Protest Against Religious Conversion in Karnataka - AsaramJi Bapu and his struggle against conversion forces in Tribal regions of India

Attack on Hinduism is something that has been happening in our country for too long now. On many instances these ugly cases of religious zealousness has come to fore, unfortunately the missionaries overstay their welcome and take undue advantage of our religious tolerance and get to their dirty handiwork of religious conversion. Time and again these Christian groups have targeted tribal belts of the nation and sought to convert them using means that cannot be vouched for. Monetary enticements and unfulfilled promises are what these poor folks are offered and for the lack of better judgment and economical strength they fall into the traps laid by missionaries.

Among several states in our country, the south Indian state of Karnataka has an active anti-conversion law that ensures individuals here can carry on practising their religion freely, but in blatant disregard to these laws Christian missionaries are carrying on their conversions unabated. The logic Christian zealots offer for their forceful conversions are ridiculous. Some claim conversion helps backward classes in overcoming financial hurdles. In reality, the poor ignorant Hindu families that convert under pressure are given a lump sum amount and set up for bank loans! We wonder how an uneducated person is expected to return loan amounts. The reality behind these hollow claims is a vicious cycle of poverty. If these missionaries were so concerned about the betterment of backward classes they should have followed the example of Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu by giving them education and a steady source of livelihood.

The Christian missionaries have a big target base. By estimates, 8.6% of 1.2 billion Indians are tribal and unfortunately uneducated. It is easy to lure them away from their religion on the pretext of good life and financial independence. This has been going on all over the nation and if statistics were to be drawn, we would have seen the falsity of missionaries. Thanks to the wonderful work carried out by revered AsaramJi Bapu in these tribal belts, missionaries have largely failed in their goals and whenever their dirty work come to light, they are quick to lay the blame at the door of saints and Hindu organizations calling them religious terrorists!

One such shameful incident has come to light once again in Karnataka where the Girijana Kriya Koota tribal welfare group has filed complaint against conversions recently. It is necessary that we understand and appreciate the great work of philanthropy done unto mankind by His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu. Without his selfless service and sacrifices and struggle against the illegal conversion of minorities in India these poor people would have been propelled into the dark cycle of debts and loans, in short AsaramJi Bapu saved them from being slaves under banks!

Prominent lawyer wants to know why Sant Shree Asaramji Bapu was booked under IPC

The question that has been raking the consciousness of millions around the world will not be subdued unless we have an answer from the judiciary and law enforcement - and the question is why was Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu arrested under POCSO and IPC 376 when the medical report said nothing about grievous injuries that are always associated with rapes? No one wants to answer and that has only strengthened our belief in the fact that bigger powers are at play against our Saintly BapuJi.

BM Gupta who is a prominent lawyer in Gujurat was interacting with Sadhaks through a popular TV channel where he raised the same question we have been asking all these months.

Our world is on the verge of destruction because it is under the burden of crimes and sins committed by million sinners. If not for the Holy Saints like BapuJi, destruction was inevitable long ago. The lawyer also goes on to explain the fact behind the death of Dipesh and Abhishek. It must be noted that the murder case of these kids was laid on BapuJi, whereas in reality, these two kids had wandered off on that faithful day and took a bath in the swelling river that was full with flood waters. The unfortunate kids lost their lives purely to an accident and not what the media is trying to insinuate.

The reason for BapuJi's incarceration is his great humanitarian works he has done in Jharkhand and Gujurat to bring Hindus back into the fold. BapuJi provides financial aid and food to people who belong to backward sections of the society. This puts him at loggerheads with the Christian missionaries that have been converting Hindus to Christianity. For too long they were defeated in their motives by our Saintly BapuJi. Only recently they found an ally who agreed to level false allegations.

Given the reports and circumstantial evidences, the lawyer strongly believes that there must have been a different reason for jailing BapuJi and he wants to know why.

The Need to Raise Our Voices Against Injustice

Media in our country is infamous for picking favourites and training their guns against innocent either on the provocation of powerful forces or because big stake holders at the core of such media channels are politically or ideologically aligned to people who have an interest in maligning names and false implicating people for their personal motives and gains.

               

Our innocent BapuJi has fallen victim to such syndicates that are hand in glove with the ruling government and they have an interest in tarnishing Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu's name. Attack after attack has been directed towards Bapu, yet it has failed to break the spirit of truth seekers and those who know and believe in the truth. These are the people we need to learn from and two incidents that have sought to raise voice against injustice and demand the truth are as follows:

1. The December twitter protest

Thousands of BapuJi supporters gathered and raised their voice against corruption and blatant bias against those who have made issues out of nothing for their selfish motives. More than a hundred different examples of bias were mentioned in these tweets, which went to become one of the trending topic on Twitter. Not only is this incident worthy of congratulations, but we must also take a lead out of it and protest against the anti-Hindu mindset of media and lack of action against people like Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tarun Tejpal.

2. Letter to Uttar Pradesh chief minister

In another similar incident protesters gathered around the District Commissioner's office in Allahabad in UP and submitted a letter to  the CM in which they requested that strong action be taken against the CEOs and news anchors of news channels India TV, News Nation and News 24. In the said memorandum, it was mentioned that despite repeated requests, these news channels have failed to tone down derogatory language against AsaramJi Bapu, which caused them untold pain and mental suffering.

Both of these are exemplary incidents which has set the right precedent for the rest of us to take right action against perpetrators of this crime.

Moving Powers Against Hindu-Drohi Media

Our democracy is a great country which has always treated all its citizens with equality and ensured equal rights for all. There has been very few incidents that can be treated as exception to this, but when that happens, history has recorded reactions that forced oppressors to rectify their mistakes and mend their ways.

