SERVE BHARATHAM BETTER WAY:-3. THE UPANSHAD CULTURE IS THE CULTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. THE TRAINING GIVEN TO THE CITIZENS OF BHARAT TO LIVE THIS SANATANA DHARMA IS CALLED HINDUISM. METHODS OF TRAINING SHOULD ALWAYS DEPEND UPON THE TYPE OF TRAINEES ENTERTAINED, THE AVAILABLE INSTITUTION IN WHICH THEY HAVE TO BE HOUSED AND TRAINED, AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE TRAINEE WILL ULTIMATELY BE CALLED UPON TO ACT. THE OLD ECONOMIC STRUCTURES OF THE SOCIETY BUILT UPON THE LAND AND CATTLE WEALTH, HELD IN THE PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM, THE JOINT FAMILY HOLDINGS, THE PAROCHIAL LOYALTIES, THE QUIET LIFE CONTENTMENT AND MUTUAL LOVE, HAVE BEEN NOW REPLACED BY THE NEW ECONOMY OF MONEY AND SHARES, OF THE WELFARE STATE IDEOLOGY, OF BUSY LIFE, DISCONTENTMENT AND MUTUAL COMPETITION. THE OLD RELIGION AS A TECHNIQUE OF TRAINING THE PEOPLE TO LIVE THE RIGHT LIFE CAN NO MORE HOLD GOOD IN OUR PRESENT TIMES.

SERVE BHARATHAM BETTER WAY:-2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ A TRADITIONAL RELIGION OF THE PAST THUS BECOMES, IF NOT UNFIT TOTALLY, AT LEAST INEFFECTUAL, IN CONTROLLING, GUIDING AND DIRECTING THE ENERGIES AND ENTHUSIASM OF A LATER GENERATION. AT ALL SUCH MOMENTS A REINTERPRETATION OF THE TIMELESS, IMMORTAL VALUES BECOMES ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. COINS IN CIRCULATION WILL HAVE TO BE NOW AND THEN WITHDRAWN BY THE MINT AND REPLACED BY THE FRESH ONES OF THE SAME DENOMINATION AND NATION'S STAMP. CULTURAL IDEAS IN CIRCULATION IS RELIGION, AND FROM TIME TO TIME A RELIGION NEEDS , MUST CHANGE. THEY MUST PUT ON FRESH ROBES AND REAPPEAR ON THE STAGE OF LIFE TO SERVE MANKIND. BUT THE VALUES THEY PREACH ARE ALWAYS THE SAME, BE THEY THROUGH TEXT BOOKS WRITTEN IN HEBREW, ARABIC, SANSKRIT. THESE NEW ARRIVALS WERE NOT DESTRUCTIVE REVOLUTIONS, BUT THEY WERE ONLY CONSTRUCTIVE REVIVALS.

SERVE BHARATHAM BETTER WAY:-1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ WEAR AND TEAR IS NATURAL FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS CONSTANTLY IN USE. EVEN MOUNTAINS MUST ERODE AND CRUMBLE TO THE LEVEL OF EARTH AS THE FLEETING STEPS OF TIME MARCH DOWN ITS SLOPES. NOT ONLY GROSS SUBSTANCES IN THE OUTER WORLD SUFFER THUS FROM CHANGE BUT EVEN OUR INNER EMOTIONS MUST SLOWLY DECAY. THE LAW OF DIMINISHING UTILITY IN ECONOMICS AMPLY EXPLAINS THIS PHENOMENON OF EROSION EVEN IN OUR MENTAL LIFE AND THIS IS NOT ALL. EVEN THE IDEAS AND IDEALS HAVE A KNACK OF FADING THEMSELVES AWAY AS THEY WADE THROUGH THE DUSTY STORMS AND TUSSLES OF HISTORY. WHAT WAS CONCEIVED AS A GLORIOUS TRADITION , AN UN QUESTIONABLE FAITH, A PERFECT IDEAL, AN INCONTROVERTIBLE THEORY, A SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION OR A LOGICAL FACT, IN THE PAST GETS ITSELF SLOWLY SPOILT TO BE A BUNDLE OF SUPERSTITIONS, A MEANINGLESS SHOW, A DRY EXHIBITION, A PURPOSELESS BELIEF...

OUR CULTURAL REVIVAL:-3. --------------------------------------------------------------/ Therefore, to invoke the virtue of our culture would be to bring the salient features of Hinduism and inexhaustible beauties of our culture to the understanding of our generation. We are not proposing to do anything new, but, we have to consider the modern problems and conditions of living, and bring about the necessary changes in our technique of spreading the knowledge of our national culture among ourselves. This is urgently needed even for our secular security and material prosperity. A shattered nation of wild groups, each trying to step over the other, is not an arrangement from which we can hope to get any team work or cooperative endeavour in our nation building activities. The only factor that can bring us all together --that can hold the south and north in the embrace, that can bring everyone in the nation--is our respect for reverence to our distinct national culture...

OUR CULTURAL REVIVAL:- 2. ------------------------------------------------------------/ Renaissance of a culture can be brought about only when the people get inspired by the values of life recommended by it. After a long history of cultural servitude and political slavery we have just come into a freedom wherein, in spite of ourselves and our non Aryan nature, we find ourselves merely labelled as Hindus. The intelligentsia in the country has learnt to ignore their culture and their religion as something redundant and unnecessary. The middle class people though sincere, are today living their religion by proxy, or they consider their culture as a sheer superstition. And the rest, of them, who constitute the so called faithful followers, strictly obey and live only the non essential external isms of the religion, without appreciating its deeper significances and the implications of its philosophy.

OUR CULTURAL REVIVAL:-1. --------------------------------------------------------/ Our cultural revival plan must have necessarily a minimum three schemes; Scheme to revive :-1.The Manhood, 2.The Womanhood, 3.The Childhood. Men and women are taken up for the re-education and rehabilitation together and separately . The children are being trained all over the country, by our Education department Children of today are to be inheritors of tomorrow and the future world is to be guided on proper lines by the growing children of today. Unless we train them up properly to take up the great responsibility they too shall fail as our fathers and mothers had failed and many of are failing today. This sort of National rebuilding programme may sound today as a far off cry but when the world emerges out of its own day's wilderness it shall, in the saner eras that are yet to come, learn to see the necessity of adopting these intelligent methods.

Harmony:- The Rishies of the Upanishads have been courtiers of this harmony. They investigated into it, observed its play and systematised their knowledge in it into a subjective science, complete with its theoretical explanations and practical methods. Nature is not to the eastern thinkers an unwilling and alien arrangement of things. On the other hand to them it is but the expression of the very same harmony that exists everywhere, which is at once the very core and the substance of the entire universe. Everything exists in it and every one must seek his/her fulfillment in it.

BE AGGRESSIVELY GOOD. STRIVE HARD AND DEVELOP GOOD TRAITS AND COME TO LIVE AND EXPRESS IT IS IN THE WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE TO A DETERMINED , SINCERE AND INDUSTRIOUS PERSON OF RIGHT JUDGEMENT. SPARE NOT YOURSELF UNTIL YOU CLIMB TO THE PEAK. LEAVE THE VALLEYS FOR OTHERS -THE LESSER ONES-WHO ARE SATISFIED BY THE THRILL OF THEIR CROWDED STINK AND MUTUAL CONFLICTS. WE ARE NOT SATISFIED EXCEPT BY THE SUN-LIT PEAK OF SPIRITUAL PERFECTION-THEREIN AWAITS FOR YOU THE REALIZATION OF TRUE HINDUISM.
