How come an Ukraiine NGO honored JJ and also Putin? US hypocrisy on Ukraine and Christist conspiracy in Kanchi?
We have witnessed in Kandhamal, how christist terrorists will stoop to any depths to proselytize.
Swamy Laxmananda ji was murdered on Krishna Janmashtami day. Kanchi Acharya was arrested on Diwali day on a false charge.
Were these merely extraordinary coincidences?
Jury is still out on who murdered S'ankararaman. But there are shocking links between US hypocrisy in Ukraine and christist conspiracies.
It is unfortunate that voices of free expression were muffled in an evil state as the great institution set up by Adi Shankara was desecrated by state action.
Psec supporters of SIMI, or Samuel Reddy promoting state-sponsored christist pilgrimages or multi-national church bureaucracies seen to be involved in violence in Kandhamal are straws in the wind, pointing to the same source of evil: any means are justified in the eyes of christist terrorists to achieve conversions. All gloves are off for the christist terrorists who think they are saving the blind heathen who will go to hell if they are not converted.
Thanks, but no thanks. Leave the heathen alone in their blindness. Dharma protects those who protect dharma. Dharmo rakshati rakshitah.

US Hypocrisy on Ukraine
by Rep. Ron Paul
President Bush said last week that, "Any election [in Ukraine], if there is one, ought to be free from any foreign influence." I agree with the president wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, it seems that several U.S. government agencies saw things differently and sent U.S. taxpayer dollars into Ukraine in attempt to influence the outcome.
We do not know exactly how many millions – or tens of millions – of dollars the United States government spent on the presidential election in Ukraine. We do know that much of that money was targeted to assist one particular candidate, and that through a series of cut-out non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – both American and Ukrainian – millions of dollars ended up in support of the presidential candidate, Viktor Yushchenko.
Let me add that I do not think we should be supporting either of the candidates. While I am certainly no supporter of Viktor Yushchenko, I am not a supporter of his opponent, Viktor Yanukovich, either. Simply, it is none of our business who the Ukrainian people select to be their president. And, if they feel the vote was not fair, it is up to them to work it out.
How did this one-sided U.S. funding in Ukraine come about? While I am afraid we may have seen only the tip of the iceberg, one part that we do know thus far is that the U.S. government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), granted millions of dollars to the Poland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative (PAUCI), which is administered by the U.S.-based Freedom House.
PAUCI then sent U.S. government funds to numerous Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This would be bad enough and would in itself constitute meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. But, what is worse is that many of these grantee organizations in Ukraine are blatantly in favor of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
Consider the Ukrainian NGO International Center for Policy Studies. It is an organization funded by the U.S. government through PAUCI. On its Web site, we discover that this NGO was founded by George Soros' Open Society Institute. And further on we can see that Viktor Yushchenko himself sits on the advisory board!
And this NGO is not the only one the U.S. government funds that is openly supportive of Viktor Yushchenko. The Western Ukraine Regional Training Center, as another example, features a prominent USAID logo on one side of its Web site's front page and an orange ribbon of the candidate Yushchenko's party and movement on the other. By their proximity, the message to Ukrainian readers is clear: the U.S. government supports Yushchenko.
The Center for Political and Legal Reforms, another Ukrainian NGO funded by the U.S. government, features a link at the top of its Web site's front page to Viktor Yushchenko's personal Web site. Yushchenko's picture is at the top of this U.S.-government-funded Web site.
This May, the Virginia-based private management consultancy Development Associates, Inc., was awarded $100 million by the U.S. government "for strengthening national legislatures and other deliberative bodies worldwide." According to the organization's Web site, several million dollars from this went to Ukraine in advance of the elections.
As I have said, this may only be the tip of the iceberg. There may be many more such organizations involved in this twisted tale.
It is clear that a significant amount of U.S. taxpayer dollars went to support one candidate in Ukraine. Recall how most of us felt when it became known that the Chinese government was trying to funnel campaign funding to a U.S. presidential campaign. This foreign funding of American elections is rightly illegal. Yet, it appears that that is exactly what we are doing abroad. What we do not know, however, is just how much U.S. government money was spent to influence the outcome of the Ukrainian election.
Dozens of organizations are granted funds under the PAUCI program alone, and this is only one of many programs that funneled dollars into Ukraine. We do not know how many millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) sent to Ukraine through NED's National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute. Nor do we know how many other efforts, overt or covert, have been made to support one candidate over the other in Ukraine.
That is what I find so disturbing: there are so many cut-out organizations and sub-grantees that we have no idea how much U.S. government money was really spent on Ukraine, and most importantly how it was spent. Perhaps the several examples of blatant partisan support that we have been able to uncover are but an anomaly. I believe Congress and the American taxpayers have a right to know. I believe we urgently need an investigation by the Government Accounting Office into how much U.S. government money was spent in Ukraine and exactly how it was spent. I would hope very much for the support of Chairman Hyde, Chairman Lugar, Deputy Assistant Secretary Tefft, and my colleagues on the House International Relations Committee in this request.
President Bush is absolutely correct: elections in Ukraine should be free of foreign influence. It is our job here and now to discover just how far we have violated this very important principle, and to cease any funding of political candidates or campaigns henceforth.

