Oi Mahamanab Ase - Netaji's Subhas Chandra Bose's after life and activities Part 1

A series of articles appeared in the Jayashree magazine by a certain penname called Charanik, which created some flutter in the later 1960s and 1970s. The writings were abstruse and cryptic and depicting the teachings of a certain spiritual person named Mahakaal who used to call himself a Mrito Bhoot or dead ghost. The narrations were based on journals and notes of the disciples of the aforementioned Mahakaal. Some of the intelligent mind however could ascertain the person behind Mahakaal, but the way the articles were written, they never gave away the names and the locations. Seasoned journalists like Barun Sengupta however sensed that there were more behind these articles and conjectured whether they pertained to Netaji. The articles only provided the activities, the viewpoints - both political and spiritual and some form of after life of a super human who was dead to the society. Since then, the articles have been republished by Jayashree in a book titled Oi Mahamanab Ase. The book has also been translated to English since then, but is not widely available.

The dead ghost in this narrative says, "Do you know what a ghost thinks? A ghost understands everything. After a the ghost leaves his belongings, those whom he had left behind would be redesigning it according to their own desires. The new owners think that we are enjoying his property and wealth, he must not return anymore to make claims. We must ensure that he does not return. He should not be able to provide any proof that he has returned. Make some grand designs so that he can never make a claim even if he comes back from dead. The ghost, perhaps, laugh! What he has renounced....could he make any claim on that? The ghost goes back, with a loud, hearty laugh, and wait bidding his time." - An apt description of the state of mind of a person who is officially dead and whom the state leaders refuse to accept for the fear of losing their position. 

The narrative also compares, in a most cryptic form, the narrator, to king Nala, who was bitten by the snake Karkotaka, whom he had saved from fire. In response to Nala's accusation that Karkotaka was a traitor, the snake said that he had returned the favour as Nala's enemies now wouldn't be able to identify him. He would be able to get back his form whenever he desired to return.

The narrator is a Sadhaka, a devotee of the mother Sri Durga Kali, whom he identifies with the janani janmabhumi or the mother land. The Sadhaka is a sannyasin but his prefered spiritual sadhana is Tantra. He has already realized mother Kali who had ordered him to work for her. It is her bidding that he is doing. His sadhana, mission is to see a rejuvenated India that is Akhanda, all areas restored and it would regain its place in the world as the spiritual master of all races and nations.

We'll try to deconstruct some of the activities of this Mahamanab as per his sayings -

After being declared dead the Mahamanab or Mahakaal went to China and from there to Russia. Before moving to China (Manchuria), Mahakaal stayed in Saigon and Ho Chi Minh was his host. He participated in the November conference in Vietnam and helped Vietnamese in their war against teh French. In 1946 he moved to Russia and met Stalin. He was possibly interned in a Gulag in Russia for sometime, briefly, but then gained the confidence of the Russian leadership who allowed him to move to China. They also helped him establish a secret base which he keeps referring to as his horizon, somewhere in the remote, uninhabited stretches of Siberia or near the Central Asia (Pamir) - a vast no man's land that does not come under any international jurisdiction. The Horizon conducts top secret work for the welfare of the world in general but India in particular.

Mahakaal in China became a great friend of Mao and helped Mao in gaining power, helped him in many ways in devising strategies. Mao returned his favour. He as a general fought battles there.

Mahakaal moved to India by traversing the length and breadth of the Himalayas but often traveled to his "base". 

Mahakaal as General Death or General Shiva helped Dalai Lama cross over to India and helped in organizing the Tibetan revolution. He also helped Vietnam in its war against the US. He advised the poet president to drop truckloads of addictive substance among the American troops which helped in decimating them. War, according to him, is a cold, calculated affair, and should be devoid of emotions. Mahakaal also played a significant role in the liberation of Bangladesh by actively working in organizing the Mukti Bahini forces.

Last but not the least, Mahakaal's goal and vision is to restore the unity and integrity of India and he would appear again when his goal is achieved. After that he would disappear forever.

Mahakaal was very bitter about communism. He predicted that the "Godless creed, which is just a few centuries old, would surely die. It would die at its source." He was working actively to ensure its destruction.

There are more to come. The story of the Ubermensch is fantastic but extremely cryptic and the narrative may sound gibberish. But once we begin to decipher we find glimpses of truth emerging.

The spiritual as well as occult is also well depicted, but more to follow.
