About Me

My photo
Morgantown, West Virginia, United States
As a visionary person, I can realize what will happen next. Answers come from inner soul during meditation. I believe that I am a time traveler. Sometimes, I am a son, a brother, a friend, a student, and a loving husband. Text books have shaped my scientific and artistic views, my passion to study history, novel, politics, and philosophy, create me an introspective person. The distress of life made me a retrospective person. The teachings of Vivekananda and Vedanta have figured my wisdom and views. This life is a chapter of an unknown book. However, I believe that the book also has a joyous conclusion. The happy ending of the traveler may be the happy beginning of something that nobody knows. I have a dream; the divine infinite will call me one day to go back to my home. Now I am waiting for that moment. The chapter of the traveler will finish one day but this blog will tell the story of the traveler to the future being.

মাটির দেহ


মানব দেহ মাটির ভান্ড,
ভাঙ্গলে হবে লন্ডভন্ড,
ভাঙ্গলে যে আর জোড়া লাগে না.....
এই মানব দেহের গৌরব কর না ।

বেলা ডুবলে হবে রাতি,
সঙ্গে নাই মোর সঙ্গের সাথী,
এই ভবনদী হবে না মোর পার...
এই মানব জন্মের গৌরব কর না ।

টাকা পয়সা ভিটা বাড়ি,
জীবন গেলে রবে পরি,
সঙ্গের সাথী কেউতো হবে না...
এই ময়ুরপেখম ধারণ করো না ।

English Lyrics of Ebar tor Mara Gange Ban Echese... ! by Rabindra Nath Tagore


The flood at last has come down upon your dry river bed !
Cry for the progress,
Cut the cortege,
Launch the boat.

Take your oars, my Comrades!
Your debt has grown heavy,
For you have spent idle days of the lending,
Hesitating to buy and so!

Pull up the anchor,
Set the sail,

Let happen what may!

What is Atheism?

What an atheist think !
Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity, which implies that nothing exists but natural phenomena (matter), that thought is a property or function of matter, and that death irreversibly and totally terminates individual organic units. This definition means that there are no forces, phenomena, or entities which exist outside of or apart from physical nature, or which transcend nature, or are “super” natural, nor can there be. Humankind is on its own.

The following definition of atheism was given to the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Murray v. Curlett, 374 U.S. 203, 83 S. Ct. 1560, 10 L.Ed.2d (MD, 1963), to remove reverential Bible reading and oral unison recitation of the Lord's Prayer in the public schools:
“Your petitioners are atheists and they define their beliefs as follows. An atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An atheist believes that heaven is something for which we should work now – here on earth for all men together to enjoy.


An atheist believes that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it, and enjoy it.


An atheist believes that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment.


He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man.


He wants an ethical way of life. He believes that we cannot rely on a god or channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter.


He believes that we are our brother's keepers and are keepers of our own lives; that we are responsible persons and the job is here and the time is now.”

'Killing one human is killing whole humanity' versus 'killing human in the name of Religion'


Ancient Indian Map 
It is only 2400yrs ago, when Alexander had reached the other side of Indus River, his attention turned him to ask his Persian wife, ‘Roxana’ and other Persian soldier, ‘who lives across the river?’ Persian replied ‘Hindu’ lives across the river.  Persian and Arab also popularized to the west by calling it ‘Al-Hind’. Literally ‘Hindu’ was a secular word used to mean all inhabitants across the Sindhu river, later it was popularized by Greek by saying ‘India’ – a concept of geographical location bound by hills, rivers, sea and forest ; a geographical map from today’s Pakistan to Myanmar’. At around 2300yrs ago, Asoka the great adopted Buddhism philosophy and propagated India’s rich culture and philosophy to the world. There is a parable that Buddhist separated from mainstream Vedic followers far later of Asoka’s period. Later, Turks invaded this land at around 12th century and introduced a great philosophy called Islam and they incorporated the philosophy with local culture. Then Mughals came by defeating Sultanate at 1st Panipath battle and introduced Persian language and architecture along with more moderate Islam. At 17th century British established its colony in India and integrated western philosophy and culture with India’s rich religious and cultural heritage. When Islam came, a certain section of lower caste Hindus embraced Islam to get rid of atrocities by higher caste, some high class Hindus embraced Islam to get good ranks in Mughal Empire, others embraced Islam due to Sufi influenced and a certain section of Hindus were forced to embrace Islam by Delhi sultanate or Mughals. During British period, similarly some lower caste Hindus embraced Christianity due to violent upper caste people, others adopted it to get some materialistic advantages, but a section of people become Christian to get divine grace of Lord Jesus Christ, one of my most loving character. British colonial brought Christianity along with science, technology and above all gave a modern map of this land. At 1947, India was partitioned based on religion – India for Hindu and Pakistan for Muslim. The idea of partition was mainly driven by a majority section of Muslims who didn’t want to stay with Hindus. However, a section of Muslim under Moulana Abul Kalam Azad chooses to live with Hindus. Within 24 yrs of partition, the idea of Pakistan was shattered when East Pakistan wanted to separate from Pakistan due to economic and cultural oppression of West Pakistan. The foundation of Bangladesh was secular, non-communal, cultural and democratic principles. People who didn’t want these ideas of new nation had opposed to liberate this new nation. Most of them migrated or flew to Pakistan. Therefore, Muslims who don’t want to share Bangladesh should migrate to Pakistan, similarly, the Hindus who don’t want to stay with Muslim, should migrate to India.

