The Uttarakhand Warning

The news of the BJP govt in Uttarakhand (UK) reversing its decision to takeover 51 temples came on April 9. That is 3 days after the elections in Tamil Nadu were over. Maybe they should have announced it a week before the TN elections as the party promised to remove govt interference in temples in TN too. Of course, the party was vague about the promise and PM Narendra Modi himself did not shout about it in any of his speeches. So, there is enough doubt that it was just an election stunt as BJP is not expected to wield any power in TN and, worse, it would end up in nothing if DMK returned to power. However, one must give credit to the BJP that they managed to create some noise about “Temple freedoms” and wanting to be the “saviour” and also get some associates to blow their blaring trumpets:

That’s right! The BJP technically has no stake in Tamil Nadu other than a token presence so they can promise anything. They can even promise life-size Rihanna dolls and it wouldn’t have made any difference. But there are other charlatans parading as “spiritual gurus” who suddenly started off on a free-temples campaign. Notably, Jaggi Vasudev who styles himself as “Sadhguru” started a campaign around November-December 2020 with gentle tweets and interviews about temples. This guy is not exactly a “Hindu guru” but an amalgam of all the ingredients of “Bhel Puri” from every religion and some of his own concoction. Now, even given all that, there is nothing wrong if one is campaigning to free temples but this extra-ordinary timing with TN elections and considering the fact that this JV abuses Hindu icons made everyone raise eyebrows.

Someone put out a video of JV where he speaks in a very flippant manner about the relationship between Krishna and Yashoda and alludes to the relationship as “Ras-Leela” and the mother being unable to adjust to the sudden physical growth of Krishna. And these moronic comments to earlier comments on Yoga having nothing to do with Hinduism or Shivratri not being Hindu – it reflects a sick mind that neither understands Hinduism nor scientific concepts. JV stupidly asserts “If Yoga is Hindu, then Gravity is Christian”. Obviously, it’s a dumb statement without a decent understanding of the two. I have explained JV’s ignorance of “invention” and “discovery” in a whole thread on Twitter.

Everyone who knows a bit about JV suspects he fears the return of DMK to power for some reason and there might be investigations into his suspected land scams and encroachment of forest lands in Coimbatore. Therefore, they suspected his sudden love for temples when he trashes and distorts Hindu practices and values and particularly his love for only TN temples. Prior to February 23 this year, JV made no tweets specifically about TN temples. He was just in time to act as the sidekick of BJP in its election campaign:

Interestingly, JV marks his #TNTemple tweets to superstar Rajinikanth also. Maybe he hopes Rajini will whisper into the ears of both party leaders and put in a good word for JV. Hindus from various parts of the country have been sporadically vocal about freedom for their temples from govt control and abuse. Some of the richest temples in India are victims of loot by the govt. In addition to the loot, the temples are corrupted by employing Non-Hindu personnel who don’t have any devotion to the temple or its deity. Naturally, when JV’s abuse of Hindu icons was brought up, his Nazi-like moronic foot-soldiers started abusing Hindus who were questioning the motives of this sudden temple charade. Mind you, JV is not campaigning for “Hindu” temples but specifically for “TN temples” as great, divine assets of Tamil and Dravidian culture. Now, the problem is the TN campaign will fizzle out like a “Seasonal Cocktail” but since UK reversed its temple-takeover decision, the charlatan and his sidekicks were desperate to claim some victory from somewhere:

Nazi-like footsies of JV grandly claim that he hasn’t staked any credit for the turnaround in UK. But these morons don’t read the language of his tweet and the congratulatory messages Bollywood blabbermouths are showering on him. JV grandly thanks his 3cr (whoever they are) for UK but the charlatan that he is, he never once tweeted about UK temples. When the UK govt made the decision to takeover temples there was no protest by JV, not even a mild one. JV did not even yelp like a little puppy about the temples being taken over but grandly sends out a message as if he and his gang had anything to with it. No, for the morons who behave like Nazi footsies of JV, one doesn’t have to expressly state “I take credit, I am glad I achieved this”. It is IMPLICIT in the message and the tone of the message. Only dumb fools would claim otherwise. There were others, like former CBI cop M Nageswara Rao, also dancing over this as if this was some accomplishment of his but the real credit is due to the priests of UK who protested and agitated:

