  • A Brief Resume About the Activities of the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, Barrackpore, for the Year 2009-10, from 1St April, 2009 to 31St March, 2010
    A Brief Resume about the Activities of the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, Barrackpore, for the year 2009-10, from 1st April, 2009 to 31st March, 2010. Museums, at present, are looked upon not only as clear – houses of informations, but also centres for awareness – building regarding aspects of life and living of the whole community. Keeping this in view the Commonwealth Association of Museums in a Triennial Conference a few years back fixed the thrust for museum – Endeavour – Peace, Democracy and good Governance in the 21st Century. It was a prudent and much necessary decision that unless and until people are involved in the peace-process it would be difficult for a violence – ridden world to come out of the predicament or overcome violence and peacelessness that has put a question–mark to our survival. Interestingly in an article published in this Sangrahalaya’s quarterly bi- lingual Journal Gandhi Sangbad / Gandhi News, January- March. 2010, an Expert in the field has these to observe – “Peace is the central theme in the programme of Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, Barrackpore. By presenting a great life based on the moral principles of truthfulness, non-violence, tolerance and peaceful co-existence and undertaking programmes like ‘Peace Convention’, whole-day fasting to protest against terrorism, etc., the Sangrahalaya has developed a ‘Culture of Peace’ and in this sense can be regarded as the only Peace Museum in this State”. This, however, could be one aspect of the Sangrahalaya’s activities in the financial Year 2009-10, i.e., 1st April, 2009 to 31st March, 2010. Research, Publication, Academic Exercises, educational programmes, seminars, symposiums, collaborative programmes and providing financial assistance to several Gandhian organizations in this State and also of national level like the Sarba Seva Sangh to keep up Gandhian activities marked the endeavours of this Sangrahalaya in the financial year under review.

  • Mahanambrata Brahmachari and Thomas Merton
    3 Mahanambrata Brahmachari and Thomas Merton By Richard V. Croghan In June 1938, Thomas Merton and Seymour Freedgood stood in New York City’s Grand Central Station looking for a Hindu monk. The two Columbia University students were about to give up waiting when a strange-looking man appeared behind them. It was Mahanambrata Brahmachari. Merton describes him as “a shy little man, very happy, with a huge smile, all teeth, in the midst of his brown face. And on the top of his head was a yellow turban with Hindu prayers written all over it in red. And, on his feet, sure enough: sneakers.”1 The Journey The journey that took Brahmachari from India to Chicago and finally to New York was unusual. It was at the monastery in Faridpur near Calcutta that his abbot selected Brahmachari to travel to Chicago to attend the World Congress of Religions. He was told to undertake the journey with limited funds. The abbot managed to raise some money to purchase a ticket for about half the distance to America. After that, heaven would take care of him. Brahmachari set sail from Bombay on an Italian ship, the Cente-Rossee, in August 1933. He could not afford a third-class ticket. He was a deck passenger bound for Venice. The ship supplied him with neither food nor berth. He later recalled: I took with me two blankets to sleep on, a few seers of rice, some potatoes, some Misri (Sugar-candy) and some cheera (fried and flattened rice). This was all I had for my physical needs.

  • Dharma As a Moral Value
    DHARMA AS A MORAL VALUE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL FOR THE AWARD OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PHILOSOPHY BY RANJIT KUMAR BARMAN GUIDE DR. NIRMAL KUMAR ROY (HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY) UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL RAJA RAMMOHANPUR, DARJEELING OCTOBER - 2017 Dedicated To My Father Late Kanak Chandra Barman ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to determine the actual meaning of the term dharma and to critically evaluate the meaning of the phenomenon dharma, which is highly relevant for the secular country like India. Generally, the term dharma refers to some activities which are somehow connected with God, more categorically to say it suggests us to obey the different principles to offer the devotion to the God, to follow the different style of the prayer and different manners to worship the God, to observe different ceremonies and activities which are offered to create the gratification of God or gods. All these activities are rituals. But in Sanskrit, the meaning of the term dharma is different from what we normally understand by it. The term „dharma‟ is constituted with the Sanskrit root word „dhṛ‟ adding with the suffix „mana‟. The word dhṛ means upholding. Hence, the derivative meaning of the term dharma is something upholding, something sustaining. In the case of an object the essential property upholds it. Hence, the essential property of an object is its dharma. For, this property bears the identity of it. Dharma is one without which nothing remains the same. In the like manner, the essential property of man which upholds him and distinguishes him from others is the dharma of man, i.e., something without which man is not recognized as man in true sense of the term.

  • Introduction
    Introduction “On June 23, 1757 the middle ages of India ended and her modern age began” – J.N. Sarkar Historian Jadunath Sarkar described the victory of British in the battle of Plassey in 1757as the beginning of modern time in India, but the question remains if that could really be addressed as the beginning of modern era in India? If at that time society was filled with religious disbelief, narrowness and hindrance of religion and society then could it be called the ‘Modern Time’? During that time the life of man was problematic. Social and religious boundaries covered the life of the people in those times. Society became motionless, because of the lack of spread of education, any type of motion was not found during that time. This motionless society is defined in poet’s language, “যে নদী হারায়ে স্াত চ즿তে না পারে সহ শৈবাদাম বাাধে আ즿স তারে। যে জা즿ত জীবন হারা অচ অসাড় পদে পদে বাাধে তারে জীর্ণ 뷇াকাচার।” At that time, in Bengal, various religious and social disbeliefs expanded its affects specially. A harmful custom of that time was ‘Koulinya’ custom. In Bengal it was said that around the twelfth century Ballal Sen introduced this custom. Historian Ramesh Chandra Majumdar said in the first part of his book Bangladesher Itihas that the name of Ballal Sen was impartially associated with the source of ‘Koulinya’in the book Bangiyakulji. The ill impact of koulinya custom has been described by the poet Raigunakar Bharatchandra in his poetry ‘Annapurna O Iswaripatani’.
