‘Banagram Memories’ is an attempt to talk about Guru Maharaj as well as all the devotees who had contact with Him in the early days of Banagram Ashram, which I had witnessed.
Now those who are barely come to the Ashram, they have not seen those days or those people_ so if they read these posts they will get an idea about that days of Banagram. Later they will be able to research about these_if they want. There must be research on Banagram Ashram and Guru Maharaj. I heard from Guruji that biographies of most of the great men were written 50/100 years or more after their deaths.
But in those cases there is a possibility of various mistakes. Because if many days passed, the eye witness does not last long, so the correct words have to be brought out from the idea or from the words heard by many people which is very hard work.
But if the members of the 1-st generation can do this work , then one of the great advantages is that many of the contemporaries can correct any mistake. Here, we are trying to do this job_through ‘Banagram Memories’!
Well, now let me ask you(readers) a question _____ In the time of Mahaprabhu, Jagai_Madhai drank wine or tortured people and woman was their daily routine! But today, even after 500/550 years, do people hate them and spit on their pictures ??
___ During the time of Thakur Sri Ramakrishna, Girish Ghosh used to drink wine and go to women. I heard from Guruji that one day Girish got drunk and went to the door to door of Baijis (whore) and could not find any door opened. No one opened the door for fear. Then he reached Thakur Sriramkrishna at 12 o’clock at night. Then he began to shout from outside of the gate, “I came to you to have some fun. Wake up Thakur! Wake up!”
Besides this_once he shook Thakur Sri Ramakrishna and made him away, even at the time of his eating !
But later do the people look at Girish with hate?? Do they hate him??
Rather, everyone call him with great regards_ ‘Bhakta bhairav Girish’!! Whom Thakur gave ‘Gerua'(dress of a monk) with his other celibate devotees.
_____Once Guru Maharaj himself challenged Raina’s Jagada and drank 8/10_bottles of wine.
Do we love or adore Gurumaharaj less for that???[These are being spoken for them, who were opposing to continue the topic, as some true facts(which they thought_should not be given) about their family members were mentioned in the discussion !]
[To be continued]…….