A Kanchi christist conspiracy?
Preamble
It is not easy to track international money transfers and provide evidence to the satisfaction of a court of law. This has been well demonstrated by the protracted Bofors cases despite CBI and Interpol investigations.
Similarly, it is not easy to provide 'hard evidence' in conspiratorial and diabolical events. But, a reasonable framework can be provided to raise a reasonable doubt about the conspirators involved in a criminal undertaking.
S'ankararaman's murder was a criminal act.
The question yet to be answered is: who murdered S'ankararaman? There is a larger question: Was there a conspiracy to destabilize the Hindu nation considering that a great Hindu institution was targeted in the wake of this murder?
Background and sequence of events pointing to a conspiracy
A day prior to the murder of S'ankararaman a midnight order was issued transferring the Superintendent of Police of Vishnukanchi was transferred to Cuddalore. The same person (fondly referred to by Tamil Press as Cyanide Premkumar) was brought back to head the Special Investigation Team to investigate the murder.
Premkumar's association with Christian groups has also been reported in the media.
The link with the Christian groups leads to a remarkable sequence of events preceding S'ankararaman's murder.
The AIADMK website contains photos showing the award of Golden Star of Dignity and Honour Award to Jayalalithaa, then CM of Tamilnadu. The Award was given by an organization called International Human Rights Defense Committee (IHRDC), Ukraine. She is the second recipient of the Award; the first was Putin, President of Russia.
The IHRDC has a Vice President who was also present during the Award ceremony. Her name is Natalya Krivutsa. Surprise ! She is an American, who lives in America.
Another surprise ! On the dias during the award ceremony organized by the Tamilnadu Government was seated a person called Mallavarapu Prakash who announced himself as India Representative of IHRDC.
Another surprise! This Mallavarapu Prakash also happens to be Bishop of Vijayawada.
Yet another surprise! Mallavarapu Prakash who is an Andhra and who is based in Vijayawada was made the Chairman of the Tamilnadu Minorities Welfare Commission by CM of Tamilnadu. How come an Andhra and a Christian was named? Why wasn't a Christian or a Muslim resident of Tamilnadu named to this Commission? Was it a reward for the Award recommended by the India Rep. of IHRDC? The Award is so important that a Tamil translation of it calling it Thanga Taarakai Award is splashed in colourful posters all over Tamilnadu hailing the Chief. Amma she is called with reverence on these posters.
The Award was preceded by another surprise ! A two-page colour supplement appeared as an Advertisement in US Wall Street Journal. Such an Advertisement costs millions of dollars apparently paid for by the Tamilnadu Government. The Advertisement was full of praise and adoration of the CM of Tamilnadu. A special report was written about the contributions made by Jayalalithaa. The writer of this report is an evangelist, a reporter named Carlos Andrade who works for Times of India. Why this prelude of world-wide coverage of the glory of Tamilnadu and of TN's CM? Was it to justify to the world that the 'international award' was warranted?
Months after the murder of S'ankararaman, CM sends a team to Hyderabad where S'ankaracharya's had camped.
It was Deepavali night.
It is well known that Christists abhor this grand festival of lights whenever they attempt to proselytize and harvest souls.
On this well-chosen day, the Acharya, Jayendra Saraswati was arrested.
Surprise! He was brought in a police van by road, from Hyderabad to Kanchipuram. Two journalists appear on the scene and accompany the Acharya, in an unprecedented procedure of allowing journalists in a police van. The journalists were: N. Ram, Chief Editor of The Hindu and Jennifer Arul, Director, NDTV. After all, the event was so important that the work could not be assigned to mere staff reporters.
N. Ram's The Hindu is a communist politburo tabloid. Jennifer Arul has contributed to a website called gegrapha.org where she has vowed to destroy Hindu dharma and plant the cross of Christ. Sordid details get announced on a CD pirated to Sun TV and other TV channels reporting concocted and sordid tales about the S'ankaramatham and sexploits there. One rumor was that sorbitol was administered during the journey. Another was that the Acharya was told by the cops to the effect that: To preempt the case being taken up by CBI, the state police had to act to fetch you to Kanchipuram, to keep the case within state control. In other words, the Acharya was duped into accompanying the police team with a false alibi.
Surprise! The CM of AP was also involved because he had to permit the TM police action in Hyderabad. It is unlikely that CM of AP (fondly called Samuel Rajasekhara Reddy) would have acted without informing the Catholic Chairperson of UPA and the then Chair of National Advisory Council (in otherwords, the supreme leader of the Central government).
The most stunning revelation was made in US Congress by a Texas Congressman called Ron Paul. The info. is detailed in his website and congressional record. He made a startling allegation that President Bush administration was transferring through USAID upto a billion US dollars under the US-Poland-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative and most of the money was going to NGOs to manipulate for example, elections in Ukraine. We have noted that IHRDC was an NGO based in Ukraine.
An interlude to the actions preceding S'ankararaman's murder is the enactment of Anti-Conversion Law and later repeal (after the rout of AIADMK in the Parliamentary elections). The withdrawal of the anti-conversion law is lauded by US government in its annual report by the US Commission for International Religious Freedom, USCIRF. In addition to lauding the withdrawal of the law, the Consulate of Chennai is directed to keep a tab on Tamilnadu Government on the implementation of the withdrawal.
Isn't the money trail apparent? Isn't the involvement of christist groups apparent?
When tsunami struck Tamilnadu coast, who gets photographed with CM of Tamilnadu for undertaking relief efforts? Mallavarapu Prakash, Bishop of Vijayawada. There are also reports of TN government entrusting relief efforts to christist agencies.
How come the new TN Government imposes a ban on Da Vinci Code with alacrity? (An action declared illegal by the High Court). Where did the money trail lead?
Surprise! The accused was identified well before the murder happened, because dossiers were constructed to prepare the ground for alleging animosity between the murdered and the accused. This was affirmed by a lawyer in Kanchi defending the acharya's.
Why did the CM of TN take undue interest in the prosecution of the case as was argued by Nariman in the Supreme Court?
Events following the murder have tell-tale signs. Benny Hinn comes to Bangalore adored by 6 CMs and Benny Hinn hails Sonia Gandhi in a public evangelizing platform. Nuns arrive in Tirupati. AP is littered with churches all along the Coromandel coast. Ron Watts claims to have converted 8 lakh Hindu's as Seventh Day Adventists, just living in Hosur on an illegal business visa after getting photographed with Sonia Gandhi and publishing the photo on cover page of his magazine. He is introduced to Advani by another Seventh Day Adventist who happened to be an MP from Mizoram. There is another Mizoram resident who got elected as BJP MP from Bangalore, after retiring from Karnataka police force. The conversion spree has reached a crescendo with the christists having a firm grip over the state apparatus.
In Tamilnadu, the police force became a pocketburo, a private army acting at the dictates of the supreme and a reign of terror was let loose and nobody could talk even in a bus stop about the murder. Anyone who talked was booked by the cops under CrPC and the draconian criminal justice system of the land.
Nobody is safe. Not even an accountant of a Kanchi temple who had earlier worked in the Kanchi S'ankaramatham. His association with the Hindu institutions was his undoing. He became a victim of a christist conspiracy to demonstrate the impotence of the Hindu samajam, by booking a mathadhipati of a matham which is said to have been established by Adi S'ankara 2500 years ago and by choosing the sacred Deepavali day to make it happen. The humiliation of Hindu samajam is complete. S'ankararaman had to pay a price with his life to accomplish this humiliation.
Background notes:
Jayalalithaa is a product of the well known Sacred Heart Matriculation school, Chennai, conducted by the famous Presentation Sisters of Church Park. Bro. Berchmans asks the question: Had Jayalalithaa become a nun, would that have brought any positive change
in her life? Good question, ain't it? Try searching for an answer in the following link:

Let us see how in my opinion the christists manipulated Jayalalithaa and she succumbed to their guile.
The early and open wooing of Jayalalitha started with naming a street in USA after her.
Monument for J. proposed in Wisconsin.
Chicago Street Named after Jayalalitha
by Nand Kapoor, Chicaho Bureau Chief
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chicago, April 29 - On April 27 '96,
The Dr. J. Jayalalitha Way on Devon Avenue from Broadway to Lakewood Avenue was unveiled & dedicated with an Inter-Faith Prayer and an impressive community rally. Dr. J.Jayalalitha Way is located at a major intersection in the Northside of the City of Chicago where major roads, Broadway Avenue, Devon Avenue and North Sheridan meet. The Dr. J. Jayalalitha Way is the first portion of the long winding West Devon Avenue which bears Honorary street designations for Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Golda Mier (Ex Israeli Prime Minister), at different segments of the Avenue.

