The peak of globalism was Obama and Macron. Two men, two continents, the same casting. Young, polished, brilliant speakers. Perfect résumés. Total ease in front of a camera. Able to electrify a rally in Ohio and charm a room full of CEOs in Davos in the same week. They are excellent actors. I mean that without irony. Public charisma is a real talent, and they have it at a rare level. But look at what they actually embodied. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize nine months into his presidency. Before he had done anything. They weren't rewarding a record, they were rewarding an image: a post-national world run by institutions and experts. Macron is the European version of the same product. A movement founded one year before the election, no historic grassroots base, carried by the economic, media and administrative elites. "Neither left nor right." Translation: attached to no people and no history. Just the efficient management of globalization. Their whole software fit in one sentence: the global market, supranational institutions and experts know better than nations what is good for them. Unlimited free trade. Deindustrialization sold as modernization. Borders treated as an archaism. Sovereignty treated as populism. They weren't the architects of this project. They were its faces. The best salesmen it ever had. When you need millions of people to accept that their factory is moving to the other side of the world and that it's for their own good, you don't send a gray technocrat. You send someone who knows how to talk. That's why footage of Obama at a rally rings so hollow today. Same tone, same inflections, same staging. But the audience has changed. They've seen the movie. They know how it ends. And the project they carried is dying everywhere. The US is back to tariffs and reindustrialization. Europe is finally talking about energy, military and tech sovereignty. Borders are a legitimate topic again. Supply chains are coming home. Covid proved that a country that can't produce its own masks isn't modern. It's vulnerable. Macron is at 15% approval, his lowest since 2017. Obama is back on the rally circuit, and the magic is gone. But the most revealing part is what came after them. The system can no longer produce an Obama or a Macron. Nobody that charismatic, that polished, that smooth. There are two reasons for that. The first is arrogance. For fifteen years they won without really fighting. The media was on their side, the elites aligned, the opponent demonized in advance. When you win too easily, you get lazy. You stop caring about the casting. You stop working on the script. And it shows: less polished, less prepared, less credible. The second runs deeper. Truly brilliant people no longer want to enter this system. They know it has no future. Fifteen years ago, an ambitious young prodigy aimed for the elite schools, Harvard, high civil service, the big international institutions. Today they start a company, they build, they go where things are moving. Nobody signs up for a sinking ship. So look at the bench. In the US, they ran Biden. A president whose cognitive decline was obvious to everyone except his inner circle, who spent months hiding it. Then they swapped him out in a panic for Kamala Harris, who couldn't answer a simple question without drifting into word salad. After Obama, that's a staggering fall. In France, same movie. Attal is Macron on a photocopier. Same codes, same lines, none of the depth. He announced his presidential run from a village square in rural France to make people forget he's a pure product of Paris's wealthiest neighborhoods. Everyone sees the set. Nobody buys it. And on the left, the new great hope is Glucksmann. Son of a famous philosopher, Brussels MEP, darling of the Parisian salons. He talks about the nation and the working class with the polish of a dinner party in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The words are right. The voice isn't. They all sound off. Like instruments out of tune. You still recognize the score, but nobody wants to listen to the concert anymore. That's the first sign of a dying system: it no longer attracts the best. All it has left are heirs and imitators. Charisma isn't enough when reality contradicts the story. What comes next won't necessarily be better. But it will be different: leaders judged by what they build, not by how well they tell it. The age of actors is over. Make way for the builders.

As with the aarati of Ganapati being SOS (legend being it was composed during Afzal Khan's attack on Swarajya) seeking help from ganesha at the utmost need, same is the aarati of Bhawani/Durga by Ramdas swami. प्रसन्नवदने प्रसन्न होसी निजदासा दुःखापासून सोडवी तोडी भवपाशा अंबे तुज वाचून कोण पुरविल आशा नरहरी तल्लीन झाला पदपंकजलेशा Same for Hanumaan aarati. The Vigraha that Ramdas Swami worshipped was that of angry warring Hanumaan bringing dronagiri mountain. all his temples are of vigraha in this form. even his famous Marathi Maruti Stotra is of Hanumaan in this form. This is what we chant traditionally every day (Hanuman Chalisa is relatively very new in MH). दुमदुमिले पाताळ उठला प्रतिशब्द धगधगिला धरणीधर मानिला खेद कडाडिले पर्वत उडुगण उच्छेद रामीं रामदासा शक्तीचा शोध
