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.
