Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was an intriguing and inspirational figure. In truth I wouldn’t have thought much about him, but my Spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy saw in him some very illumining qualities.
Netaji braved all
To build a Heaven
Even in hell’s despair.
– Sri Chinmoy [1]
In particular Netaji embodied great heroism and had the power to unite the Indian people
“In the name of God, in the name of by-gone generations who have welded the Indian people into one nation and in the name of the dead heroes who have bequeathed to us a tradition of heroism and self-sacrifice, we call upon the Indian people to rally around our banner and to strike for India’s freedom.”
– Netaji
There is an article here “Replaying History” by Vidagdha about her recent visit to some significant places in Netaji’s life.
