ശുഭാനന്ദഗുരുദേവന്റെ വചനങ്ങള്‍ ആധുനീകസമൂഹത്തിന് വെളിച്ചമാവേണ്ടതാണ്. വര്‍ത്തമാനസമൂഹത്തിന്റെ ദുരവസ്ഥക്ക് ഇത് ഒരു ദിവ്യൌഷധമാണ്.
ബാഹ്യശുദ്ധി ആവശ്യമാണെന്നാണ് ഗുരുദേവകല്പന.വ്യക്തിശുചിത്വം ഗുരുദേവന്‍ നിര്‍ബന്ധമാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.കുളിക്കാതെ കിടന്നുറങ്ങാന്‍പേയ സ്വാമി നീലകണ്ഠതീര്‍ത്ഥരോട് ഗുരു കുളിക്കാനാവശ്യപ്പെട്ടത്,”അവതാരപുരുഷനായ എന്റെ ഗുരുദേവനി‘ല്‍ തീര്‍ത്ഥര്‍ വിവരിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളതാണ്.
മദ്യാസക്തി ഗ്രഹിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ആധുനീക കേരളത്തിന് ഗുരുസ്മരണ വഴികാട്ടിയാണ്.തൊഴിലെടുക്കുന്ന സമൂഹത്തിന് മദ്യം നിര്‍ബന്ധമായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു.ഗുരുദേവന്‍ മദ്യപാനത്തിനെതിരെ ശക്തമായി പ്രതികരിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ഉദ്ബോധനം വിലപ്പെട്ടതാണ്.മദ്യപാനത്തെ മഹാപാപങ്ങളിലൊന്നായി അദ്ദേഹം കണ്ടിരുന്നു.ആത്മബോധോദയസംഘത്തിന്റെ സ്വാധീനം പതിതരില്‍ മദ്യാസക്തി കുറയ്ക്കാന്‍ ഇടവരുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.
ആധുനീക ഇന്‍ഡ്യന്‍ സമൂഹം സാമൂഹ്യനീതിക്കുവേണ്ടി പോരാടുകയാണ്.അധഃസ്ഥിതന്റെ നന്മ ഗുരുദേവന്റെ ലക്ഷ്യമായിരുന്നു.ജാതിപ്പിശാചിന്റെ പീഢനം ഗുരുദേവനു നേരിടേണ്ടിവന്നത് ചരിത്രമാണല്ലോ.ആദ്യാത്മീക മേഖലയില്‍ അധഃസ്ഥിതനനുഭവിച്ച അയിത്തവും,അവഗണനയും അവസാനിപ്പിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു ഗുരുദേവന്റെ താത്പര്യം.ശുഭാനന്ദാശ്രമങ്ങള്‍ ആലംബഹീനരുടെ ആശാകേന്ദ്രങ്ങളായി മാറിയിട്ടുള്ളത് സന്തോഷകരമാണ്.
സാമ്പത്തികമേഖലയിലും,സാമൂഹ്യനീതിയിലുമാണ് ഗുരുദേവന്‍ ലക്ഷ്യംവച്ചത്.സഹകരണമേഖലയുടെ ഭാവി ഗുരുദേവന്‍ പ്രവചിച്ചിരുന്നു.അദ്ധ്വാനത്തിന്റെ മഹനീയതയെ ഗുരുദേവന്‍ അംഗീകരിച്ചിരുന്നു.
ഭൌതീകനേട്ടങ്ങള്‍ ആധുനീക മനുഷ്യനു വേണ്ടുവോളമുണ്ട്.പക്ഷേ,സമാധാനമില്ല.ഇതിനു പരിഹാരമാണ് ആത്മബോധം.ശരീരബോധം വെടിയുന്നതിലൂടെ മാത്രമേ ആത്മബോധത്തിലെത്താന്‍ കഴിയുകയുള്ളു.ഇതിലൂടെമാത്രമേ ആധുനീകസമൂഹം നേരിടുന്ന ദുരന്തങ്ങളെ നമുക്കു തടയാന്‍ കഴിയൂ.ഗുരുദേവദര്‍ശനങ്ങള്‍ നമുക്ക് വെളിച്ചം നല്‍കട്ടെ.

