Shocking!

What are they going to do next to sully Hinduism?

- The most respected, venerable 'seer' attached to the most prestigious Hindu math in India is arrested in connection with a murder of an accountant!
- The arrest takes place in the most dramatic of all ways. And on the most auspicious day for all Hindus, Deepawali!
- After four days of arrest, there is still no case presented against him. The only other arrests in this case are the "killers" who allegedly carried out the murder.
- He is "alleged" to have planned an "escape" to Nepal. C'mon. How gullible can one assume us to be? If one had to escape, one would escape to Saudi, Portugal, Pakistan, or Bangladesh, at least. Why would one choose a country where there isn't even a need for a visa? And is there anything extra-ordinary for a Hindu seer to visit the "only Hindu country" in the whole world?
- He is not allowed to perform his Pujas in the jail (as if that is against law!), no special food to him (despite he suffering from Diabetes).
- And all that we (read all Hindus) would do is sit and be indifferent, or in some extreme case, express "shock" on an obscure blog that no one reads.

I wish we (read all Hindus) could do more! If this indifference continues, we might see other Shankaracharyas, Sants, and Pandits being subjected to similar treatment. If we continue this way, I seriously believe, we don't deserve a Shankaracharya!
