HAR HAR MODI

                                      HAR HAR MODI

        The chanting of "Har Har Modi,Ghar Ghar Modi" has hurt Swami Swarupanand Ji Maharaj,Shankaracharya of Dwarikapeeth.He complained to RSS Chief Sri Mohan Bhagwat Ji in this respect.I am not aware what was the response of RSS Chief but BJP clarified that this slogan was not given by BJP.It reiterated that BJP`s slogan is "AB KI BAR MODI SARKAR".
        AAJ TAK carried out a programme at 04.00 PM from Varanasi on this slogan.One of the scholar said that Har Har Mahadev is a Mahavakya coming from ancient time and that it is a  prayer to Lord Shiv to remove all obstacles in life.He further said once BJP said that it is not its slogan, chapter is closed.But Ms.Anjana Om Kashyap did not stop and continued to interview people.She asked Akhilesh Pratap Singh who as usual condemned this act of sloganeering.
          Now the question is :- Are people justified in raising this slogan?
          People reacted that since people are oppressed for the last 60 yrs. and Modi is seen as a man of devlopment,such a slogan is justified.He said that it should not be connected with the religion.Others also justified it on various grounds.But people were enthused in favour of Modi.
        Let us also examine it according to our scriptures.Hindus have diverse ways of worshiping unlike other religious denominations.Ways are diverse but goal is one, to reach the Almighty. Some worship Lord Shiv,whereas others worship Lord Vishnu in His different incarnations like Lord Ram or Lord Krishna, but they are not adverse to each other rather they compliment each other.Some worship Shagun Swarup but others worship Nirgun Swarup.It is a matter of own perception.
        Bhawan Ved Vyas ,apart from expanding four Vedas,created eighteen Puranas in praise of different deities who are followed by their devotees. One Purana is not in condemnation of others.They at times are seen as a bridge to connect each other.It again depends upon one`s own perception but do not creat animosity amongst the devotees.
         The Rig Veda says :- Sarve Khal Vidam Brahman. It means God is verily in every thing.
           Isha Vasya Upanishad says:- Isa Vasya Midam Sarvam, Yad Kinch Jagtyam Jagat.It means God is present in every thing.
           Srimad Bhagwad Gita says:- Ishwarah Sarva Bhutanam.It means God is present in every thing.
          Such is the perception of our scriptures.If God is present in every being,why this kind of objection is being recked up particularly by Dharm Gurus.Our Constitution guarantees freedom of expression to every one,why this fundamental right is being tampered with.It should be left to the wisdom of people who have to exercise this right unless it is against public order or morality.
          However, the controversy has been rested by Sri Narendra Modi himself who by tweeting said that he respects the sentiments of the people but would like them not to raise this slogan.
