Lord Narayana is the Protector of Sanatana Dharma.

[Guest guest]

Dear Akhilesh, Its very gladdening to understand your deep concern for the protection of the vedic culture. The message written by you reflects the urgency of the situation that the progressively devouring Kali yuga is posing to the spiritual culture and all individual souls right to gain access to the eternal happiness of serving Krsna directly in the spiritual world. The same urgency in the recent times was shown effectively by Srila Prabhupada (Founder Acharya of the International Soceity of Krsna Counsciousness - ISKCON) which was but a manifestation of the mood of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu gave a very heavy responsibility unto the

shoulders of all those born in India - bharat bhumite manusya janma hilo jara, janma sarthak kori kar para upkar Meaning that its the prime duty of all those who are born in the sacred land of India that firstly they should make their own lives perfect - become themselves devotees and then enlighten others. The first step in changing the face of the world is to change thyself. If we really want to protect the vedic culture, we have to start doing it on individual (micro) level then take it on the macro level. We have to ask ourself - am I giving enough time to my spiritual development, is everyone in my family a living devotee, then extend it to broader family, neighbourhood, soceity etc... The main emphasis of the other religions - namely Chritians and Islam - is on the sacred books. Do we have enought time to read Bhagavad Gita or Srimad Bhagavatam, have satsang

every day? If we cant change on individual level, change on soceity or national or international level is a far off thing. And then ofcourse, we have to follow footsteps of Lord Chaitanya and his followers, if we really want to revolutionise the world. Lord Chaitanya appeared only to save the fallen souls and thus revolutionised the whole world - more visibly through His empowered representative - Srila Prabhupada. Therefore, if we really want to be part of this revolution, we have to be actually SELFLESS. Akhilesh, world needs people like you and based on our sincerity, Krsna will empower to do miraculous things, the way Srila Prabhupad and his followers are doing around the world.

On the basis of opinions raised in Vedic circles, I wish to state the following : 1. There is an organized move to undermine the relevance of Sanatana Dharma. Pseudo-secularists and Marxist Intellectuals are falsifying Indian History and ancient texts to mislead the followers of Sanatana Dharma. To them Ramayana and Mahabharatam are mere mythological texts and Rama and Krishna are fictitious characters . They are hiding and falsifying the actual archaeological evidences received from ancient sites like Ayodhya and Dwaraka . They are not allowing government controlled media such as Doordarshan to broadcast Vedic devotional programs . 2. Well Organized minority communities are trying to create divisions within the Vedic religion by promoting ‘artificial’ issues as discrimination of ‘Dalits’ . This is just to promote religious conversions.

These missionaries are conveniently hiding the fact that, those who have converted to their religion are treated as ‘low caste’ . 3. Many 'Hindutva' politicians who are claiming themselves to be

protectors of the religion are actually not following the religion in their own lives. These people are always willing to compromise own faith, for getting selfish gains. 4. There is a lot of unfortunate infighting among the followers of various faiths in Hindu religion . Mud slinging by them in public enable anti-Vedic forces to tarnish the image of Vedic Sanatana Dharma . 5. Vedas are the breath of Lord Narayana. As such, it is the duty of the Lord’s devotees to protect Vedic faith. They should be deeply devoted to the Lord without fail and apply His instructions (given in Gita) in their day to day activities, without fail . The devotee should also serve and encourage other devotees to the best of his ability to promote devotional services . If so, the Lord Himself will only be pleased to use His divine power through His each devotee to do the needful in this tricky age called 'kali-yuga' . May Lord Sri Krishna bless you !!!
