Could this explain why the DK-DMK-AIADMK-PSEC-Missionary axis are

ranged against the Kanchi Acharya? Take over the matham? No, destroy

the matham by a free-wheeling set of investigative sleuths releasing

bits and pieces of anecdotes to a willing media, ready to lap up any

theory, any hoax.

 

Take over the matham and its assets? Why only the matham, why not all

religious institutions of all denominations, ain't that being

secular?

Ain't that equality before law? Or, is that islamism and christism

are

a little more equal?

 

Surjeet will go smiling to the bank, he wants all religious

institutions' wealth to be taxed. Go for it Surjeet. Antonia Maino

will carry out your instructions. There are jaalras ready to beat the

cymbals.

`Kanchi Acharya first pontiff to mingle with Dalits'

 

By Our Special Correspondent

 

CUDDALORE, NOV. 27. The Kanchi Sankaracharya, Sri Jayendra

Saraswathi,

is the first pontiff in the Sankara Mutt lineage to mingle with the

Dalits and other downtrodden sections. Hence, his arrest is

regrettable, Vai. Balasundaram, State president of the Ambedkar

Makkal

Iyakkam, said here today.

 

He told presspersons that he did not want to go into the details of

the arrest as it was sub-judice.

 

>From his association with the Acharya for the past several years, he

had learnt about the humane side of Jayendra Saraswathi, who had

contributed a great deal to the uplift of the downtrodden.

 

Without any inhibitions the Acharya had stayed in a hut of a Dalit,

Chelladurai, at Ramancheri, near Thiruttani, recently and offered his

blessings.

 

The Acharya had also established the Ambedkar Maha Sabha for the

welfare of the Dalits. He was a firm believer in the adage that "all

religions were acceptable" and hence, he had cordial relations with

the religious leaders of all communities.

 

 

Solution to Ayodhya

 

 

Our Special Correspondent from Chennai reports:

 

Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, if granted bail, would strive for an

out-of-court settlement to the Ayodhya issue with the consent of the

two communities, the Tamil Nadu Muslim Personal Law Board's chairman,

Mohd. Amaan Khan, said here today.

 

In a statement, he said it was the Sankaracharya, who, for the first

time, initiated a great effort to find a solution in 2002. "The

Indian

Muslims can neither deny his efforts nor forget them."

 

Muslims did not have any difference of opinion over Sankaracharya's

efforts to find an amicable solution and promote cordiality between

the two communities, Mr. Khan said.
