INDIFFERENCE, THOU UNPARDONABLE OFFENCE!

INDIFFERENCE, THOU UNPARDONABLE OFFENCE!

If there is one sin on earth, it is apathy. Just self-concern is not enough to make a man. He lives in society. Hence, indifference to the suffering of others in a world of universal suffering is an unpardonable offence, no less. 

It hardly befits a man to be a 'pigeon of happiness' (সুখের পায়রা) when it comes to social life. One is obligated to serve others which is the foundational principle upon which society is built for cooperative living. Hence, apathy to human suffering but care for one's own interest are the two faces of a single coin which may be dubbed selfishness.

THE REVERSE COLONISATION

THE REVERSE COLONISATION 

Go to the West, get intellectually trained in the best universities there, then use such developed faculties to subvert their culture and impose yours with all its regressive religious rudiments. How delightfully you spread your religion and how deceitfully so---rupturing the West from within! You stated your objective in 1924 and a century later are still pursuing it and with remarkable success. But what an organised treachery! It indeed is the clash of civilisations as Samuel P. Huntington prophesied. And it indeed is in fulfilment of Will Durant's thesis of a civilisation being destroyed not only by the external enemy but by the virus multiplying from within. Be on your guard fast, O western nations, for your colonising karma is at last recoiling on you. And it will spell your doom, the demise of your wonderful civilisation. That cannot be allowed. So, resist.

কত ছিল, সব গেছে |

নিয়ে গেল বেছে বেছে |

গেছে আশা, গেছে ভাষা,

চোখে দেখি ভাসা ভাসা |

এই বুঝি ইডি এল,

বুঝি, যা বেঁচেছে, তাও গেল |

ওরে, ওরে, ছেড়ে দে |

মোরে তোরা নেড়ে দে |

জবুথবু হয়ে আমি,

জড়বৎ, অস্তগামী |

যদি বেঁচে ফিরি কভু,

মোদীরে মানিব প্রভু |

এই হেন দশা মোর,

দুয়ারে দুয়ারে চোর |

CLIMATE CHANGE ... 1

CLIMATE CHANGE ... 1

Widespread afforestation, simplification of lifestyle, heavy reduction in the use of fossil fuel and global negative population growth can conjointly save us from catastrophic climate change. These may sound utopian ideas at this moment but unless they are executed, we will face mass execution by the end of this century when an unsustainable 11 billion strong world population will kill us all. It will be population control at last, alas!

DEFENCE OF THE DHARMA ... 1

DEFENCE OF THE DHARMA ... 1

We need a strong polity in defence of the Dharma. Each one of us must be armed in courage of conviction arising from Self-knowledge. The Atman is the repository of all strength. These are not mere words but are the realisations of rishis which are verifiable and are being verified in every age. Each one of us can be a rishi and we must. Only then will fear cease. And only then will we begin to live a life worth living. For what is a life fraught with fear? Instead of endlessly worrying about what may befall us, take up the cause of the defence of the Dharma and see how power flows. Read the Bhagavadgeetā, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Sitā Rām Goel, Rām Swarūp, K.S.Lāl, Jadunāth Sārkār, the Qur'an, the Hadees and the Sirā, and that great scripture 'Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathāmrita' religiously, and see 'what an electric change comes.' 

Meditation concentrates the mind and the focussed mind is the repository of all power. Keep the mind concentrated. Build up thus the polity's concentration. National concentration strengthened, national growth is but inevitable. The Dharma will then flourish. Reconversion of all perverts to Islam and Christianity must be effected through strong adherence to the Sanātan Dharma by Sanātanis and by effective preaching in every phase and movement of life. The atmosphere must throb with the vibration of the Vedas till the whole subcontinent is rendered Sanātan.

SHEYKĀL (FIRST STANZA) ... ĀMI JODI JANMA NITEM KĀLIDĀSER KĀLEY

SHEYKĀL (FIRST STANZA) ... ĀMI JODI JANMA NITEM KĀLIDĀSER KĀLEY

Oh, had I been born in the age of Kalidas!

Perchance, would have been the tenth gem

In the necklace donned with nine.

A solitary song, a paean would sing

Unto the king and ask for

In the tranquil edges of Ujjain

A house hedged by a garden.

By the bank of Reba, 'neath the champa,

By eve would assemble all,

Oh, in sportive mood, in self-musing

I’d sing out in wild abandon.

The vessel of life would flow on

In soft and aimless way

Oh, had I been born in the age of Kalidas!

Composed by Rabindranath Tagore

MESSAGE ON MOTHER'S DAY

MESSAGE ON MOTHER'S DAY 

Bring up your daughters not only to become successful career women but also great mothers to three or four valorous children. Hindus are diminishing in numbers drastically in India and elsewhere while Muslims multiply. As Swamiji used to say, "Let our daughters grow up to be mothers of 'veerputra' (brave boys)." Thakur used to say, "After the birth of two or four children live like brother and sister." There we have the formula for the age, one that we are neglecting right now but which we should assiduously follow to avert our civilisational collapse, for an Islamic takeover will mean imposition of the Sharia and subjugation of the Hindus, nay, their total destruction.
