A Call for the Intellectual Kshatriya
It has often been said that the ‘pen is mightier than the sword’. However throughout most of history this has never really been the case. However today for perhaps the first time in human history, the pen really is mightier than the sword. David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastra) explains why, in this scintillating essay.

Dear Vamadeva,
There is one intellectual Kshatriya standing forth and his name is Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha Anantha Natha. However, one may stand forth but not get noticed by the media or even yourself. Our work “Divine Initiation” was copyrighted in the early 1990’s and published in Sep. 2001. It dealt with the demise of the Aryan Migration Theory long before yourself and Subhash Kak but on different premises. This premise is that the Veda and therefore the Agamas, including the Tantras and by implication other religions, are written in an unknown code that the above author has discovered. This code has been unknown for the past 500 years, which covers the prime Indological period in India. By releasing this code the intellectual revolution underpinned by spirituality that you speak of can begin. Without this code the rest is but mere speculation I am sorry to say. To inspire readers further to understand what I am saying and so begin the revolution I enclose an excerpt from the Rg Veda (VIII. 85. 13-16) decoded in “Divine Initiation” page 61:
The Black Drop sank in Amshumati’s
bosom, advancing with ten thousand round about it.
Indra with might longed for it as it
panted: the hero-hearted laid aside his weapons.
(In fact, this Black Drop or Essence is Krishna. To facilitate Manifestation, or Indra, it sank in Amshumati’s bosom. In other words, the Unsullied Absolute in the process of Manifestation retains its notion of Infiniteness, but metamorphoses to become the Purusha that is Krishna. Since the Purusha too, is essentially the Divine Absolute, Krishna is portrayed as advancing with an army of ten thousand. In fact, the notion of the Infinite is graphically the army of TEN THOUSAND. However, as Krishna desires to facilitate Manifestation, he pants or gives up to Indra or Manifestation. In other words, Krishna co-operates with Indra and it is due to this that Indra the hero-hearted is graphically said to have laid aside his weapons.)

“THE VERY TITLE OF THE ARTICLE CREATES SOCIAL DIVISION THUS TENSION AND CONFLICTS.”
Nonsense, you must stop using “OM” as well since it offend’s devout Muslims and Christians, go to the nearest mosque or Church and get converted because Hindus are better off without traitors like you.

This is a very good article. The paramount need of the moment is to displace the self hate displayed by wealthy Hindus, and instill a pride in our (dare I say far more superior) culture. There are plenty of Hindus in the media, but they simply are not doing enough to convey a message that is true to our culture. Bollywood is a prime example that is acheiving what Macauley couldn’t do; convert a nation of brown-skinned people who are Western in their thought. Only once this pride emerges will Hindu media moguls serve any purpose.

The article must be seen as an excerpt.
But as a launch point for discussion:
Do we need to do what the chirsto-islamic group does? We certainly need better PR groups but for what purpose? To increase the rate of avidya to vidya transformation? To increase the revenues of the hindu temples? To save the world from a process of ego and ethnocentric self immolation? the last is what I woud chose. But Sanatana Dharma is interested in increasing freedom (moksha) not telling people the easy answers of sound bites - this creates a unity in diversity that becomes unwieldy to direct.
I suppose what this person would be is an enlightened spirit manifestation with some significant muslce mass, weoponry, and a group of followers. Perhaps we really need is a group with political will advised by aged knowers and with the authority to direct executive action (the passion of youth) - hmm a government perhaps.
Perhaps a group lead by the author would be of interest.
not disagreeing with the article but it does raise some interesting cahllenges.

