Sairam. Suprabhat. 🙏😌🌺
Mon Feb 3, 2020


Open the newspaper. Read the headlines. Watch the blaring channels. Finger your handset n take a plunge in Social media. And conclude with clarity that what's on in India now is - Professionally managed psychological warfare. To trigger a civil war. Thru negative propaganda stretched to its limit. To wreck the nation. Thukde thukde has now become an accepted vocabulary used as a pointer to a cult.

In such war like situations, can a nation drawn upon its spiritual resources. Will it help.
I dug deep into history.
Vietnam seemed the longest war a divided nation suffered. From around 1950s till US bungled and gave up around 1973. History recorded death of 2 mn civilians, 1.1 mn soldiers and 58000 US servicemen.

But in the midst of that strife also there came up a spiritual personality to lead n show the way to Peace. An acclaimed Zen Master. Thich Nhat Hanh. The buddhist monk who introduced mindfulness. (The subject which many in India monetise thru workshops on weekends creating a mini industry.) Thich Nhat Hanh invoked Buddhism to save the country. Played an active role promoting peace during the years of war in Vietnam. Supported war victims.
So much so, Martin Luther King Jr. from US, a participant country in the war, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967.
His Mindfulness became a spiritual mantra for the world like Satyagraha of Gandhiji.

In lectures delivered across many  US cities, he compellingly described the war’s devastation, spoke of the Vietnamese people’s wish for peace and appealed to the U.S. to cease its air offensive against Vietnam.

But.... because of his peace work and refusal to choose sides in his country’s civil war, both the communist and non communist governments banned him, forcing Thich Nhat Hanh to live in exile for over 40 years. (He later went to France and set up the Plum village drawing people from world over till today. I recently joined this Plum village Zen Masters ring of followers.)

Such is the nature of the world. Not new. So, when Modi is despised by the very own people for whose welfare he works tirelessly , don't be surprised. When they join hands with enemies as victims of a well orchestrated psychological warfare thru false propaganda, don't give up.

Yes. Now in India, it's a warlike situation. Much more resources in the hands of enemy than the Vietnam years.

Even before the budget was out yesterday, they lined up their verbiage of attacks calling it names. Pre-designed. Won't be surprised if the sensex's tanking was also part of the same game.

This warfare here is more virulent.
When there is a barrage of firing at us by enemies, to escape, we need to be lucky with every bullet that's whizzing past. But, to succeed, the assailant needs to be lucky with any one bullet only to fell us. That loads the odds unfairly against us, big time. And that's the kind of battle the government at the centre is fighting now. To protect us.
The viscious negative Propaganda is all poweful. Can even show AAP as a great saviour of Delhi. And  Prashat kishore as next Bhaskaracharya.

Modi can't win the battle alone shedding his blood in this invisible war, while we all merrily do e-workouts in Social media gyms. He needs huge support services.

History has shown that invoked spirituality could be a game changer. Spiritual Gurus played passive, yet effective roles in redeeming warring societies.

Yogi Ramsurat Kumar once astral travelled to Kargil to bless the Soldiers and shared the same with a waiting follower, before even the Press carried the news about Kargil next morning . That all ruthless alien invasions in India couldn't dent our culture even a bit was due to the Bhakti movement from 8th century beginning with Adi shankara. Raghavendra Swami of Mantralaya appeared 130 yrs after taking samadhi, before the English collector Robert Munroe to plead the case of locals. There is a gazette notification reg this. (Posted copy below).

Spiritual current can empower even the nation as a whole silently. Invoking it in many ways to protect a nation is the duty of everyone. Military might and War strategies have limitations. Otherwise US would have won the Vietnamese war. Soviet Union wouldn't have collapsed despite big pile of nukes in its arsenal.

It's one such time in the history of India, now. To invoke spiritual powers to protect it as a shield, from those trying to destroy it. The thukde thukde agenda should be neutralised. Strangely, our political saviours themselves need to be saved in this crisis ! Only Spiriruality has the big shield.

But where to find it. Did you ask.

Yes. You guessed it right.

Pray. Chant. Meditate

Enough to stir the enemy's conscience.
The subtle spiritual vibes emanating from the millions Praying, Chanting and Meditating will create a new Spiritual Centre of Gravity. That will gravitate even the evil to it. And transform the Ratnakars out of it into Valmikis. As it did once. And got the sacred Ramayan out of him.

Sairam 😊🌹🙏
