Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Dear Sisters & Brothers, I think sankaracharya is guilty and he must be punished. But it will be confirmed in coming days. And if he did not do any wrong it is politically motivated and must be protested. Infront of Indian law everybody is same, either Hindu or Muslim or Christian. Or Hindu guru or Muslim imam or Christian priest. Yes I know its not happening in all cases. but it may be start.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 All I know about the Sankaracharya is that a few years ago when I was in deep despair over something, I happened on his astrological website which promised that you could ask him one question and he would answer. With my heart yearning for solace, I sent in my question, and an underling assured me I'd get an answer. Never to this day have I received one. So I'm not a fan...;-).

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 To my knowledge this shankaracharya having a astrolgy website seems very remote.Think you have mistaken someone else for Kanchi Shankaracharya. Rajan All I know about the Sankaracharya is that a few years ago when I was in deep despair over something, I happened on his astrological website which promised that you could ask him one question and he would answer. With my heart yearning for solace, I sent in my question, and an underling assured me I'd get an answer. Never to this day have I received one. So I'm not a fan...;-).
