Quotation

"God makes a person do bad things for a special purpose in the world, then washes him clean. The world is his body! You, I and everything in this world are His parts. No one can understand what special work he does with his special parts. But he is good, he does good even through the bad deeds that seem to us to be evil.

He was one of the leading figures in the revival of Hindu Nimbarka bhavadhara in India. Dhananjayadas founded many Nimbarka Ashrams and Nimbarka temples, schools, colleges, universities.[6][7] Dhananjaya Das Kathiababa (20 November 1901 – 11 May 1983) was an Indian Bengali yogi, philosopher and religious guru and the chief disciple of the nineteenth-century Vedantic dualist Santadasji Kathiababa. 56th Acharya of Nimbarka Sampradaya Guru Parampara, Former Kumbha Mela President Mahant.

Biography

Appearance

Dhirendra Mohan, one of the greatest saints of Bengal, was born in this Vaishnava family on November 16, 1901, (30th Kartik of 1308 Bengal AD in Bengal) on the auspicious day of Karttik Puja, in the full moon and from the womb of Shrimati Khudumani Devi. Later Brajvidehi Sri 108 Swami Dhananjayadas Kathiya Babaji. Dhirendra Mohan is the fourth son among Purna Chandra's six sons. Other sons are respectively - Nalini Ranjan, Surendra Mohan, Hirendra Mohan, Santosh Kumar, Kamalakant. Purnachandra's fifth daughter Pramila Bala, Anila Bala, Abala Bala, Radharani died soon after the birth of the fifth daughter respectively.[9]

Family Status

A review of the family history reveals that in the past Kanakrittar of Chakraborty belonged to a pure Shrotriya Brahmin family of royal caste of Kanauj. [10]This is a very ancient theory. Legend has it that the progenitor of this Brahmin clan is Manohar Chakraborty. He was a resident of Lau village adjacent to Bankura district. For one reason or another, he later settled permanently with his family in a nearby village called Bhara. At that time the streets were not named as they are now. Villages were named after the villagers. According to that tradition, the village where Manohar Chakraborty settled came to be known as Chakraborty Para. After settling in Bhara, the pious Param Vaishnava Manohar Chakraborty built a temple there and installed the idol of Kuladevta Sri Radhamadhav Jeeura in the said temple. Later, Madhav Chandra of the same dynasty built another temple in 1293 Banga, when the statue of Sri Radhamadhav Jiva was installed in the temple, the temple established by Manohar Chakraborty became known as Puran-Mandir. It is known that Sriddhibamanshila, the original family deity in the Chakravarti dynasty, was established here by Purnachandra Chakravarti's great-great-grandfather Ramatanu Chakravarti. Purnachandra Chakraborty is the only son of Surya Narayana Chakraborty and Sukhdamayi Devi.

Letter of Patramrit

Dhananjaya Das Kathiababa letter Hand written

OM Hari:

Paramkalyanbareshu –

You and everyone outside will know my blessings. Do the meditation and chanting that I have told you to do between the eyebrows, and if you can meditate on Brahman with it, you will do it too. Repeated meditation may lead to heat and pain and the possibility of serious illness; So you don't go to the Sahasrara for meditation. If one continues to meditate on the great Brahman with the meditation of Sri Sri Radhakrishna in the womb, the Kundalini energy gradually rises. Sri Sri Radhakrishna will be known as Paramatma Parabrahma. He is the all-pervading advaita akhand Chidananda svarupa but has assumed Suchinta Vigraha for the convenience of the devotee's meditation. Thus thinking that all worldly objects – mother, father, wife, sons, daughters, relatives and all other houses, bricks, trees, leaves, animals, birds, insects, human beings, gods are all forms of Him – He is nothing in a different world. Practicing is called meditation on the all-pervading Brahman. Judge and see - your parents, wife, children have a relationship with all of them because there is something present in them. When he goes out from among them all at once, all the bodies will rot and mix with the earth or be burnt, then there will be no connection with anyone.
