#liberation means many things to many people.
for me, #liberation was to find out the purpose of why #lordshiva sent me to this #universe
living a life with a purpose
at last
after I became a #guru of my young son #ridit
Liberation...
there is a little difference between the term #guru and #teacher
in ancient #bharat, we had #guru
A #guru was not dependent on the salary of anybody for his day-to-day needs
hence he was free from being influenced by any boss
so if he wished, he could see things as they are
not as they are projected by powerful people
i am not sure
but probably the term #bhikshhok was formed during the time of #lordbuddha
this was the term that drew utter respect in the society
and remember, this is not exactly the term that we use at present to debase a person - the #bhikhari
#bhikhari means #beggar
but a #bhikshook was of high caliber people
and the rich people of the society used to offer everything they could whenever a #bhikshook came to the village
and this was the tradition of ancient #bharat
which got damaged utterly by the scoundrel #macaulay with his nasty plan to destroy the oldest civilization of this #universe
and I am sorry to say, this tradition is still going on in the guise of #education
so, the #crux of the ancient #guru of #bharat was that
they were free from any #bondage of the powerful people of the society
and hence their teaching was like pure milk. - not contaminated with polluted water provided by the powerful people to establish their own #game - healthy for both the #brain and the #brawn of the #shishya
after a lot of struggle to know #whoami
the real me is coming out
as a #guru of my young son
my great grandfather was a highly educated person working as #inspector of #colleges under the #british period for mainly three universities - #dhaka #calcutta and #burdwan and if I can remember how my grandfather used to explain his facial expression having terrific disdainful frowning while putting Red marks on the exam copies of the graduates of those times, I can imagine that he was probably a purist as far as the language was concerned.
but as I can see it, even he was somehow molded and did his higher education in the subject #english - but of course, that was the trend at that time - which was the part and parcel of the story behind the great Bengal Renaissance at that time...
but maybe that tradition is continuing in my family - and after the tremendous financial struggle I have again become a #guru after we have lost two generations of our family to work just as hand in the mouth circumstances
but I am thankful to my grandfather, who took the charge of enlightening me with the real history of #bharat showing the true picture of a person like #maxmuller and his role in destroying the facts of contemporary history of #bharat and all such facts along with stories #ramayana and #mahabharata
I am continuing to play this role with my son #ridit
so along with teaching him advanced #computerscience
now another role that I have to pick up
as a #guru showing him the real history of #bharat
not through the glasses of the first gigolo of independent #bharat after the #british left
but as an enlightened #guru from the knowledge of my #grandfather answerable only to my #lordshiva or the inner conscience
so, I and my wife took a decision today not to teach our son the history of #bharat during the darkest period - that is from Babur to Jafar shah - and this is a purposeful omit from our part to align his thought process on the real essence of #bharat
so I have picked up the famous historian #rcmajumdar to start with - one of the many scapegoats because of his #wisdom and alignment with #truth
for the #universe
Know the real History of Bharat from here...
History of the Freedom Movement in India - I
History of the Freedom Movement in India - II
History of the Freedom Movement in India - III
Let us get rid of all the rotten eggs of society like Romila Thapar capable of producing only rotten potatoes...
And, let me end this fantastic description of the difference between Bhikhari (beggar) and Bhikshhok (the learned Guru), with one of the most fascinating poems by none other than Rabindranath Tagore describing that the Bhikshook does not care for the materialistic value of a gift, but he looks for the real love and compassion which makes the soul of the giver a real source of light - a true giver - in that gift.
enjoy...

