PROPAGATE THE MASTER AND HIS MESSAGE WORLDWIDE WITH FIERY MISSIONARY ZEAL





PROPAGATE THE MASTER AND HIS MESSAGE WORLDWIDE WITH FIERY MISSIONARY ZEAL


Swamiji wanted the conquest of the world through Hinduism. As such he emphasised on aggression in terms of missionary zeal to bring it about. Swamiji said that either Hindus would conquer the world through the propagation of the Dharma or perish as a race shoild thry fail. He had grave doubts about how far 'the religion of the Bengalīs' would go. Towards the end of his life he was in deep distress that his work was to remain unfinished. That his followers have failed him largely---despite seminal achievements of theirs in philanthropy---in this missionary work is no secret and the consequences we are bearing as a race. Of course there have been political reasons for it and the general apathy of the lay devotees largely in giving shape to his ideas and ideals, but his monastic mission has also been rather meek, apologetic and passive in carrying out their General's plans. We now need to outgrow these self-imposed limitations, break through the barriers and with fiery fervour need to bring home Thakur-Ma-Swamiji to the masses in the motherland that is India and in the motherland that is the wide world. 🕉 Hindu!

THE PAIN THAT IS NOT YET PAST

THE PAIN THAT IS NOT YET PAST


Hindus have suffered a lot from Islamic invasion, conquest and rule. Women enslaved, sold in slave markets and to save honour, committed into committing self-immolation (jauhar). The death toll over a thousand years is estimated at 80 million at least. The forced conversion and population decline from the effects of oppression in the estimation of Ferishta was from 600 million to 200 million in four centuries. The loot, cultural desecration, demolition of thousands of temples and building of mosques at those very sacred sites using the very temple material, and burning of universities and viharas---the oppression was endless. And then came Partition and its horrors. There was relative relief for brief periods when the ruler was less oppressive. But the thousand year enslavement---never wholly, for India was large and never completely subjugated---has left a permanent mark on our civilisation that continues to traumatise us even today owing to active terrorism fuelled, funded, organised and orchestrated from across the border. We are yet to achieve Hindu-Muslim cohesion which has never been and perhaps will never be unless we can arrive at a true separation of religion and politics, although the Constitution provides scope for it. Doctrinally, though, Islam is terribly antithetical to Hinduism and if followed to the letter will never allow for Hindu-Muslim amity and peace, leave aside a close-knit unity. Hinduism accepts all religions as valid paths to God but not so Islam which is totally exclusive and intolerant of all other faiths. Hence, the future of India in terms of communal harmony is uncertain.

AWAKE ! AWAKE ! ... 2


AWAKE ! AWAKE ! ... 2


Hindus, unite! The genocide of Kashmiri Hindus must never be forgotten. The horrors of Kolkata and Noakhali must ring alarm bells forever. 'Never again', like the Jews say, we Hindus, who for 1300 plus years have suffered the worst genocide in human history, must also sound and resound till it tingles in the lifeblood of every Hindu. 'Unite the forces of good', as Swamiji used to say. Unite and organise. Help Hindu organisations that are trying to integrate the Hindus. Help each other. Treat each other well. Give up evil jealousy, the bane of our debilitated race. We must be brave. We must be bold. We must be magnanimous towards each other if we wish to win this civilisational war, if we are 'not only to survive but to conquer', as Sri Aurobindo put it. 🕉 Hindu!

AWAKE ! AWAKE ! ... 1


Hindu hospitality towards Abrahamic faiths has done untold damage to Hindus. Remember, proselytising faiths are forever predatory. Our numbers have declined and theirs increased at our expense, conversion doing the devastation to our civilisation till Partition dealt the deathblow. And the bleeding continues ever since. 1300 plus years of alien oppression with traitors within our ranks facilitating the devastation. Must we still sleep? Didn't Swamiji give up the wake-up call? Didn't Thakur descend to save us? Hasn't Mother forged afresh our umbilical links to Her that we may draw on Her resources to revitalise our race and live not only to defend but to conquer? Didn't Swamiji say that to propagate the message of the Vedānta the world over must be our foreign policy, that nothing less than the spiritual conquest of the world can save us from extinction? 🕉 Hindu!

MESSAGES GALORE ... 149


MESSAGES GALORE ... 149


1. Our numbers are declining and we are still a divided lot. How much more trauma must Hindus suffer, hom much longer will they in-fight before they wake up to the challenges that face them? Before you learn to love humanity as a whole, O Hindus, love your fellow beings!


2. India is safe so long as it is a vastly Hindu-majority nation. When the Hindus become a minority, India will be 'dead and gone'. Illustration: Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan of the erstwhile Akhanda Bhāratvarsha and of the current Indian subcontinent. 🕉 Hindu!