 Interestingly, if we synthesize all the historical facts, it wouldn’t be wrong to summarize, ‘the same people of this land have incorporated Islamic culture, architecture, cuisine as well as western culture, science, logic and religion with their own culture, cuisine, language and customs’.  However they fail to maintain philosophical harmony because of religious arrogance, egotism and power, though sharing same blood, common ancestors and so on.

The conflict of two major religions:

The major religion of Bangladesh is Islam – the second largest in the world, the minor religion of Bangladesh is Hinduism – the third largest in the world. 87% of Bangladesh believes in monotheism, 12.5% of Bangladesh believes in pantheism (source: CIA – the world fact book). One has originated in Arabian land, another one had evolved in its soil for centuries. However, the ancestral cultures make the bridge between them irrespective of their different beliefs. But some religious radicals who don’t practice any religion properly have misguided the mass. Moreover, the political and government system has also instigated to violate the minor religious group. The democratic secular government has failed several times to protect the multicultural and pluralistic view of the country which was the logo of Independent Bangladesh.  To concentrate on the conflict of the religions, I want to cite like Shashi Tharoor from Swami Vivekananda words regarding philosophical conflicts: “We tend to reduce everyone else to the limits of our own mental universe and begin privileging our own ethics, morality, sense of duty and even our sense of utility. All religious conflicts arose from this propensity to judge others. If we indeed must judge at all, then it must be ‘according to his own ideal, and not by that of anyone else’. It is important, therefore, to learn to look at the duty of others through their own eyes and never judge the customs and observances of others through the prism of our own standards.”

Growing Intolerance among Educated Mob:
Hindu woman was beaten at Savar, Gajipur
Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.  A person receives education not only from school, but also from the street and home. So these three schooling system should be perfect to manifest our inner values. But if the education makes a man blind, sectarian, violent, and religious egoist, then one should abandon those educations. On contrary, I have seen the illiterate farmers, industry workers, drivers, and poor people of Bangladesh who have struggled with life. They don’t have headache for philosophy, they are very simple minded, they love their neighbor irrespective of caste, creed and religion. However, the educated gang(both from Madrasa and School system) has always used them and instigated them for violence; the educated mob used their religion to satisfy their ego, emotion and tried to control the total political atmosphere. One day, I heard from the main mosque of Chittagong, ‘Krishna did sex with his own Mami-radha’, another time, ‘ Ranju saheb, you are a practicing Muslim (Tablig), how can you be the best friend of Suman Saheb?’ , few time, ‘ Bangla will be Afghan, we will be Taliban’ and once Vice Chancellor of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) uttered before me,’ Hindus are only 10% in BUET, I can’t sanction one week durga puja holiday for entire BUET’. So the sort of people who practice these types of radical ideas and placards in street, professor’s chair, corporate chair are educated indeed. Even I am surprised to know that the banned organization – Hizboot E Tahrir was established and funded by British (UK) Bangladeshi. Therefore, if the violent sectarian ideas are carried out in Vice Chancellors office of the topmost university of a country, the bright future of that country is just a daydream indeed.

Intolerance leads to the persecution of Hindus
Execution of minority in Bangladesh
It is believed that 2.4 million Hindus were butchered by Pakistani Military in 1971. I don’t want to go in details. I don’t want to scrutinize every single communal violence against Hindus like : 11 members including a child of four days in Banskhali, Chittagong was roasted alive at 2003 by Muslim neighbor, 200 Hindu women was gang raped by Muslims in Char Fashion, Bhola in a single night (Source: The Daily Star, Nov.16, 2001). I don’t want to recall the gang rape of Sheema Chowdhury, I don’t want to remind you the pain of 80 yrs old Kamala devi, I don’t want to repeat the memory of 60 fishermen houses that ware burned down last year in Chittagong. Even I don’t want to discuss the incidents of recent Hathazari atrocities, where Madrasa students have massacred thirteen temples, Hindu houses, business shops of Hindus and their factories over two days and the media, government , security forces, police and so called liberal people were the audience. I don’t know what type of civilized country it is that has allowed such atrocities without any reason, attacking the properties of people, gang rape dwomen, and forced to leave their ancestral house etc.

I want to recall you about 1992. About 25000 houses, 3600 places of worship and 2500 commercial establishments were destroyed in Bangladesh due to severe mob attack in different districts of Bangladesh on December 6, 1992 and onwards. During this holocaust many people were killed, 1925 injured and 2600 women were raped and abducted. Many of the abducted young girls are believed to have been shipped and sold in Muslim countries in Middle East for prostitution and slavery. Property worth nearly 2000 million taka was either destroyed or looted (source UN refugee agency – Minorities at Risk project, Bangladesh and Janamejayan word press). Even, my family lost 100 acres of farming land and was forced to flee from our ancestral village.

