Suu Kyi is a modern Moses
WHEN I received an invitation to attend the release in India of the book, Than Shwe: Unmasking of Burma’s Tyrant by Benedict Rogers, I was anxious to attend the function.
Rogers has visited Burma (also called Myanmar) 30 times, and has studied the dictator who has ruthlessly smothered democracy and kept Aung San Suu Kyi in house arrest for as long as 15 years out of the last 20 years.
Rogers is a British academic, politician, writer and human rights activist, all rolled into one. In the one and a half hours that he took to give a presentation on the book and answer questions from the audience, he gave a vivid picture of how the totalitarian regime has been doing everything possible to keep the people under subjugation, if necessary, even by killing them.
Particularly moving was his description of the killing of a Burmese dissident in his own house in Thailand, just days after Rogers had interviewed him. In wanton disregard of international law, the Burmese troops crossed the border and killed him.
Though Rogers wanted to meet Than Shwe for the book, he was not given an interview. He obtained details about him from his associates, former colleagues and diplomats who had met the General. The picture he assembled is even less flattering than Shwe's public image.
While Aung San Suu Kyi understands international relations, speaks excellent English and is suave, highly qualified and impressive, Shwe is the opposite of all these qualities. An overt chauvinist, Shwe seems unable to reconcile himself to the fact that his rival is a woman.
"Left to himself, he would have liked Aung San Suu Kyi to serve tea at a meeting, rather than engage with him in a political discussion", Rogers said.
Shwe believes only in brute power and is, therefore, unable to appreciate the fact that moral power can override even the greatest power on earth.
In failing to grasp the import of moral power, Shwe is like Joseph Stalin, who famously asked Winston Churchill, in a discussion of Poland's religious fervor, how many divisions the Pope had. Pope Pius XII responded, "You can tell my son Joseph that he will meet my divisions in heaven".
Yet, with all his power and "divisions", Than Shwe does not feel secure. Rogers showed several pictures of Naypyidaw, also known as the "Abode of Kings", the new capital the military junta has built 460 kms north of the old capital Yangon.
Than Shwe believes that every "great" ruler must build a capital.
"It has wide roads, impressive, colourful blocks of residential apartments and well-appointed office complexes. But you won’t find any people on the roads. It is a soulless city", said Rogers.
This same Than Shwe was praised when he visited New Delhi last July, and he was taken to the Rajghat where he laid a wreath at the Samadhi of the Father of the Nation. The Mahatma would have turned in his grave over the sacrilege.
As far as the people of India are concerned, Aung San Suu Kyi is the only Burmese leader they know. She is popular in the country, which bestowed her with the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1992.
She believes in Gandhi’s "satyagraha" or non-violent form of protest. The 65-year-old leader has been protesting against the deprivation of power, despite her party winning the 1990 election.

NETAJI
-The Unknown Chapter-
The controversy about Netaji is well known throughout the world. Various researchers are on the move. Some say, “He has died in the Plane-Crash of 1945.” Some other say, “He left India at the fag-end of the Second World War and took shelter in Russia. But somehow he was killed there later.” Others observe, “Netaji since fled from Russia and took refuge in India under pseudonym ‘Gumnami Baba’ who died in 1986. When a section opine, “He is aging to 114-115. It is not possible for a person to live so long—he is dead in reality. The well publicized Mukherjee Commission (The Third Netaji Enquiry Commission) is among them. In fact being in this terrestrial world, it is not possible for a person devoid of an inner sight to think further.
On the contrary, the Great Seer, the Emancipator of the present age, the Founder of “Santan Dal” Janmasiddha Thakur Sri Sri Balak Brahmachari Maharaj has foretold long ago about the future events which are unimaginable but infallible. From the very onset of the so-called Netaji Plane Crash story, so enthusiastically propagated across the world, He has been advocating all along, “ The story of the Plane Crash is totally false and that Netaji is still alive. He has a great plan to fulfill and with that intention he went out of the sight propagating the tale of Plane Crash himself.”…..” Netaji is not only alive, he will return as a world-leader.”….”Netaji is not alone. Along with him four other great persons are staying, whom the world knows as dead. Among them there lies the world terror Hitler.”……” Not only the India Govt, but the great worldly regimes know very well Netaji’s whereabouts and activities of the moment. But they are unable to do any harm to him as he has achieved the divine grace of ‘Sakti’ through sadhana (spiritual way).”….”The day is ahead when the nation at large will learn the heinous conspiracy which is all along being motivated against Netaji till now by the so-called national leaders of the past and present, they will become furious and will drag down their portraits so reveredly hung on the walls, will spit to them and ultimately throw into the dustbins.”……” And keep it noted, as soon as he re-appears, the so-called fake leaders and patriots will find no way to flee.”
