VHP leader, Lakshmananda Saraswati, and 4 others killed by Naxals in Orissa

Lakshmananda SaraswatiNew Delhi: In a daring attack, suspected Naxals attacked an ashram run by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Kandhamal district of Orissa and killed five people on Friday night.

VHP leader and the chief of the ashram, Lakshmananda Saraswati, was among those killed.

Ashram sources say Saraswati had reportedly received a threatening letter from the Naxals on Friday morning.

In January 2008, violence had erupted in Kandhamal after Christian missionaries were attacked allegedly by Hindu groups.
Saraswati had been a prominent force in the Hindu camp at that time. (Click Here to Read the truth about Christian Conversion in Orissa.)

Though police were not willing to reveal much for the fear of a communal backlash, DGP (Orissa), GC Nanda, told news agencies an alert has been sounded in Kandhamal and additional police forces have been rushed to the spot.

"I have received reports of five deaths. However, I have to re-check before confirming the death of Saraswati," Nanda told PTI.

However, according to Subhash Chouhan, the national convenor of Bajrang Dal, Saraswati was among the five persons killed in the incident.

The victims include two inmates of the ashram, Chouhan said.

The incident took place at Laxmananda's kanyashram at Tumudibandh, about 100 km from Phulbani, the district headquarters of Kandhmal district.

Red terror rewind

On July 16, at least 17 police officials died when a landmine planted by Naxals exploded in Orissa’s Malkangiri district, some 600 km south of state capital Bhubaneshwar.

Special Operations Group members were travelling in a van on the Kalimela-Motu road when the landmine exploded under them. Two of the dead were police inspectors. The first reports from the spot had put the number of dead at 24.

On the same day, Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta held a meeting with chief secretaries and police chiefs of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa to review the Maoist situation.

Gupta said the meeting reviewed the progress of implementation of the integrated action plans aimed at curbing Maoist influence in these states.

“In overall terms, visible improvement has been seen in various parameters relating to the security situation in the Naxal-affected states this year as compared to last year barring a few major incidents,” Gupta told reporters after the meeting.

But by naxals is wrong as it's being deliberately published & propagated by the so called secular media. it's pity that this page is also biased by that frenzy. the fact is that he is murdered by the christian millitants getting both moral & financial support from the sonia maino group.

Christian Evangelist forces

Christian Evangelist forces murdered this grand old lion.

He was at the forefront of stopping the evangelist forces turning orissa into another Nagaland, by offering resistance to thier nefarious scheme of converting the poor and illiterate tribals,a cultural aggression.

Its a poor smokescreen colluding with naxals to avoid Hindu backlash.

Sedate Hindus and seditive antihindu media think they can get away with this atrocity by blacking out and twisting the story.

Fearing that the next government could be a BJP lead one, and the brave old swamijis efforts in that event would become a threat to christianising the tribal belt, this most shameful and audacious murder had been commited.

Hindu civilians and sadhus are shedding their blood while demoniacal mass murderers go unconvicted.The shameful fifth coloumn of secularist media provides sanctuary by intimidating police and security forces from searching muslim areas, immunity from prosecution and even execution by springing in defense of Afsal gurus, while this murderous creeds and its mercenaries cut down hindu acitivists and sadhus.

The time has come for hindus to organise a hagganah, for the Israelis have demonstrated that retaliation is the only deterrent,vigilant and swift action for every crime perpetrated against the innocents, and against the hindu society.

Only madmen would call that communal or sectarian,when christian evangelism,communism and rabid islamic fudamentalism sheltered and immune to scrutiny by a hinduphobic media go about commiting atrocity after atrocity.

The worth hindu public attach to opinions of secularvadi media was there to see in gujarat elections,still they go about this hiding the dirty linen business,tarnishing hindu movements and instigating hatred for hindus and the motherland by presenting onesided distorted truth of every happening.

They will have to then face the consequence of an unprecedented outburst of hindu wrath at some point when this nonesense can nolonger be hidden under the carpet and though they might be easy with all this blood already in thier hand, will be held by history as most unbecoming of traitors like the nazi collaborators.

The Sikh religion and the Khalsa was the ultimate outcome such long and unending tale of atrocities.

If they continue like this,it will lead to a more militant and complete response from the Hindu sikh peoples , taking cue from the israelis.

The secular morons believe they can subvert and crush such an uprising ,by marginalising the organised hindu protest , but forget that the average hindu and sardarji in the street and in private is already brimming with reaction of rightful anger as every atrocity after atrocity unfolds.

Swami laksmanandas murder will not be and should not be forgotten.
We will remember him in every gathering of hindus in every sacred place as a brave old lion that fought for the freedom of faith of tribals who were being robbed of their cultural heritage and converted to a discredited creed of the west and a martyr in defense of dharma.

It is very disheartening to

It is very disheartening to see that Christians are attacked, yet it is not at all surprising to witness such hostility towards Christians since History is witness to this phenomenon all through the ages. Lord Jesus, when He was hanging on the cross said a prayer that His oppressor may be forgiven. Every true Christian will echo the same sentence for those who misunderstand and misinterpret Christian faith and values.

The murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati is strongly condemned, but as the violence is spreading like wild fire and the Churches are burnt, Christians are attacked and even killed, is more unfortunate for our a democratic, republic country like ours. Past through the centuries Christians are known as the peace loving, forgiving people. Many educational institutions are run by mission organisations and it can not be denied that the missionaries have toiled hard to lay the foundation of many of today’s great leaders. Many Mission hospitals have provided love and care. The world is witness to the sacrificial life of Mother Teresa in serving the poor in Kolkata. How the nation could forget all these? If Christian wanted violence then they could have reacted when the Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two children were burnt alive. When the Press asked his wife Mrs. Staines that what punishment you think for them who killed your husband and children, she boldly uttered the Word of Jesus saying, “I forgive them”. Any one who has read the Bible and the teachings of Jesus, would accept that Jesus never taught violence rather He said ‘love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you’ (Matthew 5:44).

If we look at history, we would know that Jesus never wanted to start a religion called ‘Christianity’ rather He said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life’ (John14:6), so any one can follow the Way of Jesus, obey the teachings of Jesus and accept Him as his/her Lord. This person can be then called Christian. Please note that the person who is born in a Christian family can not be called a Christian until he/she gives the Lordship to Jesus Christ. Therefore there are many so called Christians who may not be Christians truly but in their ignorance they do certain things for which the whole Christian community is suffering today in Orissa. Looking to the history we would know that there are no such words like Christian Terrorist or Extremists.

Let the thinkers wake up, come forward and help the nation towards peace. Yes, I am also a Christian and I am proud to say that I am an Indian Christian. I have the same love for my country and I too have a patriotic spirit within me just as others have. Why allow the seed of hatred to divide us and make us weak, rather let’s join our hands and heart together to build the nation. Please take steps to stop the attack on Christians in Orissa or in different parts of our country.

Hindus have to stop reacting

Hindus have to stop reacting and start working on a comprehensive strategy. Unfortunately RSS is sleeping or busy reacting. My strong and sincere suggestion to RSS is lease understand the problem and read what Sun Zu had said ""Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never peril" - Sun Tzu

Once we start realizing that the problem is because RSS being the only organization is not worrking with a proper strategy. We are loosing because we don't have any strategists

Christian Plan They have

Christian Plan

They have published bibles with Indian characters to attract and convert more and more people.
They are going to increase their conversion program manifold and we need to be ready to counter it and stop it.
They know how be on the good side of the media and show themselves as the victims instead of the aggresors.

Hindu Plan of Action

1. We need to use the media tactfully so that the public knows what they are upto and who the real culprit is.

2. We need to constantly bring their activities in public light, when the light shines the cockroaches run away.

3. They can only act freely if their activities are not made public, like they did in the Northeast, constant public attention will freeze them in their tracks.

4. They are not going to stop their activities, so a defensive posture will result constant increase in the christian convert population.

5. We need to aggresive convert christians into hindus, even if they are christians for many generations (if they can convert people who have been hindus for thousands of years, we can convert not only recent converts but christians who were converted 400 years ago)

6. Northeast, Kerala,TamilNadu, AndhraPradesh, Orrisa, should be places of action as these are the places where the missionaries have a foothold and are spreading elsewhere.

7. Swami Vivekananda has done a tremendous job in explaining hinduism and Vedas in English, his thousand of booklets should be distributed among the christians as English is their prime medium of study.

8. Also our tribals and other poor population should be educated and Vedas and Swamiji's books should be distributed to them so that they know the basics of Hinduism and are able to defend Hinduism when missionaries approach them.

9. Setup schools, colleges, hospitals and societies like Red trident(like red cross and red crescent) so that christian hold on all these fields is destroyed.

10. If we do not change our approach towards this onslaught of christianity which is backed by Vatican(Catholic) and the US + Britain(Protestant) then Hinduism in India will suffer the fate of Hinduism in Indonesia which is only practised in the island of Bali.

Look at the history of

Look at the history of christianity in Rome, how they destroyed the multicultarism of Rome, how they broke the noses and hands of greek statues, how they destroyed other religions of europe, how they killed en mass during the inquisitions in Europe and in Goa. how they destroyed and killed Native Indians of America. Now they are destroying buddhism and harassing buddhists in South Korea. The NLFT in Tripura and NSCN-IM of Nagaland are terrorists murdering and converting hindus in their areas. But just like Islamists, they christians deny everything and play the victim card by laying the blame on the very persons they oppress. No wonder Christianity is hated in Europe and losing its allure in the Americas.

Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa

Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa had said that other than the Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism), all other religions shall disappear just as they appeared. Swami Vivekananda had predicted in the 1890's that the Abrahamic religions shall disappear in around 300 years. Just like his other prediction unfolds, that Russia shall rise first, then China and then finally India and India shall take centre stage in the world in 400 years and shall surpass its past greatness, we shall see his first prediction unfold and shall have to do the work to destroy the political movements in religious clothings like Christianity and Islam in India.

Art.25 of our constitution

Art.25 of our constitution does not give any special right to christians as minorities to convert others into their religion. The fundamental right under this article is available to all equally subject to public order morality and health. They have speecial right only to establish and aminister educational institutions of their choice under Art.30. So this nonsence of conversions must be stoped immediately or, agressive reconversions started throughout India to protect hindus from destruction.