অনাথপিণ্ডদ বুদ্ধের একজন প্রধান শিষ্য ছিলেন
"প্রভু বুদ্ধ লাগি আমি ভিক্ষা মাগি,
ওগো পুরবাসী, কে রয়েছে জাগি,
অনাথপিণ্ডদ কহিলা অম্বুদ-
নিনাদে।
সদ্য মেলিতেছে তরুণ তপন
আলস্যে অরুণ সহাস্য লোচন
শ্রাবস্তীপুরীর গগনলগন
প্রাসাদে।
বৈতালিকদল সুপ্তিতে শয়ান
এখনো ধরে নি মাঙ্গলিক গান,
দ্বিধাভরে পিক মৃদু কুহুতান
কুহরে।
ভিক্ষু কহে ডাকি, "হে নিদ্রিত পুর,
দেহো ভিক্ষা মোরে, করো নিদ্রা দূর'--
সুপ্ত পৌরজন শুনি সেই সুর
শিহরে।
সাধু কহে, "শুন, মেঘ বরিষার
নিজেরে নাশিয়া দেয় বৃষ্টিধার,
সর্ব ধর্মমাঝে ত্যাগধর্ম সার
ভুবনে।'
কৈলাসশিখর হতে দূরাগত
ভৈরবের মহাসংগীতের মতো
সে বাণী মন্দ্রিল সুখতন্দ্রারত
ভবনে।
রাজা জাগি ভাবে বৃথা রাজ্য ধন,
গৃহী ভাবে মিছা তুচ্ছ আয়োজন,
অশ্রু অকারণে করে বিসর্জন
বালিকা।
যে ললিত সুখে হৃদয় অধীর
মনে হল তাহা গত যামিনীর
স্খলিত দলিত শুষ্ক কামিনীর
মালিকা।
বাতায়ন খুলে যায় ঘরে ঘরে,
ঘুমভাঙা আঁখি ফুটে থরে থরে
অন্ধকার পথ কৌতূহলভরে
নেহারি।
"জাগো, ভিক্ষা দাও' সবে ডাকি ডাকি
সুপ্ত সৌধে তুলি নিদ্রাহীন আঁখি
শূন্য রাজবাটে চলেছে একাকী
ভিখারি।
ফেলি দিল পথে বণিকধনিকা
মুঠি মুঠি তুলি রতনকণিকা--
কেহ কণ্ঠহার, মাথার মণিকা
কেহ গো।
ধনী স্বর্ণ আনে থালি পূরে পূরে,
সাধু নাহি চাহে, পড়ে থাকে দূরে--
ভিক্ষু কহে, "ভিক্ষা আমার প্রভুরে
দেহো গো।'
বসনে ভূষণে ঢাকি গেল ধূলি,
কনকে রতনে খেলিল বিজুলি,
সন্ন্যাসী ফুকারে লয়ে শূন্য ঝুলি
সঘনে--
"ওগো পৌরজন, করো অবধান,
ভিক্ষুশ্রেষ্ঠ তিনি বুদ্ধ ভগবান,
দেহো তারে নিজ সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ দান
যতনে।'
ফিরে যায় রাজা, ফিরে যায় শেঠ,
মিলে না প্রভুর যোগ্য কোনো ভেট,
বিশাল নগরী লাজে রহে হেঁট-
আননে।
রৌদ্র উঠে ফুটে, জেগে উঠে দেশ,
মহানগরীর পথ হল শেষ,
পুরপ্রান্তে সাধু করিলা প্রবেশ
কাননে।
দীন নারী এক ভূতলশয়ন
না ছিল তাহার অশন ভূষণ,
সে আসি নমিল সাধুর চরণ-
কমলে।
অরণ্য-আড়ালে রহি কোনোমতে
একমাত্র বাস নিল গাত্র হতে,
বাহুটি বাড়ায়ে ফেলি দিল পথে
ভূতলে।
ভিক্ষু ঊর্ধ্বভুজে করে জয়নাদ--
কহে, "ধন্য মাতঃ, করি আশীর্বাদ,
মহাভিক্ষুকের পুরাইলে সাধ
পলকে।'
চলিলা সন্ন্যাসী ত্যজিয়া নগর
ছিন্ন চীরখানি লয়ে শিরোপর
সঁপিতে বুদ্ধের চরণনখর-
আলোকে।

Anathapindada was a leading disciple of the Buddha
"Lord Buddha, I beg,
O people of the city, who are awake,
Anathpindad said Ambud-
Ninade.
Young Tapan has just met
Arun laughter in laziness
Gaganalgan of Sravastipuri
In the palace.
Baitalikadal sleeping in sleep
Manglik song not yet caught,
Hesitant peak mild kuhutana
In the fog.
The monk says, "O sleeping city,
Deho bhiksha more, do nidra door '-
The latent citizen hears that tune
In the city.
The saint says, "Listen, the clouds are raining
The rain gives itself intoxication,
Sacrifice is the essence of all religions
In the world. '
Not far from Kailashshikhar
Like the great music of Bhairab
He is happy with the message Mandril
In the building.
The king awakens in vain the kingdom's wealth,
Homely false trivial arrangement,
Tears are wasted unnecessarily

The heart is excited by that beautiful happiness
I think it is the last guarantor
Slippery Dalit dry Kamini
Mistress.
The window opens from room to room,
Sleepy eyes burst into layers
The dark path curiously

