POESY: READ AND CHANT

POESY:

READ AND CHANT

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●


Read and chant,

Chant and read,

Scripture study,

And sprout the seed.

Follow the word

And do the deed,

Save your all

To last in need.

Life is lovely

If you deftly weed.

With light, more light

Your soul so feed.

ISLAM

ISLAM ... 1


Islam is neither a religion nor a dharm. It is a deen, a comprehensive civilisation of sorts which is exclusive, absolute and uncompromising in its proselytising zeal. It considers itself as the last and absolutely perfect way of life here leading to the hereafter. It has received its mandate directly from Allah (The God) which therefore is inviolable. The Qur'an enshrines the message of Allah delivered unto Islam's Prophet through Angel Gibreel (Archangel Gabriel). This is the holy book of Islam passages of which are to be recited five times a day. This ritualistic reading is called Salat (Namāz in Urdu).

MESSAGES GALORE ... 114


MESSAGES GALORE ... 114


1. হিন্দুর জাগরণে ঐক্য, ঐক্যেই জাগরণ | আর জাগরণেই সংহতি, সংরক্ষণ ও সম্প্রসারণ | সম্প্রসারণেই শক্তিলাভ, জগতকল্যাণ, ইষ্টসিদ্ধি |


2. Hindus must not be apologists for their dharmic cause but must aggressively pursue it along spiritual lines.


3. Any religion that claims itself to be the only true religion and rejects all other religions as false is itself a false religion.


4. A spiritual organisation has a life of its own, its elements wedded together by a common ideal, that of love for the Ishtadevata/Ishtadevi and for the Sanātana Dharma. Come ye and be my associates in this grand venture to revive the Dharma and to spread it across the world for the benefit of all and sundry. 🕉


5. Evil cannot be eliminated unless evil ideology that generates it, is done away with. Herein lies the real Durgā Pūja.


6. Toxic theology grips the lowly mind and generates evil. Work at roots to eliminate it. Supplant theological toxicity with wholesome Vedanta.


7. Hindus must strengthen themselves. Strength is life. In it lies dharma. Study the scriptures daily, religiously to acquire this strength. Then practise the principles enshrined therein. 🕉


8. Each and every Sanātan sect must strengthen itself along individual lines but harmonise each other in the common 🕉 and the Brahman transcending all dualistic differences of Ishta and approach.


9. Hindu activists must be far more informed so that they can hold their own in debates concerning contentious historical issues.


10. কাজ করলেই হবে না | সে কর্ম নিষ্ফল যদি না সনাতন ধর্মের রক্ষণাবেক্ষণের জন্য করা যায় |


11. হিন্দুদের আরও গভীর এবং গম্ভীর হতে হবে | বড় বেশি চাপল্য, লঘুচিত্ততা, নিজধর্ম ও পরধর্মবিষয়ে জ্ঞানলাভে অনীহা | লক্ষণ ভাল না |


12. Do not be a coward. Fight it out. Life is struggle. And in the tribal present when our existence itself is under threat, we must arm ourselves in superb spiritual strength that will vanquish the enemy that is spreading within our ranks. Vice must be countered at all levels in every phase of life. There is much to do. Can you sleep? Or, worse still, when awake, can you idle away posing before the camera and present your physical self for others' compliments? Is this living a worthwhile life with selfies occupying centrestage and defence of the Dharma relegated to becoming last priority or of no consequence at all?


13. আমি নিরবয়ব, নিরুপাধিক চৈতন্যসত্তা, অটল অস্তিত্ব, অপ্রকাশ, স্বপ্রকাশ, পূর্ণ |


14. Sanātan interest must be upheld. That alone will preserve the nation and the world.


15. Reverting all Sanātani converts to Islam and Christianity back to the Sanātan Dharma is the only way to bring about the solidarity of the subcontinent and to ensure lasting peace.


16. Your faith in the Sanātan Dharm must be very strong, well-nigh unshakeable. Then alone will you be able to withstand the onslaughts of faiths hell-bent upon destroying the Sanātan Dharm by doctrinaire injunction and executive practice of such perverse principles.


17. Blame the ideology, not the individual. The individual is the victim and needs to be extricated from the ideology's toxic grip.


18. Speak direct. Speak the truth. Do not beat about the bush. Speak concisely, in a civil way, but the brutal truth. No compromise there. Truth cannot bear watering down anymore.


19. Today is the birthday of so many insignificant souls whose cumulative work has significantly swayed the fortunes of the nation for the better. In unity lies strength, in coordination construction. Unity of purpose, unity of end, unity of aspiration bring about fulfilment that is the happiness of all beyond dual distraction, the bliss that boundless abounds in the depths of the heart of all. 🕉


Happy birthday to all born this day from time immemorial!


20. 

