			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"><strong>I am writing</strong> this article after going through all the facts about what is happening these days around us and particularly the role of media in it. I will start with the latest flood of allegations against Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu. If we look at the whole episode with a little common sense than the whole matter will be crystal clear in front of us. I am feeling sorry for our so called intelligent media as how can they miss on these flaws. Or on the other hand, are they intentionally not showing the other side of the coin? If yes, then who is the one holding their hands for not showing the truth?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Let us start incident by incident with the first one that was happened in Ahmedabad. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"><img src="http://www.mynews.in/images/dbe64561-8943-40d8-8795-e2ae7bd5e275asaramji%20gurukul--248--1.jpg" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Two innocent gurukul children were found dead near Sabarmati River on 16/07/2008. Now as this issue is under investigation, therefore, I will not say much about it. Though there are some common things which even a blind man can see. However, our innocent public, who can believe whatever is shown to them buy our media, could not see/understand the conspiracy done behind it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Ahemdabad Incident</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Everyone knows that 18/07/2008 was an auspicious Guru Poonam day and on this day millions of Bapu followers come to Ahmedabad Ashram every year to take the blessings from their Guru. The program for this year was the same. Now if you just go a little deep into the incident that was occurred then you will find that something is fishy in it. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Point No. 1. -</span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> <span> </span>The kids were found missing on 03/07/2008 and a search was made for them but no one could find them. As per some other gurukul kids they were promised by someone that in the evening they will come and take them to show “Rath Yatra” in a car. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Now the question arises is that who were they who promised them for a free ride? Why only to gurukul kids and that too in a hidden way? This shows that a plot was made and somebody came there to execute it on that day. Hence, there is a possibility that someone came on that day and took the kids away from a particular location.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify">
Point No. 2 –</p>
<p></span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> <span> </span>Now kids were found missing on 03/07/2008, however, no clue was found and suddenly on 16/07/2008 somebody found them dead near Sabarmati River. Then on 17/07/2008 there was no reaction from people and on 18/07/2008, right on Guru Poonam when millions of followers were scheduled to come to ashram, Ahmedabad band was announced when Vaghela family (Parents of deceased children) was not even in favor of it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">This shows another chapter of the same story that was started on 03/07/2008. As per the plan, bodies of the departed souls were kept near Sabarmati River and an announcement was made. A plan was already ready, therefore, on 18/07/2008 they showed their anger and Ahmedabad band was called. The question arises is that why was nothing happened in between from 03/07/2008 till 16/07/2008? Was somebody waiting for some particular day? There is again a chance of high possibility that this was done to disrupt the Guru Poonam celebrations at Ashram.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Point No. 3 – </span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span> </span>On 18/07/2008, different groups of anti social elements were scattered all over Ahmedabad and destroyed public property and harassed people that were going towards Ashram. They were beaten up and were stopped on the way towards ashram. People who were waiting in the queue for Bapu’s darshan were also harassed and many incidents of chain snatching were happened over there. Few people who were part of this mob entered into the Ashram (wearing white kurta-pajamas, claiming to be Bapu’s follower) and destroyed the vehicles which were in the parking of Ashram. Now why would sadhaks (Bapu followers) who were present inside the Ashram destroy their own vehicles? Why would sadhaks attack on other sadhaks who are coming to ashram?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">When some of these anti social elements were held by Ashram people then they admitted that they have been hired by giving Rs.200 to do these activities in the bandh. As per some other sources, none of these were from Ahmedabad. Everyone in Ahmedabad very well knows Bapu and could not do this heinous act against him. As per an unofficial statement, 2 trucks full of these people were brought from Vadodara to disrupt activities in Ahmedabad Ashram. Hence, there is a possibility that other such people were also hired and brought down to Ahmedabad in trucks from different regions just to do this act. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">From all the above points what I can infer is that a well planned high level conspiracy was done against Bapu and media just showed one aspect of it and that too in a way that the image of Saint gets diminished, who is a source of inspiration for millions of people around the world. This also raises questions against the media. Are they also been funded by some agencies to show only one part of the story and that too in a negative way?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Chhindwara Incident</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">After Ahmedabad, the next target was Chhindwara. Here, on 29/07/2008 and 31/07/2008 again two innocent gurukul children were killed and found dead in the bathroom of gurukul. Thankfully, local police solved this case and found another gurukul student “Rituraj” accountable for this crime with proper evidence. Media just showed this much and raised questions against Chindwara Ashram authorities and accused them of not taking care of children. This was done when parents of both the deceased children gave a clean chit to the Ashram and even they stated that some conspiracy has been done against ashram. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Now come to the other part of the story. These respectful investigative media persons did not even try to do a background check of Rituraj. Nobody tried to enquire whether or not there is a criminal case pending against his father? Whether or not there is a criminal history of his uncle? What is their financial background? How come within a month this family managed to get a brand new Qualis when the financial condition of the family is not too good? How come their lifestyle improved? Where did they suddenly get so much money from? Why after the death of Ramkrishan on 29/07/2008 this guy told Ramkrishan’s uncle to also take his child out of the gurukul otherwise the same thing can happen to his child? Just to add up, this guy was admitted to gurukul, just few days back on 10/07/2008. As a result, just like Ahmedabad Chindwara bandh was also called and mob attacked ashram people and destroyed ashram property. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"></span><span class="storytext"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Again the question arises, was this also a well planned incident? Who are financially assisting these people to do these acts? Our media, again showed only one side of the coin and did not even try to find out the truth behind it. Are they also likely to be involved? Is there a big nexus that is working against Bapu and Hindu Saints? