ANTI-HINDU LEADER URGES STATE GOVT TO TAKE OVER SHANKARACHARYA MATH

TN Govt should take steps to save Kanchi mutt: DMK chief

Press Trust of India

Chennai, November 13

 

Continuing his tirade against Kachi Seer Jayendra Saraswathi, DMK

President M Karunanidhi said on Saturday Tamil Nadu government should

take steps to prevent a "great institution" like the Kanchi Mutt from

"perishing due to the acts of a few."

 

Writing in his party's mouthpiece Murasoli, he said government should

take action to save the great institution founded by Adi Sankara so

that it functions to benefit the poor in future.

 

Likening the Mutt to a ship, he said, "If the captain of the ship is

not perfect, the ship should not be allowed to sink. We have to

search

for a new captain and repair the ship according to modern needs."

 

Claiming that he had great respect for the heads of the Kanchi Mutt

till the late Sri Chandarasekerendra Swami, he said they never

behaved

in a way that would have degraded it.

 

"But now, we do not find the qualities of spirituality or tranquility

found in Late Chandarasekerendra Saraswathi in Jayendra Saraswathi,

the present head of the Mutt. A saint is one, who has conquered such

emotions as anger. Jayendra in a fit of anger, disappeared from the

Mutt in 1987. The then president R Venkataraman had to interfere in

the matter," Karunanidhi said.

 

"Due to his acts, the Sankara mutt, which had an unblemished record

in

the past, has been degraded. The government should take action to

save

the great institution founded by Adi Sankara," Karunanidhi said.

It is like asking convicted, unreformed criminals to administer the

system of jurisprudence in the country replacing all 'learned'

functionaries of law. A fast-food recipe for destroying the age-old

democratic traditions of the nation exemplified by Uttaramerur

inscription of the 9th century.

 

This is not to be categorised as a 'state subject' or a 'central

subject'. This is a subject which attacks the very core of hindu

tradition and hence, a national subject.

 

I am not on the subjet of Law Commissions and reforms of the criminal

justice system. http://www.lawcommissionofindia.nic.in/main.htm

 

I question the competence of the criminalised political system to

regulate or control hindu institutions.

 

Hindu don't need a hindu-hater like Karunanidhi to suggest how hindu

should run their institutions or how a mathadhipati is selected.

 

I am referring the destruction of hindu institutions by interference

from the British colonial regime exemplified by Macaulay's zero

knowledge of and contempt for Bharatiya ni_ti, ethos and traditions.

The damage caused by Macaulay continues to be perpetrated by the

present-day criminalised political system of governance. All that we

have are only trappings of bureaucracies of several hues and shades,

starting with judicial bureaucracies, criminal gang-ups,

political-looters.

 

What is being proposed is one more way to loot the nation is to take

over hindu institutions such as the devasthanam or mutt.

 

All this under the rubric of criminal justice system of Bharata; a

system which is being run by a criminalised polity.