Double Standard of Bangladeshi Media and People:
Who the fuck I am to Judge?
The most irony of so called educated people of Bangladesh is their double standard behavior. Even our print and electronic media are also biased. They have covered any single incident at Kashmir and Palestine. They feel happy to publish any single news on Gujarat riot, Babri Mosque demolition or Israeli aggression. They feel responsibility to bring out the death of any smuggler in the border. Not only media, but also so called educated patriots have serious headache for Muslims in Kashmir and Palestine and all over the world. The media will never bring out the atrocities on minority oppression in lime light instantly so that the administration feels pressure to take action. Some so called educated liberal argued that if it comes to the media, the violence may spread all over the Bangladesh. But the question is that why the media don’t think the same when they have covered the news of Gujarat riot, Babri Mosque demolition, Iraq and Afghanistan crisis, Kashmir, and Palestine?  Even, if they publish it, either it will be distorted or fictionalized. Here is the proof -  Prothom alo - 11th February' 2012: the hindu temple demolition in Chittagong .
Again I should ask the reader a question, ‘Countrymen first or Foreigner first?  If foreigner will get more preference, then the need of state is definitely inessential.  I have one more question to the reader. Isn’t this sort of patriotism the last refuge of a scoundrel?  Answer should be yes. Because, the person who shows patriotism for his ego satisfactions are definitely scoundrel.

Burning Bangladesh
A tribal still love to pray burned Buddha statue!
When I was in Bangladesh, I found a lot of mediocre educated persons who were truly lovable, who did never think like sectarians. But after coming to USA as well as looking at social media, I feel that the educated persons are becoming more communally racist than the less educated people. If Bangladesh will burn at near future, it will be for abroad Bangladeshi and so called educated radicals in the country. When I found my own countryman introduced himself to an unknown Pakistani as brother, and made a bridge of heavenly love by avoiding his own countryman, then I feel insecure of my future generation.  Moreover, the rise of few irrational, educated and radical people who wants to draw a communal constitution by giving second class status to the minority, are daggering the  heart of the existence of Bangladesh. If the trend is going on the same pace, I can see another violent rise- up of East Pakistan.

Conclusion
Future Pluralism of World Culture - My Dream
Every religion might have some sectarian ideas. The question is that whether you want to prioritize the radical ideas or humane ideas. It totally depends on your thought level. But if most of the people practice and sanction the radical ideas, then it brings curse to the whole community. If you violate the humanity in one part of the earth, the earth will take revenge on your community on the other part of the world. At last I want to finish  my write up by quoting from Swami Vivekananda – “Sectarianism, bigotry, and it's horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful Earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization, and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal”.

Patriotism: An introspective view for Bangladeshi


What is patriotism? I m confused. Is patriotism the last refuge of a scoundrel? My patriotism doesn’t make me a blind. My patriotism opens my eyes for the development of the mass. My patriotism teaches me to study myself first. Today, I am confused due to the activities of few bloggers. Because my wisdom ask me today, are you a patriot? Why do you not talk about the negativity of your colleague? BSF killed innocent people in Indo-Bangla border; you should protest against it and abandon Indian goods for a day. Both my brains and hearts condemned the border killing. But abandon Indian goods for a day, makes me predicament. Because my experiences tell me it is a wrong idea; my wisdom tell me to find out a way to make it for years. But the question is that how can we make it years? By not feeding our own people? By stopping industrial production? Or the total movement is just a political game? All those mess push me to write something to share with audiences.

From my professional experiences in supply chain and SME business development sector, I get to know that Bangladesh lacks enough resources. Today I will share some of my experiences. Today I will discuss only two experiences.

I would have some experiences on Textile Industry. Bangladesh can meet only 2% of its raw cotton consumption. The garments industry contributes about 80% of our GDP that totally depends on cotton bale and spinning industry. About 98% of total cotton consumptions are imported mostly from India and Uzbekistan. But most of the time, the planning department of textile sector choose to import cotton from India because of cost effectiveness and geographical proximity. Even, during the time of Caretaker government, the spinning industry could not support the garments industry, I, myself ordered  few tons of yarn bales to meet the demand of the garments at where I worked. The second experience: I worked in a project that has been focused on SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) development of Bangladesh. The project was funded by Asian Development Bank and collaborated with Ministry of Industry, Bangladesh. The story is on Clay Brick industry of Bangladesh. Due to infrastructure development of Bangladesh and accordingly huge demand on clay bricks lead the industry to become Auto-kiln which depends on coal and gas. The government is now trying to abolish coal based kiln for its impact on environment; but still more than 70% brick fields are run with coal and few still depend on biomass. The power generation industry and brick fields are largely depend on coal imports from India, China and Malaysia. But in reality, most of the coals are imported from India. When we talk about Fulbari Coal Industry, the so called environmentalist and communist (Leninist) started a campaign against any coal and gas mining. But the question is that do you want advancement of civilization or want a green environment? Obviously we want both. But in reality, we need to compromise green environment for development of civilization.

So my earnest request to all bloggers: please be positive, please write something to inspire the mass for capital developments so that the imports would be reduced. Why don’t government and non-government sectors take steps for cotton productions? Why don’t they take any steps to farm cattle? Why don’t they take steps to produce more crops and vegetables and spices? Why don’t take any initiatives to improve our cinema industry? Well, now let’s see what the bloggers have been written down. Blogger’s main topics are border killing, price hike, throw out Indian goods for a day, and so on. Why don’t I see a single blog that talk about our technology, resource, people and so on? Why don’t they talk about how to develop our infrastructure and technology? Why don’t they spend a single moment to write down something regarding how to produce more crops and teach that knowledge to farmers? Don’t you think most of the bloggers mislead you?

