Ocean in a
Teacup – R. A. Houserman
(Biography of Shri Shri Thakur Anukulchandra)
Ray was an
ardent disciple of Sri Sri Thakur , a fulltime worker of Satsang and was with
close association of Thakur during 1945-1969.
Following
is excerpt from his book third edition
“It
proposed using the bed of the Darwa River to
connect
North and South across the plateau to the Ajoy River, it was called the
Ganga-Darwa
Project. It was not too long before a group of devotees lead by R. C.
Sinha,
professor of Geology of Patna University, were actively attempting to secure
public and
Government cooperation. There was another group of Thakur’s disciples
just as
committed to seeking funds and hands for the gigantic educational synthesis
which Thakur
called the Sandilya University Project. A third group led by Thakur’s
youngest
son, a medical college whose syllabus would attempt to synthesize all
known
system of medicine with a few original ideas of Thakur and a five hundred be
hospital
organized as a home with facilities for a relative to remain with each patient.
Flood
control, education reform, medical innovation and added to it all was another
project –
perhaps the most intriguing, if only because of its complete irrationality. The
objective
of this program was to secure 100 cars – and this when there already were
more cars
than the overworked staff could handle.
The appeal
to help these varied projects at the same times in different meeting all over
India,
gave an interesting glimpse in the breadth and depth of Thakur’s unique
synthesis.
The university appeal for a new lead in the training of men’s minds would
be
followed by an equally eloquent appeal for the hospital and the elemental need
of
caring for
men’s bodies, and this followed by ardent appeals for cooperation in
Ganga-Darwa
Prject as basic to the others.
Finally,
would come the appeal for money for Thakur’s unneeded cars. Apart from
earning
for Thakur the epithet – perhaps unique amongst the many yogis and Gurus –
of the
Automobile Avatar, it was interesting to see that the very irrationality of
this
cause often over-whelmed the
others.”
