RULES TO WALK IN LIFE : Sushil Rudra " Mukang Karoti Vachalam Pongung langhaote Girim Tat KripaTamohanVande ParomanandaMadhavam – Gita” " Day after day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face. With folded hands , O lord of all worlds, shall I stand beforethee face to face.Under thy great sky in solitude and silence , with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.In this laborious world of thine , tumultuous with toil and with struggle, among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face.And when my work shall be done in this world , O King of kings , alone and speechless shall I stand before thee face to face. ” –Rabindranath We are going to discuss about some rules which are to be strictly followed by the people who are interested in searching for light and to divinity already within us . If we think seriously about our spiritual life keeping aloof worldly activities , we couldn’t able to continue to practice or performing puja to God as we are not a monk . Being a common man we can’t spend all the time in practicing the worship of God . It’s our utmost tendency to make ends meet for our family . We generally think that it’s not possible for a man to practice worship during our earthly activities .We have to work for our livelihood . But at the same time we have to continue our spiritual growth through our regular works . According to practical Vedanta , each and every work is the Puja of God . If we seriously perform it , then we are worshiping the God , all works are to be meant for the service of God . Here I shall tell an anecdote which I have experienced in my student life. I was then the student of the University of Calcutta , pursuing Post graduation. Generally Saturday and Sunday were our holidays. Occasionally I used to visit Narendrapur Ramkrishna Mission at Narendrapur near Kolkata ( then Calcutta) . There stayed my Emiritus Professor in Karmi Bhawan. Swami Lokesharananda was then the Secretary of the mission . One Sunday, at 8.30 am in the morning I reached there . While I was taking my tiffin in dining room , a senior man was also there . I came to know that his son recently has joined as a Bramhachari in Ramkrishna order. Coming here he noticed that his son is busy to cutting a big pumpkin in the kitchen. After a while , he went to Secretary Maharaj and said , ” Swamiji, why my son is cutting vegetables here ? If he wishes to do it , can do it in his home . Why it’s needed to becoming a monk ? ” Swami Lokeshwaranandaji smilingly replied : Yes , he could . But here all the Monks & Brahmhcharis are working in the name of God. Some are teaching in schools and colleges , some are providing medicine to the poor people, some are busy with the farming and they’re doing all these activities with meticulously as a service to God . They left their home for renunciation. ” Atmano mokhsartam Jagat Dhitai cha “. So their ultimate goal is to serve the larger humanity . Life is nothing but a platform for struggle . We have to fight here , but we forget this being wrapped in with the glistening to the worldly pleasures. According to Swami Vivekananda , life is all about struggle. From beginning to end – it’s an endless and continuous struggle of a being against circumstances tending to press it down ‘. This unending struggle, this incessant battle is what Swami Vivekananda characterizes as the ” divine worship”. In his poem ” And Let Shyama Dance There ” he wrote about this struggle :Unceasing battle is indeed the worship of the Divine (Mother Kali) . / Let not continuous defeat in this battle unnerve thee all./ Pulverised, pounded be all selfcenterness ,/ base cravings and vain self – esteem. / The heart be thus made the cremation ground; / And let Shyama Dance There. * Read my another post on the ” And Let Shyama Dance There” poem where I have elaborately expressed this .Tagore’s song of ‘Geetanjali‘ which I quoted at the beginning is significantly speaks similar to Swamiji’s conception about life .So how can we overcome all these hurdles? We should think that the battle of Kurukhetra is