Barendra Ghose, who had studied history and political literature at Baroda, where Arabindo was a Professor in the Gaekwar's College, had originally intended to start a religious institution, and whilst he edited the _Yugantar_ he founded a hostel for youths attending "National" schools.

The _Yugantar_ set itself to preach revolution as a religious even more than a political movement.

Its profession of faith is to be found in an article headed "The Age of the Gita again in India":-- God (i.e., Khrisna in the Gita) has said, "Oh, descendant of Bharata, whenever there be a decline of righteousness and the rise of unrighteousness, then I shall become incarnate again.

I shall be born in every Yuga [era] to rescue the good, to destroy the wrongdoer, and to establish righteousness." In the _Dwapara-Yuga_ [the era which preceded the present _Kali-Yuga_, or era of darkness] when righteousness was on the wane and unrighteousness was springing up in the sacred land of India under the hands of Duryyodhana and other miscreants engaged in wickedness, then God, by becoming incarnate again and awakening his favourite disciple Arjuna to duty, re-established the kingdom of righteousness in India.
At the present time righteousness is declining and unrighteousness is springing up in India.

A handful of alien robbers is ruining the crores of the people of India by robbing the wealth of India.
