For all the froth about not mixing religion with politics, the genuflection of politicians before “godmen” is a common sight in Indian democracy.
From presidents to prime ministers to chief ministers, from MPs to MLAs to MLCs—from Congress to BJP to JDS to name your party—not a word is uttered, not an eyebrow goes up, when swamijis sit a notch above democratically elected leaders in public fora, when they fall at their lotus feet.
Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa received his blessings from Sri Balagangadharanath swamiji of the Adichunchunagiri Mutt in Bangalore on Wednesday.

What role should swamijis, religious gurus play?

At least touching feet of head of the Adichunchunagiri mutt is better than doing the same to Benny Hinn :)-
Worldwide leaders have a growing respect for religion, gurus for many reasons. Putin, Bush.. treat the Pope of Moscow, or Vatican in similar way. Obama will do the same.

Politicians do anything to feel safe. Remember our expanding, circular politicians falling at the feet of Jagadguru Benny Hinn with Devegowda waiting his turn?
Before J. H. Patel, Karnataka was fairly free from the disease of open ingratiation with swamis who can cover their physical nakedness but not their empty minds. The socialist Patel found Basava along with the viraktha matha charlatans in the north. There wasn’t a single guru or God that the boLa Krishna genuflected to. Sai Baba built an empire in Karnataka thanks to SMK’s fear of God striking him dead for his sins right on Ambedkar Maarga within sight of “Sarkaari kelasa devara kelasa.” Devegowda elevated the hateful parody of a god Shani, especially in his Tamil incarnations, to the status of Shiva, not realizing he himself (Gowda) is an avataar of Shani. Gowda further went to the extreme authoritanism of creating jagadgurus like Chandrashekharanaatha Swami and gave him Vokkaligara Mahaa Samsthaana to teach BGS a lesson. (Two days ago in Hassan Gowda inveighed against government funding of mathas, while he himself once gleefully asserted that he gave BGS ten lakhs to BGS out of him MP discretionary fund.) Yediyrappa lives in a fortress ringed by Llingaayat/Veerashaiva and Brahmin swamis. To neutralise Gowda among the vokkaligas, Yediyurappa needs the help of BGS and he pretty nearly has it under his belt. Look to the chief minister currying favour with Beereshwaraananda Swami of Kaaginele to tear the Kuruba community out of the grasp of that nincompoop pol Siddharaama. Mumtaz Ali Khan will bring the mullas into the BJP fold, insha allah, giving them money for new mosques and keeping us all awake literally through the lung power of newly hired muezzins. Had the Christian dharmagurus been a little more politic, they too would have been recipients of Yediyrappa’s kappa, but, clearly, their actions are controlled by overseas forces in the U. S. and the Vatican.
Ananthamurthy and Belagere are doing something similar in a secular burkha, so to speak, falling at the feet of politicians and police officers. So much for self-respect and commitment to service.
To segue off, why can’t the jagadgurus in our miniature world of
Karnataka take it upon themselves to help the cause of Karnataka and Kannadigas? Surely it looks like theirs is the power and the glory. Amen.

I am of the opinion that the title of this article is wrong an also misleading.
If someone has belief in a system or an organised body of thought, it’s his or her right to prostrate before such a system or individual. Be it the CM or the PM, I do not have the right to dictate what should be his belief system. As long as it is kept within the confines of his personal self and as long as it does not influence his political civil decision making, it shouldn’t be our concern as to what he does. it’s simply a choice he has made and let’s just leave it there.
Atleast some of the swamijis are genuinely doing their bit for the betterment of few local communities instead of going around and spreading unscientific notions like faith healing and trying to push the world back to the dark christian ages. No harm in venerating an individual whom you feel is worth it.
And some of the comments above suggesting that churumuri didn’t publish such articles during the fool, benn hinn’s visit is really imbecile. The defense to such aricles should be through logic rather than rhetoric. Publishing or not publishing doesn’t render a issue justified or otherwise.
Finally, I think asking questions if the CM can fall at a godman’s feet is really unbecoming of forum like churumuri. It would have been much appreciated if Churumuri had bothered to ask if it was right for the CM to skip a discussion on the first morning of a budget session to attend wedding of a colleagues brother?

This is against the rules of Karnataka Government. So the time he spent at the feet of Godman can not be claimed as time spent for Government work. With this note I conclude Mr. CM is free to fall anywhere but such acts cant be claimed as in furtherance of Government work.

PTL – Feedback welcome.
However I don’t usually call folks, “names”, unless I have become prior target of name-calling by such folks.
And when I say, Secular-Liberal, I am not “name-calling” but “identifying” or “placing” for clarity.
Again, in a prolonged debate that can go on and on, it’s, I feel, incumbent on debaters to try and “win” their argument.
Of course, civility must be ensured.

excuses excuse from the graet secular liberal vinay who preaches to all and sundry like a typical pretentious hypocrite pseudo.But for someone who preaches tolerance and non violenec to hindus,the guy cant control himself from going after other’s typos,such is his violence or anger.Atleast the ram sene guys had some belief about isssues and they did not lecture others.Compare with vinay.He lectures here and has no control but hits below the belt about english when it is only typos.
And note his comment had nothing to add to the topic.It was just primitive anger from a pseudo aginst a nonpsecular.And this guy lectures others pretentiously like the psecular breed.These guys are something else.

PTL,
If you take name-calling and posturing away, there will be nothing left in these long winded commenters’ comments!
Oh and unnecessary use of quotations.

There must be more stringent penalties and punishments for condom manufacturers who make condoms that burst. The laws should be more deterrent in nature. Only then will we be free of people with inflated gas-filled egos who grow up “byhearting” a lot of information but remain moronic robots and yet have a flase superiority complex. Such people invariably begin blogging with all the rage of a constipated gorilla, and have comparable intelligence.
