Kerala's Guru Poojan Row: A Marxist Farce Unmasks Phony Secularism

Probes were launched, fingers pointed, and the ritual branded a sinister plot to 'instill a slave mentality." Irony, thy name is Kerala's Marxist clown show! This phony outrage isn't just a laugh—it's a glaring unmasking of a government that's anything but indigenous, dripping with hypocrisy while cloaked in a sham secular veil that the BJP is gleefully ripping apart. Let's shred the red-tape nonsense. Guru Poojan, where students express gratitude and veneration to their teachers, is as old as the Vedas—rooted in a culture that bows to animate and inanimate alike, from living souls to nature's splendor. For millennia, Sanatanis have lived this ethos, thanking the cosmos daily, a practice now parroted by the West as some trendy 'gratitude movement." Yet, these Kerala Marxists, with their imported ideologies, dare to deride it as regressive. Their gall is staggering in name-calling the spiritual and the Dharmic practices of the land. They howl it is modernity's enemy, peddling a deracinating delusion to divest Bharat of its soul. This isn't governance; it's the Chinese echo in red robes, hell-bent on uprooting our heritage while posing as progress. Now, let's zoom in on the Marxist hypocrisy—it's a goldmine of double-dealing. Consider their own stalwart, VS Achuthanandan, who previously voiced concerns about Love Jihad, a topic closely linked to safeguarding cultural integrity. However, this self-proclaimed liberal commune proudly refers to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a 'communal party"—a clear example of selective amnesia! And let's debunk the lie that 'Love Jihad" is a BJP or RSS invention; it was coined by K.T. Shankaran, then justice of Kerala High Court, in 2009, based on early concerns over forced conversions. The contradiction is profound! Then there's the temple endowment heist: the government rakes in crores from Hindu temples, feasting on sacred funds, while its atheistic core spits on religion. No deity graces their pantheon, yet they dine on the faithful's offerings with a straight face. This fake secularism isn't a Kerala quirk—it's a plague in Indian politics, and the BJP's bold exposé is rattling these fraudsters to their bones. Dig deeper, and the stench thickens. The Adhikari Thesis, a communist relic, once brazenly pushed for Bharat's balkanization, dreaming of splintering this ancient land into petty fiefdoms. These same ideologues are now using 'unity" as a shield to attack a school ritual, displaying a level of hypocrisy so thick that it could be cut with a sickle. Beyond Kerala, the Marxist playbook reeks of the same duplicity. In West Bengal, the 2007 Nandigram massacre saw farmers gunned down for resisting land grabs—equality with a body count, Marxist-style. In Tripura, communist cadres torched homes to enforce their writ, proving their 'people's rule" is thuggery with a manifesto. Kerala's hartal-happy enforcers mirror this, forcing a 'Bharat Bandh' that Bharat largely ignored, exposing their muscle over merit. Even their own leader, Achuthanandan, later distanced himself from the party line on Love Jihad, yet the government clings to denial, a classic case of ideological flip-flopping. The Guru Poojan row is a symptom of this deeper rot. When the Kerala Governor defended the ritual as cultural heritage, the communist chorus cried foul, pinning RSS agendas on him. But let's flip it: why is respecting a guru 'feudal" when Marxist leaders demand blind loyalty from their cadres? The contradiction is a comedy of errors—Marxism, with its Western lens, has long peddled the myth that spirituality and modernity can't mix. Bunkum! Bharat's rishis built Nalanda while Europe stumbled in the Dark Ages. This deracination agenda, a Marxist mirage, aims to erase our dharmic vanity, swapping it for a hollow materialism that alienates us from our essence. Their hypocrisy peaks when they mock Guru Poojan while pocketing temple gold—sacred funds funding their secular sermonising. Globally, their cousins amplify this farce. China's atheist regime bans religion, Cuba's communist utopia crumbles with no faith to lean on, yet Kerala's Left plays a softer game—co-opting Hindu symbols for votes, then trashing them when convenient. Le Monde once dubbed Kerala's communism 'tropical," a quirky mashup of Marx and Krishna, but it's a sham alliance—embraced for ballots, ditched for dogma. The Guru Poojan row is their latest betrayal, a slap to a culture that weathered invasions, only to be judged by ideologues who'd rather genuflect to foreign theorists than honor local traditions. advetisement The BJP's rise in the public psyche is shaking this farcical show. PM Narendra Modi's blend of development (Vikas) and dharmic pride (Virasat) exposes the Left's hollow secularism. The Kerala government's knee-jerk reaction—ordering probes into a school ritual—smacks of desperation, if not vexation. From hounding Asianet reporters exposing college scams to muzzling temple boards, this regime thrives on control, not conscience. Their Marxist hypocrisy isn't just a Kerala flaw—it's a national embarrassment, and the BJP's unapologetic stance is the mirror they dread.