কর্ম হ'ল ধর্ম, মোক্ষ হ'ল লক্ষ্য | 

জ্ঞান হ'ল ধ্যান, সর্বত্র আত্মপক্ষ ||


21. Vice will die and the Sanātan Dharm will be restored in all its comprehensiveness. Bhāratvarsh will become Akhand Sanātan again. 🕉


22. We are held in the vision cone of Thakur. But a gracious glance from him, and we are liberated.


23. The victory is yet to be won. The demon dances around still, changing form to confound the faithful. It is a battle that is raging. It is a victory in the wait. Let us fight on while Mother witnesses our valour that will vanquish the enemy and seat her firm, not in the firmament but in her earthly heartland that is Akhanda Bhāratvarsha.


24. Do not be enamoured of heaven or frightened of hell. Depend on your karma and carve out your destiny.


25. India won her independence through armed struggle. It was these martyrs to freedom who actually freed us, not the protagonists of passive resistance who falsely claimed the credit or were falsely credited with.


26. We need Sanskrit universities all over India to revive our national culture. Science and Sanskrit must be the two wings of our academic flight.


27. Those Hindus who have been converted to Islam and Christianity are unfortunate indeed as they are being deprived of Sanātan study and practice. Conversion has indeed been a vice for two millennia in Bhāratvarsha. The sooner the converts revert to the Mother Faith, the better for them and the better for the Great Mother embodied as the motherland who awaits their return.


28. Study like Max Mueller, comprehend like Swamiji, have insight like Thakur.

SAMBHAVĀMI YUGE YUGE ... 1


SAMBHAVĀMI YUGE YUGE ... 1


Man is slave to circumstance. The free man is rare. And yet how passionately the slave clings to its chains in the name of personal rights! 


The dust of desire has clouded vision. Love of the little has so settled in that the universal has been obliterated from sight. Insight is missing as a feast of the eyes in objects sensuous has assumed omnipresence with a misguided mind making its myriad mischiefs staple to his crass consumption. 


Man professes love but it is all trade in the senses. Located in the lowest three centres of consciousness, what does he know of love? Love corrupted, light dimmed, desires darkening life's discourse, whither moveth man but to a blind destruction? 


But the Lord is merciful. He descends from time to time whenever the load of life becomes unbearable and a piteous cry goes out from the heart of man, "O Lord, save us!" The Lord listens to the passionate pleas of the pious and assumes earthly form to sport and deliver. 


Such an hour has come again when He must reappear amongst us to deliver us from destruction, to destroy the evil-minded, to protect the pious and to reestablish righteousness that is nowhere to be seen today. He is the embodiment of the Sanātan Dharma and He shall set the Yugadharmachakra in motion once more to the life and light of all.

RUN IT WELL AND RUN NOT OUT OF TIME

RUN IT WELL AND RUN NOT OUT OF TIME


The inability to focus and concentrate thought-content in a few words is the reason why our programmes run short of time. Anchors introduce speakers too long for speakers to get time enough to speak. Invariably the initial speakers take up too much time leaving the latter ones barely minutes to deliver their words. This sort of mismanagement of time mustn't be. 


Effective moderation requires effective planning. The available time must be apportioned wisely, limiting the number of speakers and sticking to time-limits. Elaborate introduction and conclusive thanksgiving to each speaker by the anchor kills time unduly. This must be avoided. It is better to keep the number of speakers fewer in such programmes that would allow each such greater delivery-time. Also, such wastage of time by way of musical introduction, interlude and conclusion must be avoided in a tight programme schedule. Most important is skilful moderation of the programme which unfortunately never is. Thank you.

LET NOT THE SPIRIT SINK INTO MADNESS


LET NOT THE SPIRIT SINK INTO MADNESS


My mother is a human being, not a cow. Thank you. The proposition of certain spiritual leaders exhorting the government to declare the cow 'Rāshtra Mātā' is preposterous. While veneration of the cow which is even scripturally sanctioned is doubtlessly a noble attitude, to aver that it is not an animal but is in a separate category altogether as 'Mother of the Nation' is stretching things a bit too far. Such hyperstretch of religious conviction is tantamount to madness and cannot be counted as spiritual at all. The cow like all sentient beings is in essence the Spirit but cannot be singularly ascribed the epithet of 'Rāshtra Mātā'. I do not know a single human being who has been born of a cow despite the fact that most humans have been bred and brought up, fed and preserved on the cow's milk and its related products. Such nourishment derived from the cow's milk does not however make the cow the mother of man. That much for 'Rāshtra Mātā'. The episode in regard to this involving Swami Vivekananda and the propagator (prachārak) of the 'Cow Protection Society' ('Gorakshani Samiti') is pertinent. Swamiji's observations replete with devastating sarcastic wit is worth remembering. The nation ought to follow this modern sage of age-old wisdom if it aspires to rise to the due position of the spiritual preceptor of the world ('Vishva Guru'). Listening to half-cracked brains preaching mythological stuff as if they are literal truths to be followed will lead us back to the dark ages. Beware! Let discretion direct devotion. 🕉
