Crisis on Hindu Dharma and the responsibility of Hindus
I call the ‘Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav’ organised by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti a ‘Kumbha Mela’. This is in fact our Kumbha Mela. I salute Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, its initiator, since He is bringing Hindus together not only from all over India but from the world. I have been working in this field for the past 40 years and full-time for the past 10 years, but each time I come here, I take enough inspiration to last me another year ! – Mr Vinod Kumar Sarvodaya |
The ‘Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav’ started on 16th June 2023 at Ramnath Devasthan, Goa. The article here details some important aspects.
1. How to remove the Jihad instilled in the brains of fanatics ?
There is an Arabic proverb, which translates – ‘We can pull out a person stuck in the mud, but if the mind of a person is filled with the mud of evil thoughts, it is impossible to remove it’. This is something to think about. In the same way, Jihad is instilled in the brains of religious fanatics. Until the Jihad in their heads is destroyed, it can’t be uprooted. Superficial solutions will not work, this has to be uprooted.
Among religious fanatics, children are taught to become Jihadis from childhood. A United Nations report in 2008 said that the Taliban use children as ‘human bombs’. The terrorist organisation Al Qaeda has established its main base on the border of Afghanistan. Parents of 10 to 13-year-old children are paid $50-$60 (Rs 4,000-Rs 5,000) and then their children are taken there. When they are ready for Jihad, they are mounted on horses and driven around like bridegrooms. Seeing that their child is going for Jihad, people visit and greet his parents. These children become Jihadis after being lured by the one who commits Jihad, claims to attaining heaven and getting 72 virgins in heaven. They only know that kafirs (Non-Muslims) are to be killed. Being a Hindu (A Kafir) is the fault of the person being killed.
Seven children were reading the Quran in a madarasa in Peshawar, Pakistan. They were asked, ‘How many of you want to become doctors or administrative officers ?’ None of the boys raised their hands. When asked, ‘How many of you are ready for Jihad ?’, all of them raised their hands. This is the result of their education. A Pakistani journalist, AR Jamal, has written in the ‘Times’ Daily about a research conducted on 600 Jihadis.
These Jihadis said that they get 72 virgins in heaven for Jihad and killing kafirs, and hence, they commit Jihad. Jihadis have no hesitation, fear, sensitivity or sympathy when killing non-Muslims. They live and die only to exterminate the non-Muslims off the Earth and raise the flag of Islam all over the world. Those who die are not Muslims. So, for Jihadis, they are nothing but enemies.
2. Hindus need to have kshatravrutti (A warrior attitude) to resist oppression
A life that is usually full of injustice and oppression is seen by Muslims as a struggle for Jihad. So, there is no happiness and peace in their life. Theirs is a life of cruelty, conflict, violence and torture throughout the year. They rarely experience peace. On the contrary, Hindus live happily. There isn’t an iota of happiness among the Muslims. Killing kafirs has become their only task.
The Hindu community is charitable. Sanatan Hindu culture presents a vision of universality in the world. Hindus are symbols of tolerance. There is no end to this tolerance. Hindus are generous, tolerant, kind, and forgiving. We visit the temples to behold and worship Deities. Hindu Dharma has slogans such as – ‘Victory to Sanatan Hindu Dharma’, ‘Destroy adharma’ and ‘May the world prosper’. We do not even know what is adharma or who is our enemy, because our temple priests do not tell us this. We pray to the Goddess to destroy the evil. Praying to the Goddess does not mean that we should sit idle and make no effort to destroy the evil.
3. It is only possible to protect oneself and Dharma if Hindus make a concerted effort
Hindus live happily. Instead of patriotism, they have adopted an indulgent lifestyle prevalent in foreign countries. Hindus do not think how patriotic the citizens of Japan, Germany, America, UK and France are. No Indian feels like doing something for his/her country.
Let me tell you a small story. Once there was a big fire in the forest. A sparrow was trying to extinguish it bringing water in its beak. A lion asked the sparrow, “Will the forest fire get extinguished by pouring water from your beak ?” The sparrow replied, “I am at least trying to extinguish the fire. The next generation will not blame me for not doing anything to extinguish it. I am practising my Dharma to the best of my ability”. The moral of the story is to know one’s Dharma. Dharma should be practised along with karma, and self-protection is the greatest human Dharma. Saving our Dharma is our only worship.
