Question: In 2004, Shankaracharya of Kanchi was arrested and charged with murder. To protest against his arrest, Muslims and Hindus were united in marching. Some Hindu monks say there is fear of 'trial by media'. 1) Behind the case of Shakaracharya's arrest, are there any politicians' conspirances to get their own benefits using police force, as with the case of Swami Premananda ? 2) And furthermore, behind this sequence of plots against spiritual persons, is there the force of the so-called Black Lodge ? 3) Are the targets mainly Hindu spiritual leaders, because Maitreya is now teaching in Hindu temples in London ?
Answer by Benjamin Creme: (1) Yes. (2) No. (3) No. The attacks on spiritual leaders in India come from secular, right-wing groups who belive they are creating a 'modern' India no longer being influenced by 'superstition and religious corruption', which, they belive, has held India back in the past.