THE THANGA THARAGAI - GOLDEN STAR AWARD
One is now familiar of her being given the "most prestigious" award - the Thanga Tharagai or the Golden Star Award. Millions of posters were pasted all over Tamil Nadu hailing her as "Golden Star" Amma or "Thanga Tharagai" Idaya Deivam etc.,
What is the origin of this Thanga Tharagai award and who are the persons behind it? And why should they suddenly cosy up to Jayalalithaa? Just keep in mind that this was the time the TN Forcible Conversion Act was in place and there was no talk of repealment by the government.
To get a logical answer to this, one must honestly look into the Presidential elections in Ukraine. What has the election of President of Ukraine to do with the Golden Star Award to Jayalalithaa?
The Bush Administration in USA wants a pliable president in the Ukraine. They consider it important to their affairs and what do they do? They locate a pliable candidate, Viktor Yushchinko. And decide to prop him up. So how do they go about funding his elections to the Presidency of Ukraine? Simple, they choose Poland as the medium. Why Poland? The former Pope is from Poland, stupid. This "initiative" is called as the Poland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative (PAUCI), which is administered by the US based Freedom House and funded by US Agency for International Development (USAID). Millions of dollars was granted by USAID to PAUCI in Poland. And PAUCI sent these funds to numerous Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Ukraine and needless to say that these NGOs acted on the behest of US government to get their candidate elected as the President.
Take a look at this:
On 7 December 2004, U.S. Congressman Ron E. Paul made this statement before the House of Representatives International Relations Committee.How did this one-sided US funding in Ukraine come about? While I am afraid we may have seen only the tip of the iceberg, one part that we do know thus far is that the US government, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), granted millions of dollars to the Poland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative (PAUCI), which is administered by the US-based Freedom House.
PAUCI then sent US Government funds to numerous Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This would be bad enough and would in itself constitute meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. But, what is worse is that many of these grantee organizations in Ukraine are blatantly in favor of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
Consider the Ukrainian NGO International Centre for Policy Studies. It is an organization funded by the US Government through PAUCI, but on its website you will find that the front page in the English section features a prominent orange ribbon, the symbol of Yushchenko's party and movement. Reading further on, we discover that this NGO was founded by George Soros's Open Society Institute. And further on we can see that Viktor Yushchenko himself sits on the advisory board!
And this NGO is not the only one the US government funds that is openly supportive of Viktor Yushchenko. The Western Ukraine Regional Training Center, as another example, features a prominent USAID logo on one side of its website's front page and an orange ribbon of the candidate Yushchenko's party and movement on the other. By their proximity, the message to Ukrainian readers is clear: the US government supports Yushchenko.
The Center for Political and Law Reforms, another Ukrainian NGO funded by the US government, features a link at the top of its website's front page to Viktor Yushchenko's personal website. Yushchenko's picture is at the top of this US government funded website.
That May, the Virginia-based Private Management Consultancy Development Associates, Inc., was awarded $100 million by the US government for strengthening national legislatures and other deliberative bodies worldwide. According to the organization's website, several million dollars from this went to Ukraine in advance of the elections .
As I have said, this may only be the tip of the iceberg. There may be many more such organizations involved in this twisted tale.
There has been a blackout in the American media about his statement. Instead, they have been focussing mostly on an alleged poisoning of the pro-Western candidate. If there is any side that will benefit most from the poisoning, it is the United States. It is probable they
poisoned their own candidate. The Cold War may be officially over. But as long as Russia remains a challenge to American power, the bleeding without fighting will continue.
http://vsubhash.blogspot.com/
What is relevant to us is that
1. USA wanted Viktor Yushchenko elected as President of Ukraine.
2. The US Goverment floated PAUCI
3. Sent millions of dollars to it from USAID
4. PAUCI floated hundreds of NGOs in Ukraine to which these millions were distributed for "election duty".
5. Coordinating the efforts was IHRDC (International Human Rights Defence Committee) is one such NGO based in USA with Natalya Krivutsa a Naturalised citizen of USA, with a Ukraine background.
Now to the vital question:
Who conferred the "Golden Star" or the "Thanga Tharagai" Award on Jayalalitha?
It is IHRDC (International Human Rights Defence Committee) headed by Natalya l Krivutsa.
It is claimed that this was a body under the United Nations (check the banners behind the photographs of the Awards function in Chennai). But the fact is that UN has nothing to do with this Organisation (Just check the UN website to find any relationshiip with this body - zilch) Bishop Mallawarappu Prakash, who is also associated with this NGO, as heading their office in India and with the Awarding of the Golden Star to Jayalalitha defended this saying that the website of the organisation shows that it is a UN organisation (can there be more silly argument than this?).
Now take a look at the Award function photos in the AIADMK website:
On 10 Oct. 2004, Ukraine delegates in city to honour Jaya
Ukraine delegates representing the International Human Rights Defence Committee (IHRDC) which has selected Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for the Golden Star of Honour and Dignity Award, have arrived in Chennai. The IHRDC will present the award to the Chief Minister for her stellar role in gender equality and protection of weaker sections of society.
See photos at
http://www.aiadmkindia.org/111004%20human%20rightsaward.htm
Now on to some simple questions that very badly need to be answered:
1. Who is Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash? Why was this Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash of Vijayawada made head of the minorities welfare board in Tamil Nadu? Why not a muslim from Tamil Nadu?
Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash was on the dais as India representative of IHRDC of Ukraine when the Golden Star (Thanga Tarakai) Award was presented in October 2004 and was made the State's chairman of the Minorities Board, though he belongs to the neighbouring State, the State of Andhra Pradesh.
2. In Feb. 2005 a monument is proposed for Jayalalithaa, together with the Bharat Jyoti Award from India International Friendship Society.
3. The timing of the Thanga Tarakai award is after withdrawing the Anti-conversion Act. Is there a connection between this withdrawal and the award? Some kind of a thanks-giving and an incentive for more action?
4.The award celebration was certainly paralleled by
(a) The tax payers' money spent by Tamil Nadu Government on the 4 page Wall Street Journal advertisement eulogising the achievements of AIADMK government -- the interview was conducted by Ms. Carlose Andrade of Times of India; and
(b) US State Dept. (Office of International Religious Freedom of the US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor) is backing such conversion initiatives. The last paragraph of this year's report of USCIRF states that US embassy officials had been interacting regularly with TN Govt. state officials on the anti-conversion law and its reversal. (May 2004).
5. There is an intricate web of a christist Prabhakar offering Bharat Jyoti Award from India International Friendship Society of USA, Bishop M. Prakash, IHRDC Ukraine, Natalya Krivutsa of USA, K.A. Paul coming in his private jet meeting CM and handing over unlisted materials post-Tsunami. The events take place in a suspicious order or sequence.
7. The take over of the Veera S'aiva (Lingayata) Matham in Kumbakonam on 16 Jan. 2005 and the crippling of the Kanchi Matham from Deepavali Day (November 2004).
All these lead one to wonder "is there any connection between the awards, the christists who were behind the awards and attacks on these Hindu institutions"?
The advertisement in Wall Street Journal hailing Jayalalithaa should have cost a fortune for the TN Govt. See the ad (interview by Carol Andrade) at
http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-1.pdf
http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p2.pdf
http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p3.pdf
http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p4.pdf
This jibes with the move to withdraw the anti-conversion bill through an ordinance after she got a drubbing in the TN Lok Sabha polls.
The interviewer whose interview becomes a TN Govt. ad is Ms. Carol Andrade. She is Times of India Supplements Editor and claims to be a journalist for 27 years.
http://www.thaneweb.com/interviews/97interview_carol_thaneplus.htm
She is also editor (for Economic Times) of Strategic Marketing (together with a guy from IIM, Calcuta).
http://www.etstrategicmarketing.com/smNov-Dec1/lets.htm
Bishop Rt Rev Dr M Prakash noted that the downtrodden were given all privileges in the state and said, ``as many as 10,000 independent churches in the state would spread the peace message of Jayalalithaa to the entire world. And downtrodden are given all the privileges in the state.''
ANOTHER AWARD: By way of adding yet another feather in her cap, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister will be awarded International Best Statesperson Award in February 2005 by International Friendship Society in the USA.
Announcing this, Dr Vijay Prabhakar, president, World Federation of Tamil Youth, USA, said, ``this award will be conferred for being a
true statesperson.''

