One of the first initiates of Rev Baba, Acarya Candranathaji left his mortal body at 0630 am today at his Patna residence. He was initiated in 1953 directly by Rev Baba, Himself.
He was one of the first Acaryas created by Baba at Jamalpur in the beginning of Ananda Marga. His contribution to the mission and Ananda marga society is immense.
Along side Baba, he was a main architect in building the organization and the longest sitting member of the Central Committee. In fact, he was the main inspiration behind the formation of the Central Committee and served it as President for many years.
All through his life he has been a guide and inspiration to Ananda marga society in many ways. He was not keeping good health for the last week or so.
Namaskar All..

With great sadness, I convey news that this morning (Saturday, March
24th), our most senior Ac. Candranath Kumar, passed into the lap of
his Beloved Gurudeva A'nandamurti.
As a pioneer in the earliest days of Ananda Marga he was among a
blessed group of Baba's chosen family men and women who laid down the
foundation of this Mission.
Braving adversity without the slightest hesitation or doubt, these
great souls prepared the way for us, all the while exhausting the last
samskaras separating them from their Beloved Guru Ba'ba'.
The loss of such a perfected sadhaka is a part of the inevitable march of
time.
However, we can all take spirit and hope from the ideal example set by
Dada Candranathji in his life.
Forever showing his gracious and kind heart to all, he was also a
fierce defender of principles.
History,in due course, will reveal the details of his efforts to guide
this Mission .
It is not possible to convey the love and respect I feel for this
great sage and saint of our Mission.
I have been in touch with the family over the past two weeks on almost
a daily basis.
In time, some details of these last days will become known.
For now, the sadness at this loss washes over me in waves.
Personally, I had the honor to study the practice of sadhana, and
especially vishesh yoga, under his care for 9 years of visits. To
explain the care and sacrifice, patience and love shown to me is
simply not possible.
Under his guidance my entire practice was transformed, clarified and
enriched beyond what words can describe.
For this, I am forever indebted beyond any scope to repay what I have
gained.
I recall on occasion using my meagre wit to try to coax Dadaji into
making a commitment for yet another lifetime.
The motivation for this, while not to be taken too seriously, was for
the sake of all of us.
Dadaji always responded in a similar way...."This also we should leave
to the Lord." .. "This is up to the Guru."
One day, Dadaji was lamenting as to how long he must wait to leave
this world...like a poet he spoke of sitting on the bank of the
river..."Oh, my LORD, I am waiting for your boat. How long must I
wait?"
Immediately, I began to chide him..."DADAJi..you wish to leave! You
will be filled with bliss, while all of us will cry. Don't talk like
this!" Dadaji smiled in a sweet and knowing way and became quiet.
Later he told me that his time was short..and he emphasized "NOT EVEN
FOR A SINGLE SECOND SHALL I FORGET HIM...NOT EVEN FOR A SINGLE
SECOND!"
Such wisdom, spiritual perfection and determination is a shining
example for us all.
We have lost a guiding light, a truly shining example of perfection in
spiritual life.
I am truly happy that I knew this great soul.
I am truly happy that I was given a chance to know an ideal man.
He will be in my heart forever.
As he liked to say so often...BA'BA' KRPAHI KEVALAM....Ba'ba's Grace is All.
Goodbye Dadaji...I love you very much.

Spanish Translation
BA'BA' NA'M KEVALAM
Con gran tristeza les trasmito la noticia que esta mañana (Sábado 24
de marzo, 07) nuestro más antiguo acarya Candranath Kumar pasó al
regazo de su Amado Gurudeva Anandamurti.
Como pionero de los primeros días de Ananda Marga se encontraba entre
el grupo bendecido de hombres y mujeres con familia elegidos por Baba
que establecieron la fundación de esta Misión. Haciendo frente a la
adversidad sin el menor titubeo ni duda, estas grandes almas
prepararon el camino para nosotros, a la vez de agotar los últimos
samskaras que los separaban de su Amado Guru Ba'ba'.
La perdida de tal perfeccionado sadhaka es una parte de la inevitable
marcha del tiempo. No obstante, todos podemos tomar el espíritu y la
esperanza del ejemplo ideal establecido por Dada Candranathji en su
vida.
Por siempre exhibiendo a todos su gentil y amable corazón, era también
un fiero defensor de los principios.
En debido tiempo la historia revelará los detalles de sus esfuerzos
para guiar esta Misión.
No es posible trasmitir el amor y el respeto que siento por este gran
sabio y santo de nuestra Misión.
Estuve en contacto diario con la familia las dos últimas semanas. Con
el tiempo algunos detalles de estos últimos días se darán a conocer.
Por ahora, la tristeza de esta perdida son ondas que me embargan.
Personalmente, tuve el honor de estudiar la práctica de la sa'dhana' y
especialmente vishesh yoga bajo su cuidado por 9 años de visitas.
Explicarles el cuidado y el sacrificio, la paciencia y el amor que me
brindó simplemente no es posible.
Bajo su guía se transformó toda mi práctica, se clarificó y enriqueció
más allá de lo que pueden explicar las palabras.
Por eso, estoy por siempre en deuda, más allá de cualquier extensión,
debido a lo que he ganado.
Recuerdo una ocasión en que utilizé mi exiguo ingenio para intentar
disuadir a Dadaji de comprometerse para otro vida.
El motivo, sin tomarlo con demasiada seriedad, era para el beneficio
de todos nosotros. Dadaji siempre respondía en manera similar.
"Esto también debemos dejárselo al Señor. Eso está en las manos del
Guru"
Un día Dadaji se lamentaba de cuanto tenía que esperar para dejar este
mundo . . . como un poeta habló de sentarse en la rivera del río. .
. "Oh mi Señor, estoy esperando tu bote. ¿Cuánto tengo que
esperar?"
De inmediato empecé a censurarlo: ¡DADAJI! ¡tú deseas irte! Tú
estarás colmado de éxtasis mientras todos nosotros lloraremos. ¡No
digas eso!" Dadaji sonrió suavemente y quedó callado.
Más tarde me dijo que le quedaba poco tiempo y enfatizó: "NI POR UN
SEGUNDO LO OLVIDARÉ. NI POR UN SOLO SEGUNDO!"
Tal sabiduría, tal perfección espiritual y determinación es un
reluciente ejemplo para todos nosotros.
Hemos perdido una luz orientadora, un verdadero ejemplo brillante en
la vida espiritual.
Estoy verdaderamente feliz de haber conocido esta gran alma.
Estoy verdaderamente feliz que tuve la oportunidad de conocer un hombre
ideal.
Estará en mi corazón para siempre.
Como le gustaba decir con tanta frecuencia:
BA'BA KRPAHI KEVALAM-
LA GRACIA DE BA'BA LO ES TODO
Adiós Dadaji. Te amo muchísimo
Dada Manavendrananda
Dear brothers and sisters,
ReplyDeleteWe lost the senior most family purodha - Ac. Chandranathji this morning. A
great soul, totally dedicated to Baba, is no more with us. Surely, he has
merged himself in the Parama Purusha. His moral support and guidance to us
in all our activities to awaken family margiis and training them for
tattvikas/acaryas will never be forgotten.
He was a staunch supporter of the idea that unless grihiis became aware and
active, it will not be easy to establish Baba's mission.
With brotherly regards
