The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c11.s8.30

c11.s8.30

If our Mother India is great and divine because she gave birth to a Śākya the Buddha (Awakened), let us all worship our Mother India as equally great and divine because she produced a Viṣṇugupta-Chāṇakya, the Kauṭalya or the Kauṭilya (Cunning or Crooked). It is in this worship that we do justice to the glorious "positive background" of Hindu sociology as furnishing the folk-elements, the materialistic complex, the worldly group-consciousness and the rationalistic perspectives of India's transcendental and spiritual achievements. Kauṭalya completes Buddha.