The current situation regarding AsaramJi Bapu is no exception. In the last few months there has been attack after attack in Hindu saint for no fault and on top of that the media has brought about untold harm by dishing out lopsided false information.

With the exception of a few, there has been close to no voice seeking the truth until now. In what appears to be unprecedented, thousands of Sadhaks used Twitter to lodge a strong protest against paid media and biased law enforcement forces that have dealt several blows 'under the belt'. This incident happened in such a large scale that media houses tool notice of it reported about it.

In another closely related incident, protesters gathered around the District Commissioner's office and presented a memorandum requesting the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh to action against these media channels and bring culprits to book.

Meanwhile, we must remember to be cautious about believing in news articles presented in media. Some powers with vested interests are at play and they have very good reasons to see our beloved BapuJi behind bars. In protest against those, let us decide not to watch such news channels and logde strong protests through social media channels like Twitter and Facebook.

What action has been taken against unbiased news channels - The nation needs answers

How media and law has handled AsaramJi Bapu case is now known to all, there are no secrets as to how news channels painted BapuJi in the wrong hue and made a villain out of an upright saintly person driven completely by ulterior motives. Millions of Bapu's disciples were shocked and awed at this but what even more abhorring was how these media channels branded an innocent family as sex racket operators and showed a minor as a victim of sexual exploitation. This disgusting sacrifice of moral ethics on the altar of money was too much and the pain it caused to the innocent Sadhak family was harrowing.

What was the truth?

On 2nd July, 2013, Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu arrived at the household of the complainant for Pag Phera ceremony and blessed his family which included the complainant's wife and his 10 year old niece. It must be noted that the media channels targeted these two females specifically by accusing the wife of running a sex racket and saying that the niece was a victim of BapuJi.

The family had to take action, it approached police and lodged a complaint against News 24 at the Palam Vihar police station but nothing came of it. Protests were carried out for 3 days from 14th Dec to 16 Dec, yet the police did nothing at all.

The complaint was completely cold shouldered and nothing came of it. Following this set back, the media victimized family formally decided to lodge an FIR at the same police station. This time two additional channels were brought under the purview of the FIR taking the total to three which now included News Nation, India TV and News 24. The charges that were invoked against these channels are: IPC 469, 471, 120B, 671 IT Act and 13(C) POCSO. It has been three days since and we are yet to see any positive outcome. Will the media or the law enforcement come up with an explanation as to why nothing has been done to nab the people named in the said FIR of 16th December, 2013?

Contrasts in how law enforcement and media handled Bapuji case and those of others

Law enforcement forces in a democracy are expected to be impartial and unbiased in their job and for most part they, exceptions arise when strong political forces are at play, calling shots from behind the curtain. Many times in the past we have disparities in the carriage of law and some of these have been very high profile ones that force us to sit up and take cognizance.

Case in point here is Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu the holy Hindu Saint who has done so much for the poor and downtrodden of our nation and yet the media chose to crucify him without looking for reasons or logic, which is not only pathetic and silly but also belittling of our cultural heritage because this is a direct attack on an important religious figure of the nation. In what appears to be a controversy of with an anti-nationalist innuendo, BapuJi was implicated in a false rape cases. The law enforcement swings into action and swoops him up spectacularly. Thereafter, he is confined in jails and subjected to humiliation and hardships that are meted to hardened criminals.

This was just the beginning, soon after media doubled its effort to malign and bring disrepute to the name of AsaramJi Bapu and later even his son. It was clear that anti-BapuJi forces were at play here and media was happily playing second fiddle in spreading false news about Bapu and everyone else connected to him. The aggression which media and law enforcement displayed was extraordinary in many aspects. To begin with media took for granted that Pujya Shree AsaramJi Bapu was guilty and there was nothing to prevent the downfall of an innocent man who is considered a saint by millions of his followers all over the globe. In the days that followed more such false news was spread unstopped. Only recently has the NBSA heeded to these outrageous incidents and pulled the leash on TRP hungry news channels for spreading wrong information. In a very recent case, three news channels, India TV, News Nation and News 24 were taken to task by a family that was falsely portrayed as willing participants of sex rackets and scandals that are totally unfounded and false.

In stark contrast, several criminal cases of similar nature are pending in court that require attention but for reasons best known to law enforcement forces, these cases do not get as much importance as the bogus case against Bapu is getting. One very recent example of this is the Gurgaon Sadhak family case. On 16th December, a family lodged an FIR against three news channels viz: News 24, India News and News Nation for showing morphed video on national TV, implicating them of being involved in salacious scams involving the Bapu. 13(C) POCSO, IPC 469, 471, 120B and 671 IT acts were invoked but no action has been taken against the CEOs of the news channel yet. The question we ask today - why such disparity in carriage of legal action. There is no doubt in our mind that some deep conspiracy is at play against Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu.

Justice for Param Pujya Sant Asaram ji Bapu

We have seen in the last few months we have seen the media and police don the role of a vigilante and singe BapuJi in false rape cases that were brought about on him on the instigation of detractors of the Bapu. It must be noted that at that time thousands rose in protest of crimes that were forced on him. The incident was taken up by the media and twisted out of context to gain personal leverage and get TRPs. The allegations that were brought against him were blown out of proportion and the biased media did more harm to the issue than facilitate carriage of justice.