that this is on a Government site.
VAIKO'S CRITICISM OF THE AWARD
At that point of time, see what Vaiko, her current christist "brother" said:
Referring to the honour of `Golden Star of Honour and Dignity Award' bestowed on the Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, by the Ukraine-based International Human Rights Defence Committee, he said the award meant `nothing' since the organisation was not recognised by the United Nations. The award episode was `funny' given the backdrop of increasing violence and crime against women in Tamil Nadu, he said.
http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2004101813620400.htm&date=2004/10/18/&prd=th&
THE CHRISTIST TEAM THAT WORKED ON JAYALALITHAA
So we have a Natalya Kirutsva, a Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash, Dr K.A.Paul, who came in his Private Jet offering Rs4,000 crores relief to Tsunami and offering to adopt 400 children orphaned by Tsunami, Dr Vijay Prabhakar of World Federation of Tamil Youth USA, a Carlos Andrade, Uncle Sam and his Consul in Chennai plus a few church leaders thrown in for pepper. Great Team.
See photo of Natalya at http://www.committee.org.ua/dok35.html (Text in Russian)
See Bishop Prakash Mallavarapu of Vijayawada on the catholic hierarchy. As director fo the India Chapter of IHRDC based in Ukraine (funded by Uncle Sam), he is clearly the conduit for getting the award for Jayalalithaa.
http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bmalp.html
Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash is also a member of the doctrine commission.
Dr K A Paul, chairman, Global Peace Initiative in Washington and Tamilnadu Minorities Welfare Board's chairman Bishop Dr M Prakash met the Chief Minister and handed over the relief materials for the Tsunami affected with Boxer Hollifield adding the punch to the team.
That Jayalalithaa was flattered from this "award" was evident from the number of posters her party men put up through out the State. In addition, look at what she has to say about the award:
Make Tamil Nadu a premier state: CM
Sunday, October 17, 2004
PTI
CHENNAI: AIADMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Saturday asked her partymen to work for making the state 'number one' in the country.
The Golden Star of Honour and Dignity Award conferred on her recentlyby the Ukraine based International Human Rights Defence Committee was a proof to this, she said.
On receiving the International award instituted by International Human Rights Defence Committee (IHRDC) from Natalya l Krivutsa, Head of IHRDC, USA, for her efforts to eliminate gender inequality and protection of the weaker section of the society, Jayalalithaa said, ``A society that cannot protect the dignity and honour of its women cannot be termed as a civil society.''
Now pause for a moment and think:
1. A rather circuitous route from US Government is established through Poland, Ukraine and a web of NGOs and christist-activists, evangelists and they start wooing CM. It ends with the US government getting the Anti-conversion Act repealed by CM.
2. A street in USA is named after her and she gets an award from a dubious NGO with christists at the helm of affairs.
3. She makes a bishop from neighbouring state as the Chairman of the Minority Welfare Board in Tamil Nadu and he happens to be the India representative of the dubious NGO that gives her the "Golden Star" Award.
4. The US Consul in Chennai has specially posted officials dealing with her administration to repeal the Anti-conversion Act
5. Her Deva Prasnam Expert and astrologer says no harm will befall if the Kanchi Acharya is arrested.
And on the Diwali night, which is so holy to all Hindus, she decides to ruin the festival of lights for millions of Hindus, by ordering arrest of one of the most sacred Institutions of the Hindus, The Kanchi Acharya Himself.
It is said that there was a stage in her life when she would not even sneeze without consulting Unnikrishna Panicker. Her close aide, Sasikala reportedly visited Panicker one week before the actual arrest of Kanchi Acharya to make a "divine inquiry" if His arrest would bring her government down and if there would be any repurcussions from the Hindu Samaj. Panicker gave the green signal and the the brutal assault was executed on one of our most revered institutions, the Kanchi Acharyas and the Kanchi Mutt.

Defining national identity by paying tribute to the yoddha (veterans) of Hindusthan
Defining national identity by paying tribute to the yoddha (veterans) of Hindusthan.
Please see the film of Steven Spielberg.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLq8hmmxcOA
Steven Speilberg's film, 'Timeless Call' which defines American identity. This is a rivetting tribute to the veterans of US Army whose patriotism is the defining image of Americans' commitment to what they hold dear -- their nation.
Hindusthan has to reach such a stage when such a video should reverberate in every school, in every farm, every legislature, every bureaucratic institution of Hindusthan. A nation finds her identity and pays a tribute to Bharata Maata by remembering the heroes who have kept their lives on the line in defence of Hindusthana. Every child should remember these pitru-s, these ancestors who have defined sanatana dharma, that is Hindu rashtram.
We have 10 Jannpath chamchas amidst us who seem to be more ashamed than proud of the difficult battles and wars won with their lives by the soldiers of Hindusthana. These soldiers are the jyoti punj of Hindu dharma.
The temporary mad grip of third rate politicians permeating every public activity should end.
The nation of Hindusthan is greater than everyone of us. She is a reality, she is our mother who has nurtured us and has given us the opportunity to serve her. There cannot be a greater privilege than this.
To start with, let us remember our pitru-s by offering them tarpanam by setting up a War Memorial so that present and future generations will never ever forget that their sacrificees to achieve true swarajyam for Bharatam have not gone in vain.
The isssue is not about chamcha-s.
Ths issue is about every citizen of Bharata des'am who has a promise to fulfil and hand over the deepam of our civilizational heritage to the future generations.
Ths issue is about the future of the youngest nation on the face of the globe.
Ths issue is about every child saying in unison, Hindusthanam shall prevail. I am proud to be part of this journey in dharma. There can be no greater privilege in life.
namaskaram.

I watched almost the entire proceedings of the Democratic National Convention, Denver for 3 nights and many hours of talk shows on MSNBC and CNNpolitics.com .
As I recollect the memories of the events which unfolded in this Convention, I recall one event as the highlight of the entire Convention. To me, this is the defining moment, the very definition of American identity.
This was a 7 minute short film made by Steven Spielberg. The film was titled , 'A Timeless Call' and was a tribute to the veterans of US armed forces.
The message was gripping; the narrative and visuals were stunning.
I have to submit with sadness that in our civilizational history, we have not paid such a tribute to the yoddha (soldiers) of Hindusthan who have been fighting the longest, relentless war on terror for over 60 years now.
Will this event of Steven Spielberg's short film trigger two initiatives in Hindusthan? 1. A war memorial on the lines of the Arlington Cemetery in honour of the brave men and women bearing arms to protect Hindusthan. 2. A short film as a tribute to these brave men and women to protect dharma and the land of Hindusthan which is the only hope for heralding a world in dharma.

Excerpts from the speech of Chet Edwards, Member of the US House of Representatives, Texas, delivered in the Democratic National Convention, Denver, on 27 August 2008:
Last month my wife and I took our 11- and 12-year-old sons to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to visit wounded soldiers. We met a young soldier in a wheelchair. He had lost both of his legs in combat in Iraq, and this courageous father was holding his infant child lovingly in his lap.
As we talked, I held tightly to my sons' hands, overwhelmed by a father who will sacrifice every day for the rest of his life because he served his country. We can never give that soldier his legs back, but he should never have to give up on the dreams he has for his child.
As we watch this Steven Spielberg film, let us remember that in the 21st century, we are the land of the free, because we are still the home of the brave.

Antony seeks PM's intervention for War Memorial
[]
Friday, June 13 2008 15:27 (IST)

New Delhi, Jun 13 (UNI) Defence Minister A K Antony has sought the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for an early construction of a National War Memorial in the national capital as a mark of rememberance for the over 50,000 soldiers who died in various incidents since Independence.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, the Defence Minister has said his intervention could pave the way for the construction of the Memorial near India Gate. He also blamed the Union Urban Development Ministry with dragging its feet on the issue.
The issue is wrapped in ''bureaucratic red tape'' for the past 40 years. The Urban Development Ministry has claimed that the proposed War Memorial will not be suitable near India Gate.
Noted designer Charles Correa had designed the memorial.
Meanwhile, the Defence Minister has also asked the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to prepare a Cabinet Note on the War Memorial and its progress in the last 40 years.
When approved, it would be India's first National War Memorial, commemorating soldiers who died in all the wars since World War II.
The India Gate is a War Memorial in New Delhi commemorating the Indian dead of World War I. The India Gate today also houses the tomb of the Unknown Soldier -- the Amar Jawan Jyoti.
A few days ago, the three Service Chiefs had called on Dr Singh and raised the almost five-decade delay in building the proposed Memorial. The Cabinet Note is said to be a follow up of the meeting.
Over 50,000 soldiers have died in wars with Pakistan, China and the counter-insurgency operations in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and the North East.

