This was a well planned murder of the swami by the Bajrang Dal and VHP with their masters from BJP, they both needed a reason to target the christian community so that they could put an end to christianity in Orissa.

Let me remind what happened few years back in Orissa the same incident what is happening now and then there was a severe flood and many people died next was Gujarat there too many churches burnt and then there was earthquake. So this time the floods will completely wipe out the human race in Orissa.

Burning and Killing seems to be quite amusing to Togadia and Sami. I have not heard or read of any religion which tells kill your mothers and sisters, fathers and brothers. Rightwing desire for power at the centre has been driving them to such acts of heroism over helpless, defenceless, powerless Tribals and Christians who are tought to show the other cheek to be slapped...

The wrath of the all powerful knows no boundaries and is very precise. He who does not honour his little children, brothers and sisters will have a Tragic end... And we have seen these sayings coming true in History and even in very recent times..... The states where attrocities were committed were cleaned by mother nature.... Let us pray that Poor and helpless people again do not become unsuspecting targets of the fury of nature.... Nature takes care of its own...

Mr. Donfrank Your information about the state of adivisis is correct. Mr. Satish needs to read distant and near history and learn about the adivisis. He can even visit any tribal area to find out what is the reality in the tribal regions.

Tribals are a nomadic lot whom the so called hindus did not want. They are like any tribe in africa, south america etc.. etc... They have been grossly neglected lot whose status is very confused in society. THEY ARE NOT HINDUS. THEIR WORHIP AND RELIGION IS SPIRITS AND NATURE, THE POWERS THAT THEY ARE IN TOUCH WITH. They live in the forests and have no source of any facilities from our INDIAN SO CALLED HINDU SATISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS. THEY DO NOT RESPECT OR EVEN FOR THAT MATTER THEY EVEN DO NOT CONSIDER THEM HUMAN BEINGS AND PART OF THE SOCIETY.

This is the true reality and status of the tribals. for over 100 years christian missionaries have opened HOSPITALS, OPENED SCHOOLS, OPENED TRAINING CENTRES, OPENED TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTRES. These are not conversion houses. If Mr. Satish and Togadia says they are conversion houses they are doomed to go to hell.

They have absolutely no idea what the LEPROCY CENTRES, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, CARE HOMES AND VARIOUS HUMAN SUPPORT CENTRES ARE DOING IN THE TRIBAL regions. It is better that Satish goes to any School or hospital to see what selfless, rewardless work these missionaries do in these regions. IT IS TRANSFORMATION OF THE LIVES OF THESE MARGINALISED TRIBAL PEOPLES and not convertion of religion.

Today the philosophy or the ideology is to make the people of what ever religion they may be TO HELP, EDUCATE AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE LIVE THEIR OWN RELIGION TRUELY AND FULLY. To help and educate Hindus to be True hindus, Muslims to be true muslims, Christians to be true muslims, sikhs to be true to their religion.

I think we have been successful in doing a lot of good But the Rightwing Hindu Fundamentalists like Togadia and Satish having no slightest idea of what is happening sit inside their homes having good income to support them resort to Criminal ideology like instigating poor unknowing followers into thinking and understanding that THEY KNOW ALL AND THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH.

It will be better for them to not air their uneducated and fundamental feelings out to destroy the clean fabric of INDIAN SOCIETY which has co-existed for so many years and now that education and healthcare has come to the remotest corners of the tribal lands where Satish and Togadia may not want to physically go, but will not hesitate commenting from inside their comfortable houses....

Mr. Togadia and Satish Go and meet serve (treat) and live with Lepers and TB patients and dying neglected lot of the so called tribals in tribal regions and YOU WILL KNOW WHO A TRIBAL IS AND WHAT A TRIBAL NEEDS... It is not a safron VOTEBANK we are talking about TRIBALS...

Mr. Satish, you are wrong. The adivasis and tribals had their own way of worship of spirits(like the animists of Africa) and they were not Hindus. We should make a study of their history. They were not forcibly converted to Christianity, but they liked the good work done by missionaries and became Christians. People who are against Christian religion, are jealous of the good work done by Christian priests and nuns.

If there were forcible conversions, the majority of Indians would have been Christians, as India was ruled by British for nearly 150 years. Why are we only les than 3& and Hindus are more than 75%? On the contrary, Hindu groups are forcibly converting the poor dalits and tribals into their relgion. No one talks ahout. This is the ground reality.

