In response to this inflammatory pronouncement   by the scion of a major Tamilnadu political party, calling for the eradication of Sanātana Dharma, the spiritual bedrock of the Hindu culture striving to be a civilizational state, Dr. Karan Singh, who has the highest of respect across all sections of enlightened society, made an impassioned plea. 

Then there was a sharp un/fortunate rejoinder by a major Hindu religious seer calling for the beheading of above political scion, with a juicy bounty attached for the deed. It's un/fortunate because of course for the beheadee it is unfortunate, and for the messenger bearing such head it could be a fortune.

Always a his-Story

It is likely that his choice of words were a fulminating response to the oft-yelled phrase सर तन से जुदा, sar-tan-se-juda, a war cry for heads, variously attributed to:

• jihādi violence, in the invasions of the recent millennium, particular of Hindu kāfirs, with metrics of the height of such heaps dutifully recorded as having fulfilled a most important religious duty,

• bounty hunters collecting scalps of Injun's in America fulfilling the near-religious edicts lauded as American exceptionalism, later iconified in the Hollywood movie Inglorious Basterds.

• fantasy tales like Alice in Wonderland where the Queen demands such punitive action.

 Apt Response

Violent responses are increasingly also the hallmark of the Tāmasic Hindu, in these divisive times. Of course, no one is immune to the dark fascination of seeing heads being lopped off in dim theaters, but limited please, to the theater of the Mind. Unfortunately it sometimes leaks into physicality.

We propose the correct response would have been to "call for the eradication of all corrupt political dynasties" that have grievously entangled the social fabric of the Hindu civilizational body into such intricate positions that only a psychologically twisted  Hatha Yogi could have envisioned in some dark fantasy.

Bhāratiya Kundalini

This correct response is the hiss of the serpent that awakens, to its hiss-story. So in that sense, it threatens the genocide of the dynasties, in as much as natives too, perceive the threat to the resurgence of the Hindu civilization, yet unstoppable in its inexorable climb toward a civilizational-state. 

The Bhāratiya kundalini is now roused - but not to get too carried away by fate or prophecy, for that is hardly the Yogic model. It's all based on karma - and when we understood exactly how we engineer the resurgence of the mass psyche, it becomes self-fulfilling. 

Samdura Manthan

Nothing defines Bhārat quite like the search for identity - and now the whole of it is arisen, in a collective churn.

For that, we owe the political scion, scumbag may he be, an eternal debt to spark the fulfillment of this vision. We will be rid of rot in Tamilnādu politics. Much like what is happening verily in the center too. 

As to whether we are moving to fascism, an oft-toted strawman, such a statement is blind to the power of self-evolution, as guided by Dharma - which is essentially sustainability, which when qualified by Sanātana indicates forever. So where is the fascism that can withstand Sanātana Dharma ?

Yoga Pedantics

The last line in the rejoinder by the seer says :

"Sanātana Dharma neither has a beginning nor an end. It has never been destroyed and can never be destroyed," he said, warning that anyone trying to destroy Sanātana Dharma will be destroyed

If he didn't want to take pointed stand, about eradicating corrupt political dynasties, he should have simply stated that alone. 

Being nitpicky about the grammar he used, his outcry for the beheading was phrased in an active voice construct quite unbecoming of Sanskrit statements which are mostly in the passive voice - for a very good reason, of usually letting the Divine strike as per Karma. And stepping back to watch the fun.

Maybe the Swāmi-ji could clarify his statement with the following :  

Although I made a knee jerk rejoinder to the oft-yelled सर तन से जुदा cry for Hindu heads, but we are clarifying that we are not wanting any human to take such gory action, and inflict bodily harm. 

He should further expound on the Yoga perspective of Karma, as would befit a pontificating Swāmi-ji. After all, isn't that what pontiffs are supposed to do?

Yoga of Karma 

At the yogic level, there are many instances of human heads being replaced with that of animals eg prajāpati Daksha’s and Ganesha’s, with heads of goat and elephant, respectively. A Yogic allegory, where head replacement indicates reforming our petty ahamkār, with an injunction to contemplate the natures of such particular animal’s thoughts which are normally very focused, and hence brings about positive shift in the psyche. 

Full Clarification

Having expounded as such, the swāmi-ji could then finish off with :

We wish no individual will deliberately kill the disbeliever, but we do invite the Divine to trigger that his karma will strike him - and post that event whoever brings a darshan of his new head, body attached, will receive said bounty. 

We trust the political scion's karma will result in his proper thinking for benefit of the civilization state that we aspire for. 

Sanātana dharma means forever sustainable, and upholds an integrated vision of humanity, with each working towards this common as per the efforts of our individual  sva-dharma.
