Bengaluru: Sadhu of Karnataka origin, disciple murdered by thieves in Maharashtra


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, May 25: Shivacharya Nirvanarudra Pashupathinath Maharaj (33), an ascetic hailing from Karnataka, has been murdered by miscreants in Nanded district, Maharashtra. His disciple, Bhagawan Shindhe, was also murdered.

This incident comes close on the heels of murdering three Sadhus in a shrine at Palghar on April 16.

The Swamiji had set up a Lingayat Math at Umri, Nanded, and settled there, sources said.

The miscreants eliminated Shindhe before proceeding to the bedroom of the Swamiji inside the Ashram. After killing the Swamiji, they tried to shift the body elsewhere in a car. As the car dashed against the gate of the Ashram, they seem to have developed cold feet. They abandoned the mortal remains at the Ashram before fleeing, said district superintendent of police, Vijay Kumar.

After the murder, the miscreants took away cash and valuables from the Ashram. Kumar said that the murders happened with the motive of theft. Relating to the case, a person identified as Sainath Lingade has been arrested and being questioned, sources said.

The SP said that prima facie this murder does not appear to have been backed by communal hatred or religious bigotry. However, investigation will bring out the truth, he added.

    WHILE CONDEMNING THIS HEINOUS CRIME,

    IMHO, this is one of the socioeconomic effect of CORONA conundrum! Burglaries will rise as people face starvation! BTW, a couple of weeks ago few Catholic churches were broken open & ransacked in DK!

    Shrimp farms in Palghar are being systematically robbed of their produce, regularly, by a big gang of organized burglars!

    Day before, as per newsreport, 9 of a family were found dead, dragged & dumped in a well in Warangal!

    Yesterday, in a milk producing area, near Bangalore, 4000 litres of fresh milk was dumped in canals as the milk federation authorities refused to accept the same because a lady from that village was reported CORONA+ve!
    Chicken costing 50/kg, even distributed free a month ago, costing 250/kg today!
    In Kundapur, two people, consumer some anti CORONA Kashaya & are crtical!
    One married lady & her lover ripped from a quarantine center!
    Maximum divorce cases filed due to lockdown! Just terms getting addicted to porn; very old searching for paedophile sites (search engine research reports)!
    Cousins hammered one of their brothers for refusing to go for CORONA test!
    In one village in Karnataka, one religious place has been named CORONA Amma & daily rituals & offering given to this new godess!
    Many of the famous & richest religious places have gone cash dry & not able to pay salaries of their employees first time in history!
    Money getting shifted to large PSU banks from Oct ones for whatever reason!

    List is endless.....
    This is the socioeconomic effect of CORONA conundrum showing up, it will be multifaceted, painful, & longdrawm! Post CORONA life will be a different ballgame altogether!

    Reminds me of what happened in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina's aftermath!
    Do your own research please!

    Dear Rudolph
    There are special people who can invoke Gods. There are people who chant Manthras. Those Manthras are messages to help get peace and happiness to the ordinary people. Hope you got it.

    In my state of Maharashtra, 3 political parties with diverse ideologies, sworn, bitter enemies, have formed a coalition government !!! This prosperous state has descended into total chaos... governance, law n order has collapsed !!! Health care , infrastructures, hospitals have disintegrated, with Covid19 patients dying on the streets !!! Sadhus have been lynched with impunity in Palghar district... a sadhu from Karnataka, has been brutally strangled to death !!! There is no remorse, nor protests or any candlelight vigil for the dead !! The financial capital of the nation, Mumbai, is precariously ruined... Our society n nation will suffer grievously from the this fiasco, unleashed by corrupt n incompetent netas !!!!

    Dude !! USA has 1•68 million infected, deaths are 93,035 from Covid19 pandemic, whereas our nation has 1, 39, 000 infected patients, deaths are 4021.. We as a nation have been remarkably able to control this virus, despite severe constraints !!!!!! We would have definitely neutralized this pandemic, at the early stages, but failed to eradicate this curse, due to deliberate attempts to spread this plague and certainly due to gross criminal negligence by incompetent netas in states of our nation.....

    Drastically increase the testing every 1 in 3 will be positive, highest in the world!
    Do you know the population density of Mumbai in many pockets?
    Most who have died are not directly by CORONA, but by various comorbidities!
    What do you think is happening in Udipi/DK right now?
    The initial delay of more than a month In locking down foreigners is the biggest reason!

    Naxals and communist have taken total control of Maharashtra . Everyone knows who are at the behest of it. Swamy’s are attacked because they are the stubble block to someone who have ulterior motive in redesigning the culture. Truth will never come out if the people at they helm of affairs wants it that way. Sad thing is if it was priest of another religion it would have been a great time for Hinduphobhai.

    Bro, The Lutyens lobby, of Congress, Leftist, supported by radicals, have been hypocritically exposed.. These pseudo secularists are silent, their ears, eyes, mouths, have been tightly sealed !! No protests or any signs of candlelight vigil in sight !!! Had the lynched been from the minority community, then all Hell, would have broken loose !! They would have wailed and ranted, even go to the international media, UN and OIC, for sanctions against our nation !!!!

    Nobody cares or sheds tears for Sadhus getting butchered every time in Maharashtra, there will be a namesake FIR or a complaint at some obscure Police Station & life goes on. No politician or Social worker will take up their deaths or cause of deaths, And yes, no tears will be shed too

    No, killing Sadhus is absolutely inhuman and the culprits should be subjected to law.

    However, this is what is available to read in some other report of this news :
    The criminals looted Rs 69,000, his laptop and other valuables from the victim's bedroom totalling around Rs 1.50 lakh, besides his car keys. As Shivacharya tried to grapple with them, they killed him.

    Are individuals called 'Sadhu' when they possess this much wealth ?

    There was, already, a lot of poverty in certain pockets which has hit rock bottom levels so wherever there is money, valuables these places will be at very high risk for daring burglaries! This is the aftermath of a seriously hyped CORONA pandemic, which hit an already weak economy on the throes of recession!

    Can you be!ieve, in last year's severe drought in Maharashtra, even buckets of water used to get robbed, people used to chain the utensils & stand guard at night!
    Research & read the horrible condition of tribals, small kids in certain parts of Maharashtra who just subsist on forest produce!

    Just check out what happened in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina created havoc!
    Better take precautions considering the pathetic socioeconomic condition of the poor & migrants!

    Please do your own independent research!!
