1. No religion that opposes Hindu spiritual principles will ever succeed in India. Indians are too rooted in the Vedic culture in all its evolutionary diversity to be converted wholesale to contrarian beliefs that are founded in faith but not founded in reason or spiritual realisation.
Jai Shree Ram!
Jai Shree Krishna!
Jai Sri Ramakrishna!
2. Thank God the Hindu temples destroyed by Islamic invaders are now being rebuilt one by one. Somnath, now Ram Mandir.
3. Hindus must feel proud of their heritage, their Dharma, their culture and their civilisation. There is nothing to be apologetic and weak in regard to proclaiming our identity as an ancient race with the longest continuing civilisation despite terrible inroads into it historically. The Sanatan Dharma was, is and will forever remain. Proudly proclaim this till the earth reverberates to its thunderous tone. đ
16. The whole of life is an intensification of experience till the universe dissolves into nought.
17. Faith in oneself works wonders.
18. Wonderful news! New Delhi will be seeing the organised chanting of the Sundar Kaand every Tuesday.
19. India is being purified by the constant recollection of Maryaada Purushottam Shree Ram.
20. Western-educated half-baked intellectuals need not advise us, Hindus, as to what is right and what is wrong about our dharmic doings. Hands off! Our civilisational values we will learn from our Sanatan shastras and from our dharmacharyas and not from these cultural converts of the day whose only business is to undermine Hindu interests. That the Shree Ram Temple is coming up at the holy site and not a hospital or a school or a park or a Ram-Rahim temple as had been suggested by some wiseacres is a vindication of the age-old aphorism 'Satyameva jayate naanritaam' (Truth alone triumphs, not falsehood) and is an affirmation that Aryavarta is not dead but making its renascent rise yet again. India shall rise to conquer the world once more with the flood of spirituality, the mission that has been entrusted to her by the overseeing Divine who is the mover of this evolutionary force animating humanity through the dense cover of obstructing Maya.
21. India is nobody's private property, neither is God exclusively a particular individual's.
26. The Hindu renaissance began with the advent of Adi Shankaracharya and culminated in Ramakrishna-Vivekananda-Aurobindo via a galaxy of sages, saints, seers, savants, divine incarnations and defenders of the Dharma in the form of Ramanujacharya, Vallabhacharya, Nimbarkacharya, Madhvacharya, Guru Nanak, Ramananda, Kabir, Tulsidas, Chaitanya, Dadu, Surdas, Ramdas, Meera, Maharana Pratap, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh, Shivaji, Ramprasad, Dayananda Saraswati and a host of others. The renaissance is going on even now with accelerated motion as eternal India rises to her feet, her true spiritual stature, dispelling the darkness of ages of political servitude and religious repression. Jai Shree Ram!
27. Sri Ramakrishna had initiated Narendranath (later Swami Vivekananda) with RAM MANTRA shortly before his Mahasamadhi.
28. I am proud to call myself a Hindu and have ever felt so since the great call came from Swami Vivekananda to all Hindus to serve the Sanatan Dharma. Vivekananda has given us this feeling of pride in our civilisational heritage, himself having once said, "I am proud to be a Hindu." Swamiji's 'Svadesh Mantra' resounds with this message and every Hindu should read it over and over again till it tingles in his/her very veins and courses like the current of the Ganga through the arteries. Then shall we rise as a nation in all our pristine glory and more.
29. What DEV utters is VED, the VED in words being the laterally inverted image of DEV, that is, the DIVINE.
30. The heart fills with joy to see orthodox India manifest the character which westernised Indian pseudosophisticates evidently lack.
31. An action programme by way of mere reaction is not as worthy as an action programme undertaken to achieve progress.
32. Swami Vivekananda had exhorted his countrymen to worship Ma Kali and Hanumanji. He had invoked Shakti to animate India suffering in servitude.
33. Just under five days to go before the grand moment of the installation of Ram Lalla arrives. What a momentous occasion!
34. Ayodhya is wearing a look which makes us reflect as to what it must have been on that momentous first day when Prabhu Ram had appeared on this earth in his divine incarnation. The Indian renaissance is on.