obviously a historical incident which was held in the field of Kurukhetra in between Pandabas And Kauraba . Its have a historical values , but at the same time, it has a deep significant in our lives- journey. In course of our life journey we have been always battling against the evils , selfcenterness, negativity , greediness, and hundreds of like this. It’s a tough battle . This battle has been consistently and continuously going on within our conscience between good and evil.So, how could we fight against this ? What should be our strategy ? Sree Krishna preached in Gita when Arjun denied to fight against his relatives – ‘Oshsrupurnakulekhanam’ – Arjun in deep grief and melancholy – ‘Bishwidantam ‘. Sribhagobanubacho: “ Kutasthwa Kashmalmidang Biswame Somupasthitam’ – kashmal means sin , cowardness , weakness . Our religion never shelter weakness. Never indulge cowardness . Sri krishna asks to Arjun , why are you repenting ? – ‘Bisame Somupasthitam‘ . Just it’s ( battle) beginning and in the eve of it , you are repenting ! Anauryajusthamsargam “. – it’s not appropriate to a warrior . Anarya means ignorance . Arya means civilized , sobar , benign , wise and intelligent .Hi Arjun! You are not unwise , not stupid . He who unwise and stupid, he can refuse to battle . Next inspiring to Arjun, Bhagawan told – ‘Akirtikaram’. You have a great name as an warrior . If you don’t proceed to fight , your honour, familiarity as a hero would have been wiped out . Why are you annoying to fight ? ” Kloibyang Masyasma Gamah Partha “. – Partha ! Please listen to me, Kloibyang – you don’t indulge weakness, unmanliness, timidity. It’s not proper descision. Noitat To-i Upopoddyote . It’s improper to you. You are a Hero . “Khudrang Hridayadyourbollang Tyaktwya ” – remove your fear . Kick out all these weakness . You defeated so many great warriors in the battlefield. ” Uttisthato Jaggrato Prappyo Baran Nibedhato “. Awoke and arise. Let go to fight . “Parantapo” – who got victory against enemies. You have fighted against so many enemies and won the battle. Now why you’re unsteady to face battlefield. This weakness is not praisable. It’s a shame ! It doesn’t fit to you.Arjun then told : “Rudhio Prodigdhan ” – that means : I don’t want to sit on the King’s throne by dint of bloods .It’s to be continued # 'The Gospel of Swami Vivekananda and Inspired Talks ' # Swami Vivekananda and Narada Sutra # Kabita And Me # Let Set Go # The Origin and Development Of Durga Puja # Swami Vivekananda as a Poet # The Gospel of Swami Vivekananda # The Inspired Talks : The Gospel of Swami Vivekananda How to overcome depression.

এখন শরৎ । – শিশিরের শব্দের মত শিউলি ফুলের সুবাস জড়িয়ে ধরে রাখে আমাকে সেই ফেলে আসা দিনের মতো আষ্টেপৃষ্টে । আমার ছেলেবেলার ফেলে আসা দিনগুলো প্রতি মূহুর্তের সঙ্গী হয়ে ছায়ার মতো ঘিরে ধরে আমাকে , আমি যেদিকে যাই , সেও চলে আমার পাশে পাশে , আমি নীরব হলে সেও নীরব হয়ে থাকে , অপেক্ষা করে আমার চারপাশে । নীরবে , নিঃশব্দে দেশি-বিদেশি ফুলের সৌরভ নিয়ে ভরিয়ে দিতে চায় , আমিও ভেসে ভেসে পৌঁছে যায় অবগাহন করার সুখ শান্তির আশায়।তারা আসে বাতাসে ছড়িয়ে দিয়ে ভোরের সৌরভ , শিউলির সুবাস , আগমনীর রঙ ও রাংতার সুন্দর আবেশ নিয়ে , – সব রোগ ভোগ দুঃখ কষ্ট মহামারী কে দূরে নিক্ষেপ করে সপাটে , খেদিয়ে দেয় সাত সমুদ্রের তীরে , ওপারে ।মায়ের আগমনে ধরিত্রী হয়ে ওঠে সুন্দর। মধুময় । নব নব সংগীতে ভরে ওঠে প্রাণ । রুপোলি চাঁদের আলোয় গোটা আকাশ কখন যে জায়গা জুড়ে বসে আমার হৃদয় মাঝে আমারই মনের অগোচরে , আমি বুঝতেই পারি না, এই শারদ সকালে এক ঝুড়ি সুবাস জড়িয়ে তার পরশে অনুভব করি আমার শৈশবের ফেলে আসা দিনগুলোকে ।
এখনো আমি আমার শৈশবে ফিরে যাই , আর ফিরে গিয়েঅনুভব করি এখনও যেন কাশফুলের কোমল পুচ্ছ গুলো হাওয়ায় দুলে ওঠে , মৃন্ময়ী মা আগের মতোই চিন্ময়ী হয়ে ওঠে , বাতাসে ভেসে আসে আগমনীর সুর সেই আগের মতই , ঢাকের বাজনাও সেই আগের মতই রোমাঞ্চকর মনে হয় । সব দুঃখ প্রশমিত হয় এক মূহুর্তে , আমার অগোচরে পৃথিবী আলোয় আলোকিত হয়ে যায় , সব ঝড় যায় থেমে মা গৌরী এলে ।
