I am a Rahul admirer for his hard work and truthfulness.

Rahulji is the political spiritual leader in India . Only good human being could understand that noble man

Man of the moment... no doubt...May God continue to bless you more and more... three cheers for our RaGa...

Mr. Rahul is a true leader. Great thoughts

What a wonderful principal. He admitted his mistake and has the courage to make amends for it. This is the true character of what Christian colleges teach. St.Stephens have made great men out of all their students.

I am unapologetically a Rahulji Bhakt …feel proud to be on the right side of humanity ❤❤❤❤

As I view Rahul Gandhi today, Dear Valson Sir, he has indeed become the Man of the Moment. Glad you published this video, and had the maturity to make amends to Rahul ji. He has to endure much mental& emotional suffering. I find that he always reaches for the positive in his pain - for my Nation, and for my people. He could have left India, he's stayed. He could have left politics, but he stayed( despite every diabolical manoeuvre to malign him). He exerted himself, physically & mentally, to KNOW & EXPERIENCE this Bharat, he left the AC comfort of his chair. The way he meets people in crowds, he hugs, he holds, he smiles, he listens- as if he's worn his life & safety on his short- sleeved white T Shirt. Today he's committed himself to a role which will be confronted by combative & unjustly exercised power. He stands between the last vestiges of our Democracy & Authoritarian Autocracy which has stolen our voices. No wonder in his maiden speech he spoke about the voices he wishes to represent.

What a wonderful exposure of a former student Mr.Rahul Gandhi by his own former teacher or by the former college principal himself as the 'Man of the moment'. May God bless you both..teacher and the student.🙏🙏

Rahul ji deserves this admiration from people who definitely believe that Rahul Gandhi will bring the desired changes in the present situation of this wonderful nation. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you Sir

Well explained Rev Thambu👏👏👏 God will bless Rahul Gandhi with success..... No one in this Country has been more humiliated than him by the BJP , their illiterate, blind supporters & the biased GODI MEDIA.....but he , Rahul pressed on in humility & honesty with a good heart!!! Rahul will be rewarded as "God exalts the humble & brings down the proud & arrogant!!!" 🙏❤🙏

I am overwhelmed by the way this great teacher from the most respected institution,told us the truth and the whole truth. The fact that he humbly apologised shows us how tall a man he must be . We need to salute him and humbly learn from him! Brilliant.

Country needs him and his services badly, good luck Rahulji 👌👍🙏

Only A Teacher is able to assess a student and l really admire your assessment regarding Rahul, hats off to you Sir for being so vocal about Rahul, God bless you Sir, for your courageous admission 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rahul is a wonderful human being and has the heart in the right place. He is also blessed with a great upbringing. It's not easy for a dynast to behave the way he does..

When someone is speaking with absolute WISDOM we should listen and learn.

I have no issues in admitting I am RG Bhakt for longest time even when ppl were ridiculing him because he is fine humble compassionate empathetic human being. For me this is the base & on top u build whatever u want to become. May b a good professional politician or anything else. If the base is not of good human being nothing sustains. Wishing very best to RG!! Thank you for the this video & God Bless 🙏🏼

He fights hard to save our democracy. A true patriotic leader. May God bless his efforts

Yes ! The man of moments .. and for long long time .. takes lndia ahead 🙏

Rev.Valsan Thambu, I have met you only once some years back in Thiruvalla. This video has increased my appreciation for you.This is what a teue Christian should do

Good job, Sir...God bless you for your sincerity and self realization...may truth prevail always as it will!

Tip my hat at you, with tears because of the goodness in you Sir.❤🎉

I sincerely thank you for sharing this thought with the nation. I also feel that Rahul Gandhi,s steadfastness in believing that you go on doing good things to society without expecting any fruit. But good Lord sees everything and you will be blessed.

RAHUL GANDHI JI IS GOD'S GIFT TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY INDIA. HE RAISES THE VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE PEOPLE AND OF COUNTRY. SOME PEOPLE SPENT LOTS OF MONEY TO SPOIL RAHULS IMAGE. THEY FAILED MISERABLY. GOD BLESS YOU RAHUL GANDHI JI.

I'm all for Gandhis family they have sacrificed their lives for the country my respected leader Nehruji Indiraji and Rajivji All my blessings are there for him as our future Prime minister

I congratulate you sir because you showed the courage to tell the truth which many people are afraid to say though they are 100% sure. I am an admirer of RG.

I rather be a Rahul Gandhi supporter , not a bhakt I'm sure Rahul Gandhi wouldn't want bhakts.