3. অর্থের এত দাসত্ব করলে সনাতনীরা রক্ষা পাবে না | তৃতীয় রিপুর বড়ই প্রকোপ আজ, লোভ সর্বত্র, রন্ধ্রে রন্ধ্রে, মজ্জায় মজ্জায় |


4. The most prominent Hindu spiritual organisations are too meek, too cowardly and, hence, by way of inference, too selfish in self-preservation when it comes to defence of the Dharma and the Sanātanis. This must not be. We must courageously combat all whose aim is to destroy the Hindus and their age-old ancestral faith.


5. Everybody suffers sorrow, are cramped by obvious limitations but few realise that they are bound souls bearing the yoke of eight fetters which they can and which they must overthrow.


6. Medical cost is killing.


7. Why must nations prey upon each other if man today is so civilised?


8. Teach your child VIVEKANANDA.


9. Children are the hope of humanity. Ramakrishna Mission, rapidly reach out to these fresh flowers of the garden of the Mother.


10. Why aren't Hindus allowed minority status in regions where they are a minority as in the Kashmir Valley where they have faced and continue to face terrible persecution? In a federation ought it not to be to safeguard Hindus against oppression?


11. স্বামীজী চলে গেলেন যখন, রাজা মহারাজ, শরৎ মহারাজ, নিবেদিতা, এঁরা ছিলেন | তাঁরাই শেষ যাত্রার ব্যবস্থা সব করলেন | কেউ না কেউ থেকেই যান যিনি দেখেন | হতভাগ্য সে যার কেউ নেই | কিন্তু তারও মা আছেন | মা অঙ্গিকারবদ্ধ |


12. স্বামীজী ইহলোক ছেড়ে চলে গেলেন | মেজভাই মহেন্দ্রনাথ তখনও দেশে ফেরেন নি | স্বামীজীর শেষ যাত্রার অল্প কিছুকাল পর ফিরলেন | কত কষ্ট মা ভুবনেশ্বরীর !


13. রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন খুব ভাল কিন্তু হিন্দুর রক্ষাকল্পে নানা কারণে এক প্রকার অকৃতকার্য | আপনারা সকলে রামকৃষ্ণ মিশনকে বলিষ্ঠ করুন |


14. স্বামীজী মেয়েদের নবজাগরণের জন্য সারদা মঠের স্বপ্ন দেখেছিলেন | মায়েরা, সারদা মঠের সাথে দলে দলে সংযুক্ত হয়ে সেই স্বপ্ন সফল করুন |


15. Genes, innate tendencies (sanskaras) stemming from previous births, circumstance, environment, education, training and association---all these go to make an individual.


16. শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ তো মুক্তির চাবিকাঠি দিয়েই গেছেন | মা স্বয়ং মুক্তিদাত্রী | স্বামীজীর বাণী মুক্তির অসি, মায়াপাশ ছেদন করে |


17. মাকে যে ভালবাসল, সে তো ধন্য হল |


18. মানুষ সংসারযন্ত্রণায় জর্জরিত, তাও সংসারসুখই চাইছে | এর নাম মায়া, স্বরূপ সম্বন্ধে অজ্ঞানতা |


19. সহজকে সহজে পাওয়া যায় না, সহজ হতে হয় | আর সহজ হওয়া সহজ নয় | শেষে যখন সহজ হল, তখন বঙ্কিম বিশ্ব বাঁকেবিহারীতে রূপান্তরিত হল |


20. 

চলো সবে ভাই,

বলরাম মন্দির যাই |


21. 

He saw the soul of Bhāratvarsha during his wanderjahre across the bare face of the motherland. His footsteps sanctified her even as she made holy his entire being that soon became her condensed form. The wandering monk traversed the gamut of the Sanātan experience of several millenia before lionlike he emerged from the forest of his erstwhile habitat into the broadway of the world, disseminating the message of the Rishis brewed in mountain caves and on riverbanks for untold ages before it gained fulfilment amongst masses of modern men and women.


22. মায়া কাটানো বড় শক্ত | সর্বত্র মায়া | তাই ঠাকুরের শেখানো প্রার্থনা, "মা, তোমার শ্রীপাদপদ্মে যেন শুদ্ধাভক্তি হয় আর তোমার ভুবনমোহিনী মায়ায় যেন মুদ্ধ না হই |"


23. ভদ্রলোকের সংখ্যা ক্রমেই কমছে |


24. Hindus must not have vague ideas about Hindutva or Hinduism. Scholarship is necessary and that of Islamic texts as well.


25. নিরন্তর কথামৃতপাঠে নিঃসন্দেহে আধ্যাত্মিক মুক্তি |


26. 

Saffron shows the way,

The way to light and freedom.

