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.

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.

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

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!