What is even more painful is the fact that recently a few news channels have pulled an innocent sadhak family into the quagmire of sexual crimes and threw mud at women in the family by hinting that they were actively involved in sex crimes on behest of BapuJi. News Nation, India TV and News 24 are guilty of besmirching a Sadhak's family with utter disregard for their right to privacy and violating the right of a child. This was carried on over for a period of 3 days from 14th December to 16th December, 2013. Outraged by this the family approached police and lodged a complaint invoking 13(C) POCSO against News 24. Unfortunately that failed to yield any result. Following that up the family decided to lodge an FIR at Palam Vihar Police Station on 16 December, 2013. Keeping in mind the gravity of the situation, the family brought the other two TV channels to book with a formal FIR.

The media victimized family made an emotional appeal to the public who rose against perpetrators in the Damini case to rise again and demand justice for his minor niece who was falsely dragged into an unnecessary tussle created by the media with complete disregard for her rights. The time is also right for the people of this nation to rise in unison against schemers and anti-nationalist sentiments against Hindu saints.

Complain fails to move police, Family victimized by media now files fir expecting Justice

In one after another, the turn of events that in the last few weeks has come as a welcome breather for Asaram Ji Bapu supporters and sadhaks. The first of them all was the falling from grace of liar Bholanand and Tripathi followed by the clearing of Narayan SaiJi's name as the absconder and lastly unveiling of the duplicity of evidence planned to be presented against Bapu. But all is not well yet and there are still matters that need clearing up and more attention from law enforcement and media. Recently, three national news channels New 24, India News and News Nation showed doctored content insinuating crimes that Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu had not perpetrated and in the process maligning the name and honour of a family in addition to violating rights of a child!

These grave charges have been brought against the said media channels by a simple sadhak at whose residence his holiness AsaramJi Bapu arrived after a Satsang session for Pag Phera. It must be noted that these three news channels altered a video clip that was recorded in 2 July 2013 and presented it in poor light throughout the day of 12 Dec, 2013.

These channels defiled BapuJi and the entire family of the Sadhak by hinting that they were willing participants in salacious activities. The channels went on to implicate that the women in the family organized sex rackets for BapuJi. This led to untold pain and misery and anguish for the family. Following this the media-victimized family decided to knock at the police's door for justice, but unfortunately the plea was cold shouldered. This cold treatment forced the family to lodge a formal FIR against News Nation, News 24 and India TV for the improper presentation of news and violating rights of a 10 year old girl. The FIR invokes IPC 469, 471, 120B, 671 IT ACT and last but definitely not the least 13(C) POCSO.

It now remains to be seen whether the police will bring in the people accused in the FIR and if it does how long it takes.

IPS Officer names Mukhesh Ambani's son Akash Ambani in hit and run case, media and police not doing enough

In the multi crore rupee wreckage that took place in Mumbai on the night of December 8th, 2103, the police are treading very cautiously in its investigation.By reports in some newspapers the police do not want to hush up the matter or make false arrests but going by the public's reaction, police and the media are just beating around the bush because a very high profile individual is involved.

IPS officer YP Singh has clearly indicated that the driver of the ill-fated car was none other than son of Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani. Even Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed his surprise at the way police and media are handling the case, he says, " It seems the only people who don’t know who was driving the fancy Aston Martin are the Mumbai police"!

This is not the first time media and police actions have fallen short of the expectations of the public, there will be countless cases if we go digging the past, but the recent trend of people losing its faith on the impartiality of media and actions of police is worrying. In this case, people and media are thought to be hand in glove trying to  protect the son of a big national figure who is known to have very strong connections with political parties of the country. The media has gone mum on covering this news much less conduct their infamous sting operations like they did in case of saint AsaramJi Bapu.

In BapuJi's case news channels and media houses have conducted countless sting operations and spread defamatory news in more than one occasion. Instead of finding out the truth, it has blatantly ignored human rights and violated the right to privacy in more than one instance. Recently the NBSA has taken offense to how India TV presented BapuJi's Holi celebrations in Maharastra. Given such bias in its presentations,  the media has not only failed in its basic duty to present un-opinionated news, it has also lost public's trust.

Media victimizes innocent girl - Sadhak family lodges complaint against NEWS 24 Channel

As if the harm the skewed media has done till now is not enough, News 24, a popular news channel has gone one step ahead of the rest and defamed an innocent family in its mindless hunger to gain more TRPs, blind to the fact that their action has caused untold anguish and pain to innocent citizens! Sadhaks of AsaramJi Bapu also complained of such biased content being presented in other news channels as well. Notably, India TV and News Nation made repeated telecasts of doctored information through its channels recently.  

Recently India TV, a popular news channel has also been rapped by the National Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA) for using derisive language against AsaramJi Bapu, and now this has followed. It should be noted that this recent misrepresentation is a graver offense than using defamatory language against a holy saint because in this case the victim is a teenage child who was portrayed by the media as victim, whereas the truth was far from it!

In the news presentation BapuJi was shown moving his hand over the back of the said girl in what the media described as offensive, but the truth is that BapuJi was blessing her and his actions were comparable to a grandfather patting his grandchild. To gain maximum leverage for their personal sake, the news channel had one of its female journalist analyze the video clip wherein she goes on to accuse BapuJi but seems completely oblivious to the fact that she herself was involved in violating child rights. In their blind pursuit for more TRPs, the said media channel not only pulled an innocent child into the middle of an unnecessary debate but also maligned other women of the household by hinting that women like them organized sexual escapades for Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu. This is despicable and unexpected from media in a country where it is considered the 4th pillar of democracy.

Unlike most people who would have been scared of raising their voice, this media victim family has come forward with their complaint and invoked 13 (C)POCSO against News 24 for violating the rights of a child. This is high time that we open our eyes to thousands of such unbiased news dished out by the media against AsaramJi Bapu and lodge strong complains against such misrepresentations.

