India will rise as a golden lion: Govind Giri Maharaj

Referring to some books available in English these days, claimed that a majority of such books cover issues that are already available in “our scriptures”.

“Management, self-help, human relationship, and leadership qualities are written about the most in English. It has come to light that the ideas are not new; we have read all this in the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Bhagvad Gita. It’s just that the expression of thoughts are in English, which makes this knowledge seem new to us. We need to look at our culture for learning and understanding,” he said.

He added that we have been misled by the British education system. Referring to Max Mueller’s letter that stated India has been conquered once, and that second conquest should be a conquest by education, Maharaj said that the academician stated so after he had realised that to keep India perpetually enslaved, it is necessary to change the education system here.

“The land of India has a golden history. Now India will rise as a golden lion, not as a golden bird. We need to feel proud of our Indianness. All the cultures of the countries have been destroyed, but Indian culture is infinite. Our culture has given a lot for the welfare of humanity. The sages of India have learned the management of humanity,” he said.
