An ardent Vedantist
Religion for him was realization
God made no sense if he can’t give bread
A Hindu who believed purity is our real nature
Firm believer of faith in the self
Elevated social service to the level of divinity
“From dreams awake, from bonds be free,
Be not afraid, This mystery
My shadow, cannot frighten me
Know once for all that I am He”
The spiritual optimist undertook
Conscious journey
In the path of self-discovery
For him the key to Indian mind lies in spirituality
Believed he, India has not yet spoken her last word
It has much to offer
To the self, to others as well
Said the Sadchinanand
“”We must return and seek
The sources of life and strength
Within ourselves…”
A revolutionary educationist
Defiant, orthodox, yet not pious of the usual kind
An ocean of learning, compassion and generosity
A social reformer
Strived to change sick social customs:
widow remarriage, abolition of child-marriage
Born with "The genius and wisdom of an ancient sage
The energy of an Englishman
And the heart of a Bengali mother"
