<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Thank you Kishoreji. The cause (Sanaathana Dharma) is greater than individuals. It is this cause that produces those heros (Dharma Rakshakas) who defend it. That which produces such heros sustains them too (DharmO Rakshathi Rakshitha
.Â
Individuals are thus tools only even it be Lord Krishna. Greater they are we consider them Gods. The greatest of them identifies Himself with the cause (Pundareekaakshan in the words of Bheeshma). He is considered the Father of existence (Bhoothaanaam yovya ya: pithaa).
(In Vishnu Sahasranamam, Bhishma tutors Yudhishtira on Dharma as follows:
Yad bhadhyaa pundareekaaksham sthavairassEn naras sadhaa
paramam yO mahath thEja: paramam yO mahath thapaha:
paramam yO mahath brahma: paramam ya: paraayaNam
pavithraaNaam pavithram yO mangalaanaam cha mangalam
daivatham dhEvathaanaam cha bhoothaanaam yO: avyaya; pithaa.)
If we engage ourselves in evaluating roles of individuals we risk diminishing the importance of the very cause that we try to defend. This cause is our very personality, our psyche, our existence - thus the cause is nothing but us the most auspicious ones (which is you and me and everyone else).

Dear Savithri,

A person is considered still further advanced when he regards honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral, mediators, the envious, friends and enemies, the pious and the sinners all with an equal mind.

Sanaathana Dharma is the only way to move forward.Indulging in dry intellect speculation one is needlessly drawn into conflicts and stress with individuals.
Knowledge without devotion is equalent to decorating a dead body
When we consider the true essence of our culture we find that it is not being passive but upholding the bigger picture in life and let go the face value quest.
When we take pride of who we are, and devote our purpose in the betterment of the society.
All these discussions without devotion and actions lead to the same path of the rakshasas .In the mode of ego messaging, winning arguments we lose the very purpose to what we stand......
When it comes to action..... all these tall talkers disappear as they are not minds of action but just thrive on speculation with no commitment and have nothing at Stake as well.
With kindest regards,
