"Ecco altre isole insieme, altre pendíci Scoprian alfin men erte ed elevate. Ed eran queste l'isole felici; Così le nominò la prisca etate, A cui tanto stimava i Cieli amici, Che credea volontarie, e non arate Quì partorir le terre, e in più graditi Frutti, non culte, germogliar le viti.'Quì non fallaci mai fiorir gli olivi, E 'l mel dicea stillar dall'elci cave: E scender giù da lor montagne i rivi Con acque dolci, e mormorio soave: E zefiri e rugiade i raggj estivi Temprarvi sì, che nullo ardor v'è grave: E quì gli Elisj campi, e le famose Stanze delle beate anime pose."

About the hill lay other islands small, Where other rocks, crags, cliffs, and mountains stood, The Isles Fortunate these elder time did call, To which high Heaven they reigned so kind and good, And of his blessings rich so liberal, That without tillage earth gives corn for food, And grapes that swell with sweet and precious wine There without pruning yields the fertile vine.The olive fat there ever buds and flowers, The honey-drops from hollow oaks distil, The falling brook her silver streams do

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.
