Indian leaders back Myanmar monks' movement

New Delhi, October 02, 2007

 

A group of India Parliamentarians including former Prime Minister VP Singh and Nirmala Deshpande, on Saturday expressed their solidarity with the protesting monks in Myanmar and demanded the release of all political prisoners including noble laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi.

The group of 10 MPs, from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and cutting across party lines, released a signed letter on Saturday to register their indignation about the ongoing political developments in neighbouring Myanmar. The letter was released under the aegis of the 'Indian Parliamentarians Forum for Democracy in Burma (IPFDB).' About a dozen protesters including a Japanese photojournalist have been killed by the Junta till now.

The letter said that the IPFDB expresses "solidarity with the monks, nuns and the people of Myanmar. We would like to appeal to all concerned, that the political leaders, including Aung San Suu Kyi, are released and the process for establishing democracy be started soon."

Another a letter of solidarity for the protesters was signed and released by a group of religious heads comprising Sikh, Hindu, Jewish and ISKCON leaders.

"We, the religious personalities of different religions and sects express our strong support and solidarity with the nonviolent, peaceful demonstrations by Buddhist monks and nuns and the people of Myanmar for democracy and freedom," they said. The religious leaders also demanded the release of political prisoners.

The CPM and the CPI have also condemned the killings of unarmed protesters and called upon the UPA government to come out in support of the people of Myanmar.

Well done , Iskcon. What the world needs is Karma Yoga as taught by Krishna to fight against the injustices and evils anywhere in the world , and ISKCON has shown the right path ahead , in the spirit of Lord Krishna .

 

Onward, ISKCON warriors.

 

Death on the battlefied fighting for truth and dharma or justice in the true spirit of a karma yogi like Mahatma Gandhi or Subhash Chandra Bose or Henry David Thoreau,all devotees of Krishna, is preferable than living a vegetating life.

Well spoken prabhu, since they find Prabhupada's books so terrible that everything has to be changed in order to finally distribute them to the educated nobility and high ranking people, why not some solid karma-yoga in between - to err on the side of caution?
