Satsang, a man-making mission

Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra founded the Satsang Movement as his mission to reform and transform human beings from directionless self-centered beings into ideal-centric personalities with vigour and vitality. Sree Sree Thakur called Satsang a man-making institution. In his early life, he set up his ashram in Himaitpur, Pabna, Bangladesh. Within no time, many activities started building up in the Satsang ashram which included cottage industry, scientific research, publication of divine literature, etc. Later he set up an ashram in Deoghar,  in the state of Jharkhand, India. Sree Sree Thakur lives on eternally in the hearts, minds,  and spirits of his ever-growing multitude of followers worldwide who feel his soothing, loving, fulfilling touch in their lives and who through their concentric love for Sree Sree Thakur, continue to move towards eternal ‘being and becoming’ along with their family, community and environment.

Sree Sree Thakur and His Life

Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra was born as Anukulchandra Chakravarty in the Himaitpur village of Pabna district of British India which is now a part of Bangladesh on 14th September 1888. Mr.Sivachandra Chakravarty and Mrs.Monomohini Devi were his father and mother respectively. Recognised early as a child prodigy, he was able to foretell about the destiny of the people in his surroundings and was able to provide guidance about leading a meaningful life to people from an early age. As per his mother's wish, he studied medicine at the International Medical School (1907-1910).

​

He wrote the book Satyanusaran-The Pursuit of Truth, a great source of the divine messages unfolding everlasting life and light, in the course of one night in 1910 at the age of 22 years. 

​

In his early twenties, he and his friends and companions started performing intense kirtan. During kirtan, he often went into a state of trance, fell on the ground unconsciously, and uttered messages in that condition. His going into trance during kirtan, delivering holy messages during trance and the devotion of those around him started attracting many more people. Several people came to his village to visit him and began to settle permanently, and gradually his village home was converted into an ashram.

 

The personality, life, and teachings of Thakur Anukulchandra mediate between science and spirituality, personal affirmation and self-transformation, individualism, and social commitment. He advocated the total involvement of the self in the service of the Guru with constant practice of the mantra imparted by the Guru to ensure success in life. Discipline in his view, consisted of voluntary regulation of one’s thoughts, speech, and actions under the Guru’s wish. His all-fulfilling love transformed the lives of many anti-social elements. Miracles are reported to have occurred in the lives of his devotees.

​

He brought the sublime into daily life, approaching life’s problems in a balanced, dynamic, rationalistic, and scientific way. As a student of the National Medical School of Calcutta, he believed that “Death was a curable disease”. He imbued his message with the eternal principle of “Being and Becoming”. His interests ranged from education to herbal medicine, science to philosophy, literature to politics. In His lifetime, thousands of messages for the well-being of human beings were uttered from His holy mouth.