Actually, we are busy only with politics and judge everything with biased eye. We are reactive patriot, not constructive patriot. Our brain cells fulfilled with some bloody politics and agnosticism. At the end of the day, we, Bangladeshi are the loser, not the Indians.

Cognitive Exercise for better brains !

Cognitive Exercise is very important for middle age and adults, because it can alter the brain's neural circuits. It assist them to improve decision-making ability and to quicken reaction time! People can work out their brains with computers regularly. Moreover, our research on distraction of mind also proved that cognitive exercises like experience, education, quiz, computer uses and video games may improve decision making capability and hence reduce the distraction of mind. In finally, Cognitive exercise can really outrun biology !!!! Hence, it is a very emergency tool for all age group for better talents !

Devdas - An eternal story of Love

Devdas is a young man from a wealthy Bengali Brahmin family in India in the early 1900s. Paro (Parvati) is a young woman from a middle class Bengali family belonging to the “merchant” caste. The two families lived in a village in Bengal, and Devdas and Paro were childhood friends. Devdas goes away for thirteen years to live and study in a boarding school in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata). When, after finishing school, he returns to his village, Paro looks forward to their childhood love blossoming into their lifelong journey together in marriage. Of course, according to the prevailing social custom, Paro's parents would have to approach Devdas' parents and propose marriage of Paro to Devdas as Paro longed for. When Paro's mother makes the proposal to Devdas' mother, the latter insults her, plainly saying that the marriage is not possible in view of her own higher caste and financial status. To demonstrate her own social status, Paro's mother then finds an even richer husband for Paro. When Paro learns of her planned marriage, she stealthily meets Devdas at night, desperately believing that Devdas will quickly accept her hand in marriage. Devdas meekly seeks his parents' permission to marry Paro, but Devdas' father agrees with his wife. In a weak-minded state, Devdas then flees to Calcutta, and from there, he writes a letter to Paro, saying that they were only friends. Within days, however, he realizes that he should have been bolder. He goes back to his village and tells Paro that he is ready to do anything needed to save their love. By now, Paro's marriage plans are in an advanced stage, and she declines going back to Devdas and chides him for his cowardice and vacillation. She makes, however, one request to Devdas that he would return to her before he dies. Devdas vows to do so. Devdas goes back to Calcutta and Paro is married off to the betrothed widower with children, who is still in love with his previous wife and is therefore not interested in an amatory relationship with Paro. 


In Calcutta, Devdas' carousing friend, Chunnilal, introduces him to a courtesan named Chandramukhi. Devdas takes to heavy drinking at Chandramukhi's place, but the courtesan falls in love with him, and looks after him. His health deteriorates because of a combination of excessive drinking and despair of life—a drawn-out form of suicide. Within him, he frequently compares Paro and Chandramukhi, remaining ambivalent as to whom he really loves. Sensing his fast-approaching death, Devdas returns to meet Paro to fulfill his vow. He dies at her doorstep on a dark, cold night. On hearing of the death of Devdas, Paro runs towards the door, but her family members prevent her from stepping out of the door.









The novella powerfully depicts the prevailing societal customs in Bengal in the early 1900s, which are largely responsible for preventing the happy ending of a genuine love story. 




Every society has such some true love stories that dies due to social injustice, racism, social discrimination and religious objection. Due to French revolution, Scientific advances, and globalization, all those social deformation, bigotry and delinquencies are subject to justification. Don't you think that this is the right time to raise your voice against those discriminations for future humanity?

My Vivekananda and Avijit Roy's Vivekananda

Reference does a matter !:

The Mukto-mona founder Dr. Avijit Roy has published a recent article on Swami vivekananda( Vivekananda)
He found a lot of errors in Swamiji's teachings and life styles. He personally challenged a writing of Professor Kabir Chowdhury's (National Professor of Bangladesh) article on Swami Vivekananda. He tried to show that Professor Kabir Chowdhury ( swami vivekananda ) has not synthesized Swami Vivekananda well. But the reality is that Mr. Avijit roy has not read a single page from 'complete works of Swami Vivekananda' and tried to analyze vivekananda. A person publicly wants to be more learned than Professor Kabir Chowdhury !! I have no objection. I am not against criticizing Vivekananda. But if anyone misquotes, fakes and propagates some misconception and fake information on Swami Vivekananda regarding 'SatiDaho (women burning), Child marriage, animal killing, his luxurious life style'; I have to say he is doing it purposefully to get some claps from people. It is easy to be famous but it is very difficult to be respected by others. I have personally requested Mr. Avijit Roy to check his writing and rewrite the document once again. I have tried my best to request him to study Swami Vivekananda's lectures and writings. But he has not listened to me. Some of my friends asked me to debate with him what he has said. I personally don't like any form of Ku-tarka/ bad debate. In addition, if one person misquotes and gives some fake information, how can I argue with him? It is also amusing that, Mukto-mona has deleted my comments under Mr. Avijit roy's writing. What was my fault? Did I scold anyone? No... I just gave the link of Swamiji's lecture and requested the readers to check. But Mukto-mona has done some unethical and cowardice behaviors with me by deleting my comments.

