This episode explores the life and legacy of Harichand Thakur (1812-1878), the revolutionary social reformer who founded the Matua sect in Bengal. We'll examine how this remarkable guru challenged Brahmanical oppression by establishing a spiritual movement based on three principles: truth, love, and sanctity. The episode delves into how Thakur's "atma darshan" (self-revelation) led him to create a path of devotion that rejected traditional Hindu rituals while uplifting the marginalized Namasudra community. We'll also discuss how his teachings on equality, devotion (bhakti), and the dignity of household life continue to resonate with millions of followers today across India and Bangladesh.
