A Spanish proverb says :
" If you want to make God laugh , then tell him
about your plans "
When I visited Akshardham Mandir ( Delhi ) on 10th
March 2016 , I could hear Lord Swami-Narayana laugh !
Why ?
One lone soldier with a rifle was at its entrance ,
guarding a 100 acre complex , teeming with thousands of visitors
And the EXIT gate ( next to the ENTRANCE gate ) was
wide open and totally unguarded , from where any number of terrorists can walk
in , without any one so much as bothering to ask a question !
This , despite the fact that only a few days back ,
Government had issued a HIGH LEVEL ALERT for terrorist attacks on prominent
religious places !
Now , of course , we Indians firmly believe that
* GOD is without a beginning , without an end
and indestructible
* GOD does not
reside at any one particular place ( Ayodhya included ), but pervades every
atom in the entire
* GOD protects
us and not vice-versa !
Hence no surprise that Lord Swami-Narayana was laughing
at the government plans to beef up security to protect HIM !
But , what about the security of those thousands of visitors
( half of them foreigners visiting mega cultural event of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
, the next day ) ?
I am afraid the only thing we are good at is,
appointing a committee " to look into the causes of the massacre " ,
after the event !
I request Shri Doval to make incognito visits of all of
our major religious places !