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Physical assault </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">In a row of incidents that were happening, all of a sudden from nowhere a lady came into picture and started accusing Bapu for physical assault. The interview of this lady was shown live on one of the News channel. Now would you call it an irresponsible behavior of media or an intentional attempt of them to show this without even researching about the facts? The lady claimed that the incident was happened with her at Rewari in 2001. Just to let you know that Bapu is a famous personality and wherever he does satsang the whole world knows about it. It gets published on Ashram’s monthly magazine “Rishi Prasad” and along with that the dates of satsang are shown on several satellite TV channels. Hence, every day of Bapu or every famous person for that matter, gets registered. If they would have researched the truth about the dates she has claimed then they could have easily found out that Bapu was not in Rewari in the year 2001. Secondly, why after so many years this lady suddenly came into picture and started accusing Bapu? If this thing was happened to her then where was she during these many years? Why didn’t she report this to police? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Now the question that arises over here is, was this thing made up? Was the lady hired by someone? Was the news channel intentionally showed the live interview without any research? Was it planned to highlight this kind of thing after the Ahmedabad and Chindwara incidents to diminish the image of Saint?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Other Issues</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">There are many other incidents that happened side by side like blaming Bapu’s son Narayan Sai, Ashram’s land issue, raid at godhra pharmacy, questions against neem tel when it has already got approval from the government stating that no poisonous substance has been detected in it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Indian Saints or Indian Culture?</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Now, the big question is why all these things are happening against Bapu? Here, I would like to mention that this has happened almost with every popular Saint in India. Remember the allegations against Sathya Sai Baba, then against Shankracharya Jayant Saraswati, and most recently Swami Ramdev? Hence, it is not a particular Saint that is on the target but it is our rich Indian Culture which on its own is growing rapidly and the whole world very well the potential of it. However, some people do not like if we are growing with that pace. They know that Dharma is the only thing that is uniting all Indians and the major reason behind our growth.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">The answer of this is again an assumption, however, has a very high possibility of being true. Also, it is a very broad picture that comes into our mind and need a genuine consideration with a clear and focused mind. Everyone knows that Bapu is a well known saint in India and has millions of followers all over the world. One fact is that as they are followers of Bapu, therefore, they are united, practice religion and make sure that Indian culture never die. You would agree that every saint who has some followers are definitely united and practice religion. Many of these people are also responsible for the growth of India and because of them India is set to become a super power. Even Bapu’s dream is also to see India at a position of “Vishwa Guru” by 2011. The possibilities of involvement of these people in any criminal activities or bad deeds are close to zero. The reason behind is there inclination towards spirituality. Clearly, these things are not at all liked by the anti social elements.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">We know that world is facing grave danger today. With sharp fall in social, cultural and human values, mutual distrust and jealousy are increasing in the society, taking human beings far away from good values. Instead of providing security, cases of women being raped and murdered in the order of the day are becoming very common. In such a depressive scenario, spiritualism is the only way left to get rid of this situation. The teachings of saints and seers who have studied the human nature and intricacies of the life are useful and relevant. Our scriptures explain in detail such ideals, which are based on our culture, religion and philosophy. Hence, our Saints show people the right way of life and increase the capabilities of individuals. This is strengthening our culture, however, anti social elements want to destroy the roots of Indian culture completely. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Therefore, if one diminishes an image of a Saint then definitely it will have an impact on his followers and there belief in that Saint gets shattered. In turn, they will get divided and may follow a wrong direction. These people get vulnerable and can get easily molded. Hence, the anti social elements will become successful in destroying our culture. Because Bapu has millions of followers, therefore, if they succeed in their attempt then they can divide millions of people. Hence, by attacking popular saints one can easily divide the unity between there followers and in turn can break India and Indian culture. They want to take Dharma out of this country and want to weaken this country. Wise, sensible and intellectual people know that this country cannot survive without Dharma. Dharma is the only thing that is uniting us and guiding us in many ways and showing us different ways to become successful. Now the people/group/agency that wants to break the integrity of India and wants India not to flourish and follow the western way, has a soft target in front of them to do so and that is to attack Indian Saints. They know that because of them most Indians are united and are following religion and doing good things in life and being a part of India’s success. But they can’t see India and Indian culture growing and want us to lack behind in everything. They want us to consume coke, pepsi and these kinds of things so that it weakens our health and in turn we can’t grow physically and mentally. That is the reason when Swami Ramdev openly condemned the use of soft drinks then he was attacked as per the plan. Major reason was because after the popularity of Swami Ramdev, the sales of these companies were dropped very heavily. Just for your knowledge, the quantities of contents that are included in these soft drinks in India are much different from what it is in US.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Hence, it is a very broad issue and it needs to be investigated religiously and one should go into the depth of it. The attack is not only against our Saints but also against our culture which is the strongest in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Role of media</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">The role of media is also very suspicious in these matters, which again raises many doubts in our mind. If you recollect, when the allegations against Shankracharya were made then it was the breaking news for almost all the channels and they focused on this issue for about a week. They completely tried to diminish the image of Shankracharya claiming that he has an affair with a women and charges of sexual assault. At that time people said that he cannot even get a bail and will get life sentence. However, when court case was filed against him and he came out of the court with a clean chit then no one showed anything about it. No one then put this news as breaking news. The only question is. Why? