When will the lies about Pujya Shree come to an end?

By the time the World War I and 2 was at its peak, the main 2 participants namely United States of America and Germany, were engaged in the different war altogether – it was the war of propaganda. One question which has beguiled social scientists and war experts for years is – how can communication be utilised to create a rift in the society? It was well-known back then that once the society was weakened with propaganda it became much easier for enemies to break it down. Through the use of propaganda, world powers have done many good things but one cannot say that propaganda will always be used for good!

Very recently, we have seen propaganda being used in a very negative way. It has hurt the sentiments of not just the normal Indian, it has indeed broken down many by attacking their trust and love for a person whom they had come to consider as their sole leader – in matters of the heart and that of the soul.

In 1922, a famous expert on propaganda, Walter Lippman published his work known as the Public Opinion. In it he explains his theories on the formation of public opinion he uses the example of a situation that occurred in 1914 which involved three nations namely Germany, France and United Kingdom. His work covered various aspects of how these three countries tried to enforce the law on an island where people were living peacefully for several centuries. These three countries had brainwashed the Islanders into fighting among themselves. The very premise of conducting propaganda is creating some sort of barrier between the public and the event. When this separation occurs, it becomes easy to manipulate and present limited information to the public

. Lippman showed how individuals used media to form their opinions. Media affected the judgement of the people and their imagination and propagandists used this to change the perception of those who accessed media on a regular basis. Now of course we need to understand that the Islanders did not have Internet connections or newspapers but they had access to something primitive but equally powerful as today's TV channels and newspapers. Lippman recognised that by altering the flow of information and limiting the truth in content the public can be forced into forming the wrong perception of the world.

Chattisgarh CM Raman Singh’s Message to State on Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas

The Chief Minister of Chattisgarh State has sent a message on the occasion of Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas that is to be organized throughout the length and breadth of the nation on 14th February, 2014. The event occupies a very significant portion of the heart and souls of people in Chattisgarh partly because this predominantly agrarian society has been in close touch with traditions and customs of India, and partly because Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas is an event that was championed by AsaramJi Bapu, the spiritual guru who has taken immense personal pains in order to ensure the welfare of the people of the state. Furthermore, the very nature of the event has found close resonance with citizens equivocally in villages and urban areas.

It will be remembered that only recently Tribal and Scheduled Caste, Backward Caste, Minority Welfare and Public Health Engineering Departments Minister and The CM issued a directive to schools to organize Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas and now that has been followed up with message that spoke of the great cultural heritage and contribution of the State to the greater Indian society. The message concludes with the joint message which states of their expectation to see Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas being organized at all schools throughout Chattisgarh.

Government Recognizes The Need To Celebrate Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas

We have seen ground changing moments in recent years that have chartered new course for the nation and many that have derailed the development, but it is the good ones that must be highlighted and appreciated. A Saint who has relentlessly contributed to nation building for the last 40 years is none other than AsaramJi Bapu and his contributions are above and beyond everything else.

The most potent way to empower the nation is by empowering the youth and leading children down the right path. This begins in schools, but traditional schools often miss out on what actually constitutes education in the traditional sense. In stark contrast to western education offered in most modern schools, Bal Sanskar Kendras established by Kind AsaramJi Bapu teaches not only what is necessary to farewell in their worldly endeavours but also to get around moral and spiritual hurdles.

Recent society is plagued by mindless following of western traditions and events by teenagers here in India. The outcome of this has been disastrous with many young women ending up getting pregnant. This had to end and so the ritual of Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas was initiated. For several years children all around the globe have benefited by worshipping their parents and now government bodies have accepted the fact that indeed there is a lot to learn and take away from ParamPujya BapuJi's instructions.

In a letter to all schools in Raipur, the Inspector of Schools has directed them to organize Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas and invite parents in the event. This clearly shows that even learned experts of Indian education system know and believe in the need for including the concept of parent worship in school curriculum. This directed was send on behalf of the governor of Chattisgarh which lends even more authority and significance to this matter.

Every single homestead benefits by celebrating Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas

When it comes to welfare of mankind, Hinduism is considered to be at the very top. Saints of the oldest religion on earth has never shied away from taking the bull of evil by its horn and vanquishing it. One such evil that began in the west and entered mainstream Indian lifestyle recently is the celebration of Valentine’s Day. This is the day when uncountable young innocent teenagers indulge in harmful activities such as binge drinking, unprotected sex and violence all in the name of freedom of personal choice. Not only do they do get into vicious cycles like that of teenage pregnancy and alcoholism, they also endanger the lives of bystanders and the aged by driving recklessly or behaving unsociably among elders.

The great Hindu Spiritual Leader AsharamJi Bapu has shown us the right path. He has given us the honourable Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas, where the youth of this nation will pay homage to their parents by worshipping them. The process is so simple yet it captures the essence of celebration and paying respect to our parents who have undertaken several personal sacrifices to make our lives better. 14th February is the day of love as they say in the west, so Kind AsaramJi Bapu shows us the right channel to express our love and gratitude by celebrating Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas.

In all corners of the globe this day has been celebrated with much fanfare by Sadhaks and followers of Pujya Shree and this year the celebrations are all set to reach new heights with even more enthusiastic participants showing their support for the event.

