Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India July 1925

1925

The history of the world abounds in instances where the true spirit of the lives and messages of the great teachers in course of time has been lost sight of and even degraded and put to other uses which would have simply shocked the founders. [...] The idea of self-surrender which all the Bhakti cults emphasise deserves to be brought into prominence especially at the present day as the world is converted into a veritable hell by the demon of the worship of the body and of the things of the body producing horrible selfishness fierce compettion merciless exploitation of the weak and a fiendish hatred of one another. [...] Looking to the nature of the forces working in Asia hoever we find that the probability is that the contact of these two halves of the mind of humanity will get up a more powerful connection between the two poles of our being and result in a full synthesis of the highest ideals of each subjective and objective freedom and equality. [...] The propagation of the Vedic religion (which to the Arya Samajist means following the 'Dayananda Smriti:' or 'Satyartha Prakash') and the Shuddhi or the conversion into Hinduism are the main functions of the preachers who are generally paid and whose duty is to preach and to officiate at the ceremonials. [...] The news of this assault on the Kumar was soon spread on the wings of the wind in a much exaggerated form and the whole of the Rajbati was in a great commotion.
