MYTHOLOGY MUST NOT REPLACE SCIENCE

MYTHOLOGY MUST NOT REPLACE SCIENCE

Mythology must not replace science. There is no proof that there is a God who has created the universe, governs it and eventually destroys it. These things happen as per natural law and not as per the will of any God. Spiritual consciousness is quite apart from such puerile conceptions of the Divine which in its absolute transcendental state is the non-dual Brahman/Atman. That entity you may call God or whatever you like. The Vedas call It 'Tat', pronounced 'Tut'. But to imprint on the minds of the masses mythological tales of creation conducted by God or gods, as preachers regularly do, breeds superstition in them and retards their intellectual growth which is unwholesome and unwelcome at that if India wishes to be a developed state by 2047. A superstitious polity cannot survive the challenges of a fast modernising world nor may be deemed developed. The workings of Nature, as understood by the sensory human mind, must be taught the scientific way and not in manner mythological. Beyond that philosophical speculations are welcome but not puerile storytelling by way of teaching science.

BRILLIANCE, SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, PRIDE IN BEING HINDU, PURITY OF PURPOSE SHORN OF A TRACE OF COMMERCIAL CORRUPTION, EFFEMINACY OR THE HUNGER FOR FAME, THE NEED OF THE HOUR

BRILLIANCE, SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, PRIDE IN BEING HINDU, PURITY OF PURPOSE SHORN OF A TRACE OF COMMERCIAL CORRUPTION, EFFEMINACY OR THE HUNGER FOR FAME, THE NEED OF THE HOUR

We need some brilliant students who will take up the study of Swami Vivekananda and Sanskrit scriptures in the original reverentially, develop oratorical skills, spiritual power through the practice of absolute purity, irresistible will-force, one-pointed missionary focus, courage of conviction and an uncompromising spiritual attitude that does not make common cause in the slightest sense with money or fame so that they can preach the glory of the Sanātan Dharma with authority and unapologetic boldness. Then shall the message of the Vedas thunder through the world bringing about a human renaissance. Such a renaissance, such a revival, such a recovery of the Sanātan spirit alone can save the Hindus as a race, as a civilisation. Such a virile conquest of the world alone can save it from destruction, save human civilisation from its impending perils, save humanity from extinction. My brilliant boys and girls, arise!

READ, BE BETTER INFORMED BEFORE YOU VENTURE TO NURSE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HINDUTVA WHICH HAS COME TO SAVE YOU FROM EXTINCTION AS A RACE

READ, BE BETTER INFORMED BEFORE YOU VENTURE TO NURSE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HINDUTVA WHICH HAS COME TO SAVE YOU FROM EXTINCTION AS A RACE

Hindus must acquaint themselves with Sri Aurobindo's stance on the Hindu-Muslim question. His predictions have played out unerringly in India's unfolding history since then. Read and be better informed before ignorantly attacking Hindutva. For good measure read J. Sai Deepak's two books on the Hindu-Muslim question. As for fringe communists, given your indoctrinated anti-dhārmic materialistic stance, reading these may perchance clarify conception and bring you back to the Sanātan fold as you shed what has been thrust upon you by your crafty thought-leaders. But for hard-core communists with depth-invasion of communist thought, even reading these may not help as the shut mind may not allow entry of new thought that will dispel delusion and displace what you hold to heart as 'dogma dear'. But for Hindus, ill-informed and easily influenced by leftist propaganda shaming Hindutva, it is a must, for it will be an eye-opener. Conviction sealed and secure, you will be ready to fight this civilisational war that has been thrust upon you by the invasive, proselytising Abrahamic faiths intent on destroying the Dharma, and the Marxist faithlessness tending to the same. 🕉 Hindu!

WE, HINDUS, NEED MISSIONARY ZEAL ... 1

WE, HINDUS, NEED MISSIONARY ZEAL ... 1

Hinduism must become aggressively missionary. Otherwise Hindus will decrease percentage-wise. No wonder Swamiji wanted this but was denied fulfilment by altered activity of his followers, of course by following other welfare lines laid down by him, for his was a universal being and he understood the limitations of lesser endowed men as also the compulsions of organisational existence in complex political scenario. But the fiery spirit that characterised Swamiji and was his life's work to try and infuse in his countrymen, more so in his followers, has been sadly diminishing over the decades till it has now been reduced to cipher, nay, even plummeting to the negative sometimes as compromise and commerce which characterise our capitalist society these days infilitrate the rank and file of his followers. 