NBSA raps India TV on the knuckle for using derisive language against Asaramji Bapu regarding holi festival celebration

On 6th November, 2013 India TV was served a warning by the NBSA (National Broadcasting Standards Authority) for using derisive language in its reporting of the Holi festival incident in which the channel reported that BapuJi's Holi celebrations were conducted despite the fact some parts of Maharastra was reeling under severe crisis.

This report was carried out by India TV on two dates (17th and 18th March, 2013) on their channel. The language used during the program was potentially defamatory and caused mental anguish to followers of Bapu. In a reaction to that, supporters of Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu sought an explanation from India TV.

The response from India TV was not satisfactory following which Bapu's followers moved the NBSA for review. On examination of a CD containing the said telecast, NBSA found that indeed the news channel had missed out on following guidelines on a few occasions. In a meeting that was held on 18.9.2013, NBSA decided to warn India TV for the irregularities, this is what was decided in the meeting. "NBSA decided to issue a warning to your channel and any future transgression would be dealt with severely". This was necessary because of blatant defiling of the Bapu and his Ashram by different section of the media ever since he was arrested. The NBSA's stand on the issue is a very welcome breather for Bapu supporters who have been pained endlessly largely because of an insensitive media that had taken upon themselves to ridicule and try BapuJi despite the fact that the matter is sub-judice.

India TV does it again twists video out of context - Presents biased perspective on video recorded by Asaramji aide

In the last few weeks we have been seeing too many incidents of the media getting too excited on the case against Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu. Investigative media becomes ridiculous when it surpasses the bounds of logic and does things to get more attention by pushing completely biased information.  

Very recently, it has come to light that India TV jazzed up an unassuming video of BapuJi interacting with his disciples and a young student who was purportedly victimized by Bapu. It is rather amusing how media channels twist things out of context and make them appear like soap operas just to grab eyeballs. In the doctored video AsaramJi Bapu is shown gently touching and pampering the young girl, just as any grandparent with exactly the same feelings that would normally be seen in average Indian families. There was absolutely no grounds for anyone to blow this simple video out of proportion, but a certain section of the media cannot help but show such incidents for more than what they actually are. What we have seen on India TV is just that.

Quite interestingly this incident occurred in the household of a devotee of Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu in presence of the girl’s parents and close relatives. It has further been said that the said video clip was recorded especially on request of the devotee at whose residence BapuJi was present that day. When the MMS went live the family was shocked because women in their family were falsely accused of running sex rackets and prostitution which was untrue. This telecast resulted in embarrassment for the family primarily because neighbours of the unfortunate family began questioning the nature of their relation with Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu. Not to mention this caused immense emotional pain and scarring following which the family finally lodged a complaint against the news channel.

This shows that there is no limit as to how despicable the media can get, assailing devotees of AsaramJi Bapu for TRPs.

Collection of great sayings by Param Pujya Asaramji Bapu

Throughout his long and illustrious life as a spiritual guru and leader of the masses and in that role has spread the message of love, peace and among us. His words are precious because they emanate from the deepest recess of the hearts of enlightened saints. Here is a collection of a few precious spiritual gems that Bapu has delivered in the last several decades.

   Knowledge of Salvation

   If a man wants to attain salvation in this very life, he must do the work of thousands of years in a single life. He will need to move much faster than time. One experiences praise and insult, ‘mine’ and ‘yours’, good and bad in a dream. But once he is awake, they all cease to exist. Likewise, one has to experience the non-existence of the world in the waking state. Once you come to realize and understand this, you have accomplished the work of thousands of years. The petty samskaras of thousands of years, the illusion of ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ will all be obliterated once you find a saint who can instil this knowledge in you.

   Love thyself before loving others

   When a person becomes a lover of his true self, the worries regarding livelihood, thoughts about women and the painful memories of enemies cease to exist.

   Essential reality of self

   The moment you stop seeking pleasure in worldly things and become a true master of yourself, you will experience the essential reality of the Self. Then you will no longer have to seek God. God himself will come to you. This is the Divine law.

   Secret of happiness

   The secret of happiness lies in realizing the fact that the more you pursue worldly objects, the more distant they become. The more you become detached from desires, the more you become free from the need of such objects and in addition, these objects will therefore follow you themselves.

Our Pujya Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu has also said: "I am the light of the world. My luminous nature pervades all objects.’ Constantly reflect on such thoughts. Such reflection will make you supremely pious."

Every divine word spoken by BapuJi instils spiritual, mental and spiritual bliss in us; we hope these divine words will most certainly flood your life with supreme contentment.

Views of His Holiness Swami Nithyanand Maharaj Mahamandaleshwar of Maha Nirvana Akhada on allegations against Asaramji Bapu

The Mahamandaleshwar of Mahanirvani Peet, Guru Swami Nithyanand Maharaj is one who knows about the accusations and allegations brought against AsaramJi Bapu in the recent past and he has studied the case in great depth and possibly there is no one better to comment on recent developments against AsaramJi Bapu. In 2010, Swami Nithyanand Maharaj was implicated in similar sex crimes and was charged under several IPC sections, one of which was 376 (rape) and 377 (unnatural sex). He was kept in judicial custody for 52 days, at the end of that he was acquitted by the court and his driver was charged for conspiracy. In February, 2013 FIRs against him were quashed by Karnataka High Court. He has been through the challenges of living through false allegations and standing up for his rights and then appealing for justice against the plotters who brought disrepute to his name.