Subhananda's Teachings,Preachings and Messages
Gurudev stayed at Subhanandashram,Cherukole,to spread his principles and raise the consciousness of man through his disciples from various caste and creeds.He preached among the masses at various villages at Onattukara at Venad, especially among the down trodden untouchable castes of that time,counseling them, consoling them,uplifting them from the darkness of ignorance towards the light of knowledge.A few of His important teachings and messages to the mankind can be summed up as follows.
The jeevaathma the Godness, the God that shines in us and the truth and righteousness, Sathyadharma,the goodness,is hidden by Maya the ignorance in darkness,Maayaandhakaara,in every human being. In order to eradicate the ignorance and to instill and enlighten the truth in us, Lord Subhananda had mercifully disclosed the heavenly truth to the disciples.Gurudev teaches followers to attain self realization in order to see Paramathma, the eternal light which resides inside all of us. Man is not self illumined, the Guru lights the lamp in us and as the light emanates one can see oneself. This precept is akin to Christ's proclaim,"I am the way and the light"and the Upanishad teachings, "Asatho ma Sat Gamaya,Thamaso ma Jyothirgamaya,Mirthyur ma Amrutham Gamaya" is similar to this.
God chooses His favorites from the unpolluted and guides them what they are and how they must become one with His own image. Many people miss this great significant opportunity of such a rare but beneficial experiences and go blindly to the worldly way.Hinduisam asserts that humans are continually reborn,until they reach Moksha, a state of union with God or Paramathma,union with the impersonal Absolute as what followers of the advaitha (Non Dualism)school believe.Advaita Vedanta,believes in complete identity between the inmost self and the impersonal,ultimate God.The final goal of salvation is to escape from the endless round of birth, death, and rebirth.The ultimate goal of life, referred to as moksha, Nirvana or Samadhi, is described as the realization of one's union with God;realization of one's eternal relationship with God;realization of the unity of all existence;perfect unselfishness and knowledge. With divine knowledge from a Guru, one can seek union with God and gain this eternal bliss.Wander not in search of God;Gain his vision in our Atma.We need not wander about in search of God.God is within us.But our worldly knowledge cannot help us to realize God.When people are unable to get contentment from worldly life they experience an aversion to the objective pleasures and seek ways to arouse the divine consciousness that is latest within them.We run after worldly pleasures and these results in worries,greed and discontentment.Only if we have knowledge of Atma,we can experience the union with God, free from the habits of sin and escape from the hell of all evils of Janmapaapam,karmadosham and Jeevanaasam.
This divine knowledge,Atma Njana, can be gained only under the guidance of a self illumined Guru.God when incarnates as AvatarGuru,He teaches us the knowledge of divinity,the athm,the God that shines within us.Real knowledge is the result of spiritual development and can be strengthened by constant communion with the Guru.By this divine knowledge one can recognize the ignorance within oneself and destroy it.Only good and noble deeds,Nishkaamakarma' are done with divine knowledge,which leads to realization of God within us.Approach Guru for salvation and obey his teachings and advices and enjoy the bliss that divine knowledge that Guru confers.Guru dew ells in the devotional abode of every one's heart.Those
who can realize the Guru ,'Jnana Swaroopa',within them get inner vision.This inner vision is divine knowledge or 'Jnana'.Thus we can experience divine ease and peace,Santhi,by placing ourselves in the hands of the Avatar Guru.
