"Each one of the world’s teachers when they come are misunderstood, and the first thing we do is strike out at them, behead them, hang them on a cross or whatever. Here mankind waits thousands of years for the coming of someone to help the unity of mankind, and then when he comes, they throw him in jail for 40 years and torture him. I was more or less trying to speak for the human race — presumptuous, I know — saying we were sorry."
"Oh hummingbird Mankind was waiting for you to come flying along Heavenly songbird We were so wrong we've harmed you Oh hummingbird Lend us your wings Let us soar In the atmosphere of Abhá Lift us up To the heaven of holiness Oh source of our being Oh humming……bird Hummingbird don't fly away fly away Hummingbird don't fly away…"

"Makes no difference Where you are Day or nighttime You're like a shining star How could I Shine without you When it's about you That I am? Whoa-oh, oh, oh Diamond Girl Roaming wild Such a rare thing Radiant child."
"Life So they say Is but a game and they'd let it slip away Love Like the autumn sun Should be dyin' But it's only just begun Like the twilight in the road up ahead They don't see just where we're goin' And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears All the years will come and go Take us up Always up We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again."
"Dreams So they say Are for the fools and they let 'em drift away Peace Like the silent dove Should be flyin' But it's only just begun."
"So I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy I wanna cry if makes it worthwhile I may never pass this way again That's why I want it with you 'Cause You make me feel like I'm more than a friend Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end I may never pass this way again That's why I want it with you Baby We may never pass this way again."
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.
