Attack of Faith, no les than Terrorism

When the land of sages and great souls falls into the clutches of politics, such elements do not hesitate in offending even the faith of the people. Recently we have seen this happen with Sant Sri Asarmaji Bapu. It appeared as if cheap politics tried to stand in parallel to his years of sādhanā. One, whose name is prefixed with the word ‘Sant’ and suffixed with ‘Bapu’, was called many names by the conspirators and the media, without any kind of evidence based on investigation. According to a senior journalist and media advisor of the Ashram, Neeraj Baushan – “Recently some newspapers and television channels have exaggerated the one sided reports About Param Pujniya Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu and His ashrams. They have tried to make these reports sensational. These were not only false and baseless but also published as well as telecast with malicious intent. These reports deliberately maligned Bapu ji and carried out vicious propaganda against the ashrams. There were also attempts to hurt the faith and sentiments of crores of sādhanās and followers.”

Ashrams of the saints are the abode of love and compassion. Sant Asaramji is not endeared to crores of hearts without any reason. One can become known as a murderer in an instant, but titles like ‘Sant’ and ‘Bapu’ are occasion of Guru Poornima, lakhas of devotees come for the darshana of Sant Asaramji Bapu. Established 36 years ago, this beautiful ashram has made the Ganges of Bhakti (devotion) flow throughout the country, in which croes of devotees have of devotees have taken a dip and got purified. Attack on the faith and cultural or religious heritage of a country is no less harmful than terrorist attack.

All over the world, around 300 ashrms and more than 1200 Yoga Venanta Seva simitis are biging managed under the guidance of Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu. ; these are places where one seeks the purpose of life and tries to trees to tread the path to Truth. The question now arise-the saint who preformed sādhanā throughout His life for human welfare, who created an environment of noble thoughts in every home through his satsanga – what would be the need for Him to kill a child? Where the mere use of the word ‘killing’ is considered a sin, is there any possibility of killing a child? Still, there was an attempt to accuse Sant Asaramji Bapu. It is a known fact that the subsequent Gujarat bandh and all attempts to defame the Ashram were politically motivated.

The way some sections of the media sensationalized the incidents at Amdavad and Chhindawara gurukul is a cause of grve concern। There were false and misleading accusations against Bapuji and the Ashram of using tantra-mantra (black magic). What is astonishing is that all the news reports were biased and unilateral. The parents and relatives of both the decease children of Amdavad gurukul did not want any kind of violence or bandh, still untoward incidents were carried out by the anti-social elements. It is obvious that those who want to defame the Indian culture and saints are behind these heinous acts. They are misleading the society through malicious propaganda against Param Pujya Bapuji and His ashrams. Some sections of the media are also unnecessarily provoking those people who have no connection with the Ashram and inciting them to make unrestrained statements. This is extremely bad and we strongly condemn it.

The fact that faith in Bapuji, of the parents of the two children sho fell prey to the conspiracy in Chhindawara Gurukul is intact, has not been noticed by the misguided media persons who have intentionally turned a blind eye to it. There are also false propaganda made about the ashram lands, whereas the truth is to the contrary. Fabricated and imaginary reports have been shown about the Ridge road Ashram in Delhi (Karol Baug), Rajokari Ashram, land of Surat Ashram and the Chhindawara Furukul trust. The public should not get misguided by such malicious propaganda.