He reiterates the message that there is only one God who is omnipresent,omniscient and omnipotent.He is all merciful.He is 'Satchithananda Swaroopa'.This world created by Him is wonderful and mysterious. The easiest way of realizing Him is to take the path of faith, devotion and purity of heart.No amount of worship of the idols of God or knowledge of scriptures can avail us to earn His Grace,if one dose not have love and compassion for all living beings;if one cannot control one's mind and maintain equilibrium. One need not even go far or wander in search of God. God is found within oneself .Know thyself and thou shall know the Supreme self.
Gurudev was up against caste-ism and had aimed at establishing a casteless society. Divine Knowledge,is the creator;He created this beautiful world for the human being to live peacefully and harmoniously by following the path of 'Athma Bodham',Sarva Njana.He supports faith in one God and ardent devotion to Him.God created no caste and religion as all are His children and are equal to Him.He has not discriminated among castes.No religion is high or low,superior or inferior.It is made so by ignorant man.Essentially and naturally there is no difference between man and man.The worst out-caste is not the one who eats a carcass but the one who feeds himself on the living, one who exploits his fellow men.
He speaks as to how we should live in this world. In placing Truth, Righteousness and Non-violence on the highest rank of values;in cautioning his fellowmen against anger,greed and jealousy; and also cautioning against the vice of consuming intoxication's,in sympathizing with the poor and the downtrodden and in considering the life of a good house holder,a Grihasthashrami,is more cove table than the life of a half-hearted ascetic.It is clear that what Gurudev approves of is spirituality and not religion.Quite in keeping with Hindu Philosophy and its spiritual tradition,Subhananda stresses on self or realization of God as the main goal of life.In doing so He upholds the integration of a clean worldly life and
spiritual Sadhana.If one is careful not to indulge in the gratification of carnal desires,the worldly life of virtuous and moderate enjoyments will be a sort of preparation for a higher spiritual enlightenment.But for this there must be proper guidance from a Guru,a Spiritual Master,who is the embodiment of love and kindness.More intellectual brilliance,education,hard efforts or even austerities without the merciful guidance of a Guru will take us nowhere.There is none higher than the guru who is capable of taking us to the God.So,one must serve a Guru with all his heart and soul.At the same time one must be careful about hypocrites and false gurus.
men do not become great or wise by merely being in the monasteries or spiritual places.He who is free from Ashta Ahankaras,from lust,anger,greed,desire,rage,competition,arrogance and ego, is the Jnani.Only those who have had the spiritual experience may be respected.The ways of the spiritual awareness"Anubhavanjana"are different.Even knowledge of philosophy
or scholarship in scriptures is of no use.It is not just a shaven heard or ochre robes or any such external appearance that make an ascetic.It is the inner maturity,purity and oneness of mind in renunciation and personal experience of the supreme that make one a saint.He,who has known his own self,has absorbed light and who follows the light is the real Janani.Man is innocent as a child.He is always in the highest state of cosmic consciousness.He does not discriminate between one thing and another and sees no difference,'Bheda Budhi',between 'oneself' and 'another',or between his own self and the universal self. And he sees only one and the same self in every one,'Ekathava Bodham'in everything even in the supreme reality.
yet he remains silent, modest and always in a blissful state.Steps are clear to attain this state.
Devotion to God is the best and the finest path to salvation. If the heart has such faith and devotion, the body itself becomes a temple.There is no need to go to any temple or spiritual center. Sincere prayer,yearning for a lofty life and the company of the good and the virtuous devotees,Sat Sang,and careful avoidance of the bad and the foolish, are essential in spiritual sadhana. There is hope of redemption even for the worst of sinners if only they truly repent and surrender to God.Faith in God or even in the guidance of a powerful Guru is the boat that takes them safely across the ocean of life to the other shores of everlasting bliss.