Steven Speilberg's film, 'Timeless Call' which defines American identity. This is a rivetting tribute to the veterans of US Army whose patriotism is the defining image of Americans' commitment to what they hold dear -- their nation.
Hindusthan has to reach such a stage when such a video should reverberate in every school, in every farm, every legislature, every bureaucratic institution of Hindusthan. A nation finds her identity and pays a tribute to Bharata Maata by remembering the heroes who have kept their lives on the line in defence of Hindusthana. Every child should remember these pitru-s, these ancestors who have defined sanatana dharma, that is Hindu rashtram.
We have 10 Jannpath chamchas amidst us who seem to be more ashamed than proud of the difficult battles and wars won with their lives by the soldiers of Hindusthana. These soldiers are the jyoti punj of Hindu dharma.
The temporary mad grip of third rate politicians permeating every public activity should end.
The nation of Hindusthan is greater than everyone of us. She is a reality, she is our mother who has nurtured us and has given us the opportunity to serve her. There cannot be a greater privilege than this.
To start with, let us remember our pitru-s by offering them tarpanam by setting up a War Memorial so that present and future generations will never ever forget that their sacrificees to achieve true swarajyam for Bharatam have not gone in vain.
The isssue is not about chamcha-s.
Ths issue is about every citizen of Bharata des'am who has a promise to fulfil and hand over the deepam of our civilizational heritage to the future generations.
Ths issue is about the future of the youngest nation on the face of the globe.
Ths issue is about every child saying in unison, Hindusthanam shall prevail. I am proud to be part of this journey in dharma. There can be no greater privilege in life.
namaskaram.

Defining national identity by paying tribute to the yoddha (veterans) of Hindusthan. Yes, we need a Hindusthan Patriot Act.
I watched almost the entire proceedings of the Democratic National Convention, Denver for 3 nights and many hours of talk shows on MSNBC and CNNpolitics.com .
As I recollect the memories of the events which unfolded in this Convention, I recall one event as the highlight of the entire Convention. To me, this is the defining moment, the very definition of American identity.
This was a 7 minute short film made by Steven Spielberg. The film was titled , 'A Timeless Call' and was a tribute to the veterans of US armed forces.

SWAMI LAXMANANANDA SARASWATI
Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati (84) is known as second incarnation of
Lord Parsuram. He took the vow to develop the down trodden class of
people of the society and made his centre of activities at CHAKAPAD in
the tribal district, Kandhmal of Orissa.Besides social and religious
development of the tribal people he made them economically sound and
academically well up. He established a Gurukul pattern of school and
a college to teach Sanskrit in Chakapada a remote place of Kandhmal
district.
Jalespatta is another ashram of Swamijee in Ganjam district of Orissa
where education is being imparted to women population with an
intention to build women workers for economic development of masses
who are culturally and politically neglected.
While there was a move to ban cow slaughter in India, Swamijee came
from Himalaya to Orissa. After the movement of cow protection was
over, Swamijee decided to return back to his Tapashya when the then
chief of RSS of Orissa Sri Bhupendra Kumar Basu narrated the sad
stories of the tribal population of the state and requested him to
help the suffering population. Swamijee went to Phulbani (Kondhmal)
with Sri Basu, saw the life of people there and decided to serve the
backward people there and focus them to join into the main stream of
the society. In 1969 he started his first ashram at Chakapada and the
ashram became a centre for brisk activities. He renovated the temples:
Birupakshya, Kumareswar and Jogeswar and established a Sanskrit school
and a college. Swamijee invested his full energy to teach the youth of

built the youths to disciplined citizen well civilized, well
cultured, well educated, well spiritual and protector of the society.
Swamijee was well versed in Vedanta philosophy, Sanskrit grammer and
was awarded with the honour as "VEDANTA KESHARI". He was not only
giving philosophical talks to the people but looking to the
cultivation, animal care, and horticulture and so on. The students
coming out from Kalyan Ashram Gurukula are providing leadership in the
society in economic, social and cultural fields.
Due to his selfless service to humanity he received the award:
VIVEKANANDA SEVA PURASKAR" from Kumar Pustakalya, Kolkota.
As he stood firm in Phulbani district for a long time and struggled
against elements of Anti- dharma, the Sankaracharya of Govardhan
Pitha, Puri awarded him with the Upadhi as"BIDHARMI KUCHAKRA VIDARAN

