"Wie Motten lockt der Glanz die Mädchen an."
"Was glänzt, ist für den Augenblick geboren; // Das Echte bleibt der Nachwelt unverloren."
"Was der heutigen Welt trotz allen äußeren Glanzes, ihrer Erfindungen und Wirtschaftswunder fehlt, ist jenes Mindestmaß an Güte, Mütterlichkeit, Erbarmen, Takt und Zartgefühl, welches der Welt des Mannes durch die Frau zugeordnet ist."
"Vielleicht brächte ich es so weit, in Glanz zu leben, aber ich hätte dann alles andere nicht, meine absolute Freiheit und mein Leben für mich."
"Es ist nicht alles deutsch, was nicht glänzt."
"Der christliche Glaube ist eine großartige Kathedrale mit göttlich bebilderten Fenstern. Steht man draußen, sieht man keine himmlische Herrlichkeit, noch kann man sich überhaupt eine vorstellen; steht man in ihr, enthüllt jeder Lichtstrahl eine Harmonie unaussprechlichen Glanzes."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
