To understand secularism, the vision of polytheism is necessary.
Madhavaram, Chennai; Muni Sudhakarji, a disciple of Acharya Shri Mahashramanji, while speaking on the occasion of National Unity Day, said that dividing on the basis of caste, creed, sect is a threat to the integrity and sovereignty of the country. Casteism, communalism, provincialism are dangerous for the country. We should emphasize harmony more than language. Mankind is one. We should always be aware for the unity and integrity of the country.
Muni Shri further said that India can never be a secular national. Religion is the soul of India. There is no difficulty in the use of the word secular or non-secular in the constitution. Instead of being a sign of secularism, be a sign of secularism. It is necessary. After understanding the nature of religion and sect separately, no thinking person will be ready to consider India as a secular national.
Munishree further said that religion is not only related to soul-divine, it is also the basis of policy and behavior. The major reason for the decline in moral values is also lack of respect for religion. It is necessary to think on this from the ideology of pluralism.
Munishree further said that the word secular national, this word has created a lot of confusion among the public, it is a misleading word.
National saint Acharya Tulsi had made a lot of efforts to eradicate this misconception. He said that It is my own belief that no individual, class or country can be secular. To be secular means to be devoid of non-violence, friendship, love, truth, authenticity etc. Can anyone live without them? As long as there is value of non-violence in the world, then there is life. Wherever this value is being disregarded, the danger to life is increasing. Violence of water and flora and fauna also disturbs the balance of the environment, creating the problem of pollution. In such a situation the universal value of the principles of non-violence is established and this is actually religion.
Sajjanbai Ranka from Muni Shree denounced the penance of the 89th athai (eight-day fast). This is his fourth athai in this Chaturmas. This is the 15th year of yours and 4 masakhmans have also been done.