Puri Seer, Orissa CM condoled death of Swamiji, 144 in entire Kandhamal
Bhubaneswar: Puri Gobardhan Pitha Sankaracharya Jagadguru Swami
Nischalananda Saraswati and Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik
condoled the death of senior VHP leader Swami Laxmananda Saraswati,
who was gun down by some unidentified assailants at Jalaspata Ashram
under Tumulibandha Police limits of tribal dominated Phulabani, the
erstwhile Kandhamal.
Christians killed Swamiji, blames VHP, calls 12-hour Orissa bandh on Monday
Bhubaneswar: 23/8(viswasambad Kendra,orissa)Viswa Hindu Parishad has
blamed the Christians for the gruesome killing of Swami Laxmananda
Saraswati at Jalaspatta Ashram under Tumlibandha Police limits of
tribal dominated Phulabani district, the erstwhile Kandhamal on
Saturday night.
"The killing of Swamiji was most unfortunate incident and unwarranted.
He was a true social reformer. We all missed Guruji of Chakapa for a
longtime, his security concerns downplayed," VHP said. Swami, who is
more a social reformer than a religious thinker was killed by
Christians, VHP said.
The killing took place even at a time, when the entire tribal
community in that area was celebrating Janmastami, birthday of Lord
Krishan. The Hindu Seer had on Friday received a threat letter and
informed the Tumulibandha Police Station but adequate security was not
made to protect Swamiji and his followers. Madhu Baba and Kishor Baba,
two close aids of the Seer also killed in the grenade attack.
"Christians have killed Swamiji, we would give a befitting reply to it
very soon," VHP State general secretary Gouri Prasad Rath said. He
further demanded a high level probe into the issue and ban on Churches
working in the district. VHP went on to add that as a mark of protest,
it would shut down Orissa on Monday.
"We would forced to opt violent protest if action not taken against
the killers," Rath warned. "We have called a 12-hour shut down on
Monday protesting against the killing," he added.
Swamiji's contribution to the socio-economic empowerment of tribal
living in Orissa's southern region has posed a major threat for the
conversion activities and finally the missionaries killed Swamiji,
Rath added. He further informed Swamiji has been attacked for ninth
consecutive time till his death and each time the Christians hatched
the conspiracy.
Swamiji have been working in Kandhamal area since late 70s and he
successfully understands object poverty of that region and worked
relentlessly for the socio-economic empowerment of tribal, the VHP
said. VHP also hosted a condoled meeting to pay homage to the departed
soul.
HINDU JAGARANA SAMUKHYA : ORISSA
PRESS RELEASE
Dated the 24th August 2008
Yesterday, around 9.30 p.m. Vedanta Keshari Swami Laxanananda
Saraswati was murdered at his Ashram by armed assailants who used
grenades and sophisticated arms. Along with him Mataji (a female saint
who was looking after the Girls' Boarding School at Jaleshpata), Madhu
baba, Kishore baba and Mauni Baba also got killed by the bullets of
the assailants. The assailants are suspected to be from among the
Dalit Christians blonging to the Baptist church and the Catholic
Church who had threatened him in writing after resolving in a meeting
held at Raikia on the 9th August 2008. There was a well calculated
conspiracy to do away with the Swamijee as he was the biggest obstacle
against proselytisation of the Kondh tribes and the scheduled caste
people in the Kondhmal District. On Friday Swamijee had brought it to
the notice of the district administration, but inspite of the fact
that he was a repeated target of the militant Christians, still the
state government miserably failed to protect his life. He had
organized the local Hindus to prevent Cow slaughter and conversion to
Christianity by strictly implementing two different Acts by the Orissa
Legislature to this effect. Only a month back there was an attack by
more than two thousand armed people at Tumudibandh, only three kilo
meters from his Jalaspata Ashram.
We strongly demand that CBI should enquire into the matter and bring
the consipiracy out of the bag and the real culprits be brought to
book. We do not suspect any Maoist hand behind the incident. Maoist
façade is used deliberately by the church to obfuscate the issue and
terrorize the public.
Hindu organizations suspect Church hand in Swamijee murder
Bhubaneswar, 24/8 (Viswasambadkendra, Orissa ) In a Press release the
President of Hindu Jagarana Samukhya, Shri Ashok Sahu accused the
State Government of deliberately misleading the public by giving a
Maoist color to the gruesome murder of Swamijee Laxanananda Saraswati
at his ashram in Jalasapata in Orissa. For having utterly failed to
give adequate security to Swamijee in the face of repeated attack and
imminent danger to his life and frequent letters from Swamijee himself
to the authorities. In last December on 23rd he escaped a violent
attack and was hospitalized with fatal injuries. Shri Sahu revealed
quoting Swamijee that there was a meeting at Raikia Community Centre
on the 9th August 2008 attended by many Christian militants
representing NGOs and persons like Nakul Nayak the ex-Member of
Parliament and Krishna Padseth the ex- Chairman of the Block from
Tumudibandh. The conspiracy to kill Swami Laxanananda was hatched in
the meeting and on 13th August a threatening letter was circulated to
the district and state authorities along with copies to individual
targets including Swamijee. On 22nd August Swamijee appealed the
District magistrate to enhance his personal security. The news that
his life is in danger has been broadcast by the media in the morning
hours, but alas he was done away with in a well planned cold blooded
murder by the evening before midnight in his own room. He died on the
spot along with all those four others who were with him in the
spiritual discourse. Besides him, the deceased included Mataji who was
in charge of the Girls' Boarding School, Amritananda Baba, Kishore
Baba and guardian of a female student in the Ashram.Swamijee was
preventing the Kondh tribes who were targeted by the Missionaries for
baptisation and was also trying to bring back the Dalit and tribal
converts among Christians back to Hindu fold. For last forty-two years
Swamijee was relentlessly fighting for prevention of Cow- slaughter
and conversion to Christianity particularly the poor and illiterate
Kondh tribes who constitute more than 50% of the population in the
district. He had made Kondhmal his abode and centre of missionary
movement to protect Hindutwa in Orissa. He was one man Army against
the onslaughts of the Church which the Missionaries could not
withstand and at last resorted to the most cowardly act of killing an
84 years old saint in his own hermit, Shri Sahu stated. Earlier also
there were seven such attacks from which he used to providentially
escape. His last words before getting killed, while speaking to one of
his devotees "Never have fears of death when you are working for the
cause of the Motherland". He laid his life for the cause for which he
stood his entire life.Shri Sahu demanded CBI enquiry into the ghastly
incident and wanted the conspiracy angle to unravel. Being queried by
the Press whether the CBI is free from the clutches of the Catholic
Sonia Gandhi at the center, Shri Sahu replied that one has to choose
between two evils and CBI is a lesser evil. Shri Sahu demanded that
the State government has lost their moral right to continue in power
and specially the BJP which has been benefiting by aligning at times
with Hindu cause. The Government failure in protecting Hindu saints
will only compel the peace loving Hindus of Orissa to arm themselves
to protect their interest, Shri Sahu warned. The Press conference
addressed by Shri Sahu was also attended by Shri Ajit Kumar patnaik
the General secretary and Shri Simanchal Khatua the media chief.
Puri Maharaja Shri Dibya Singdeo has strongly demanded the CBI to
bring the culprits to book. Jagadguru Shankaracharya has demanded
resignation of the BJP ministers who have failed to protect the
Swamijee and compel the government to fall for this classic failure of
governance. The Hindu Organizations have given a dawn to dusk bundh
call on Monday, the 25th August through out the State of Orissa to
respect Hindu solidarity and tribute to the departed soul.
Christians killed Swamiji, blames VHP, calls 12-hour Orissa bandh on Monday
Bhubaneswar: 23/8(viswasambad Kendra,orissa)Viswa Hindu Parishad has
blamed the Christians for the gruesome killing of Swami Laxmananda
Saraswati at Jalaspatta Ashram under Tumlibandha Police limits of
tribal dominated Phulabani district, the erstwhile Kandhamal on
Saturday night.
"The killing of Swamiji was most unfortunate incident and unwarranted.
He was a true social reformer. We all missed Guruji of Chakapa for a
longtime, his security concerns downplayed," VHP said. Swami, who is
more a social reformer than a religious thinker was killed by
Christians, VHP said. The killing took place even at a time, when the
entire tribal community in that area was celebrating Janmastami,
birthday of Lord Krishan. The Hindu Seer had on Friday received a
threat letter and informed the Tumulibandha Police Station but
adequate security was not made to protect Swamiji and his followers.
Madhu Baba and Kishor Baba, two close aids of the Seer also killed in
the grenade attack. "Christians have killed Swamiji, we would give a
befitting reply to it very soon," VHP State general secretary Gouri
Prasad Rath said. He further demanded a high level probe into the
issue and ban on Churches working in the district. VHP went on to add
that as a mark of protest, it would shut down Orissa on Monday. "We
would forced to opt violent protest if action not taken against the
killers," Rath warned. "We have called a 12-hour shut down on Monday
protesting against the killing," he added. Swamiji's contribution to
the socio-economic empowerment of tribal living in Orissa's southern
region has posed a major threat for the conversion activities and
finally the missionaries killed Swamiji, Rath added. He further
informed Swamiji has been attacked for ninth consecutive time till his
death and each time the Christians hatched the conspiracy. Swamiji
have been working in Kandhamal area since late 70s and he successfully
understands object poverty of that region and worked relentlessly for
the socio-economic empowerment of tribal, the VHP said. VHP also
hosted a condoled meeting to pay homage to the departed soul.
VHP demands Special Court to trail killers of Swamiji
Expressing strong displeasure over the failure of BJD-BJP Government
led by Naveen Patnaik, Viswa Hindu Parishad on Tuesday demanded to set
up a Special Court to trail the killers of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati
at Jalasapata Ashram in Kandhamal district. Parishad also demanded
death sentence for the Christian Militants, those who shot dead
Swamiji.
"Christian Militants have killed Swamiji not Maoists. Police as well
as the Orissa Government trying to cover up the matter and sheltering
the Church sponsored Militants," the VHP lambasted.
Speaking at a Press Conference here, VHP International General
Secretary Dr Prabin Bhai Togadia demanded that the Orissa Government
should set up a Special Court to trail the killers of Swami and ensure
death sentence for them for their heinous activities.
"We have also demanded to set up a Commission to look into the
activities of Churches, Missionaries, Church sponsored NGOs, foreign
funding to NGOs working for conversion and strict implementation of
anti-conversion laws," Dr Togadiaji said.
Holding the Orissa Government responsible for the gruesome killing of
the noted reformer, Togadia asked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to
book the accused as soon as possible and trial them in a Special
Court. Government neglected Swamiji's security concerns, he added.
"It seems, Orissa Government is patronizing conversion activities and
it is also under pressure from the Churches," he argued. He further
warned that if Orissa Government did not take action against the
killers, VHP would opt violent way to take revenge.
"We can't keep silent, Sadhus and Santhas from across the country
would march towards Orissa Chief Minister's office in Bhubaneswar," he
added.
VHP would conduct Ratha Yatras carrying the ashes of Swamiji through
out Orissa and spread his message and create public opinion against
conversion activities of the Churches, Togadia informed.
Dr Vedantiji, who is leading the Ram Janmabhumi Movement in Ayodhya,
however came down heavily on Missionaries and warned for a violent
agitation. Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh jointly hatching conspiracy against the Hindus in support of the
Churches, the fire brand Hindu Seer said.
"From Nepal to Kashmir to Kandhamal, they only want to eliminate
Hindus. In a country like India, majority feeling persecuted under the
UPA's rule at Centre," Dr Vedantiji added. VHP State secretary Gouri
Prasad Rath, Bajarang Dal national co-convener Subash Chouhan and
State coordinator Umashankar Acharya were among those present at the
meeting. Earlier on Monday, both Togadiaji and Dr Vedantiji attended
funeral ceremony of Swamiji at Chakapada.

