"The mainstream church is not what it should be, there was an absence of zeal for the truth and an absence of loving self-sacrifice for our Lord Jesus Christ. Most people loose their faith at university, but I actually found my faith there, it's bizarre, but I can only attribute it to other people's prayers, and I decided to only to the masses of the Society of Pius X. The Society of Pius X, really is the only organization that teaches the faith integrally and practices it too, it doesn't make compromise, it's difficult to justify in many people's minds, as they accuse us of disobedience, but in the effective moral absence of a hierarchy which is sanctifying the faithful, the Society of Pius X is filling that void."
"Having the faith and living the faith opens you up, in fact it is quite the opposite to the accusation that it is causing us to be inward looking, on the contrary, having the faith turns the lights on in the world."
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.
