Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Way of Life by Samartha Ramdas
    Way of life by Samartha Ramdas In Maharashtra, the period between 12 th and 17 th century was the era of the famous saints, like Dnyaneshwar, Tukaram, Eknath, Namdeo, Samartha Ramdas, and, Meerabi, Kabir etc. in North India. These saints showed common people easy path to reach God, which is called Bhaktiyog. That path was Namasmaran, which ultimately merges into transcendental meditation! The continuous ‘Namasmaran’ leads you to the state of pure consciousness. The ‘Nama’ melts into your soul gradually and your mind becomes thoughtless. The regular practice of ‘Namasmaran’ prepares your mind to overcome the difficult situations, in your life and gives you courage and peace of mind. Actually, peace of mind is the true aim of our life. Isn’t it! That is according to Ramdas, ‘Moksha’ – salvation from worldly pains. For the attainment of this kind of salvation, you need not get rid of your five senses; because the body and the mind go hand in hand. You are very well supposed to fulfill the wishes of your five senses i.e. to see, listen, smell, test, and touch. You need not lead a life of an ascetic Samartha Ramdas (1608-1682) has written approximately 40,000 verses, a verse of four lines each, in different books. Karunshtake Ramdas left home when he was only twelve years old. Although he had strong control over his emotions, it was not easy to lead lonesome and hard life, during his self-training period. In that restless state of mind, Ramdas wrote Karunashtake. These are the prayers full of pathos or “Karuna rasa”.

  • Iasbaba's 60 Days Plan – Day 48 (History)
    IASbaba’s 60 Days Plan – Day 48 (History) 2018 Q.1) Consider the following pairs about Sufi philosophy. Philosophy Meaning 1. Waḥdat al-wujūd Unity of Existence 2. Waḥdat ash-shuhūd Unity of appearance 3. Al-Wujūd Al-Munbasiṭ Self-unfolding Being Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched? a) 1 only b) 1 and 2 only c) 1, 2 and 3 d) 3 only Q.1) Solution (c) Major ideas in Sufi metaphysics have surrounded the concept of weḥdah meaning "unity", or in Arabic tawhid. Two main Sufi philosophies prevail on this topic. waḥdat al-wujūd literally means the "Unity of Existence" or "Unity of Being" but better translation would be Monotheism of Existence. Wujud (i.e. existence) here refers to Allah's Wujud - implication is Wahdat/Tawheed Of Wujud Of Allah. On the other hand, waḥdat ash-shuhūd, meaning "Apparentism" or "Monotheism of Witness", holds that God and his creation are entirely separate. Al-Wujūd Al-Munbasiṭ (Self-unfolding Being) Shah Waliullah Dehlawi tried to reconcile the two (apparently) contradictory doctrines of waḥdat al-wujūd (unity of being) of Ibn Arabi and waḥdat ash-shuhūd (unity in conscience) of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. Shah Waliullah neatly resolved the conflict, calling these differences 'verbal controversies' which have come about because of ambiguous language. If we leave, he says, all the metaphors and similes used for the expression of ideas aside, the apparently opposite views of the two metaphysicians will agree. Do you know? While orthodox Muslims emphasise external conduct, the Sufis lay stress on inner purity. While the orthodox believe in blind observance of rituals, the Sufis consider love and devotion as the only means of attaining salvation.

  • Form and Work of the Sectarian Monasteries in Pandharpur
    Journal of Arts and Culture ISSN: 0976–9862 & E-ISSN: 0976–9870, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2012, pp.-97-101 Available online at http://www.bioinfo.in/contents.php?id=53 FORM AND WORK OF THE SECTARIAN MONASTERIES IN PANDHARPUR VIKAS KADAM Department of History, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil Mahavidyalaya, Pandharpur, Dist Solapur. M.S. India. *Corresponding Author: Email- [email protected] Received: January 09, 2012; Accepted: February 02, 2012 Abstract- It can be said without exaggeration that Pandharpur is a town of monasteries and temples. A majority of these religious centres belong to the Bhaagawat sect. The temple dedicated to Lord Vitthal is at the heart of the town and it is surrounded by a number of monaster- ies, boarding places, sectarian houses and asylums. These are the places mainly utilized for conducting various activities aimed at the propa- gation of the Bhaagawat sect. According to one of the inscriptions found around the temple of Lord Vitthal in Pandharpur, there is a word used ‘laanmadu’, meaning a mon- astery or temple. This structure was renovated in the 10th century AD. Maharashtra was then under the reign of Ramdevrai Yadav. The word monastery is also found in the literature of the Mahaanubhav sect. It means the concept of the monastery existed well before the times of Saint Dnyandev and Namdev. However, it is a fact that these monasteries underwent development after the 17th century.

  • Sai Satcharitra – Chapter 4
    Sai Satcharitra – Chapter 4 Mission of the Saints - Shirdi a Holy Tirth - Personality of Sai Baba - Dictum of Goulibuva - Appearance of Vithal - Kshirsagar’s Story - Das Ganu’s Bath in Prayag - Immaculate Conception of Sai Baba and His First Advent in Shirdi - Three Wadas. In the last chapter, I described the circumstances, which led me to write Sai-Sat-Charita. Let me now describe the first advent of Sai Baba in Shirdi. Mission of the Saints Lord Krishna says in Bhagvadgita (Chapter IV, 7-8) that "Whenever there is a decay of Dharma (righteousness) and an ascendancy of unrighteousness, I manifest Myself; and for the protection of the virtuous, the destruction of the vicious and for the establishment of righteousness, I manifest Myself in age after age". This is the mission of Lord, and the Sages and Saints, Who are His representatives and who appear here at proper times, help in their own way to fulfil that mission. For instance, when the twice born, i.e. the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas neglect their duties and when the Shudras try to usurp the rights of the higher classes, when spiritual preceptors are not respected but humiliated, when nobody cares for religious instructions, when every body thinks himself very learned, when people begin to partake of forbidden foods and intoxicating drinks, when under the cloak of religion, people indulge in malpractices, when people belonging to different sects fight amongst themselves, when Brahmins fail to do Sandhya adoration, and the orthodox their religious practices, when Yogis neglect their meditation, when people begin to think that wealth, progeny, wife are their sole concern, and thus turn away from the true path of salvation, then do Saints appear and try to set matters right by their words and action.