On allegations brought against Bapu, Swami has a lot to say and he bases his observations on detailed study of the entire case. In course of his findings he has consulted with medical experts who opined that a minor's skin is very delicate and any physical assault would have left permanent marks on her skin for at least a few days, but these medical experts did not find any mention of such findings on the girl. After 11 long years the accuser comes ahead with her allegations when she should have done so at the earliest. Suddenly after so many years, it suddenly dawns on her that the time is right to seek justice! Isn't this ridiculous? Even the police knows that this case is not going to hold in court.

“I’m not saying that AsharamJi Bapu is above a law...All I am trying to say is, let's have patience till the court takes a review. Even if you believe that something may have happened, keep quite till the courts decide". 

Asaramji Bapu was expecting to be implicated like Sankarcharya Jayendra Saraswati

Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu said on 6th December 2004 that he was likely to be implicated in similar false cases like Kanchi Seers Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati. This was said in the wake of the seer's arrest on charges of murder of a manager of the Mutt. AsaramJi Bapu said that his number came after Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati. The seer was arrested and jailed for 9 years. At the end of that period it was found that the seers were actually not guilty of the crime that they were accused of initially. It could be more than a coincidence that the very year Sankarcharya was cleared of the crimes, Sant Shree Asaram BapuJi was implicated!

When he talked about this, the year was 2004 and a great Hindu leader was under the cloud of murder. His disciples along with millions of followers around the globe were pained, they had to be guided and kept on the path of truth. AsaramJi Bapu was a beacon of guiding light at that moment and he courageously steered masses back into the path of truth and love and gave them a reason to keep their path. To make his case strong he cited the example of Sai Maharaja who also had similar misfortune not too long before Sankaracharya was brought to book. If one takes a close look at these incidents we will see that there is a trend in the way all spiritual leaders have been implicated. One after the other Hindu leaders has been attacked. The first to have fallen was Sai Maharaj, followed by Sankaracharya and the latest to have faced the same fate is none other than Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu. One would be hard pressed not to find a pattern in all these insinuating manipulation of the law by forces working to malign good names of religious leaders.

Throughout these rough times, BapuJi has always continued spreading his message of peace and love. He said then that everything would become alright soon and he asked his followers to keep faith on the almighty.

How accurate were the unscientific processes conducted on Narayan Sai Ji?

Day in and out the media has continued to bombard us with biased news that has little credibility and stems basically from unfounded rumours and information released by the police. One should not forget that none of these has been proved in a court of law and whatever little detail of allegations and new updates we have should be taken with a pinch of salt. The reason why we cannot yet take these statements for granted is because of the unproven techniques that have been put to use.

Information that have been released by media post Saiji's grilling

Narayan Saiji was sent to police custody on 6th December, 2013 and he was relentlessly grilled by police. According to sources, he was put under the scanner for 15 to 16 hours at end each day! It will not be lost to you that a person subjected to such arduous process cannot be expected to be in his right frame of mind and hence anything said or done by such an individual is not usually accepted in a court of law. In the last seven days we have heard everything from Narayan SaiJi accepting his crimes to admitting about a love child to saying that he had sexual relationships with 8 other women!

We wonder what else the police wanted to hear from him. International scientists and experts on the matter have opined that subjects readily pick up hints from their interlocutors and answer in order to oblige!

Alison Winter, an expert in the history of modern medicine at the University of Chicago says "So someone who is drugged might make a false statement because he or she is responding to a deliberate or unconscious cue". This must be taken into consideration in case of SaiJi as well. He surely must have been under influence of drug and answering to please rather than anything else!

How narco tests fared in the past in India

Outcomes of Narco analysis tests can be summed up with one word - inconclusive. There are more misses for every success that has happened with the application of narcotics or truth serum or any of the myriad chemical concoction law enforcement officials  use on under-trails. Consider these:

1. 2004: Chhagan Bhujbal quit following allegations that were based on result of a narco test done on fake stamp paper case accused Abdul Karim Telgi. Police could not provide proof against Bhujbal and these allegations were dropped.

2. 2010: Aarushi Talwar Murder Case accused were subjected to these test, outcomes were inconclusive.

3. 2013: Jiah Khan suicide case. criminal lawyer Majeed Memon says, "This should not be encouraged, ... The facts of this case do not justify subjecting the accused to narco-analysis test and is undesirable."

Of course if you looked up hard you will find cases to support use of narcotic tests, but there is very little to encourage the court in accepting it as standalone evidence.

Even Learned Law - Keepers Err

No one is above the law and there have been numerous occasions when law and order has blundered. There is no denying the fact that dispensing justice is not the easiest of task and those in the profession of up-keeping law face a gargantuan task in bringing all to task. But when a big miss comes to light one cannot but stand up and take notice of the matter. With the arrest of AsaramJi Bapu and his son, many are invoking the question - could the law have erred?

In a democratic country, we do posses the right to express our opinions without fear of retribution and clearly no one is in violation of those in question developments since His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu was arrested recently. It is noteworthy that there have been lapses here too, but thankfully remedial action has since been taken. It is not lost to public cognizance that prosecutors gunning against Narayan Sai moved the court and obtained a non-bailable arrest warrant which was later absolved by the court considering the fact that an NBW may not be issued to arrest any person, hence all these time Narayan Sai was falsely labelled an absconder. It is quite ridiculous that a section of the press has taken this and blown it out of proportion to such an extent that the general population began taking this falsity for granted. Thankfully, the recent court stand comes as a welcome breather for BapuJi and his family from the continuous onslaught of propaganda spread by detractors of the spiritual leader.