Hindus keep getting victimised physically and through conversion to Christianity and Islam while Vivekananda's titular followers keep mutely watching. There is no organised effort to scale up missionary activity to propagate Hinduism across the world but there is every attempt to promote pseudoharmony of faiths which are simply irreconcilable on foundational grounds. The inability to call a spade a spade has mummified the mission of the Master. Therefore, we as individuals and as groups need to activate our own mental, intellectual and spiritual resources to discover in Vivekananda the message of self-mastery and missionary activity to serve our civilisation better. No need to wait on those who have compromised. Let us awake to our own responsibilities and fight on. So, onward!

Provided below is an extract from Swamiji in this regard:

(Prabuddha Bharata, September, 1898)

In an interview which a representative of Prabuddha Bharata had recently with the Swami Vivekananda, that great Teacher was asked: "What do you consider the distinguishing feature of your movement, Swamiji?"

"Aggression," said the Swami promptly, "aggression in a religious sense only. Other sects and parties have carried spirituality all over India, but since the days of Buddha we have been the first to break bounds and try to flood the world with missionary zeal."

LIP-SERVICE THAT TOUCHES NOT THE HEART NOR INSPIRES THE SINCERE ONES WHO REVERE OUR GREAT ONES---MUCH SOUND AND LITTLE LIGHT AS OF NOW, HOPEFULLY NOT TILL KINGDOM COME

LIP-SERVICE THAT TOUCHES NOT THE HEART NOR INSPIRES THE SINCERE ONES WHO REVERE OUR GREAT ONES---MUCH SOUND AND LITTLE LIGHT AS OF NOW, HOPEFULLY NOT TILL KINGDOM COME

Ministers these days pay lip-service to our great men and women on their birth and death anniversaries which is fair enough save for the fact that it is lip-service after all and not deeply felt reverence that seeks utterance thus. Levity continues in the Bengali political and cultural scene as Bengal turns on a new apparel to stage the show this time. It seems Swamiji was right when he had warned his fellow men to shift stance from sensate living to Sanskritised soulful living that exhibited manhood which the then dominant effeminacy of the race---now increased manifold and rendered toxic in proportion by Marxist materialistic infiltration of thought---had largely extinguished and tended to make Bengal, the place of left-handed degenerate Tantric worship, a land doomed to civilisational annihilation over the next three generations. Swamiji was largely proven right as post-Independence Bengal saw an Indic cultural collapse, the deliberate political replacement of its Sanātan heritage with Marxist everything that degenerated and destroyed Bengal's hopes. After 34 years of Marxist misrule and 15 more years of Trinamool mayhem and loot, the BJP has set itself to settling things in unsettled Bengal. But the way things are going with Ministers, led by the chief in office, off-limits in decibel doing and pouring puerile posts to please the polity, paying homage to past greats through standardised one-lined obituary on their birth and death days, and talking too much, so to say, on prospective projects, that too as if it is a shouting match, it seems unlikely that Bengal is as much on the rise as projected, nay, artlessly advertised by whosoever chances upon the media microphone. Bengal is indeed going through a cultural transition from atheistic-materialistic-leftist ideology which has paralysed her being and made her the opponents of nationalism to highly theistic-spiritualistic-rightist ideology that embraces nationalism and shuns not industry but welcomes them on paper. How much of it translates to reality, though, are the long reels to be seen after the bombastic trailers are over.

POESY: LIGHTNING FLASHES

LIGHTNING FLASHES

Lightning flashes

Light up the sky

But for a moment.

Then off they fly.

Life's like that.

Today here,

Tomorrow no more.

Don't ask me why.

The earth dries up,

Cracks and breaks

As rain quits post

To seek mate nigh.

So, parched soul

Doth thirst and dry,

Wither the leaves

Send a piteous cry.

