If we examine our rich history, there was a yagya performed called Samudra Manthan. Yes, as proud Hindus, we should refer to it as Bharatiya History and not merely a mythological story. There is a reason why this yagya was performed in the first place, but for the purpose of this blog, we will set that aside. In this Manthan, both the gods and the devils participated. The yagya was conducted to obtain Amrut, a divine elixir that would render anyone who drinks it immortal and powerful. Lord Vishnu instructed the gods to collaborate with the devils in performing the yagya. He also directed all the gods not to engage in conflict with the devils until they had secured the Amrut. Clearly, the Samudra Manthan would yield not only the Amrut but also another 13 Ratnas.
If we observe geopolitics from a bird's-eye view, every time there has been a power shift, it has emerged through Manthan. The victors of those times adhered to Vishnu's order of refraining from conflict until they obtained the elixir, which comes at last. Our recent history shows that the US did not engage in world wars at the beginning. When they aspired to conquer the great mighty Bharat, no foreign power directly went to war with the princely states. Similarly, it is my belief that the world will soon begin to churn the Ratnas, namely, power, leverage, and strength. A yagya must be performed for this purpose. With the current military and economic conflicts unfolding in the world, we can clearly observe how this is taking shape.
The Bharatiya leadership will determine whether we emerge as winners or not. Leaders should navigate this very cautiously, ensuring that only Bharatiyas and supporters of Bharat get to drink the elixir of leverage and power. The Manthan will also churn Lakshmi, representing wealth, Kamadhenu, signifying knowledge, and Vish (poison), which embodies the criticism, humiliation, interference, and disrespect faced for the stances that a country takes.
Poison:
In the historical context, when this came out as a Ratna from the Samudra Manthan, the lord Shiva drank it; that's why he is called Neel Kanth (Blue Necked). Today, disrespect, foreign interference in internal matters, criticism, and humiliation are like vish. Most of the countries can't digest them and still grow their strengths. Bharatvanshis have to do that. There are enemies of our Mighty Bharat, which we know that they are, and there are enemies who project themselves as friends, and when the time comes, they will take a stand that suits them. Anyway, we shouldn't blame them. I always believe that a country is on its own, and those who blindly depend on others for their security and economic prosperity are bound to lose their sovereignty in the long run.
Kamadhenu:
The Bharat has to make sure that this Ratna stays within its borders. This Ratna signifies knowledge and consciousness. The greed for power among the other players will make sure that it never goes to them. During that time, we will have to be very careful of the choices we make, and rationality has to be with us.
Lakshmi:
When the Manthan is happening, we have to make sure that we welcome Lakshmi, that is, wealth. The power won't come if we don't have the blessings of Lakshmi, and she can't stay at a place where Narayan doesn't reside. Therefore, we need to worship Narayan and follow the path shown by him. The greed for power has historically kept the major players away from harnessing the blessings of Narayan and goddess Lakshmi and that is why after Manthan they find themselves lost, even though they might have been on the winner's side, as the new world order is set according to the wish of the one having Lakshmi's blessings, everyone can search for Bretton Woods agreement on google to know how.
Amrut:
At last, the divine elixir will come; in today's context, it represents power (both hard and soft), dominance, leverage, and strength. In history, when the Amrut arrived from the ocean, all the devils rushed towards it and began quarreling among themselves over who would get to drink it first. Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini, a beautiful lady, and took the jar from the devils, promising that all the devils would get their share and she would distribute it evenly among them. Mohini, with her elusive beauty, distracted the devils and distributed Amrut to the Gods. After distribution, Lord Vishnu revealed his original form, and the devils realized that they had lost the battle for power, leverage, and strength. Similarly, our leadership will have to be elusive while quietly harnessing power, strength, wealth, and leverage. We must conceal our strengths and patiently wait for the right moment.
If we follow the guidance that Lord Vishnu gave to the Gods before the Samudra Manthan, a time will come when the world, especially those who are greedy for power, will recognize that Bharat has emerged as the dominant superpower. They will then understand that despite their greed for leverage, power, and strength, the one country that has the all-mighty Narayan on its side, humbly harnessed the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and endured the bitterness of disrespect and underestimation, has ultimately become the most powerful nation.
Why Bharat? Because I hold a deep belief — perhaps a bias — that no other nation has the innate spirit to unify the world the way Bharat does. Bharat exists not for dominance, but for global well-being. Yet, to serve others meaningfully, we must first possess the right tools, strength, and leverage to do so. Just look at Operation Ganga—citizens of even Pakistan took refuge under the Indian flag to escape a war zone. That’s the strength of our Tiranga, even though we aren’t labeled a “superpower.” Yet, when Bharat speaks, the world still listens. Who championed the inclusion of the African Union into the G20? It was Bharat. Who led the world’s largest vaccine program, not just for its own people, but also extended help to others? Again, it was Bharat. During that same period, Western powers were hoarding vaccines—some stockpiling enough for 11 doses per person. They even attempted to block critical components needed for Indian vaccine production, trying to push their own products into our market. But Bharat stood firm, resilient, and generous.
Jai Hind...
Indian interests are above ALL...
This blog was written on 26/12/2024, and I was waiting for some initial signs before I could publish it. First, it was the economic chaos following April 2nd, the OPERATION SINDOOR, OPERATION RISING LION. The RU-UKR conflict is also one such sign. One more thing, I will be publishing my next blog, which is a kind of sequel to my DRILL BABY DRILL: INDIA'S LONG-TERM SOLUTION, very soon. I will present my views on recent developments in the ANDAMAN SEA.
Stay tuned till then....