I choose not to cite every single line of my writings, but I have given the reference links for Complete Volumes of Swami Vivekananda's writing as references. I am not writing this article to support or propagate his message. Rather, I would like to present my thoughts on Swami vivekananda as a fan of him, who hardly understand his message and a form of reaction to Avijit Roy's writings. Though it is not possible to get all other references in webpages (As I live in USA, it is not possible for me to collect Bengali copy of all those  other books) except the complete volume of Vivekananda and as the main discussion is on swami Vivekananda, I exalt to focus on Swami Vivekananda's Complete Volume of Works.


Now let's see what was his misquotes and what his explanation :-

As it is not possible to talk about each reference, in addition , as I am here to focus on Swami Vivekananda, So I would look at his lecture and teachings : Three References 8, 9, and 11 as for example. 
Challenge 1: Reference 8 : - ‘বাল্যবিবাহ হিন্দু জাতিকে পবিত্রতায় ভূষিত করিয়াছে’। ; Okay readers did you find anything like that? Answer is No. Now look at volume 2, what Swamiji has said , ' ...The
very same evil has been taken up by various races, and attempts have been made in various ways to check it, yet no nation has succeeded. If it has been minimised at one point, a mass of evil has been crowded at another point. Thus it goes. The Hindus, to keep up a high standard of chastity in the race, have sanctioned child-marriage, which in the long run has degraded the race. At the same time, I cannot deny that this child-marriage makes the race more chaste. What would you have? If you want the nation to be more chaste, you weaken men and women physically by child-marriage. On the other hand, are you in England any better off? No, because chastity is the life of a nation. Do you not find in history that the first death-sign of a nation has been unchastity? When that has entered, the end of the race is in sight. Where shall we get a solution of these miseries these miseries then? If parents select husbands and wives for their children, then this evil is minimised. The daughters of India are more practical than sentimental. But very little of poetry remains in their lives. Again, if people select their own husbands and wives, that does not seem to bring much
happiness. The Indian woman is generally very happy; there are not many cases of quarrelling between husband and wife. On the other hand in the United States, where the greatest liberty obtains, the number of unhappy homes and marriages is large. Unhappiness is here, there, and everywhere. What does it show? That, after all, not much happiness has been gained by all these ideals. We all struggle for happiness and as soon as we get a little happiness on one side, on the other side there comes unhappiness...." Now please tell me, where he had stated Avijit Roy's statement?


Challenge 2:

‘ বিধবাদের পুনর্বিবাহ দিলে কুমারী মেয়েদের ভাগ্যে স্বামী কম পড়ে যাবে’, এবং ‘বিধবাগনের স্বামী সংখ্যার উপর কোন জাতির ভবিষ্যৎ নির্ভর করে না’; এবং এও বলেছেন, ‘বিধবাবিবাহ আন্দোলনে শতকরা সত্তর জন ভারতীয় নারীর কোন স্বার্থই নাই’।
এ জায়গায় পাশ্চাত্য মেয়েদের প্রশংসা করে বাল্যবিবাহের বিরুদ্ধে বলছেন[10],
‘এ দেশের (আমেরিকা) স্ত্রীদের মত স্ত্রী কোথাও দেখিনি … এরা কেমন স্বাধীন। এদের মেয়েরা কি পবিত্র। ২৫-৩০ বছরের কমে কারুর বিয়ে হয় না। আর আমরা কি করি? আমার মেয়ের ১১ বৎসরে ‘বে’ না হলে খারাপ হয়ে যাবে! আমরা কি মানুষ?’
আবার পরক্ষণেই ভারতীয় মেয়েদের আকাশে তুলে আর পাশ্চাত্যের মেয়েদের যা-তা বিশেষণে বিশেষিত করে লিখেছেন[11],
ওদেশে (পাশ্চাত্যে) মেয়েদের দেখে আমার অনেক সময় স্ত্রীলোক বলেই বোধ হত না – ঠিক যেন পুরুষ মানুষ। গাড়ী চালাচ্ছে, স্কুলে যাচ্ছে, প্রফেসরি করছে। একমাত্র ভারতবর্ষেই মেয়েদের লজ্জা, বিনয় প্রভৃতি দেখে চক্ষু জুড়ায়।
বাল্যবিবাহ যে আসলে ‘স্বাভাবিক’ এবং ‘কত ভাল’, তা আমরা প্রত্যক্ষ করি বিবেকানন্দের নানা কুসংসারাচ্ছন্ন উক্তিতে, যেখানে তিনি বলছেন ‘প্রণয়বৃত্তি জাগ্রত হইবার পূর্বে বাল্যকালে’ বিয়ে দেয়া ভাল হবে, নইলে হবে ঘোর ‘অনর্থ’ [12]
কখনো কখনো শিশু বয়সেই আমাদিগকে বিবাহ দেওয়া হয়, কেননা বর্ণের নির্দেশ। মতামতের অপেক্ষা না রাখিয়াই যদি বিবাহের ব্যবস্থা করিতে, তবে প্রণয়বৃত্তি জাগ্রত হওয়ার পূর্বে বাল্যকালে বিবাহ দেয়া ভাল। যদি অল্প বয়সে বিবাহ না দিয়া ছেলেমেয়েদের স্বাধীনভাবে বাড়িতে দেয়া হয়, তবে তাহার এমন কাহারো প্রতি আসক্ত হইতে পারে, যাহাদের সহিত বিবাহ বর্ণ অনুমোদন করিবেন না। সুতরাং তাহাতে অনর্থের সৃষ্টি হইতে পারে। সুতরাং বাল্যকালে বিবাহ হইলে, বালক-বালিকার ভালবাসা রূপ-গুণের উপর নির্ভর না করিয়া স্বাভাবিক হইবে।
‘প্রণয়বৃত্তি জাগ্রত হওয়ার পূর্বে বাল্যকালে’ বিয়ে দেয়ার পরামর্শটা বিবেকানন্দের কোন হাল্কাচালে করা আপ্তবাক্য ছিলো না, ছিল চিন্তাশীল বাক্যই। আসলে মানুষের স্বাভাবিক প্রেম ভালবাসা নিয়ে তিনি ছিলেন অতিমাত্রায় শুচিবায়ুগ্রস্ত। তিনি মনে করতেন ভালবাসার বন্ধনে আবদ্ধ হয়ে কেউ বিয়ে করলে তার সন্তান নাকি হবে আসুরিক বৈশিষ্ট্য-সম্পন্ন। তিনি বলেছেন[13],
“যদি কাউকে ইচ্ছেমত পতি বা পত্নীরূপে গ্রহণের স্বাধীনতা দেওয়া যায়, যদি ব্যক্তিগত সুখ এবং পাশবপ্রবৃত্তির পরিতৃপ্তির চেষ্টা সমাজে বিস্তার লাভ করে, তার ফল নিশ্চয় অশুভ হবে- দুষ্টপ্রকৃতি, অসুর ভাবের সন্তান জন্মাবে।”
কাজেই যে স্বাধীনচেতা ছেলে মেয়েরা ইচ্ছেমত প্রেম ভালবাসা আর ডেট-এর মাধ্যমে প্রণয় কিংবা বিয়ের জন্য সঙ্গি খুঁজে নিচ্ছেন, তাঁদের এখন থেকেই আসুরিক সন্তানের আশঙ্কায় অপকর্ম থেকে নিবৃত হওয়া উচিৎ, কী বলেন।
Now it is reader's duty to check all the references to validate how Avijit Roy has misquoted from few secondary references !!!!!!!!!

