A YOUNG MAN DIES IN CUSTODY

              GOD’S OWN COUNTRY- KERALA- TO- DEVIL’S PARADISE-HELL

Sri.  Sathna Singh a student of religious studies, as informed, from the state of BIHAR visited Kerala recently to see Amrithanandmayi in her Asram. This young man with his enthusiasm to go near Amrithananthamai was trapped in the crowd by the “religious soldiers” who always form a defensive circle around Mother to protect the GODLY lady from external attack!! These people termed this young man as an intruder or terrorist and handed over him to the police for interrogation followed by treatment in the mental asylum. The end of this young man was disastrous. He died in custody and the body was packed in coffin and sent to his parents in Bihar.

The above is the news we all heard in the media.

Of late we have been seeing people going out of control in Body & Spirit, both in the Religious and Political circles. Overdoing of everything results in a state of lunatic nature in men & women. In this case, if the situation was handled in a religious manner, with patience the matter would have revealed the factual position and Mother would have found a solution to this young man’s queries. But the “well-wishers” of the Mother did not in their over action, give an opportunity to this young man from outside the state of Kerala, to give vent to his feelings with Mother. Instead he was ill-treated and was killed in the process.  How can one justify this kind of religious reaction from the so called “Godly people”?

Nowadays our tendency is to protect the GOD more than we protect our own fellow beings! This is strange, as we know that our GOD will protect us from the dangers of this life and from the Devil’s hand. The GOD does not need the protection from His creation.  The instant case is of very serious nature and the Religious leaders of all communities must deeply think about such atrocities being meted out to poor believers who do not know the “inbuilt devilish mantle” in some of the 2^nd in command of such religious denominations.
