- SWARUPANANDA PARAMHANSHA
His book "Karmer Pathe" and "Atmagathan o Brahmacharya Prasango" made tremendous impression amongst the freedom-fighters. Many of them used to keep these books for daily-reading and had equal reverence as they had for "The Gita". As a result, Baltu was arrested a number of times, but was ultimately freed from the custody of the British rulers, as the Government failed to ferret out anything unusual in those books.He soon realised the real Mantra "Om" and never looked back again. He wrote ," Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari Om" should not only be uttered, but should also be chanted. Know it to be the mighty incantation for unification of all. "Hari" means "God" and "Om" means "Yes", i.e. "Om" stands for "Being". "Hari Om" thus means "God is". The word "Hari" connotes 'one who gathers' , 'one who accumulates', 'One who culls'. The great mystic syllable "Om" being about integration of all fragmental units into an integrated and indivisible entity. For this reason alone, this mighty "Mantram" is otherwise designated as "Hari". All the wisdom of the universe, all truth, all weal, all incantation, all symbols, methods, ways means theories and approaches lie gathered together and accumulated only in Omkar. "Hari" means everything and "Om" means the mystic syllable.
Bankim Chandra Gangupaddyay (Nick name Boltu), Son of Satish Chandra Gangupaddyay and Mamata Devi, was born on 22th December 1885, Bengali 1294 (many disciples/followers believe that dob 26th December 1899) 12 Pous 1306 Tuesday at Chandpur, Dist-Comilla, Bangladesh. (It is reported that he was actually born on 2nd Tuesday of the Bengali month 'Poush', Bengali yera 1306)
The story of Babamoni’s birth is as miraculous as his life. After he was born, there was not any visible indication of life in the body of that newly born baby, which lay like a lifeless entity for as many as seven days at a stretch. On the eighth day, when the father of the infant became sure that his son was indeed alive, then only he told his relatives about the birth of his son. The wonderful and harmonious combination of Gyanyoga, Karmayoga and Bhaktiyoga that we find in the life of Babamoni lead us to imagine that as if God was equipping the little infant with all the armours of good qualities during those seven days in order to ensure his success. This extraordinary incident of his birth goaded Babamoni to take the pledge – before he started his life of divinely ordained activities – “ My life is for everyone. So long as I stick to this conviction, I stay in my true nature and I remain Swarupananda."
Since Childhood Bankim (nickname 'Baltu') was religious in nature and his favorite pastime was meditation. He used to sit motionlessly for hours underneath the trees at lonely grounds of Chandipur while his friends engaged in prankish activities. He was religious in nature and his activities were unique which differenciated him from ordinary people. Although his parents thought him very strange, they allowed because he was safe and not bothering them.After he passed with distinction from Pogos School in Dakha, he came to Calcutta and took admission in Surendranath College. However, the call to free the motherland from the subjugation of the British rule stirred young Bankim to plunge head-long into the freedom movement and he could not complete his formal education. The dreams that he always nurtured to see his young countrymen brimming with health, moral principles and spiritual inclinations led him to write numerous books in Bengali, his native language, and compose songs and distribute them free among the lads of the society.
