STATEMENT OFF THE SOUL ... 5


1. Where is our national self-respect in our belonging to the British Commonwealth despite the loot and the savagery the British perpetrated on Indian soil for two centuries and more?

2. How could the leaders succumb t the pleasures of the hour, to the perfidies of the times to partition the motherland and, so, destroy the millenia-old heritage of a united Bharatvarsha?

3. The British met an adversary in Ramakrishna who upset all their plans of a sustained colonisation of India. The seer of Dakshineshwar worked up a revolution through his fiery disciple, Vivekananda, who in turn set fire to the souls of the revolutionaries climaxing in Subhas Chandra Bose to evict the British from the holy land.

4. Macaulay tried to subvert the culture of India through his carefully crafted 'Minutes on Education' in 1836. But the very same year Ramakrishna was born to counter this challenge to the age-old spiritual culture of India. In fulfilment of the prophesy of the Bhagavad Geeta, the Avatar once more appeared in Bharatvarsha to save the virtuous, destroy the vicious and to establish righteousness here on earth.

5. This world is going to pieces in the absence of heart. Intellect counts for little. It is the heart that is the seat of all power and it is here that the deficiency of civilisation today lies.

6. Bengal has betrayed Netaji ; India has been ungrateful to all account. Does a nation of cowards deserve the hero?

7. The poor are the living gods ; upon their shoulders is built civilisation.

8. The old have become dispensable commodity. Who cares for them who held us in their wombs, in their arms?

9. The path of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda is the path of Netaji. It is but a political variant of their fundamental idea of freedom.

10. The revolutionaries were not misguided patriots but were supremely renounced souls who sacrificed their everything at the altar of the freedom of their motherland.
