SEEKER OR CHARLATAN ?

SEEKER OR CHARLATAN ?

Hinduism cannot be saved by these fraudulent Gurus who build massive stone structures as supposed divinity carved in granite which they then proceed to get unveiled by the Prime Minister who, despite his busy schedule of 'working' 18 hours a day, nonetheless, finds time to waste a few hours in such exercises in sheer 'spiritual' futility.

These charlatans are ruining Hinduism and the Government is honouring them with top executive visits and top civilian honours.

The only way Hinduism can be preserved and made to flourish is by the simple worship of man conducted extensively and free of the trappings of superstition and ritual. The Vedanta, simple and practical, without elaborate philosophical foliage complicating matters, must be activated in India on a far more comprehensive scale to give the weakest sections of humanity strength, and dignity to every individual who, through ages of political and social tyranny, have simply forgotten their divine selves.

Building massive statues and calling them this or that God as per convenience is regressive and can only take our society and civilisation backwards despite tallest pretensions to the contrary, for, after all, these elaborate rituals and pompous 'spiritual' shows of man-made Gods are contrary to eternal India's spiritual affirmations of the real Self of Man which, and which alone, ought to be taken refuge in and which alone, through respectful service, ought to be awakened in these living divinities, the unnumbered masses of our great nation.
