his is a true incident happened at Guruvayur last year.
A number of aged and orphaned devotees live in the vicinity of the Guruvayur temple. They eat the prasad of the Lord, sing bhajans all through the day and lie down at Melapathur Auditorium in front of the temple. Their life is totally immersed in the Lord. On August 8 2006, out of blue and like a Tsunami, Pastor C.L. Jacob of Emmanuel centre, Palayur, and a group of Christian ruffians came in two ambulances and started evicting 16 odd aged devotees and forcing them into the ambulances. The aged persons including women, who have been in the service of Lord Guruvayurappan for three to four decades ,resisted the move to leave the temple and appealed to the Lord for help. They knew that the evil design of Pastor Jacob was to convert the entire group to Christianity. Local people rushed to the scene, finally could save them from this evil priest. On seeing this the Christian ruffians backtracked. By then the local Sub-Inspector Premanand arrived. He ordered the Pastor and the group to go away and released the hapless devotees.
But the soul-harvesting drama had its causality. 70-year-old Sundaram died of suffocation and cardiac arrest due to the pushing and pulling by the Christian goondas. Also 65-year-old Ammini committed suicide due to the fear psycosis and threat of future conversion. She had %u2018Vaka Charthu%u2019 darshan of Krishna on 12th, listened to the %u2018Lalitha Sahsarnama%u2019 archana, had lunch at the temple and jumped

I know Christians cook up stories to convert people, now I have seen proof of the RSS walas doing the same! Thank you for your message.

What Gopa Kumar stated was widely reported in the malayalam newspapers,i.e.about the attempt to kidnap the old people by the christist group.The Emmanuel Mission is a notorious christist organization,which is involved in denigrating Hinduism to spread their own hate-filled ideology.That was the reason why they were resisted in many places.Those people-the christists, do more harm to christianity than anyone else.

If what you are saying is true then the kidnappers need to be put in jail, since kidnapping is a punishable office as per the law of any civilized country. Religion may permit it but morality and ethics doesn't permit it. Morality, ethics, justice and truth is bigger than religion. The God is not the truth, the truth is the God.

Kumar, you are a converted christian - that is evident, despite your declaration that you are hindu. Many christians parade around as hindus, trying to sow discord among hindus, and condemn hinduism under various pretenses. THe very fact you claim (blissful) ignorance of the extent to which christianity and christians harass hindus clearly shows your ill-intent. I'd suggest you reform christianity first, and let the hindus take care of their own problems. Part of the problem in hinduism IS christian meddling.

Vas there was another guy in these message board who last week suggested that I am a Muslim because I don't agree with the BJP wallas view. This week, I am being called a Christian. When are you people going to wake up and see the morning? End caste system now to save India. The clock is tickling and India is short on time.

I think it is wrong to make baseless personal allegations/accusations/speculations instead of discussing the issue raised by anybody.

Kumar, though its not my place, I wish to tell you to hang on to your present attitude. You don't have to become the devil to beat the devil. We need more people who abuse less and discuss more. And don't call me sir. It makes me feel old.

Sarath Chandra thank you for your concern. Don't worry, I will hang on with my present attitude since I feel I have arrived at my conclusions after deep thoughts and concerns regarding the lack of ethics, morality, empathy and justice in the Indian society.
