Swami Vivekananda’s death is not natural, it’s a murder: Prof KS Bhagavan
Demands investigation
Mysuru, August 06: Writer and progressive thinker Prof KS Bhagavan said that the death of Swami Vivekananda was not natural. It’s a murder. He was strangulated. The government should conduct an investigation into the death, he demanded.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said that Swami Vivekananda was speaking about the principles and ideologies of Buddhism. He might have killed after this development. Being a youth, he did not meet natural death. There was a suspicion. Nobody would believe that Vivekananda died naturally. In the same way, Basavanna was also killed. Those who were unable to tolerate the Vachana movement of Basavanna, had killed him. It was an utter lie that Basavanna was united in the God at Kudala Sangama. Basavanna had initiated a movement against the casteism in the society. Why did he unit in the God? There was no Kailasa and heaven, he said.
State Govt. should celebrate Mahisha Dasara
For the last four years, Mahisha Dasara Foundation Committee has been celebrating Mahisha Dasara in its own expenses and now, the government should celebrate it on the line of Chamundi Dasara. In the Mahisha Dasara, the idol of Mahisha should be placed on the elephant like Jamboo Savari on October 7 and with this, the government should encourage Dravida culture, he demanded.
Jnana Prakash Swamiji of Urilingi Peddi Mutt, Samiti president Shantaraj, writers Raju K Bannur, Siddaswamy, former mayor Purushottam and others were present.
