Ex-VC Burdwan University
[ Our College was affiliated with Burdwan University back in 1966 until SKBU was formed recently. ]
Dear Acarya Lalan ji,
I am grateful for your kind invitation to be present on the occasion of the inaugural ceremony of Ananda Marga College.
Please allow me to congratulate you and other workers of your organisation on this happy culmination of your efforts for the spread of higher education in a some what educationally backward part of our country. I am a ware of the high ideal that all of you stand for and efforts have taken such concrete shape to-day. I hope that this spirit of dedicates service will continue to burn within with steady flame and I am sure that with the blessings of God you will reach your destined goal.
Do not allow yourselves to be deflected from you straight path and your success is assured.With these few word I pray for the glorious success of your new institution which I hope will serve as a model of its kind.
Every people passes through stages of mental clarification, and each has to find its solution of the eternal problem with which nature confronts man, in order to find its own response to the challenge of Nature. The Orient never aspired to put the world in order. It has never been the Orient’s aim to conquer the out world, but to understand it and to adapt man to its order and working. We must, however, remember that history has never allowed man to return to the past in any total sense. We shall be equally blind if we do not recognize that ever major step forward for mankind must entail some loss, must mean some sacrifice of an older security and some heightening of new tensions.
I am sure that under your guidance our youth will be able to avoid the otherwise fateful encounter with Nothingness.
Yours Sincerely,
-Sd/- BRAJA KANTA GUHA, I. C. S.
