Happy New Year,
Today is the first day of VIJAYA nama samvatsaram
The meaning of VIJAYA is victory,
Hindus know it, but never achieved it.
May I prod the docile Hindus,
With a few quotations..?
Well, here they are to take a glance
XXXXXXXXXX
The land whose great past was forged by the great Seers, the Rishis who, by their devotions, liberated the world and gave it knowledge – That secred land is our mother land (Adhrvana Vedam – 12:1:39)
=========================================
Oh Bharata Mata, uproot and destroy
All those who are hostile to us,
Who seek to invade us,
Destroy and enslave us,
Physically or mentally (Adhrvana Vedam – 12:1:14)
=========================================
To be prepared for war,
Is one of the most effective,
Means of preserving peace (George Washington)
=========================================
I have never advocated war,
Except as a means of peace (Gen Ulysses S Grant)

Without honour, it is no longer peace (Lord Russel)

a short lived achievement (Winfield Scott)

Should not walk again
In that country, as a FREE man (David Kenyon, Federal Judge, US)

He who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day (Gold Smith)
=========================================
Something deep down bothers me.
We seem to equate weakness with virtue and Immorality with strength.
We want to swallow everything non-violently.
We seemed to be convinced that it is
Immoral to be Strong and
Virtuous to be weak (Gen Sundarji)
=========================================
Men never do evil so completely and
Cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction

If we are silent about shortcomings,
They will inevitably grow (Mikhail Gorbachev)

Retreat as a settled policy eats at the soul (Lady Thatcher)

Confront them, it works…
