YOGA AND HINDUTVA

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED: F.A.Q. 29

Yoga and Hindutva

QUESTION: What is Hindutva and how does Yoga relate to it?

ANSWER: Hindutva is just another name for Hinduism. However, while the term Hinduism is often restricted to the religious beliefs and practices of India, Hindutva includes all aspects of Indian culture and civilisation.

More specifically, Hindutva represents the resistance movement against the cultural, religious and economic domination of India by Western powers.

To understand why such a resistance movement is necessary, it is important to understand what Hinduism is. Hinduism is the culture, religion and civilisation not only of India and Asia but of the whole World.

In the same way as fraudulent political parties come to power by telling lies about their opponents, modern religions have come to power by telling lies about earlier faiths. Thus most people outside India have been conditioned by the official propaganda of the ruling classes to think that Hinduism is some kind of strange and alien faith.

However, if we carefully examine the historical and archaeological evidence, we will see that all ancient religions, for example, the Pagan tradition of Europe, the religion of Ancient Egypt, Israel, Arabia, Africa, America and Australia were different forms of Hinduism.

Even modern Western religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are mere modifications of the Original World Faith which in the Indian tradition is known as Sanatana Dharma, the Supreme Eternal Law of the Universe.

In the same way as children are different from their parents yet at the same time are born of and share many characteristics with them, so also all religious traditions on Earth are born of and share many characteristics with the Original World Faith.

However, while some children show recognition and respect towards their parents, others distance themselves from them and in extreme cases even turn against them. Similarly, while the great religions of Asia such as Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism acknowledge their descent from the Original Faith (Dharma), Western religions have chosen not only to deny any links with their Parent Faith but have actively sought to destroy it.

The Original World Faith was systematically wiped out by the Establishment religions in Europe and large parts of Africa, Asia, America and the rest of the World. India is the only country on Earth where the Original Faith is still recognised and followed by millions of people.

While much of the World has fallen into the clutches of the expansionist and predatory Western Imperialist forces which seek to impose their political, religious and cultural supremacy on the human race, India has remained a glimmer of hope, an island of refuge and a beacon of light in the darkness of Westernism which has engulfed the World.

The Globalist Conspiracy

India is one of the World's most ancient, advanced and successful civilisations. Millennia ago, when Europe was largely dominated by nomadic tribes, India was already a flowering civilisation of great sophistication. Natural resources like gold, diamonds, pearls, ivory, timber, spices and cotton enabled Indian traders to exchange goods with far-away places from Egypt and Rome to China and Japan. Combined with the industriousness of her artisans and farmers and the wisdom of her military and religious leaders, this enabled India to achieve World fame as one of the wealthiest and most prosperous nations on Earth.

Unfortunately, India's unparalleled success gave rise to resentment, jealousy, envy and hatred in the leaders of foreign powers. This resulted in a long string of invasions, occupation and subjugation of her people by alien forces. The intention of these invading forces, from Persians and Greeks to Mongols, Arabs and Europeans, has always been to colonize and enslave the people of India.

However, while in the past such anti-Indian actions remained isolated, the rise of Globalism has generated a concerted effort by the World powers to bring India under their ruthless control. Mutually incompatible ideologies such as Capitalism, Communism, Christianity and Islam, have discovered a common enemy in the Spirituality of India.

Thus the leaders of Europe, America, the Arab World and China have conspired to form a Globalist Coalition the main goal of which is to dominate the World. Spiritual knowledge, reason, wisdom and common sense have been identified as the main obstacle that has to be eliminated in order for the Globalist Entity to accomplish its evil designs of World domination.

In this process, India which is the Bastion of Spiritual Knowledge and Wisdom on Earth has been targeted as the main enemy to be isolated and destroyed.

The Globalist Methods

The three main factors in the Globalist method of Conquest have been military occupation, economic domination and cultural colonization.

Direct military occupation is currently seen as controversial. It would be difficult for the Globalist Coalition which is operating under the pretence of "Freedom", "Democracy", "Racial Equality" and "Peace" to directly attack India. Nor is such direct action necessary. About half of the original territory of India, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Nepal and Tibet is already under the occupation of foreign powers which are given military support by Europe, America, the Arab World and China.

This encroachment of foreign powers on Indian territory is happening in more subtle ways such as the domination of large areas of North-East India by a coalition of Chinese-inspired Communist militants and Western-supported (US- and UK-backed) Christian fundamentalists.

