"Mit der Stirn kann man eine Wand nicht durchstoßen."
"An der Stirn ist auf der Stirn."
"Wer das Tier und sein Standbild anbetet und wer das Kennzeichen auf seiner Stirn oder seiner Hand annimmt, der muss den Wein des Zornes trinken, der unverdünnt im Becher seines Zorns gemischt ist. Und er wird mit Feuer und Schwefel gequält vor den Augen der heiligen Engel und des Lammes."
"Was für eine vorzügliche Einrichtung, daß die Gedanken nicht als sichtbare Schrift über unsere Stirne laufen. Leicht würde jedes Beisammensein, selbst ein harmloses ..., zum Mördertreffen."
"Von der Stirne heiß // Rinnen muß der Schweiß, // Soll das Werk den Meister loben, // Doch der Segen kommt von oben."
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.
