Yesterday night I was watching the Indian national TV news channels with tears in my eyes and chocking in my throat caused by untold emotion. I tell you, I am not a person of sentiments and emotions in the ordinary manner. But when I see evil getting overpowered even in the slightest manner, I get emotional. This indescribable emotion pervades my mind and senses whenever there is some victory of good in some way in this world entrenched in the hands of demonic forces in all subtle ways not normally discerned by ordinary souls!
Something big was happening in the National Capital Territory (NCR) of India-Delhi, yesterday, the 20th January 2014.
A group of elected peoples' representatives belonging to the brand new political entity of India, the Aam Admi Party (AAP) were proceeding to lead a peaceful protest agitation in front of the building that houses the home ministry offices of the central government of India. Leading them from the front were the whole members of the cabinet of ministers of the new state government of Delhi marching behind their undisputed leader and their Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal. They had only taken charge of the new governmental administration in the capital region of Delhi under compelling circumstances just a month ago.
And this group had a challenging responsibility with them. They had given an assurance to to the people to work against corruption that has engulfed India almost fully in the recent decades that the existing political set up had failed to accomplish. More precisely, the existing political system have become part and parcel of a corrupt system which the people have almost taken for granted because there was no escape route for them. Now on this scene, a new face has been emerging. And he is Arvind Kejriwal, a name that has become well known to most of the common people of India. His rise to popularity was not an easy task, but a saga of sacrifice, dedication and determination.

His rise to popularity was not an easy task, but a saga of sacrifice, dedication and determination.
Arvind Kejriwal is no ordinary soul. He is not from my generation, but one from a much younger generation of Indians. The time when I began watching this young man and his activities towards initiation of reforms in the otherwise doomed Indian society, instinctively I was realizing that this man is a new saint in the making in my country. A Mahatma. Perhaps even greater than Mahatma Gandhi ji who took the British empire head on to free India from the foreign colonialism of the last few centuries.
Mahatma Gandhi could become successful in his peaceful satyagraha agitation because he was fighting against a system of governance which gave some credence to human values. But Arvind Kejriwal has initiated a struggle against a system that totally ignored human values in practice while deceitfully projecting it as the fundamental law. Undoubtedly, the latter's task was not at all easy when compared to the former. Besides, in the times of Kejriwal, the people for whom he took up the initiative have become a divided , confused and lethargic lot who have lost their basic ability to discern good and bad or to react.

I have been witnessing the gradual deterioration of my country with the rise of demonic forces in all walks of life in the past nearly six decades. The percentage of good people in the country have been reducing in the leadership positions and the ordinary citizens of the country have been losing their faith in good and have been moving towards evil for survival. The majority having some good still left within them have been losing their strength to resist evil in any manner. They took shelter under many promising leaders in the past only to realize that they were all demons in disguise to cheat and mislead them. The net result was that people like me were losing faith in leaders. There is no one out there who could be trusted. All are with vested interests.
This situation gave the demonic forces the ultimate cheer that they wanted to achieve! So long as the people do not have any good leader, their victory remained unchallenged! The demonic forces therefore first attempted to destroy any possible good leadership that tried to emerge either directly or indirectly. If such leaders showed any inclination to get tarnished in error or evil even to the slightest manner, the demons celebrated. In other words, a time has come where good is denounced and evil is praised.
So naturally, Arvind Kejriwal who took up the moral issue of eradication of corruption as his mission, he was naturally becoming an enemy of the evil forces who were all around him. In the beginning they were too confident of their strength. So they pooh-poohed him. But when they found that unexpected public support in his favor, they began to think of clever ways to discredit him.