"Wake up, beg," he cried
Sleepless eyes in the dormant monument
Zero Rajbat is running alone
Beggar.
He threw the merchant on the way
Muthi Muthi Tuli Ratankanika--
Someone necklace, head bead
Someone go.
The rich bring gold to the plate,
The saint does not want, stays away--
The monk says, “Begging is my lord
Go away. '
The dust covered the clothes,
Konke Ratne played lightning,
The monk holds the empty bag in Fukare
Frequently--
"O citizen, pay attention,
The greatest of monks is Lord Buddha,
Deho is his greatest gift
As much as. '
The king goes back, Seth goes back,
No match for the Lord,
The great city is ashamed to walk.
Anne.
The sun rises, the country wakes up,
The way to the metropolis is the end,
Sadhu Karila entered the city
In the garden.
Deen Nari is an underground bed
There was no Ashan Bhushan,
He came to the feet of Namil Sadhu-
Less.
Somehow I stayed behind the forest
The only bus to be taken,
He raised his arm and threw it on the way
On the ground
The monk raises his head in joy--
Says, "Blessed Mother, bless you,
Mahabhikshukera puraile sadha
Paul. '
Chalila Sannyasi abandoned the city
Shredded chirkhani lay heading
Sampite Buddha's footsteps-
In the light.
And here we go...

The Real Man Comes Around with A Sankalp - A Resolution
The Kanyakumari resolve of 1892 was the resolution taken by Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda to dedicate himself to the service and the welfare of people. In 1970 Vivekananda Rock Memorial was founded at the place where Vivekananda took this resolution.
Ramakrishna, the spiritual teacher of Vivekananda, desired to see his disciple dedicate his life to the welfare of society. After the death of Ramakrishna in 1886, Narendranath Datta (Pre-monastic name of Swami Vivekananda) and other disciples founded their first monastery at Baranagar.
In 1888, Narendranath Datta left the monastery as a parivrajaka (meaning: "the Hindu religious life of a wandering monk") "without fixed abode, without ties, independent and strangers wherever they go". Between 1888 and 1893 he traveled extensively in several states of India. In 1888, he visited several places in Northern India like Ayodhya, Lucknow, Agra, Vrindavan, Hathras, and Rishikesh. Between 1888 and 1890, Vivekananda visited Vaidyanath and Allahabad.
In 1891, he traveled to Ahmedabad, Wadhwan, and Limbdi. He also visited Girnar, Kutch, Porbandar, Dwaraka, Palitana, Nadiad, Nadiad ni haveli, and Baroda.
In 1892, he went to South India. He first traveled to Bangalore and then visited other cities like Trissur, Kodungalloor, Ernakulam, Nagercoil, and Trivandrum. He offered worship at Rameswaram and finally reached Kanyakumari on 24 December 1892.
Kanyakumari resolve
During his wandering years, Vivekananda experienced the sufferings and problems faced by common people. Poverty, lack of self-respect, and education pained him. He wanted to help these poor people. He wanted to restore the dignity and self-respect of these people.
When Vivekananda reached Kanyakumari on 24 December 1892, he was still unable to formulate an idea to help the masses of the country. In Kanyakumari, he swam across the ocean to reach a large mid-sea rock. There he sat on the rock and started meditating on India's past, present, and future. His meditation on the "last bit of Indian rock" (later known as the Vivekananda Rock Memorial) continued for three days from 25 to 27 December. Swami Vivekananda contemplated on India since the Vedic age during his 3 days of meditation in Kanya Kumari. The past glory of India brought tears to his eyes. In Bodhgaya, he contemplated the Buddhist age of India and its glory was so mesmerizing that he was overwhelmed while being in meditation.
Here he had a "vision of one India" and came up with a solution in the form of resolution, which is popularly known as the "Kanyakumari resolve of 1892"..." The purpose of the 'resolve' was also to organize sannyasins for social service...
In a letter written to Swami Ramakrishnananda on 19 March 1894, Vivekananda recalled
My brother, in view of all this, especially of poverty and ignorance, I had no sleep. At Cape Comorin sitting in Mother Kumari's temple, sitting on the last bit of Indian rock—I hit upon a plan: We are so many Sannyasins wandering about, and teaching the people metaphysics—it is all madness. Did not our Gurudeva use to say, "An empty stomach is no good for religion"? That those poor people are leading the life of brutes is simply due to ignorance. We have for all ages been sucking their blood and trampling them underfoot.
At Kanyakumari, he decided to dedicate his life to the welfare and uplifting of the common masses of India.
Sankalp Divas
The date 24 December, when Vivekananda took the resolution at Kanyakumari, is celebrated as Sankalp Divas (the resolve day, resolution day)