This is a white board where I want to decorate some gems of words which I have received from Indian culture and from spiritual wealth of ancient sages . I have been trying here to depict the critical life journey of a village boy who in course of time and actions walks from native village to town and then one city to another in India for enjoying to have education, service and livelihood through a jig jugway . I have experienced a lot , good or bad, but was enriched and try to enlightening myself . In my boyhood days I was not shy or shaky, but vibrant. Perhaps I wasn’t bold and haven’t healthy physique, but everyday I used to go high school in a remote village by walking which was 4 kilometres away from my home. There’s river Ganga ( Bhagirathi) in between our village and the village where the school is situated. After returning home in afternoon and getting somefoods I regularly joined in the football or cricket team to play minimum one to one and half hours. We had to return home before dusk . From 7 to 9.30 pm was our reading time . At 9.30 it’s dinner time. Generally we have no task afterwards. Sometime we used to play indoor games Ludu with my elder brother or sister. But on the eve of half yearly or final exam we were to continue our studying after dinner. We had to get up at 4.30/5.00 O’clock in the morning for revision our study material for preparation. During holidays sometimes we used to sing music in our Boithakkhana along with my elder brother’s friend. Sometime we have played Ha du du , Nunthari , Badminton and also freehand exercise with Yogasana. We enjoyed a lot during our Durgapuja festival. Everyday I used to visit Durga Mandir to see the mud built statues of the deities. I also then used to collect Shiuli flowers.
I have been shifted to our town house for college education. There was no college near to our village home . Now there’s a college. From then I have spent almost all the time in Berhampore Murshidabad. After graduatingfrom Krishnath College, I studied in The University of Calcutta for post graduation and Ph.D . Almost 5/6 years I had to spend in Calcutta ( now Kolkata) in West Bengal. Here I want to express some words about my health. I wasn’t sound health during this period. I was brunt severely with hot oil accidentally just before part one Honours degree exam . And was being admitted to hospital for treatment. From then I was not stable at all. However, I have got my M. A and Ph.D digress without any break. Just one year after I was posted in a college as a guest professor for some months. But it wasn’t permanent job. Then after some months I have been given a service as faculty member at Krishnath College in lien vacancy . But the employee didn’t return there as he was selected for Principal post somewhere in Bengal. So I was given the vacant post . There I have been teaching for 33 years . Next I had to take a service in the department of English of Rajasthan Technical University as a guest professor and at the same time I have furnished my duty as an Associate Professor in English department at Dr. Modi Engineering College in Kota. I went there for my daughter, Sumedha’s coaching purpose andStayedtwo years in Kota. Returning Bengal, I decided to stay in Durgapur City in West Bengal for my daughter’s higher education. In the meantime, I have retired from my service. After that I have taken a service in a B.Ed college as a Principal. It’s 20 km away from Durgapur City . I was there for sometime. When I have abled to manage a service near to my present resident I took resignation from the service of Principal. At present I am furnishing my small duty as a guest professor in Michael Mashusudan Memorial College in Durgapur. I want to live here with some works .
Writing is my one of the hobbies. I authored 12 books and it has been published from Kolkata publishing company. Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore both are my subjects of discussion. I am very fond of music. I can sing Rabindranath Sangeet and Bengali modern songs. I am also foodie. I love sweets, misti doi and Hilsa fish. Dislike meats. Like travelling, blogging , debets and listening music. I am a father of a beautiful daughter . My spouse, Santa has been brought up here in this Steel City, Durgapur. We do some social works and practice Homeopathy also .
