MESSAGE FOR DR. S. RADHAKRISHNAN
78th
BIRTH-DAY COMMEMORATION VOLUME.
***
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan can be mentioned
as the best and the most out –standing example of the universal respect in
which a Vidwan is held by the civilised world (विद्वान सर्वत्र पूज्यते). The word
Vidwan literally means one who knows the Vidya….
Among those Indians in the last
hundred years who have been chosen by the Almighty in my humble opinion for
this noblest mission Dr. S. Radhakrishnan is one. From the days of Ramkrishna
Parma Hansa and Swami Vivekananda, there has been an unbroken line of teachers
India has given to the world to interpret the gospel of the Upanishads to
enable it to see the essential unity of the creation and establish the
brotherhood of man. The work done so far by S. Radhakrishnan is a complete
vindication of those fundamental propositions which were for the first
time revealed to the Vedik Rishis and expounded by them in the Nasadiya Sukta
of the Rig Veda….
…It is, therefore, a matter of
great gratification to the people of India as well as the people of other new
developing countries of the world that the services of a pre-eminently
spiritual Professor like S. Radhakrishnan are available to the world. In his capacity as
President of the Indian Democratic Republic, he comes in contact with the whole
world. His voice for promotion for brotherhood of man, his strong denunciation
of methods and movements based on the pernicious doctrine of class war and his
earnest plea for one world government are heard with rapt attention and
consideration by the intelligentia of the whole world. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan is
an oracle that is proclaiming from the housetops as it were to all men and
women the basic principles which the Indian Vedantists have found essential for
the stable growth of human happiness and
thus to turn the earth into an abode of Gods to live. Man is made in the image
of God. Radhakrishnan’s mission is to make him aware of it.