I do feel the same sir. Thanks for the video.

SRI RAHULJI HAS A GREAT AND HOLY SOUL. MAN FILLED HIS SOUL WITH IMMENSE LOVE FOR HIS COUNTRY, HIS COUNTRY MEN & WOMEN, POOR PEOPLE, UNDER PREVILEGED , IS UNBELIEVABLE. RAHULJI WE INDIANS ARE PROUD TO HAVE YOU BETWEEN US,AS FELLOW CITIZENS. WE LOVE YOU RAHULJI. MAY THE ALMIGHTY BE WITH YOU BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU ALWAYS.

I am also admirer of Rahul Gandhi and never got swayed by any propoganda . I believe in the Idea of India of our forefathers and I believe that the very idea has been hurt by ruling dispensation and Rahul has proved the he can fight with the help of the people for that Idea.

I salute you brave and sincere acknowledgement. Yes we all need a true guide to deliver every citizens in India from tradition, culture and religious slavery. We should be able to live with free of fear. We all should be peace maker and uphold our dignity as an Indian. Hope one day it happen

Very graciously spoken. No wonder RG has such a gentle heart

Your true students are very lucky to learn from a philosopher 🎉

Thank you sir for so candid about your views for Rahul gandhi.Rahul gandhi is very different leader .

Thankyou Br. Thampu for speaking the truth about RaGa. It's never too late. Our good vibes about him now will certainly go a long way as he experiences the love n affection of the people of India now. Every cloud has a silver lining. We will certainly see good days ahead if we believe that he can shoulder our Nation not with arrogance but with love. Thankyou Br. Thampu for your thoughts! Jai Hind ❤

True, I too believe, Rahul is the ' MAN Of the MOMENT '. Thankyou for being honest to tell it aloud. Though many may not understand the message, there are at least some..the Yatra has really begun.. thank you for articulating the truth, which I too wanted.

A real teacher .

Great opinion by a teacher about his student,now Andhbhakts will create a teacher of Modi to counter this 🥹

Thank you sir for coming out openly and talking the real truth..Your English is awesome

Very pleasing , powerful and clear speech. Thank you Prof.Thambu sir. I have great appreciation for your clarity and thoughtfulness on the subjects you are presenting. I have become a fan of yours now. God bless you.

Raga great human ,heart full of love for everyone.My leader TAPASWI

A real leader that I saw in Congress party. I surely believe that he can make a big difference in Indian politics. God bless him. 🙏🙏

We should always go for Goodness. We should reject people who abuse authority. We should reject people who divide the citizens on religious grounds. We do not need a person who jails opponents.

Great thoughts. I used to like Rahul Gandhi since 2012 for his sincerity, simplicity and uprightness. I knew sir, all the name calling and denigration of Rahul's character was orchestrated by malafide intentions by vested interests but unfortunately the sun has peeped into his terrain a bit late but I am an optimist, an optimist who has burnt all his bridges of opportunities that lent itself and allowed it to go abegging. .Rahul will rise once again like the proverbial Phoenix from the grave as it were. I liked your lucid thoughts sir that i can say with a lot of affirmations that such thoughts can come only from a Professor of substance and mettle. I dont know you Sir but one of my thoughts are i wished i was one of your many students. 👍

U r truly a great man. A man with a conscience which people of today especially in politics do not know of its existence

RgGa is a good man in the horrible atmosphere of Politics.

Im a fan of Rahul Gandhi ji. For his steadfastness, honesty, his love for the people of this country and his stance against the RSS and the facist government. I give my 100 support to Rahul Gandhi ji for his ideology and his truthfulness. So if my country is going down the drain, ill give my life to a man who is trying hard to save this country from where its heading. And Professor - no need to apologize for your opinion. This is not required. And as a fan of Rahul ji - Im sure i will question him if anything goes wrong and i wont be put behind bars for this.

Yes, he is the man of the moment. May God bless him and our beloved country

Rahul by doing what he did has proved his mettle.

Rahul Gandhi is true leader 👍

we salute you sir < Great Gentleman

I used to make a lot of joke abour RaGa but now i understand i was wrong and i thank his contribution for saving our democracy

Sir after all the ingloriousness RaGa faced during the last 10 yrs it is nice to see ppl seeing the real him . Mostly possible by ppl like you who does not mince words to speak the truth. RaGa is definitely protected by the Lord otherwise he would have been destroyed by now . God bless

We understand you Sir, we did feel the same as you are. You are greater now than ever, when you openly and humbly acknowledge you are ahuman being. Resoect to you Sir. And thakyou for revealing the most beautiful soul of Rahulji like he is a very2 gentle and kind Soul. We are now in good hands, I mean India is in good hands. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I too have chosen from the core of my being to ve a teacher. Quit Bank job for it. I have many kind and gentle students. Extremely kind and gentle. I learnt from them more than they learnt from me Sir. I am very happy that I have chosen to ve a teacher.

