Starting with the foreign invasions in the 7th century at last the plunder, oppression and atrocities perpetrated by the British crumbled our country to pieces. Along with the financial plunder to the tune of about 350-400 lakh crore rupees, they demolished our educational system based on moral and ethical values, our ideals and our whole social structure. They sowed the seeds of discord in our country in the name of caste, region, and language, and put the people at loggerheads. Our forefathers considered wine drinking, prostitution and meat-eating a heinous crime, an unethical and highly irreligious sinful act. But the cruel, ruthless, evil-minded British opened liquor shops in 1760, abattoirs for meat, and brothels for prostitution. Thus our country was totally destroyed relentlessly.
Now, first of all, we are faced with this challenge that we have to uplift our country morally, ethically, socially and spiritually. We have to get rid of caste system, dowry system, the practice of sacrificing animals, etc., and other ignorance–based traditional rituals and superstitions like black magic, enchantment, exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, and such other hypocritical mischiefs. Our country is being doomed and dammed by liquor, tobacco and other addictions. To liberate our people, villages, society and nation of these addictions, we have to restore the healthy tradition of yoga practice, satsang, study of scriptures and cultural refinement. We have to re-integrate into the fabric of our social life the universal and scientific Vedic culture based on sixteen sanskaras, five mahayajnas and four varnasrama duties. We have to redeem our country from the sins of cow-slaughter, female foeticide and dowry murders, etc., and from the social evils like gambling, etc., and have to encourage meritorious acts like blood donation, eye donation, tree plantation,
From the level of villages to the city and metropolitan level, we have formulated an 11- point Action Plan which aims at the moral upliftment from the village to the city level.
We have to build up a Bharat based on restraint, good conduct, sense of service and cultural refinements, and free from the taint of disease and evils, where elders are respected, younger ones are loved, joint family is preferred and there is mutual love and goodwill among people of all castes, regions and sects. All should live together a life of purity; all should contribute to the prosperity by their industriousness, and all should unite to think in national interest. The root cause of all challenges to the nation such as unemployment, poverty, starvation, want, squalor, uncontrolled increase in population, illiteracy, violence, insecurity, Naxalite terrorism, etc., is the financial plunder, corruption and corrupt systems. We shall awaken our people to this truth, and to save the country we shall organize all the people of our country through the medium of organizations. When our just demands will be voiced with full strength by our well-organized and united people, the democratic ruling powers of the country shall have to bow down before them, and the ruling power shall be compelled to act in accordance with the will of people’s power. Thus, by eradicating corruption, and by putting an end to wrong policies and corrupt systems, we will build up a powerful Bharat free from poverty, hunger, want, illiteracy, etc.
