What a brilliant high-powered speech culling out the essential links of Swamiji's life to the freedom movement in a diction that would have done the revolutionaries of yore proud! You are at times a man possessed of a higher eloquence which augurs well for our motherland if others of a like persuasion will join hands with you to set up these iconic figures as the real leaders of our people instead of offering mere dated obeisance in period. The sheer force which marked your words, articulate and authoritative, is clear indication that you are battling on the side of dharma and the greats shower you with benediction in representation of their cause.
Chandra Babu, you are a marvel and I wish you to remain on the path of righteousness and truth that your powers may flower and not suffer the decay inevitable in declining public life that so characterises our polity today. As you gain in concentration on the chosen ideal, as your reflections add momentum to your mission, your words will gain in courage of conviction as character shines through them.
May Swamiji bless you to see the right direction, the electable path of 'shreya' and may Netaji protect you that you may eschew the delectable path of 'preya' that is the bane of all that begins benign but ends in the futility of a festering failure!
Rare indeed is a voice so vibrant as yours and it is redolent of the clarion call sounded by our patriot perennial for freedom, freedom that is our birthright, freedom which is the song of the soul.
May you live long and happy and blessed in the service of the motherland and to larger humanity as well as each day you awake to the call of the Atman within whose echo you hear in your great ancestor's exhortation from beneath the seas rumbling, from across the passes that led him into perilous escape and from the war-fronts of a world resolving epochal issues in a deluge of blood!
That blood has been spilled and the martyrs mutilated not so much by enemy's ire but by brotherly betrayal of a barbaric kind. It is here that a re-reckoning of the historical narrative handed down to us thus far that needs to be undertaken if we are to stand upright as a nation proud of our true lineage and attainments instead of remaining ever apologetic as the persisting bondman of the British. Your role here is cut out, Chandra Babu, as the leader who will divest himself of all self-interest, all political ambition and advance in the cause of the nation at large. Only then will you live up to our high hopes and to your great lineage as the leonine grandson of the redoubtable Sarat Chandra Bose and the grand-nephew of the godlike Subhas Chandra Bose. All glory unto freedom! Jai Hind!
