Full text of P.P.
Sarsanghchalakji's address:- The Sangh-Ganga that started flowing with
the efforts of P.P. Dr. Hedgewar in Nagpur in 1925 with a mission
to organise Hindu society has completed 75 years of activity awakening
the Bharatiyas from their centuries long slumber. This Sangh Ganga
has not only reached all states; districts or tehsils, beyond that all
development blocks and to many more villages but has also reached Hindus
in 35 Countries. This has created awareness about their cultural
and traditional roots and organising them to face the problems and assaults
on their culture. I had an opportunity to travel to Caribbean countries
where a World Hindu Conference was organised and the theme of the Conference
reflected the thinking of the Hindus in that part of the world- "Aatmano
Mokshartham jagad Hitaya Cha". Achieving personal Moksha while working
for the welfare of the world. These two terms are perfectly relative,
as Hindus believe that Atma is in cordial and harmonious relationship with
Vishwatma. The basic difference between Jeevatma and Vishwatma is
that Jeevatma is under the veil of ignorance and believes in constricted
life while Vishwatma is all pervading and ubiquitous. As the Jeevatma
gets enlightened and leaves the constrictions, he attains harmony with
Vishwatma, thus becoming aware of his unity with Parivar, Samaaj, Rashtra,
Humanity and Prakriti. This Jeevan yatra from Vyakti Parivar to Vishwa
Parivar is rightly expressed - Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
The World Hindu Conference
in Trinidad, in which representatives from 20 countries participated, was
inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Shri Basdeo Pande.
In the inaugural function itself, a videocassette was displayed showing
him chanting Hanuman chalisa before an audience of 40 thousand. Ram
Charitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa distinct significance for Hindus living
in those countries. Their ancestors were taken to those countries
some 150 years ago and were forced to live in inhuman conditions facing
enormous difficulties.
However, they have stuck
to their tradition and culture based on those scriptures. Since then,
Hindus in those countries have toiled hard for the respective countries
enriching them economically and socially. In the process, they have
reached the topmost social, political and administrative positions in countries
like Trinidad, Surinam, Guyana, etc. However, Hindus in those countries
are exposed to problems because of the disunited society and self-centered
motives. Fiji is the most recent glaring example.
Social unity is the prerequisite
for a stable society and a disunited society will be exploited by the forces
that are. Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh has been established outside Bharat
in many countries to bring unity among Hindus living in those countries.
Presently Surinam has 11, Guyana 4 and Trinidad 18 Shakhas. IN USA
60 in UK 70 shakhas are being organised. Apart from this, some other
organisations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Sewa International-IDRF, Hindu
Marathon, Bharat Vikas Parishad, Friends of India Society International,
are also actively working in many countries. Other Hindu organisations
like Ramakrishna Mission, Arya Samaj, Shri Swaminarayan Sampraday, Gayatri
Parivar, ISCON, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, and many other organisations are
working for Hinduism abroad. Sarvashri Murari Bapu, Ashram Bapu,
Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Swami Satyamitranand, Swami Satyanand, our Chair
today Dr. Pranav Pandya and many others frequently go on foreign
tours.
Bharat is the inspiration
for all the Hindus in other countries. A self confident, self reliant
and powerful Bharat will boost the moral of Hindus all over the world.
Developments in Bharat like the nuclear tests, satellites, missile technology,
super computer and cryogenic engines, have extended happiness and satisfaction
to Hindus in other countries.
Bharat is the only country
that gives intimacy as well as support to Hindus whenever they are in distress.
P. P. Guruji was asked in a press conference, "whether Bharat
is only for the Hindus?" "Only Bharat stands for Hindus," was his emphatic
answer. Thus, Hindus are responsible for the developed, prosperous,
and powerful Bharat. RSS is working for realisation of this since
last 75 years.
Every Swayamsevak has
to take a Pratigya that "I have become a part of Sangh to protect Hindu
Dharma, Hindu Samskriti and Hindu Samaaj and to work for the all round
development of Hindu Rashtra". Many political leaders and parties
talk of the all round development of Bharat. But, Sangh has set the
condition precedent that Hindu Dharma, Hindu Samskriti and Hindu Samaaj
are to be protected. If some Arabian country proposes that they would
develop Hindusthan provided everybody in Bharat accepts Islam, we shall
never accept it. IF some other country offers to develop Bharat on
the condition that she should become Christian, we shall not accept it.
Bharat is Hindu, it shall remain Hindu and the development of this country
will be based on Hindu ethics. This is what we believe in and we
will act accordingly.
Since last 50 years a
particular section belonging to Macaulayist and Marxist had opposed every
national effort. They keep on abusing any Hindu awakening as communal
adjoining some selected adjectives with them. One of my friends in
Lucknow had proposed that we should also follow suit by using, such epithets.
