The Iskcon temple in Mayapur Krishnagar, Dec. 7: The CPM in Nadia has described Iskcon (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) as a %u201Cmajor threat%u201D to communists.
A document published on the occasion of the recent district party conference says Iskcon helps %u201Ccommunal forces%u201D like %u201Cthe RSS and the BJP%u201D.
The Congress has been ac-cused of %u201Chobnobbing%u201D with the religious group headquartered in Nabadwip, 100km from Calcutta, for support.
%u201COrganisations like the RSS and some NGOs are fanning communal passions in the district,%u201D says the document drafted by CPM district secre-tary Ashu Ghosh.

Ramesh Das, the Iskcon publicity manager, wondered %u201Cwhy the CPM has branded us like this after ruling the state for 30-odd years%u201D.
He said several communist leaders like politburo member Sitaram Yechury and Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar have not only visited its temples but also stayed over. %u201CWe were delighted to host them.%u201D
Das added: %u201CWe want to convey for their (the CPM%u2019s) information that we have devotees from all walks of life and from all over the world.%u201D
The CPM denied the claim about its leaders staying there. %u201CI%u2019ve never heard of it,%u201D said veteran leader Benoy Konar.
The Nadia CPM had earlier accused Iskcon of acquiring around 500 acres in Mayapur in the name of small NGOs to bypass the land ceiling law. Acting on its report, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee asked his land minister to conduct a probe.
Minister Abdur Rezzak Mollah came to Nadia for the inquiry, following which the government shot down the proposal for a Rs 500-crore vedic village planned by Iskcon devotee and Henry Ford%u2019s grandson Alfred Ford.
The latest document, distributed among senior leaders of the district during the November 30-December 2 conference, says Iskcon has become an %u201Cagent of the Congress, Trinamul Congress and the BJP%u201D.
%u201CIt has established itself as a major force against communists here.%u201D
Party sources said the conference discussed the issue in the presence of state secretary Biman Bose and industries minister Nirupam Sen.
First this fake intellectual throws Taslima out of his state for having hurt the sentiments of the Indians and then he and that union goonda leader Gurudas Das Gupta advises her to consider the sentiments of Indians if she has o stay in India. Now this mad old man along with his goonda leader goes on to question the existence of Lord Ram. no one has yet proven that Ram, Allah or any other God exists. will this unenlightened Buddha ever speak against Allah or any other religion? the answer is a simple fat no! waiting for more quotes fromthis grumpy old man as the skeletons are coming out in Nandigram! these Chinese spies are truly the scum of the earth, they are even more dangerous than terrorists.
Hanuman Saw 8 Constellations while flying to Lanka%u2026
In the Sunderkand, when Valmiki describes Hanuman crossing the sea and returning from Lanka to Rameshwaram, he gives details of 8 constellations. Usually, one can see not more than 6 constellations at a given point of time. But since Hanuman was flying across, and it must have taken him approximately 4 hrs to get there, he could see 8 constellations - in two hours one constellation would have moved out of sight and another become visible. So, in a period of 4 hrs he saw 8 constellations!
Historicising Shri Ram. Man or God%u2026
After researching on Shri Ram, I do believe he's a man who walked the earth in flesh and blood. There is an essential difference between the Valmiki Ramayana and the Tulsi Ramayana. Tulsidas was a devotee who looked up to Ram, but Valmiki was a contemporary. Valmiki has written Ram's life-history, as a biographer does - he's a contemporary of Ram, and this is not very different from what happens all over the world. Kings have always had their life-history written
"Ram was and is for real. He was born on January 10, 5114 BC," Saroj Bala, IRS, Commisioner of Income Tax says, calmly, with the assurance of one who has tangible facts.
Taking on the contemporary historical interpretation of Ramayana as a religio-literary text, and Lord Ram as a semi-mythical figure, is this unassuming person who zealously devotes her spare time to research in histor