The network of VHP (World Hindu Council)and other Hindu fanatic groups is very strong and is funded by NRIs from all over the world. Please do not blame our Christian missionaries for the commuanl clashes in Orissa. Let there be a CBI inqueiry and truth will come out! Why Hindu faanatic groups are afraid of this? They know that these fanatic Hindu groups are the real CULPRITS and we pray that they will perish.

When Crooks try and play saints one is to think that the whole issue may be a making of the VHP/RSS ( Safron Brigade-powered by BJP). It may be that the Old horse has been shot down by the household so that a stage could be set for a major play ( human carnage) in the name of retaliation could be meted out to unsuspecting poor tribals and civilians.

It is only better for the Safron Brigade that a unbiased enquiry be carried out by the CBI and the respected courts so that no one can point fingers at our righteous safron brothers and their mentor government at the land.

Let us prove every one that it was not safron brigade who did the BURNING OF THE STAINES AND NOW THE BURNING OF HUNDREDS OF HOUSES OF POOR INDIANS. Let us give Mr. Sami and his guru Togadia a chance to prove their innocense at least for once.... If as Togadia says VHP is not involved let us all follow and join the safron party, but if it is found that The safron brigade with its affiliates and the state is involved in the Human sacrifice then let the safron brigade throw itself into the deapth of the ocean with millstoles tied to their necks where they never raise their head again on Indian shores.....

What really pains me is to see the passive reaction of our Government at the Centre to the violence, killings and burnings of our brothers and sisters in Orissa. It is really sad to know that our Home Minister is visiting orissa today to review the situation. What was he doing for 10 days when Orissa was burning? The prime Minister only said it is a National Shame. Power is given to the Government to uae it to maintain law and order wherever it is needed.

Why it is so silent? Have they forgotten their duty to save the country and it's people?Where are our leaders like Oscar Fernandes and Margaret Alva? Why to blame others when we have our own leaders who are so indifferent to such brutal violence? Our media and newspapers are interested in cricket players and fillm actors. Why they are hesitant to give us the detailed and true version of the violence in Orissa? All through my high school and college days I had very good Hindh and Muslims friends(infact they were my best friends).

Let us not blame all Hindus and Muslims. There are wonderful people among them. But condemn those people who poison the minds of innoecnt people to do such grave destructive acts. Our last hope is our Supreme Court. Only Supreme Court can save our nation. I have trust in our Supreme Court Judges.

The cold-blooded killing of 84-year-old Swami Lakshmanananda on the night of Janmashtami is a grim reminder of a deepening divide. In fact, this was the tenth attempt on the sadhu who had vigorously protested conversion. The last bid on December 24 triggered a wave of communal violence that took days to subside and that wound has not yet healed.

Widespread religious conversion is an unpleasant reality despite stringent laws enacted in the late Sixties. On Saturday, the ashram was celebrating Janmashtami, when around dinner time, a group of 30-40 armed assailants surrounded the place. Eyewitnesses said about four of the assailants carried AK-47s and many others had country made revolvers. Two of the four home guards stationed for security had gone to eat and only two of them were guarding the premises. The assailants tied down the two guards, and gagged them. They then sought out the Swamiji within the premises and opened fire on him. The recovered bullets show they were from an AK-47, the police said. The assailants then warned the guards not to raise an alarm and fled the scene. Within minutes of the reaching the crime scene, the district authorities made a statement saying it was suspected Maoists who killed the Swami.

The five attackers who the locals caught and handed over to the police are not Maoists. They are from the region. There is no reason why the Maoists will spare the policemen on duty. They would have killed them. Then, there are the leaflets that were thrown around the ashram in a very amateurish way. And last but not the least, we have never heard or seen Maoists wear masks and hoods.

If their Swami was killed by the Christians, why the Sang Parivar and the Orissa State Government is not ready for CBI investigation! The fanatic Hindu leaders are supported by many political parties, TV and media people and spread lies against the poor Christains.

Anil,

VHP doesn't believe in violence ?? Whats next - Adolf Hitler loved the jews ?? Put mankind first before anything else - that is the greatest religion. Its what some of the greatest people who walked this earth did whether it was Christ, Abraham Lincoln or Gandhi. We are Indians first irrespective of Religion, Caste and beliefs. Religion should be a personal issue and it should never come in the way of our Nationalist sentiments. Killing your own countrymen because of religion ??

We have turned even worst than animals. I firmly believe that one can belong to any religion and at the same time be a true patriot. The British divided the country on religious lines using their divide and rule policy - The communal forces in this country are doing exactly the same. Beleive me - over here there is no love for religion - Its only politics , politics and more politics. The true heroes in any country are few and they are the ones with forsight, intelligence, integrity and compassion and a country prospers only because of them. We owe our prosperity to them.

