[Chaturamnaya] An Appeal to All Mathadipatis and Hindu religious heads

[Lakshman Velayutham]

Hari Om.

Thank you Sadanandji for raising this issue for us.

We need to fight under one banner.
Are we Hindus ready to sink our differences?
Are we willing to sacrifice our goals and time for a greater cause?

Do we see the issue as adharma happening to us or do we cover ourself under
the umbrella of indifference, in the name of tolerance?

Does the shastra say that it is the duty of every Hindu to fight by all
means when it comes to adharma or are the brahmin, vaishya and sudras
waiting for the kshatriya ( I don't know how one classifies them in today's
world) to begin the journey while they sit by the sidelines.

We are busy intellectually fighting dwaita, advaita, vishishtadvaita and
more.

The enemy knows our weakness.

Regards,

Lakshman Velayutham