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Same happened when nothing was found in Swami Ramdev’s medicines. The issue was hyped as if he has done some murder and again it was breaking news. However, later when nothing was found then news channels also showed nothing on it. In the same way, media never showcased the good things that are being done by Bapu’s various ashrams in all over India. Free clothes, food, money that get distributed by Ashram on regular basis to poor people living in tribes all over India has never telecasted by media. The 100% result of the gurukuls has never been reported by media. They just know how to diminish the image of our Saints and that too without any evidences and without knowing the facts.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Media or Trial courts</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span class="storytext"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Media has nowadays become so irresponsible that they are showing whatever they want to. As per the law, media has to show the version of the person against whom they are showing/writing in their respective channels/newspapers. However, they hardly do this. They even take the version of that person just to comply with the law, however, will show that in such a way that it does not impact their made up story. It seems that media is now our country’s new judicial arm. Without knowing the facts they start their trial on the person and make him/her an accused of a crime.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Even our supreme court Chief Justice Mr. K.G. Balakrishnan has himself mentioned in one of his programs that “media trial” of pending cases is a wrong practice. The tendency of newspapers and news channels to carry unverified reports posed a danger to a free and fair constitutional judicial process. The manner in which “the modern media and telecommunications” intruded into a person’s life and caused embarrassing and damaging publicity, if left unchecked, would become “alarming.” The media trial, conveying public opinion in favour of one side or the other, particularly in criminal matters, had become increasingly frequent in recent times. Even before the court trial began, the accused was being shown as guilty.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"></span><span class="storytext"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">This questioned the very premise on which the judicial system was based — the right of every party involved in a court proceeding to have his case adjudicated in a free, fair and unbiased manner. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">Justice Balakrishnan said the media were a sentinel of democratic freedom. It was the responsibility of every person associated with the media to act responsibly with a sense of duty towards society and the nation. In fact, journalists were “vigilant watchdogs of civil liberties.” The right of the media to report court proceedings emanated from the right of the citizen to know. The media also had the duty to report fairly, objectively and accurately. He said the media should be wary of allowing itself to become a vehicle for exerting “mass pressure” as opposed to a “mere expression of mass opinion.”</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><span class="storytext">What I strongly believe is that nothing will come out in all the made up cases against Bapu in the end. Media is hyping this issue to increase their channels TRP and may be for some other reason and once the issue gets resolved they will hardly show anything. Their only motive is to show what they want to show and diminish the image of Saints. Are they doing it under somebody else’s guidance? Is there a nexus of these people? These questions are for us to think about and let us pray that an unbiased investigation gets done in this case and the real picture comes out in front of us. I hope that this whole episode will turn in a blessing for all of us and results in a more powerful and strong Indian culture. At the end, we should also not forget Newton’s law that to every action<strong> </strong>there is always opposed an equal reaction.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>INDIA IS known to be a country of saints and gurus. Since prehistoric period, teachings of these great souls have made our lives more meaningful. Guru-shishya tradition is followed since ancient time. Guru Nanak Dev, Sai Baba, Gautam Buddha were the historic gurus of our land and the whole world acknowledges their teachings. Even today large section of society worships them and tag on their life with the teachings given by them. The guru-shishya discipline also has great importance in our religious epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc.</p>
<p>This tradition has been continued in today’s modern world as well, great souls like Asaram Bapu, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Ram Dev and many other religious gurus are working for the uplift of the society and preach the existence of one supreme conscience in every human being &#8211; be it Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or anyone else. Society recognises their work and teachings and many people become their devotees.</p>
<p>But, in the recent past, we have seen some acts of defaming these divine souls, which comes as a shock. Some unsocial elements, which don’t want our country to be developed and can’t see peace in the society are denigrating our gurus.</p>
<p>The recent cases of violence against Asaram Bapu is the live instance of defaming a saint where a normal case of accident been transformed into a very dangerous political game.</p>
<p>Two students of the Asaram’s Gurukul were found dead along the coast of Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad. After police investigation and postmortem reports, it was concluded that their deaths were due to drowning in the river. But the father of the children who doesn’t have any forensic knowledge, raised questions against the reports and after this, some people abruptly came on the streets and started burning cars, buses etc. These goons might be hired by people, who are against the Ashram cult. In the garb of the death of two Gurukul inmates, there lies a malicious attempt to defame a saint who is harmonising the world. It may be a dirty game of politics. This may have happened with the support of some political parties and other violent groups in Gujarat, which did their level best to defame Asaram Bapu. Still, people in large numbers gathered at different ashrams of the saint all around the country at the festival of Guru Purnima. Thousands of followers from Faridabad reached at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, where a peaceful protest was organised by them.</p>
<p>Sanjay Sharma, a devotee from Faridabad said, &#8220;Asaram Bapuji teaches us lesson from Geeta and media is defaming him by saying that ’tantra mantra’ is done by him; so they are indirectly blaming Geeta for ’tantra mantra’ and you could check CDs and cassettes of him, you will not find anything related to tantra!&#8221;</p>
<p>Another devotee added, &#8220;Sentiments of lakhs of people have been hurt because of biased reports shown in media.&#8221; In other cases of Chindawada, Madhya Pradesh, electronic media again tried to defame Asaram Bapu before the police solved the case, which proved how bogus were those news reports shown by the media.</p>