Besides one should be true to oneself and should have a clear conscience.There should be no difference between what clear conscience.There should be no difference between what one thinks, what one says and what one does.If one pursues the path of truth and righteousness,Sathyadharma,with oneness of mind, surely the kindness of Guru and the grace of God will flow in abundance and help one to conquer one's ego, the Ashtahankara.Then one will be lead to experience the highest spiritual bliss. There are no words to describe that blissful experience,only Supreme Silence reigns there. That is the sign of Supreme Wisdom and enlightenment.Those who only talk about it betray themselves that they have not yet realized it. One who
experience this supreme state is at once liberated from rebirth,Punarjanmam,the cycle of births and deaths.This is the essence of knowledge worthy of attainment.There is nothing higher than this as there is nothing brighter than this. One, who has this Knowledge,Njanam,sees clearly in oneself God and identifies oneself with the entire universe

Atma Bodhodaya Sangam

Subhananda Gurudev founded an Organization, the Atma Bodhodaya Sangham (Reg.No.144 /1107), with its head quarters at Cherukole, Mavelikara, supporting the belief of ‘One Caste, One Religion and One God for the Mankind’, for achieving ultimate Self Realization. He, along with Swami Dharma Theerther. B.A.,LL.B, the then Secretary of Sree Narayana Dharma Sangham, founded by Sree Narayana Gurudev, Sivagiri Madom, Varkala, as Advisor, registered it at Mavelikara Sub-Registrar Office on 6th May 1932. Sree Narayana Guru (1865– 1928) was stated to be the Athmeeya Guru, the Spiritual Guru of Swami Subhananda. By that time more than 33 Branches and 20 Ashrams had already been established by Subhanada Gurudev in different parts of Central Travancore, uniting the common mass, especially from the lower castes that were denied the basic human rights and freedoms of worship. His Highness Artist Ramavarma Raja, uncle of the then Sree Chithira Thirunal Maharaja of Travancore, has later become the Patron of the Sangham.
The name “Atma-Bhododaya Sangham,” literally means “organization to enlighten wisdom”; perhaps it is the only organization of this nature in the world. This was His noble mission and the head quarter is the holiest Subhananda Ashram in Cherukole, Mavelikara, Alleppey District in Kerala, South India and that continues to be the same till now. The Sangham upheld the path of Bhakthi and righteous living, and had founded a new social order wherein all distinctions of class, colour, creed, caste, or sex were deliberately discarded and removed. The religious dogmas, rituals and superstitions were condemned. A new spiritual order, with its own rituals and rules and regulations (Vyavastha), apt for the Kali Yuga Moksha for mankind had been established. Atma Bodham (knowledge about the soul) is Subhananda (auspicious bliss), embodiment of heaven.
The great mission of Atma-Bhododaya Sangham is to spread the message of peace and oneness and to establish the moral deed of “Sathya-Dharma”, truth and righteousness,which is hidden in every human-being by Maya the ignorance. Thus, in order to eradicate the ignorance and to instill and enlighten the truth in us, Lord Subhananda has mercifully disclosed the heavenly truth to the disciples during His various prayer discourses. Subhanandam is the eternal and everlasting auspicious peace that Jagath-Guru Subhananda spreads to the mankind. Gurudev teaches followers to attain self realization in order to see the eternal light which resides in all. Man is not self illumine, but the Guru lights the lamp in him and in the light emanates he can see himself.
Subhananda disciples who had experienced the ecstasy are working in all parts of India and abroad spreading the message of love and harmony to reach the oneness among us and get to know about the blissful values. Subhananda Gurudev stresses the primary need for educating people to abstain from Five Great Sins such as adultery, intoxication, tormenting others, violence and idol worship. Intoxication such as consumption of liquor and narcotics are harmful substances that lead to unrest at millions of homes and the society as a whole and as such it must be prohibited.
Subhananda Gurudev has been liberating tens of thousands of families from the malign practices through His divine discourses and awareness campaigns and spiritual rehabilitations. Educating the people is the only powerful way to eradicate poverty and slavery. Childrens care for the underprivileged (Anaadhasala), and Ayurvedic medical aid (Ayurveda Vaidyasala) for health-care are the other areas of concentration. In the early days Gurudev has been running old age homes and small scale industrial training centres. Gurudev devotees had constructed more than 30 ashrams at various places within this time and started providing innumerable social services to the underprivileged poor community. Childrens home, service to the aged and handicapped were also missions undertaken. Weaving centers and small scale agriculture based cottage industries were also started in order to provide living for the women and aged.
