Satyanusaran

Written By SREE SREE THAKUR ANUKULCHANDRA

Atulchandra Bhattacharya was one of the dearest devotees of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra, the Supreme Love. His employment was to take him away from Pabna, where he was posted as station-master at the Bajitporeghat steamer station. So on the eve of the impending painful separation from his Beloved, he felt extremely distressed and prayed with tears of love that Thakur with His own hand write down messages to guide him and keep him ever-inspired with divine thought currents. This was in the Bengali year 1316 (1910 A.D.) when Thakur was only twenty-two years old. Then in one spontaneous outpouring, in the course of one night, Sree Sree Thakur wrote down these messages unfolding everlasting life and light. The prayer of the devotee had ushered into the world the benign flow of a celestial stream that would enliven him along with every other human soul through the ages.

Since the Bengali year 1325 (1918 A.D.) these supreme messages have been made available as the book called Satyanusaran (The Pursuit of Truth). In 1950 A. D. it was translated into English by the publisher, with the assistance of R. A. Hauserman. In the presence of Sree Sree Thakur, the translation was read out, discussed and compared with the Bengali by the publisher, Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya, Sarat Chandra Halder, Prafulla Kumar Das, Nani Gopal Chakraborty, E. J. Spencer, R. A. Hauserman and others; and it received Sree Sree Thakur's approval.