36. Veer Hanumanji at the lotus feet of Mother Seeta, bringing tidings of Shree Ram and exhorting her to return on his shoulders across the vast ocean to her lord which purity-incarnate Mother Seeta cannot accede to. Shree Ram's devoted servant later sets Raavan's Lanka afire, his elongated mighty tail blazing and reducing sections of the golden city to cinders. Hanumanji is our national ideal, the iconic deity whose worship will fire us unto valorous service for our motherland which shall help resurrect her Sanatan civilisation in right earnest.
37. Those who are patently anti-Hindu are calling the 'Praan Pratishthha' of Ram Lalla on 22 January a political stunt, a ceremony of no consequence for the nation, a wastage of public funds et al. May Prabhu Shree Ram enlighten them as to its true civilisational significance!
38. A scattered mind can do nothing substantial but an eternally concentrated mind can work wonders. The whole of cosmic manifestation is the handiwork of divine concentration. Hence, for national progress to obtain, national concentration has to be built up.
39. A scattered mind can do nothing substantial but an eternally concentrated mind can work wonders. The whole of cosmic manifestation is the handiwork of Divine concentration. Hence, for national progress to obtain, national concentration has to be built up. The Ram Temple at Ayodhya will be such a seat of spiritual concentration where Ram Lalla Himself will enhance our spiritual progress and guide us through the dark domain of Maya unto the sunlit peaks of freedom and joy.
41. It is a civilisational recovery that we are witnessing in the rise of the Ram Mandir. 496 years have elapsed since the destruction of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir by Babur's forces. The Mughal ruler's iconoclasm has been finally totally defeated. Sanatan Bharatvarsha rises yet again to assert her spiritual civilisational values.
42. Political photoshoots are most unwelcome. They bespeak of self-involvement and not unselfish service to the nation.
43. Personality cult is not good for democracy. And yet it is the regional and national reality. Most unfortunate!
44. Westernisation indigenised is polluting our age-old national culture. Urban culture has been part-destroyed, mainly by the mass infiltration of cinematic and advertising influence. It is upto us to preserve our classical religious rural culture. Keep the village green and Bharatvarsha will be seen in her true light for ages to come.
45. Those who temper truth by calculated compromise are living in falsehood and cannot be deemed spiritual despite the tallest of ritualistic or scriptural pretensions. They are in essence quasi or pure political workers. Spirituality is founded on undiluted truth as Swami Vivekananda was established in. There's a lesson in his luminous life for pretenders to spirituality to learn from.
46. Singapore minister Iswaran's resignation at all levels on corruption charge should serve as a wake-up call for what should be the moral code for ministers here as well. After all we are supposedly the Vishwa Guru who should set up the global standard of public morality. But for the while let us follow the Singapore standard and raise our public moral code. That should do us a world of good. We may then talk of teaching the world morality, spirituality etc.
47. Never in my life have I witnessed such a nationwide excitement as today I see it happening centring the formal installation of Shree Ram Lalla on 22 January at the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya. Unbelievable national energy flowing. Blessed are they who are rejoicing on this momentous occasion. May Shree Ram Lalla bless all with health, happiness and spiritual light!
48. Politics is not rajneeti; principled politics is.
49. We are all caught in our memory. Our data-bank of thought altered, purified, raised, we shall be free.
50. Politicians are opportunists. They have no morals. They are the worst exploiters of humanity and the biggest beneficiaries of democracy. Trust them not. Read. Study. Learn. Love the motherland and save her from this dreaded depredation.
51. Pity the ones who are unhappy with the rise of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. Myself with a multitude of Sanatanis feel privileged to be alive this day to witness this grand occasion. Jai Shree Ram!
52. The Ram Mandir at Ayodhya in especial is of greatest significance because it is coming up at the holy site of Shree Ram's birth. The place thus has its unique historical importance.
61. Some hurricane musicians by creating musical chaos are soiling the sanctity of the ceremony.
62. A moment of seminal significance. A historic moment of unimaginable consequence to world civilisation. Jai Ram Lalla!
63. What a sublime speech by Shree Narendra Modiji! Inspired oration spontaneously flowing from the inner recesses of the Spirit. Jai Shree Ram Lalla!
