HINDU DHARM IN A CHANGING WORLD

By Dr. Babu Suseelan

For centuries, our Vedas, Upanishads, Darshans, and Purans have
influenced the originators of different schools of Philosophy,
Psychology, Health and Natural Sciences, Ethics, Logic, Art and
literature. Our all inclusive thought system has provided the world
with a rich, highly complex philosophical system that covers every
aspect of the universe. Our great Rishis held that the universe
reveals the workings, the development, the realization, the unfolding
of the world spirit (Brahman). The universe is spiritual. It has
direction and the explanation of ordinary facts, human action, change
and strategies for living. As a result India became opulent. We
became rich with spiritual, cultural and universal thought system.
Hindu Dharma has attracted the attention of world’s greatest
thinkers, scholars and philosophers.

Even today Hindutva has more explanation on the world than those
available in Newtonian mechanics or Darwinian biology, Social
Darwinism, Empiricism, Rationalism, and Marxism or in any other
fundamentalist, reductionist dogmas.

Hindu concept of Integral Humanism is instrumental in the current
Human Rights moment and Environmental Protection Movement. Life-Span
Development in Psychology, Transcendentalism, Holistic Health Care,
transition from the disease model to Life Model of Practice in
psychiatry and general systems theory has its roots in our Vedas.
Even before eclectic thinkers coined the term "Global Village", we
have been preaching, practicing and promoting the concept of "Lokha
Samsatha Sukhino Bhavanthu and Vasudeva Kudumbakam". System thinkers
and activists of several social movements seeking foundations and
scaffolds for their principles and programs were inspired by our
universal, pluralistic and all inclusive Vedas, Upanishads and
Darsanas.

In spite of our universal, systemic, all inclusive and tolerant
philosophy, and pacifism; we were invaded, attacked; our wealth was
looted, our country was divided, minds were polluted, people were
forcefully converted and people were misdirected.

Thousands of years of Islamic invasion and Christian colonialism had
resulted in Hindus moving in different directions with lack of
self—esteem. We have embraced alien ideologies. Our bogus
secularists, Marxists, atheists and Jihadist have made an unholy
alliance against Hindutva. They have deliberately infused mind
viruses and we became victims of infinite variety of disorders
including Cognitive Disorder, Denial, pacifism, apathy, indifference
and escapism.

DOING GOOD: THE LIMITS OF BENEVOLENCE Bahujana Hithaya Bhahujana
Sukhaaya (We always aspires the welfare and Happiness of one and all)

Our highest goal is “Asato Maa Sadgamaya (Lead me from Unreal to
Reality)

Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya (Lead me from darkness to light)

Mritor Maa Amritanagamaya (Lead me from death to immortality)

We believe and practice Ahimsa, tolerance, pluralism, coexistence,
human rights, universalism and secularism. In the name of tolerance,
pluralism and secularism, we also accept without critical evaluation
parochialism, alien ideologies, Hajj subsidy, favoritism, and special
privileges provided to people who are forcefully and deceptively
converted into exclusivist dogmas.

Concealing the truth, ignoring reality and blind acceptance of
dangerous and destructive practices may often lead to terrible
results. While our impulse for benevolence is well intentioned, the
results often border on insanity. We, Hindus with tolerant and
passive nature accept rather than challenge critical issues.

Hindus need to address several pressing problems facing us. We cannot
move forward by hiding behind a thick wall of Denial. Overcoming
denial and facing threatening issues like coercive religious
conversion, Jihadi terrorism, subversive activities and Marxist
menace are very important.

Several Hindu organizations and spiritual leaders continue to spend
too much time looking inward, planning too much from the past
history, rather than creative imagination and current reality. They
suffer from indifference, apathy, otherworldliness, and do not
demonstrate sophistication needed to be viable and visible, let alone
assertive in the changing political context. They may have good
intentions. Are good intentions good enough? I do not condemn those
who wish to preach “Aham Brahmasmi” Ahimsa Paramodharma or “Vasudeva
Kudumbhakam”. Searching always within for answers for external
causes, blaming Hindu victims, having guilt without reasons, use of
twisted logic and excessive zeal for pseudo secularism continue to
plague Hindus around the world.

The Denial, Cognitive confusion, and the secular disorder have so
twisted reality while Hindu intellectuals and activists are called
dysfunctional; and pseudo-secularists, Marxist anarchists, Jihadi
terrorists and conversion mafia are regarded as hope of India. Such
irrational logic and twisted thinking have unintended consequences.