The question may come –“who is this Balak Brahmachari? What is the object of His incarnation? Where is His superiority? To understand that we have to study primarily the reality of the Nature, and its inevitable rules. –Wherever we behold in the Nature, we will find that the Time Eternal is moving through the unending space with two-prong diverse forces such as high-tide, full-moon—new moon, day-night, winter-summer. Whenever one attains its extremity the other appears and vice versa. And there is no power in this universe which can resist or break this system. This system of Natural law teaches that at the end of every Era (Juga) i.e. Satya, Treta, Dwapar and Kali, when vile forces become rampant: heart bereft of love and affection, gloom loom large with decadence everywhere and above all when women folk are outraged and ill-treated blatantly and atheism prevails, the Super Power will descend on the Earth to re-establish the state of equality among the people with the sense of love, respect, affection, pity amongst each other. The history of the bygone Eras—Satya, Treta, Dwapar bears the evidence.
It is the fag-end of Kali-yuga we are passing through. Love, affection, pity—all the tender qualities of human folk are in oblivion. Tyrannies, malpractices, adultery—all are rampant in the society. Evil-doers are in the upper hand everywhere. This is the overall state of affairs which fulfils the conditions for the advent of the Supreme Power in order to eradicate them.
And accordingly we have heard the thunderous cautious warning delivered among the mass: “I will abolish the system of separate religions. All over the world there should be sole religion, sole ethic, and sole ism. The whole world will be brought under one society and one administration. With that object I have brought in the unique Organisation named ‘Santan Dal’which actually means a worldly family consisting of all the off springs of the Mother Earth irrespective of caste, creed, religion, and nation. And to meet that end, if necessary, two-third of the world population would be annihilated.” Not only at this moment, He has been preaching to this effect from His very boyhood. He is the complete-self by birth. That is why he is called ‘Janmasiddha’
He needed no preceptor, nor did He require any austere ascetic practice. In His childhood spiritual powers and miracles such as healing incurable diseases, enlivening the dead, foresightedness, reading of other’s mind etc. were found manifested. He has been giving initiation from the age of 5 years 3months only, which is difficult for common belief. And at present His disciples count to 8 Crores. But astonishing as it is, he never took a single paisa as ‘pranami’ in return, which is customary in the present day society.
He has kept the people warned from His teen on different occasions by predicting in different speeches such as: “I will demolish all individual abodes and international barriers so as to bring the whole world into a single family.”…. “I will transform the present day Universal ‘Pathshala’ into a Vedic University so that each and every being—living and to be born, will get the state of liberation in true sense automatically. For that no rituals or asceticism will be required. So to say no superman needs to descend on Earth for spiritual guidance in the coming 50 thousand years.”…..”A day is coming and that also is being brought by you—my beloved disciples, through endless chanting of the hymn ‘Rama Narayana Ram’, when a woman of paragon beauty set with valuable ornaments may go in slumber in an open street at night without any risk whatsoever”. ……”I have come here not to mere by initiate like other ‘Gurus’, also not to get the degree of ‘Avatar’, the god-incarnate. I have come to demolish the devils—the evil forces of the society.”…….”If required, I will transform my form of preceptor into that of Destructor.” …….”In that case, I will take recourse to the Nature which teaches us the real communism through destruction like flood, earthquake etc.”……….”I will disclose myself as a Devil, but depart as God manifested”. Practically, through His camouflage of ‘death’, nay ‘Nirvikalpa Samadhi’, He has been propagated all throughout the world as a Devil. The other part of His prediction, i.e. Manifestation as God is yet to happen.
The Third World War is imminent. The world-stage is already set accordingly. This will transform into the Second ‘Kurukshetra War.’ Long ago he has kept predicted to that effect. It was the year 1943. The Second World War was on along with its destruction. Some of His disciples asked him, ‘How long will this War linger?” In reply He said, “This war will end with some destruction. But another war is looming large which will entail a great devastation. And that will eventually be the last war in this world. Thereafter, long-lasting peace will prevail.”
