One of the greatest man Swami Vivekananda is known to the world due his enourmous religious highness as well as many well educated person devoted as followers of Swamiji and translated his total works in english and other languares whereas Swami Swarupananda has no one as his follower, who can just translate his works and tell the world about His greatness. Most of his followers is either very busy with their works and khichuri bhog and a little upasana. Is there nobody who can take this little trouble and say the world , yes, this is Swami Swarupananda and these are his great works.
Now a days most juveniles either dont know to read bengali or not interested to read bengali books. Just think what
will happen after 20 years when there will be no book of swamiji in english and thus his great works will end for ever. Amazing for a great man.
Most of the great men, sary RamKrishna Deva, Swami Avedananda, Ravindra Nath Tagore, Swami Paramhansha Yogananda, Swami Prabhupada and almost all great personalities known to the world only after their works publish in English language or their works in Europe-American countries. Our beloved Babamani never went to these continents and neither wrote his great sayings in English language.
I have very little knowledge and neither have any contact with the personalities who can engage his english power with swamiji's thought. But I found there are so many persons, disciples of Babamani , know english very well. I pray to them just rethink over it.
We are eagarly awaiting for such personalities. I am sorry and please forgive me if somebody get hurted.
HARI OM

Yes Dada, I am totally agree with you. Regarding these we can try to draw kind attention of Maamoni.....If we won't get any fruitful answer from her then we are all Akhandas of Bangladesh & India jointly will take the steps to do it.........Perhaps we can
do everything for our great Guru.
Expecting comment from respected Tapanda....regarding these.
Joy Guru.

In this material world death can come at any moment. Whatever consciousness we have at the time of our death will determine our next situation. Therefore a thoughtful, sober person will cultivate thoughts of God at every moment. He will always try to connect everything that he is doing with God.
This process is described by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita as follows:
yat karosi yad asnasi
yaj juhosi dadasi yat
yat tapasyasi kaunteya
tat kurusva mad-arpanam
"Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform -- do that, O son of Kunti, as an offering to Me." Bhagavad-gita 9.27
If we do this conscientiously throughout our lives, our minds will always be nicely absorbed in Krishna consciousness, and at the time of death we will naturally return to our eternal position in the all-blissful Spiritual Sky.
yam yam vapi smaran bhavam
tyajaty ante kalevaram
tam tam evaiti kaunteya
sada tad-bhava-bhavitah
"Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kunti, that state he will attain without fail." Bhagavad-gita 8.6
Whether we are engaged in Hari Om kirtan, giving or hearing a spiritual consciousness lecture, driving down the road, or working at our job or business we should always try to see everything in relationship with God and discipline our every thought, word, and deed for His pleasure. Since God is the ultimate provider of our all of our necessities we certainly owe Him a genuine sense of gratitude in return. It certainly would be highly improper that after our receiving from Him unlimited kindness and mercy that we would remain ingrates. Therefore becoming God conscious is nothing more than simple human decency. If someone gives us the kindest, sweetest love we are duty bound to reciprocate with that person. That person who is giving us everything at every moment is God. Therefore just as He is fully giving His love to us, we must fully give our love to Him. This process of fully giving our love is known as surrender, surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Becoming spiritual consciousness means that we have to do battle on a daily basis with the material energy. In order to be successful in this struggle we must fight with great determination. We have the six material senses including the mind that must be conquered. If we can subdue our senses by keeping them always engaged in God's service, we will emerge victorious as conquerors over the material energy and will able to enter into the sublime atmosphere of the spiritual world.
How do we keep them engaged in God's service? This process begins with the tongue. If we can utilize our tongues as far as possible only for glorifying the Lord and partaking of vegetarian foodstuffs that are offered to Him with love and devotion (prasad), we gradually will become highly advanced in God consciousness and always taste the sweetest pleasure. This principle is :
"Material senses cannot appreciate God's holy name, form, qualities and pastimes. When a conditioned soul is awakened to God consciousness and renders service by using his tongue to chant the Lord's holy name (OM or Hari Om) and taste the remnants of the Lord's food, the tongue is purified, and one gradually comes to understand who God really is."

Dear All Akhandas, Please be informed that today I have sent two letters to Maamoni ( Guru Dham- Kolkata) & Sri Jugal Brahmachariji-MBBS ( Chif of Rahimpur Ashrama, Bangladsh). In my letter I requested both of them to take steps to translated all the books of our beloved babamoni's in English for convoy the message of Babamani to all over the world. I hope they will consider the matter with high importance. If not, we are all here who can do it....isn't it  Joy Guru |

Thanks for your initiation. Though I am not able to contribute anything regarding this matter, I mean translation of our Guru's noble books in English. Neither myself able nor know some person who can do it. At locality I approached so many persons even with money but everyone refuse. Some are able but they are less interested to contribute their ability in the spiritual line rather they earn more by otherwise.
If all the great disciples join together, it is a matter of some month and we all can do it for our great guru. Let us see what will happen. However, I again appreciate your noble desire.
What I can do after getting babamoni's blessings is in front of you. Still I hope our meeting must be due to His wish. Joy Guru
