building of this house thatSaradananda began to write his articles which formed his Ramakrishna the Great Master (called in Bengali SriSri Ramakrishna Lilaprasanga ). It was typical of him that he demanded no special privacy for himself while heengaged in this enormous task. Sitting cross-legged at a low desk in a tiny room, with the chatter of visitors allaround him, he worked away with perfect concentration, breaking off, whenever necessary, to attend to someadministrative detail.

Saradananda continued his work on the Ramakrishna biography until the death of the Holy Mother in1920. After that, he seemed to lose all desire to finish it; and this is why an account of the last days of theRamakrishna is missing from the book. Instead, Swami busied himself in arrangements for the building of atemple to the Holy Mother at her native village of Jayrambati. It was consecrated in 1923.

Soon after successfully convening the Ramakrishna Mission Convention at Belur Math in 1926, he tookill and shuffled off the mortal coil on the 19th August 1927.

Teachings

Through selfless work the mind gets purified. And when the mind becomes pure, there arises knowledgeand devotion in it.

Whatever work stands in the way of God-realization and increases discontent is bad work. You shouldwholly discard it.

The Ramakrishna Mission does not like to express any opinion, good or bad, about political discussions,for the Master did not instruct us to do anything of the kind, and Swamiji asked the Mission to keep itself alooffrom such effort. That is why the Mission has been all along engaging itself in spirituality and service to humanity.

Now-a-days there are so many religious societies, but people lose all interest in them after a few days.What is the reason for this? The reason is our words are not in accord with our thoughts. The first step inreligion is to be sincere to the core.

Swami VivekanandaSwami VivekanandaSwami VivekanandaSwami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda(1863 - 1902)

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) was the foremost disciple of SriRamakrishna and a worldspokesperson for Vedanta. He was aman with a great spiritual presence andtremendous intellect. During his travelsall over India, Swami Vivekananda wasdeeply moved to see the appallingpoverty and backwardness of themasses. He was the first religious leaderin India to understand and openlydeclare that the real cause of India’sdownfall was the neglect of the masses. The immediate need was to providefood and other bare necessities of lifeto the hungry millions. For this theyshould be taught improved methods ofagriculture, village industries, etc. It wasin this context that Vivekanandagrasped the crux of the problem ofpoverty in India. His lectures, writings,letters, and poems are published as TheComplete Works of SwamiVivekananda.

Swami Vivekananda representedHinduism at the first World Parliamentof Religions in Chicago in 1893 wherehe was an instant success. Subsequently he was invited to speak all over America and Europe. Most of theVedanta Societies, which were founded in America and Europe through the 1930s, can trace their originsdirectly to Vivekananda or the people who heard him speak from 1893 through 1900. After his first visit to theWest, Swami Vivekananda returned to India and founded the Ramakrishna Order in 1898.

Some teachings of Swami Vivekananda

Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man.

We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect isexpanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.

Page 9

Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you thinkyourselves strong, strong you will be.

Teach yourselves, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes.Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent willcome when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.

They alone live who live for others; rest are more dead than alive.

Swamijis birthday, according to English Calendar, is on 12th January and is celebrated as the NationalYouth Day all over the country. In 1984, the Government of India declared and decided to observe theBirthday of Swami Vivekananda as National Youth Day. To quote from the Government of India’sCommunication, ‘it was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked couldbe a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth.’

As per the Indian Almanac, Vivekananda Jayanti will be celebrated at the Ramakrishna Math on 26th

January 2011.

Swami TuriyanandaSwami TuriyanandaSwami TuriyanandaSwami TuriyanandaSwami Turiyananda(1863 - 1922)

A few people, there are, who appear to livein this world, but do not really belong here. SwamiTuriyananda was one of them. Born in a religiousfamily, of Brahmana parents, on the 3rd of January1863 (just nine days earlier to the advent of SwamiVivekananda), Harinath Chattopadhyaya (hispremonastic name) was given to much orthodoxobservances even in his younger days. An innatedesire for liberation in this very life, kindled by thestudy of Vedantic works, brought him to SriRamakrishna. The Master through his deep spiritualinsight and all-encompassing love, quickly won hisheart. Not only that, he soon discovered anddestroyed two unhealthy trends in his personality— abhorrence of womankind and excessive relianceon self-effort.

