[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

The following is the emotion filled benedictory

address by our Swamiji at our Mathurapuri Ashram on

the Republic day 2007.

 

 

“I wish everyone was taught how India attained

independence rather than being told when she attained

her independence. Today, the Department of History

enjoys very little status for the very reason that all

desire to pursue only that study which would land them

in gainful employment.

 

Just as one earns Bhakti by reading the life histories

of great devotees like Mira, Aazhwars, Nayanmars, so

too, does one earn love for the Nation and realize the

value of independence only by reading the history of

our Nation wherein we find the struggle, the torture

undergone by our forefathers in the Andaman prison

cells for gaining the freedom for India.

 

While looking at the ‘self-centered’ who provoke the

feelings of the people (to fight each other in the

name of religion, language, state, etc.) to meet their

own selfish needs one is roused to anger and feels

emboldened to fight them.

 

‘Oh, My sweet Mother India! I shed tears whenever I

think of the sufferings that you underwent. You are

like Draupadi who was dishonored in spite of having

Krishna by her side and married to the mighty

Pandavas; the incarnations of innumerable gods on this

soil, births of innumerable Mahans, the several Holy

Rivers that run across this country, the existence of

Mokshapuris, countless philosophies and countless Holy

Places in this country seem to be in vain while

looking at innumerable sufferings that you have

undergone.

 

The lullaby song sung for Alexander as a baby in the

cradle was, “Loot India!”

Oh, how many have followed his footsteps and looted

you. How many have enslaved you! Well! On the other

hand I wonder at your power to hold yourself up in

dignity in spite of innumerable invasions. Many

disparage the several languages found here. It is not

easy to create a single language of literary worth and

it was only due to the presence of many intellects

that so many languages have been born here; and, for

the very same reason many philosophies and ways of

worship have also come about.

 

Oh, Mother India! My only prayer to you is – Rise up

with the support of your spiritual power! While

blessing the Indians with high intellect why have you

made them spineless? Through devotion, worship and

love bring them together who now stand divided in the

name of religion, caste and language. You should lead

the whole world.

 

Let a new India sans violence and selfishness but at

the same time devoid of lethargy and cowardice be

born. Let us all, with this in view, take the Name of

the Lord and chant the Maha Mantra; make all chant the

Maha Mantra. Fill India to the brim with Naama Kirtan.

Let Her offer to the world the spiritual bliss that

she has found. Let us stand unique by combining any

flawless modern way with the ancient one.

 

Innumerable Mahans like Sri Aurobindo, Sri Rama

Teertha, Sri Jnanananda, Kanchi Mahaperiyava Sri

Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swami, Bhagavan Yogi

Ramsuratkumar have declared that India would very soon

be the torchbearer of the world and Ram Rajya would be

born again. Ram Rajya is verily where Truth, purity,

Righteousness and love prevails. Quite often Yogi

Ramsuratkumar used to say, ‘Ram Rajya is not very

far.’

 

What does the term ‘not very far’ really mean? How far

is it really? This is verily in our hands. Ram Rajya

would get closer and closer as we perform Nama

Sankirtan and help others also to do it. "

Let’s all chant and bring back the lost glory of our

Mother Land.

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
