TRUTH, ALAS, HAS TAKEN TO WINGS !

TRUTH, ALAS, HAS TAKEN TO WINGS !

Leading Hindu 🕉 organisations must no longer mislead Hindus through false narratives about the essential harmony of all major religions including the proselytising Semitic religions. This has dealt Hindus 🕉 thus far the death-blow from which, dismembered and disfigured, the motherland is slowly rising to her feet again.

Falsification of history has been one crime and falsification of the intent of Islam and Christianity another.

Hindu monks, do not mislead people. Speak the truth and do not cover a corpse beneath roses for, as your leader Swami Vivekananda has so aptly put it, the corpse rots and the roses rot too. So, as monastics, stop resorting to speaking half-truths or deliberately or inadvertently deflecting attention from contentious issues by laying undue emphasis on certain events in the lives of the Holy Trinity of Ramakrishna-Sarada-Vivekananda which in real, historical terms have been rendered trivial happenings of not much consequence towards attainment of inter-faith harmony but have certainly weakened Hindu awakening and resolute response in self-defence.

Sri Ramakrishna has exhorted us to speak the truth and Swamiji has said that even false humility is as bad as lying. Hence, to quote Ramakrishna-Vivekananda partially, to wholesale edit 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda' in a manner as to emasculate some of his most potent speeches as on Muhammad is not quite in conformity with either monasticism or maintenance of truth.

Then there are these Inter-faith Meets which are a sham and an exercise in shame, no less futility at that, because of the terrible practised-to-perfection hypocrisy that is on display there. Why invite Muslim ☪️ maulavis and Christian ✝️ clerics and induce them to lie in the name of their religions that Islam and Christianity are the most universally tolerant faiths after all when in truth they are toxically intolerant and perniciously proselytising? Why pretend and preach as Hindu 🕉 monks that all religions in essence preach universal love and brotherhood and give the call to leading the higher spiritual life when you know full well that it is not so after all? And if you do not know that it is not so, out of monumental ignorance about the core concepts and concerns of these corrosive faiths, what on earth prompts you to hold such fruitless harmony meets when you have not the courage of conviction to call a spade a spade and seek solutions deep by laying bare the problems fully? Why hold Inter-faith Meets with insincere men who are professed enemies of the Hindus 🕉 by doctrinaire disposition?

Enough have I written, so, I pause here for the while to let you ponder the probable and the possible in this ongoing decimation of Hindus everywhere. May good sense prevail and truth be adhered to as become monks of leading Hindu 🕉 organisations!
