Notes and Events:

 Dr. Ambedkar asks which religion fulfills these requirements today, reminding that the days of the Mahatmas are gone and the world cannot have a new Religion. It will have to make its choice from existing religions. Some of the religions might satisfy one or two tests but Buddhism is the only religion satisfying all tests. He observes: “So far as I know the only religion which satisfies all these tests is Buddhism. In other words Buddhism is the only religion which the world can have. If the new world – which be it realized is very different from the old – must have a religion – and the new world needs religion for more than the old world did – then it can only be religion of the Buddha.”

Having discovered the only suitable religion for the modern world he embraced Buddhism. He led an unprecedented mass conversion and initiated bloodless social revolution not only for the people in India but also for the world.

Unparallel qualities and values he lived with, his work, his views on Dhamma and its social application to the complexities of modern world hails him the status of no less than a MODERN BUDDHA.

For the welfare of entire mankind, Bharath must stand before the world as a self-confident, resurgent and mighty nation. Even at the inception, the Sangh was viewed by its founder not as a sectoral activity, but as a dynamic power-house energizing every field of national activity. Expressed in the simplest terms, the ideal of the Sangh is to carry the nation to the pinnacle of glory through organizing the entire society. Verily this is the one real national as well as global mission. If ever there was one.

There is no charge for staying here but you should, of course, make a donation.