Please go through all the volume and search for the keywords, 'Marriage, Woman, Child Marriage, Woman Burning, Woman, animal slaughter, so on..'. What did you find, my dear reader ???  Herewith, I would suggest to use the keywords for those who just want to look at the references , but anyone wants to read his full volume , would be appreciable. For the letters of Vivekananda, use the same techniques (use corresponding English word) at volume seven (in bengali version) and nine (in English version). If you see all the volumes like that you will be astonished how he misquoted, faked and lied. The final point is that, the English version is the original version and the Bengali version is the translation of that English version. If anyone wants to check in Bengali Version, please buy a copy from your nearest Ramakrishna Mission or Vedantic Society at Bengal. Even, you will be astonished to know how Avijit misquoted and mis-justified Vivekananda's great works.


Mukto-mona and Me:


That's a free community, where everyone can speak and everyone can share their views. But Mukto Mona has deleted my comments. My comments was just simple sharing of the links of 'Complete works of Swami Vivekananda'.


I had a great respect to Mukto-Mona. A lot of people may think that I am a blind follower of Vivekananda. Answer : No. The Mukto-mona/ free thinkers have attacked me with this cheap word 'blind follower'. But my urge is to public, don't you think that those so called free thinkers who have only believed Mukto-mona and Avijit roy's writings , are the most blind follower'; Because they have not spent a single moment to check whether Avijit Roy is correct or wrong. When we write down some scientific journal paper or any scholastic paper, we would quote from original paper , not from any secondary paper. Avijit Roy has not done his homework well. Reference from secondary paper is indeed a crime. Mr. Avijit Roy has done that crime. Because, he has misquoted and gave some fake information on Swami Vivekananda in his writing. I can confidently assert that he has not studied Vivekananda but copied the writing from some fake sources. Herewith, I have given the links of Swamiji's writings and earnestly request the audience to check every single reference.

[Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda (Volume 1),  (Volume 2), (Volume 3), (Volume 4), (Volume 5), (Volume 6) ,(Volume 7), (Volume 8), (Volume 9) ]

Animal Sacrifice and Vivekanand:


Now let's see what Vivekananda said,' in his greatest Bengali poem - Sokhar Proti

" Brahma hote Khit Paramanu Sarvavuthe Sei Premmamoy,
Mon-Pran-Sharir Arpan Shakhe Karo, E sobar Pai,


Bahuruphe Sammukhe tomar Chari Khotha Khujisho Iswara,
Jibe Prem Kore Jei Jon Sei Jon Shebiche Iswara" !!!

'One who have the love and care for all, not only animal  but any creature - is the correct meaning. Secondly slaughtering animal, why dont you feel when you talk how many micro animals are u killing? As you cannot see them they are non existing thing. I would suggest readers to read lectures of Swami Vivekananda's "Karma-yoga" and they can also look at volume 8 from page 42.  Everyone will get the answer as well as queries.