Violent blowback in Kandhamal
Anuradha Dutt
[ Rice bowl conversions and 'harvesting of souls' by christian missionaries lead to social strife ]
Violence is raging across Kandhamal district in Orissa in the wake of the killing of the aged Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and four others by a gang of suspected Christian proselytisers at an ashram on the night of August 24. A VHP leader, the swami had been steering the anti-conversion movement in vulnerable tribal areas since the late 1960s. He was reported to have survived an attack last Christmas.
His death has ignited a vicious cycle of reprisal, with an orphanage run by Christian missionaries in the district and some small 'prayer halls' being set on fire on August 25. The VHP enforced a bandh on the same day. Killings and arson are continuing, with most of the district under curfew and the police and paramilitary contingents patrolling the disturbed areas.
Kandhamal district has experienced clashes between Hindus and Christians over the years. Its estimated population of 6,00,000 includes about 1,50,000 Christians. Orissa, on account of widespread poverty and backwardness, is fertile ground for professional proselytisers, whose conversion activities, hinging on economic inducements, often prove counter-productive.
A case in point is the brutal killing of Australian evangelist Graham Staines and his two minor sons at Manoharpur village of Orissa's Keonjhar district in the early morning of January 23, 1999. They were burnt alive by an angry mob that set their station wagon afire while they were asleep.
Dara Singh, a Hindu activist, is standing trial for the crime, with the secular lobby castigating Hindutva proponents and their outfits. But they seem to have overlooked the fact that Staines, secretary-cum-treasurer of the Evangelical Missionary Society of Mayurbhanj, was not merely engaged in converting tribals and other disadvantaged people; he was also virulently opposed to Hinduism. This is reportedly apparent in his progress reports to sponsors, carried in a journal called Tidings.
The demand by Hindu organisations for the expulsion of Christian missionaries from India arises from the perception that the latter, besides converting people by giving them monetary, educational and health benefits, also try to subvert the dominant Hindu ethos.
Staines, for instance, while doing commendable work via the Leprosy Mission, was also seen by adversaries to be insidiously spreading the poison of hatred against the mainstream faith.
The issue has two important facets. The first is the colossal failure of the state and Hindu preceptors to address the problems of social oppression and economic deprivation, suffered by disadvantaged groups. And the second is the willingness of Christian missionaries to ameliorate their lot, often -- though not always -- for a price. Yet, after all these decades of frenetic evangelism, a mere 2.3 per cent of the population is Christian as per the 2001 Census.
The Constitution's article 25 enshrines the right to "free profession, practice and propagation of religion", subject to curbs. There are anti-conversion laws in several States to prevent forced conversions. It is important to draw a distinction between unscrupulous professional proselytisers, who are paid by head-count, and missionaries, dedicated to good work such as running excellent hospitals and health centres, schools and colleges for the poor and for the vast middle class.
One cannot tar everyone with the same brush. Politician Eduardo Faleiro observes in an article, Freedom of Religion (June 6, 2006): "Whilst freedom of religion is a basic human right, proselytism receives universal condemnation. Proselytism is defined as the use of unscrupulous methods of persuasion such as material inducements, psychological pressure or spiritual threats to compel a person to change his or her religion. Proselytism... attacks other religious beliefs and practices and proclaims that its own religion is the only way to salvation. It is often supported by financial resources and marketing techniques that make local religious activities seem second rate and inferior".

EXTRACTS FROM ARUN SHOURIE'S " HARVESTING OUR SOULS: MISSIONARIES, THEIR DESIGNS, THEIR CLAIMS" (RUPA & CO) -- [pp 16-19.]
QUOTE:
" It turns out that Staines and his wife Gladys,regularly filed despatches for a journal in Australia, TIDINGS. This journal is run by a missionary organization in Australia which financed Staines and his activities in Manoharpur. When the Commission (Justice Wadhwa) learned about the despatches,it requested the concerned persons for copies of the journal. None were supplied! The Commission had to obtain these from other sources. Justice Wadhwa reproduces several extracts from these despatches.
GRAHAM and GLADYS STAINES - MAYURBHANJ, 25 APRIL 1997: The first jungle camp in Ramchandrapur was a fruitful time and the Spirit of God worked among the people. About 100 attended and some were baptized t the camp. At present Misayel and some of the Church leaders are touring a number of places where people are asking for baptism. Five were baptized at Bigonbadi. Pray for the Etani Trust in which the mission properties are vested. One man managed by underhand means to get parts of the property in his own name and a number of nominal Christians of the Baripada Church are also trying to get some of this valuable property for themselves. The Trust is having to take legal action to rectify this.
GRAHAM and GLADYS STAINES, MAYURBHANJ, 23 July 1997: Praise God for answered prayer in recent Jagannath car festival at Baripada. A good team of preachers came from the village churches and four OM workers helped in the second part of the festival. There were record book sales,so a lot of literature has gone into people's hands - - - . [ Incidentally, OM is a carefully chosen acronym: the organization it signifies is actually one of the largest publishers and distributors of missionary literature, and has its offices in Carlisle, Cumbria, United Kingdom.]
GRAHAM and GLADYS STAINES, MAYURBHANJ, 19 September 1997: Praise God we now have the HO New Testament in Oriya script and many copies are now in the hands of the HO people [Staines had done the translation himself]. Pray God that it will be used of God to speak to many as they read his word in their own language - - - .
GRAHAM and GLADYS STAINES, MAYURBHANJ, 11 February 1998: Jungle camp means four days of Bible teaching, prayer and fellowship of Christians living together.It enables believers from other churches to meet with local Christians to discuss experiences and encourage one another - - - . The camp can also create hunger in the hearts of those who come just to observe. Each camp has a bookstall,which for many is the only chance to buy Christian literature - - -. It was also encouraging to see so many HO people following the references in the HO New Testament during the messages at Sarat Jungle Camp. We sold all the New Testaments that we took there - - -.
GRAHAM and GLADYS STAINES, MAYURBHANJ, 19 December 1998: It is encouraging to hear of some improvement in the Church at Manoharpur and that they are preparing for the jungle camp. Misayel, Paul and Nehemiah visited Patana in early December but, as many were away rice harvesting,they could meet only with a few. They were able to encourage a new believer who had been a priest of the Sana Dhoram, an animist sect.The village people pleaded with him not to become a Christian saying 'How can we continue our worship if you leave us?'. 'You can do as you like, but I am following Christ', he said. Continue to pray. God is working.
The typical concerns of a typical missionary - harvesting souls for the Church,ensuring that properties of the Church do not fall into the hands of others,ensuring that control of the Church affairs remains in the hands of persons who will heed the missionary. The prejudices of a missionary - Sanatana Dharma, an animist sect! While his wife and some others denied this,one of his close associates spoke of his "hatred" for other religions. This associate reported - and even Gladys, Staines wife, acknowledged - that, if he happened to be at any non-Christian function,Graham Staines would never take PRASAD,as, Mrs. Staines claimed, doing so is prohibited in the Bible -- - .
After reviewing the evidence, the Wadhwa Commission concludes: " Besides his involvement with the Leprosy House,Staines was also involved in missionary work.The missionary work of Staines has come to light from the various desptches sent by him to Australia,which are published in the newsletter TIDINGS. Staines also used to take part in baptism ceremonies - - - - - -. However,it is the despatchs sent by Staines to Australia in the newsletter TIDINGS that make it clear that Staines was also involved in active propogation of his religion apart from his social work. It is also clear from the said despatches that conversions were taking place in jungle camps. -- - - . It is obvious, therefore, that Staines was both a social worker engaged in the treatment and eradication of leprosy amongst the poorest of the poor and also a missionary driven by a deep commitment to his religion and the belief that he should spread its tenets amongst the people in the area. His missionary activities,did lead to conversions of tribals to his faith."