<p>Electronic media is also responsible for this violent streak. Their reports seemed counterfeit and were focussed on TRP instead of reality. It looks as if they have forgotten their social responsibility. For this, they bear the anger of devotees too. Apart from this, there were many defamatory attempts against many of the saints.</p>
<div>
<div id="otherbycj"><strong class="org"></strong></div>
</div>
<p>But anti-social elements and corrupt politicians have forgotten that Indian people have so strong a conviction in their culture and religion that defaming anybody would not have any effect on their beliefs and therefore, it will never serve anyone’s profit motive.Even in the past, saints like Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak Dev and many others had to face defamation from negative elements. Since time immemorial we have seen that whenever a saint comes to uplift the society also come his foes. One can say that God incarnates himself only in the form of saints to ward off those negative elements and works for the betterment of the downtrodden.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>In what points at an ‘outside hand’, particularly with respect to deaths of Ramkrishna and Vedant at Chhindwara, a national newspaper came out with a sensational ‘premonition’ on Friday, August 1. One newspaper posted a news item on its website titled ’Now, fifth child found dead at an Asaram Ashram’, reporting a child death that had actually not occurred!</div>
<div></div>
<div>It ‘broke the news’ in its typical style: “In yet another case of mystery death, a boy was found dead at Asaram Bapu ashram in Ahmedabad on Friday. ( Watch ).” Although there was no reference at all to the ‘FIFTH CHILD FOUND DEAD’ elsewhere in the report except in the title and in the very first paragraph, it received almost 100 responses from outraged readers across the world. Quite predictably, they believed the report and suspected multiple murders.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The webcast was also picked up by vernacular and local tabloids and received wide publicity. Luckily, it failed to incite passions and trigger violence as earlier. After all, Ahmedabad was just limping back to normalcy after serial bombs killed 50 the previous weekend.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Incidentally, a judicial inquiry has been instituted by Gujarat. The dead boys’ parents discontinued their ‘fast unto death’ to demand justice as they expressed faith in due process. Similarly, in Chhindwara, Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Chandrashekhar Neelkanth ordered a magisterial probe into the incident. Moreover, both parents of deceased children expressed their full faith in the school management. Puja Manmodhe, mother of Vedant, declared, “We don’t want the authorities to conduct the post-mortem of the boy.” She went on to say, “even if the school management is found guilty (of negligence) after a probe, we don’t want any action against them.” Vedant’s little sister will continue to study in the school.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Certain persons in the media house that broke the sensational story about the fifth death, apparently, had some premonition about it. This newspaper seems to be only one to be aware of this particular mystery. Perhaps, it didn’t come true due to some last minute glitch, like it happens in terrorist bombings.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Earlier, three scribes of this newspaper claimed to have ‘discovered’ that there was “no way” that two dead boys of Ahmedabad could have walked down to the place where the bodies were found in the riverbed. This ‘discovery’ flashed in the front page was supposedly based on their own personal experience! They were apparently part of a mob of 500 that attempted to barge into the Ashram to quiz Asaram, when he had gone there. The game-plan of the self-styled guardians of justice, who expected the treatment normally extended by corporate houses facing bad publicity, had been foiled by the police.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Some more journalists had set up a person, advertised as an uncle of the dead boys, to fabricate news for this tabloid. This gentlemen was portrayed as representing ’five crore Gujaratis’ demanding closure of the ashram.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>
<div id="otherbycj"><strong class="org"></strong></div>
</div>
<p>He was unconcerned that the parents were satisfied with ongoing probe and ended their fast-unto-death! Incidentally, a local mob of Chhindwara too staged a violent demonstration demanding the closure of the Ashram there, even as the parents had given a clean chit.</p></div>
<div></div>
<div>It appears that the children’s death at Chhindwara was the handiwork of elements with vested interests in the closure of the Ashrams in Gujarat, MP and elsewhere. A ‘fifth mysterious death’ might have been planned to drum up public sentiments in favour of this demand.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Who planted the story of “a boy found dead at Asaram Bapu ashram in Ahmedabad on Friday”? The fictitious ‘fifth murder’ that did not happen and was reported even before it was successful may hold the key about the mystery. Probing this may lead to conspirators, who most probably include some journalists!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;">Even very active, experienced and senior journalists in Ahmedabad had never heard about <em>Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti</em> before Asaram Bapu gurukul’s two boys mysterious death issue came into limelight. In last two weeks, this unregistered, unrecognized outfit <em>Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti</em> has announced two strikes in Ahmedabad and Gujarat. This outfit also organized a rally in Ahmedabad. Outfit grabbed considerably well media coverage too in Asaram issue. It is a general perception in media and among public that this outfit is self raised peoples body. But is this really a fact? </span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;">DeshGujarat investigated in this issue to know basic truth about this outfit whose strike calls resulted in torching of more than 40 vehicles, stone pelting at several places, closure of trade worth millions, and dozens of people injured in Ahmedabad. Interestingly, both strike calls announced by this outfit were supported by Congress party. And when we looked deeper into the organizational structure of <em>Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti</em>, we found this outfit not only Congress supported one but more or less like a mask and Congress party behind it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Vice president of <em>Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti</em> is  Mr. Naresh Shah who is secretary of <em>Gujarat pradesh youth Congress</em>. On his visiting card, his office address is shown as <em>Rajeev Gandhi Bhavan, behind V.S. hospital, Paldi, Ahmedabad 7</em> which is a Gujarat Congress headquarter address. General Secretary of this outfit Mr. Nirav Bakshi is also former General Secretary of <em>NSUI</em> which is a student wing of Congress party. Nirav Bakshi is son of Congress corporater Surendra Bakshi who is leader of opposition in Ahmedabad muncipal Corporation. Gujarat Congress vice president Ashok Punjabi has been appointed as an adviser of this outfit recently after rickshaw union under his leadership supported the strike calls. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">However president of <em>Jagega Gujarat</em> Mr. Prakash Kapadiya who has import-export business claims his outfit is non-political. President of another self-created body ‘Gujarat merchant chamber’ Kapadiya says, he himself bared the expenses of 1,30,000 Rs. newspaper advertisements for announcement of strike. He claims he does this only for social cause. He also claims that Narendra Modi does get frightened by his name because of his high voltage public movements such as Octroi abolishment and Asaram issue where government had to succumb. Meeting between governor of Gujarat and Asaram Bapu gurukul’s two dead boys’ parents was also organized by Kapadiya. Kapadiya is not happy with the recent decision of dead boys parents to meet the chief minister to end indefinite fast without getting their demand of CBI probe fulfilled. Parents of dead boys had earlier even not supported Gujarat wide strike call announced by <em>Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti. </em> Gujarat wide strike call was a failure out of Ahmedabad.<br />