Long pondering did not produce any results. However, a follower of
Lohia from Varanasi, who is about to publish a book, has rightly named
them "Eurandpanthi" meaning "Euroindian".
The misinformation spread
by the British to create differences on caste-class-language lines With
the ulterior motive of ruling this country- a land of unity in diversity,
is being used by this class effectively. A Hindu from all the states
of Bharat used to proudly tell that he is a Hindu till 1867. An Urdu
book published from Lucknow then mentions that "four Hindus visited Mecca
for offering Sijda". The visitors from Hindusthan were Indian Muslims
known as Hindus in there. After the war of 1857, British had tried
to divide the society in all possible ways by spreading misinformation
like:
1. Hindu is a religion
like Islam and Christianity. They did not have a word parallel to
Dharma in their languages, in fact. Dharma is a binding force for
a society and does not represent any communal thought. However, the
textbooks in Bharat even now define Hindu as communal.
2. Secondly, Hindu
had been a slave always and Muslims were the rulers and were named so by
the Muslim invaders. Persian ruler Derius had used the word Hindu
in his inscription some 2500 years ago.
3. Thirdly, the
famous Aryan invasion theory. This theory has generated many other
divisive theories like Dalit- Savarna, Adivasi- non Adivasi, Brahmin- non-Brahmin,
Arya- Dravid, and many more. But, in recent past, many scholars have
proved the Aryan invasion a myth. Two European scholars have used
the modern DNA tests to prove that the DNA of natives of Europe and natives
of Bharat does not have anything in common.
A simple mention of a
sentence that, "Modern research has proved that the theory is controversial",
has raised a storm. The Eurondpanthi scholars are and their colleagues
are shouting at the top of their voice that this is saffronisation.
The same people were forcing their "communal secularism" for last 45 years
on all institutions of Bharat.
4. Fourthly, Hindusthan
was called 'a sub-continent because it was never a Rashtra. It was
stated that "we are a nation in the making". Atharva Veda describes
the evolution of a Rashtra in details. The scholars of this land
had very clear concepts about Rashtra.
5. Fifthly, the
Hindutva as professed by Sangh is anti Muslim, anti Christian. Till
now, Sangh was painted as anti Muslim but since last two years, Sangh is
picturised as anti Christian all over the world. Most of the incidents
mentioned for this propaganda were false or cooked up whether it is in
Rajkot, Vayanad in Kerala, Illahabad in UP, proclaimed rape of a nun in
Bihar, Jhabua in Madhya Pradesh. A communal Muslim organisation-
Deendar Anjuman- was responsible for the blasts in Churches in Andhra Pradesh
and Karnataka. However, the secular press did not have the courtesy
even to regret that they had accused and blamed Sangh for all these blasts.
Both Islam and Christianity
differentiate between the believers and the non-believers. Those
who do not practice Christianity are called Heathens and those who do not
practice Islam are called kafirs. 1000 representatives from different
religions and nations attended the Millenium Peach Meet of Religious leaders
at the UNO. The Meet resolved to end the conflicts all over the world
based on the famous Hindu principle "Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" as
this would lead to peace in the conflict torn world. However, even
before the ink has dried up, a Bishops Conference of Vatican published
a 36page statement saying that Christianity is the only real religion.
In the press conference, Bishop Cardinal Joseph Ratjinger stated that treating
all religions as equal is "the end of the tolerance" for them. But,
in the same breath he also mentioned that "this does not mean that they
have any disrespect to other religions."
It is very nice of Pope
that he has exposed his mind. This will bare the reality hidden behind
the white robes of the Roman Catholic bishops. Till 12th October
1999, the Missionaries used to take a secret oath that is anti Bharat.
"I take an oath and declare that whenever I get a chance, I would directly
or indirectly fight a decisive war with the non believers, Protestants,
and see their end as per the gospels of the Church," is the beginning sentence
of the oath.
World Council of Churches
held in Delhi in 1961 in its third Conference produced a rejoinder to the
"freedom of religion" definition. The rejoinder, which goes a step
further of the definition in our Constitution even gives freedom to interfere
in the national or international politics as the opportunity, arises.
The Baptist Mission inspired
militancy in Tripura has forced the non-tribal population of Tripura to
leave the state. This is nothing less than the ethnic cleansing as
the terrorists have opposed and banned the usage of any Hindu symbols like
Tilak or Bindi, Durga Pooja, etc, 4 Sangh Karyakartas have been abducted
by the militants inspired by the mission. They were behind the murder
of Gurudeo Shantikali and burning of a Tribal boy's hostel run by the VHP.
They want to carve out an independent nation of hilly districts of Tripura.
Govt. of Bharat and Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram participated in the UNs
"Conference on Rights of Indigenous People". Bharat's stand at the
conference was that Bharat does not have any "Indigenous People" but has
"Indigenous population". All the tribes in Bharat are a part of Hindu
society but the Church is conspiring, to separate them.