Let the colour of the radiant sun

Adorn us for good.


27. Hindus have not a single country of their own. All other observers of major religions have theirs. Only Hindus have none. 🕉 Hindu!


28. আধ্যাত্মিকতা হল অন্তর্মুখীনতা |


29. স্বামীজীই আদর্শ | আর কেনই বা হবেন না ? এমন পুরুষসিংহ তো আর দ্বিতীয় দেখি না | তবে না তাঁকে আধ্যাত্মিক সপ্তর্ষি মণ্ডল থেকে মর্তে নিয়ে এসেছিলেন স্বয়ং ভগবান, তারপর নিজহাতে গড়ে তুললেন জীবশিক্ষার জন্য | তার জন্য তাঁকে দিলেন চাপরাশ, যে শক্তিতে জগৎ টলে যায়, দিগ্ভ্রষ্ট মনুষ্যকুল দিব্যদিশা খুঁজে পায় ও সেই পথে চলতে শুরু করে | স্বামীজী মানব ইতিহাসে অনন্য, বহুভাবের, বহুবিদ্যার সমষ্টি ও সমন্বয় | তিনি বিজ্ঞান ও ধর্ম, প্রাচ্য ও পাশ্চাত্ত্য, অতীত, বর্তমান ও ভবিষ্যৎ, সনাতন সর্ব শাস্ত্র, জ্ঞান, ভক্তি, যোগ ও কর্ম---এই চতুর্যোগ, যুক্তি ও অনুভূতি, এই সমস্ত আপাতবিরোধী মতের সমাহার, সমন্বয়স্থল ও সমাধান | সত্যিই তাঁর তুলনা নেই |


30. অসমভাবই হিংসা |


31. এত অদ্বৈত বেদান্ত না করে যদি বিশ্বময় ঠাকুরের জীবনী ও কথামৃত ছড়াতো রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন তো কাজ হত ঢের বেশি | বিশ্বজুড়ে মানুষ তৃষ্ণার্ত, বিষয়রোগে জর্জরিত | ঠাকুরের অমৃতময় বাণী ও চারিত্রমাধুর্য মলমের কাজ করত | ঠাকুর মহৌষধি |


32. সকলকে শুভ কালী পূজা ! আগুন থেকে সাবধান ! সকলের জীবন আলোকিত হোক ! সকলে সুরক্ষিত থাকুন | শিশুদের,  বাচ্চাদের সামলে |


33. That which is special, when it becomes general, becomes divine.


34. More people in the world do not believe in Islam than they believe in it. This must be understood and its implications.


35. The proof of a thing is only remotely approximate, never closely so. All things remain perceived, never proven. Truths are only beliefs, beliefs that aren't inviolable truths. Man is in error forever, his assertions on God and faith childish prattle. This world is a big playhouse where toddlers tumble over toys and tools. Big boys do not fight, adolescents do.


36. বাসনাই বন্ধন | বাসনা গেল তো মুক্ত হল |


37. 

Two stages of Islam:

● Makki Islam (relates to āyats of the Makkāh period)

● Madini Islam (relates to āyats of the Madināh period)


38. Hindus must stand firm in defence of their faith. Pursuit of commerce in the name of religion has become a disease with us.


39. "Face the brute," said Swamiji. This was a profound statement that has both local and universal connotation. And the brute must be faced on both counts and vanquished.


40. Read the Qur'an and know Islam.


41. Cows must not be killed.


42. Sanātan Dharma alone has the solutions for the world’s problems which is why it must be protected, preserved and propagated.


43. Greed is destroying us. That is why long back Sri Ramakrishna had said, "Money is mud, mud money." When society runs after money thus, it goes to ruin.


44. বিশ্রামই সবচেয়ে বড় নিরাময় |


45. Demography determines destiny in a democracy. Given the current demographic trend, the fate of Hindus hangs in the balance. 


46. The main danger is from demographic change. Strict population policy needed. What are the measures being adopted officially for it?


47. You cannot save a community that does not want to save itself. This pretentious liberalism in the name of Hinduism is sheer cowardice and is going to destroy us. We need to be strong Sanātanis. Shrī Krishna exhorted Arjun to rise in defence of the Dharma and he would be expecting us to do the same in altered circumstance along adjusted lines but to rise in valorous defence nonetheless. 🕉 Hindu!


48. Can't Hindus toughen themselves a bit and fight the foes who threaten them? Must passive piety forever cover sheer cowardice? It is a civilisational war that is being waged against us. It has historically destroyed us largely. What remains needs to be saved and for that spiritual strength, manliness as Swamiji put it, is necessary. Otherwise, civilisational eclipse will be our fate for sure.


