"To prepare for this consummation, Ramdas preached in the living present: Places of pilgrimage have been destroyed, homes of the Brahmans have been desecrated, the whole earth is agitated; Dharma is gone. Therefore, Marathas should be mobilized; Maharashtra Dharma should be propagated. The people should be rallied and filled with a singleness of purpose; sparing no effort, we should crash upon the Mlencchas."
Ramdas, also Samarth Ramdas or Ramdas Swami, was an Indian Hindu saint, philosopher, poet, mystic and spiritual master. He was a devotee of the Hindu deities Rama and Hanuman.
