It pains me to see how media is attacking Param Pujya Sant shrii asaram Bapu. Is it that we will never recognize these saints during their life time? From times immemorial we have seen that whenever a saint comes to uplift the society also come the negative elements. May be you can say that the God only incarnates himself in the form of these saints to ward off those negative elements and works for the betterment of the downtrodden, the wretched people, people who have forgotten their own glory, who have forgotten that they are the masters and have been enslaved by Maya, people trampled under the burden of miseries. No matter how hard these enlightened souls work for our betterment, notwithstanding the innumerable pains they have to bear, we ordinary mortals keep criticizing them. Very to sorry to say, Media is playing a great role in this.

Media, no doubt, has a great role to play. Many scams and crimes come to light only because of Media. But is media justified in defaming a spiritual leader without any concrete proof. Or is it that TRPs is the only important thing for them, no matter how unscrupulously achieved. Why is it that a wrong picture is being painted in front of people; why are the facts not been brought to light; why are malicious and false theories being concocted; why are the evidences being tweaked in such a manner that arouse shock wave? I just read an article which says that the disciples of Bapuji are protesting against these reports and wishing ill of the people involved. Let me clear this, Bapuji wishes no ill and we, the disciples of this great Guru wish you no ill. Those who stand by the truth need have no fear, for God lends his support to those who stand for truth. May the truth prevail.

India is a land of saints and monks, its country where even a snake is treated as God. Has this country of saints forgotten to venerate the saints? Can we live without them? Wouldn’t we be drowned in the materialistic world? Do we know how to get out of the snares we have ourselves woven around us? A very simple answer is NO. It calls for a Guru like Bapuji to pull us out. A Guru who has realized God, who has total control over his senses, who is a repository of knowledge, is only capable of leading us on the Path to God. Slaves of there own whims, running madly after the vagaries of their mind can not help. And what are we doing; instead of venerating him, we are casting aspersions, assaulting his divine work.

Under the divine guidance of Bapuji so many Bal sanskar Kendra being run all over the country. What do they actually do? The ideology of a BSK (bal sanskar Kendra) is that children are the asset of any country, on their tender shoulders rests the future of the Nation. Train the children for a bright future. BSK is an attempt to inculcate the moral values we have long forgotten. It teaches the kids to respect their parents like Shravan kumar. In BSk, children get to hear stories of our heroes like Shivaji, Jhansi ki rani, Meera, Swami Vivekananda.

Well the list of activities done at a BSK doesn’t stop here. Children learn pranayam, and I guess I need not tell the reader the benefits of pranayamas. They learn yoga, learn hymns from ramcharitmanas; get to hear stories with spiritual and moral values. All in all, BSK builds the personality and it’s the personality that matters. Personality gives you the power to combat any situation and come out wining.

Bapuji is rendering great seva to the nation and what are we giving him back. Well, we are no one to give him anything, but at least we can respect him, be a part of his divine work. Request all the people around, STOP CASTING ASPERSION on him, if you have got no respect for him, at least do not sling mud.
