on B.G. Tilak

SB taught some Astronomy to Mr. B.G. Tilak, it was said. He was Gandhi's political Guru, He was a great national leader who coined the word SWARAJ and declared it as his BIRTHRIGHT. Did he know about RL? If so, did he practise it?
 

Not only a great leader, he was also a great scholar and excellent lawyer of his time,Tilak wrote his great book The Gita with a little pencil in the Andaber Nicober Islands, where he was undergoing a life-sentence. Max Muller, the celebrated writer, had pleaded for him with the then British Government. He was a selfless worker, a Karmayogi, who believed that the Gita was a document of Karmayoga. Unfortunately for India he died soon. Otherwise the history of India would have become quite different. No, Tilak did not know about RL, at least in the way SB taught us. He did not seem to practise it. Actually, he was too busy in active politics; he had no time!
