Lynching of those Sadhus in #Palghar made me think that why is this happening?

1. Today, I see most of my generation people either don’t believe in saints / gurus and even some who believes and trust in them - they are too ashamed to openly say this in public.

2. Past generation still believes in the tradition and culture but they try to force this on the young generation which nowadays doesn’t work.

3. There’s a big prejudice against saints, gurus and culture today.

4. What britishers did - they broke our education system - Gurukul System! Which was the most efficient one. Then they and after independence Congress maybe projected that these saints, gurus and culture is outdated, fraud, etc.

5. I do agree some babas are fraud as well. But also some doctors are, also some businessmen are... But I think many of us are so narrow minded and our minds are cultured in the way - that we think 100 times before learning from a saint or a guru or a baba!

6. I am a proud follower of Gurudev @SriSri Ravi Shankar from last 10 years. In last 10 years, I have listened so much nonsense from my friends, relatives, colleagues about him & organization which was completely baseless.

7. But today, I do understand that this is not their ignorance! This is how we have been cultured by media, literature, Bollywood & word of mouth.

8. Most of us feel even ashamed to say that they have a Guru, which in earlier times was a thing of pride!

6/n

9. Till the time we don’t recognise and proudly accept our heritage and our saints and Gurus, we will face this big discrimination every time!

“M loves & obeys Maulvis
C loves & obeys Fathers
H questions & shame Saints”

Isn’t it?

7/n

It’s time we own up our dharm gurus!
It’s time we promote them and their vision and teachings!
It’s time we should be with them and take this sanatana dharma ahead!