Mahatma Gandhi wrote
in 'Harijan' on 7th January 1939- "If You believe that you are the only
people who can listen to the melancholy of the people wandering in the
dark, then I believe that you have no place in Hindusthan."
98% Muslims of Bharat
have not come from any other country. Only a few invaders had come
from outside. Religion has changed. Change of religion does
not change the motherland nor does it change - the ancestors. Countries
like Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, have neither changed their motherland nor
their ancestors. They even celebrate the festivals that are pre-Islam.
However, certain things have not worked out well in Bharat. Mullah
Maulavi class in Bharat has not allowed the common Muslim to be nationalist
or follow the tradition. Instead of pride in the ancestry of Shri
Rama, Shri Krishna, the Mullahs want the Muslims to be linked to the invaders
like Gaznavi, Taimurlang, Babar, Aurangzeb, etc.
Demolition of the Babari
structure on 6th December 1992 was the result of this psyche. Shia
leader Prince Anjum had accepted the offer of Hindus to replace to structure
to different site. A Hindu had offered his large land for the purpose.
But the self-proclaimed champion of Muslims in Bharat Syed Shahabuddin
wrote a letter on 4th July 1987 to Prince Anjum opposing the proposal.
Sangh, VHP, Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, were blamed for the demolition of the
structure. I chanced, upon reading a letter addressed to the then
Prime Minister by a Congress leader from Maharashtra. The letter
clearly mentions that "the kitchen cabinet" of Narsimha Rao had "involvement
in the demolition of the structure though Bajarang Dal and Shiv Sena might
also be involved to some extent". The opinion of the educated Muslims
in Bharat does not agree with the opinion of the Mullahs being aware of
the fact that the Muslims of other countries would not accept them.
Why were the 22000 Bangladeshi Muslims deported for UAE? The Muhajirs from
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, who played a crucial role in the formation of
Pakistan are now second class citizens in Pakistan and are facing the atrocities.
President of Quami Muhajir Movement, Altaf Hussain, who is presently in
UK for security reasons, stated the other day that, "creation of Pakistan
is a historical blunder." Baluch, Pakhtoon, and Sindhi leaders attended
the meeting in Action Townhall in London. The Baluch leader Sardar
Ataullah was elected as the common leader of the group and while addressing
the gathering he said, "I do not believe that Pakistan can be saved.
We will have to fight for the big Azaadi if we are not awarded our rights."
Will Bharat have to replay a role it had played during the creation of
Bangladesh?
The concept of common
Islami Millat has proved to be futile. Muslims in Bharat will have
to Indianise Islam. Muslim in Bharat will then be a part of the common
heritage. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, soon after the tragedy of partition,
while addressing the convocation ceremony of Aligarh Muslim University,
had said the same thing. "I am proud of my ancestors and tradition
that has awarded me the great culture and tradition. You are Muslims
and I am Hindu. We practice different religions, or we might not
believe in any religion, but we have a common tradition to which you have
as much of right as I have."
If Muslims in Indonesia
accept Rama and Krishna as their ancestors, Ramayana and Mahabharat as
their scriptures, believe in the piety of Gangajala, name their children
as Sukarno, Suhrid, Meghavati, Lakshmi, Sarasvati; install the Geeta Sandesh
in their squares even when he is a Muslim, why should not Muslims of Bharat
work out such a thing? Recently, Indonesia has printed the picture of Ganesh
on their currency. The Eurandpanthis will create a hubbub if this
is done in Bharat.
ISI of Pakistan is spreading
its fangs in Bharat and is proving disruptive. The arms and ammunition
being smuggled in Bharat by the agency is enormous. Nationalist Muslims
of Bharat should keep a watch on the activities of their agents like any
common Bharatiya. The Jehadis does not have any love for Islam.
The other day, some Jehadis in Dodda District of Jammu, pierced the eyes
of Muslim youth and blinded them. Why were they punished? They were
innocent. Just because the villagers refused to send the youth to
their training camp! All the villagers were beaten black and blue after
tying their hands up.
However, the Eurandpanthi
Human Rights organisations did not see any Human Rights violation in this
incident. The traitors in this country only have the Human Rights
according to the Eurandpanthi. In Sanskrit these characters are known
as Arinandan, one who regale the enemy. Bharat has lost many wars
because of the Arinandans. Society should be aware of them.
Another invasion is in
the offing these days and that is economic invasion. This system
has three preconditions, namely, 1. Sufficient capital. 2.
