Is Anna Hazare a true Theosopher?

A quiet revolution has just taken place across India, perhaps unnoticed by western media. A frail, 72 year old man from a remote village in India sat on a fast unto death for 5 days in New Delhi demanding action against corruption by agreeing to a draft bill which will bring into office a central ombudsman, termed as "Jan Lokapal". His argument being that since all investigating agencies are controlled by the government, the corrupt always get away. Therefore, action against the corrupt must be in the hands of those outside the government. After 5 dyas of dithering, the government led by the Prime Minister gave in and acceded to all his demands.

During his fast, Anna Hazare received unprecedented support from the Indian public, particularly from youth, who otherwise were dubbed as uninterested in nation's affairs. Thousands fasted in his support. It was like Gandhi's times. There was not a single incidence of violence reported anywhere. All political parties were forced to declare their support as it would have been political suicide for them to either oppose it or appear neutral.

For me, even greater achievement of his has been the creation of environmentally sustainable society which are also prosperous. Agriculture without chemicals, Rain water harvesting, Energy from Biomass, Rise of the Prosumers, everything can be seen at the villages that he has brought out of abject poverty, hunger and crime.

He has not written any books. Nor does he profess to be intellectual. Just common sense, traditional wisdom and simplicity is his hallmark. His life is his message.