64. All Hindus must every year celebrate 22 January as NAVADEEPAVALI.
65.
'Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare,
Bhaja mana nisidini pyare.'
--Ram bhajan sung by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar before consciously casting off his mortal coil while in the singing mode.
66. Despite so much antagonism by opponents of the Pran Pratishthha, the holy ceremony was a resounding success. Ram Lalla's grace has been showered on the entire proceedings as India's civilisational resurgence begins afresh from Ayodhya with renewed vigour. A spiritual flood has arisen on the banks of the Sarayu and at no distant date will inundate the world with its celestial current.
67. In this highly charged atmosphere of our civilisational resurgence let us as of yore strive for excellence in the arts and not settle for second-rate performances everywhere. Musicians must not perform in public if they are not capable of holding their 'sur' or modulations to perfection. Dishing out anything by way of semiclassical or popular music is not by any stretch of imagination service to the audience.
68. I have been dubbed a campaigner of the Sanatan Dharma by my caustic critics and I feel honoured by it. Jai Shree Ram!
69. Hindus must forget sectarian and caste differences and unite. In unity is strength and that will build the nation. Say like Swamiji, "I am proud to be Hindu." We are all one.
70. The family deity of Sri Ramakrishna was Raghuveer. And Sri Ramakrishna himself was Shree Ramchandra in his latest earthly incarnation. So, the Ram Temple at Ayodhya is also the temple of Sri Ramakrishna as the apparently two divine personalities are essentially one and the same divine being, the Poorna Brahma Sanatana.
74. Simplicity is the hallmark of greatness, simplicity of attire, attitude, aspiration.
75. In pre-independence days politics was principled. Now it is generally for personal gain and shamelessly so.
76. Politics today is conviction as per convenience.
77. We have to raise the bar of national spiritual culture by including Sanskrit education as essential part of it.
78. India is 5th in GDP in the world and 1st in population. Tough combination. We advertise the former. The latter advertises itself.
79. Leaders like flatterers who boost their ego. But the critic who deflates it is often their best friend.
80. I think a leader must follow the time-tested principle of 'simple living and high thinking'.
81. Pretence of simplicity is not simplicity. It shows itself in attitude, aspiration, words and actions.
82. Happy Republic Day! This is the day (26.01.1950) India annulled her dominion status and became a sovereign democratic republic.
83. If lying is a part of religion, it is not a religion but a political movement wearing the facade of religion. Truthfulness is incumbent upon genuine religion whose foundational principle is peaceful uplifting of people and not violent suppression, transformation of character from the demonic to the divine and not subversion of character and culture by clever or coercive conversion of faith.
84. Two words which are frequently mispronounced by TV news readers: SOVEREIGNTY as SOVREIGNITY and PUBLICLY as PUBLICALLY.
85. Today is Republic Day. In a republic is it right to promote personality cult of political leaders so much?
86. Dynastic politics is bad for a republic. But promotion of personality cult is equally bad. Principle and not personality please.
87. On this Republic Day let us pledge to renounce the worship of unprincipled politicians. Only the selfless ones deserve our veneration.
88. Shree Ram did not promote himself. That was his greatness. Self-effacement was his hallmark.
89. When will the INA War Memorial be built on the Kartavya Path? Are 26,000 martyrs to the motherland's freedom to sink into oblivion? Do their sacrifices matter so little as to merit such a prolonged neglect which shall end heaven knows when?
90. India on the rise like never before since independence.
91. Streeshakti at its best today at the Republic Day Parade.
92. From the Republic Day Parade it does not seem that we need our Bharat to be knitted together as it already seems whole enough.
93. What a humbling experience the Republic Day spectacle is! What richness of culture! What a fabulous diversity of such excellence! If this does not move our politicians to mend themselves and serve the nation better, they are pitiable indeed! India, holy India, is the repository of an unbelievable range of cultural tradition.
94. What a grand feminine participation in the Republic Day Parade! Netaji had done it decades ago. How proud he would have been today! Literally a huge feminine presence at the Republic Day spectacle today that has enlivened proceedings like never before.
95. It is best not to get dated. Charaiveti! Charaiveti!