What we are hinting at is the possibility of more blunders by the court and the law. Given the highly motivated and powerful detractors of BapuJi, one cannot completely rule out deeper conspiracies and conspirators at play here. Sant AsaramJi Bapu has been hinting at the possibility of a conspiracy and given his impressive track record of speaking out against powerful and corrupt politicians, he definitely has some very irate and resourceful enemies. When Congress faced a defeating blow in the recent assembly elections, BapuJi commented that the truth will prevail and it has only begun.

If famous dignitaries like Kanchi seers can stay shrouded in clouds of doubt for 9 long years, we would not be surprised if law takes equally long to come out with the truth.

Wind of Change Uproots Entire Empire

Reacting to his arrest, Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu commented that his arrest was nothing but a conspiracy hatched by the ruling government and he also predicted that people would see through this cheap attempt by the government to weaken the morale of the opposition by arresting a leading figure of the nation and a apparently a political opponent to the Congress. To this Ashok Ghelot, the ex-CM of Rajasthan said that similar things were being said when Praveen Tagodia was arrested and all the warnings and threats turned out to be hollow. He further added that last time such empty threats could not shake a leaf and nothing would come out of current developments either.

Contrary to expectations these time things changed a lot. It not just shook every leaf, but also uprooted the entire tree from ground up. This is exactly what BapuJi predicted. The ruling Congress government lost its mandate, lost trust and finally lost power. One should remember that this is not just any ordinary political event. The congress was in power for long 15 years and there was nothing to hint that such a catastrophe was about to unfold. In the last few months everything turned topsy-turvy. The outcomes were evident not just at the centre, but also in adjoining states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and even in Chattisgarh. The ruling government was already responsible for innumerable scams and scandals and arresting BapuJi became the proverbial straw on the camel's back. Detractors of BapuJi should take this as a warning and rectify their ways. If they choose to tread the path they have been all these while, chances are that in days to come they will be completely eradicated from the world of politics.

Time has stood witness to the truth that saints have always forgiven those that have pained them but perpetrators should refrain from the shameful act of maligning good name of the respectable guru.

The Core of Indian Culture Under Attack

History stands witness to the fact that whenever pain has been inflicted on pious souls, nature has replied with a befitting rejoinder. Time and again that has happened and without any exception nature has stood true to its course. Our rich heritage and priceless epics written by sages have uncountable iterations of this phenomenon. Whenever sins, corruption and death have disrupted the balance of nature, a changing force has come to the rescue of the weak. The basic Hindu concept of reincarnation is something which holds true here as well and just as in those good old times, something similar is coming to pass yet again, this time with a modern twist, but there are striking similarities from the past. It is almost as if the history is playing out once again.

If you do recall from chapters of Mahabharata, Kansh the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna, incarnation of Bishnu, dealt a heavy hand to all saints and pious souls of the time, until they could bear no longer and begged for the almighty to come to their rescue. Back then it took long for Lord Krishna to deliver justice and bring about peace. This time round, it has been fairly quick.

The Congress government and what it had been doing at the centre is reminiscent of just that only this time we have seen nature coming back with a deft reply.

Ever since BapuJi was arrested there were indications that the ruling congress party was behind a serious conspiracy and it was evident in every development that unfolded beginning from those women bringing about allegations against BapuJi, and then allegations against Narayan Sai. Then there were uncountable rumours that were never ending. The slew of fake claims did not end at just that, even after the His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu and his kind-hearted son was brought in by the law, media and the corrupt government continued pouring in vitriol on Bapu's reputation. Thankfully that has all come to an end with the rule of corrupt government to an end. With that has ended the blatant attack to our Hindu culture. His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu is a significant pillar of Hindu culture and religion and flinging mud on his honour and doubting his integrity is nothing but dastardly attack on Hinduism. Thankfully the curtain has fallen with congress's loss.

Sad deviation of media from the path of truth

Humans have been critical and noxious since time immemorial; there is little novelty in that. Even today with the enlightenment of education, nothing much seems to have changed, which is very unfortunate.

What is even more painful is the harsh truth that His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu who has spent the greater part of his life unto the service of mankind was not spared? The saint has always been advising his disciples about being truthful and remaining closely associated with a life that is filled with nothing but the truth. The kind Bapu never for a moment rested from his job of spreading the gospel of love, truth, honouring women, helping the poor and educating children. Following his teachings millions have chosen the right path and brought about positive changes in their societies, states and thus to the entire world.

Media, which is considered the fourth pillar of the Indian democracy, has lost sight of its aims. Instead, it has decided to embark on the path of falsehood and cheap publicity for monetary gains. Driven blind by ulterior motives, media has not even stopped from flinging mud on the kind Bapu. It is an abominable attempt at sabotaging Bapu's reputation and selfless service. This unfortunate deviation of the media from truth and sacrificing BapuJi on the altar of rumours heralds a sad day for Indian journalism. Perhaps this is the outcome of commercialization of media that has money at its true north instead of truth.

Nothing can be more detrimental to a nation's future than a corrupt media that does not stop at anything when it comes to making money. By actively spreading rumours and criticizing all and sundry for everything that comes across their path and by maligning reputation of spiritual leaders of the nation, the media has not only become less authentic and authoritative, it also increasingly inviting wrath of the almighty lord unto who His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu has dedicated his life and work.

Sant Sree Asaramji Bapu to finally receive medical attention for fothergill's disease

At the end of a long wait, HH AsaramJi Bapu is finally all set to receive medical attention for his neurological disease commonly known as Trigeminal neuralgia or Fothergill's disease or Trinadi Shool in Hindi. It must be noted that the saint has been suffering from severe headaches and discomfort for the last decade or so and this fact was brought to light by his physician Neta Dwara in court. Conditions aggravate after prolonged tours, loss of sleep or because of change in environmental conditions.

