Kalpataru Day
The Kalpataru, it is said, gives to all whatever good or bad they ask for; but Sri Ramakrishna did not
do so. He made clear through that event, the fact of his being a God-man (Avatar) by bestowing on all, without
the slightest discrimination, protection against and freedom from fear.

It was the first day of January

1886. As the Master felt rather well that
day, he expressed a desire to come out
of his room at Cossipore Garden and
have a walk in the garden for sometime.
It was a holiday and householder
devotees came one by one. When the
Master came downstairs at three in the
afternoon, more than thirty people were
engaged in conversation in the garden
under the trees. As soon as they saw
him, all got up out of reverence and
bowed down to him. Master addressed
Girish, one of the householder
devotees, and said “Girish, you say to
one and all everywhere so many things about me (that I am an incarnation of God), what have you seen and
understood about me, that you do so?” Girish kneeling down on the ground near the Master’s feet, said in a
choked voice with his hands folded and face turned upwards, “What more can I say of Him, whose greatness
Vyasa and Valmiki could not find words to express?” The Master was charmed at this utterance of the devoted
Girish and blessed all the devotees assembled there “May you all be blessed with spiritual awakening.” Beside
himself with love and compassion for the devotees, hardly had he said those few words when he entered into
Bhavasamadhi (deep meditation). Those words of profound blessing directly entered the devotees’ hearts and
filled them with bliss. They forgot time and space, and were aware only that out of sympathy for them in their
plight, an extraordinary Divine Being, feeling excruciating pain at their misery had come down to them from
heaven and called them affectionately to Him for giving protection, like a mother sheltering her children against
all ills.

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

Swami Saradananda
(1865 - 1927)

Sharat Chandra Chakravarti was born

at Calcutta in a rich and orthodox Brahmin
family. He and Shashi, who later became Swami
Ramakrishnananda, were not only cousins and
family friends but also studied together at the
Metropolitan College of Calcutta. The first
contact of the two cousins with Sri Ramakrishna
during October 1883 — was a turning point in
their lives. Friendship with Narendranath
(Swami Vivekananda) gave a further fillip to their
spiritual and monastic aspirations. Sharat, who
was an adept in serving the sick, both by
temperament and by experience, was one of
the few important disciples of Sri Ramakrishna
who nursed him during his fatal illness. After his
passing away, Sharat too joined the select band
of monastics under the leadership of Narendra
and became ‘Swami Saradananda’.

While in ecstasy Sri Ramakrishna’s

behavior would often be mysterious. One day
in such a mood, he sat on the lap of a young
man, Sharat Chandra by name, and remarked,
‘I was testing how much weight he could bear’. This Sharat Chandra who was later known as ‘Swami
Saradananda’ 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, when
he 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 Medical
College. But when Ramakrishna became fatally ill, Sarat at once abandoned his medical studies in order to
nurse 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 displayed
in the midst of various dangers. On one occasion, when he was travelling by carriage in the mountains of
Kashmir, the horse took fright and bolted down a steep slope; he was saved from disaster only because the
carriage was stopped by a tree. Saradananda got out just a moment before the horse was killed by a great
rock 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 another
occasion, Saradananda was coming up the Ganges by boat with one of the devotees when a violent windstorm
arose. The boat seemed likely to sink, but the Swami never stopped puffing away at his hookah. His aplomb
irritated 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 there
and 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 and
Saradananda sailed for New York, where he remained, as the head of Vedanta Society, until his return in India
in 1898. He later became the first secretary of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission and held this office until his
death in 1927.

Like his other monastic brothers, Swami Saradananda also spent a few years as an itinerant monk
practicing severe austerities. However, when Swami Vivekananda called him for continuing his work in the
West, Saradananda went to London first and later to New York for the same. While he was proving to be a
great success in the West, especially due to his spiritual attainments, he was recalled to India in 1898 by Swami
Vivekananda 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 to
emulate, 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 doing
so, 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 that
even the rudest of men would melt into submission. Equanimity and cool-headedness, even under very trying
circumstances, 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 for
the magazine and a home for the Holy Mother. It was to pay off the debts incurred in building of this house that
Saradananda began to write his articles which formed his Ramakrishna the Great Master (called in Bengali Sri
Sri Ramakrishna Lilaprasanga ). It was typical of him that he demanded no special privacy for himself while he
engaged in this enormous task. Sitting cross-legged at a low desk in a tiny room, with the chatter of visitors all
around him, he worked away with perfect concentration, breaking off, whenever necessary, to attend to some
administrative detail.

