WHAT A DISTASTEFUL, DECEITFUL DELIVERY OF ARRANT NONSENSE MASQUERADING AS YOGIC KNOWLEDGE AND ITS DUBIOUS DERIVATIVES FROM A PRIME CHARLATAN OF THE DAY ! BEWARE !
I keep listening to this pretentious Guru with the proverbial gift of the gab -- although he speaks utter nonsense about stuffs he calls yogic -- only to try and discover to what extent the rich people of India who he addresses have sunk in character. And I find their degradation disgusting. Else, how on earth could they support these charlatans who are despoiling them of their ill-begotten wealth which to some may still be a source of satisfaction in this entire transaction of receiving ludicrous ideas at a princely price?
This bearded one in flowing robes has the temerity to call India an amoral nation, a Godless country and what not, simply because she has been a nation of spiritual seekers? What a preposterous statement is that? India, an amoral, Godless country? I know that there will be wise saws who will be quick to rise in defence of this Guru by self-proclamation and this rotten idea of his. But patience, dear ones ! I full well understand what he is trying to imply by such pronouncements on India's spiritual heritage but I must still say that he is speaking arrant nonsense when he so utters what he utters. India has been and continues to be the nation with the highest level of morality, and God? why He/She/It has been the very fibre of our national existence since time immemorial.
That nobody has the guts to confront this deceitful Guru except the youth in universities -- and they are liable to be called anti-nationals for questioning him so, for such are the trends of the times -- is proof of the fallen state of the educated people, especially the affluent, who go to hear him and fall for his high-cost mind-engineering programmes thereafter. No wonder Karl Marx -- no doubt by way of his experience of Church-controlled Christianity and his reaction thereof -- had described religion as 'the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, the opium of the people'. But his analysis would not apply to these modern messiahs who Marx had not known. These latter ones are the products of the capitalist order, of a decadent materialism of the rich that resorts to the intoxicants provided in plentiful doses by these devious dealers of the psychological drug, these mercenaries masquerading as messiahs despite contrary assertions against such Semitic traditional types in abundant measure. It is dollar imperialism all the way through, as Swamiji had characterised the United States of America after his second visit. But this is India. Is it then its indigenous variant, the rule of the rupee? I stop here to allow you room to reflect and decide for yourselves.
