Bal Gangadhar Tilak (Marathi: बाळ गंगाधर टिळक 23 July 1856 - 1 August 1920), was an Indian nationalist, teacher, social reformer and independence fighter who was the first popular leader of the Indian Independence Movement. The British colonial authorities derogatorily called the great leader as "Father of the Indian unrest". He was also conferred with the honorary title of Lokmanya, which literally means "Accepted by the people (as their leader)". Tilak was one of the first and strongest advocates of "Swaraj" (self-rule) in Indian consciousness. His famous quote, "Swaraj is my birthright, and I shall have it!" is well-remembered in India even today.
Tilak was among one of the first generation of Indians to receive a college education. Tilak joined the Indian National Congress in 1890. He opposed its moderate attitude, especially towards the fight for self government. He was one of the most eminent radicals at the time.
In 1891 Tilak opposed the Age of Consent bill. The act raised the age at which a girl could get married from 10 to 12. The Congress and other liberals supported it, but Tilak was set against it, terming it an interference with Hinduism.
His most famous book is The Arctic Home in the Vedas (1903) in which Tilak claimed that Vedic hymns and Avestan texts might reveal that the North Pole was the original home of Aryans during the pre-glacial period, which they left due to climate changes around 8000 B.C., migrating to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia. The book had great influence on Hindu nationalists as on European far-right groups.
Bhagavad Geetha (Gita) is always a book which inspired scholars, both Eastern & Western. So many were intrigued by it. There are many translations & interpretation were made to it, in many languages, worldwide. There are numerous books on Gita are written in all Indian languages. This book, Sreemad Bhagavad Geetha Rahasyam a href="http://buy.mathrubhumi.com/books/math..., is in Malayalam, the famous South Indian Classic language. The original book was written in Marathi by Lokamanya Balaganadhara Thilak in Yarwada Jail, during freedom fighting from British Empire. This was translated to Hindi by Madav Sapre, which was approved and accepted by Thilak. It is very beautifully and lucidly translated to Malayalam by (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan, the greatest Vedic scholar of recent times.
This book contains Antharanga Pareeksha, Bhairanga Pareeksha, original slokas in Sanskrit, meaning, interpretation and comparison of Eastern & Western religious comparisons.
Note As a follower of Vedic school of Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati (founder of Arya Samaj) continued by (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan (whom I consider as my Manasa-mental Guru) in Kerala, I strongly believe that Indian (Eastern) Philosophies can be expressed better in Indian (Eastern) languages than English. I felt (sorry to say) that "English language is insufficient, inadequate, inappropriate and inefficient language to express Indian Philosophies, especially which are in Sanskrit language.
Life transforming!It's the supreme secret! I have always revered Bal Gangadhar Tilak as a great freedom fighter,astounding orator and writer. Although the book is very tough to understand, it is worth reading. The book is a precious gem of his career! and certainly one of the precious gems on the earth!
