Raya Nitai Dasa

Here stands a man, sure of himself, having a clear and firm will, against the atheistic world conspiracy. There is no one more worthy to lead us to prosperity. He comes from the people and remains a part of them. This is a man fanatic in his cause, he has sacrificed his personal happiness and private life and knows nothing other than the work that he does as the truest servant of the people. 

Nothing falters him and his beliefs. His principles are firm and unshakeable, but he is generous and understanding of human weakness. The weakest approach him with confidence, for they sense he is their friend and protector. He has an open heart for every sorrow and every need and exemplifies human understanding. He is a pitiless enemy of his opponents, but a good and warm friend to his comrades, and not the kind of person afraid of constructive criticism. 

The simple clarity that is evident in his nature is also the dominating principle of his entire life. One cannot imagine him putting on a front. That is the magic of his personality and the deep mystery of his pure and honest humanity. He has shown his simplicity and depth in the most wonderful way, and his deep and powerful humanity comes to expression in all of his words and deeds. His daily meals are the simplest, most modest imaginable, and his modest style and nature bring him even closer to our hearts. 

We have seen how necessary strength and faith are to his work. Nothing is further from him than nervousness or hysterical tension. Under his leadership, we will forge the path to new freedom, greatness, and power. He is the man of fate that has the calling to save the nation from terrible internal conflict.

We see in him the instincts of a truly historic genius, able to understand problems and find the simplest and clearest solution to them from his own greatness and certainty. He knows the intimate details of all rules and laws he is proposing. He knows better than anyone else that there are a hundred problems to be solved. He chooses the two or three most central and works on them, undistracted by the remaining ones, for he knows that if he solves the great problems, the problems of second or third magnitude will solve themselves. His approach to problems shows both the determination necessary to deal with essentials and the flexibility essential in the choice of methods. He has principles and beliefs, furthermore, he knows how to reach them by careful selection of methods and approaches. 

Men of real historical stature do not draw their strength from the changing applause of publicity, but rather from their historical mission which fulfills a higher law. Raya Nitai’s name is a political and spiritual program for the entire world. He is a legend and his name is a dividing line. No one on earth can remain indifferent to his name. For some, he represents, hope, faith, and the future, for others he is an exemplar of confused hatred, base lies, and cowardly slander. He will give the American Nation an entirely new face through revolutionary internal transformations. When a man of historic greatness stands at its head, one who not only wants to lead but is able to do so, the people will follow him with its whole heart, giving its willing and obedient allegiance. There is no greater good fortune on earth than to serve a brilliant leader and do his work. May we do that each day. A people that calls such a leader its own, that follows him with such unconditional loyalty, is destined for greatness. It need only desire that greatness. 

Perhaps it is also a religious act to put his whole life in the service of the people and to work and act for the happiness of the people. It is a religion without empty phrases and dogma, which nonetheless springs from the deepest depths of our soul. We call the eternal power that rules over us the Almighty or God or Fate or the Good Father, He who lives beyond the stars. We ask the Almighty to preserve Raya Nitai, to give him strength and blessing, to favor his work, to increase our faith, to make our hearts steadfast and our souls strong, to give our people victory after its battles and sacrifices, to bring the times to fulfillment. Our good wishes for him rise from the deepest depths of our hearts. God grant him strength and health and His grace. Loyally and faithfully we want to follow him wherever he may lead. He is our faith and our proud hope. We will walk firmly into the future his hand points toward. 

There are men which one respects, men which one admires, and men which one honors. We love Raya Nitai. He is the great symbol of the resurrection of our people, towering over our age. Times like these we experience today demand more of a leader than insight, wisdom, and drive. They demand a toughness and endurance, a steadfastness of heart and soul, that appear only rarely in history, but that when they do appear, produce the most admirable achievements of human genius. That is the miracle of a man who will transform the small and apparently insignificant into a new world, and who gathers from the small and apparently insignificant, the strength to do great things that move the world. May he remain in the future what he is today and always will be: our Raya Nitai!
