There is yet another fundamental link which had bound the three together for life, and this link is the ideology of Swami Vivekananda and their reverence towards him. Swami Vivekananda's teachings showed Subhas the way. In his words, "I was barely fifteen when Vivekananda entered my life." In a letter to Anil Roy, Leela Roy paraphrased Vivekananda's message, "'Women will solve their problems on their own - the external obstacles will have to be removed - thereafter, they only will decide on their course of action.' In my opinion, this is the right approach." That is why when a child appeared in her life, she started his moral training through biography of Vivekananda. Anil Roy wrote to Leela Roy on Vivekananda's birthday, "This day rocks me. It used to during my childhood, and in the same way it does today also...The new India and its idealism is the creation of one man." Anil Roy has also discussed Vivekananda in his book Philosophy of Netaji. He wrote, "The new India was initiated in the nineteenth century through the electric touch of Rammohun Roy's revolutionary genius. Vivekananda's genius and his organisational work led to the full blooming of that initiation. The deepest synthesis is of this age is available in Vivekananda's ideas. His art of synthesis has awakened India. The talent of synthesising is India's social uniqueness and Vivekananda touched at the root of this national character. That is why India, which was asleep, woke up to his call. Subhas was the carrier of the tradition of Rammohun and Vivekananda."

On Bose's request, Leela Roy presented the History of Women's movement in Bengal at the All India Women's Conference during the 1928 Congress at Kolkata (then Calcutta). As the sole representative of Bengal, Roy wrote a report for the Women's sub-committee of the Planning Commission, constituted according to Bose's suggestion in his 1938 presidential speech. In the same year, Roy founded the 'Mahila Sangha' under the auspices of the Bengal Congress. This was the first direct involvement of women in the National Struggle as a political entity. All Congress Women sub-committees of present times have their origin to the Mahila Sangha.

On the 29th of November, 1940, Bose commenced his historic hunger strike in the Presidency Jail. Upon release on 5th December, he arranged for a private meeting with Anil Roy and Leela Roy. On the eve of his departure to Europe, he bestowed upon Roy the editorship of the Forward Bloc weekly. In her first move, taken on 6th July, Roy wrote the editorial piece "The Arrest". This was followed up with "Follow Nagpur" on the 26th of October. The British Government swiftly moved to ban and restrict the publication of these issues and slapped a Rs 2,000 fine and a bail of Rs 5,000 was also set later.

For the next three decades, Leela Roy's pen kept alive the legacy of Bose, like a never ending flame, in the pages of Jayasree. When her time came, the responsibility of the publication was taken up by Sunil Das, revolutionary leader non-pareil. This was a responsibility he carried on relentlessly from June 1970 to April 1992 with single minded dedication. Each editorial on Jayasree resonates with the clarion call to the Indian People to dedicate their mind and spirit in the cause of Netaji and India, for the vision in whose implementation Netaji sacrificed his whole life, remains to be completed.

After the passing away of Sri Sunil Das, the responsibility of this task was taken up by Samar Guha. Throughout his life Guha tirelessly flew the flag of Netaji and campaigned aggressively to clear the myth of Netaji's death in an air crash at Taihoku. His endeavours opened a new chapter in the reawakening of the Netaji consciousness in contemporary India. His magnum-opus on Netaji mystery finally convinced the nation that the Subhas Bose chapter had not ended on Aug 18th 1945.

These luminaries all passed away in relative anonymity, forgotten by the country at large. It is not a coincidence that such fate befell the most dedicated followers of Netaji. And it is equally shameful that many small time opportunists have since then polluted the legacy of Netaji, some by denying him and others by commercialising the great soul of India into a commodity and making a profit in his name.

Guha passed away in 2002. The responsibility to keeping the torch of Jayasree aflame fell on the shoulders of Sri Bijoy Kumar Nag. He is at present the editor of Jayasree publication.

Many years have passed since the inception of Jayasree. The pages of Jayasree have on record the entire history of these forgotten times. Netaji disappearance conspiracy has entered its 60th year. The history of Indian Freedom movement has been rewritten and the names of innumerable self-sacrificing patriots have been rubbed off. But in the pages of Jayasree's archives every detail of the real struggle for freedom and the true account of Netaji Bose’s later life remains recorded for posterity. The pages are replete with the day to day happenings of the freedom struggle, the sharp rebuttals of Anil Roy in defence of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the true evaluation of his grand mission to free India.

This responsibility is still beholden to the Jayasree of today, without any break of continuity in the last six decades.