The reason for this neurological discomfort can be traced deep into the human brain where three nerves ophthalmic nerve, the maxillary nerve, and the mandibular nerve come together and become the cause of discomfort ('shool' in Hindi means pain). Reference to this disease can be found in Ayurvdic discourses like 'Charak Sanghita', 'Madhab Bidhan' and 'Asthang Sangrah'.  To know more about Trigeminal neuralgia or Fothergill's disease consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon.

Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu have been asking for medical attention all these while but the media and those that were busy with maligning his good name did not pay much heed to it. Furthermore, it must be noted that Trigeminal neuralgia cannot be detected with MRI scans, renowned physician Neta Dwara and many others has opined that the only way to get to the core of the issue is through diagnosis. There are several pathological problems of similar nature which medical equipment fails to detect and the only way physicians detect such diseases is by diagnosis.

Thanks to the untiring efforts put by Bapu's lawyers and medical expertise of physicians, the court has finally agreed to refer him to medical attention. The only known successful way to treat this medical condition is an Ayurvedic process known as ShiroDhara and his holiness is all set to benefit from it soon.

Will the media ever get over its smear campaign

Journalism which is considered the fourth pillar of democracy is quickly becoming the cause of misery and trouble for the people of the country. In the west when media began doubting at the credibility and truth in the message of spiritual mentors, people began losing faith on them and gradually but definitely they went further and further from the truth and path of enlightenment. What has happened thereafter has since then become evident to all of us. History stands witness to the truth that each time men has asked questions or pointed fingers at a saint, it has lost its path and become corrupt. The lesson we need to draw from this is that frowning on saints and their selfless service based on the words of commercial media is the pall bearer of catastrophes. The strength of a united nation is well known to us, which is why we cannot afford to forget that the country we live has grown stronger and stayed united because of countless efforts and sacrifices made by holy saints like His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu.

Therefore, perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to say that this nation will always remain indebted to the great sacrifices made over ages to tie us all together with the string of love and devotion. The moment we forget that and begin questioning lessons taught by our gurus and raise eyebrow on their credibility because of a handful of money minded journalists choose to criticize them; we will have made their great sacrifices futile and entirely worthless.

It pains us to say that current developments in our nation have propelled us all down the wrong path and most of us are not even aware of it. Not too long ago conspirators of His Holiness Sant AsaramJi Bapu began an attack on his character and the media jumped at the chance of making money with this insane character assassination. Since then, media has been constantly dealing blows under the belt at every opportunity and conspirators of Sant AsaramJi Bapu gave ample moments to capitalize. Quite recently Bapu's son has come under attack as well. The question we ask - will there ever be an end to this smear campaign?

Millions in Bapu’s Family

AsaramJi Bapu has a family that has more than a million members in it. Over decades his holiness has spread love and kindness all over the world and drawn millions into his fold who come open handedly to receive and rejoice in his kindness and words of wisdom. But at the very core are 3 people who are as illustrious and kind as Bapu Ji and who have constantly stood by his side. Mata Laxmi Devi, illustrious son Narayan Sai Ji and kind-hearted Bharti Devi Ji are Bapu’s pillars of strength and they remain with Bapu Ji. In a recent interaction with her extended family of disciples Mata Laxmi inquired after and said how kind hearted and patient her husband was. She considers herself blessed to have BapuJi as her teacher, mentor and life partner. She is not alone who consider herself blessed, millions all over the globe who have been accepted within the fold of love and compassion by AsaramJi Bapu have similar views. To them, Mata Laxmi Devi and BapuJi are the shadows of none other than Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, It is true that Mata Laxmi Devi is an ideal Indian woman and inspiration to all who want a family as illustrious and happy as that of Bapu ji.

Bharati Devi, the daughter of His Holiness Bapu Ji and sister of Narayan Sai Ji calmly reflects on the recent incidents as nothing but attempts by a section of the media and her father’s detractors to weaken them. She says that no force on God’s earth is capable of doing any harm.

The need of the hour is to refrain from listening to false accusations of the media and make an effort to know the truth because what is being portrayed in media today is not the truth. The educated masses of our nation need to reserve their decisions until the honorable court has taken its rightful path, and when that happens we are sure that BapuJi will shine bright as the sun above the cloud of doubt.

Lord Shiva’s Family Similar to Sant Shree Asaramji Bapu’s Family

His holiness Sant Shree Asaramji Bapu is considered among the top spiritual leaders of the world today. The saint has attained Brahmic knowledge and his conscience is one with the transcendental supreme power. He, like other great saints in our Hindu tradition such as Maharishi Vedvyasa, teaches his disciples to lead happy ad respectable life while being a family man. Disciples of the Sant compare Lord Shiva’s family with Bapu’s family where his wife Laxmi Devi, his illustrious son Narayan Sai and his virtuous daughter Bharati Dvi reside.

The pious wife Laxmi Devi is an outstanding example for the modern Indian woman who considers her husband as her closest friend, teacher and God. Maa Laxmi Devi  is thankful for having the saintly Bapu as her life partner, Bapu was with her at the beginning and he will be with her till the very end of her  complete and happy life. She has imbibed the age old Indian tradition of seeing her husband as an entity equal to God.  Seeing the selfless love and service of respectable Bapuji, his wife Laxmi Devi believes herself to be the luckiest women on earth because she has become united with the incarnation of God in the shape of his holiness Asaramji Bapu. Maa Laxmi Devi’s role as the perfect life partner, daughter in law and mother is comparable to none in today’s time.  Her loyalty and compassion towards her husband and children along with her respect for BapuJi as her spiritual mentor has remained strong through all odds.