On 17th March, 1968, in reply to an asking of the news-reporter, he told, ‘None of the present day parties will exist—neither the Congress nor the United Front. An altogether new party like this ‘Santan Dal’ will evolve. The reporter enquired, “How?” He replied unequivocally, “Through war and war only. A conflict will be going on between India and Pakistan until the former is overthrown by the latter. And at that very moment, 50, 00,000 strong Netaji’s Asian Liberation Army will enter the Indian Territory as the saviour. Simultaneously, Russia and China will join them. And thus the Asian Bloc will be offing. Santal Dal being the part and parcel of that unity, will render services on that account.”
In this way, Netaji and our Supreme Father will appear. His revolutionary prediction in this regard is worth-quoting: “As soon as Netaji re-appears with his force, the truncated Bengal will re-unite instaneously. And thereafter, the States like Afghanistan, Tibet, Burma, Ceylon, Hindustan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh will unite to form Greater India, once which was in reality. Formation of the Asian Bloc will just follow it.—And thereafter the coveted ‘World Union’. All these will happen one after another within a short span of time. The Great Kurukshetra War lasted for 18 days. The New Kurukshetra War will terminate by 7 days only. What will be the form of the forthcoming World Union—World family? Netaji, the fully enunciated saint will be seated as the President of the then World State with his all-loving motherly heart. And his Asian Liberation Army will be given the responsibility of serving the World Family selflessly. By this time, the world has been liberated in true sense. So, the Word ‘liberation’ will lose its significance. This will be replaced then by ‘Santan’ i.e. the word ‘Liberation Army’ will literally be converted to ‘Santan Army’—Santan Bahini. Actually it is those who will be real Santans—real Vedic warriors of the forthcoming Spiritual War. Then all the problems—political, social, economic would be solved so easily! By then different sects, cults, communities, nations have been abolished—all the barriers have been broken. All have come under the purview of the Nation—one family. None needs to endeavour for their lively-hood individuality or separately. The state will bear the burden like the parents. The areas of abundant growth will be treated as go-downs, wherefrom all the products will be distributed equally among the World Family members according to their needs.
At the onset monetary system will be abolished, as money is the root-cause of all evils like inequality, corruption, dacoit, kidnap, killing, quarrel, battle, even war. All the Bank Accounts will be frozen. From multimillionaire to beggar—all will be brought on a common platform—which in the basic principle of the Vedic Communism i.e., Nature’s Universal Law.
Children need not think about their livelihood, as parents bear the burden. Likewise the state will take whole responsibility of the World Family. In return, everybody will have to serve the Family in either form, as suited to his ability cum efficiency. The President as well as the Sweeper shall enjoy equal rights and dignity.
Works will be easy to perform. Everybody joyfully and earnestly will do their duties just like the family members having the works distributed among themselves.
All these may seem impracticable and illusory. But it is most real and material as evident from the inevitable evolution theory of high-tide—ebb-tide, full-moon—new-moon, day—night. And for this transformation, a powerful super-natural entity sets in action such as the moon, the sun and as on. According to the very Natural Law, a great Spiritual being descends on the Earth at the fag-end of each Era when vile forces become rampant in every sphere of the society, when envy, hatred, infidelity, adultery, rivalry, injustice rule the law, and dawns the Era of peace, love, faith and tranquility.
The present age is the tail-end of ‘Kali’. So, according to the Natural Law tyranny has become rampant all around the world. That is why the advent of New Messiah Thakur Sri Sri Balak Brahmachari Maharaj, that is why the creation of the unique ‘Santan- Dal’, that is why they have been provided with the Vedic hymn “Rama Narayana Ram’—the greatest power-media of the universe, that is why the prolonged and patient waiting of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and his liberation Army.
Once a news reporter asked,” what’s your relation with Netaji that you often talk about him? Do you use his name for your publicity” Thakur retorted, ‘I need not take his name for my publicity, I, myself is sufficient. Why I tell about him, you will learn from him after his return.” The reporter wonders, “He is now nearing the century. If returns at all, what can he do at this old age?” Balak Brahmachari clarified unequivocally, “His age has increased by years no doubt, but when he returns, you will find him as an active of 40-45 years’ old.
Long ago, in a separate context, he affirmed to his disciples, “When I initiated Netaji at ‘Darjeeling’, his relations present there remarked, “Lord Krishna and Lord Arjuna of Dwapara are unified once again.” However, though indirect, He let His disciples and devotees know the historic parts to be played by them in the present Era. In fact, the age-old history confirms this dual entity of the great saviors coming on the Earth and that is why their names are uttered jointly such as Ramachandra-Vir Hanuman, Krishna-Arjuna, Nemai-Netai, and Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. In this Era too, the names of Balak Brahmachari-Netaji Subhas will be tagged together. The oncoming future will provide the evidence.
