This is a sinister attempt to frighten and terrorize other Hindu pontiffs into submission. By arresting, ill-treating and humiliating the Acharyas, Jayalalithaa’s government has stirred up the hornet’s nest. A feeling is spreading fast among the Hindus all over the world that a political conspiracy has been hatched to defame and demonize the Hindu faith.Jagatnoreply@blogger.comBlogger2811100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712171.post-1130389932731420682005-10-26T22:12:00.000-07:002005-10-26T22:12:12.770-07:00

The first phase of the Kanchipeeth Shankaracharya episode lasted a couple of months. It began with the arrest of Jayendra Saraswati in Mehbubnagar in Andhra Pradesh and ended with his bail being granted by Supreme Court. This was followed by the junior pontiff Vijyendra Saraswati being bailed out by a local court. In the second phase, it seems, journalists and media houses are being targeted.
