In the program of educational and social organizations of Gujarat, Gujarat’s leading industrialist Mr. Maganbhai Patel in his statement on Hindu culture said that we write many high quality books which are useful for people in every sphere of social, political and economic life but They appear to us as stories. While many service projects are done at the organizational level or at the individual level, they cannot be kept in book form. All the service projects mentioned in this book can be an inspiration for the people of the country and the world to do service work.
During my lifetime, I have done result-oriented work in many fields like political, social, health, education, agriculture, employment-oriented, apart from this, since 1967 till now, I have done many developmental works for the people of poor and destitute section. There is a sense of self-satisfaction with the opportunity we have got to bring the families of tribals and workers working in industries into the mainstream. Even today, at the age of 83, I devote 10 hours a day to this field and give most of my earnings to inspire others in this field. The government can plan and if we help the government then the government can maintain law and order but if we break the law then the coming generation will never forgive us. My wife Shantaben Maganbhai Patel (age 82 years) is also involved in this service of mine. She is also serving as a donor trustee in high positions in many social organizations, which is my privilege.
As the Founder Secretary, Vice President and today President of Saurashtra Patel Seva Samaj since the year 1967, I have had the opportunity to be President and Managing Trustee in many institutions like schools, colleges, training centers for many years. Apart from this, I have the honor of serving for 15 years at senior positions in the Government of India and State Governments in the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of MSME and various committees of RBI like Industry, Health, Education, Finance etc. I have been given the opportunity to create my own identity.
All the things around us like humans, animals, birds, creatures, plants, water, earth, sky are all created by nature and it is the responsibility of all of us to maintain them and not let them get destroyed. Is indebted to. Today we cannot maintain the dignity of the mother who gives birth and the father who nurtures us. If we consider it our duty to read the scriptures and listen to the storytellers, then our next generation will also definitely follow them.
Indian culture means being kind towards animals and it is the responsibility of all of us to keep the slogans of Hindu culture like truth, non-violence, renunciation, tolerance by controlling lust, anger, pride, greed and attachment. Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin, our right is the duty of another, the duty of another is our right. We should respect people like head of any religion, social pioneer, political leader which is our duty as a Hindu culture. This culture was destroyed by foreign Muslims for about 800 years and some Khandian kings associated with British for 200 years. Attempts were made to destroy this culture for about 1000 years, but the protectors of our culture protected this heritage in the form of religion and did not allow it to be harmed. It is difficult to preserve this culture in today’s era of globalization, hence it has to be given priority politically and followed by giving it the form of law.
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” i.e. every human being living on earth is our family, only Hindu culture can say this. All the efforts made by Muslims to destroy this culture were not from the Muslims of Indian culture but from the foreign Muslims and the Mughal Sultanate, emperors like Mahmud Ghazni, Mahmud Ghori and the Mughals ruled for seven generations. These people did not consider Indian Muslims as Muslims because many of them had converted from Hindu to Muslim. All these foreign Muslims were a kind of robbers who harmed all the religions of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian living in India, who looted the country’s wealth and spread chaos. Whereas some Indian Muslims have proved their loyalty towards the culture of the country by giving martyrdom during the independence of India. Indian Muslims do not insult Indian culture and do not support seditious activities like terrorism. They should not indulge in such activities. Indian Muslims should understand that when the country was partitioned, there were about 18 percent Hindus in Pakistan, who were persecuted, tortured and fled leaving behind their wealth and today the Hindu population there is only about 2 percent. Similarly, injustice was done to Bangladesh, which was a part of Pakistan, and the then Indian government made military and economic sacrifices to create Bangladesh. Even today in Bangladesh, Hindus are being tortured and thrown out and Hindu religious places are being destroyed, for this big NGOs should pay attention to this and help the Indian government.
At the time of independence, the number of Muslims in India has increased significantly and till date Muslims are not facing any problem. Muslims of India should understand that this country is yours too, follow the laws of the government and be loyal to the country and help preserve Indian culture. Indian Muslims should help in restoring the religious places of the country which were destroyed by Aurangzeb and other Mughal Sultans. The freedom and security that Indian Muslim families feel in India today is unlike any other country in the world with a large Muslim population. No because there is no democracy there, people are still being kept in a state of slavery and law and order has been created by violating human rights. Today this type of situation exists in many Muslim populated countries of the world.
When the country became independent, the bodies of most of the poor farmers and laborers of the country had become like skeletons, the condition of Indians had become like that of animals in the jungle. A mother at that time would give birth to 13-14 children, but due to lack of adequate nutrition, only 5 to 6 children would survive. This was a dark history, which we got to know from our ancestors, which if remembered today, we would not be able to even eat food. By dividing India, the British carried out inhuman atrocities and oppression on 95 percent of the people of the country, but history is witness that Hindu culture was not harmed and India, independent in 1947, is today at the forefront in the whole world because of its Hindu culture.
Our Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi whom a country like America had refused to welcome and today the same country is welcoming Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi on the red carpet and also 100 countries of the world have held a meeting with him for world peace. And other countries are eager to meet, which shows the strength of this country’s culture. By presenting Narsingh Mehta’s popular bhajan “Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye, Je Peed Parai Jaane Re” in about 124 countries of the world through the government of that country, Shri Narendrabhai Modi Sahab showed the Hindu culture which cannot be seen anywhere else. Can get. Swami Vivekananda shocked the whole world by propagating Hindu culture, after that if there is anyone in our eyes then it is our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi Saheb. Apart from this, heads of Hindu religion, heads of social organizations and political heads has also propagated Hindu culture, but the full credit for effective propagation goes to Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi Saheb and his team.
Today, US President Donald Trump, who visited Hindu temples in America, has appointed Tulsi Gabbard, a woman of Indian culture, who is the head of National Intelligence, in his cabinet. Apart from this, another woman of Indian origin, Usha Vance, who is the wife of America’s Vice President J.D. Vance, has made India proud by becoming the second American woman. Apart from this, Kamala Harris, who was a candidate in the US presidential elections, is also a woman of Indian origin. . The idol of Lord Hanuman is one of the few items that former US President Barack Obama always keeps in his pocket and draws inspiration from whenever he feels tired or discouraged.
Hindu culture in India has given respect to women in high positions like President, Prime Minister or Chief Minister of any state and has made the country and the state proud by introducing women power to the whole world. Whereas in a country like America, in the history of almost 250 years, not a single woman has been able to become the President of a country like America. Apart from this, former British Prime Minister Rishi Shunak also has deep faith in Hindu culture and Hindu theology. Today, all over the world, local people have started visiting Hindu temples and have stopped eating non-vegetarian food and have also started adopting the spirit of joint family.
Today, about 10 percent of the people in every field may be criminals, corrupt or have a traitorous mentality, but about 90 percent of the people have worked together in a result-oriented manner, of which we are witness. I and all Indians associated with my ideology are grateful to nature that God has given me and my family the opportunity to serve “Maa Bharati” and her children by giving birth to me in a country like India.
