Only ‘humane Rama’ can face conspiracy of Rama Mandir construction: Prasanna
‘Hey Ram’- Ramayana, a discourse
Udupi, July 22: “Those who have only single digit strength have got 300 number strength in the name of Rama. Once again, they will make a conspiracy of Rama Mandir construction in a few months. The only way to face this conspiracy effectively is the ‘humane Rama’. Otherwise, people can say ‘Hey Ram’ and become martyrs. Now, we have to prepare to become martyrs”, said scholar, theatre activist and Charaka-fame Prasanna.
He was speaking at a discourse on ‘Hey Ram- Ramayana- organized by the Asakta Balaga at MGM College here on Sunday.
Prasanna said that “today Ramayana is being misused. We have just identified the dissent between Rama and Ravana. But we have failed to identify that the culture tried to build by Rama was different from the culture built by his father Dasharatha. Because of this reason, the Ramayana is being misused. In Ramayana, we have been observing the drama of Brahminization. In that Ramayana, we have been fight to prove Rama as the God. This is a peculiar and unreasonable argument. If we have to consider that Rama was born god and died as god, then Rama did not have any growth. Rama Rajya is equal to Grama Rajya. But the people have given arrow to single Rama where Grama Rajya is not there to fight with Babar and made Anjaneya as a demon and he would not accept such a Ramayana”, he said.
“Anjaneya was a gentleman. But today, he was depicted as Bajrang Bali and pasted him behind autos and vehicles. We have seen Vivekananda as a man who protected Hindu religion. But we are deliberately not seeing his critical analysis of various unreasonable practices in the Hindu religion or for social justice. Vivekananda who had consumed beef in America, had expressed it openly. But it was not because of insulting or giving pain to Hindus. He had done to bring the Hindus from heinous symbols and practices and introduce contemporary reality. He had advocated that cows should be protected in the farms of the farmers”, he said.
Writer Dr Mahabaleshwar Rao presided over the programme in which scholar Prof Phaniraj and others were present.
Rahul Gandhi who tells truth is buffoon!
Rahul Gandhi who tells truth is considered as a buffoon. Unfortunately, Narendra Modi who lies is a strong person. Because, people were not believing Rahul Gandhi’s leaders like Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. In the same way, people would not believe Yeddyurappa. But they would believe Rama. This was the reality, he said.
Around 80 per cent of today's culture was at the stage of dying and 20 per cent was in a position of living. The culture of the land was in a fix and every day it was being proved and everyone knew who involved in violence knew it. People should find ways to come out of this vicious circle. It was not possible to face the apprehension emerged out of indecency only politically. Both the wicked and those who keep silent were equally responsible for this indecency, he said.
Show culture to Shudras
People from middle class who knew English have been advocating the crime sitting behind the machines by trolling in social media. It was the tragedy of the country that the crime being advocated by the political party was being implemented by the poor and shudras. The poor were being hounded by the poor. Forget the defeat, but the Shudra youth should be shown the real culture by telling them the truth, he opined.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