Invaders destroyed innumerable temples in India because there was no unity among Indians. The biggest problem is that we do not have unity. We have been defeated many times because of traitors amongst us. The fanatics drove the Hindus out of regions such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Bangladesh, and established their control there. Hindus do not even think about this. So, Hindus have to do something concrete to survive.
4. Indian leaders and religious preachers attempt to turn Hindus into eunuchs
Dr Ram Manohar Lohia once said, “India has been enslaved repeatedly because we bow to the enemy and compromise every time. If we continue to bow down like this, one day we will cease to exist”. It is not appropriate to keep crying that Islamic invaders destroyed our temples, because it is a fact that we were weak in front of their attacks. Therefore, we should try to instil the radiance of Hinduism in ourselves. The radiance in us has been lost. Our leaders and religious preachers make no efforts to instil aggression in us. On the contrary, they are creating a defeatist mentality in us of getting trampled upon by the enemy. Dr Lohia had said, “Give us deeds and promises that have the head of Mother India, the heart of Shrikrishna and the boundaries of Shriram’. Indians are weapon worshippers, but we are not permitted to own weapons. Isn’t this an attempt to weaken us ? Everyone should think about this.
Permitted or not, fanatics do not stop keeping weapons. Hindus respect the Indian laws; therefore, they do not own weapons. A law should be made to permit Hindus to own weapons. “The civilization and culture of India have so much power that these can do a great deal to save humanity”, John Woodwork wrote. He adds, “The Indian civilization is in danger. The destruction of Indian civilization would be catastrophic for the whole world”. He was a Britisher, born in Kolkata. American historian Sir William James said, “It is a shame for every Indian student today that he does not have complete knowledge of India”. The foreigners who came to India were well-aware of the greatness and culture of India; however, our society, leaders and religious preachers never teach us that we must not tolerate oppression.
5. Muslim countries unite globally to destroy Hinduism
Tolerating torture is the worst thing. Arya Chanakya had said, ‘If a person does not know about nationalism, does not have patriotism and is not aware of the Nation, then this is his teacher’s failure. If a person is inspired by the spirit of patriotism in the fabric of the country, then it is a victory for his teachers’. In recent times, a new trend of ‘Hinduphobia’ and ‘Dismantling Hinduism’ has started. A Conference on ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva’ was organised in America from 10th to 12th September 2021. Since Narendra Modi’s Government came to power in India, all the Muslim countries have become active against the Indian Government. They believe that the spread of Hinduism in India should be stopped. Representatives from 70 Departments across 50 Universities of the world participated in this Conference. The term ‘Islamophobia’ was used at that Conference. Islamophobia is currently on the rise. Socially reproduced prejudices and aversion to Islam and Muslims, as well as actions and practices that attack, exclude or discriminate against persons on the basis that they are or perceived to be Muslim and be associated with Islam is called ‘Islamophobia’. Muslim countries are active to destroy Islamophobia. They appeal not to fear Islam. Abducting our non-Muslim children, robbing and killing us, is the barbaric culture of Muslims. We need to fight Islam against this.
6. Appeasement of Muslims by the Government is a warning bell for Hindus
Rs 5,000 crore were given to minorities in India in 2022-23. In the past 8 years, it has increased by approximately Rs 2,000 crore. We pay so much to promote Jihad indirectly. The Government says, ‘We are not appeasing Muslims, we are empowering them’. The empowerment of Muslims in India should stop.
7. Every Hindu youth should spare at least one hour daily to serve Dharma
Every youth should spare at least an hour daily to serve Dharma. This is necessary to awaken the entire society against Islamic Jihad and the conversion of Hindus by Christians. People we meet daily should be made aware of our enemies. Every day a little bit should be said about this in society. Everyone needs to spare 1 to 2 hours per day for this task. Protecting our country is our primary duty and a very noble task.
