The results of collective thinking

• written by Sundarlakshman

For some time, some people who originally belong to

 a village but have now settled in cities due to 

jobs or business, have started taking up some 

activities for the development of their respective villages.

While going to Mumbai by train recently I came across a person returning from Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh) with his family after having darshan of Balaji. He lives in Mumbai but does not own a house. The reason is low income, as he works as a taxi driver. He resides in a rented house at Mulund. Apart from maintaining the family, he has to educate his two kids also. Due to limited income and growing expenses following price rise he was planning to shift to Dombivali so that he could save some money by paying low house rent. Once a year, he goes to his village in Tamil Nadu. When I asked him why he came to Mumbai, he narrated a long story. He said till there was plenty of water in his village there was prosperity in the family. 

But since the water availability has come down the agriculture production declined

Shakha is a POWERHOUSE

by Sundar Lakshman

At the time when many of the village girls were not getting married due to the bad practice of unbearable dowry even at the age of 28 to 30 years, a swayamsevak, Rajlinga Raja, married a girl without dowry. This single incident changed the mindset of all villagers. Now every boy or girl of the village is get married at the proper age. There is no question of asking or giving dowry. Not only this, Rajlinga Raja also sheltered some Harijan children at his home and made all arrangements for their education. Some of them have now completed graduation, while some are drawing on handsome salaries from reputed institutions.

We have to weed out evil practices

“Everybody has to work in the society. But those who had to discharge the responsibility of sweeping were made untouchables. The mother in the family cleans the excreta and vomiting of a sick child, but all are equal there. Then how could the people doing the work of sweeping, be untouchable in the society? The Harijan society has given the saints like Ravidas and Valmiki to the nation, but the devotees of the god are deprived of entering the temples. If somebody of them becomes Christian, we start respecting him, but we do not embrace our own Madhav. These tendencies have to be changed. We have committed many mistakes, which have to be purified.” —P.P. Prof. Rajendra Singh (Fourth Sarsanghachalak of RSS)
