Abstract
India is great. It is great not for any worldly possessions but for the priceless possession of spiritualism and the leading luminaries of Vedic Literature. “When people in other countries were still using barks for clothes and lived in tree-holes and caves, Aryans, in Aryan land, on the banks of river Saraswati were singing hymns of God and were far advanced in civilization” (Yogi Guru/English/p-1). Vedas are India’s treasure. India is proud and honored for Vedic Religion, Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma is eternal. This eternal possession of our beloved mother land Aryabarta Bharatbarsha is our religion. Swami Nigamananda is a pioneer preacher of Sanatana Dharma the oldest order of religions of the world. His philosophy synthesizes knowledge and love (Bhakti). The union of Sankara and Gouranga is the synopsis of his life time contribution. His finding is one of the most important features of Sanatan Dharma. He dedicated his life for the cause of Sanatan Dharma. He is unique to get Nirbikalpa Sidhi of Vedanta and realizing the ultimate truth of this ephemeral universe in a shortest period of time frame. His whole life was an adoption and embracing of the ancient religion of India to the new problems of life. Nigamananda who was an engineer by profession got married to an elegant lady Sudhansubala, whose death was incidental in the change of his life. After the death of his wife he saw her astral figure time and again and became mad to know the existence of life after death. He was confident that life exists after death. So he wanted to see his dead wife and set out to achieve his goal that leads him to be a Sadguru the enlightened one. Really it is historic as well as unbelievably wonderful.
