BURGEONING GURUS IN 'GOD' MARKET ;
21ST CENTURY GURUS;THE OCHRE-ROBED SOCIAL PARASITES !
Despite the influences of the scientific progress and the consequent changed values of life,outlook of the majority segment of society remains by and large the same.It is beyond any logic or comprehension,how vast majority of highly educated beneficiaries of modern science and technology continue to believe in supernatural powers supposedly embodied in Gurus ,who are peddlers of 21st century spiritualism ?It is ironical that gullible and credulous followers still believe that their all problems and miseries are the outcome of their wrong doings in an 'earlier life' and real happiness does not lie in worldly matters but in spiritualism and meditation.This personality disorder and inferiority complex has been greatly exploited since time immemorial by the unscrupulous masquerading in religious garbs. Majority segment of superstitious people of India Whose superstitious beliefs border on ludicrousness and absurdity are being exploited to the hilt in a variety of ways by a horde of Gurus,who publicize themselves as sole authorised middlemen of 'god'.These Godmen are manifesting themselves physically in myriad hideous and funny ways.If they are lined up an amusing comical spectacle of people taking part in funny fancy dress competition will have into view.Some of them have matted locks covering their scalps and beards flowing up to their knees,some covering their bodies with flowing pink or black gowns,some clad only in loincloths [some of them prefer natural birth suit] and so forth. Virtually mesmerized by spacious sophistry of modern day Gurus,credulous believers surrender almost in totality to self styled godmen, on the presumption that being authorized agents of 'god',they are capable of warding off their respective sorrows and pain .
Some friends may say that there are genuine Gurus too. Any way the job of verifying the genuineness of the Gurus is tremendous one. Even Swami Dayanand Saraswati wrote in this aspect that he was disillusioned many times before he was able to find his Guru Virjanand.
The 'holy' books of the Hindus,the Shastras and the Puranas-all constitute towards the creation,maintenance and fattening of the tribe of the Gurus at the expense of the common man who toils incessantly and pours his hard earned money into the laps of these social parasites,The writers and compilers of these scriptures themselves belonged to the class of social parasites and they saw to it that the class interests of their class was safeguarded for generations to come and accordingly hypothesis of spiritualism,salvation and mukti was established .
It will be very relevant to quote here Brihaspati,Guru of ancient rationalism :-
na swargho,na apvargho va,na aiv aatma paarlokika;na aiv varan ashram aadinam kriyashch phaldayika;agnihotram,trayo vedasya tri dhandam,bhasam ghuntham;budhi poorsh hinanam jeevika dhatr nirmita [BRAHASPAT SUTRA]. Exposition:-There is no heaven,no final liberation, nor any soul in the other world,nor do the faith of caste prejudice produce any genuine effect.The agnihotra [the ceremony of offering oblations to the consecrated fire],the three Vedas,the ascetics 3 staves and smearing one's self with ashes-all such rituals have been established as livelihood by ancestors of all those who are destitute of knowledge and manliness.
