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:
“If your letters are as long as the bible, they will appear short to me. Only let them be brim full of affection.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