Lets pray that India also produces such heroes in the midst of all the hatred and antagonism that we live in. It reminds me of what Winston Churchill said after the battle of Britain while paying tribute to fallen soldiers. "Never in the history of the world have so many owed so much to so few" Jai Hind

The comments which are published here speaks volumes about the pent up frustration and hatred of certain people and their intolerance. The persons who are at the receiving end of violence are reaping the harvest of their own ill doing.

I don't know much about Mr. Togadia, but i like him for his Oratory skills, a great orator. Frankly speaking Mr. Togadia & Mr. Narendra Modi great orators in India, nobody can match them for their oratory skills.

History witnessed plenty of clashes. This is also one of those kind of volcano erupted after a mere compression.Why these people turned merciless animals ? There may be a clear reason.Individuals comment what they feel personally and show their anger .

When this kind of incident happened the administration always failed to take over that we witnessed in Gujarat,recently in Jammu-Kashmir.If the institutions,sacred places only spread education and teach harmony there will not be such incidents.Sure there may be something more than education.

I won't be surprised the vhp killed their own and old Swamiji as they knew this old swamiji is no good for them, at least his death will benifit for vhp/bd's interests. Otherwise why policemen did not fire back or arrest the killer, as Mr. Togadia the great clarifies the killers were not naxalites.

Then it is sure they were from vhp/bd group. Therefore, policemen did not shoot or arrest the VHP or BD members. How they can shoot their own people. Mr. Togadia,this is what you want to say to the public. Shame on you mr. togadia.

mr. togadia suffers identity crisis as modi was not generous enough to share the spoils of hate campaign in Gujrat with togadia. Now to prove his presence he has come down to Orissa to suck the blood of poor Christians in Orissa. Mr. George Fernandes is too old now to defend the rss and vhp. So togadia himself has to defend his parivar. togadia do all that you can and tell all the lies that are possible. Remember truth will prevail.

Mr. Togadia how much lies you tell in your life. The whole world knows who done this, let good God bless you & forgive you. There is a saying in kannada “ Madidunno Maraya” means you will eat what you cooked. So you Mr. Togadia you will get what you did.

Mr.Togadia is liar. He thinks he can fool all people at all times. Because of people like Togadia, there are communal clashes in the country today. Such people should be exiled because they are the people who spread hatred and violence.

Actually there was a major conspiracy created by the Congress to malign the present state Government of Orisaa. Indirectly Congress was involved in the riots, also we cannot rule out VHP role too, but it has been exploited by the Congress upto this level, since Congress party too includes cadres of VHP , RSS & Bajrangdal.

It is foolery. Mr. Thogadia wants to fool all indians, but mind you thogadia they are not fools like you. You have done enough and more havoc to the country at large and to christians in particular. You are saying a total lie, you people of lie. God may enlighten your mind and heart to speak the truth not as concieved by you but the TRUTH inspired by god.

Very true Mr. Joe, well said....and Mr. Togadia you say that the policemen were there present when the bullets were sprayed, so my question is WHAT were your policemen doing then, how come they never sprayed their bullets on the murderers. How can u say they were christians?. Why did Swamiji say that he might be killed by the christians cos he was always attacking the christians??????

Mr. Praveen Togadia whom you are fooling.? When the entire Country knows that the VHP & Sangh Parivar are behind the mass destruction of the Christians in Orissa, why this wrong statement.

The emotions and sentiments of the locals has been used against each other in a well planned manner by the destructive brains. If you are honest to yourself, you could have given a call for stopping violence which you have not done. As you say the tribal land is forcibly used to construct the church, what are the law agency is doing.

You are unnecessarily blaming the Christian for the killing of Swamiji Laxmanananda. Pray that his soul rest in peace. This shows you are one among them to ignite communal violence. The Maoist have accepted that they are behind the killing. If you say police were present, here my straight forward question what the police men are doing? Why till now they could not identify the criminals. Why till now there was no sketch of the murderer.

I would not surprised they may bring few scapegoat to support your statement. IF Swamiji had expressed apprehensions that he might be killed by Christian community why the protection was not given ? This is sheer lie to satisfy the masses. Remember if it is truth even hundred people say it is lie, it is still truth and if it is lie, even hundred people say it is truth, still it is lie.

You can fool ignorant people but not yourself and you know what you say is right or wrong. One more straight forward question if Christians have killed Swamiji, then Hinduism will flourish in Orissa. But if they are innocent, Christianity will flourish in Orissa and this truth will going to happen and we all will be the witness. I pray that actual l truth will come out from darkness to light. God bless India.
