“Indian culture is a culture of worshippers — the connection of Hindus with spiritual practice (sadhana) that has been severed today must be reestablished. How can spiritual strength, that is sadhana, be helpful in the work of a Hindu state — on this very subject, Swamiji says that we will have to deepen our connection with our chosen deity (Ishta Devata), teach children the Hanuman Chalisa from childhood so that they receive inner strength, and that the Bhagavad Gita contains clear guidance regarding the conduct of life.”
