My dear XYZ, 
                          Just today I received your letter dated 25 February 1993. One who wants to follow Swami Vivekananda should first be very practical, in every matter. To be upset by emotional disturbances is to be avoided at any cost.Clear thinking , strong resolve, persistent action to achieve the objective, should be the method.  
                   Certainly you do not have a chicken heart. And , though , you may think that you have a tiny mind, it is always a part of the Great Mind. You should never tremble like Arjuna on the battle field. That does not befit a follower of Swamiji. I do not remember what happened on 15 August 1991. It is not necessary to remember such days, Depression, Spiritual experience and madness for any cause ---all are to be thrown away.
          
  We should not hanker for spiritual experience, but what is needed is to grow spiritually. You have asked for my advice for health. But are you ready to accept it ? I think , if the doctor opines that you should continue your medicine, you should do it without asking any questions . Don't believe in Ketu or Rahu , but if your parents are happy if you use a few pieces of stones , you should do it without giving out your mind.     
                 
               You have not stated who asked you to take diksha .Until you feel the urge yourself , you should not take diksha being advised by anybody else. I don't understand why you are not interested in studying philosophy . I shall be personally very happy if you continue  with the study and later on I shall tell you how it will be useful. Put your mind to your studies and complete the course and then ask me . For that you need not pull a long face. 
                 
           Your love for the country will take concrete shape later on; you cannot see that now. Has anybody suggested to you that you should become a monk in the Ramakrishna Mission ? It should be your free choice and nobody can ask you to become a monk. Leave aside such advices. 
              
             Why should the unit be in trouble due to you ? Don't try to impose yourself upon others. Ask if you can render any service to the unit if others want it,  do as much you are asked to do . You should somehow eschew any attacking behavior towards anybody. That actually injures oneself.
     
          This is all how I can help you. It is up to you to see how much help you can get from all I have said. But I know , if you strictly follow what I have said, you will get the benefit.     

               With love and all good wishes 

Yours affectionately 

Nabaniharan Mukhopadhyay

To

The Secretary,

Jhumri-Telaiya Vivekananda Yuva Mahamandal.

Devi Mandap Road

Post - JhumriTelaiya 

Dist. Hazaribagh 

Bihar- 825 409.

  

Dear Sir, 

                      Received your report and accounts in connection with the programmes for the National Youth Day. In this respect a few points may be noted. You should go through the rules and regulations of the units of the Mahamandal and also the four-page printed instructions carefully and follow all guidelines. 

                 

                The papers you have sent in the envelope are not pinned. There are three sheets loosely kept. This is not proper .In no report you have put the date. The general report is also not signed. On the body of every report and letter the instruction is to give the full address of the unit. This has not been followed . The general report is also not addressed to the Secretary, Akhil Bharat Vivekananda Yuva Mahamandal. At the top of the general report , the period covered should also be indicated in every case. It is not clear to which period the report pertains.  

                    

            However , I am happy that you have been conducting the activities regularly. Do you have any children's wing attached to your unit ? What is the number of members of the unit now? 

                    Sometime back it was reported that you have now a separate office of the Mahamandal.  You should also mention where the study circle is being held and how many attend the study circle. How many of your members are following the daily routine prescribed by the Mahamandal and whether any improvement is being noticed . These are certain points which should invariably be in the report sent.

                

               Only holding study circle is not enough. Every member should try to improve their life and character. Everybody should be polite and also take initiative in the activities without trying to throw oneself forward . Every member should read all the publications of the Mahamandal not once , but repeatedly . Unless members improve the quality of their life and behaviour , holding of study circles only will be of no avail. 

               

            Everyone should try to understand what Swamiji wanted to teach and his teachings should be imbibed by all those who work in organization   in the name of Swami Vivekananda. Envying others or being egoistic is detrimental to the formation of character. All pettiness of the mind should be crushed .

              

              Broadness of heart is what counts. Everyone should try to love every other person and make no difference  between man and man. Unless we learn these things , it will be hypocrisy to take the name of Swami Vivekananda .                   

             Specially those who run the unit should carefully and repeatedly read the book on 'Leadership' and follow the ideas wholly. Just being efficient or taking one or two instructions leaving others aside is no good. Hope, everyone should try to follow this advice. 

          

          With love and good wishes to all 

Yours ever in service
