"HER dovelike Eyes ten Thousand Charms dispense, Breathing at once both Love and Innocence. Behold! adown her Neck the wavy Locks Frisk, like exulting Kids o’er Gilead’s Rocks. Her Ivory Teeth in beauteous Order stand, Like Sheep new-wash’d and whiten’d on the Strand; When, dropping from the Flood their snowy Skins, Each with her Lambs appears, and each with Twins. Her Lips like Threads of Scarlet brightly glow; In sweetest Sounds her moving Accents flow. Around her Cheeks soft circling Tresses shine, Just as the tender Ringlets of the Vine Round the plump Fruit their wanton Curls entwine. Her marble Neck the sparkling Gems adorn, As blazing Phosphor gilds the rosy Morn, Shap’d like the lofty Tow’r in Sion’s Fields, Studded and hung with Warriors mighty Shields. Her Breast, where Love and all his Graces dwell, Pregnant with Bloom and ripening Beauties swell; Like young Twin-Roes that graze the verdant Meads, With Buds just sprouting from their velvet Heads.Her slender Feet, most lovely to behold, Are cas’d in Purple Buskins wrought with Gold; Her well-turn’d Legs and full-proportion’d Thighs, Charm by Degrees, and with new Beauty rise; The Joints with Dimples smiling; and above, The Spring of Bliss, the bubbling Fount of Love. Plump is her Belly, but how smoothly plain! Like Fields of Wheat impregnated with Rain; White as the Silver Lilly’s snowy Bloom, Swelling with Dew, and fragrant with Perfume. Her even Breasts like the Roe’s Younglings play, And panting bound luxuriant as They: Like Velvet Buds the crimson Nipples rise, Firm to the Touch and grateful to the Eyes. Fair as an Ivory Column’s tow’ring Height, Her lofty Neck advances to the Sight. Her Eyes reflect the Fountain’s limpid Hue, Clear as the Sky and of a heavenly Blue, Like Beams of milder Light, divinely Fair, Bound back and braided shines her silken Hair. The King, in passing, her bright Form admires, And feels within his Breast soft kindling Fires; Held in the Galleries a Slave to Love, Intent He gazes, and forgets to move."

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.
