Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra, fulfiller the best of the recent times, descended on the earth 124 years ago in a hamlet called Himaitpur of Pabna district, now in Bangladesh. He was as normal as any child, with the same colour and size, having everything same as a normal child would have, but still he was totally a supernatural human being, above everything of this world and it was a fact proven later in his life. Once a doctor declared him dead with no sign of pulse activity. But he stood on his feet after some time and stated that he was in a different world where everything is so beautiful; where there were so many angels coming down the road and the sun was shining bright with soothing temperature. Everybody was happy. These verses make the other standing people nearby stunned and amazed thinking that he is not normal. Though Sri Sri Thakur never believed in miracles, but some of his activities made people understand as miracle.
Many people visited "Satsang Ashram" both in Bangladesh and in India and would said after seeing the activities as the most interesting and innovative place to make "Human Being" a perfect man in all round activities. In fact Sri Sri Thakur had no intention of making any "ashram" rather he would say this is the actual way to live and let other to grow with you. The process of life and growth in association with the surrounding was stated as "Being and Becoming". During the course of time, "Satsang Ashram" groomed out of love and labour, that Sri Sri Thakur rendered for the people and a cluster of his followers joined with him.
In that perspective, we the devotees of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra in USA, having origin in different countries, viz India, Bangladesh, United States Of America and Canada, have decided to come to a common platform from where we can start doing some work in the line of ideas and principles laid down by our beloved Lord.
Actually Sri Sri Thakur's activities were started in this land of opportunities way back in early seventies of twentieth century by an American Ritwik, famous in Satsang world, as Ray Archer Hauserman. He traveled extensively many Eastern Coast and Mideast areas to propagate Sri Sri Thakur's ideology, in a very unfavourable condition, where people socially, mentally were so down fallen that no body would give any attention to those teachings. Overcoming those conditions and hard days, many people got initiated through him, having their local Ashrams in Glencove, Long Island of New York City. Slowly many people came and due to old age he couldn't travel and then people got scattered in search of livelihood. But once the movement started automatically it got fuelled by His Blessings after 1999 as once again it got rejuvenated and many Gurubhais came in contact with each other and once again performing Sittings or "Adhivesans" frequently thereby getting new people in contact and initiated.
We have already celebrated the 112th birth anniversary of Sri Sri Thakur in Montreal, Canada in September 1999 and Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA in November 1999. In December 2000, we celebrated 113th anniversary once again in Lansdale,USA. Recently on 20th May 2001, we observed an Adhivesan or sitting in our local Prayer Centre in Lansdale where approximately more than forty people attended. Disciples as far as Maryland and Atlantic City came to be blessed by his holy Satsang.Sri Sri Thakur's disciples are scattered in the states of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersy, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Georgia, California, Idaho, Michigan, Arkansas and many more states in USA and at Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary, Ottawa in Canada. In the mean time six persons got initiated and still we are in infant stage. By his holy grace we have developed a full-fledged Website in the name of our beloved Lord as www.srisrithakuranukulchandra.com. The site has attracted the view of sizeable cross section of people and we are able to connect to many inquisitive persons through e-mails. We plan to make that site a hub of literary contact worldwide.
Our forthcoming activities will be to strengthen and develop us socially, economically, personally and mentally by propagating his teachings, philosophy and ideology across the globe, so that not even an individual be unacquainted with the name of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.
May Sri Sri Thakur bless us, one and all, thereby getting strength to eradicate evil and strengthen the wave of peace and prosperity.
