Sri ADVANIJEE's Letter:
Namaskar to all Indian Voters,
The modern age is witnessing tremendous change everywhere including in the domain of knowledge. But unless the knowledge flowers into wisdom, happiness will remain more as a dream than a reality. It is only spiritual wisdom that can convert sorrows and sufferings into joys and delights. Moral and spiritual empowerment is as important as social and economic empowerment, which is must for political empowerment in our country.
Today, many religious organizations are involved in character building of their faith’s disciples and devotees, through spiritual teachings, which makes people humane and sensitive, there by enriching our culture with moral and spiritual values. In other words, Masters and organizations are working towards building a healthy and spiritual society in our country.
I saw the news report on "letter to faith leaders" from Prime Ministerial candidate for the fifteenth Lok Sabha seeking blessings for the victory of Bhartiya Janata Party in the fifteenth Lok Sabha elections.
As, a member of Inter faith organisation, I too got a copy of the letter.
This letter was first of its kind and I found it very interesting.
One point which attracted me in the letter of Advanijee is to seek solutions to National problems by communicating with religious leaders.
I believe that religious leaders are guiding lights to spiritual wisdom, a final step after Vyaktigat, Parivarik, Samajik, Dharmik to Adhyatmik transformations in one’s life. Giving advices and being part of the Government from time to time will certainly foster a very strong bond between the government and the religious bodies. Even, United Nation has admitted that it lacked spiritual powers to seek solutions to Inter National issues.
Few other points which I liked are:
Provision of facilities and developmental bodies similar to Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine Board, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthan Board, in all major religious institutions for proper administration of all religious places and pilgrimage centers, is a very good move as we have seen recently lot of deaths due to stampedes in temples during main functions and ceremonies.
All foreign charity funds donations will be monitored by the government norms which will be made available for the purpose it is received. We can expect no religious conversions of BPL families in future by using these funds.
Religious organizations faces lot of difficulties while getting their IT exemptions renewed. Creation of a special cell to monitor and early issue of all exemptions is a welcome step.
Value based education is an immediate need for our children and youth in the country. It is a very good move which if implemented will bring in sea changes in the social order.
Promotion of Spiritual tourism of all our religious places will spread true spiritual messages in days to come.
Every Dharam Guru, works for unity of mind and unity of hearts through religious teachings which unites the families and societies to develops oneness. We all go to temples, Gurus and make our mannats. Here is a leader who has made his first attempt sincerely to approach religious leaders and has made his promises. Which, as a true GOD fearing Indian, he has to fulfill his promises, when he gets elected as Prime Minister.
Today we all stand at a crucial juncture. All of us need to join hands in the cause of strengthening the forces of our Nation. We also should resolve today to unite our people and move forward in order to establish a strong leader and strong government in our country. we must remember the sanskrit proverb "Yatha raja - thatha praja" to make our praja strong we must have raja strong".
It is a very good beginning made by Sri Adavnijee by writing to all religious leaders and Institutions of all faiths.
I am sanguine that in days to come, through the new spiritual culture of 'Oneness' in India a new era would dawn in the world culture to make India stand on the pedestal of Vishva Guru.
Some Points for kind consideration of Sri Advanijee,
1. Party must seek consensus from all faiths and political parties to form a Ministry for Spiritual Affairs in Government of India to transform the religions into a spiritual force for arousing patriotism in our people towards our mother nation and to create a society of enlightened citizens. This Ministry will resolve all issues concerned with the religions, religious institutions and religious leaders.
2. Work to strengthen, encourage and to carry the message of love, peace, brotherhood and prosperity with safety across the length and breadth of our nation. Whatever may the present day pitfalls, our country still has the capacity to overcome the deficiency and march ahead to enrich itself with peace and prosperity with total religious harmony. We must all remember that, our nation has a divine light of guiding holy power behind us, hence we will be able to appreciate the common values that bind us together as one human family – Vasudeva Kutumbakam.
3. We must make India emerge as a powerful and prosperous nation first, as a true Ram Rajya with Praja Samridhi where love, peace and brotherhood will spread without boundary. This in turn brings unity in social life which fosters unity of our country and also gives peace and security to all our people. Ultimately this will pave the way for socio-economic development and make India strong and powerful nation. This unity will bind us together and will cement the bond of our national spirit to help us flourish and prosper in every walk of our life.
4. A National Spiritual Research and Learning Center must be opened to stream line the teachings of all the faiths to create a Indian faith of 'Oneness' and also to spread our ancient spiritual knowledge and promote Indian Spiritual values.
5. We must have India Inter Faith Coalition, comprising of religious leaders from all faiths and representatives from NGO's, those who are working in Inter faith organisations in India to effectively participate and in resolving the issues that are of National importance.
6. Rename the National Integration Cell under Ministry of Home Affairs, as National Spiritual Integration Cell(NSIC) till such time the separate Ministry is formed by the government and give more powers to the Cell. Assign all the promised agenda's in the letter to the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs and bring this Ministry under PMO for effective control of all religious matters. If we can have Minority Cell for Minority development, why not Spiritual cell, for spiritual development ?
Once in Hanuman Ghat, in Varanasi,two girls were in a drowning condition in river Ganaga. Two young men rished immediately in to the Ganga and saved the girls. One man asked the girl to marry him. The other said, "I have done my duty. God gave me an opportunity to serve and omprove myself." He had purity of his mind and had purest of wisdom. The external action is the same - the act of saving the life - but the motive is different in two persons.
Before we elect our representative and the leader we must try to peep in the motive of every candidate and the party.
I conclude with sanskrit words:
"Sukhasya mulam artham, arthasya mulam dharmam, dhramsya moolam desham"
Rastra Prathamam - Prathmam vande Bharatam
With Namaskar
