Acharya's bail: Sarsanghachalak expresses happiness

K.S. Sudarshan

Poojyapada Shankaracharya Swami Jayendra Saraswati and Swami Vijayendra Saraswati Maharaj, Sashtang Pranam, Poojyawar Bhagwan Shanker, in order to save mankind from destruction, drank the poison, which was one of the outcomes of the churning of the ocean. So also to save the Hindu Dharma, Hindu sanskriti and Hindu samaj from the continuous onslaughts carried on by demonic forces, their Holiness have stood like a rock, taking upon themselves all the fury of the vicious persecution carried on by these forces in an unrelenting political vendetta. In the true tradition of a saint, their Holiness took it to be just a quirk of destiny. The point-by-point rebuttal of various charges unleashed by the media has enabled millions of devotees, followers and well-wishers of the mutt to know the truth and the hideous face of perpetrators of the crime stands thoroughly exposed. We are all indebted to their Holiness for their courage, bravery and equanimity.

In any further trial and tribulation that their Holiness may in future face, I have no doubt that the entire Hindu samaj will stand by the Acharyas.

There is a saying in Hindi that there may be delay in Almighty’s court but ultimately only truth prevails. Their Holiness have emerged from this agni pariksha like shining pure gold. Please accept our respectful pranams.

The judiciary has earned our highest respect when in its judgement on the bail application of the seer of the Kanchi Kamakoti mutt, it gave a fitting rebuff to the narrow-minded politicians who were trying to distort the case for their own political convenience. And thus we found that confirmed criminals like Pappu Yadav could get bail at will, while the same was denied to the Kanchi seer. Please accept our deep appreciation.