"Sanatanis will vote only for candidates who support cow protection": Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj

Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 28 (ANI): Ahead of the upcoming Bihar elections, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj on Saturday stated that the Sanatanis (followers of Sanatan Dharma) have decided to vote only for parties or candidates who stand for the protection and welfare of cows. 'Be it any election, we, the Sanatanis, have decided that we will vote for only that party or candidate who will stand for the cow. But no party stands for cows. So, instead of voting for any particular party, we'll vote for only that candidate who will stand for cows. We will do the same in the Bihar elections too. We have said that one candidate per Assembly constituency will stand for cows and we will issue a list too...' Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj said. Speaking about the placement of boards on shops during the Kanwar Yatra, the Shankaracharya expressed his views on the religious significance of such practices. He emphasised that any individual willing to follow the dharma and take 'diksha' (initiation) for rituals should be allowed to undertake the Kanwar Yatra. He also addressed concerns about the practice of selling raw materials during the yatra, stating that, as per 'dharma shashtra', the purchase of raw materials is not considered unholy. 'We were asked our views on putting up boards (mentioning details of shopkeeper/staff) on shops during Kanwar Yatra last year...I said that if you ask me from a religious point of view, I would like to say that any individual who is willing to follow dharma, who takes 'diksha' for any ritual that they would undertake the Kanwar Yatra, they adopt some rules - that they would go barefoot, consume just fruits, have just one meal a day, wear just a particular set of clothes, follow celibacy, not lie and so on. There is a rule for sacred food too, which says that there is no provision for buying cooked food in Sanatan Dharma; this is a Western culture where we buy cooked food. In our culture, cooked food is neither sold nor purchased. Raw material can be bought and sold. Purchasing raw material from anyone has not been considered unholy in our 'dharma shastra',' he added. Meanwhile, Bihar elections are expected to be held later this year in October or November; however, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date. Months ahead of the elections, the battle has been intensifying between the grand alliance, Mahagathbandhan, led by the RJD and Congress, and the ruling NDA, which includes the BJP, JDU, LJP (Ram Vilas), and HAM.

‘Ashamed as Sanatanis…': Dhaka Hindus grief-stricken over Durga Temple demolition, say ‘have no other place of worship'

Bangladesh locals were struck with grief after a Durga temple in Dhaka's Khilkhet, was demolished on Thursday, June 27. Stating that 'as Sanatanis' they 'were very ashamed' that their place of worship had been destroyed, one person on Friday, told reporters that Hindus in that region 'have no other place of worship.' 'We are very ashamed as Sanatanis that our place of worship has been demolished in such a way. All of us are hurt. We would want the government to build this temple at a designated place, so that Hindus can pray…This is my request to the Government,' a local, named Prasenjit Chandra Das told news wire ANI. Bangladesh Railway authorities on Thursday demolished a makeshift Durga temple in Khilkhet, citing illegal construction on railway land. Visuals from the demolition site Members of the temple committee alleged that a mob of over 500 people with sticks, took position in the temple while the worshippers were staying in the temple at about 9 pm (local time) on Monday, Bangladesh-based newspaper New Age reported. They alleged that the railway authorities only demolished the temple while all other establishments remained untouched. One local, however claimed that the idol of goddess Durga was demolished too, reported ANI. Standing at the site of demolition — strewn with the remains of the temple, wooden platforms – Prasenjit Chandra Das said that the Hindus of the region have no other place of worship after the Durga Temple, including the Goddess's idol was demolished. 'Fine, I accept that it must be the railways' plot, but to demolish even the idol of the Goddess along with the structure is not acceptable to me. If the government wanted, it could have removed the idol before demolishing the structure, but everyone noticed it when it was demolished along with the idol,' the local told ANI. Another local was in tears, as she condemned the demolition, stating that she 'was speechless' over the incident. Officials stated that the temple — Khilkhet Sarbojanin Shri Shri Durga Mandir — was built without permission on government property, reported ANI. The action came three days after a mob had demanded the temple's removal. Speaking to New Age, Bangladesh Railway's Dhaka divisional estate officer Md Nasir Uddin Mahmud said that a number of establishments were built on the railway's land illegally and they came to know regarding the makeshift temple on Monday, June 23, reported ANI. Minority groups formed a human chain in Bangladesh's Shahbagh on Friday to protest against the demolition of the Durga Temple. Speaking to ANI, Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council's Acting General Secretary Manindra Kumar Nath said that another protest will be held in front of the Dhaka Press Club tomorrow, June 28.
