Safeguarding Indian Knowledge and the People of India– Brahmachari Girish

 Safeguarding Indian Knowledge and the People of India

– Brahmachari Girish

The knowledge of the eternal Sanatana Vedic Science of India was attained, preserved, nurtured, and made available to the common people for the welfare of all humanity by the accomplished spiritual practitioners, ascetics, Rishis, Munis, Maharishis, Rajarshis, and Brahmarshis of Bharatavarsha—the Land of the Vedas (Veda Bhumi), the Land of the Devas (Deva Bhumi), and the Sacred Land (Punya Bhumi)—through rigorous spiritual practices (Sadhana and Tapasya). Bhagavan Adi Shankaracharya established four Peethas in the north, south, east, and west of Bharat to ensure the continuous propagation, dissemination, and expansion of knowledge and wisdom. Even today, countless Indian Sadhus, Saints, Mahatmas, Sannyasis, scholars, spiritual narrators (Kathakars), Mahants, Mandaleshwars, and Mahamandaleshwars remain continuously engaged in this sacred mission. Indian knowledge has crossed the boundaries of Bharatavarsha and has reached the entire world. By benefiting from it, millions of members of the global family are making their lives meaningful and blessed.

In many countries across the world, there is a growing number of self-proclaimed Vedic scholars, imitators, and selfish individuals driven by a commercial mindset. They perceive even the fields of knowledge and Sadhana in India as a marketplace of opportunity. Many such elements have either already gained entry into various Indian social, religious and spiritual institutions by misusing their eloquence or through social media, by one means or another, or are making determined efforts to gain entry rapidly. The simple and unsuspecting people of Bharat are often quickly influenced by foreign attraction. They are unable to distinguish the truth from falsehood. In the name of imparting knowledge, teaching Yoga or Meditation, or providing Vedic education, such ignorant individuals are misleading Indians and diverting them away from true spirituality, Swadharma, and Satmarga. All this is being carried out as part of a specific and well-planned conspiracy. It is the same kind of conspiracy as the one devised a few centuries ago to damage or eradicate Indian knowledge and science. Blessed are those Indian scholars and citizens who understood that conspiracy, protected Indian knowledge, preserved it intact through the traditional Guru–Shishya Parampara, and ensured a proper and systematic arrangement for its study and teaching.

All respected dignitaries, especially the Acharyas of Vedic Gurukulas, Vedic scholars, managers and administrators of social, spiritual and religious institutions, need to remain extremely vigilant, alert, and cautious yourselves. At the same time, it is equally necessary to inform and caution the people within your respective spheres about this matter. We must immediately become active in protecting our fellow countrymen from such individuals who come to Bharat with little superficial book knowledge, or who imitate Indian Acharyas, proclaim themselves to be learned, and regard Bharat merely as a marketplace for knowledge or Yoga, Meditation or who possess a mindset that seeks to harm Indian knowledge and Vedic Science.

Kindly inform the people in your respective areas that if such individuals approach persons, institutions, schools, colleges, or universities in their locality, they should ask such persons to produce details of their educational qualifications, experience, Guru Parampara, and the relevant certificates. These credentials should be carefully verified. If considered necessary, they should also verify the visa stamped by the Indian Embassy in the individual's passport and confirm with the local Foreigners Registration Office that the individual is duly qualified and authorized to impart instruction.

Together, we must protect the priceless Vedic heritage of our nation. We must safeguard it from those who seek to undermine it, and we must carry this life-enriching knowledge to the entire global family. The best course would be for us to impart Indian Vedic knowledge ourselves to the generations that follow us, or to ensure that they receive it only from fully accomplished and genuinely learned Vedic Acharyas. We must not allow our fellow Indians to be misled by self-proclaimed scholars who possess only partial knowledge. We express our heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to this sacred mission. Jai Gurudev. Jai Maharishi. Jai Bharat.
