Sri Sri Kaibalyanath



Kaivalyadham, located in Pahartali, Chattagram, Bangladesh is the main centre of pilgrimage for his devotees. There is a website managed by the trustees which lets us know about the current activities of the organisation .

According to him he is available even more now,than when he lived in body. His life and activities is shrouded in a veil of mystery. Even his closest disciples knew little. He himself preferred to remain unpublished. However some facts have come to light through his close admirers. In fact the greatness of this saint has been spoken of and accepted by many seers whom people regard highly. It is a true fact that the mighty Himalayas the abode of snow, is a hidden haven for great yogis and seers even to this day. There are great ascetics in the Himalayas whom people will never know. Sri Sri Ramthakur is a personality of such stature. So, I feel it is rather very difficult to blog on such a divinity. However sometimes due to some reason we catch a whiff of smell of unseen and unknown whereabouts of fully bloomed flowers not logged in the books of botany.

I also believe that without Sri Sri Thakur Ramchandra Dev's wish it is not possible to write something about him. Sometimes his divine powers manifested in front of his disciples. On enquiring, he used to make the matter appear elementary and remarked that these things simply happen.

Thakur (as referred, by his disciples) wrote many letters to his followers. These letters were compiled into a book called "Vedavani". Apart from this some of his close disciples wrote memoirs. Most of this books are in Bengali, and it is not very easy to translate them in english or in other language. As there is always a chance of not being able to interpret the sense Thakur imbibed in his words.

Mahamahopadhyay Dr. Gopinath Kabiraj is known alround the world for his meticulous writings on various spriritual personalities, whom he had met. In his lifetime he had many times talked directly with Thakur, which he later on published. About Thakur he says " Among the several prophets who descended in Bengal in the 20th century He ( Sri Sri Ram Thakur ) was one of the greatest. Albeit He did not have advanced formal education, great men of His stature possessing spiritual or supernatural wealth are very rare".
