[PADA: Here we go. Two sadhus and their driver were apparently murdered over "false social media reports that they were child kidnappers, who were selling the children's body parts and organs." This is the result of hearing from false sources, and its also why ISKCON fell apart. People listened to the wrong sources.
The good news is, more and more people are putting the actual ISKCON history together and their scam is being uncovered more each day.
Anyway! The government of India had better take all these culprits into custody in this situation and make a strong message, do not hear from the social media rumor mill. It is amazing that in this day and age people could take such drastic measures such as a public execution, based on some rumor mis-info they heard on the social media mill.
Meanwhile a devotee mother told me her son is convinced that the USA government is now saving 80,000 kidnapped kids and is arresting thousands of pedophile kidnappers in the USA. When she asked the son, "where are the lists of saved kids, photos of the bus loads of kids, big court cases of the thousands of pedophiles," ummm, ok not so much actual info out there. Could this be another social media rumor mill item?
And in this case, if there are actual child kidnappers in India selling kids organs, they need to do a lot better job to investigate that as well. ys pd]

Palghar lynching: India police arrest more than 100 suspects
More than 100 people have been arrested for allegedly beating three men to death in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Reports say the men, who were reportedly mistaken for thieves, were going to a funeral when the mob dragged them out of their car. Among the dead are two Hindu godmen and their driver.
The mob reportedly suspected that the men were child abductors.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said the incident showed that the government was not in control of the law and order situation in the state.
AR Dasa: As a former pilgrim in India, unfortunately, I have to say that when I stayed in Kalkaji in East of Kailash for two months, I discovered that many people, even most of them, do not like Sadhus. They were considered hypocrites who just used their long hair and orange garb as a cover to beg and rip off tourists.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, the staff at the hotel told me NOT to carry my bead bag on the streets because I might be attacked. For sure, they had zero respect for Hare Krishna's and despised Americans who came there to practice in the Temple. They said that religion is not true to Hinduism and just makes money for themselves.
The "prasadam" distributed every day consisted of one little bowl of very thin lentil soup, it was a very cheap and almost useless product. And the price of "real food" in the Temple Restaurant, Govinda's, was out of reach for almost all the people who lived in East of Kailash. It was only for rich tourists.
Sadhus are not always respected for a reason.
[PADA: Wowsers. This is not good. Yes, many folks in India know that the so-called Krishna religion of ISKCON is a scam. I have friends in India who think the ISKCON temples are simply a business. Of course, the fact that many sadhus are fake is not a license to beat and kill anyone. In USA there is a similar rumor that 80,000 kids were kidnapped by thousands of pedophiles, but we see little actual news of these thousands of kids being saved and thousands of pedophiles being arrested, its a lot of hysteria apparently, which can be dangerous if taken against a person not actually involved. ys pd]