What we need today in our very ancient country is a man of singularity of purpose. I hope and pray that Rahul Gandhi will never be rude in Parliament when he speaks against anyone who's against his views. As a mother of five, it's important that i see this son, cordial, respectful, sympathetic to people like Smriti Irani, our Prime Minister Modiji, Amit Shah or anyone who badmouths him. With a pack of indiscreet politicians, he needs to maintain his singularity of purpose. As Christian mother, I pray that this son of india, remain in the keeping of the Holy Spirit. And never let him lose himself to baseness. May Rahul grow in stature and dignity as he advances in age and spiritual understanding of his purpose as a politician. .

Rev. Thambu. You r a true christian gugu. I appreciate your Godly character. God bless .😊

Now my respect for you is much more, as in deep felt. It is the human heart that goes beyond religion and belief to identify ourselves as MANKIND in a space called TRUTH. Stand by you kind man🙏

CJI. DY CHANDRACHUD has also studied in your institution but there is a difference between Rahul and the so called judge. Rahul is always truthful honest sympathetic towards injustice but not the so called judge. He is unable to make truthful statements towards any convict when theyre found even innocent he s afraid to give his last verdect for the innocent which is very very sad and only God is truth and that truth will prevail truth.

Thank you Rev. Valson Thampu for your frank and open confession 🎉

Good of you to clarify your stand. It is good to see opposition has been revitalized. To give supporting statements is good for the newest opposition leader. Navigating the politics of parliamentary democracy is not easy. Let us hope for the best outcomes from this new challenge provided the Indian electorate.

Nowadays need such like you teachers principal guide children students in school college as well as in our today society Thanks sir I learnt n deeply accept your view

Rahul gandhi has evolved as a leader. I was also critical of him but now my opinion has changed. He is now a matured leader.

The truth should be spoken . What you have observed is hundred💯/correct

What a beautiful submission? Maybe your past professional experience made you to do such a scuttle revelation of your opinion regarding Mr.Rahulji. Sir, you too is a great soul. Society needs such beautiful souls to upheld our culture.

Same here. Its not only you. Many have gone through this thought changes about Rahul. He is the future. He represents the core of India

Mr. Valson ❤....i had tears in my eyes watching and listening this video....u know it was as if u were speaking out my heart about Shri Rahul Gandhi...i went exactly same perception journey about RAGA as of your's....Sir you gave words to emotions of crores of INDIANS...JAI HIND....book by Dayashankar Mishra on Rahul Gandhi's ardous political journey in our country is also a testimoney to present critical scenario in the country❤.....no doubt that RAGA is the MAN OF THE MOMENT....he is a moral compass in present state of Indian politics❤

When a person admit that he made mistake in past that makes him great

yes sir - the yatra is not over. - not since his great grand father said , abt mile to go before i sleep. -- thank you gor sharing you thoughts , your blessings will certainly help and protect him during his journey ☀️🇮🇳☀️💕

Rahul Gandhi the genuine intellectual educated kind hearted soul of our country 🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for the good words and advice 🙏🏻indeed Rahul ji is the man of the moment.❤

I too was swayed by the propaganda which aimed at making Rahul appear a nincompoop especiallyv as it was dinned in by people close to me.. My inner voice urged me to be kind to him and I could see he was a lone fighter for most of the ten years .. At some point I understood I was unreasonable. U see I wss bothered, troubled, seething in anger by what wss happening to my country and its people but was too scared too... When the "perpetrators ' are ruthless and are not bound by the rule of the land is not ethical.. equitable and has no empathy.. we are suddenly in some strange cruel land... and I think I wanted RG to do all the fight... Hiding in some safe place.. I couldn't really see how hard it was for him... Or how valiant he really was.. India owes him

Dust away past. A good beginning and Thanks for your courage to research, observe and bring fact forth to all. You are the Man of the moment for students 🎉

so true sir. same is the feeling that comes to me when retrospectively I analyze my thinking of 5 years back

11.40pm: Rahul Gandhi has emerged as voice of common, underprivileged people in India. As Leader of Opposition he will protect Indian democracy and also prosper it to highest level.

Your video needs to go viral. You sir, have put so eloquently what all of us are thinking. I hope history is kinder to both Rahul Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh. Two gentle, highly educated souls working sincerely towards the welfare of the country and no other hidden agenda.