One particular priest, Santosh Trivedi, was on a shirtless protest at Kedarnath in the cold weather for 10 days. None of these fake gurus or other “Professional Election Temple warriors” had any decency to credit the fighting priests directly. It would be obvious to anyone that the temple takeover in UK was one of the dumbest decisions of BJP and severely at odds with its grand promise to free temples from govt control Tamil Nadu. The BJP manifesto for TN included this promise and one wonders how they are going to be able to do anything about temples in TN even if they win all the 20 seats they contested in TN. Such daring promises are usually made when the party is sure of losing elections. Pappu makes such promises in states where Congress stands very little or zero chance of winning (Like making everything from ships to chips in Bundelkhand, Barmer etc). A prospective winner is careful in making promises, a sure-shot loser can promise the moon:

Winners are busy doing business and winning, losers run to the media. Predictably, when the charlatan JV was blasted for all the abuse he showered on Hindu icons he rushed to the current BJP pimps Timesnow and Republic to save his bottom. In my books, these frequent TV-hugging fake-gurus are anyway charlatans who pay PR money in the initial stages through agencies to promote themselves. But when JV appeared on RepublicTV he again grandly abused Brahmins as corrupt, promoting caste-prejudices in this day and age. There is no problem if those are his opinions but he uses these as justification for his free-temple nonsense and a NAC like body to be created to manage temples. In short, a Sonia-type body will manage temples with charlatans of a political colour:

While the BJP grandly promised to free temples in TN, the promise came from all their useless foot-soldiers like JP Nadda, CT Ravi or Tejasvi Surya and some others. Modi himself did not utter anything about temples of TN. He visited some TN temples to “emotionally appease” blind Hindus just as he has been cave-meditation, puja and disco-bhajans. The blind Hindus go ga-ga over such temple visits as if Modi has done the gods or the devotees some great favour. In fact, Modi does absolutely NOTHING for Hindus but keeps them emotionally idiotic. In return, many of them worship them as a god. Someone calls him Avatar of Vishnu; someone calls him Ishwar – that is how low the brainless ones can fall. All of Modi’s drama is not different from vote-bank mix that Congress has followed for ages – a potent mix of Dalit-OBC-SC-ST-Muslim:

Modi doesn’t get mass Muslim votes but he hopes that there will just be enough Muslims who will compensate for the loss of the negligible Upper Caste Hindu votes he keeps losing. Look at Modi’s personal Gods – MK Gandhi – anti-Hindu, Mujibur Rehman – anti-Hindu, “Butcher of Calcutta, who Modi lies by calling “hero for all Indians”, Jyotirao Phule – a strong anti-Hindu jerk, calls AMU a den of anti-Hindus a “Mini India”. Modi claims “Mohammad’s teachings can take the world forward” when Islamists are the most regressive lot in the world. Modi nurtures a strong contempt for upper caste Hindus.  In case you didn’t observe, the ones most agitating for temple-freedoms are UC Hindus and that is why Modi doesn’t give a damn about them or the freedom of temples. So, why reverse the UK decision? The answer is simple. The temples in UK are among the most favourites for Yatras by Hindus, UK is a religious and heritage destination, the Kumbh Melas there generate huge revenues. And most of all, elections in UK are coming up in March 2022.

There’s a hilarious story from Karnataka that should also explain the temple-chors of BJP. Three Muslim men Nawaz, Rahim and Taufeeq had urinated in a temple and dropped condoms in the Hundi of the temple. One of the criminals, Nawaz, died and while dying he told the other that the wrath of Lord Shiva had killed him. The other two got rattled and scared and went to the police and confessed their sin. I guess that’s what happened to idiots of BJP too. The guy who decided to steal temples in UK (Trivendra Rawat) lost his job and I guess the party feared a backlash in the upcoming elections less than a year away. UK is a WARNING for BJP – their anti-Hindu conduct and fooling of Hindus has reached a stage that will invariably invite some divine retribution by voters if they don’t immediately correct course. Modi will not last forever, Hindus will.
