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.

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.

THAT OLD FOLLY AGAIN---WILL HINDUS NEVER LEARN?
And when Muslims outnumber Hindus, should it, God forbid, happen, then? Will the compliment be returned to the minority Hindus by the majority Muslims? Does not Islamic theology forbid it? The only solution is the facilitation of Muslims for their reverting en masse to their ancestral religion which will create the due numerical balance in the country for long-term peace. Reconversion is the only solution as it was once achieved in Bhāratvarsha during the declining days of Buddhism when two-thirds of the population earlier converted from the Sanātan Dharma to the Bauddha Dharma were reconverted to the Mother Faith which is why there is hardly any trace of institutional Buddhism in India barring its massive invasive imprint in neo-Hinduism which is but Buddhism adapted and absorbed into the body politic of the Vedic Dharma. A like reconversion of all subcontinental Muslims, in so far as practicable in altered geopolitical conditions, must be initiated, promoted and persisted with for long before this seemingly intractable Hindu-Muslim problem is solved for good. Such glib talk as Mohan Bhagwat delivers in relation to this civilisational problem may suit his immediate political objectives despite protestations to the contrary, a la Hindu version of Al Taqqaiya, I dare say, but it does the Hindu mind much harm in perpetuating conceptual confusion about the Dharma and its imperatives in self-defence, something which Sitaram Goel and Ram Swarup spent their lives to dispel but failed owing to massive counter-narratives about Hindu catholicism in its simplistic derivations coming from all quarters, an endeavour to which even Mohan Bhagwat is eminently party to as is evidenced in his current and recent like statements. Alas, the duo of Goel and Swarup has been dealt a raw deal by their having been systematically neglected in public mention by the dominant BJP and the RSS leaders of the day, ostensibly for their divergent views on what Hindutva is and ought to be, what even the reverend Guru Golwalkarji has recorded in his seminal works. At the end of the day these compromises will not work in favour of the Hindus or of India and will only buy the Muslims time enough to upset for good the demographic balance here as they have over centuries done to where from cipher they built up their numbers to eventually render Hindus a minority in their own homeland, and a perennially persecuted minority at that. To that perilous destination such remarks of Bhagwat tend to usher the floundering flock in all their reinforced foolishness, thanks to their leaders. 🕉 Hindu!

CALL, KĀLI
●●●●●●●●●●●●
Call, Kāli.
Here awaits
In desperate mode
In utter expectancy,
Bonomāli.
O phoolwāli,
Nay, foolwāli,
Call now.
I beseech thee
In raw mother tongue,
Nor in Sanskrit,
Nor Greek,
But in Pāli, in Pāli, in Pāli,
Call, Kāli.