49. Islam is not a dharma. It is a dīn.


50. Cowardice and hypocrisy go together. Shed these and be valorous soldiers of the Soul. Defend the Dharma.


51. You are divine. Why hypnotise yourself into being human?


52. The universe is not only in Krishna. It is also in you. Break free and witness it. The fetters bind. Unbind. That which they bind is not you. Let go of the phenomenal. Let the Real shine. Thou art That! 


53. When the mind is homebound, Swamiji's 'Jnāna Yoga' is a great solace.


54. This numeral count is all Māyā. The Indivisible cannot be partitioned, analysed or counted. It is the Whole that transcends numbers.


55. The Self broods on the Self. Why brood thou over matter when in essence you are the Self?


56. The realised soul rectifies none, error being in his vision the panoramic play of phenomena. His silent Self refines reason and raises man unto rarefied heights where the recipient's field is ready. For the rest it is a silent benediction, a showering of grace that will bear fruit in time. 


57. Failing to understand the workings of vast Nature man invented God who apparently knew it all and operated it. Thereafter he forgot that he was the father of his God and cowered in fear before Him, imagining eternal reward in a heightened pleasurable planet called heaven and eternal punishment in a heightened painful planet called hell, both being extensions of his earthly experience multiplied manifold. The fire of desire and the fire of ignorance still burn in his soul as fanatical followers of this Divine Dictator kill infidels and kill each other to pass the test of life. Strange amnesia! Strange hypnosis! And endless violence! 🕉 Shanti! Shanti! Shanti! 🕉


58. A faith that says, "I alone am true and all others are false" is flawed in its fundamentals.


59. Sri Ramakrishna is simply nonpareil in the spiritual history of the world. No other sage or prophet or divine incarnation in history comes remotely close to him in depth of spiritual experience and in width of spiritual experience. Ramakrishna is matchless in his spiritual attainments, intensity and extensity of experience in a rare combination par excellence. 🕉


60. Coloured photographic embellishments of Ramakrishna conduce to Māyā, not to his utterly renounced self. The black and white original shorn of such optical trappings is best. 


61. I know what you want. Do you know what I want?


62. For 1300 plus years we Hindus have faced terrible Islamic oppression leafing to between 80 and 100 million deaths, our population in Ferishta's estimate declining from an erstwhile 600 million in 1200 CE to 200 million in 1600 CE, that is, in four centuries. Then came the Europeans 500 years ago to chain us and drain our wealth. Hindus have ceaselessly suffered culminating in the genocidal Muslim League driven Partition and yet Hindus are fed this myth that we are a nation of peace and goodwill among communities. 


63. 

























CONVERTS TO HINDUISM ARE FAR MORE COMMITTED TO THE DHARMA THAN HINDUS BORN INTO THE FOLD




CONVERTS TO HINDUISM ARE FAR MORE COMMITTED TO THE DHARMA THAN HINDUS BORN INTO THE FOLD


A convert to Hinduism is much more aware of the civilisational dangers that Hindus face than Hindus born into the fold. And they are far more committed to saving the Hindus from potential and real threats. This is because they are Hindus not by birth but by conviction, by choice. They have themselves gone through the exclusiveness, the narrowness, the intolerance and the persecution of their former faiths which prompted them to change faith. And where better to seek refuge than in the arms of the Mother Faith, the Sanātan Dharma which in the glowing description of Swami Vivekananda in his inaugural speech at the Chicago Parliament of Religions is 'the mother of all religions'?


Hindus will be better off converting others to their fold and, so, expanding their domain instead of covering up indolence in this regard by preaching to their own hearts universality with respect to proselytising faiths like Islam and Christianity and allowing fellow Hindus to ceaselessly get converted to these Abrahamic faiths. It is high time to safeguard Hindu interests and to give up secular or liberal pretence. And most importantly Hindus must practise Hinduism. Chanting, meditating, reading the scriptures and associating with the holy ones---these are a must. 🕉 Hindu!

SAY 'NO' TO GREAT MEN'S FALSE ASSERTIONS IF EVEN PROPHETIC

SAY 'NO' TO GREAT MEN'S FALSE ASSERTIONS IF EVEN PROPHETIC 


The greatest of men make convenient compromises which, to my mind, bespeaks of their double standard and cowardice. Thereby they lose credibility with future generations and are impotent as well in preventing civilisational catastrophes which apparently they had descended on earth to prevent. Truth-telling is important which is why unbiased scholarship is necessary in judging historical personalities and events rather than depending on off-hand observations of these greatest of men who are guided as much by inspiration as by impulse in passing judgement on events and personalities past. Be scientific. Research well from all angles and arrive at your own near to truth inference. Do not depend on prophetic utterances or inspirational observations. Truth is not meee inspiration. It is factual as well. And more so, so.
