His Letters
His invaluable advice and directives are found in plenty in His numerous letters written to His various disciples. His followers and common people cutting across nationalities and religions would surely be enlightened in terms of familial and spiritual aspects with the help of His advice and sermons. After Thakur's departure from this mortal world, His 808 letters relevant to our day-to-day life were compiled and published in three volumes entitled Vedavani by Dr. Indubhushan Bandyopadhyay, former Ashutosh Professor of Calcutta University. None of these letters contains a single word that can hurt somebody or someone's belief. These letters can be helpful for someone eager to enter the Path of Infinite glee and joy. He said "Follow your destiny. Keep faith in Him. Take refuge at the feet of Satyanarayana. People irrespective of nationality, religion or mental formation are parts of one single community - human community. Each and everyone can reach His feet if his/her religion is followed with love for truth and sincerity." On a certain occasion He said "What's wrong with an atheist? The essential motto should be to remain honest and preserve unadulterated belief and conviction." Thakur said in “Vedavani “ that nothing will remain only “Naam” will be there. He insisted that to patiently take Naam is the only path. Naam is like a small dot in a circle, in the initial stages. Gradually by continuous (“Ananyacheta”) remembering of Naam the dot becomes bigger. Naam is the living God.

Famous quotes containing the word letters:
“There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knolwedge, Grammatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In one instance, we understood that a woman was the post- mistress, and they said that she made the best one on the road; but we suspected that the letters must be subjected to a very close scrutiny there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
