GOD MEN IN GOD”S OWN COUNTRY

God’s own country is swarming with God men / women of all hues as if Kerala is “God men’s own country”. Recently two of these ‘swamis’ were arrested by the police for their nefarious activities including international crime. It is also alleged that several police functionaries are in collusion with these phony swamis in their anti-social activities. As is usual with top criminals, one of the swamis became ill soon after arrest and was shifted to the lofty wards of the Government medical college hospital. One must conclude that these criminals parading in the garb of holy men are extending the appalling level of corruption permeating every aspect of Keralites’ life to the sphere of spirituality and faith. May God give good sense to the people of Kerala to spot such phonies and discard them. As Sankara advised, Bhaja Govindam--------.
