ETERNAL INDIA 2

A female preacher seen on a religious channel is always caustic in her comments which are apt and hard hitting. She asked once “What do you do when you are hungry ? Do you eat food yourself or will ask someone to eat to satisfy your hunger ? Why can you not pray yourself ? It is your problem and it is your prayer that God will answer.”

Another preacher, the famous Kripaluji, who has an encylopaedic knowledge of Hindu scriptures uses strong word against Karmakandis and asks “why can you not pray to God with a sense of surrender and faith yourself ? “. He is very convincing.

I read, while surfing some reviews of some books which have appeared in the west questioning God, faith and religion. Excessive material prosperity, lack of spiritual understanding, total lack of first hand experience of the spiritual, leads these blind physical scientists into an abyss of atheism which is irrational and arrogant in its ignorance.

It is true, since the rise of physical sciences in the west, the Church lost battles after battles, failed to inspire people with faith and help them to pray with simple faith. It is not the omnipresent God they believe in or fear but ‘more than 30 million surveillance cameras, the average American is caught on tape more than 200 times a day: on the street, at the ATM, in department stores, even in public restrooms.”

The difference in the case of India is that we have no central church trying to impose rigid uniformity, frighten people with eternal hell, and impose one religious book and one and only one representative of God.

That God is One is well known and well described in Hindu scriptures which also speak of many facets, aspects and forms of HIS. That ONE becomes MANY and those MANY become ONE.Your worship must lead you towards that ONE in the present or future births.

Yes, here comes in the theory of Karma which is well explained through innumerable case studies of reincarnations and ofcourse, astrology.

Let us also recognise the menace of the contractors who claim to possess the power to relieve you or your pain and trouble---for a huge fees. The result is loss of money and no relief. It starts with a fright.

Read the following letters. The mother of this man is a well known political figure of eastern India and has held high positions in her life. I gave her some successful predictions and guided her some years ago. We got out of touch with each till this letter arrived. His father was a very famous and big political figure.

Respected Sir;
My name is A. S. and I had come to meet you earlier also with my mother Dr H.P.S. of Assam.

I seek an appointment with you to consult the horoscope of my second daughter Miss N who is now 10 years old. I have been advised by someone that N has a 'markesh' period presently and have advised 'Maha Mrityunjoy' Japa for 162500 mantra.

Her birth details/computer horoscope is ready and if you advice I can send the same by mail to you as well.

Please advice whether I can personally meet you or send the details on mail.

Mr. A. K.S.

How the tricks work
When he came to meet me he told that the karmakandi demanded Rs.32,000 and that he had already paid Rs.11,000.

It is well known that Hindus love their children too deeply, so deeply that it becomes a dangerous Moha (attachment.) Tell a Hindu father particularly the mother that a child of theirs is passing through a fatal period and that you have an anti-biotic mantra which can save the situation, they will accept your claim and will be prepared to pay you the amount you demand.

Such are the cases of blind and irrational faith and superstition in the middle class families of India. This is being done by Karmakandi Brahmins who will remind you of the corrupt Roman Catholic clergy against whom Martin Luher led a revolt through his Protestant movement.

I am a Brahmin myself and therefore write boldly and ask in my speeches to show me an authority where it is mentioned that a Brahmin can charge a fee.

The Brahmin can accept dakshina and give dakshina , not demand a fee.

The greatest Karmakandi mahatma in Gupt Kashi whom I know rather well, calls these Brahmins, banias or vaishyas because the moment a Brahmin demands a fee he ceases to be a Brahmin. This mahatma is a severe patient of diabetes and four times his sugar level dropped to 30 in 2004-05 but he survived.

Later, on my insistence his disciples brought him to Delhi in 2004, got him admitted in a famous hospital. I went there, talked to the doctor who did not hold out any hope for the mahatma. A complicated operation too was performed on him. He was kept in intensive care unit for some weeks when I went to meet him.

Some of his disciples were sitting there. He called me to his bedside and said “ I am not going away right now as doctors and these disciples fear.” He knows his own future.

In 2007, three years after that, he has been performing more yagyas where he does not allow anyone who is not clean, has not bathed.He must be in proper dress.

On his insistence, I had to accompany him once to Jaipur in March 2003 where among others came a famous woman leader of BJP (though he avoids politicians) and he told her that after becoming the Chief Minister what she should do.

Six months later, there were election in Rajasthan. Pre-poll and exit polls predicted the success of the Congress party. But the BJP won elections and she became the first woman Chief Minister of Rajasthan in December 2003. Nine months before we knew that she was going to be the chief minister of Rajasthan. I am referring to Vasundhara Raje.

I know of another mahatma who prescribes Vishnu Sahastranama, a Krishna mantra and asks you to recite at least one shloka of the Gita everyday. His disciples do not get trapped by dangerous Karmakandi pandits or fraudulent astrologers who claim to find out your Ista Devata.

It is only a mantra drasta (those who can see what mantras will suit you) that can tell you your Ista Devata.

While we have dangerous karmakandi pandits who frighten you to death after learning some astrology perfunctorily, we have real great Mahatma who tell you about the spiritual essence of human life.

That is eternal India I know of, with its twin currents, the filthy, dirty one where you find fraudulent astrologers and pandits claiming to change your fate with their specific antibiotic mantras, after pretending to find  out your Ista Mantra and Ista Devata and the specific mantra and exploiting the worried parents, particularly mothers.

The other current is --- we have great mahatmas who tell you how to face life, with willingness to suffer and how cheerfully you can worship HIM and experience HIS grace.

Pray with a pure heart with faith is what Mahatmas tell and I have seen that alone working and beautifying your life.

In some families that tradition continues which is why the spiritual legacy of India, of Hindus is eternal. And some of these mahatmas ask you not to consult any Tom, Dick or Harry claiming to be an astrologer I have referred to the incident of Sanjay Dutt. Here is the new item. How Sanjay Dutt sought the blessings of Lord Hanuman in jail.

27th Aug 2007 09.00 IST, By Agencies

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt used to spend most of his time inside Pune's Yerwada jail reading 'Hanuman Chalisa'. On a day when he read it 101 times and slept, the next morning he woke up to see a monkey on a nearby tree. The same day he heard the news of his release by the Supreme Court.

When 'Sanju baba', as he is fondly called in the film industry, saw the monkey, he narrated this to his friend and co-convict Yusuf Nullawala. In that instant, both of them agreed that ''something good was going to happen.''

Three days later, Dutt walked out of the jail after the designated TADA court issued the release orders following furnishing of sureties. !!
