Complaints of Mrinalini pointless since Sri Aurobindo is no longer himself

Swamy Dayananda – The Lion Saint by @krishnarjun108 Posted on November 27, 2012 

Dayananda induced much needed shock treatment to hindu society. It was at its lowest ebb, obsessed with empty rituals, mindless sectarianism, casteism and superstition with an ostrich like approach to internal and external siege from enemies of its existence… Christian missionaries were targeting weakest links in hindu society and luring young minds in a systematic manner exploiting internal contradictions of hindus. Traditional hindu intellectual class was unable to cope up with the situation, time demanded an unconventional and radical approach to prevent society from dipping into self-hate.

Dayananda initiated much needed self-introspection in hindu society, reminded hindus of their vedic roots, highlighted the vedic core of hindu dharma with a rational approach. He also reminded hindus that knowledge, not dogma was the source of their path. He prompted hindus to return to basics, be rational and engage in the world with confidence. He was a critic of maya philosophy. The world to him is as real as a slap on the face.
