What is the AP government doing when an idol of Lord Ram was beheaded at the famed Ramatheertham temple in Vizianagaram? Why no security has been provided to the idols in the shrine? These were some of the questions put forward by the noted spiritual leader Chinna Jeeyar Swamy.
Have they been asleep?
The spiritual leader strongly criticised the lapse in security over the incident, adding that security personnel are paid salaries to make sure no untoward incidents like these happen. What happened to them? Have they been asleep?
It’s our responsibility to protect
The spiritual leader lashed out at those who say, what can be done if God’s cannot protect themselves. He said that God’s attained the form of idols in order to protect us, as every organism that moves will pass away. By staying in an immovable form, he has come to live among us and fulfil all our wishes and to protect us. In such a scenario, the onus is definitely on us to protect the idol of Gods. When a guest arrives to stay in our house, their well-being is our responsibility. In a similar way, we have a protection system to ensure that the law and order are maintained. If a person fails in his responsibility then he is supposed to be held accountable.
The statements made by the spiritual leader has turned into a topic of discussion in the state.