Saradananda continued his work on the Ramakrishna biography until the death of the Holy Mother in
1920. After that, he seemed to lose all desire to finish it; and this is why an account of the last days of the
Ramakrishna is missing from the book. Instead, Swami busied himself in arrangements for the building of a
temple 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 took
ill 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 knowledge
and devotion in it.

Whatever work stands in the way of God-realization and increases discontent is bad work. You should
wholly 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 aloof
from 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 in
religion is to be sincere to the core.

Swami Vivekananda
(1863 - 1902)

Swami Vivekananda (1863-

1902) was the foremost disciple of Sri
Ramakrishna and a world
spokesperson for Vedanta. He was a
man with a great spiritual presence and
tremendous intellect. During his travels
all over India, Swami Vivekananda was
deeply moved to see the appalling
poverty and backwardness of the
masses. He was the first religious leader
in India to understand and openly
declare that the real cause of India’s
downfall was the neglect of the masses.
The immediate need was to provide
food and other bare necessities of life
to the hungry millions. For this they
should be taught improved methods of
agriculture, village industries, etc. It was
in this context that Vivekananda
grasped the crux of the problem of
poverty in India. His lectures, writings,
letters, and poems are published as The
Complete Works of Swami
Vivekananda.

Swami Vivekananda represented

Hinduism at the first World Parliament
of Religions in Chicago in 1893 where
he was an instant success. Subsequently he was invited to speak all over America and Europe. Most of the
Vedanta Societies, which were founded in America and Europe through the 1930s, can trace their origins
directly to Vivekananda or the people who heard him speak from 1893 through 1900. After his first visit to the
West, 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 is
expanded, 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 think
yourselves 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 will
come 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 National
Youth Day all over the country. In 1984, the Government of India declared and decided to observe the
Birthday of Swami Vivekananda as National Youth Day. To quote from the Government of India’s
Communication, ‘it was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could
be 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 Turiyananda
(1863 - 1922)

A few people, there are, who appear to live

in this world, but do not really belong here. Swami
Turiyananda was one of them. Born in a religious
family, of Brahmana parents, on the 3rd of January
1863 (just nine days earlier to the advent of Swami
Vivekananda), Harinath Chattopadhyaya (his
premonastic name) was given to much orthodox
observances even in his younger days. An innate
desire for liberation in this very life, kindled by the
study of Vedantic works, brought him to Sri
Ramakrishna. The Master through his deep spiritual
insight and all-encompassing love, quickly won his
heart. Not only that, he soon discovered and
destroyed two unhealthy trends in his personality
— abhorrence of womankind and excessive reliance
on self-effort.
After accepting the monastic robes and vows,
Harinath became ‘Swami Turiyananda’. His
orthodox mental makeup made him undertake long
and arduous journeys as an itinerant monk, and
practice severe austerities as also study of the
scriptures. Though he had great love and respect
for 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 in
California was practically his creation.
After returning to India he spent his days mostly in austerity and in training the younger generation of
monks. His burning spirit of renunciation, deep faith in the Divine Mother, and insight into the intricacies of the
scriptures left an indelible impression on everyone that came into contact with him. His fortitude and the control
he 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 raise
their 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.

Sri Sri Sarada Devi Jayanti Utsavam - 2010

REPORT

- Dr. Sumita Roy

It is a rare good fortune to worship the holy feet of the Beloved Mother who was worshipped
by Sri Ramakrishna himself. Such an opportunity comes every year during the anniversary of
her birth which according to the Indian calendar was on Monday 27th December 2010 this
year. The celebrations were organized with great spiritual fervor by Ramakrishna Math and an
unprecedented number of devotees took part in the day-long programs in spite of it being a
working 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 reach
the 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 of
our Hyderabad Math. A beautifully decorated chariot took the Mother round the temple thrice
accompanied by her monk children, brahmachari children and householder children. All were
immersed in a joy indescribable to be able to dance in front of the Mother and walk along
with her. Swami Gauranganandaji and Bodhamayananadaji were in the forefront of the dance
and Anupamanandaji accompanied them round the chariot. Male devotees also danced round
the Senior Swamijis standing at a spot. After all, to the devotees each of the monks is a living
representation of the Mother herself.

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

Revered Jnanadanandaji Maharaj presented a very innovative biography of the Mother in Telugu
in the form of a song based on the tune of folk traditions highlighting some of the salient
features 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 rich
and 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 Upanishads
and 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 of
the Mother. He said when we think of her as divine we venerate her but when we take her
human aspect into consideration we need to compare ourselves to her traits and strive to
become like her. The morning program ended with a special arati to Mother and distribution
of Prasad lunch.
 Page 12

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