I am not Hindu,
foreigners have given me this identity
This is not my identity
I am not secular,
The government in past has given me this identity
I am not Aryan or Dravidian,
Historians have given me this identity

I am born on this land which is called
Aryavrat, Bharat Khand, Jammu Dvipa
Without any foreigners enforced identity.
I am human and this is my true identity.

I worship everything,
I respect everything,
I care for everything,
But I surrender to the Truth
And not to any God of any kind,
Because I didn’t believe in any one God
Word, God is again a foreign term for me.

I know the Truth manifests in many forms,
In an unmanifest state, I call him Brahman
In the manifest grand visible form, I call him Ishwara
When I pray to particular aspects of Ishwara,
To seek help I call him Devta and Devi.
I am a human, so I have a million types of desires.
Hence, I pray to those many types of Devta-s or Devi-s.

I am sick of this term secular,
I am utterly confused with this word.
I don’t understand the real meaning of this
When everything in existence
is of the God and God itself,
When everything in the existence is sacred,
Then how to assimilate this idea of secular?

When I teach I am Brahmin,
When I protect I am Kshatriya,

In full-time money-making business, and
Live alone without a home, without my society,
And without my people around
for the most part of my day to day work.

Samskrut is a language
In which even today 35 million manuscripts,
Are not even understood by today’s society
I think there is a lot to learn from the old text.
But they call Samskrut is old,
It is a Hindu language.
It is a dead language.

They use the court to force my priest to pray,
in any other language but Samskrut.
For years, I could not learn my own language
because they fooled me and
Today I cannot understand
That old language of wisdom
Forget about science, politics, mathematics
Ayurveda, astronomy, war science, etc
I cannot even understand the basic prayers in Samskrut.

I am sick of this secular and

Then attached all negative to this.

You decide your name
Don’t give me any name and identity
After you define yourself,
Whatever is left is me.

Let me live and die without identity
I am Dharma driven
But this Dharma for me
changes based on time, space,
situation and relationships.

Don’t call me Hindu, and then
show me your superiority of being secular

And throw that upon me.

For politics, people need identities and Ideologies

One who doesn’t cage me in his words is my friend.

For my survival, I need the support of society and power.

Deserves my appreciation and vote.

Not those who give me unnecessary identity
Not those who claim themselves secular
Not those who claim themselves religious

I am Arya, the Nobel one
Citizen of this planet
I don’t know my origin in the space
But on the banks of Sindhu, Ganga,
Yamuna, Sarasawati my ancestors thrived
And fought for their existence.

This definition of secularism makes me sick
and ignites unnecessary politics.

O Pratibimba, you can call me Hindu,
That shows your helplessness to define me
But I am not secular nor I am religious
I am bonded to my Dharma – relative responsibilities and duties
And I live in Moksha (freedom),
Live for Moksha – free from all evils of Human life.

Hari Om Tat Sat
Yours Truly Hari