Trauma in ashram, schoolgirls witnessed Swami’s murder
Ravik Bhattacharya
Posted online: Friday, August 29, 2008 at 0127 hrs IST
Jelaspota (Orissa), August 28
While violence rages across Kandhamal district, in the ashram, where its spark was lit when Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati and four others were killed on August 24, the adults are angry, the children traumatised.
Many of the 130 girls in the Kanya Ashram, a residential school on the campus, were eyewitnesses to the killing of the VHP leader and that incident has burnt memories they will never forget.
“First, we thought someone is bursting crackers and so we ran towards the main gate. Then we saw and heard people screaming and running. There was blood all over the place. Swamiji and Mataji and others were lying in blood. I shouted and ran away, we all started running here and there,” said 15-year old Anita Pradhan. She is from Raikia and has been in the ashram for three years.
According to Anita, it was around 7 in the evening, prayer time in the students’ quarters. Swamiji and Mataji Bhaktimoyee, head of the girls hostel, were inside Swamiji’s room adjacent to the main entrance.
According to eyewitnesses, 10 to 15 men climbed the wall and started firing indiscriminately. They first shot dead Amritanandji, a disciple of Swamiji. The attackers then entered a small room, home to Prabhati Ganta, the guardian of one of the students who was living there. They shot him, too. Later, Kishore Baba, a resident of Boudh, was shot just outside this room.
It was then that they broke open Saraswati’s room. “Swamiji ran into the toilet to save himself and shut the door. Mataji, who hid behind the door, was shot first. The miscreants then broke open the toilet door and sprayed bullets,” said an eyewitness.
Vijaylaxmi Mullick, a Class X student at the ashram, is too traumatised to narrate the incident. Her voice trembles and falters as she remembers. “I rushed towards the main gate along with others only to see some men running around and loud cracking noise. I heard the cries of Swamiji and others. I saw other Swamijis running here and there. I was scared and ran inside the hostel room with another girl. We sat huddled together. Until after a long time, one of the Swamijis came and escorted us out of the room.”
Kusum Pradhan, a Class 6 student, could not venture out of her hostel room after dark following the incident. “I too rushed out after hearing the noise. I saw bodies lying in blood. I touched Swamiji’s feet, who was lying in the bathroom. It was still warm but he did not move. Nor did Mataji, who lay inside the room,” was all Kusum could say.
The 130 girls, who now reside inside the hostels of the sprawling ashram, now cannot venture out. The ashram is guarded by CRPF and Orissa police constables. The girls’ relatives are unable to visit the ashram and take them home because of the violence and the ongoing curfew in the district.
Brahmachari Shankar Chaitanya, who is now in charge of the ashram and is always escorted by police constables and CRPF personnel, seethes with anger against both Christians and the state government. “We had written 30 times to the state government that Swamiji’s and our lives were at stake, that we were being threatened by Christian leaders. Before the incident, we got a letter threatening to kill Swamiji. We formally complained to the police and district authorities. They sent only four baton-wielding constables,” said Shankar Chaitanya. “Not a single minister visited us after the incident, not even of our BJP. The Collector comes sometimes. He gave us rice, dal and sugar for the children.”
Chaitanya alleged that it was Christians, not Maoists, who were responsible for the incident. “The Maoists can never do this. It is Christians who threaten us everyday and they did this,” he said. He alleged that the ashram has been kept out of the peace process. “No one called us for any meeting or to take part in any peace process. As long as are kept out, the violence will continue.”

CHURCH IN THE DISGUISE OF MAOIST LED ATTACK ON SWAMI LAXMANANDA SARASWATI
Swami Laxamananda Saraswati was instrumental in bringing out a dramatic developments in the tribals in Phulbani district, in Orissa , for last 42 years almost half of his age . He was born in the district of Anugul(erstwhile Dhenkanal) and led an ascetic life . He left his home and went to Himalayas for meditation.
During one of his visit to the state of Orissa in 1966, he was moved by the miseries of the tribals in Phulbani and took on himself for the up-liftment of these down-trodden mass.. He established an Ashram at Birupakshya Pitha, Chakapad, Phulbani, school for education, hostel for the poor, kanyaahram for the girls, taught various methods of cultivation and farming .
He succeeded in bringing out a drastic change in the day-to-day living of the locals in the field of education, health and culture and thus protected the inhabitants from the false allurement shown by the missionaries with the sole aim of conversion to Christianity.
Thus Swami Laxamananda Saraswati became the soft target to the missionaries who use to exploit the tribals. The missionaries has both money and hence muscle power. These organizations attempted to kill him several times - nine attempts have failed. They tried to kill him in last week of December 2007- where about 200 people were organized with all the hand weapons to kill him but he was luckily saved. This was not the end of the conspiracy.
There was a meeting on 9th Aug 2008 at Kulmaha village near Tumudibandha . This was attended by the infamous John Dayal spokeman of All India Christian Council who had already hinted earlier that the attack on Hindus by Christians had started, Arch Bishop of Bhubaneswar Raphel Chinath. They had conspired the plot. John Dayal was in the state for last 15 days probably to oversee the details of planning. A letter of threatening was dispatched to Swamiji on 13 Aug 08 .He returned from Cuttack on 22 Aug 08. In a well planned way he was assassinated on 23 Aug 08 evening at 1945 hours when mass prayer was going in the Ashram .
Swamiji was like a God to the locals. The day when Lord Krishna was borne Swamiji was assassinated. Is this a Janmstami Present by the Christians to the Hindu community ? The Christian missionaries are mistaken that they have achieved their goal . Probably another Krishna will be borne. .

Maoists deny role in VHP leader's murder

'Some wayward cadre lured by some committed the crime'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy of the letter sent to VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders
Maoists also deny role in the murder of VHP activists at Jalaspata
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BERHAMPUR: Mystery behind the gruesome murder of VHP leader Swami
Lakshmanananda Saraswati and his four associates has deepened. The
Bajrang Dal and VHP activists as well sections of the media have
received a suspected Maoists' letter where they claim that their
central committee had no role in the murder.
The letter claimed that some wayward cadre of the Maoist outfit were
lured by nefarious elements to commit the crime. Meanwhile naxal
sympathizers of Orissa have also claimed that Maoists had no hand in
the murder of the VHP activists at Jalaspata in Kandhamal district.
A copy of the letter was sent to the State joint secretary of the VHP
and the State joint coordinator of the Bajrang Dal, Ramakant Rath. The
letter was claimed to be written by the Kotgarh unit of the CPI-Maoist
party.
'Action planned'
As per the letter the organization would initiate action against some
of their cadres in Kandhamal district who could be hired for money by
communal Christian miscreants for the murder of the VHP leader and his
associates. The reason for the murder was their opposition to
religious conversion by missionaries and recent clash over cow
slaughter in Tumudibadh area. "The State central committee of the
Maoists had no knowledge of this", the letter claimed. The naxals felt
police were putting the blame of murder of VHP leader on them trying
to detach them from the common mass.
Many Maoist sympathizers of south Orissa have also denied the role of
CPI-Maoist in the murder of VHP leaders that sparked off communal
violence in Kandhamnal district.
Through a press note Dandapani Mohanty, general secretary of the
Orissa Forest Mazdoor Union said Maoists had no role in the communal
murders in Kandhamal district. It may be noted that Mr Mohanty earlier
headed the Daman Pratirodh Manch, which was banned by the State
Government for its pro-naxal activities. The case filed by against the
ban order is sub judice in the Orissa High Court.
It may be noted that the State unit of the BJP is also not buying the
claim of the State Government that Maoists had murdered the VHP
leader.