Any potential resistance against such stealth invasion and occupation is prevented through economic and cultural domination. If the Indian people are even partly converted to the beliefs of Globalist Westernism, they will have no inclination to resist Westernist designs on India and even if they did wish to resist they would be in no position to do so as they will be economically completely dependent on the Globalist Coalition.

The Internal Enemy

The Globalist Entity would, of course, be incapable of realising its diabolic designs without the help of Westernist elements within India herself. We shall therefore identify the internal enemy and his methods of operation within India without which the Globalist Conspiracy would have no hold on the great Indian Nation.

The leaders of the Muslim, Christian and other Western-implanted minorities of India have always sought to destroy Indian religion and culture without much success. Their dream only began to come true thanks to the anti-Indian actions of the British Colonial forces which held India under their brutal occupation until the 1940s.

India had always been a tolerant society where inter-religious tension and conflict was virtually unknown previous to the Western colonization of India. Different faiths such as Yoga, Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism coexisted peacefully for many centuries.

All this changed, however, with the importation of Islam into India by Arab traders and armed invaders. When the British Colonialists took over from the Arabs, they proceeded to divide Indian society by religious denomination and play one religious group against the others in a classical example of divide-and-rule tactics.

Any Indian attempt to form an opposition to this Western domination was brutally repressed by the British occupiers. We only need to mention the anti-Indian massacres committed by the British during the 1857 Uprising. Other forms of anti-Indian repression were more subtle but equally devastating.

The pro-independence movement headed by Mahatma Gandhi and other pacifists was given undeserved precedence over more militant patriotic organisations in order to divide and confuse the Indian people. As a result, upon the British withdrawal from India in 1947, the left-wing Indian National Congress (Congress Party) which had long been collaborating with the anti-Hindu Muslim League, came to be the new dominant force in India.

To get an idea of the Congress Party's true intentions it will suffice to mention its support for the radical Islamic "Khilafat movement" which from 1919 was agitating for the recreation of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, one of India's most deadly enemies.

This leftist-Muslim Alliance engineered the division of India into Muslim-dominated Pakistan and secularist-dominated India; abolished the Monarchy and made India into a Communist-orientated republic; and finally opened the country to unrestricted influence and domination by the neo-colonialist forces of International Materialism and Globalism.

The dominating Congress Party is able to win influence and power with promises of progress, equality and prosperity. Such promises, however, really serve the purpose of concealing the politicians' true intention which is to use minority votes to reinforce their own otherwise weak position vis-a-vis the electorate.

Thus if the Congress Party cannot muster sufficient votes on its own, all it needs to do is to ally itself with the Muslims, Communists and other anti-Hindu minorities in order to keep the Hindu majority down and out of power.

Were the Congress party truly interested in the Unity of India, it would logically ally itself with the pro-Hindu parties and obtain an absolute majority as a legitimate representative of the Indian Nation the majority of which is Hindu.

This, however, would give too much power to the Hindu majority which is unthinkable for Congress purposes. As a result, India continues to be ruled by a coalition of minorities whose sole common interest is to keep the Hindu majority down and accelerate the decline of Indian culture and civilisation so that it can be finally replaced by Westernism.

Thus the final solution aimed at by the West and its Western-indoctrinated, left-wing Indian helpers, is the complete extermination of Indian culture and religion. As part of this strategy, Hindu temples have been placed under the direct control of the secular (atheist and anti-Hindu) Congress Government in a chilling reminder of Stalinist Russia where Christian churches were under the direct control of the atheist Communist Government, and Nazi Germany where Jewish temples were at the mercy of the anti-Jewish Government!

The temple revenue derived from temple-owned lands, donations by the faithful, etc., which was traditionally employed for maintenance and repair work, religious education, helping the poor and other welfare activities, is now going straight into the pockets of the Congress Government and its anti-Hindu leaders.

As a result, Hindu temples are rapidly decaying, the priests can no longer support themselves and their families, religious education is practically non-existent and the poor are turning to Congress and foreign "charities" for help which is given them on condition that they renounce their Hindu faith.

The Ayodhya Scandal

No analysis of the religious situation in India would be complete without an account of the infamous Ayodhya case.

