    My observation ---- Irony is that in the west, structures like churches are sold to Muslims or Hindus at a high price to change them into their worshipping place. West is turning into atheism, and the immigrants children turning into atheism later on. NOW who are Hindus and Muslims selling these structures to? There will be no buyers or sell cheap. In one sense for churches it's right time to sell at high price.

    Hey one sided religion lover swami did you asked Indian gov to investigate church attack and attack on Christians wrongly labelled them as conversion? First clean your house first before you plea for other nations. Western countries are safest for all religions to profess thier faith without political interference and religious leaders interfering. It is a shame on you for asking Australian govt for protection. Everyone is safer in Christian nations unless people create thier own problems and blame govt Did you checked how many attacks are taking place on daily basis on Christians in India just being a peace loving people and charity works done for your own Hindus families . Go first figure out all attacks on Christian’s and talk to government authorities in India to stop such attacks on Christians

    Viv ek. Indians know collect and keep for future generation of thier wealth but when it comes for charity work asking for Christians to do it . That is the fate. Next this swami worried temples in Australia but failed to address chucrch attacks in India. Only called conversion than address real issues. What a shame on people. Hypocrite s. I totally understand we all need to stand up for any attacks on worshipers or worship places that includes in India as well .

    A swamiji openly advised not to offer money to temples, instead help the poor. Don't transfer your penance to temples and then lament when the taxable amount is taken by government.

    Why Swamiji you are requesting them to protect your temples. They definitely protect all the religious houses unlike our India. Everything is divided based on communities and spewed venom among all religions. Kalladaka bhat ji/Muthalik ji/pragya ji etc speak very very ill about other religions....Any say about this ??

    Culprit Dawood Ibrahim Ansari, who allegedly vandalised at least 18 crosses and other structures at the St. Michael's Church early Saturday morning. Being a professor does not mean you generalize an act.. Be specific and have courage to point out to your peaceul brothers

    It’s proven that the person who vandalised the crosses in Mahim Church was mentally challenged. Your Swamiji should tell the ruling dispensation in the state and center to protect “ All places of Worship “ not just “ Hindu Temples “ that’s what a educated and good Swami, Priest or Mullah should do.

    Any place of worship is divine and must be respected... These must be sporadic incidents and may not have a organized gang behind them... However the temples must not become soft targets... Good that Swamiji spoke his mind to the minister... He must talk to our ministers also to protect places of worship of minorities in India...

    Sadly Swamiji remains silent if there are attacks on Churches or Mosques. He is concerned only about hindu temples in foreign countries. Places of worship need to be protected at any cost. What is happening in India is church or mosque attacks are sponsored by fringe associations affiliated to BJP.
