Calling Sangh organizations to account: When Cults replaced Ideals - I

Radha Rajan

01 Nov 2011





Two recent events provoke critical scrutiny of Hindu organizations and what is perceived as Nagpur’s inability or unwillingness to deal with the rise of cult-figure individuals within the RSS parivar, or closely associated with it, and the corresponding diminishing of idealism and the end of peoples’ movements –



1) A day-long seminar organized by Hindu Dharma Rakshana Samiti in Chennai on the Communal Violence Bill; and



2) Internet news that a certain foul-mouthed American PIO will be touring India in November to promote his second book





The driving force behind both events is Personality Cult 1and his sycophants, supported and legitimised by the Chennai RSS, which, because of Cult 1, has since 2004 been functioning like an independent NGO, conducting its affairs as if on par with Nagpur, if not cut off from it. This gentleman is charged with spawning several Chennai-based organizations with the sole intent to wield control over all intellectual activity within the RSS parivar in Tamil Nadu and set himself up as an alternate power centre.



[color="#FF0000"]In the guise of promoting the book authored by the American PIO, Cult 1 has actually played facilitator to legitimise the Harvard Jesuit Francis Clooney who, as the Vatican’s agent for penetration into high Hindu dharmic institutions, is active in Tamil Nadu, especially Chennai. This American PIO author or Cult 3 has sought and received endorsement for his book from Clooney[/color], something from which Cult 1 and his power-house the Chennai RSS are going to find very difficult to wriggle away.





Cult 1, because of his penchant to create new organizations, is charged with being responsible for weakening the VHP and splitting the Tamil Nadu VHP vertically into two. The VHP, for its part, instead of going on the warpath and confronting the gentleman, chose the easier but less noble path and created for its part Cult 2, a gentleman ‘outside the Sangh’. Thus, the VHP allowed itself, without protest, to be diminished by Cult 1.



[color="#0000FF"]The VHP Cult is emerging as some kind of Messiah, enthusiastically promoted by a section of American PIOs who think that because of his activism in Indian courts, Cult 2 is the answer to all problems.[/color] The total dependence of the International President of the VHP on Cult 2 indicates that the VHP is no longer a combative societal grassroots outfit and is content to outsource its agenda to individuals and to allow courts to decide the Hindu fate. The very designations International President and International Secretary-General indicate that the VHP has moved away from its initial inward looking objective.





The rise of Cult 2 within the VHP has caused the VHP to neglect its self-identity as being the driving force behind Hindu mass movements; there has been no Hindu mass movement for over a decade after the Ramjanmabhumi movement fizzled out when the NDA came to power in Delhi. Muslims use state power to move speedily towards their politico-religious objectives, while Hindus use state power (or any other power) to grandstand to the world their commitment to secularism.





Now the VHP has no demonstrable street or societal power only because it has come to rely upon individuals instead of strengthening the organization, and because the VHP has conceded to the courts and to the Muslim community the right to decide not only the size of the Sri Ram temple, but also the question of ownership of the janmabhumi, instead of seizing the initiative and moving resolutely towards building a grand temple as promised.





The writer suspects that Cult 3, who is closely networked with Cults 1, 2 and the Convener of HDAS, is closely involved with Hindus embarking on the dangerous mission called inter-religious dialogue and participating in international multi-religious conferences.



Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati is the common thread connecting all three cults, and the HDAS was created to serve as an international platform for the towering ambitions of Cults 1 and 3 to play at international politics of religion.





Cult 1 and HDAS are charged with promoting this obnoxious PIO author, Cult 3, in RSS circles, in the HDAS, and other organizations created by Cult 1. Notwithstanding the fact that there is well-concealed turf war among them, there is also convergence of interest among the three Cults to silence those not amenable to their control or those unwilling to be cast in the role of adoring acolytes (read slave labour). Swami Dayananda Saraswati is to Cults 1, 3 and American NGOs like HAF what Anna Hazare is to Kejriwal and the Bhushan duo.



The time has come to call all of them to account.



They control among them – the VHP, Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha, Dharma Rakshana Samiti and subsidiaries, (defunct) Thinkers’ Meet, Global Foundation for Civilizational Harmony, Vivekananda International Forum, and the now defunct Vigil Public Opinion Forum. Cults 1 and 2, the VHP, HDAS, DRS, and other organizations, with all the resources available to them, with all the power they have arrogated to themselves, in spite of occupying all the intellectual and organizational space that ordinary Hindus think is Hindu in character, must now be asked to explain -



[...]

Again: Who or what are Cults 1, 2 and 3.



- I'm guessing the American PIO about to release his second book is the billionaire Rajiv Malhotra (?)

- And "his activism in Indian courts" refers to whom? Whose activism? (E.g. Subramaniam Swamy is active in the courts, but it seems unlikely he'd be the one referred to here and didn't know RR didn't approve of him.)



HDAS is already named separately and its head (Swami Dayananda Saraswati) is named as connecting the 3 Cults. Therefore, HDAS is not any of cults 1 to 3.

Is one of the cults the Nithyananda movement then - Life Bliss something? If so, which of the 3 numbered cults is it then? And which ones are the other two?



I'm so obviously too stupid to understand a cryptic game of 3+ variables. Okay, the PIO author - presumably his entourage - is equated with cult 3. That still doesn't resolve the other 2 variables....





But darn-it. What is RM (is he the one alluded to?) doing with Clooney, that inculturating terrorist Jesuit from Harvard. Search IF for his name. E.g.

Some questions:

What does one know about Francis Xavier Clooney (who will now move to the

Harvard Divinity School from Boston College, heading a special chair)

www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/ReligionTheology/ComparativeReligion/?view=usa&ci=0195170377

Divine Mother, Blessed Mother , Hindu Goddesses and the Virgin Mary



He's supposedly issued a press note which was reported in The Hindu of August 2 repeating a startling claim, with a potential to disturb the peace in the nation, that five Vaishnava mandirams were originally churches.

Any details on this?

The five temples being demanded by Jesuits for Church are in Srirangam, Kulithalai, Chidambaram, Aaduthurai, and Aavoor.