Your sin really wiped out by realization. It's truth that any amount of knowledge and intelligence is not adequate to be a true human, not committing a mistake to his own conscious

You are so right. I love Rahul Gandhi for his humility his simplicity and truthfulness.As a senior I feel he is too nice for these corrupt old politicians. but seeing him yesterday made me really happy. God Bless him.

Thampu sir 🙏 Rahul Gandhi is humble human being, a support for a common man like me 🙏

Listening to you, Sir, I am fondly reminded of my days at St. Stephen's where you made Literature such a pleasurable pursuit! You taught us Greek Tragedies and Shakespeare so passionately, the impact has stayed on to this date. Deeply indebted. I enjoy listening to your discourses, spiritual or otherwise. Thank you and keep going Sir.🙏

I AM Who I Am There is only Me and I Love Myself Only God deserves Honor Glory Praise Worship 🛐 That's my Belief

Thank you Rev.Thampu for your openness.

God bless you sir … it’s a blessing for RG from his teacher.

A huge confession, Sir! Rahul indeed has outgrown his image.

Sir, I admire your courage and also benevolence.

It takes great strength to reflect on ones mistakes/errors of judgement and make amends, that too on the internet. You sir, represent the inner voice of a multitude of people all over the world. Satyameva Jayate!

What a beautiful cleansing of soul and pronouncing Rahul as the 'Man Of The Moment'.

It's not about being Bhakta of any party memeber....it's about party ideology and work. India is a democracy and whichever and whosoever party or members upholds the democracy. Very decent presentation Sir!

I am a great admirer of Rahul Gandhi and will always be so. I don't change parties. The man has gone thru so much with people political people and also the media..every one and everything was against him and then he gave back and how...infact his whole family is constantly ridiculed shamed..god help people..

Uncle take care we need people like you to lead young people and for advise

I felt exactly the same from the beginning....lt radiates from his eyes- honestly, empathy n compassion.

Well said and well done sir. Thank you

Hats off to you, Dr. Valsan Thampu.. To be frank i too had misgivings about Rahul. snd i am very happy thay i have been proven to be wrong. Yes, HE IS INDIA' S MAN OF THE MOMENT.. Lets celebrate. Hope and pray he will continue to prove hinself. Dr. Thampu i came to listen to your videos only a few days ago. I am so very happy now to know and understand what a great human being you are. God be with you, Dr. Thampu. I am an 87 year old widow.. 😊

It hurts me to see people rediculing Rahul. And its hurts me to see people on apologetic mode for defending Rahul Gandhi ❤️. He is hope for many in our country. We want to see change in the Govt and Rahul is the choice of the mass as next PM hence the whole system is working to turnish his image with fake videos and news.

Thank you very much, sir. I'll tell you why. I was also carried away by the same feeling whatever false propaganda made about Rahul Ji., but there was a sudden change in my opinion about him after I watched him closely in his Bharat Jodo yatra. Thanks to videos posted in the net, otherwise we would have never gotten a chance to know about his real personality. That was the time I immediately got connected to him from the bottom of my heart. What a gentle and true-natured person he is. but there used to be nobody to buy my feelings about Rahul Ji. But now, with this video, you gave me double thumbs up for all of my feelings about Rahul Ji. As a true admirer of Rahul Ji, I want to bring or share some of my ideas or feelings with him, but I don't know the channel to reach out to him. I take this space as an opportunity to share some of the ideas that may help Rahul ji reach different sections of the people in society, like, he can plan for online interactive programs like, 1. 'Talk with Students' to interact regularly with students to understand and motivate them 2. 'Talk with Young Aspirants' to interact with young aspirants to guide and motivate them 3. 'Talk with Villagers' to interact with village level people, etc. Sorry for taking up too much space here. I'm not making any sense. Please forgive me, sir.

You have been vindicated Valson🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻thank you for your excellent insightful talk

Started to follow Mr Gandhi during his yatra and the titbits from ONLY youtubers who presented the truth made me his follower. Good to see people coming on his support.

Very well explained... supporting the stand taken by a leader does not make him/her the bhakt of that leader. modi bhakts may not understand this.. they lack common sense and logic.. for them, those who criticise modi are desh drohis and should go to pakistan.. In Shashi Tharoor's words, these bhakts are more indian than others..

Amen ❤

So courageous of you Rev. Thampi! It needs great strength of character to accept the public misreading of a person , even a former student . St. Stephens has great teachers and great students. 👍 ❤
