'Kanchi seer has to be released
immediately. Arresting him at mid-night and throwing him into jail
like an ordinary criminal is condemnable" said Dalit Hindu Makkal
Sabha".
"Besides doing spiritual work. the
Swamigal was carrying on the work of consolidation of the society,
Education, and health .the arrest has been carried out just to put
hurdles in this work and to tarnish the image of the Mutt. The other
reasons are to appease the other religions the threats of the anti-Hindu
parties".
"Arresting a Hindu religious leader
on false charges ,arresting him at midnight and putting him in jail
as an ordinary criminal has evoked the opposition of the entire Hindu
community. Hence he should be released immediately. To show our opposition
we had demonstrated twice under the leadership of our state leader
Ganesh.
If the seer is not released immediately
a massive demonstration will be organized." the release of the Dalit
Hindu Makkal Sabha said. (Dinamalr:21.11.04)

Mata Amritanadamayi Expresses Anguish
At Seer's Arrest
"I am saddened by the arrest of
Sri.Jayendra Saraswathi Swami" said Mata Amritanandamayi , a great
Hindu spiritual leader.
In a release she has said that"
It is very sad. It seems like a dream. The fact that the drama still
continues, deepens the mental wounds .Great many Peetadhipathis
during Sri Adi Sankara's time have been safeguarding the Vedas. No
one should try to weaken this heritage. It is like mixing salt in
the Milk of Gnana that has been given by the Vedas. There may be
differences in the society. But we must forget them and for the sake
of the Vedas and Adi Sankara we must unite. Otherwise the differences
will widen and give rise to more problems." (Dinamalar;21.11.04)
