WHITHER SINCERITY TO SOURCE?

WHITHER SINCERITY TO SOURCE?

Where is the Vivekananda preacher of power who can speak with a virile voice and not squeak apologetic words on behalf of the Dharma? Followers of Vivekananda, introspect. Greater manliness is expected of you, greater dynamism, and unashamed, unapologetic, forthright spelling out of truth. Swamiji must be ashamed of those of his followers who have turned into cowards, indifferent witnesses of atrocity on Hindus and pretentious harmonisers of a fractured humanity without bothering to address the key issues that cause such fracture. Being apolitical does not mean pandering to the corridors of power and appeasing elements that threaten the Hindu polity. Being apolitical means standing up for truth on behalf of dharma and against adharma with a bold and fearless stance, and without any intent of seeking or securing governmental patronage for welfare activity that compromises one's essential principles. If the people support you, you need not bother about governmental help that needs must cause such compromise. Else, it were better to shut shop and meditate to get divine power to deliver such welfare work. If the people leave you, where will you get help or strength to carry on with your work? So, it is time that Hindu interests are also catered to and not forsaken to pursue the wild geese of universal harmony with elements essentially antithetical to such peace and harmony. Pretentious piety we have had enough. Now let us see some sincere manliness in you.
