Dear Marshall, My reference was specific to the affidavit on the "asthi" of Swami Laxmananda. Others who were killed [by Maoists or otherwise] with him were cremated and therefore an "Asthi Kalash Yatra" is possible ... but NOT with the Swami's asthi. People do not get Ph. Ds and other "doctor" degrees for being stupid.
After the 02 June, 2007 Assembly election results, Manohar Parrikar said that the BJP will not attempt to form the Govt. because the people of Goa had not given the BJP a clear mandate. He never said the BJP would not try to topple the Congress-led coalition Govt. The first attempt came in July, 2007. Re-read the whole stuff. One has to read these guys between the lines. Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2008 16:27:32 +0530 From: "Marshall Mendonza" <[email protected]> Subject: [Goanet] .... has never been communal Message-ID: <[email protected]> Miguel Braganza: the "concerned" Bishop in Orissa even swore a affidavit wrongly stating that VHP leader Dr. Pravin Togadia had threatened an "Asti Kalash" procession when the most Indians know that swamis are buried. Response: Miguel appears to have been carried away with his eloquence. Extract: Togadia said the *yatra *will go on. "*The body of Swamiji was not cremated. His was a samadhi and he was buried. So claims of the asthi-kalash yatra are not true*. However, we will condole his death with a *yatra *across the state," he said, Togadia, unknowing the implication has announced the "Asti Kalash Yatra" and hence Cheenath has tried his best to stop the yatra and he appears to have succeeded, as today news reports<http://compreligion.sulekha.com/FCKeditor_2.4.3/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=txtDesc>are coming that the yatra would not be allowed. http://brahmallahchrist.indiainteracts.com/2008/09/05/%E2%80%9Cswami-lakshmanananda-saraswati-was-no-saint%E2%80%9D-what-is-the-vatican%E2%80%99s-role-in-it/ http://www.dmanewsdesk.com/Business_news-1-20l.html Regards, Marshall ................................ When I refered to the meaning of Samir's surname in Konkani, it was "Rejected" by the Goanet Moderator as being foul, abusive and inappropriate or whatever. Now Samir threatens to post my "foul worded" private emails to him on the Goanet! ;-) Good try. May be it will slip through. Otherwise well-balanced persons do trip on banana skins ... sometimes!