In an attempt to preach suppression of our desires, ahimsa, tolerance
and do good philosophy, very often bad things happen. India’s sacred
institutions are destroyed, temple wealth is looted, and our children
are made into slobs and zombies. Our phony secularism has produced a
bumper crop of homegrown traitors. While Jihadi terrorists are
stabbing us in the throat, these traitors are stabbing us in the
back. Our moral codes, social ethos, culture and spiritual traditions
are either deconstructed or destroyed. Camouflaged under a number of
catch phrases like “Prolitarian revolution, labor unity, multi-
culturalism, religious pluralism, our enemies are pushing Bharat and
Hindu Dharma off the planet.

WHO POISONED THE SYSTEM The Congress party, Marxist anarchists and
the jihadis have made an unholy alliance against Hindus and they
compromise our national security, and strip India from the rock-bed
Hindu identity. Further jack hammering the foundations of our Hindu
identity has been coercive and deceptive conversion.

To destroy a country, Solzhenitsyn wrote, you must cut its roots.
India’s roots are in sanathan Dharma, in large measure been severed.
In books, plays and films Hindus are mocked for amusement of
secularists. In the name of modernity and progress social decadence
is promoted. India’s schools teach anti Hindutva. Our educational
curricula have been systematically chained of all Hindu contents;
they have lost all trace of Hindu character. Our educational system
is raising a nation of cowards. There is no means of teaching our
young about the glorious attributes of heroism and patriotism. Since
independence our country has produced a sizable number of spineless,
luxury-loving, spiritless characters. As we all know patriotism feeds
upon hero-worship and we have abolished heroes from our education.
Our traditional Vandemataram is replaced with Mary Had a Little Lamb,
Shivaji Maharaja and Jhansi Rani were replaced with Hansel and
Gretel. Even the fairy tales and nursery rhymes beloved by
generations of children were abandoned, and tinkered with. Sri Rama,
Sri Krishna, Bhima and Arjuna have been replaced by Mickey Mouse,
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Instead of studying heroic deeds of
Bhagat Singh and Vir Sarvarkar, our children are taught blasphemous
images of atheist Nehru and Boforous fame Italian catholic Sonia.
Our national nose has been first tweaked and then rubbed
contemptuously into the dirt.

The results are plain for all to see. Our youngsters are growing up
to become slobs. Thus, the expulsion of our Dharmic system from
education and a collapse in public morality has gone hand in hand
with the collapse of public morality. We are in deep denial that our
nation is in danger and many of us neither know nor care. It is our
own fault. We were busy embracing alien ideologies and we forgot that
the first duty of a nation is to secure its cultural, spiritual
institutions and value system. Our values that we have treasured
were allowed to fade away from our class room and the consciousness
of the public.

Our current secular education system forces people to escape from
reality, behave like zombies, and accept falsehood as reality. They
are persuaded that to be tolerance of intolerant dogmas and
intolerant brutes id a positive virtue. People are indoctrinated to
believe that India is a country of multiple culture and all religions
are the same.

What went wrong? What is the alternative? Do we want Marxist
anarchism, Maoist violence, Jihadi terrorism, coercive religious
conversion, constant decaying of our moral values to continue? If
the answer is NO, then we have to do something urgently. We want our
fellow Hindus informed and disciplined, alert and assertive. Our
country is in a strange sort of war against our Dharma. Throughout
our modern history a substantial number of our leaders sold out our
country. There are many things we did not learn from history. Much
of what ails India is due to our apathy, indifference and our
inaction. And his indifference and apathy has led to a moral
disarmament and political paralysis. If we are detached, someone’s
values are going to prevail, then why not ours? Why should the moral
codes of bogus secularism, Jihadism and Marxism prevail? Why should a
minority rather than the majority see its values dominant? If
tolerance is a necessary virtue in our democratic society, there must
be tolerance for the values of the majority.

Today, in India, it is popular among self-styled “intellectuals” to
sneer at patriotism, question our sacred values and insult our Hindu
nationalists with contempt. But in the present decadent atmosphere
Hindus often are too shy to talk about it-as if it were something
shameful or irrational weakness. Hindutva is not sentimental
nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues.

We cannot accuse our sacred philosophy of Hindutva of incapacity to
find a solution to our problems. We have to lift the fog surrounding
us. Let it be recognized that we Hindus have as much responsibility
to defend our sacred thought system, culture and our country with
insight and collective will.

The only option Hindus have then, is never cease struggling-until we
have re-created a government and India that conforms, as close as
possible to our image of the good society based on Hindu Dharma. Our
struggle will be endless and it will define us, test us, and likely
provide us rewards.