The evil forces has been trying to hoodwink this frail looking, physically weakened leader with acute cold and cough in the cold polluted weather of Delhi ever since he got elevated to a position of high responsibility under compelling and shameful political drama played by the established political forces of India by all means. Many thought he would succumb to the evil influences. Many have been eagerly watching and waiting him to fall from grace to disgrace. The invisible evil forces have been making all out efforts to bring him down. But they were doing it the way the cat drinking the milk. They kept their eyes closed thinking that no one is seeing (their clever deeds that they kept doing)
I have been watching and reading those small pieces of information and news about the hard testing this innocently looking young man was facing in the political arena of India.
There is a big group of young and dedicated Indians supporting him openly. All their faces reflected a radiance of honesty, innocence and determination to fight the evil. I listened to the common Indians around me. What were they saying about this new leader. To my surprise I found that the hitherto silent Indians are now speaking out their frustrations about the system that has been suppressing them cleverly for all these years. The system so deceptively woven up by clever and intelligent people from their lot who were using it for their full benefits and selfish ends!
Now here is a leader who is not there to take advantage of the system for his personal gains.
How do you know? It is too early to tell because all the previous leaders too were like this. Even Hitler too was a pious common man's leader earlier before he became a ruthless dictator!
Of course, power and position corrupt even angels. What to talk about the lowly humans?
But yet, there is some thing different in this man, my mind was telling me. He is not going to be like Hitler or those of that kind. Neither he would be of those deceptive ones who keep talking many things but never do any thing against the societal cancer called corruption.
He is not there for making some big gains for him. He seems to be honest in his mission of fighting corruption. And that honesty is reflected on his face that is discernible by all who are unbiased.
That instills awe and admiration.
I prayed to God earnestly to give him the strength of mind that he needs most to withstand all those tacit pressures his opponents have been applying with no sympathies. For them, the cause for which he stood for was nothing. For them people and the country have been just opportunities for meeting their personal agendas and interests. They cared little for the nation in the real sense. But collectively they cared much for themselves. The demons know the real threat that could have from any being with some divine blessings! The best way to withstand any divine intervention is to influence any divine messenger to their fold.The practice of converting saints to demons have been in vogue for the past many thousands of years!

But if a saintly person keep refusing to join their ranks, the demons become nervous and showing off their demonic real faces. They then take out the weapons of physical aggression and cruelty, their last weapons in store.
But this determined young leader with a will power stronger than any other leaders that human kind has seen in recent times has been showing a determination to take the demonic forces head on. He has no army and no weapons. What he has is his strength of character and ethics and the motivation of the good mission that he has so courageously took up. He has embarked upon a mission to fight corruption, the deceptive weapon of the demons and the followers of evil, knowing well that the demons could attempt to destroy him with all their might.
They had gifted him the covet position of chief minister-ship as if as a great favor and expected him to enjoy this 'office of profit' quietly as every others have been doing so far or would have naturally done. They also began to bestow him all the associated facilities and perks. When he declined to accept those, they tried to mock and ridicule him by branding him as a person of high and insatiable greed and ambition dreaming of capturing the highest office of profit in the country- the prime minister-ship! Even the media men who were praising him a few days ago have been influenced to speak against him and tarnish him by using any opportunities that they might get.
The whole of the armed forces of the capital were paraded against him to terrorize him and his simple admirers by creating a situation initially to instigate him to a simple , peaceful but justified protest.
But he has been relentless. He has so far withstood all those pressures, an unlikely sight in India in the recent past history. And he was heavily and visibly depending on his moral strength and his conviction of the divine protection and support.
As I watched that display of moral courage that this saintly man has been showing so far, I was feeling proud of this leader. Is he the incarnation of the legendary god of India, the Shri Krishna? The famous quotation of Bhagavat Gita began to play back in my mind:
[परित्राणाय साधुनाम विनाशाय च: दुष्कृताम धर्मं संस्थापनार्थाय संभवामि युगे युगे]
In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to re-establish the principles of religion, I advent myself millennium after millennium
Mahatma Kejriwal ji is asking for a small symbolic gesture of giving some small punishment to a few erring policemen of Delhi now. It is not a big deal any way. But underlying that apparently small gesture is a big issue that the evil forces are scared of. The demonic forces cannot accept that small thing now because they know that would provide this frail saint a big moral victory.
But if the stories of the great Indian epic Mahabharata is any indication, then we should remember that the divine forces normally start their actions from seemingly small mistakes of the demons.
I am not sure whether Mahatma Kejriwalji is going to win his war of morality that he has undertaken now against the immoral forces that prevail the length and breadth of India, the land of Mahabharata.
But it is going to be the beginning of a big era of changes in this land that the demonic forces are scared of from happening.
Because I am convinced of the wisdom of the divine administration that pervade in the whole of the universes including our small world earth.
If you support the cause of good over evil and the views I have expressed, you should consider sharing this with those of similar views for supporting this war of morality that has begun in India.
We may not be able to involve with him directly.
But at the least, we should give this saintly leader our moral support when he needs it most.
