Hinduize politics and militarize Hindus!
"Hinduize politics and militarize Hindus!" - Veer Savarkar gave this call as the only means of salvation for our mother land. 72 years later, I think this is still the only means of survival of India and Hinduism. Sooner the acharyas and seers of our religion wake upto this and discard "spiritual-only" interpretation and application of religion, to include politics and society as intergral part of their religion, better is our chance of survival.
Hindutva politics post savarkar has always been divorced from main stream Hindu spirituality and religion and was thus deemed for failure. RSS don't have a single meditational or spiritual aspect in its training. Everything is physical and intellectual. Yet they claim they are representing Hindus - the most spiritual society in the history of civilizations.
Now our spirituality, religion and its temples are failing as the common masses move to the lure of Xianity and Islam, simply because Hinduism is not involved in day to day life and socio politics of the people of the land. This was the syndrome that spet death on Buddhism. If Hinduism also takes this intellectual-spiritual path, it is doomed to meet the same fate.
For examples, if only temples had cattered a little more to than just prayers and donations of the public, and had taken active interest and guidance in the local community issues and politics, conversion would have been impossible. Only Hindus have been duped by secularism and has completely separated religion and politics. This was never originally so. All the other communities take direct political inspiration from their religion.
Spiritualism and Nationalism must go hand in hand and at par with same importance. Right now I can see only one Hindu popular saint preaching this actively without fear. But most of the rest are too concerned about their image.
What is Here, is Elsewhere. What is not Here, is Nowhere.
