""Mir ist es egal, warum die Leute ins Theater kommen"
"In der Christenheit unterscheiden sich die Kirchen nach ihren Lehrbestimmungen. Von daher nennen sie sich Römisch-Katholische, Lutheraner, Calvinisten oder Reformierte und Evangelische usw. Man nennt sie so lediglich aufgrund ihrer Lehren. Das wäre durchaus nicht der Fall, wenn sie die Liebe zum Herrn und die tätige Liebe zum Nächsten zur Hauptsache machen würden."
"Gott ist Quatsch, Leben ist die Hauptsache."
"Fangen wir mit der Hauptsache an."
"Courage ist gut, aber Ausdauer ist besser. Ausdauer, das ist die Hauptsache."
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.

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.
