"The god who is the most powerful of all the great gods, the supreme of the might, and of the supreme the greatest, and of the greatest the sovereign, Osiris. (Apuleius)"
"The divine Dionysius testifies that all created things are nothing but mirrors in which the rays of divine wisdom are reflected for us. From this the Egyptian sages created the image of Osiris who, entrusted to Isis, invisibly permeated the whole world. What else can this mean than that the power of the invisible God penetrates intimately into everything? (Athanasius Kircher)"
"In a myth such as that of Osiris we must therefore not only look for the reflection of astronomical events, but we must see in it the result of the profound clairvoyant knowledge of the ancient wise Egyptian priests. They introduced into the myth what they knew about the evolution of the Earth and of men. (Rudolf Steiner)"
"Coptic: ⲟⲩⲥⲓⲣⲉ ousire, Coptic pronunciation: [uˈsiræ]; Phoenician: 𐤀𐤎𐤓, romanized: ʾsr)"
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.