Availability of raw material at cheap rates & 3. Ready market
for the finished goods. All the western powers have used their colonies
towards this end making the colonies poorer. The state of affairs
have reached a stage where 20% population in these developed countries
are enjoying the 80% resources of world while the 80% population in other
countries are forced to live on 20% resources. The developed countries
will have to restrict themselves if they really wish to develop the underdeveloped
countries. The representatives of the developed countries come to
the international forum with all their expertise and with a prepared agenda
to be 'forced' on the developing countries. Representatives from
Bharat were not seen attending these conferences with such planning or
preparation. A country like Bharat with its size and population can
stop the international forum from being a puppet in the hands of the international
powers. It can fight for the right of the developing and underdeveloped
countries.
The recent rise in petroleum
products has hurt one an all. International rate per barrel was raised
suddenly from 11$ to 30$. The economy of all the oil importing countries
has been affected. Government is trying its best to control the losses.
However, people will believe in their efforts only when the government
tries sincerely to cut down the lavish expenditure of the government, as
it is the biggest oil-consuming agency. The number of ministers and
their entourage will have to be curbed. The administrative structure
will have to plan their movements without wastage. If ministers decide
to save on extra expenditure, then the whole administration will follow
suit.
But, more serious problem
is the stocks of natural gas! Research will have to be done on alternative
fuels. One of my friends in Uttar Pradesh is doing rounds to government
offices for permission to produce Ethanol from Sugarcane. Brazil
uses Ethanol as fuel and recently Thailand has decided to use the same
as fuel. The bureaucratic wrangles did not allow things to work fast
and only two distilleries in Maharashtra and two in Uttar Pradesh have
been sanctioned permission to produce Ethanol. We have the potential
to produce all the fuel required for the vehicles in Bharat through this
method.
Another glaring example
is that of the chemical fertilizers. The import and the subsidy of
these fertilizers are incurring heavy losses to the government. Everybody
is aware today that the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are
reducing the productivity of the soil. West is more inclined today
towards use of the organic fertilizers. We have the boon of ample
cattle but they are being butchered and their meat exported. Cattle
when sent to the abattoir costs Rs.8000/- only while if it is kept alive
can turn up cowdung and other products worth Rs.25000/-. Usage of
organic manure will improve social health as well as maintain the productivity
of the soil.
Third example can be
of developing the infrastructure for the rural areas. When our ministers
go begging before the international agencies for the development of infrastructure,
we are upset. Local financial resources can be encouraged towards
creation of these facilities like construction of pucca roads. State
of Maharashtra has set an example in this direction. Other states
should follow and a network of road and other infrastructure should be
established for enhancing the speed of development.
Multinational corporations
and some Indian industries are also encouraging consumerism, knowingly
or n knowingly. Nature has all the resources for us to be used properly
but uncontrolled used of the resource will surely create problems of humanity.
Philosopher in west are worried about the morality in life with rise of
the consumerism while we are aping the west culturally. We will have
to be careful in protecting our cultural ethos from the western influence.
The best way to guard
our country from all these invasions is to create a proud, developed and
powerful nation based on Swadeshi science, technology and swadeshi philosophy.
We will have to develop a model of social, economical, political development
suited to Bharat according to the present times. We believe this
to be the path of national regeneration taking Bharat to the Param Vaibhav
sthiti. We are not doing this only for our country but towards the
development of whole world.

the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG). Leader of the Indian
delegation informed the meeting of the Commonwealth Senior Officials held
in Samoa's capital city.
2) Terrorist activity
in J & K, which had gathered momentum after Kargil war, has now been
contained. Sustained efforts by Security Forces in the area have
borne fruit. Normal life in the State is largely restored.
Tourist traffic has also increased.
3.) A few years back
RSS and its associated organisations were totally ignored by news media
(especially in English language); but now it is in the newspapers everyday.
Issues raised by RSS are reported and discussed. A healthy sign!
4) Released secret papers
of Erstwhile USSR army has indicated that Netaji was very much alive in
1946. It means he had survived 1945 aircrash, where he has reported
to have dies. Released secret papers of UK Intelligence services
also corroborate this!
5.) Shri Jitendra Prasad,
a senior Congress leader and member of the Congress Working Committee has
signed his papers for presidentship of the Congress against Smt.
Sonia Gandhi. This is for the first time that some one has dared
to stand against Nehru family in Congress! Smt. Sonia will of course
win, but severe differences in Congress are already in the open.
6.) Shri Rajnath Singh
has taken over as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. In Goa, BJP lead
coalition has taken over the State Government. Shri Manohar Parrikar

9. FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
All the work you do is done for your own benefit. God has not fallen
into a ditch for you and me to help Him out by building a hospital, or
something of that sort! He allows you to work...... not in order
to help Him, but you may help yourself. Do you think even an ant
will die for want of your help? Most arrant blasphemy! The world does riot
need you at all. Cut out the word 'help' from your mind. You
cannot help; it is blasphemy! You worship. When you give a morsel
of food to a dog, you worship the dog as God. He is all and is in
all.
Swami Vivekananda
