Overcoming Hindu Catastrophe" by Dr Babu Suseelan.

DELUSIONAL AND NIHILISTIC THINKING
Recently I had a conversation with a Hindu Swamiji of repute with
large followers all over the world. This reputed Swamiji was not
interested in knowing about the perennial conditions of Hindus
including coercive religious conversion, Jihadi terrorism, corruption,
Chinese and Pakistani border infiltration, massacre of Hindus in
Kashmir by Islamic terrorists, looting of temple wealth and Hajj
subsidy. He listened to my questions with care. But he was not
interested in any vigorous discussion with the utmost seriousness. We
differed on all points. He disagreed with my statement that the
prevailing mood of Hindus is frustration, denial, bewilderment and
despair.
My questions with this Hindu Swami and his answers will astonish all
serious Hindus worried about the rising ignorance of Hindu religious
leaders and phony secular politicians.
*Question: Did you hear that Islamic terrorists have killed
hundreds of innocent Hindus recently in Varanasi, Mumbai, New Delhi,
Bangalore and Kerala.
*Swamiji: "Oh". Muslims are terrifying people now. Why Hindus
are afraid? How funny. Did you know that meditation can make you
strong?
*Question: Jihadi terrorists are kicking out all Hindus from
Kashmir and do you have any suggestion to stop ethnic cleansing in
Kashmir?
*Swamiji: You know that we are not real, our body is not real.
Read our Vedas and Upanishads. It might be a good time to check it
out.
*Question: Congress Party headed by Italian born Sonia is
looting our wealth by corrupt means. Do you have anything to say?
Swamiji: People are after money and material wealth. You can
join our meditation group for peace and tranquility.
*Question: Today our life is hard. We are faced with Jihadi
terrorism, Maoist Violence, deceptive religious conversion, people are
being robbed, alcoholism and drug abuse are on the increase. What is
the hope? Where did our glorious past go? What will be our future as a
nation?
Swamiji: All civilizations function like a human being, that
both will continually die, when the time is up. We must learn to
appreciate the horrors and dangers of life, to move past them and look
beyond something greater. We can make it if we use the power of our
soul, and realize that you are part of Brahman. Help fight your inner
frustration, emotions and feelings. I pledge alliance to my Guru.
Please join our meditation group.
*Question: Government of India spent a staggering sum of 2,891.77
core rupees (Rs28, 920, 000,000) (US $672,558,140) for Muslim Hajj
pilgrimage where Muslims are required to behead innocent animals.
Hindu temples are managed by atheists, Marxists and phony secularists
and temple wealth is looted. Do you have any suggestion to stop this
evil practice?
*Swamiji: You concentrate on realizing the real self, seek the
ultimate truth. Why do we have to speak up on such matters? Jump
starts your spiritual progress and experience an abiding sense of
peace.
THE DARK SIDE OF THE SOUL CHASERS
I found this Hindu Swami with millions of followers around the world
as profoundly spiritual but devoid of any reality
orientation. Is he intellectually exciting…I doubt. His avoidance of
real threatening issues astounded me. In his incredible arrogance, the
Swami imagined himself entirely sufficient unto himself. He claims
that the present crisis is only an illusion fostered by ignorant
Hindus. Salvation of our soul and self-realization are the catch word
for him. It seems that he is worshipping his own power and enjoying
his luxury and worldwide followers. My encounter with him was
appalling, and its consequences could hardly have been otherwise.
Horrors which we all believed has been banished since independence,
missionary rule, Islamic terrorism, and torture of Hindus in India
have come back in the most virulent form. Are our Hindu religious
leaders concerned about our torturous life, the all-absorbing problem?
Can these Swamijis join the distinguished group of statesmen like
Swami Vivekananda, Swami Aurabindo, Swami Ramdev, Shivaji Maharaj,
Subbramanya Bharathi, Sravrkar, Hedgewar, and Guru Golwalkar? We can
learn from them, appreciate them and we can go beyond delusional
thinking, and see things what they really are. These great men offers
the way, if we care to use it, and unlock our shackles and open our
mind kept closed for thousands of years.
