Misc & "Social Engneering" topics

First let us see why the West rose to the top. Then we will be able to understand how we can also rise and become powerful.


Here is what Swami Sivananda has to say on the British:

"And, the Military Schools train the boys to be <b>punctual, to be truthful, to be honest</b> and to develop the spirit of service. The British have these qualities in abundance."

"The majority of Englishmen possess such noble qualities. They know the value of time. They know the value of the Word—<b>they stick to their promise.</b> They work sincerely. They would not evade."


So The British were morally upright, honest, had faith in God and were chivalrous.
(This is no longer true anymore)

It is the chivalry of the British officers which enabled them to conquer the world.

Now note that these are same qualities that the Vedic Rishis wanted us to cultivate. Observe the heroism of Bhishma, Arjuna, Bhima, Karna, Yuddhishthira.


Where are the Gurkulas today to train Hindu boys the virtues of chivalry, honesty and faith in Isvara?

This is the cause of our downfall.

Swami Vivekananda's dream was to revive India along these lines.
