CHAPTER 6 MY OATH OF SELFLESS SERVICE TO MOTHER INDIA

CHAPTER 6 MY OATH OF SELFLESS SERVICE TO MOTHER INDIA

When I wrote in my 2014 letter:

“I am one of those who is looking forward to an opportunity to dedicate myself in the service of my mother – Mother India, without any self-interest, without any desire for name, fame, power and money,”

I was not making a statement. I was making an oath.

An oath that had been forming inside me for decades. An oath that was born out of pain, pride, and purpose. An oath that was the natural outcome of everything I had witnessed while travelling through India’s sacred geography and the world’s great civilizations.

For 35 years, I walked through ancient temples, archaeological sites, forgotten villages, libraries, and monasteries. I travelled to more than 60 countries, learning how the world preserved its history while India allowed hers to be broken. I saw how truth was distorted, how India’s contributions were erased, and how her spiritual light was dimmed by invaders, rulers, and colonial administrator with each discovery, my resolve grew stronger. With each injustice, my commitment became deeper.

This was not academic research.

It was tapasya. It was sadhana. It was a calling.

And when a calling touches your soul, the ego dissolves.

I never sought recognition.

I never sought position. I never sought wealth.

In fact, I received many opportunities that another person might have embraced:

I was offered a political seat by Vishwa Hindu Mahasabha in 2019 — I declined.
Franchise India proposed 200 Green Mall outlets across India — I declined.
Reliance invited me to set up Green Mall inside their supermarkets — I declined.
Well-wishers urged me to apply for national awards — I declined again.

Why?

Because service becomes impure the moment self-interest enters it.

My heart knew that if I accepted power, position, fame, or money, even indirectly, my voice would lose its purity. My mission would lose its independence. My words would lose their weight.

Mother India does not need servants with desires. She needs servants with surrender.

I chose surrender.

When I paused my environmental mission in 2013–14 and shifted to Mount Abu, I did not go there for comfort. I went there to empty myself, to purify my mind, and to seek strength from the Divine so that I could write the truth without fear or hesitation.

In that silence, one thing became crystal clear:

Service to Bharat Mata must be unconditional. Unattached. Uncompromising. Free from all expectations.

That is why, in my letter, I offered myself without asking anything in return. The sentence may look simply, but it contains my entire journey of inner transformation.

“To serve Mother India without self-interest”

means:

To speak the truth even if it brings no approval
To stand alone when others stay silent
To reject benefits that dilute purity
To write for the nation, not for applause
To act from duty, not desire
To choose sacrifice over comfort
To remain independent of political, religious, or institutional influence
To follow only the divine guidance of Ma Prakriti
To continue even when the nation does not immediately respond

This is why I remain free— free from party politics, free from ideological cages, free from institutional pressures, free from expectations of reward.

My only bond is with Mother India, and my only longing is to see her true history restored.

A nation rises not through governments alone,

but through citizens who serve without asking anything in return.

This chapter is my declaration that I am one such citizen— humbled by truth, purified by purpose, and dedicated entirely to Bharat Mata.
