Dedicated to my friends in Swami Tagore Math and the Jan Sangh.
Cleanliness is not just a science as is purported by hospital-like and hotel-like and pharmaceutical-like hygiene strategies and tactics and it's not just about being tidy, neat and clean the way the waiters and airhostesses and escorts and doctors who actually don't bathe regularly, weekly or even monthly purport it to be.
Cleanliness is a craft that is intrinsic to Indian culture. Right from the ritual worships of God and Goddess to the daily life of an Indian person no matter what work the person does an Indian in India knows exactly what the craft of cleanliness and being clean means.
An Indian knows exactly what it means to be clean in each moment with each thought, each word and each deed.
The art of cleanliness in India is not necessarily Hindu or any other religion per se. It exists in everyday life in the way we cook, in the way we take care of our drainage systems and sewage systems and in the way we cut vegetable and fruit and cook our daily meals. It exists in the way we treat our homes and surroundings, our communities and our relationships and in the way we carry out trade and commerce and in all aspects of our lives. It exists as a canvas we paint on each day. Manifesting wishes is intrinsic to all those whose birthplace is India as a true Indian is tied intrinsically to the Motherland and Mother Nature which is rich in all sorts of foliage and fauna and rich in spirit.
The fact that India is a majority Hindu country is a moot point when it comes to the larger scheme of things. As to the debate over whether cleanliness is Godliness India is the birthplace of all the major religions of the world and all the major philosophies of the world. India is the country that is most closely tied to God and with its history of invading marauders only India has survived the onslaught of many attacks on its spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood and its intrinsic sense of harmony and peace.
In India exist no prostitutes or sluts. In India there are no whorehouses or slaughterhouses. In India the woman is worshipped in all her various avatars and the man as he carries out his daily chores of all manner. No other country but India can tell the world exactly how cleanliness is indeed Godliness and this is something that cannot be taught but has to be lived just as an Indian does in each moment. It's only because prayers for immortality were cast in India that India has stepped into Shangrila Cha Palace and embraced Paradise.
Just like the Narendra Modi-led government of India designed the most beautiful Swacch Bharat Mission Abhiyaan only in India could such a massive exercise of cleanliness be carried out just the way God willed.
The various beautiful colourful culturally rich tribes of India are most dear to me personally. Their arts and craft, their way of living, their mud houses and all sorts of natural houses are designed in a manner that the water they drink is always clean and the Indian village air is so crisp and beautiful and the sunsets and sunrises in India are much more beautiful than anything you may ever see whether it be in Tel Aviv or in California or any other part of the world. If you are against India or Indians in anyway in matters of cleanliness or any other ness you work against God which is the greatest folly that has led to several wars and carnages as was in the Nirbhaya carnage in which an Indian girl was sacrificed for some fourth reich in Russia.
So it goes without saying that Indian culture is basically CLEANLINESS IS GODLINESS. Our maati is the cleanest because we Indians are clean and sweetest and sweet people are always clean because they toil for Mother Earth and work for Mother Nature and bathe in the sweat of all their daily tasks as if drawing of the nectars of the many natural springs that exist in India's hinterland. India for me it goes without saying is the greatest country in the whole world and I love my Motherland the most and worship it in each moment and so should you.
The greatest drug is well-cooked Indian food and the greatest therapy really is desipanna.
All Indian marts are the best places to shop and everything Indian is truly gold, platinum and diamond and rubies and all things Indian are truly precious.
Now let me explain to you what I mean. What exactly is cleanliness? And why cleanliness is Godliness? To achieve this high pristine level of cleanliness every Indian bathes in Mother Nature's natural cool waters and that is why for each Indian work is worship and that is the great warship and the great paushyaep.
1. Bodily cleanliness
Each day Indians bathe with natural soaps and natural goods. Each day an Indian chooses fresh clothes and washes clothes with pristine care. There is nothing like cheap sturdy Indian footwear in the whole wide world. And there is nothing more comfortable than desi textiles and desi fabric and desi cotton and desi silk and desi wool and everything desi. There is nothing better than Indian cosmetics and Indian creams and Indian soaps which are cheap because Indians are naturally friendly and love the whole world.
2. Emotional cleanliness
Indian songs, Indian dance and Indian works of art whether they be classical or modern like filmmaking have taken the whole world by storm a long time ago. So it goes without saying that Indians are the cleanest emotionally because they know how to laugh and cry naturally and live their emotions to their full natural length and breadth rising sometimes to a crescendo and plunging sometimes to a baritone and all Indians are naturally emotionally healthy because we Indians are the masters of bonds and bonding.
3. Space cleanliness
Indians are natural masters of art and architecture. All our religious places of worship and all our monuments stand testament to the fact that Indians know exactly all the secrets behind space science and architecture and know how to keep the places of their abode and work clean just the way God would.
4. Community cleanliness
Indians naturally love animals and eat vegetarian meat which is cultured from the sewage system through the process of seeding. In India a guest in the house is worshipped as if some real Godly form has entered our places of abode. Indians are the best friends in the whole world and today in India animal sacrifices and hunting and animal dissection in laboratories has been banned and is illegal.
5. Drainage system cleanliness
Indians are natural at treating their waste products and sewage with such precise pristineness that Indians produce the best paper, best ink, best paints, best canvases, best paintbrushes that are all biotechnologically produced through waste by the sewage department. This work is carried out worldwide by an Indian company called Doel Enterprises Limited that runs the postal services.
6. Food cleanliness
Pure sattvic food in India is not bland. It is rich in the natural spices that grow in India's heartland. India's wholesale food marts work with such precision that Indians are masters at eating natural fresh healthy food each day cooked with vegetables and fruit and spices and crops that grow all over the country. An Indian knows naturally what to eat and drink when ravaged by ailments and a true Indian doesn't really need a doctor or a hospital.
7. Business and commerce cleanliness
In India there is such vibrant diversity of culture and tradition and thousands of languages and various tongues are spoken here. The motto of the Indian constitution is Satyameva Jayate where each Indian naturally upholds Truth as a way of life. Hence Indians are truly the greatest in trade and commerce and the masters of real economics and real import export and all the stuff that makes business. India is a democratic socialist country where we honour fundamental rights and also work hard being truest to our calling and vocation.
In India there has been no known case of theft, stealing, forgery, replacing the superior with the inferior, fraud, moneylaundering, copying or plagiarism by true-blooded Indians per se.
8. Cultural cleanliness
India's handlooms and other such cultural entities like the ceramics and indigenous bone china and artworks and craftworks and various forms of dance and singing and other cultural manifestations show how clean Indians are in artistic endeavours with Truth and the true spirit of artists who are closely tied to God and Mother Nature. Indians are the best at logic and reasoning and have a pristine thought process in all matters of life.
And hence, Indians are truly clean in aritistic and cultural matters!
9. What does it take to be neat?
An Indian's abode of work and living are the true embodiments of neatness and tidiness. Indian government offices have such a precise filing and recording system and Indian libraries are so precise and efficient that Indians must be the most neat and tidy too. That is why in India our philosophy is cleanliness is Godliness. Our dust is also clean because we worship our maati.
Finally, to take cleanliness away from such uber patriotism the art of cleanliness lies in worshipping love and life and courage with magic granted by Nature's bounties ensuring the safety and security of our virtuosity and goodness.
Finally, when you toil for Mother Earth and bathe in Mother Nature's sweat as you worship life that is the best feeling of Godly cleanliness. And even God has a bath each day and so should you. Because.
Cleanliness is Godliness.