<em><br />
Jagega Gujarat sangharsh samiti </em>is going to organize a press conference on Sunday. Latest demand of this outfit is to kick out Asaram ashram from Ahmedabad and Gujarat! Interestingly this latest demand was originally coined out recently in a Gujarati column by famous columnist whose proximity with Congress is decades long and undoubted. His book was inaugurated by Congress president’s political advisor. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goons were hired by people, who are against Sant Asaram Ashram and Hindu sanskriti to create chaos, in the name of two dead gurukul inmates on &#8216;Guru Poornima&#8217;. Author opines about the truth behind the death of two children and the following events..</p>
<div><strong>THE TRUTH behind the incidence of ’Guru Poonam’ in Ahmedabad.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Would the sadhaks break the glasses of their own vehicles? If no, then it’s conspiracy hatched by those who are against Ashram and the Hindu sanskriti.</li>
<li>Would the ashram authorities or Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu hire goons to harm the devotees coming from all parts of the country. If no, then the media is conniving against the Ashram sevadhaaris and coordinators, and is attempting to blemish the image of venerable Sant Asaram Bapuji.</li>
<li>Goons were hired by people, who are against Ashram and Hindi sanskriti, to create chaos. In the name of death of two gurukul inmates, it’s a malicious attempt to defame saint who is revered all over the world. It’s a dirty game of politics.</li>
<li>The goons hired for this malevolent task damaged and burnt the vehicles of sadhaks.</li>
<li>Stones were pelted on the pedestrian sadhaks and they were trampled under bikes. Notwithstanding this ruthless behaviour, the sadhaks marched forward.</li>
<li>Sadhaks traveling by bus were made to get down and were insulted. The ladies were molested.</li>
<li>Those non social elements tried to instill a feeling of fear inside the ashram compound.</li>
<li>Respected Bapuji constantly kept appealing to his disciple to maintain peace, till all became peaceful. And asked sadhaks to do chanting of Mantra &#8220;Om Hreem Om&#8221;.</li>
<li>Bapuji personally visited the grieving families of those two boys and paid his condolence.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The truth behind the death of the two gurukul students.</strong></p>
<p>The gurukul authorities got into action immediately on getting the doubt that two of the gurukul inmates are missing. On July 4th, 2008, at around 11am in the morning, the gurukul coordinator, along with the parents of the missing children, went to the ChaandKhera outpost and Adaalaja police station to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) for the matter. The police officials dissuaded the authorities from lodging an FIR, suggesting that the kids may have gone to see the Rath Yatra or any nearby place, and should come back on their own. With due approval from the parents, the FIR was not registered.</p>
<ul>
<li>Nevertheless, a team of 50-60 sevadhaaris was sent out to the Rath Yatra to search the missing kids. In addition to this, teams were also sent to railway station and bus depot. Hence, the allegations of not cooperating are totally unjustified and baseless.</li>
<li>Ashram authorities had never requested anyone to abstain from reporting this matter to media. On the contrary, the authorities themselves were using media to good effect in order to find the missing children. Pictures of the missing boys were published in a news paper. The news was also broadcasted on Citi cable and Doordarshan.</li>
<li>As for the delay in lodging the FIR, the Gurukul coordinator had gone to the police station on July 3rd itself. But, the on duty officer suggested waiting for some time, and checking with the relatives of the missing boys. It was on insistence from the parents that an FIR was lodged. Gurukul coordinator was accompanying the parents at that time.</li>
<li>Ashram does not indulge in any kind of tantric experiments. In fact, it is always discouraged in the ashram. Hence these kinds of allegations are totally untruthful and groundless.</li>
<li>To avoid the strict surveillance at the main gate of the ashram, the boys must have chosen to escape from the backside, which is close to the river. As a result, this unfortunate incidence happened. On July 5th, 2008 the authorities were informed of their dead bodies found in a drowned state, around 2-2.5km away from the ashram compound. The birds and animals were pecking at the dead bodies. The claims from ashram are further corroborated by the autopsy and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) reports, which state that drowning was the cause of the death.</li>
<li>The local people, staying near the ashram, had spotted the dead bodies even before the ashram got any news on the matter. Out of panic, the local people did not inform the police. During police investigation, this fact also came forward. Ashram helped the police in every possible way, but still they are being accused of not cooperating.</li>
<li>According to police, in case of death by drowning, because of remaining under water two to three days, the body swells and starts floating on the surface. This is clearly evident in this case. A crowd had gathered around the dead bodies, and seeing this crowd a visitor got the news of some dead bodies found near the ashram compound. He later informed the ashram authorities of this, and the matter was reported to police. The police then took the custody of the dead bodies.</li>
<li>When police took charge of the dead bodies, they were in a decomposed state and pecked at by birds and animals.</li>
<li>When Bapuji was informed of this unfortunate incident he paid his condolences for the deceased and all the ashramites and sadhaks to read the seventh chapter of Gita for peace to the departed souls.
<div></div>
<p>Thereafter sadhaks from different places in Gujarat prayed for the peace of the departed soul.</li>
<li>In the face of this trouble, all the sadhaks are standing united with the families of the boys who suffered this terrible loss. Thousand of sadhaks are paying condolence to the grieving family.</li>