After accepting the monastic robes and vows,Harinath became ‘Swami Turiyananda’. Hisorthodox mental makeup made him undertake longand arduous journeys as an itinerant monk, andpractice severe austerities as also study of thescriptures. Though he had great love and respectfor Swami Vivekananda, he was at first averse to active missionary work. But, Swamiji’s love melted his heart.He accompanied Swamiji to the United States and worked there for about three years. The Shanti Ashrama inCalifornia was practically his creation.

After returning to India he spent his days mostly in austerity and in training the younger generation ofmonks. His burning spirit of renunciation, deep faith in the Divine Mother, and insight into the intricacies of thescriptures left an indelible impression on everyone that came into contact with him. His fortitude and the controlhe could exercise over his body, were astonishing.

He left the body on the 21st July 1922.

Teachings

Never pride yourself on your having gained control over the passions. If you do, they will at once raisetheir heads. Ever pray to Him, ‘O Lord, save me from them’.

Nothing short of complete self-surrender to Him will do. You call Him the Inner Controller (Antharyamin),omniscient, omnipresent, and yet you are afraid to surrender yourself to Him!

Never expect anything from anyone. But always give. Otherwise a sense of dryness will overtake you.But you must not give your mind to anyone. That you must give only to God.

Work done in the spirit of service can lead one as surely to the goal as meditation and japa.

REPORT

- Dr. Sumita Roy

It is a rare good fortune to worship the holy feet of the Beloved Mother who was worshippedby Sri Ramakrishna himself. Such an opportunity comes every year during the anniversary ofher birth which according to the Indian calendar was on Monday 27th December 2010 thisyear. The celebrations were organized with great spiritual fervor by Ramakrishna Math and anunprecedented number of devotees took part in the day-long programs in spite of it being aworking day. For the Mother’s love people seem to be willing to make any sacrifice.

The Mother did japa every morning much before dawn—the fortunate few who could reachthe Math temple at 5.30 on this cold winter morning were warmed up by an hour’s mediation.At 6.30 am the temple parikrama began amid the melodious chants of the names of Mother,Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda by Revered Jnanadanandaji—Adhyaksha Maharaj ofour Hyderabad Math. A beautifully decorated chariot took the Mother round the temple thriceaccompanied by her monk children, brahmachari children and householder children. All wereimmersed in a joy indescribable to be able to dance in front of the Mother and walk alongwith her. Swami Gauranganandaji and Bodhamayananadaji were in the forefront of the danceand Anupamanandaji accompanied them round the chariot. Male devotees also danced roundthe Senior Swamijis standing at a spot. After all, to the devotees each of the monks is a livingrepresentation of the Mother herself.

After Prasad breakfast and gifts of small booklets based on the Mother’s injunctions on Japaand Meditation presented to all the devotees by the Adhyaksha Maharaj, puja began in thetemple. Alongside this bhanjans and chantings were in progress by Swami Gauranganandaji,Bodhamayananadaji and Anupamanandaji. The homa was performed with ritualistic purity andtotal devotion by Swami SamShuddhanandaji.

Revered Jnanadanandaji Maharaj presented a very innovative biography of the Mother in Teluguin the form of a song based on the tune of folk traditions highlighting some of the salientfeatures of the Mother’s unique life and lila. Then he also spoke in English about the Mother’s“comprehensive motherhood” which did not consider dualities or distinctions—between richand poor, good and bad, high and low, human and animal or on the bases of caste, religion,education, status etc. He also released a book in Telugu on one of the eight principal Upanishadsand a CD based on the Residential Youth Camp of this year on Excellence through Leadership.

After this Swami Raghunayakanandaji spoke in Telugu about the human and divine aspects ofthe Mother. He said when we think of her as divine we venerate her but when we take herhuman aspect into consideration we need to compare ourselves to her traits and strive tobecome like her. The morning program ended with a special arati to Mother and distributionof Prasad lunch.

Page 12

In the evening after the arati to Sri Ramakrishna and Mother in the main temple, the muchawaited program of bhajans in the puja mandapam enthralled and energized all those presentand the day ended in a manner which will live in memory for a long time and help everyoneattain to spiritual excellence.
