Swami Laxamanand Saraswati, is no more in this world today. The society has suffered a great loss on the sudden demise of a Protector, Promoter and Reformer in general, and Hindu culture in particular. His journey to the heavenly abode is more heart breaking for the reason that; he succumbed neither to the old age nor illness. When, the entire Hindu community of the world was mourning over the unfortunate event of his assassination, the aftermath of the incident gave them more Shock, Shame and Grief.
While, killing is not sanctioned by any religion of the world, an act of this nature caused to any-one associated in Missionary, Social promotion and Human-welfare activities; is highly condemned and strictly un-acceptable by their core culture. So, the violent agitation relating to his death is not a sign of a healthy society.
The assassins may be arrested and awarded severe punishment of Life imprisonment or Death penalty. However, Would the anger, as expressed by the victims and their supporters through; Agitation, Violent-aggression, Demonstration and Destruction of the public and private property; be able to
1) nab the miscreants?
2) bring social orders?
3) change the in-human mindset of people?
No. But unfortunately, this is the recurrence of the previous incident; that was targeted towards the Christian community by killing their Priest, Mr. Graham Stone and his two innocent kids; close on the heel.
Yes, ‘Tit for Tat’. We must retaliate violently.
1- But on whom?
2- Where do we direct our vengeance to?
i - the persons, who initiated and caused this inhuman act?
ii - the persons, who committed this?
iii - the innocent people?
iv - the general public?
v - the private property?
vi - the public property?
Should we kill the boy or the girl working in your home, just because he or she belongs to some other religion? If a single answer to all these questions is ‘YES’, then this disastrous incident will be repeating itself on and off in rising frequency and multiplying magnitude.
So from today, very determinedly we ought to have strong and unshakable faith on God, who only can save us from an imminent disaster fabricated by none other than us!
Children, those who are ignorant of their own religion, got an opportunity to engage themselves and enjoy this horrendous activities. They fought with their neighbors and hurt one another. Some rowdy men, who had never heard of Swamiji or known him before; suddenly became his Supporters; not Followers. Out of madness, they ravaged the Schools, Colleges, Medical dispensaries, Religious places and Govt. buildings and injured innocent masses; until some of them succumb to it.
May be, it was not their fault! They might not be aware of the social benefits of such Institutions and the irreparable loss suffered by the families. For one of many reasons, they must not have stepped on the threshold of such places, and valued the worth of man. Oh Lord, help them realize the importance of it; when they father their children!
Oh men! How do you forget everything in a day? A one-time shopping of monthly house-hold goods, is not your pattern of life. Instead, a difficult purchase in scanty quantities of most essentials; set your stove afire each day. Having been involved in this kind of the ruthless acts along with insensible masses, you got intoxicated, laboured hard and physically abused; until you find yourself in the security custody or at home in empty stomach; by the end of the day. In the process, you kept many families hungry and grief-stricken; including yours own.
Having found no food in the home, you broke your own belongings out of temper. Now, what is left for you to satisfy your hunger is; only the flesh and blood of your near and dear ones. Oh, that has also been savoured! They enraged and incited you to do so. Their rations for future years have been already purchased in advance. You were only biased.
i - Whom do these damaged properties belong to?
ii - Are you not an important part of the Government?
iii - Shall the departed soul attain peace through these acts of violence?
iv - Shall the essence of the Hindu religion be fulfilled over this?
v - Would it help others to emulate Guruji?
vi - Would those assailants surrender before you and me and confess their crime and justly opt for the noose around their necks? You know, it is a big and loud ‘No’.
You don’t visit Multiplexes, Shopping malls, Star hotels and ATM counters etc, but for whom you toil; they do. You damage your strength and identity, without your knowledge. You rip apart the dresses of one another, bleed each other and spread sufferings around you; when they celebrate while watching you all on the big LCD screen in an air-conditioned environment.
While, professionals meant to take the responsibilities in getting hold of these Miscreants, Criminals and Anti-socials; we must extend our support and help them in doing so. We should equally develop tolerance towards others and safe-guard the nobility of our own Culture, Tradition, Identity and Wealth.
