You cannot post the articals by just seeing one side of the story.
If you are so atheist and leave no stone unturned to defame Saints, then its your morel duty to show the other side of the story as well.
Why do you not post about the sting operation done by a2z news channel and the truth about Swami Nityananda?
You have highlighted charges against Saints, would you dare to write about scandles in Kerala church or the Madarsas where anty national things are tought?
You have easily used words such as Sadhu and Saint, do you have guts to write such things about Maulvis or Maulanas?
Saints are calm and quiet, so yokel people like you get lot of spice to defame them.

Seems like another Sadhu just got caught – “In yet another shocking incident, a self-styled god man Swami Nityananda has been found involved in a sex scandal after a news channel released footage showing him in a compromising position with Tamil actresses, who have not been been identified yet.”

That is precisely my point. I have not commented on the case but have highlighted the facts and even if those incidents occured due to the negligence of ashram authorities the same has undoubtly tained the image of the ashram.
I think you cannot associate hinduism with only saints and sadhus.. Hinduism is much more than that, it is a way of living. No one can ever challenge hinduism by only challenging one of its protaginists. It is a faith which exists in the hearts of the people and in not just the words of the pundits. If some one even Saint Asaram Bapu for that matter, is scrutinized by people what is the harm in that? He is also a citizen of the country and is as much legally bound as anyone else, moreover if he is not guity, his innocence would be established in due course of time. Why not hear both sides of story (from the media, Raj Chandak, politicians etc and the ashram itself)?
If he is being tried by media in certain respects, he is also being acquitted by people in others. As rightly said by you lets not comment positive or negative until the verdict is delivered.

The two deaths in Ashram were due to negligence of the ashram authority, but not due to those reasons, which are being projected and fabricated by the Media & Politics etc. Yes to Taint the image of Saint Asaram, every word, action, discourse, movements of his are scrutinized by people who are motivated with greed to challenge the very existence of Hinduism and its symbols in form of saints. There is always Justice to what we deliver to others by words or action. Lets not comment negative unless verdict is delivered.

Ashish the whole problem in sensitive cases like these is that at times the opinions are colored. People think that their guru is being fabricated for acts that were not done by him. The administration, media and police thinks otherwise. Since his crime has not been established I have not commented on whether or not he is guity for the same but the two deaths in the ashram have definitely tained his image.

You are correct… The its not about illiteracy but unawareness which prevails in all strata of the society.

I would request you to read the post again.. I have no where mentioned that all saints are robbers in the post but I have mentioned what are the criminal acts that sadhus have been charged or prosecuted . You have the right to differ but the article was intended to make people aware of the crimes that can be commited against them by their idols.
