                                              Call of our National Soul

  Revival of old prejudices, superstitions or anti-social customs may be called reactionary, as that would result in fossilisation of society.But "rejuvenation of our culture" we mean the reanimating in our lives of those eternal life-ideals that have nourished and immortalised our national life all these millennia.

   We feel that we cannot define Hindu culture. However, no one can deny something just because it is not defined.e.g, Can anyone define life with definition and mathematical equation.

Pandit Nehru views the problem of life mainly from the materialist standpoint. He said on the instance of immersion of his wife's ashes in Triveni sangam that his intellact,  modern education and training were all in revolt but something in him, something inexplicable, forced him to immerse the ashes in Triveni sangam.  This is sanskar, the imprint of our culture.

  We want a living God.Our forefather said, "Our people are our God". Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa said" Daridra Narayana".

 Sanskrit Sloka says: Brahmin is the head, King the hands, Vaishya the thighs and Shudra the feet. This means that the people who have this fourfold arrangement ,i.e, the hindu people is our god.

  This supreme vision of godhead in society is the very core of our concept of Nation.Every individual is equally sacred and worthy of our service. We cannot discriminate among them.Thus, in our culture, the spirit of social service has been sublimated into worship of God.

  The Upanishads say :God permeates all Creation. Whatever is left over by Him, after offering Him, enjoy only that much. Do not rob what belongs to others.

  We are trustees of society. Instead of rights there should be sense of duty."truth is one, sages call it variously". Tolerance is often used to express this idea is very meek. It implies an element of ego, which just tolerates other viewpoint, without any love or respect for them. But we say there are different path to reach the top of the hill, which appear different from different direction. This description from all direction can define the hill wholly.Same way each and every individual can define the society in full sense. We find great saints and heroes coming from all sections of the society.Our culture does not advocate exhibitionism.If our way of expressing love is considered as dignified, then the silent method of working is also dignified.
