ARISE! AWAKE! ... 1

For some time past Christianity is being preached using Hindu symbols and by plagiarising Hindu philosophy in the name of Christ to facilitate conversion of Hindus to the Christian fold. But Hindus are not to be duped so easily. So, economic incentives and academic facilities are also provided to ease induction. Here we have work at hand. Our brethren need sympathy, support and awareness of their Dharma to foster solidarity. The poor and the middle classes must not be exploited economically by the rich. Godmen and famous Gurus must not dupe and fleece the commoner. The Vedānta Dharma must be preached in truth, not for serving political agendas but for raising the consciousness of the masses. Hindu girls must be supported and families offered financial support so that they may raise multiple children well. Highly educated and talented  people must have more children so that the genes proliferate and upgrade the population qualitatively. Swami Vivekānanda must be preached across the body politic of the nation, not in a soft, selective manner that conceals more than it reveals his essential message but in a vigorous vein that is characteristic of him and his thought. Let the worship of Vivekānanda be popularised and see what a wonderful change comes. No soft sentimentality, no soft music and dance that is typically effeminate but real manhood that thunders and awakens the sleeping populace. Arise, Hindu, awake! Now no hour of rest. The sun shines on the eastern horizon. Come ye out and receive its first radiance.
