GLIMPSES OF DOCTOR HEDGEWAR
Introduction
Since our Hindu culture
lays great emphasis on practice, and virtually ignores empty intellectual
arguments that are unaccompanied by any positive action, these few memoirs from
Dr. Hedgewar's life assume tremendous importance in the Hindu Renaissance of
today. These simple incidents touch the heart, and the actions depicted therein
show the depth of national character, of a towering personality. Imbued with profound
meaning, Dr.Hedgewar's day-to-day activities and conversations have become the
fountainhead of inspiration for millions worldwide.
Like the holy Ganga river,
these holistic memoirs have cleansed away the centuries - old, accumulated bad
habits from our people. Like a skilled sculptor, Doctorjee carved out
magnificent national foundation pillars from ordinary school children. These
memoirs are from their devoted hearts and from their inspired lives dedicated
to the service of Bharatmata.
May these memoirs forever
be the beacons of everlasting inspiration in our hearts. May they give us the
towering personality and stability of the Himalayas; the purity of mother Ganga;
the depth of the ocean, the courage of the lion, and a creativity soaring to
the skies. May we be inspired like the Rishi Dadheechi, to give our all, for
Bharatmata. May we feel inspired to follow the lofty footsteps of Rashtra Rishi
(National Seer) Dr. Hedgewar. May the Lord Almighty bless us in our endeavor!
