Gods must be crazy Part II

Wahoo Hoo I am a soothsayer. I write an article about shitty god men and one of the shittiest is arrested a few days later.
A true first person account of Jayendra Saraswati (Swami?). Two years ago I was in Kanchipuram and I had the misfortune to meet Jayendra Saraswati. His room is a basic no frills affair. The only thing out of place was a packet of Gold Flake Filter Cigarettes and a couple of empty bottles of liquor. I kid you not; I don’t have a reason to. One can reason that the cigarettes and liquor were left behind by someone else, but when was the last time a celebrities room was invaded by ordinary folks and trashed by them. Thus it stands to reason that either the holy man got holy drunk or someone close to him found the abode of the swami an ideal place to get holy drunk.
A sanyasi by its very definition is a person who has given up all worldly things and seeks nirvana. Why would such a person bother about Ram Temple, Hindu upliftment or press meets? Jayendra Saraswati has an opinion on everything including global warming and Italian-Indian Prime ministers. Is he versatile or what?
Question: When was the last time a Sankarachariar tried to meddle in politics?
Answer: Never.
In a recent function the president of India was standing while the Kanchi mutt (sic) sits down and hands out an award to him. When Abdul Kalam is considered a lesser person than a psychotic murderer, it is time for reflection and ass kicking. So we reflected and the police kicked ass. What a fitting end to an asshole beyond description. Bringing disrepute to a 2500-year-old organization was not enough for our ‘enlightened’ being. He went on a killing spree to cover his misdeeds. Some might argue that the jury is still deliberating the moron’s guilt. The police force is not suicidal enough to arrest such a high profile person without adequate proof of his involvement.
Religion is a personal issue. If you begin to look for guidance from humans it has to be the right kind of person. How do you identify the right person? You can’t. So you keep religion personal and find you own damn road to enlightenment. Don’t expect a chauffeur for that particular drive. Nine out of ten times you will find that your driver took you on the wrong road and he’s about to be busted for driving without a license. By the time you are enlightened to that fact, you’ve already wasted your life.
