Thakur Anukulchandra - Philosophy and Teachings

Philosophy and Teachings

According to Sri Sri Thakur the purpose of our life is Ishwarprapti, to attain mastery over every aspect of our life, character and everything, so we become like a dew-drop reflecting the light of the sun of our life - The Supreme Father, the Lord of all Lords. The pillars of life and growth, according to him, are Jajan, Jaajan, Ishtabhriti, Swastayani and Sadachar. The way to ensure that good souls tread the world, as he stressed, are: Diksha (Initiation), Shiksha (Education) and Vivaha (marriage) done according to the way of the natural laws of the Supreme Father. He gives detailed instruction in his books and verses as to how to conduct oneself in life.

As is seen from the lives of all previous prophets, he did not need to "set up" an organization; the organization evolved around him spontaneously as one would expect lush greenery to sprout around a source of water. Schools, charitable hospitals, engineering workshops, a publishing house, and a printing press came up. Never did he need to write a book by hand except one—Satyanusaran ("The Pursuit of Truth"), but this was only a letter to one of his disciples, Atulchandra. However, conversations of various people with Sri Sri Thakur were recorded, and his sayings were compiled. His message relating to the well-being of mankind were published in various volumes in English and Bengali. Among these compilations are:

• Satyanusaran
