Swami Shraddhanand
Introduction
Swami Shraddhanand was one of the Hindu leaders getting killed by the murderous tradition of the Hindu haters. He was killed by a fanatic by name Abdul Rashid on 23rd December 1926. Realising the psychology of Hindus about getting directionless if their leader directing them gets killed, the Hindu leaders are being killed by Hindu haters in a very systematic manner. 125 people from Sangh Parivar have been killed in the last some years in Kerala. Swami Laxmananand was killed in Orissa in 2008.
Whole life having been spent nurturing faith in Veds and Vedic Dharma, He naming himself as Swami Sharaddhanand
Swami Shraddhanand alias Lala Munshiram, got initiated into Vānaprasthāshram (Third stage among the four stages of life, retired householder) at the age of 35 and He became Mahatma Munshiram. He established a Gurukul (A residential school system prevalent in ancient Bharat, where teaching on all areas of life, including spiritual practice was done by Gurus or Sages) at Kangari region near Haridwar in 1902. In the beginning His 2 sons, Harishchandra and Indra were His students and Mahatma Himself became the Acharya (Teacher). At present thousands of students are studying there and Gurukul Kangari is now an University. Munshiram served in Gurukul continuously for 15 years. Later in the year 1917, Mahatma Munshiram got initiated into Sanyāsāshram (The last among the four stages of life, namely, the stage of a renunciant). While speaking at the time of initiation ceremony, He had said that I will name myself. Since I have spent my whole life nurturing Veds and Vedic Dharma and will keep on doing the same in future, so I am naming Myself as Shraddhanand.
Swami Shraddhanand's active participation in the freedom struggle !
Swami Shraddhanand’s mission of liberating the country was invaluable. ‘Marshal Law’ in Punjab and ‘Rowlatt Act’ were forced upon Bharatiyas. There was agitation in Delhi against the oppressive ‘Rowlatt Act’. Swami Shraddhanand was leading the agitation. There was ban on processions then. Swamiji announced challenging the ban that, a procession will be held in Delhi. Accordingly thousands of patriots had joined the procession by the time it reached Chandani Chowk. The Gurkha regiment was ready with guns, bayonets etc. at the command of the British. Brave Sharaddhanand reached the venue with thousands of followers. He came forward fearlessly when they were about to shoot and roared loudly, before killing the innocent people kill me first. Immediately the bayonets were lowered down and he procession went ahead peacefully.
Victim of murderous tradition
A Muslim fanatic by name Abdul Rashid reached Swamijis residence at Delhi on 23rd December and said that, he wished to discuss Islam with Swamiji. He had covered himself with a blanket. He had hidden a gun inside the blanket. Mr. Dharmapal who was in the service of Swamiji, was accompanying Swamiji. So he could not do anything. He asked for a glass of water. After giving him water when Dharmapal went inside taking the glass, Rashid fired gun shots at Swamiji. Dharmapal had caught Rashid. By the time people gathered there Swamiji was no more. Action was taken against Rashid. Thus Swami Shraddhanand was the victim of murderous tradition of Islam; but He attained martyrdom and made His Name immortal
Brave renunciant giving a speech reciting Ved Matras at Delhi’s Jama Masjid !
Swami Shraddhanand had given a speech at Delhi’s Jama Masjid in the year 1922. He recited Ved Mantras first and gave an inspiring speech. Swami Sharaddhanand was the only one to have the honour of giving a speech reciting Ved Mantras. This was an extraordinary moment in the History of the world.