The Ayodhya dispute which has become a cause celebre revolves around a Hindu temple in Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh, North India) built in commemoration of the birth of Lord Rama, a popular Hindu deity.

The temple was destroyed in 1528 during the anti-Hindu campaign carried out by Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and founder of the Mongol Empire in India, and its location has been illegally occupied by Muslim forces ever since.

Although officially authorised investigations by the Archaeological Survey of India found the evidence at the disputed site to be consistent with the "distinctive features of North Indian temples", the Congress-controlled, Globalist-inspired High Court has denied the Hindu community their right to rebuild their temple.

Apart from this blatant conspiracy against Indian religion and culture there are deeper aspects to the general problem. These become evident if we consider that although the reconstruction of the Rama Temple would constitute a clear victory for religious freedom, it can do little to stop the ongoing disintegration of Hindu religion as a whole.

Indeed, from the holistic and unitary perspective of Yoga, such developments merely encourage the spread of a plethora of local cults such as Ramaism and Krishnaism at the expense of the Universal Shiva Faith (Shiva Dharma) which honours Lord Shiva as the Supreme Deity and True Master of the Universe.

Thus even legitimate initiatives aiming to advance Indian religion and culture may inadvertently play into the hands of anti-Indian Congress Party and their Western masters with whom they have conspired to destroy the cultural and Spiritual heritage of India.

This Globalist Conspiracy becomes clear from the way in which the international media have chosen to ignore the Archaeological Survey of India's findings on Ayodhya and unanimously declared that no evidence was found!

Nor must we think of Ayodhya as an isolated case. This disturbing situation is being systematically replicated in the unchallenged destruction of thousands of ancient Hindu temples by organised criminal gangs who make a fortune from selling stolen statues of deities and other priceless religious artefacts to Western tourists and "art-collectors". We may observe that you will never hear of Hindus commissioning criminals to rob Western churches and cathedrals!

This demonstrates that, firstly, despite its technological advances, Western "Civilisation" is far more primitive and destructive than its Indian counterpart. Secondly, as no attempts whatever are made by the authorities to stop or prevent this scandalous traffic in stolen religious art, it demonstrates that such criminal activities represent an inherent part in the Western plan to destroy Indian religion and culture by any means.

This is further confirmed by the fact that monuments glorifying British and Islamic Colonialism in India are accorded the respect and reverence normally reserved for the most sacred religious shrines. We only need to take a look at the "Taj Mahal", that monstruous monument to Islamic arrogance built at the expense of starving Indian children, reminiscent of a giant octopus ready to spread its poisonous tentacles all over the sacred soil of India, which is being advertised by the Globalist forces worldwide as a "Wonder of the World" while Indian temples are denigrated as "places of idolatrous practices".

From a Yogic point of view, true architectural beauty may be found in such jewels of human endeavour as the magnificent temples at Khajuraho (Central India), the Potala Palace at Lhasa (Tibet) or the Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia. Their exquisite designs, graceful proportions and elegant harmony with the surrounding landscape qualify them as unsurpassed architectural achievements.

By contrast, unnatural and degenerate excrescences produced by the deranged mind of the likes of Shah Jahan (the builder of the Taj Mahal) are offensive to both Spiritual aesthetic and genuine religious feeling. In short, they are an insult to human civilisation and God. Their negative energy spreads for many miles around, polluting the World with its morbid emanations. In consequence, they should not be suffered on the face of the Earth for even a moment.

It may be objected at this point that irrespective of religious and cultural issues, Globalism is supposed to be good for people. Indeed, this is the official propaganda line. The reality, however, is quite the opposite.

For example, it is claimed in Globalist circles that the outsourcing of jobs to India by Western telecommunication companies, law firms, etc., represents much-needed progress for the Indian Nation.

On reflection, however, it is difficult to see how turning India into a nation of Western-employed telephonists and secretaries can possibly improve her position vis-a-vis the West. The shocking truth is that India continues to be an obedient servant to the West in many respects.

Indian farmers are being coaxed by Globalist activists into selling their cattle - traditionally employed for agricultural work - and buying Western-made tractors (or other agricultural machinery) instead. Before long, however, they discover that they have no means of buying expensive replacement parts, petrol, etc.

In no time at all, the tractors are rusting away in the fields and the farmers must either take further futile loans from the Government, the World Bank or similar agents of Globalism (disguised as "development agencies", "charities", etc.) or resign themselves to a miserable existence in one of the many growing slums outside big cities.