TAKING THE HIGH GROUND We cannot succeed or move forward by hiding
the facts. We have to move forward with pragmatism, realism and
strength. We have to wage a relentless battle for the hearts and
minds of Hindus.

We live in dreadful times. When dogmatism, bogus secularism and
fundamentalism are seeking and despising our all inclusive Hindutva,
we should not shirk the responsibility to carry with vigor and
vitality.

Hindus have to be strong, active, assertive, and fight for our
survival. Only lower level people who are so poor in spirit and
spineless secularists, and luxury loving political leaders are
refusing to fight or join battle. Their main problem is the bogus
secular frame of mind that considers it unsophisticated and narrow
minded to love our country, our sacred Dharma. They are very
skeptical of their own country, but very tolerant and open-minded of
Jihadis, Marxists and totalitarian dogmas. Their main hobby is to
renounce, insult and demean Hindutva.

Hindu leaders and laymen must develop basic skills for critical
thinking and techniques for perception management. The skills are
essential for separating facts from opinion; identify media
manipulation and psychological warfare against Hindus. The ability to
make the basic distinction between factual statements and statements
for mental misdirection and deception is required for all Hindus.

Hindu Dharm is the soul of our nation. It is the spiritual values
that bind us. It is the set of values, ideals pervading our
consciousness that has been with us for centuries. Whether we admit
it or not, and even if we claim we are not religious, we tend to
operate according to our vision, spiritual tradition and moral
values. This unifying Dharma is now under attack by phony
secularists, mindless Marxists, Maoist anarchists, Jihadis and
conversion gangs. They subscribe to alien dogmas. These dogmas are
contradictory not complementary. They are not mutually supportive but
destructive.

THE WAY OUT

All progress starts from an attitude and electing/selecting the right
people to represent us. Ultimately we get what we deserve. The power
of intention runs this creation. If the intention is strong and
focused enough we can create whatever we want.

We cannot also escape the responsibility of correcting contemporary
issues threatening our survival. Many of the issues of our times are
how to understand the plurality of causes that precipitate such
issues. Whether the particular issue is Jihadi terrorism, coercive
religious conversion, corruption, Love Jihad, our preferred
explanation tends to be internal that is speak no evil, see no evil,
and hear no evil.

The great escape of our times is escape from analyzing external
realities. The explanation is automatically assumed to be internal
and the solution is assumed to be “keep quiet”.

Our political leaders seldom look for any facts that might be against
the explanations that sets their meaningless philosophy. There can be
grave consequences on insisting “blame the victim” philosophy. This
allows individuals to escape personal responsibility. It is not the
non-judgmental ideology of the intellectuals but also the self-
interest of politicians that leads to so much down playing external
problems, and external explanations to “solve” the problem. Blaming
the victim policy is not likely to solve the country’s problems.

Hindus who intend to do very much for Hindustan have to accept the
fact that there will be times when we will not receive approval from
everyone. The need to get approval from our enemies will steal our
destiny.

Hindus around the world must now join together and work with fire,
the conviction and the clear vision. If we are united we can return
with strength to erase the corrosive influence of today’s fake
secularists. We can and we will one day return Hindustan and India to
its glorious roots of freedom and spiritual practice. Our work is
about Hindus that once were, and Hindus that could be again-if we
have the will to stand and fight against the enemy within and
without.

WHAT CAN ONE HINDU DO? Hindus must design new messages that must
bring about an attitude that must cause action. This requires that we
must sent persuasion (advocacy) messages that offer the best solution
(or the logical one) toward solving the problem addressed or
fulfilling target needs. Persuasive message can be designed to induce
perspective behavioral change or perform activities as a proud Hindu.

The aim is to provide an algorithm for implementing techniques for
multi-channel support from Hindus. Every Hindu must get into daily
habit of writing brief letters to elected representatives, state and
central ministers and newspaper editors on pressing issues like:

Declare a moratorium on Tax payer subsidy for Hajj

Central government must enact common civil law for all citizens

Each and every state must enact ant-conversion laws

Demand Hindu temple management should be handed over to Hindu
organizations

Elect only good Hindu candidates with proven track record

Show up during election time and vote for the right Hindu candidate

Visit local temples and support Hindu organizations

Participate in Hindu community activities and do voluntary service
for the community

India’s secular brigade has joined with our enemies to destroy our
nation and culture with their corrosive lies and deception
techniques. It is our duty to fight back for Dharma for our life and
for the lives of our next generation. Act now before it is too late.