<li>Ashram authorities have left no stone unturned in helping in investigation. Every piece of information has been provided with a complete transparency on the matter. They have worked with media and police on every aspect of the case, and are ready to share all information, should someone desire any explanation.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20080718/i/r3491020334.jpg?x=400&amp;y=258&amp;sig=u1QXMgKVMXfvfP.QO7WmAQ--" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="right" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Guessings are greater than Post Moterm reports?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">And coming to the Asaram issue. Two children were extra smart and as per what they told to their classmates they were planning to go to see Rathyatra. When their bodies were found, dogs were feeding on it. postmortem report says that they were drowned, hair loss on one body was due to the fact that body remained in water for 3 days. There were clear signs of animals bites on the body found in post postmortem. Postmortem was done under video cameras. Forensic science laboratory’s reports are yet to come.(<a href="http://hariomgroup.googlepages.com/img250.jpg">Click here</a> for preliminary report’s findings published in Ahmedabad Mirror) Why Gujaratis are disturbing Gujarat on this issue?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Media is Business….And some time politics</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">One dying media house started encashing Asaram Gurukul incident for sensation and it got good response. That newspaper was not in discussion for long long time but came back to peoples’ attention, thanks to hipped death of two children and series of campaign like articles about that. Another media house wanted to put people against the government encashing this incident to disturb a chief minister. One more newspaper also had to jump in aggressive reporting of hipped incident due to competition and circulation oriented obvious reasons.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20080718/i/r1343369490.jpg?x=400&amp;y=257&amp;sig=SBr0Z9iQPiPkZ0mzNk1mKQ--" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="left" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Practice of mud throwing, Business of sentiments started, provocations through pens boomed.NGOs whose name we had never heard(Jagega Gujarat!!)jumped in, politicians rushed in. Congress president Siddharth Patel extended support in a public statement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20080718/i/r1115376761.jpg?x=400&amp;y=256&amp;sig=9Acx.GTHVf0h1mvlsLPH0g--" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="left" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>40 vehicles were torched in a single day in Ahmedabad<br />
Media justifies this as peoples’ anger!! Are we living in fools’ world?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Haa Haa!! This was a Collective exercise of making an undisciplined society. A society with stones in their hands. A society on the streets, victims in hospitals, Ambulances and firefighting vehicles on run. Just two childrens’ death and we are so sentimental, we are so fragile, we are so amazing that Newspapers and Congress first provocated and then justified and fueled peoples’ violence. In Ahmedabad people torched 40 vehicles in a single days. Devotees Hindu brothers who were coming from rural, tribal and naxalite areas of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and other parts of India for Gurupoornima were not helped but attacked in the city of Ahmedabad by the Hindu people(<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/hariomgroup/Web_Display">Click here</a> for some pictures). AMTS buses were broken, Crores of Rs. trade closed. Media and Congress justifies this in the name of peoples’ movement. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20080718/i/r710467324.jpg?x=400&amp;y=228&amp;sig=wkMUBpkqHEP0egN7LTaQ8A--" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="right" /><br />
<strong><br />
Should every Crime incident invite Bandh and protests?<br />
Wow … Bravo … This is Gujarat in 21st century’s 8th year</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In Maninagar area last week in one school sweeper allegedly abused a girl physically. People gathered at Maninagar police station next day and pelted stones at police station. Strike was declared in Maninagar. Media justified peoples’ acts in it’s coverage. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">So now at every crime incident media can provide you a fuel and you can run on the streets with stones in hands, you can torch vehicles, you can declare ‘one day strike’ and media even will justify that in the name of peoples’ anger. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">And in the year 2008 that is 8th year of 21st century, we are making this Gujarat. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll107/gujarat/jami.jpg?t=1216616258" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="left" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Why Muslim leader went to Anti-Asaram camp?<br />
We are making Christian Missionary’s work easier …</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Even today one Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation run local transport bus is torched by the people in Ranip area. Media will cover this as peoples’ anger and will justify it. Good going Gujarat, good going. Jamiyat-e-ulema-e-Hind chief Maulana Habib Ul Rehman visited anti Asaram camp today along with Mufti Mohammad Azam, Mufti Mahammad Ashraf, Yunus Sabuvala, Razabhai, Hanifbhai Ibrahim Sheikh. Muslims and Christian missionaries are most beneficial entities in whole Asaram issue. Muslims are happy and joined anti Asaram strike due to obvious reasons that when Hindus fight among one another Muslims should be happy. Christian missionaries must be happy because their main rival in Gujarat, Bapu Asaram who has deep penetration in tribal area as a respected saint is fought by Hindus themselves. Mud throwing on Asaram, weaker Asaram is beneficial for missionaries. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll107/gujarat/as.jpg?t=1216613208" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="249" align="left" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Who is sponsoring this?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In fact somebody is sponsoring Anti-Asaram (and that way anti-Hindu) campaign. Somebody is there. Look at these headlines in two major newspapers. Both the headlines are ditto same to same(watch the photo). How this can be possible? Who sponsored Anti-Asaram headline in these two newspapers? Only paid advertisement campaign can be ditto same, but not the headlines(word to word-space to space same). Yes, but we are in the era of paid headlines too. Who paid it? Do you know? On Sandesh’s website GSPC KG basin 22 Gas finding was leading headline, but suddenly after midnight headline was changed to ‘Today’s Ahmedabad bandh against Asaram’ and in newspaper too this headline mastered the front page. Who is playing behind the curtain? Election are near. Who is playing? Asaram has amazing amount of work in rivalry to Christian Missionaries in tribal deep areas. Who is playing behind the curtain? Who wants disturbed Ahmedabad? Defamed Gujarat? One senior journalist who has been life long Congress-man, who had demanded Congress ticket for becoming MLA, whoes book was inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi’s political adviser(who is a Muslim), who made millions in Congress ruled Gujarat(and wants Congress back in Gujarat so that he can make millions again), who is Sent Xavier’s alumni, who enjoys Christin missionary fathers as hosts when he is in Rome, who has influence over two media houses of Gujarat is just an instrument.(Link-Missionaries-Sonia Gandhi-Her Muslim Political adviser-His pet and friend senior Congress-man journalist who wrote Asaram was liquor merchant etc-Two media houses under his influence.One needs circulation other needs anti Modi movement-mislead people-mislead sadhaks-other media houses joined for competition and also because their journalists were beaten by mislead sadhaks-riots,strikes,anti government, anti BJP, anti Narendra Modi anti influential Hindu sadhu Asaram Bapu feelings-weaker BJP-weaker Gujarat-weaker Asaram-Christian conversions-Loksabha elections).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AT THE Asaram Bapu Ashram in Chandkeda area in the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Guru Purnima is celebrated as a grand affair. Lakhs of followers of a religious icon, born as Aasumal Sirumalani and popular as Sant Sri Asaram Bapu, congregate from far and wide. The globe-trotting TV evangelist usually returns to the ashram, which has been in existence on the banks of Sabarmati river since 30 years, in time to give a discourse and real-life ‘darshan’ to these devotees. The occasion is their way of expressing gratitude for what they believe they learnt from this ‘Guru’.</p>
