For survival, Communist’s hijack Swami Vivekananda and Netaji

The Kerala state conference of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) is going on in Trivandrum. In the posters of the conference we can see the picture of Swami Vivekananda along with Karl Marx and other Communist ideologues.

How the youth organization of the Communist party of India can use Swami Vivekananda, the prophet of Hindu Nationalism, as their poster boy. Under these circumstances, in particular on the 147th birth anniversary of the great saint, a close look on the ideals and philosophy of Vivekananda is necessary.

Swami Vivekananda is a valiant monk who proclaimed the greatness of Hinduism in America at a time when the Europe and America considered Bharat as a land of superstitions. For him the land of Bharat has had special and sacred significance and he used to refer Bharat as the Punyabhumi.

The basic ideology of communism is contrary to the ideology of cultural nationalism or Hindu Nationalism. The ultimate goal of Indian communists is to construct Bharat as a pure communist-autocratic state like China and Cuba. Their concept of Nation is based on the communist ideology.

On the other side Swami Vivekananda’s concept about Bharat was a strong, powerful and aggressive Hindu Nation. Swamiji once said, Vedanta should be the very foundation on which Bharat has to build her edifice. According to Vivekananda, a Hindu or a Bharati is one who believes in the authority of the following: the authority of the Vedas, God, the cyclical order of creation and above all those who consider Mother and Motherland above heaven. These are all alien to communists.

The communists are never being a part of this order. Earlier they were not ready to accept Swami Vivekananda and national heroes like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Now they are forced to change their stand on these great patriots and they realized that other wise they have no existence in the land of spirituality. So undoubtedly the present day communists will recognize Dr.Hedgewar and Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar in future.
