"There was a time between the waning age of enchantment and the dawning age of logic when dragons flew the skies, free and unencumbered. Look down there, Gorbash my friend. On the top of the earth below us, confusion and chaos reign. All mankind is facing an epic choice: a world of magic or a world of science. Which will it be?"
"The worlds of magic and logic must exist side by side, not destroy each other!"
"The world, though it does not realize it, cannot live without magic! Man hears of the dragon's impenetrable skin and lo, he makes armor, battleships, tanks. A fairy flies, and furiously jealous, Man himself defies gravity with machines he will one day call airplanes. A magician looks into his crystal and sees and hears halfway around the world.

If Man is to surmount the insurmountable, there must always be magic to inspire him. The world needs magic. Magic cannot die."

"Cute little fellow! Awkward, and helpless. Named him Gorbash, in honor of the contest. For it was rather gory, and I did get a bit bashed about."
"[to Gorbash/Peter fighting the Ogre] No, lad, no! What're you doing?! Ah, no! You let 'im get a grip on you! Ah! Blazes! [to the Ogre] Hey! Hey you! Let that schoolboy go! [They fight; thunder crashes.] Ommadon's comin'! You think he's gonna help you?! [They fight on; both die]."
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.