<div>This year, the day that fell on July 18 was rather gloomy. A shutdown had been called in the city by disgruntled followers of the Bapu. Even though Asaram landed the previous day, most of the over a lakh followers were stranded and could not reach the destination of the spiritual visit. The ‘bandh’ was ostensibly to protest against the tragic death of two young inmates of the ashram earlier in the month. The media looking for juicy news drummed up a hysteria about alleged diabolic practices of sorcery at the Ashram. Local Congress leaders, looking desperately for any issue to embarrass the Narendra Modi government readily obliged them by inciting violence. In this context, Modi is against bandhs that disrupt peoples’ welfare to press demands. He had the guts to dissociate Gujarat from a bandh to protest against Amarnath shrine land imbroglio, by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) recently.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The two cousins, Dipesh Vaghela and Abhishek Vaghela, in their pre-teens, had been enrolled as ’shishyas’ (students) in 5th and 6th classes at the Gurukul (residential school) in June. On July 3, in the night roll call after dinner they were missing. The boys were keen, according to other boys, to go to enjoy fun at ’rath yatra’ the next day. So, after the parents denied their having returned home, teams were sent to search for them in the city. The police advised them to wait for a day to lodge missing persons’ complaint as such children usually return on their own. Two days later, their bodies were sighted in disfigured condition deep on the river bed. Ashram authorities called the police and the post mortem report indicated death by accidental drowning – not a rare occurrence in the river.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Praful Vaghela, Dipesh’s father, did not accept it as accident. He said, “we suspect foul play. How come they (the boys) could go out in the night despite strict security in the ashram? Our children had no bad habits. Police told us they found Rs1,100 in their pockets. Where did the money come from? We never gave them the money. The claims of Gurukul authorities are patently false.” He added that the children were murdered as part of an esoteric ritual and went ahead with giving details of such black magic. Praful said, “my son was killed by someone from the ashram who used black magic&#8230;. The bodies of the two boys had several injury marks at different places. Dipesh’s head had been shaved off. He was completely bald before being killed.” It was true that some portions of the decomposed body were not recognisable. Authorities had considered that scavenger animals and birds might have preyed upon the corpses – again, not a rare occurrence in the river.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Uday Sanghani, Asaram Gurukul spokesperson stated, “we have been looking for them. When some of their friends told us that the two boys were very keen to see the ’rath yatra’, we searched for them in the ’yatra’ too…. They (police) refused to register a case immediately when we reported about the two boys who went missing from the Gurukul. They told us to wait for a day.” He denied that black magic of any sort was practiced at the Gurukul.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The other parent, Shantilal Vaghela, Abhishek’s father, was not that sure about the black magic theory and said, “someone from the ashram might have persuaded the boys to venture out of the ashram.” Interestingly, the Vaghelas live in Nirnay Nagar, a shoddy township predominantly inhabited by lower middle class, hardly five kilometres from the Gurukul premises. It is not known why the boys had to be sent off to live in the hostel, when most children commute to far-off schools. From the way Praful vividly explained things, he is apparently well versed in black magic tactics. If such skullduggery was indeed practiced, it is a little far-fetched that he was not aware of facilities/life obtaining at a place so nearby. Obviously, the family needs to be investigated thoroughly to solve the mystery. Even before probing certain as-yet-unanswered questions about the mystery, Praful Vaghela went on a ’fast unto death’ demanding closing down of the ashram, possibly to ward off interrogation.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Meantime, Sunil Banerjee, the person who had sighted the bodies, had left Ahmedabad. Sanghani could not say where he could have gone and told the police, “he just came for a short visit and left in due course.” A big din was raised in the media and a police party was dispatched to search for him at his native place in Orissa. Banerjee, however, surfaced on July 14 and declared that he had gone to Dabhoi, about 130km away. He returned after hearing about the hell being let loose. Since he had turned as ’main eye witness in suspected sorcery and murder case’ instead of a witness who sighted corpses of drowning victims, he was made to undergo lie detection test, which ruled out any foul play.</div>
<div></div>
<div>It is of note that Asaram Ashram is situated just four kilometres upstream of Sabarmati river from another famous Ashram. Although this one, established by MK Gandhi in pre-independence days, enjoys huge budget from the government exchequer, it attracts a tiny fraction of the number of visitors thronging to Asaram Ashram. The Congress, which has been treating Gandhi Ashram and such other public-funded institutions as its own private estate, has never been comfortable with this. The call for the ’bandh’ on Guru Purnima Day emanated essentially from satellite outfits aligned to the Congress, which surface only during riots and strikes.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Gujarat merchant chamber president Prakashbhai Kapadia, owing allegiance to the Union textiles minister, said that the closure would be observed “without any compulsion and its effect will be felt all over Gujarat!” This claim can have no takers as Ahmedabad bandh was supported by Gujarat auto-rickshaw drivers’ action committee – a move obviously intended to harass and provoke the milling crowds visiting the city and incite violence. One more point is, both Narendra Modi and LK Advani of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are admirers, if not devotees, of Asaram. The de facto Congress boss in the state is their arch rival Shankarsinh Vaghela, a former Gujarat chief minister. He ditched BJP after being a Rashtriya Swayam Sevak (RSS) cadre for 30 years, when he grew too greedy and power-hungry, and later defected to Congress. Shankarsinh is known as ‘Bapu’ in his community. He is still reportedly maintaining relations with hawkish elements in Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), known for performing cheap religious stunts.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Interestingly, a grand rehearsal of the ’Guru Purnima’ shutdown was organised on July 16. The rally started in Nirnay Nagar and culminated at the Gandhi Ashram. Participants, mostly belonging to the Kshatriya community and Vaghela clan, raised provocative slogans and carried placards demanding the CM’s resignation! One Ajit Gohil, vice-president of the community body was reported as declaring, “we have no faith in the government investigation agency. Our demand is that the case should be investigated by the CBI, as Asaram Bapu can easily manipulate the state police.” It was clearly a turf war and an anti-Modi show.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Except taking out a silent rally on July 13 to mourn the 10th day of the tragedy and allegations heaped on their Guru, followers of the godman had refused to be provoked. On July 18, Asaram addressed the huge gathering at the Ashram, which had braved violent mobs unleashed by Vaghela’s men. He refused to be a hypocrite like the patriarch of the other ashram and told his audience that even Guru Gobind Singh and Prophet Mohammed had urged their following not to take blasphemous insults lying down.</div>