BapuJi’s illustrious son and daughter have never for a moment left their father’s  in these hard times and have been continuously supported him with love and devotion. Those that are trying to malign and bring disrepute to the glorious family of Lord Shiva’s image Sant Shree Asaramji Bapu will never succeed in doing so because of the strong bond of love and devotion within the family and millions of disciples all over the globe that comprise the complete family of Bapu Ji.

Mata Laxmi Devi sums up the sentiment of her global family with her words, “…He is such a patient and pious person. Millions come to him for knowledge and kindness. These hateful and malignant accusations will not stick. He is like the sun and the cloud of false allegations will not last longer”.

Love and Devotion In BapuJi’s Family Strong As Ever

In the last several months we have seen attacks on His Holiness Asaramji Bapu and his family from many quarters. The most dastardly and maligning  in nature has that been of the media which has sold itself out to some people with vested interest in order to get quick and easy TRPs.  We have come across absurd allegations that have the potentiality of shaking the foundation of even the strongest family, but Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu’s family is no ordinary one.

Those that have seen the true self of the kindly Bapu strike down all the recent media allegations and false cases as absurd and ridiculous. There is no doubt that AsaramJi Bapu’s success and rise as the foremost leader of the masses has displeased many and it is such people who have brought about a tsunami of accusations to deluge and wash away the truth, but little do they know that like the rising sun dispels darkness, the truth about Bapuji will conquer all falsehood. Detractors of Bapu and his family will not be pleased to know this, but what has been happening recently has only made the bond of love and devotion many times stronger and better. Besides, disciples from every nook and corner of the world have poured in their love and dedication to see that the name of Sant Shree Asaramji Bapu is cleared of all rumors.

Followers of the great spiritual leader do not believe in any of the rubbish spread by the paid media and to counter that and protect the name of Bapu and his godly family they have come together in an unprecedented manner. The love is overwhelming and very necessary for the supporters to keep fighting against massive waves of accusations that keep coming one after another.  The recent to have made the rounds in media is that Narayan Saiji, the illustrious and kind son of His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu was running away from the law. Nothing could be further from the truth. Saiji was contemplating with his legal advisors for the best path to collaborate and cooperate with the law because his sole aim was and remains to bring justice to his family and reinstate the sanctity of his family that had been violated by people with ulterior motives.

As the sun rises and conquers darkness, so will the truth defeat falsehood as soon as the law has taken its course. In the meantime, we, the extended family of Bapu need to support him with our love and devotion and not believe in false accusations.

Skewed Media Trials On Spiritual Gurus In India

There seems no end to how trivial and farcical some people can get just for the sake of proving points that are utterly baseless or based on the media that in our nation has never been known to be impartial or honest. For reasons best known to media houses they pick their favourite targets and go a mindless rampage stamping on everything that comes their way making a lot of money at the expense of the public who cannot decide the truth when they are bombarded by barrage of lies and skewed sentences and entirely rubbish rumours. The truth is - THE COURT HAS NOT TAKEN ITS COURSE YET!

Take a moment and think when Sankaracharya of Kanchipuram was implicated in a criminal case that he had allegedly masterminded the murder of the manager of the mutt. The truth took long to come to light, but when it did everyone was glad that truth had finally won. Back then media trials were not so uncontrolled, nevertheless there were serious allegations and the media played its part in maligning two innocent religious leaders of our country. Then again, in very recent memory we have the case of Yoga Guru Ramdev who mistreated by police and later dragged into false accusations because of crime that were supposedly committed by his sibling. One cannot find a better case of misuse of media power.

Similar unfortunate incidents are unfolding before our very eyes and this time media's involvement is quiet aggressive and that has already made it quite difficult for the masses in general to get to the core of the matter and seek the truth. One cannot be expected to see the truth when so many versions and untrue interpretations are making the rounds everywhere.

Truth Behind the Narayan Sai Arrest From Haryana

There cannot be an iota of doubt that media and some people with vested interests are hand in glove when it comes to publicly bringing disrepute to his holiness Sant Asaramji Bapu and his son Narayan Sai who have been selfishly offering their services for humanity at large. It is quite unfortunate how the media has resorted to cheap and shameless strategies to sling mud without waiting for the law to take its course.

Incessant criticisms and rumours will not only bring disrepute to these newspapers and erode their credibility, it will also plants seeds of doubt in the minds of the masses. This subversive slander against Narayan Saiji and his father is inappropriate and should not be accepted as the gospel truth, because it is not. It must also be noted that there has been rumours of Saiji absconding from the police whereas the truth is that his lawyer had already filed for anticipatory bail and everyone was hopeful that the court would grant the said bail. To everyone's dismay that was not the outcome. In the face of this development, Saiji's lawyers were contemplating further course of action and with that in mind he was travelling to Delhi and had a rendezvous with police.

Saiji was not running from the law, he has every intention of cooperating with the law and help it take it path. There were hesitations because of the unacceptable treatment meted out to His Holiness Asaramji Bapu. This fact has been kept away from the public that the saint was not even provided adequate medical attention by police despite being aware of his medical conditions. This is nothing less than inhuman and planned by conspirators of the saint. When such inhuman incidents can happen to someone of the standing of His Holiness Asaramji Bapu, how can anyone else have faith on impartiality and justice? One has to consider both sides of the story before coming to a conclusion, and the simple truth in this case is that Saiji was not running from the law!
