Now there is absolutely no point
in all the senseless muckraking against the respected Sri Sri Mohan Bhagwat ji.
We, the idiots, who are not able to comprehend his immense wisdom that goes
beyond even the Sun in elaborating the institution of marriage according to the
practiced Indian standards, are, once again, trying to malign a patriotic soul,
like we have been doing on the deeply-felt words of some of the politicians,
other leaders and godmen over the Delhi gangrape case.
And lo! Some of the idiots like
you and me are calling them the spineless creatures. Shouldn’t we introspect on
getting so harsh on our hardworking politicians who work overtime so that we
can find the trendsetters in them, to look further, to grow up? Isn’t it ferociously
negative to say that such spineless politicians, leaders and godmen are a
plenty.
Don’t we see the hardwork and the
mental exercise that many of the politicians, leaders and godmen are putting in
spreading the knowledge of their expertise with illuminated reactions on the Delhi gangrape?
We always blame that India lacks a
culture of healthy debate and yet we kill the intelligent chances given to us
by our leaders who are nothing less than prodigies, always on the job to
promote the culture of debate by throwing up the debate pointers.
And what do we do? We blame them
of having sic and sexist mentality for the insights that are like gems by the
shining stars like Sri Sri Mohan Bhagwatji, Sri Sri Asaramji, Sri Sri Sharad
Yadavji and many more Sri Sris.
I am a happily single person and
though cannot write much on the institution of marriage in the Indian tradition;
I can easily understand his logic. It is pity millions couldn’t.
And to add to all, a rundown
institution of media in the country, always on the lookout for easy and
‘sensationalizable’ stories, in collusion with the souls like you and me and
every other protester (who claimed to be the progressive-thinking lot), finds a
readymade appetizer, picks up every word and calls for some readymade analysts
from the ‘wonderland of no-man’s land’, to fuel the fire, in order to chart the
highway of the rated viewership and readership.
And the grand outcome: We miss
the chance. And for what? Let’s see what Sri Sri Bhagwatji had said: “A husband
and wife are involved in a contract under which the husband has said that you
should take care of my house and I will take care of all your needs. I will
keep you safe. So, the husband follows the contract terms. Till the time, the
wife follows the contract, the husband stays with her, if the wife violates the
contract, he can disown her.”
Now it might well have been a
personal experience when Sri Sri Bhagwatji couldn’t find anyone who was ready
to sign such a contract with him. But at the end of it, he tried to convey it
to us to see if we could learn for his experience.
Now it is well known fact that
almost of the couples who tie the knot with Vedic rituals don’t remember the seven
vows they take during the ritual of ‘saat phere’. Probably, our Sri Sri
Bhagwatji was intending us to write and memorize the seven vows. Anyway, I
should not speculate on it. It would be denying the stature of Sri Sri
Bhagwatji and other Sri Sris. And we already have done much of that. Making
this observation at this ripe age tells us he has practiced the observational
learning on the subject matter extensively.
Though our Sri Sris are beyond
the point of humiliation (they can be said ‘Siddha’ or ascetics who accept
criticism and praise in the same vein, and keep on working for the well being
of others), our protests do derail their motivation. Some of them are even
forced to backtrack. And that ultimately harms us as we negatively trade-off
the chances then.