<div></div>
<div>For the record, there are about 225 ashrams and more than 1500 Yoga Vedanta Seva Samitis across the world run by Asaram followers. They aim to uplift the society morally and spiritually so that all experience the blessings of God by the means of Karma (action), Gyan (knowledge) and Bhakti (devotion) Yoga. Asaram has a hypnotic personality and his down-to-earth sermons appeal to millions of devotees, transcending social barriers. He has never either condemned or advocated matters of personal choice in worship – burning agarbattis (incense sticks) or lighting candles or diyas, performing pujas or yagnas, chanting paslms, mantras etc. These may be considered as just matters of faith, or fads, or superstitions or even as black magic by different sections. The fact is an overwhelming majority of people – Hindus, Muslims, Christians and others – do honestly believe in these things to some extent.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Guru Purnima is the day when obeisance is paid to the guru-shishya parampara (mentor-protégé lineage). Its importance in Vedanta, the ancient science of self-management with the help of a mentor, is very high. Though the ’modern’ way of thinking may have devalued the teacher’s role, there are vast sections not yet swayed into this school. It is celebrated with fervour by numerous other students.            	 		 							 Tragically, that spirit was sabotaged this Guru Purnima Day by hooligans, terrorising people with ’bandh’ call.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The Vaghelas may be privy to any information about the death of the children that they have not shared with the authorities yet. But, unless they come clean, it does look like a case of accidental drowning – transformed into a very dangerous political game at enormous cost to the public. It may be noted that recently a dentist father of a victim of murder in Noida had to spend over a month in jail as a suspect. Only because his claim of having slept through the gory murder in an adjacent room was rather abnormal. The Vaghela parents may have to explain a lot more than the dentist parents.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Targets of Conspiracy: </span><strong><br />
</strong></h1>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><strong>-&gt; </strong><strong>Jagadguru Shankracharya Jayendra Saraswati</strong><strong> -&gt; </strong><strong>Swami Ramdevji Maharaj</strong><strong> -&gt; </strong><strong>Saints belonging to Revered Swami Narayan Organizations</strong><strong> -&gt; </strong><strong>Sri Satya Sai Baba </strong><strong>-&gt; </strong><strong>Maa Amritanadamayee (Amma)</strong><strong> -&gt; </strong><strong>Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj and now </strong><strong>-&gt; </strong><strong><span style="background-color:#000000;color:#ffffff;">Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu&#8230;. </span></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Who will be next</strong><strong>-&gt; </strong><strong>? </strong><strong>-&gt; </strong><strong> ? </strong><strong>-&gt; </strong></li>
</ul>
<h4><span style="font-size:x-small;">Just give some thought …</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Why are saints who protect Hindu culture being demeaned?…?…?</li>
<li>Don’t you think this is a conspiracy to make Hindus fight amongst themselves?</li>
<li>Awake, Hindus! Just reflect about who the conspirators could be….</li>
<li>Who is managing the show behind the curtains by controlling the media, thereby promoting infighting amongst the Hindus and destroying Hindu culture?</li>
<li>Is this is a conspiracy by anti-religious forces that convert Hindus by force?</li>
<li>Before the verdict of the court has been announced, who is creating such havoc about Sant Shri Asaramji Ashram?</li>
<li>Why are attempts being made to blemish the image of respected Sant Asaramji, who has made such efforts to promote Hindu culture within the country and abroad and who is respected and worshipped by crores of disciples?</li>
<li>Why is hatred being spread for Sant Asaramji and his disciples within Hindu society?</li>
<li>The fathers of children who were killed have declared, “We don’t support any kind of bandh, we do not want violence and unrest.”<br />
Then who is promoting the idea of having a bandh regarding this incident? Who is causing violence?</li>
<li>Where was this association called ‘Jagega…’ asleep before the incident? Where did it suddenly appear from after the incident? This too is a question.</li>
<li>Who is making these attempts to repeatedly destroy the calm of peaceful Gujarat?</li>
</ul>
<p>My sensible and intelligent brothers and sisters! Just think about these issues. You will arrive at the conclusion that this is a well-planned conspiracy. The above-mentioned saints, who are being accused, are responsible for opposing the negatives in Western culture, which degrade society. They make people aware of the losses involved in consuming alcohol, having bad habits and following wasteful fashionable ways. They make public the dangers involved in consuming cold drinks and other unhealthy food items. They oppose religious conversion, do social service, lead people onto the path of truth, spread peace and happiness, give people a spiritual bent of mind and make them patriotic.<br />
By accusing these innocent, respect-worthy saints and sages, conspirators are trying to create a distance between them and society. So many of our own people, without knowing the actual truth, end up supporting and helping these anti-religious forces that are enemies of the country.<br />
Those who are promoting bandhs, taking out rallies, tearing posters, those who attacked countless disciples who came on GuruPurnima day to Amdavad with stones and looted them, why aren’t they taking out bandhs for the 60 harmless people (there were 8 innocent children also) who were killed in the bomb-blasts?<br />
If everyone is saddened by the deaths of children studying in the Gurukul, then even before the verdict of the court is out, why are false, baseless accusations being put on Sant Asaramji Maharaj? We all have to understand that behind this act of killing the children, is a well-planned conspiracy to destroy national peace and to promote infighting within society.<br />
May we all oppose the conspirators and support and respect these innocent saints through these difficult times.<br />
Whatever is being shown and spread by the media is not the truth. We people have known the truth, understood the truth and examined it with firmness and thoroughness. All the accusations against Sant Asaramji Maharaj are absolutely baseless. They are only rumours. This is a big political conspiracy intended to destroy the peace within Hindus. Please inform the conspirators that we Hindus are all one. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Hindus will not fight amongst themselves. </span></p>