1) Vedanta say, ' Sarvang kalidang Brahma'.  So how can people kill animal???? !!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a misconception regarding 'loving all beings as God'... Vedanta says, ' when a person really see or realize that every life is the manifestation of God (Buddhata, Samadhi, or soul becomes manifested condition, mind reach in super conscious level), he will never harm/ cant harm any living being,  as every living being is actually himself (Oneness of God). The idea of absolute Non-dualism, the idea of Oneness of God, the idea of only existent of God and all materials become non-existent in that level. But if a person don't see God in every living being, and say that every living being is god and hence don't harm any animal - then that is hypocrisy. What about a tiger attack a person, and the person say, ' tiger is god, so i should love it and embrace it'.. That's not right. Because the person see tiger as a tiger not a manifestation of God.. Now, what Vivekananda said about , ' vegetarianism'? He would say vegetarianism is a great idea for a person who don't want to eat any flesh. But if anyone generalize it for everyone, then it is incorrect. Because society needs muscle power, a lot of people would need animal flesh to live in. How do u incorporate people live in dessert area? By vegetarianism?? !!! Whether a person would be a vegetarianism or carnivorous or omnivorous, should depend on individual level. But enforce everyone to do it, is indeed hypocrisy. When India was omnivorous, eat animal flesh like beef, buffalo and so on, India had produced a lot of great King like Nanda Empire, Maurya, Asoka, Gupta, Rama, Krishna and So on; philosopher like Vedavyasa, Manu, Valmiki, Shukdev, and so on. But later, Emperor Asoka had enforced mass people not to kill animal and made then Indian society a green field of cows. Far later, Indian society was so degraded that they had lost the heroic identity and started prayer to animal, started cruel casteism and so on !! After Gupta Empire, the contribution of Indian society was very less!


Some Indian rituals need animal slaughter, even Vedas permitted cow slaughter for few rituals; In Vedic period, if a Brahman didn't eat ritualistic beef, he/she would degraded from society. But  a lot of people don't know about these. On the other hand, ritual that needs animal slaughter was indeed low level practice of religiosity. But society needs it. To incorporate mass people, to spread the absolute idea to sacrifice one's ego to God's will; a lot of Abrahamic religion took the idea of animal slaughter to teach the mass people.


In conclusion, animal slaughtering in ritual is a low level religiosity but a mandatory ritual for general masses. "Jibe prem kore je jon.." is the highest level of idea. In addition, Gautama Buddha was also an omnivorous person, he died by eating some poisonous pork meat (according to Teraveda tradition), but he was the greatest human being in then India. How many of us understand his ,' Ahimsha Paramo Dharmo'? Does he mean to embrace tiger when a tiger attack you to kill? Answer is No.. Well, now I am coming to the original point again, Vivekananda never did animal slaughter for ritual but I think He also believed like me. The last point is that Vivekananda never spoke about animal killing.. That's Mr. Avijit Roys' version of Vivekananda.

Vivekananda and British Power:

This is Vivekananda who had taught then Indian society to move for motherland. Indeed, most of the Indian freedom fighters were indeed inspired from his lectures.  Even he protested with two English men in a train trip. But what he praised? Who are those patriotic people who had been inspired by Vivekananda? Neheru, Ghandhi, Netaji Subhas bose, and so on.. please check this video - The real hero of India . Rabindranath, Kazi Nazrul, Sufia Kamal, Leo Tolstoy, Max Muller, Romain Rolland, Christopher Isherwood, President Sukarno,  and so on western intellectual has been motivated by his writings and intellectuals. Now a days, a lot of American are also taking his idea as an universal messages. On the other hand, He praised British after visiting their land. He praised British for their confidence, character, patriotism and so on and then he asked his motherland to take all those ideas and he inspired people to build up their nation by turning all those ideas into action.He praised Japan for their hard working motive.

Satidaho and Vivekananda:

Whatever, Avijit roy wrote was completely wrong. 


Women and Vivekananda:

Indeed , it is Vivekananda who first talked about woman's freedom, education and power in India. But what was his thoughts? He indeed wanted to educate women first, then women would decide what should be the right for them.. Let's take some help from my wife - Chaitee Debi, She has written down in her comment at Avijit roy's facebook link, that - 


