Concept of spirituality must be redefined

19 June, 2011

Could Satya Sai baba and his kingdom of gold, silver, diamonds and millions and millions of currency notes, spread over 167 countries, give the pious massage of peace and spirituality to the masses??

TODAY, THERE are more than 30 crore people in India, who cannot afford a proper meal per day. India ranks amongst the top at the global level when it comes to fighting hunger, poverty and farmers suicides. The recovered huge amount of money from Sataysai baba’s temple could have been used in a better manner instead of being preserved in possession of the baba. How can the conscious of donors allow them to donate to the so called charismatic babas and Sadhus, when a large population of the country is starving?

Due to lack of honest efforts in earning money, people in India as well as those living abroad always want to donate their spared money for fairly good causes, which usually lack a transparent system. Although babas like Satyasai utilize a part of the donated money for charitable causes the rest is hoarded. However, this small effort is enough to impress the people, and in fact even those who donate money earn a good name.
Due to blind faith in dignitaries and Babas, our poor public is simply misguided. Today resentful masses in search of peace take shelter at various places of religion. Instead of going to unknown places they prefer to go to those run by famous Sadhus of the society.
Since masses only believe in what they see, sadhus and babas manage to expand their empire of wealth to new levels, while doing very little for the poor. Now that this huge treasure owned by Satyasai has been discovered and taken possession of by the government, it is moral duty of the concerned authority to use this money for pious causes. The BPL category people, poor farmers and other deprived classes should be given attention and paid some annuity from this undiscovered money in order to help them improve their situation.
