The Untold Truth of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Your child celebrates Teachers' Day with enthusiasm, but pays no attention to Guru Purnima. Why?

Brainwashing Through Education!

I have no objection to your celebrating this person's birth anniversary as Teachers' Day or any other day, but it is my duty to show you his other side as well. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is an example of how false ideals have been established in all our minds. Without knowing or understanding him, the children of this country have been placing marigold garlands on his photograph every year. One thing has been common among all these false ideals: hatred towards Hindu dharma, its culture, and history!!

I know that no one is perfect, and I do not worship the imperfect.

Worship of False Gods

Wikipedia states that Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was an Indian philosopher and statesman who served as the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India from 1962 to 1967.

One of India’s most influential scholars of comparative religion and philosophy, Radhakrishnan served as a bridge between East and West, demonstrating how the philosophy of each tradition could be understood in terms of the other’s definitions. He wrote authentic documents of India’s religious and philosophical literature for the English-speaking world.

An online friend of mine complained: Why do I write more posts comparing the superiority of India versus the West? Here is the answer for him.

I do so because most of us were forced to worship false gods like Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Children in Indian schools are taught to celebrate his birthday, September 5, as Teachers' Day in India. But is he a scholar worthy of emulation by children, whose books serve as textbooks in colleges?

Know the real Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and his derogatory writings.

Western education cast a deep impression even on the minds of certain great scholars and so-called patriots of India—an education that harbored a sense of inferiority toward Hindu culture, history, and dharma. They collected the intellectual filth of Western writers and used it in their own writings.

They did not know what they were doing; writings of theirs such as "Ram was merely a good man, he was not God" betrayed and confused millions of Hindus, while contradicting the authentic writings of Veda Vyasa, which are the national treasures of India.

Now let me give you a few examples —

[1] Rigveda is a collection of ordinary songs by primitive poets. (IP/I-71)

[2] The Atharvaveda contains matters concerning the religion of spirits and ghosts of the pre-Vedic period. It is the foundation of necromancy prevalent among the tribes of India. (PU-45; IP/I-121)

[3] Ancient Vedic rishis worshipped nature... Vedic deities were foolishly self-centered... Gods and ghosts governed the lives of the people. (IP/I-121)

[4] The Upanishads (Aranyakas) are conjectures of forest dwellers. Their teaching gets lost in a chaotic jumble of childish superstitions. (IP/I-355)

[5] He (Radhakrishnan) cannot accept the Krishna of the Puranas. It was merely the unknown author of the Gita who made Krishna famous through his writings and presented Him as Bhagavan (Brahman). (IP/I-496, 521)

[6] Ram was merely a good man, he was not God, and his religion is polytheistic and external.

[7] Shankaracharya's far-fetched arguments made his system unattractive, and Ramanuja's otherworldly stories carry no weight. (IP/II-711)

IP = Indian Philosophy Vol 1 and Vol 2

He calls the Vedic rishis primitive poets whose ordinary songs are in the Rigveda. He says that the Atharvaveda incorporates the demons of primitive tribes; the Vedic deities are foolishly self-centered; and the Upanishads are childish superstitions.

The derogatory writings of Western scholars initiated by the British against Hindu dharma had a profound influence on Indian minds. But Radhakrishnan's endorsement of those Western ideas caused immense damage by offering entirely flawed inputs about Hindu philosophy, Hindu shastras, and Hindu dharma, creating vast confusion among millions of scholars of philosophy and religion across the world. Just examine a few of his mistranslations.

Radhakrishnan's disparaging writings entangled millions of good people searching for the path to God-realization. Across every aspect of Hindu dharma (scriptures, the works of the acharyas, and texts detailing the avatars of God), he attempted to destroy the entire structure of Hindu dharma.

Therefore, my dear friend, it is necessary to expose these false gods so that the intellectuals of this nation may understand authentic Sanatana Dharma and the pathways to God-realization.