"নারী শক্তিকে জাগরণ করার জন্য বিবেকানন্দ সবসময় জোর দিয়েছেন।উনি ভারতীয় নারীদের পুনরোদ্ধারের জন্য তৎকালীন সময়ে নিবেদিতার মত অনেক ইংরেজ নারীকে এই দেশে নিয়ে এসেছিলেন।উনি বারবার বলেছেন নারীরা না জাগলে সভ্যতা জাগবে না।"বিধবা বিবাহ" women burning আর "বাল‌্যবিবাহ" এর মত স্পর্শকাতর বিষয়গুলোর সমালোচনাও উনি করেছিলেন।কিন্তু নারীদের সমস্যা মিটানোর জন্য পুরুষের নেতৃত্ব,পুরুষের ভাবধারাকে উনি প্রাধান্য দেননি।উনি বলেছিলেন,"নারীদের আধূনিক শিক্ষায় শিক্ষিত কর।তাহলে নারীরাই নারীদের সমস্যা ভালো বুঝবে এবং সমাধান করবে"। উনার "বাণী ও রচনা" থেকে এভাবে আংশিক এবং বিকৃত করে Quote করা ঠিক নয়।উনি আরো বলেছিলেন,"ভারতীয় নারীশক্তি আবার জাগবে"।নারীদের পবিত্রতার কথা স্মরণ করিয়ে দেয়ার জন্য বলেছিলেন,"হে ভারত ভুলিও না তোমার নারীজাতির আদর্শ সীতা, সাবিত্রী ও দয়মন্তি"। একজন নারী হিসেবে আমি জানি এ কথাগুলো কতখানি বাস্তব আজকের ও তৎকালীন সময়ের জন্য।কোন পুরুষ লেখকের তা বুঝার কথা নয়। বিবেকানন্দ বাল্যবিবাহ, বিধবাবিবাহের সুফল ও কুফল দুইটাই আলোচনা করেছিলেন।কিন্তু কুফলের তৎকালীন এবং বর্তমান প্রয়োজনীয়তা ব্যাখ্যা করে তা নিষেধ করেছিলেন।আপনি যদি কোন Traditional system এর বিপক্ষে কথা বলেন তখন নিশ্চয়ই তার সুবিধা ও অসুবিধা দুইটাই বলবেন।বিবেকানন্দও তাই করেছিলেন।সত্যিকার সমাজগঠন তখনই শুরু হ্য় যখন আচরণে দেখা যায়।বিবেকানন্দই তৎকালীন সমাজে প্রথম নারীশিক্ষার প্রচলন করেছিলেন ভগিনী নিবেদিতার সহায়তায়।এইসব নিয়ে তো কিছু বললেন না আপনার লিখায়!!

Vivekananda has asserted always on women's empowerment. Vivekananda had criticized child marriage and very articulately criticized then society regarding few sensitive issues like 'widow marriage, women burning, child marriage and women oppression'.   But He also very strongly emphasized on the chastity of a woman.

[For child marriage, see page 89, Volume 2]

Vivekananda and Luxurious Life:


Vivekananda was born in a aristocratic dutta family. His father was a judge. He was growing up in a luxurious family. He was a student of Presidency college on law program. He abandoned everything and become a beggar to find the truth. He was indeed wandering from Bangladesh-India-Pakistan for seven years to know the people. Most of the time, he was a guest to lower class poor people, sometime he was a guest of high class people. He abandoned all the materialistic lifestyles in his life for truth, for poor people, and at the age of 40, he choose to death. A person who abandoned all the materialistic luxury at young age of 25 and passed his extreme beggar life from age of 25 to 33 !, a person who initiated  monastic order of Ramakrishna Mission at 1897, collected some money to build  Belur math at 1899 and passed away at 1902 after initiating a great karmayoga ! and Some people like Prabir Ghosh , Avijit Roy call him materialistic monk !!!!!!!! Do they have any idea about Monastic life? Do they have any idea about Karmayoga?? Do they have any idea about spirituality? Answer is No..


Vivekananda and Caste-ism:

This is Vivekananda who was the first non-Brahmin monk in India (if we exclude mythological stories). This is Vivekananda who gave Upabita to 40 Sudra students at 1901 in Belur Math. this is Vivekananda who first collapsed so called caste system in India. I would suggest to read my writings on  "Caste Problem and Vivekananda". They they will understand what he told about Caste and how did he mobilize the superstitious British Indian society.



Mr. Avijit Roy and Me:

He (Mr. Avijit Roy) has used so many quotes of Swamiji without reference. I personally dont know where he has found all those quotes. He has requested me to post from Bengali version. But the reality is that the Bengali version is the translation from English Version of 'Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'. Even I have checked Bengali Version of the book with one of my friend and we found similar findings. I requested Mr. Avijit more than ten times that, ' brother, I am proposing to you because you have misquoted; if people will know this , they will distrust your writings.' Facebook Comments in Avijit Roy's link The person who never studied Vivekananda, how can he wrote all those bullshit words?? He has an agenda, - that's criticize great people and get some audience claps - I am concluding this sentence with great sorrowfulness.



Now the question is that, ' why would I attack him personally? the answer is simple, ' A person, who propagates hate and fake information in webpage - is indeed an enemy to mankind.' We dont need such a free thinker, whos contribution to world is only 'disturb people's mind'.


At last, I would suggest the reader to read and check Swamiji's writings here and then try to realize my message. I have found some Hindu radical groups and some so called free thinkers tried to malign Swami Vivekananda. Hindu radicals dont like him because he believed in pluralistic society, and on the other hand, the business of so called rationalist are already out of market in India because of the idea of Swamiji. Because Swamiji doesn't only represent Vedic religion, he indeed represent the hero of all religion. Because this is he who said,' all religion is true, if anyone follow his religion honestly, he/she would find the truth !'. I am not a stubborn follower of Vivekananda, I am not a scholar on him. All explanations do belongs to my thoughts. If I did any mistake here , that's mine, not Vivekananda's. I once again remind the readers: I have not cited any references here because, I want to suggest the reader to read his complete volume to check  Avijit Roy's writing. 

Jayeto Mukto-Mona, Jayeto So called Mukto Mona !!!!
