A group of Indian youth smiling

Please understand, I am not against American civilization, I am not against western civilization, but I just wanted to let them know - do not teach us how to live. That's all I am saying. Don't use your terrorist media on us and steal our next generation from us, don't rob our people from us. It pains me when I see that our next generation do not do anything about life and they are in the same depression which a teenager in America goes through.

Maybe American kids go through it because their forefathers only worked for bridges, dams and aircrafts. But Hindu kids,

Indian youth, don't need to go through this suffering, because our forefathers worked for a blissful life and created the best lifestyle philosophy.

It is not that we did not have the technology for dams and roads. We built whatever is required. The oldest dam still alive in the Planet Earth is the Kallanai Dam built on Cauvery in South India. Do you know, it was built in stone, something like 2,500 years before, when there were no machineries available to divert Cauvery, which is a living river. It is a very powerful technology. They put big rocks, and let the rocks sink in the mud. And then the next rock was dropped from the boat. They had special boats which had ramps at the back. They just dropped the rocks, and they settles on one another and the foundation was created. Just that way, on a living river they built a dam.

Just a week before, in Srirangam Temple, they found that there was an illegal construction next to the temple compound wall. So they wanted to study the strength of the compound wall to restore it and remove the illegal construction. When they dug a borewell and checked, they found that the foundation of the wall went up to twenty-seven feet. And you need to know, Srirangam is on the Cauvery island. Even now, you cannot dig more than four feet. After four feet, you will get water. So how did they build the wall? How did they dig and drain the water and build the compound wall? They used the same technology! They slipped huge stone blocks into the water which sank to the river bed, and they put more stones on them, till the slabs came up to the surface of the water. Then, elephants were made to walk on those stones slabs. If ten elephants walked twenty times on a stone, and the stone was not sinking, the foundation was considered done. That's a clear technology. What happened to the science or art and architecture? You cannot imagine rebuilding Ranganatha Temple; the amount of work done. You can't imagine rebuilding Tanjore temple.

It is not that we did not do all these things. But I tell you, our ancestors have done so much more than that. They have done everything needed for the best civilization. O Youth of India! Go back to the original source of your ancestors. I tell you, you already suffered for the last 60-70 years with the so-called Independent India, free India, and the dirty ideas of freedom, along with your dirty jeans. It is enough. It is enough. Move, move, move back to the original source of knowledge.

Even our medicine is literally dead. Millions of things we know about herbs and medicines is dead, because, for at least a hundred years, all the sons and daughters of the traditional doctors have stopped listening to their parents. They have become clerks. Now the modern-day clerks are IT engineers.

It is so unfortunate that all the Indian laws are completely against stability, in the name of pseudo-freedom. What will you do with that freedom? When we started imitating Western laws, Western values, we destroyed all the best things of India.
