I always believed that being in a position to guide people, these gurus should get in touch with the times and steer people toward the right paths - like anti-caste, anti-dowry etc. So I used to admire shri jayendra saraswati. But I am shocked at what has happened - I cannot believe that jayalalitha is so naive as to risk the bad publicity and the fallout unless she had strong evidence against the Seer. Brahmins have always favored her against DMK and that is one bank she cannot afford to antogonise. Let us see what unfolds in the days to come!Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.com
