Bengaluru, April 03:
A civil court in Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), Karnataka has awarded a
punishment of 3.5 years for two Christian missionaries and one year each
for 9 missionaries of Peter’s church, Bangalore for blaspheming Hindu
Deities and disturbing the feelings of citizens.
The group of missionaries is accused of
having publicly stated that Hindu Gods Ram, Krishna, Tirupathi
Venkataramana as not genuine Gods, and that Jesus was the only God. This
created animosity between the two communities. Court also observed
that they were encouraging people to join Christianity by giving steel
plates, clothes and food.
When Purushottam, a local questioned about this act, christian missionaries assaulted him and threatened him for life.
This incident happened on 19 May 2007 in
the jurisdiction of the Andersonpet Poilice station of the Kyasamballi
village of Lolar district in Karnataka. The attempt of forcible
conversions was reported from Kyasamballi Village. This area witnessed
massive religious conversions in the last 40 years.
On 19 May 2007, around 1.30pm, the
Christian missionary group put up pendal on the outskirts of the the
Kyasamballi. They were making propaganda of Christianity by words and
signs. More than that, they were presumptuously blaspheming Hindu
deities Rama, Krishna, Thirupati Venkatramana saying that those are not
genuine and nothing but stones. They were shouting that ‘Yesu’ is the
only God. The missionaries tried to lure the citizens by steel plates,
biscutes, chocolates, towels and cloths to accept their claim that the
‘Yesu’ was only God and he will provide good health and wealth to all.
Rodrex (52) and SM Yesubabu(37) of Peter
Church were given total 3.5 years of prisonment under IPC sections
153(B), 323 and 506. Other 9 missionaries were given 1 year
imprisonment and fine of Rs 3000 each under IPC section 153(B).
In his order, that sentenced Christian
Missionaries for blaspheming Hindu deities (31 March 2012, CC 109/2008),
the Civil Court of KGF has said that, “The accused have committed grave
offence that to be social stigma and they are all more that 21 years
old and they created feelings of enemity between Hindu and Christian
communities by committing the offences prejudicial to maintenance of
harmony between two communities disturbed the Police tranquilities.”
Interestingly when Newsbharati
contacted St Peter’s Church (080 – 25264343) for knowing the Church
side, the receiver answered on behalf of the church giving details about
its address. He declined to be aware of such a court order against its
missionaries for blaspheming Hinduism. He further asked, “Where this has
happened, in India or in Pakistan,” and cut the call without giving his
credentials.
It is pity that a religion
called Christianity has only left steel plates and biscuits to attract
the people from other religion and not the spirituality. They have only
blasphemy words against the ancient and most spiritual Hinduism and not
the cerebral capacity to understand it.
That’s why in a recent survey of
to understand why the Catholics have stopped attending Church Mass” the
Catholics have told surveyors that they didn't like the church's
handling of the clergy sex abuse scandal and were upset that divorced
and remarried Catholics are unwelcome at Mass.
Without washing its own laundry,
now the Church and its missionaries of ‘peace and love’ are trying to
attack Hinduism and felling into jail.

As a former Christian myself (former Catholic, now Buddhist), I am ashamed of the behaviour of those members of a religion that has long stopped being a blessing for Western civilization.
