Those brothers and sisters, who have uniformly extended help (sahayoga) with whatever they had – body, mind, money – and have been extending from the day of establishment of Shree Sadaashiva Aashrama and installation (pratishthaa) of Balaatibalaa Mahaa Shakti Peetha till day, and those brothers and sisters, who have been doing mantra chanting (japa tapa aadi saadhanaa) with pure (shuddha, sarala) heart, are qualified (adhikaaree) for great (mahaana) merits (sukruta).  They have been enjoying the non-failing (amogha) fruit(fala) of the merits in this birth or will enjoy hereafter and they will get fruit of certain merits in future birth, but know firmly (nishchaya poorvaka) that, in any circumstance, the fruit of this great merit can never go in vain (vruthaa).

Many learned (vidvaana) intelligent (buddhimaana) saints (santa), priests (mahanta), acharyaas have been trying to establish heavenly state (rama raajya) on Indian soil (bharata varsha).  But, there is no effort at all to drive away (nivaarana) the terrible defects (dosha) lying in such efforts or in doers of such efforts.  For Rama Raajya, there should be kings like Rama, brothers like Bharata, Lakshmana, Shatrugna, mothers like Kaushalyaa, teachers (guru) like Vashishtha, devotees (bhakta) like Hanumaana, friends like Sugreeva, duty-bound-wives (dharma patni) like Seetaa.  Such ideal(aadarsha) souls (aatmaa) will not fall down from sky (aakasha).  Unless such ideal souls are in abundance (prachura pramaana), only propogating (prachaara) of Raama Raajya or seeing defects of each other, neither peoples’ life (loka jeevana) will improve, nor Raama Raajya will be established.  First of all, it is unavoidably necessary to put efforts on a large scale and collectively (saamuhika) to improve peoples’ life.

Is it not the duty (faraja) of you, the learned (vidvaana) class (varga) to study (adhyayana) arya shastra and explain and teach to the subjects (prajaa) class (varga), what the real (vaastvika) religion (dharma) is? Do you, the learned class have not that capacity, that can resist (pratikaara) properly (yathochit) the irreligious act committed (adharmaacharana) in the name of religion? Or, you want to be free of your duty, as learned men just by blaming (nindaa) the religion and the religious books (shastraa)?  If you are really learned, you are at the place of society (samaaja) head (shirsha), and so the responsibility of the other limbs (anga) of the society, i.e. the common subjects (prajaa) is on your head.  You, the learned class come together in-the-best-way (susanmilita) and decide (niranaya) as to what the real religion is, what its character is.  And accordingly, bind (baadhya), compel the government, the race (jaati) and the society (samaaja) to observe the proper religious code (suvihita dharma vidhana).  You know that what duty (kartvaya) is, is also religion (dharma).  Do you know that the person, not observing his-own-duty (sva kartvya) is irreligious (adharmee)? If you know, observe (paalana) the duty (kartya) befitting to the learned class as head of the society (shirsha sthaaniya), and recognize as real duty performer (dharmaatmaa), you cannot be free of duty (kartavaya mukta), just by critising the religion and religious books.