The good God watches 

From throne held high 

By turn of Time

It will be I.

Then no more lapse

Into sorrow and sigh.

Fresh forever

With what's me, what's my.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 144

MESSAGES GALORE ... 144

1. হালকা হাসুন, সুস্থ থাকবেন | কি হবে সব সময় অন্যের প্রশ্নের ভারে নিজের মনকে ন্যুব্জ করে ?

2. এদিকেও সমুদ্র, ওদিকেও সমুদ্র | অনন্ত থেকে অনন্তে যাত্রা | নাকি অচ্যূত স্থিতি ? গতি প্রহেলিকামাত্র ?

3. বিজ্ঞান এবং বেদান্ত---দুই সমভাবে চাই | কোনো বিরোধ নেই |

4. হতাশ হবেন না, সামনে অনন্ত আনন্দ |

5. হিন্দুর ভবিষ্যৎ কি ?

6. বিশেষণ বিশিষ্ট মানুষকে বিশেষিত করার সাথে সাথে তাঁর নির্বিশেষ সত্যস্বরূপকে আবৃত করে, এমনকি তাঁর আপেক্ষিক মানবসত্তার গুণগত যথার্থ চিত্রটিকেও ঢেকে ফেলে, বিশেষত তাঁকে অত্যুচ্চ সকল আখ্যা দিয়ে |

7. বিদ্যাসাগর প্রণম্য পুরুষ কিন্তু ব্রহ্মজ্ঞানী ঋষি নন |

8. সনাতন ধর্মই এ দেশের সার |

9. ঠাকুর এখন বিরাট বুলন্দ দরওয়াজ়া খুলে দিয়েছেন | সোজা হেঁটে বেরিয়ে যাও মুক্তির পথে মননের রথে চড়ে | কিন্তু কেউ বেরোতে চাইছে না যে | এদিকে যে ওলিম্পিক হচ্ছে, তাই না ? ক্রিড়ার কত সুখ ! তারপরই মৃত্যু | অমৃতের পথচারী, পরমহংসের পথে চলো | অনন্ত আনন্দধাম নিকটে | রথারুঢ় হও | স্বর্ণকিরণে চেপে সৌরকেন্দ্রে অবতীর্ণ হও | দগ্ধ হবে না, আলোকপ্রাপ্ত হবে | মুক্ত তুমি, মুক্ত হও |

10. The only way to spirituality is self-help. Dependence on others will inevitably fail you. Do not depend on charlatans masquerading as Gurus.

11. Youth must not be squandered in chasing wild geese. It is premium time for realisation of the Self whose output shall be along diverse channels of creative fulfilment, highest among which is stabilisation in the Self Itself.

12. সংস্কৃতির অধঃপতন রোধ করার দায়িত্ব আপনার, আমার, আমাদের সকলের, কারণ সংস্কৃতি আপনার, আমার, আমাদের সকলের সম্মিলিত কর্মের ফল |

13. My midnight vigil is for the motherland which is the Mother in geographical terms and in aggregate and specialised human form tending to the divine. The soldiers guard the nation's borders and so do I our civilisation's terrestrial borders, its divine dimensions remaining secure in the Infinite ever. The descent of the Divine is to raise human consciousness from its steeped quasi human, quasi animal levels to heightened spiritual levels and leave it there for the while for kārmic resolutions to work their way through the intricate pathways of Māyā unto settlement in higher realms where mass movement unto freedom may be facilitated.

14. 'সর্বং খল্বিদং ব্রহ্ম |' কাকে বলেন পৌত্তলিকতা ?

15. একজনও নেই কি আজ যিনি পুরুষসিংহের ন্যায় হিন্দুধর্মের ধ্বজা বহন করতে পারেন, যাঁর সিংহনিনাদে চৌদিক প্রকম্পিত হবে, হিন্দুর হৃদয়ে উৎসাহ, উদ্দীপনা জেগে উঠবে, ধমণীতে পৌরুষস্রোত প্রবাহিত হবে নিরন্তর সনাতন সভ্যতার সংরক্ষণকল্পে ?
