Tamil Culture...!!!!!

I don’t hate god/gods. I can’t hate something which doesn’t even exist. Even though, I have recently come to even hate the 'idea' of a creatonist god/gods, what I hate even more are the priests and preachers who claim to be the agents of god/gods. These are the ones that deceit people, make them stupid, and not let the people think for themselves. Well. for one, there's so much to be gained from stupid people who 'believe, but don't think': power, money, control, et al. So, its understandable, that these priests/preachers would do anything to have the people under their spell.

But, there are two different sets of priests/preachers. One kind, where they themselves believe sincerely what they preach. People like, Gandhi, Richard Harris, Vivekananda, Ramana, Osho (initially at least), to name a very few (well, I don't know much). I disagree with them on many accounts. But, I don't hate them. In fact, Gandhi is one of my favourite personalities.

But, I hate people like these scandal happy guru's who do what they do, for the only reason - to exploit people. I hate them so much, and the idiots who follow them blindly.

But, the recent set of events has made me laugh like anything. Here's a male guru, who goes to bed with a woman, and someone films them and posts on the media all over. If anything, its a serious case of "breach of privacy". I think, Ms.Ranjitha should at least sue the media for "breach of privacy"(assuming she is not the one who filmed this and gave them to media). What did she do wrong? Even if you take into account this male guru, who calls himself "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" and his preachings of celibacy, and control of mind over material pleasures and the hypocritical deed of breaking those himself; there is nothing wrong in what Ms.Ranjitha did. Why does she need to be treated like trash? And why mention her as 'actress' every time the media notes it. They (media) are giving the impression that, going to bed with a divorced ex-actress is more sinful than it would have been with anyone else.

And, the following riots are plainly stupid. It simply shows that people haven't learned anything from the past. And, what is this cry over "Tamil Culture"? I don't know what Tamil Culture is! These are the same people who voted for a guy, who had gone to bed with more than one woman, to be their chief minister, And, lakhs of Taxpayers' money is wasted on security and travel costs for every time he travels from one wife's house to other wife's. Maybe, they voted him, because the other choices were even worse according to Tamil Culture...!!!!

Mac... I agree with you. In recent days more number of such Guru incidents, but unfortunately double the amount of followers of guru.

Anyway nice one.

Most sensible comment I have ever seen in this issue. You got the pulse what exactly youngsters are thinking nowadays. As far as the media and mediocre of gods are keeping the people mentally weak........this will continue. But all these media will become dumbs....after a decade where we have educated all over the country. Just wait.