okay awesome article by Dr Fawley
But if us Hinds are ever going to reclaim our right ful place as the “engine” of humankind then we will need to take some drastic action.\
1, The myth of Gandhism - the man was a great soul. No doubt and no arguments form me but too many have taken non violence to mean non action or to be “a walking talking carpet”`,…. well newsflash for all you weak minded suckers … \Hinduism does not start not end with Mohandas K Gandhi.
The sooner we realise that the sooner we can start feeling a bit of pride.
2, Education: at the moment we are conditoned to accept anything that comes from a western, non hindu or indian marxist pen.
Well we have to write out our own history books, we need to lead expeditions into the various parts of the ancient Hindu world and search and establish the bridge of lanka, the city of dwarka et all…. and so show to the world that Hindu history is not dead it is aliev and we need ot overthrow the scum of the marxists and anti hindu’s
we need to set up our own “krsna” project and take Hinduism back into the countryside of India and reconvert those who have been let down by the dumb hindu classes who have solidfied caste distinctions for their own material gain and who have let the evangalists and the godless into into the country.
3, Revolution… once the countryside is ours…. the cities will be islands of puesdo secularism amidst a sea of dhrama and we they will have to either accept the rule of Dharma or they will be washed away.,….
We need to train our bodies as well as our minds…. we need to go back to the original vedic sources of the Rg Veda and reclaiim ouir heritage in its mental and physcial form…
We must purge ourselves of our hypocrosies and then our weaknesses and then we can purge the society of those that wish us ill…
4, Be Proud - to proclaim that you are Hindu and say to the buttheads out there….\”no we are not cow worshipers etc etc we are children of the Veda;s and we are proud of our diversity and our oneness”…
and to do that we must create a new Vedic Orderwe are the “300″` e are the Vedic 300… a group of individuals who are trained in arts both martial and mental, in both intellectual and spiritual….
we are taught and we teach our young never to retreat - for we are descended from the “veda”`itself….
we love peace but are not afraid of war (in all its guises)
5, Respect - only if we create an order, an organistaion that outlives us and that takes on all the anb -hindu elements on multiple fronts and fosters a pride of vedicness in our young will we be taken seriously…
Now i aint talking about right wing hindu nationalism as practiced by so called Hindu groups in India and abroad…. I am talking about a group that fights with its moral authoritu, \its spiritual knowledge and its physical might.
We need to overthrow all the current “hindu organistations” they are a front for self satisfied business man and hindu “cults” - commonly known as the “chai pakora” crowd.
6, A New Kurukshetra —– so if you can see what I am saying I will see you on the eternal many dimenionsal battle field of a new Kurukshetra and we will srand bloodied and bowed to our Lord …
The blood of my body is the blood of my Dharma…
I will spill it ,,, will you…..

Nonsense, Indian media is heavily influenced by Marxist tripe, go read The Hindu (ironic name) to find out what philosophy it endorses, people have even nicknamed it’s editor N.Ram as Naxal Ram.

DBji,
Your thinking that English media is thru US/UK educated and are against Marxism seems to me farfetched …may not be very true. Most of the people involved with media - who are popular - are from JNU which is the churnig unit for leftist thinking.
To best of my knowledge, David Frawley presented a paper on Indus valley civilisation / the lost Saraswati river ( the topic that i state may not exactly may not have had same title ) to JNU once, and the faculty/students while could agree with his analysis etc, they wanted it be kept in cold storage as otherwise they felt that the Sangh Parivar may take advantage of that .
So we are willing to keep information in cold storage - instead of continue with the research - if the info is likely to have any political / religious implications…
My own feelings are that the western people are more willing to look into the deeper aspects than our own IDEOLOGY BELIEVING people

A very timely article indeed! In general, Hindus suffer from a weakness: to show that they have outgrown ‘Hinduism’, and to show off that they are so liberal minded that all religions are the same for them! What is more, they cast withering glances on anyone who talks exclusively about ‘Hindu’ region; “they have not yet become spiritual, you see”, they pity quite condescendigly!

May be I missed some thing. I thought that Pen is mightier than the sword refers to the longevity of the knowledge over physical rule such as we know Mark Twain but who remembers the name of the contemporary U.S. president?, some of us even remember Kalidas, but many may not remember who ruled India at the time. As far as Hindus rightful place is concerned well…. For one we did not really care much about copy rights, and intellectual property. For the other we tend to accept our genious these days only when it is pointed out to us…..Why should it be not so the entire education sustem is any thing but Indian….. We think in terms of right/left, north/south first world/ third world, no one really believes that one which has no beginning may not have an ending, these sages who developed such precise sutra, detailed worship ritual yet developed no process to convert others, could it be because Dharma is as natural as being human….they did put the words Manav and Dharma together and every thing else became an explanation of these two words. Hindus need to be like oceon ever accepting for that is what Dharma is…Whenever I hear some one say there are many paths to God I rejoyce for there I witness the birth of a new Hindu even if he/she does not know it. om

I have recently read and posted a ‘Reply to David Frawley’s “Call for the Intellectual Kshatriya” by Robert E. Wilkinson on my website (www.quantumyoga.org). It is way too long of a ‘comment’ to be posted here but I hope some readers will find their way to Mr. Wilkinson’s reply. He discusses the need for knowledge of Sri Aurobindo’s yoga, the cosmological model of the Mother’s Temple, and the Movement for the Restoration of Vedic Wisdom that was instigated by Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet. At the basis of Wilkinson’s complaint is the need to see the connection between the Sayana Tropical Calendar System (firmly based on solstice and exquinox and the Sanatana Dharma.
