Govindacharya - 21st century Mahatma Gandhi?


04.03.05

Kamath’s recent article visualising a massive indigenous agrarian supply and distribution system run by the Sangha Parivar is tantalising. He even hints at Govindacharya being the 21st century Mahatma Gandhi (the swadeshi link).

Why is Govindacharya wanting to bridge the divide between the rich and poor when he ought to know that both are two sides of the same coin and as a material coin, not worth bothering about at all? Does he seriously believe that a rich-poor ‘abridgement’ would solve everyone’s problem? No, for the simple reason that man’s problem is not because he lacks money. His problem is because he has not discovered that unless he brings himself to a state of detachment and a witness, he is not going to be in the state of ‘satchitananda’, which alone he really yearns for but may not be obvious to him.