There were no external financial aid for these activities, and the devoted disciples, at times the Sanyasins often earned by working and even begging for help from the good hearted people. These activities were successful with the hard work and dedication by Gurudev and his dedicated Sanyasins and with the moral support from Maharaja Mahamahimasree Sreemoolam Thirunal Valiyathampuran. Gurudev had been doing this service for over twenty five years with the selfless assistance from his followers by imploring. However, due to intense requirement at that stage, and records reveal that in April 1935, Gurudev appealed to all the general public and well wishers to support his noble cause. Gurudev was prompt in maintaining accounts for all these activities and used to present it in the regularly conducted general body meetings of the Sangham.
The name “Atma-Bhododaya Sangham,” literally means “organization to enlighten wisdom”; perhaps it is the only organization of this nature in the world. This was His noble mission and the head quarter is the holiest Subhananda Ashram in Cherukole, Mavelikara, Alleppey District in Kerala, South India and that continues to be the same till now.

Childrens home, service to the aged and handicapped were also missions undertaken. Weaving centers and small scale agriculture based cottage industries were also started in order to provide living for the women and aged.
There were no external financial aid for these activities, and the devoted disciples, at times the Sanyasins often earned by working and even begging for help from the good hearted people. These activities were successful with the hard work and dedication by Gurudev and his dedicated Sanyasins and with the moral support from Maharaja Mahamahimasree Sreemoolam Thirunal Valiyathampuran. Gurudev had been doing this service for over twenty five years with the selfless assistance from his followers by imploring. However, due to intense requirement at that stage, and records reveal that in April 1935, Gurudev appealed to all the general public and well wishers to support his noble cause. Gurudev was prompt in maintaining accounts for all these activities and used to present it in the regularly conducted general body meetings of the Sangham.

In every kali Yuga when the ignorance is on the increase God will take the from of Kalki in the disguise of a man.Guru is the incarnation of kalki. The incarnation of Kalki means his faultless light of knowledge. The eternal bliss is the soul of Guru .He is the kalki of kaliyuga .Human being are in pitch of darkness.There are rays of light in hide.One should act to illuminate it.In the end to put out Kali ie,evils of men ,the knowledge attains the form of khadgi to fight out and win the kali.The real knowledge of self is Khadgi .In Kaliyuga Lord Kalki will kill the ignorance and will be successful in the action. Khadgi of Kaliyuga is a very sharp weapon which like the rising sun drives away the darkness. The Khadgi of Kaliyuga is the eternal Guru.
The kalki is a weapon that would extinguish anything. The Kalki is unblemished and when it is seen in the mind like this it would be so sharp a weapon .The highly learned people stand as weapon of Kalki so as to annihilate the ignorance. World of ignorance will be burnt to ashes. The brilliance in the soul is the weapon to destroy Kali.The ambition of Maya will be driven away when the rays of nobility reaches in the bosom. In the dancing flame of fire in the war between Kali and Kalki,kali will win and conquer the world of soul.
By the learning known as Kalki, one cannot understand self except through him.Guru is the comprehensive personification of knowledge.This is self Knowledge that is called real Veda. That is the salvation of Kaliyuga. You choose the Guru who can eliminate wickedness and can induce virtue in you to make you a wise man, make you clever unhesitatingly to smash the revolting Maya so as to live after prohibiting and destroying Maya .Salvation of humanity is being given in grace in Kaliyuga.Sin,curse and power of Maya have been removed and he has been joined in the other world.Human being are wandering unaware of the ultimate motive of birth since they are shrouded in Maya .if the human life is not polluted in desire for worldly pleasures because of the power of Maya, becoming one with Brahma is a certainty.
