As long as it is convenient for the politicians to hoard their black money and acquire lands with the help of the mataadhipathis they are absolutely happy, attend functions, make promises they choose to forget even as they alight the steps down the stage! Once the Swamis learn the tricks of the trade and start laying down some rules, hidden cameras are fixed & unholy activities are exposed. For a few lakhs and prime time viewership private tv channels are ready to air the videos even before the other side of the story is heard. I am not saying swami nithyananda was a saint. He does not radiate one bit of divinity. For all we know now about him, he may have taken to spiritualism because of his erectile dysfunction!

Sure, have fun, but why stop others from having it too? This is why I like Osho so much...for all the controversy surrounding him, at least, he wasn't a hypocrite!Karishma VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945136139407912234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-40850787297682022032010-03-05T22:36:36.576+05:302010-03-05T22:36:36.576+05:30Married or unmarried, all people look at is sex (w...Married or unmarried, all people look at is sex (with husband/wife or even others even dogs u know)<br /><br />Sex need not be the starting point of love. This is the concept that leads to unsuccessful marriages. This is why adultery. Man and woman need variety eh.<br /> <br />If a man and woman fall in love after 65, is the starting point sex??? Do not tell me love cannot happen after 60 now.<br /><br />Duh, he cannot even do the salute, forget hoisting the flag. Do not generalise. Probably it is the individual's perception, his/her love.<br /><br />"What is Gangotri to Ganga is Sex to Love.What is coal to Diamond is Sex to Love.Can you ever declare that i have the most precious diamond but there is no coal in it?" <br /><br />Well, don't you love ur mother or father or will u say it is not love just compassion or a liking. Or u mean to say, a child is born from sex, so sex is the starting point?? U love someone coz u love em, not coz their private parts are attractive. <br /><br />Thoughtless or a form of samadhi need not come at the time of ejaculation alone. One may even think "Holy crap, what am i doing" during the prime time of sex.<br /><br />"Thats the taste of Godliness" is it Amul butter u are talking about.<br /><br /><br />Finally, just because one woman is a slut or a man is a gay (let equality prevail), does not mean all are. Or are they?<br /><br />What Soumya said is true. When did the concept of celibacy come into hinduism? Hinduism terms a householder's life as grihastashrama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-23279833135186038272010-03-05T19:17:21.242+05:302010-03-05T19:17:21.242+05:30Anon: Thanks for providing the link to the blog.

W...I agree with what you have to say in this post. <br />We have stopped thinking for ourselves. And that is the root of many problems. We are becoming very comfortable letting someone else tell us what to think, do, decide. EIther it is the media, or political leaders, spiritual gurus and the list is never ending. <br />How many of us really do something because we believe in it ? SOmethings are done simply because it is in fashion, even thoughts. It is in Fashion to meditate or do yoga, so we do it. <br />Once we grow up and decide to leave the bher-chaal and start thinking for ourselves, such people who make money using us will stop flourishing. And I am not just talking about the spritual Godmen here.TheMemoryMakerhttp://thememorymaker.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-46729767120067952382010-03-05T07:21:14.865+05:302010-03-05T07:21:14.865+05:30oh it reminds me of an interview I had done. some ...oh it reminds me of an interview I had done. some elite swamiji who had a PR agent and was behaving exactly like a celebrity..<br />no wonder any swami, I see, looks fake to me.... well said..janani sampathhttp://unrelentingdreamer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-78198778798499908112010-03-04T22:18:14.391+05:302010-03-04T22:18:14.391+05:30Ironically, the "rolling" sadhu seems to...Ironically, the "rolling" sadhu seems to be gathering lots of masses.Daniel.

'swami' is somebody who has understood oneself completely (and it is implied that when one understands self completely, one understands the ultimate truth of the universe). so if sex figures in a swami's list of things-to-do, he does not become any more base. what is important that such sex is consensual and not opportunistic (more on the swami's part). if there's a person who's got a busy sex life and yet, works for the downtrodden, underprivleged and those who need support - he's a better swami than some idiot who claims to be celibate and sits on his bum the whole day or even somebody who meditates in a forest, far away from people, 'contemplating' life.
