স্থূল যখন সূক্ষ্মেরে করে বেদম প্রহার

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

কী অবস্থা দেশের ! কেউ ভাব বোঝে না | খালি বস্তুবাদ আর বাণিজ্য, লাভ আর ক্ষতি, সম্ভোগ আর দুর্ভোগ ! অনেক বছর আগে আমার এক মাস্টারমশাই বলেছিলেন যে তিনি যে বিদ্যালয়ের শিক্ষক, সেখানে পাঠ্যক্রম হতে কবিতা তুলে দেওয়া হয়েছে | তার পরিবর্তে গদ্য আনা হয়েছে | এর কারণ বিদ্যালয়ে ভর্তি নেওয়া হচ্ছে প্রভূত অর্থ উৎকোচ নিয়ে | সে সব অযোগ্য ধনী ছাত্র কাব্যবোধশূণ্য | তাদের কবিতা পড়ানো এক দুঃসাধ্য কাজ | তাই | 

আজ ঘরে ঘরে এই একই দুরবস্থা | সিরিয়াল বোঝে, টাকা কড়ি খুব ভাল বোঝে কিন্তু সূক্ষ্ম কোনো কিছুই বোঝে না, বোঝার আগ্রহ নেই, অনীহা অথবা অরুচি | এক প্রজন্মের মধ্যে সংস্কৃতির যে অধঃপতন লক্ষ্য করলাম তা দুঃসহ | কার জন্য লেখা ? কেবা পড়ে ? কেবা বোঝে ? কাকে সম্বোধন করে রসপরিবেশনা ? রসবোধ কই ? ঈশ্বর রসস্বরূপ কিন্তু তাঁর ভক্তেরা প্রায়ই রসবোধবিবর্জিত, অর্থলোলুপ, স্থূলপ্রকৃতি | ঘরে ঘরে সংস্কৃতির খরা | সবই মোটা দানায় চলছে, মসলিন শিল্পীর বুড়ো আঙুল কেটে দেওয়া হয়েছে | হা ভগবান !

MYTHOLOGY MUST NOT REPLACE SCIENCE

MYTHOLOGY MUST NOT REPLACE SCIENCE

Mythology must not replace science. There is no proof that there is a God who has created the universe, governs it and eventually destroys it. These things happen as per natural law and not as per the will of any God. Spiritual consciousness is quite apart from such puerile conceptions of the Divine which in its absolute transcendental state is the non-dual Brahman/Atman. That entity you may call God or whatever you like. The Vedas call It 'Tat', pronounced 'Tut'. But to imprint on the minds of the masses mythological tales of creation conducted by God or gods, as preachers regularly do, breeds superstition in them and retards their intellectual growth which is unwholesome and unwelcome at that if India wishes to be a developed state by 2047. A superstitious polity cannot survive the challenges of a fast modernising world nor may be deemed developed. The workings of Nature, as understood by the sensory human mind, must be taught the scientific way and not in manner mythological. Beyond that philosophical speculations are welcome but not puerile storytelling by way of teaching science.

BRILLIANCE, SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, PRIDE IN BEING HINDU, PURITY OF PURPOSE SHORN OF A TRACE OF COMMERCIAL CORRUPTION, EFFEMINACY OR THE HUNGER FOR FAME, THE NEED OF THE HOUR

BRILLIANCE, SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, PRIDE IN BEING HINDU, PURITY OF PURPOSE SHORN OF A TRACE OF COMMERCIAL CORRUPTION, EFFEMINACY OR THE HUNGER FOR FAME, THE NEED OF THE HOUR

We need some brilliant students who will take up the study of Swami Vivekananda and Sanskrit scriptures in the original reverentially, develop oratorical skills, spiritual power through the practice of absolute purity, irresistible will-force, one-pointed missionary focus, courage of conviction and an uncompromising spiritual attitude that does not make common cause in the slightest sense with money or fame so that they can preach the glory of the Sanātan Dharma with authority and unapologetic boldness. Then shall the message of the Vedas thunder through the world bringing about a human renaissance. Such a renaissance, such a revival, such a recovery of the Sanātan spirit alone can save the Hindus as a race, as a civilisation. Such a virile conquest of the world alone can save it from destruction, save human civilisation from its impending perils, save humanity from extinction. My brilliant boys and girls, arise!

READ, BE BETTER INFORMED BEFORE YOU VENTURE TO NURSE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HINDUTVA WHICH HAS COME TO SAVE YOU FROM EXTINCTION AS A RACE

READ, BE BETTER INFORMED BEFORE YOU VENTURE TO NURSE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HINDUTVA WHICH HAS COME TO SAVE YOU FROM EXTINCTION AS A RACE

Hindus must acquaint themselves with Sri Aurobindo's stance on the Hindu-Muslim question. His predictions have played out unerringly in India's unfolding history since then. Read and be better informed before ignorantly attacking Hindutva. For good measure read J. Sai Deepak's two books on the Hindu-Muslim question. As for fringe communists, given your indoctrinated anti-dhārmic materialistic stance, reading these may perchance clarify conception and bring you back to the Sanātan fold as you shed what has been thrust upon you by your crafty thought-leaders. But for hard-core communists with depth-invasion of communist thought, even reading these may not help as the shut mind may not allow entry of new thought that will dispel delusion and displace what you hold to heart as 'dogma dear'. But for Hindus, ill-informed and easily influenced by leftist propaganda shaming Hindutva, it is a must, for it will be an eye-opener. Conviction sealed and secure, you will be ready to fight this civilisational war that has been thrust upon you by the invasive, proselytising Abrahamic faiths intent on destroying the Dharma, and the Marxist faithlessness tending to the same. 🕉 Hindu!

WE, HINDUS, NEED MISSIONARY ZEAL ... 1

WE, HINDUS, NEED MISSIONARY ZEAL ... 1

Hinduism must become aggressively missionary. Otherwise Hindus will decrease percentage-wise. No wonder Swamiji wanted this but was denied fulfilment by altered activity of his followers, of course by following other welfare lines laid down by him, for his was a universal being and he understood the limitations of lesser endowed men as also the compulsions of organisational existence in complex political scenario. But the fiery spirit that characterised Swamiji and was his life's work to try and infuse in his countrymen, more so in his followers, has been sadly diminishing over the decades till it has now been reduced to cipher, nay, even plummeting to the negative sometimes as compromise and commerce which characterise our capitalist society these days infilitrate the rank and file of his followers. 

Hindus keep getting victimised physically and through conversion to Christianity and Islam while Vivekananda's titular followers keep mutely watching. There is no organised effort to scale up missionary activity to propagate Hinduism across the world but there is every attempt to promote pseudoharmony of faiths which are simply irreconcilable on foundational grounds. The inability to call a spade a spade has mummified the mission of the Master. Therefore, we as individuals and as groups need to activate our own mental, intellectual and spiritual resources to discover in Vivekananda the message of self-mastery and missionary activity to serve our civilisation better. No need to wait on those who have compromised. Let us awake to our own responsibilities and fight on. So, onward!

Provided below is an extract from Swamiji in this regard:

(Prabuddha Bharata, September, 1898)

In an interview which a representative of Prabuddha Bharata had recently with the Swami Vivekananda, that great Teacher was asked: "What do you consider the distinguishing feature of your movement, Swamiji?"

"Aggression," said the Swami promptly, "aggression in a religious sense only. Other sects and parties have carried spirituality all over India, but since the days of Buddha we have been the first to break bounds and try to flood the world with missionary zeal."