World View on Loving One’s Parents

Param Pujya Shree Asaram BapuJi may have been incarcerated by the Government based on vacuous allegations by the media but his ideas refuse to die down. Matr Pitr Pujan Divas, a day for loving one’s parents is an original conception of our beloved BapuJi and it has met with great applause from all over the world. Religious leaders, political leaders and thought leaders everywhere have resonated similar views, because they understand what BapuJi is trying to accomplish. The world is becoming self-centric, little by little, every day, so much so, that people are forgetting to love their begetters. The same parents who gave them life, cared for them, nurtured them and made them capable of dealing with the harshness that life often throws at us. Matr Pitr Pujan Divas is an appeal to the young men and women all over the globe to come together in showing love to their parents; the most deserving of all.

From ministers like Shree Bhupinder Hooda to Shree Rajnath Singh and film personalities from Bollywood actor Govinda to Arun Govil, have all spoken in praise of the initiative taken by BapuJi and his followers. Religious leaders of Islam like Shree Hamid Chishti of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah have spoken in favour of the day that aims to put one’s parents in spotlight by showing affection and pampering them instead of spending time in pursuit of ephemeral ideals like romantic love. Famous devotional music artist Shree Anup JalotaJi said that this message by BapuJi will make our lives beautiful and Congress MP Shree Sanjay Nirupam have welcomed the steps taken by His Holiness BapuJi.

It is clear that the initiative of beloved Asaram BapuJi has gone down well with all quarters of the society and it sure looks like this day is going to be a great success.

Celebrate Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas - Sant Samaj Message

Sant and Mahapurush in India know the real value of Indian culture and they are therefore leading the masses to do the right thing by celebrating Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas on February 14. Hindu religion is considered by many to be the crown jewel of all religions on earth and enjoys the top spot of all religions. But lately, baseless events like Valentine's Day has overtaken the good in this nation. No good comes out of celebrating this day with such fanfare. It is well known that on Valentine's Day liquor and condoms worth several crores are sold.

Kind AsaramJi Bapu has done all he can to mould public opinion and direct public consciousness to the loss that we are enduring. He was saddened at this which is why he has appealed everyone to stop celebrating Valentine's Day, but not oppose it, but instead celebrate Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas with all pomp and gaiety.

The base of celebrating Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas was laid in 2012 and subsequently it was celebrated in 2013. This year organizers are expecting to reach out to an international audience and include others in this auspicious celebrations. Pujya Shree's initiative has received enormous support from all quarters and congratulating him for his leadership, leaders from all community have expressed their appreciation.

1. ASHOK SINGHAL, VHP: Pujya Shree has given true meaning to the phrase to Matridev Bhawa, Pitridev Bhawa. He has taken such a grand stand to protect Indian culture and civilization.

2. SHAHI IMAM OF AJMER SHAREEF: BapuJi has begun not just a positive trend for the Hindus but for everyone in this nation. I salute him for his leadership and initiative.

Many more renown personalities and religious leaders have unanimously supported the call to celebrate Matru-Pitru Pujan Diwas instead of valentine's Day and we are sure that the day will go down in history as one of the biggest days when parents are celebrated all over the nation.

Media Resumes its series of unfounded news, Says Pujya BapuJi has 10,000 Crores!

Just when we thought that paid media channels had learned its lessons, another round of unverified news have started making the rounds. In the last few days we have been seeing news that talk about Pujya BapuJi being the owner of 10,000 crores! Before we get deeper into that, there are three questions that must be asked.

1. Who are the people making such allegations?

2. How true are these news?

3. Should it make any difference in the case even if there was any truth in it?

The Surat Police has made this statement on record, so perhaps it is true, but let us take a moment and take a look at the following.

1. Wasn't the Surat Police rebuked for falsely declaring Narayan SaiJi an absconder? This despite the fact that he was exercising his constitutional rights and not doing anything illegal.

2. The Rohini Court rebuked Surat police for not bringing important documents to court. Instead the police tried to present evidence on WhatsApp

Even more important is the fact that never for once AsaramJi Bapu has spoken of such wealth ever to his Sadhaks or in public, moreover the media does not have a very clean track record of presenting the truth. Former KGB agents have said that media is an immensely powerful body and it can be used to mould perceptions and prejudices in the public. Even if the sum exists, it would not be hard to understand that with crores of fans it would not take too long or too much of an amount to reach that amount. Therefore, it is of utmost necessity that we consider all of this before believing any of the media stories that have begun appearing recently.

Judicial rap on prosecution to ensure Pujya Bapuji's welfare and health

Since his imprisonment on September 3rd last year there has been countless cases when Sadhaks and the general public has raised concerns about health and welfare of the Saintly septuagenarian. On many occasions, well-wishers have pointed out to law enforcement authorities about the need for providing a safe atmosphere for the under trials as well as prisoners in general. The Home Department as well as the Health Department has been notified by the high Court to provide answers that have been raised in a complaint filed concerning BapuJi's health.

One will remember that AsaramJi Bapu complained of cold and unhygienic conditions at the cells saying that it was troubling him and he was worried for the lack of medical attention provided to him as well as other prisoners at the Jodhpur Central Jail.

The chief of Home Ministry, The Chief of Health and Welfare along with the DG of Jails and the Jailor of Jodhpur Central Jail were all asked to address the issues raised in the petition. High Court Judge Banwarilal Sharma asked the answers to be presented by 10th February, 2014.

Meanwhile, it must be noted that the court has arrived at a verdict in the second case against Pujya AsaramJi Bapu, but the verdict will be kept private as of now.
