Magha Krushna paksha 8, Kaliyug Varsh 5116
Few examples of rulers from all parties, detaining Hindu Saints in prison for many years, under false accusations :
1. In the year 1971, Sri Sri Anandmurty (Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar) the Founder of ‘Anand Marg Sampradaya’ had to undergo imprisonment for 7 years under false accusation of murder of devotees from his own Sect. Police had used plastic skulls to implicate him in accusation of murder.
2. In the year 2002, Gupte Maharaj, a disciple of Chile Maharaj was detained in police custody due to false complaints lodged by ANiS members.
3. In the year 2004, Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati of Kanchi Kamkoti Peetha was in prison for 2 months under false accusation of murder.
4. In the year 2006, H. H. Todkar Maharaj from Kolhapur was detained in police custody for a day implicated in so-called case of molestation.
5. Sadhvi Pradnya Singh has been languishing in jail for 7 years from 2008 waiting for Court verdict; so also Swami Asimananda, for 4 years.
6. H. H. Asaramji Bapu has been detained in prison since 2013 by not disposing of the case filed against him.
7. In the year 2013, Ishwarbuva Ramdasi from Vita, Sangali was also detained in police custody for a day, under accusation of molestation.
Has any political party taken action against a non-Hindu Saint although such things have happened in case of Hindu Saints ?
The only way to stop injustice done to Hindu Saints on permanent basis, is establishment of Hindu Rashtra !’
