WE OUGHT NOT TO HAVE ALLOWED GANDHI SUCH A SWAY OVER US

Gandhi weakened us, Hindus, by preaching non-violence against the perpetrators of evil, a lesson completely in contradiction to what Swamiji had taught the revolutionaries who happened to meet him and seek his blessings. One can illustrate it by citing the instances of two such revolutionaries, namely, Bagha Jatin and Hemchandra Ghosh. Read their encounters with the Cyclonic Monk, as Hemchandra dubbed Swamiji, and you will get to know it. 

Gandhi moved the masses, true, with non-violence and transformed an urban pleaders' movement (the Congress) into a widespread national movement but in the process he debilitated India terribly whose price then was Partition and since then has been the slow destruction of dismembered India at the hands of global jihad. China and Pakistan have grabbed land and threaten our borders constantly, and within India we have developed and are developing provinces and pockets which are less Indian in mentality than they are of an alien one, a state of constant internal threat.

Gandhi we listened to and his peculiar version of the Bhagavad Geeta which apparently preaches non-violence in every page, and we disregarded the very author of the Geeta in the bargain who exhorts us in verse after verse to take up arms against the enemy and its evils. Strange followers of Russian Orthodox Christianity ☦ we are, for Gandhi, according to Sri Aurobindo, was more aligned to its doctrine of passive resistance than to the active armed resistance upheld by the Sanatan Dharma, and our rejection of 'svadharma' in following Gandhi paid us back in quite the manner Shree Krishna had warned us it would when he said, "स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेय: परधर्मो भयावह:," that is, "It is better by far to die following one's own dharma/vocation/allotted duty/traditional task/socially ordained work/religion, but it is terrible to relinquish it and follow another's."

Gandhi and Gandhism have been our great national undoing despite all the movements of the Mahatma of mass mobilisation without clear aim, objective, vision, direction or purpose save their vague conspiring complements. Would it were that our other leaders had not reposed such implicit faith in a leader as rudderless as Gandhi!