Similarly, while slavery has long been abolished in many parts of the World, millions of Indians are still slaving away on tea plantations in order to supply the West with its bourgeois beverage, instead of growing food for their own families.

Were the Western World serious about helping India or at least treating her as an equal trade partner, it would open its own markets to more Indian-made goods instead of barricading itself against everything from textiles to agricultural produce.

Thus sixty long years on, the Indian people remain enslaved by the very same colonialist powers from which they were supposed to have liberated themselves! At the same time their great culture and civilisation is being systematically eroded, dismantled and annihilated by the same Globalist forces.

Even if we were to leave aside all cultural, religious and economic implications of Globalism, we cannot ignore its disastrous effects on the environment, natural resources, water supplies, as well as plant, animal and human life throughout Asia and other parts of the World which must endure rising levels of suffering and deprivation to satisfy the ever-growing demands of the Western-dominated Globalist Entity.

What becomes evident is that, like many other nations on Earth, the Indian people have become a helpless victim struggling to break free from the Globalist spiderweb of intrigue, deception, corruption, and lies.

It is a great tragedy that otherwise decent people in the West allow themselves to be overcome by indifference and selfishness and fail to empathize with the fate of the Indian people who under cover of "Freedom", "Democracy", "Progress", "Globalism", etc., are systematically colonised, enslaved and robbed of their cultural identity by the forces of Westernism.

The rise of Hindutva

It is against the background of such depressing and deeply disturbing developments that the national resistance movement of India came into being.

It was heart-breaking enough for the gentle Indian people to see their beloved Motherland being invaded, trampled underfoot, taken over, robbed, divided, fragmented and mutilated by the evil colonialists. Having, on top of that, their mind and Soul systematically colonized, enslaved, contaminated, polluted and poisoned by a Western-imposed neo-colonialist culture of corruption, manipulation, delusion and deceit proved too much even for the goodhearted Indian people to bear.

Among the first movements of resistance against British occupation was the 40-year Sannyasi Uprising of 1761-1800, which was primarily a farmers’ revolt led by the Naga Dashanamis of the Ascetic Orders of Yogis.

The defeat of the Sannyasi Uprising was a major setback for the Indian Cause. However, another Uprising took place in 1857 and, in 1915, the Great Hindu Council (Hindu Mahasabha) was founded as an instrument of opposition to Western domination. A number of other pro-Hindu organisations soon appeared on the political scene. Their common goal was to put an end to the deliberate attempt by Westernist forces to discredit, demonise, undermine and destroy Indian religion and culture.

Thanks to the Hindutva movement, after centuries of subjugation and oppression, Indians were able for the first time to claim their right to express and advance their own view of state and society which - as citizens of India - had always been theirs by birth but had been denied by the inhuman colonial powers.

Apart from campaigning for the right of the Indian people to their own cultural and Spiritual identity, and working for true democracy, freedom and equality, the Hindutva movement is also a campaign of clarification, illumination and information aiming to expose the parasitic and malign nature of the Westernist powers and their allies.

Through the Hindutva movement the Indian people are asserting their moral and legal right to promote the time-honoured Spiritual Principles and Values of India as a legitimate alternative to the materialist agenda of Western-imposed "democracy".

As the eminent historian Dr. Arnold J Toynbee observed, "the only way of Salvation is the ancient Hindu way".

India needs Hinduism and its Hindutva movement to complete the necessary transition from a shameful and humiliating past of colonial subjugation to a proud future of freedom and self-determination.

As for the World, it needs the Spirituality of India as a counterweight to the World-dominating Western forces of Capitalism, Communism, Christianity and Islam. Indeed, without the timeless Spirituality of India Mankind will remain incomplete, less balanced and less human.

Yoga is intimately linked to Hinduism in many ways, not least because it has been subjected to the same process of colonization, subjugation and comercialisation by the materialist and anti-Spiritual forces of the Globalist Entity, as Hinduism has.

While Hinduism represents the outer and more visible layer of Indian Spirituality, Yoga is the innermost core of the same timeless tradition. Together they constitute the purest form of Sanatana Dharma, the Supreme Eternal Law of the Universe which the human race must embrace not only to fulfil its higher destiny but to survive into the next century and beyond.
