No government financing

Swami Amrita-Chaitanya could receive his money straight from the government if India financed Hinduism the way many Asian and European countries pay the salaries of Christian and Islamic priests. Those Christian and Muslim leaders receive payments directly from the government while the Hindu swamis go through hell.

Of course, Swami Amrita-Chaitanya could have been falsely accused. I just want to point out the odds Hinduism has to compete against.--71.108.4.249 11:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

1. REDIRECTRedirected toHe should be tortured in the same way he has done to innocent young girls, not to be spared so that who ever does this type of crime and using God's name should be openly tortured and punished for this crime of rape, cheating and drugs, he should be given the same drugs and punishes of hot iron rod to be lashed in his private parts to teach him and the horrnedous act he has done with young girls & who ever thinks that rape is an easy way to escape should eb punished in the same mannner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.189.46.155 (talk) 09:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

If the swamis are not paid or even paid through the governments if you say that the christians and muslims are getting paid by the government, they are not encouraging drugs and sex in they religion, or neither are they doing anything bad in the name of God he should be punished for his crimes, specially for raping young girls. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.189.46.155 (talk) 09:03, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

just A rotton apple

       Indian guru ,tantrik, and yogins are no longer being identified as missionaries of god  who have dedicated their entire life for the propagation of faith and for infusing  moral, spiritual and ethical uplift ment of human kind. the west and for that matter westernised versions of hindu deterministic, obscurantists and agnostics go microscopically about finding faults with the miracle men ,god men or guroos . 
      This gaggle of tainted and self styled mendicants who get excessively rich and influential over night has not only marred the repute  of so many monks, ascetics and seers who are still contributing substantially to the religious ,cultural and philosophic bulk of human society .A man in the common walk of life must be enlightened about the lineage and commitment of real saints and seers .-all are not rapists ,smugglers ,frauds and criminals . the positive perspective is that they are --rogues and criminals in a saints guise instead of asserting that all seers are criminals and rogues .
     the name with suffix chaitanya suggests an acolyte of  monks belonging to the lineage of adi shankaracharya .others being with their names ending with anand and swaroop. they are novices and are rarely ever gurus unless highly qualified or pennant ascetics of considerable maturity.this is also a pre-monistic phase of a would be monk who  bear suffixes like tirth, ashram and sarswati afte.their names for example the  great exponent of arya sama, swami dayanand sarswati used to be called as shudh chaitanya before entering the religious order .
 the monastic discipline to which acolytes ,alter boys and monks  are subject is rigid enough leave no room for any transgression let alone crime and penal offences .
    As soon as they are convicted they cease to be swamis or gurus or mahatmas . the fourth estate should be cautious about using heir monastic denomination instead of their conventional names .One murderer from karnataka changes his identity to swami shradhanand or something this is highly defamatory and offensive to people who still have faith in shankara's school of thought . after being convicted they are neither swamis nor gurus nor mahatmas . Ra van did abducted sita in the guise of a swami . no one knows him as a swami ravananand  . he is a perpetual villain.
