Presentation of Divine Discourse of Prajnanpurush SriSriBabathakur on 17th January 2002 at Netaji Subhash Hall C.R.Park Kali Mandir New Delhi 110019.
SriSriBabathakur is most unconventional, when compared to conventional Sadhus, Saints and Mahatmas. Nobody can bind Him to any sect, particular path or belief.
Those who are fortunate enough to have come closer to Him believe that He is Saccidananda Absolute, Atman, Ishwar or Divine Mother Herself, for Her Leela has manifested in the form of Sanai on her bosom or engaged in Divine sports as Kali-Krishna or Shiva-Kali. When this Divine-pair starts playing with one another, the real game of the Divine Love starts...
‘No, I am not an Avatar. This (referring to Himself) is fully identified with the Absolute Reality, and such has no mission in life. My ‘purposeless purpose’ or ‘missionless mission’ is to spread out the ‘Science of Oneness/Science of the Absolute’ without any sense of restriction or limitation of caste, creed, dogma or religion’, remarks the Divine Master, SriSriBabathakur.
The Master himself threw some light on his early life (nothing much about His early life is known and recorded it is only through His utterances, whatever little is there, we shall try to present before one and all) uttering, ‘my present body was born in East Bengal, at Dacca, in a poor but pious, highly religious and respected family. I had to struggle hard. The body was engaged for some time in professional line-portrait painting, and instrumental music-sitar playing. Good command was achieved in those arts, but then a sudden spiritual wave came to change the course of my life and transcend it; I could know that and I got a chance of liberation from the cycle of life and death.’
It may be mentioned here that the Master is aware of all his past incarnations, even the time of conception in the womb of the mother of his present body.
More idea, however, about his life one gets from his songs-how the intense longing for Truth grew within him in early part of life-how the Divine Bhavas were awakened and how he received spiritual guidance and inspiration directly from the Divine-Self.
The Master says: ‘during my quest for Truth, I could not find any proper place in search of Truth. Everywhere I noticed only big-talk, arrogance and quarrels over faiths and paths. Nobody could enlighten me. Greatly puzzled as I was then, in utter disappointment and dejection, I turned ‘inwards’ and commenced the search ‘within’ with intense longing. Then as per the instructions of the inner Divine-Self, with Its support, started accepting all beings and becomings-every manifestation of the universe-as one Absolute Brahman / Atman / Divine-Self / the Embodiment of Existence, Pure Consciousness, Bliss, Love, Peace, Absolute, and followed it with full awareness. As a consequence, I found my own Ista (chosen deity), Guru, my own Self, Divine Mother and so on, in all various names, forms, Bhavas, Consciousness, in gross, subtle, causal and supra-causal dimensions. I became completely identified with Brahman / Atman / Divine Mother with the infinite and permanent Light of ‘Oneness of Knowledge of Oneness.
