I feel that whatever Asaram Bapu may have done, he should not have been arrested. I do not feel a person like him should have been put in prison.
It is actual a case of state vs a 'God man'. What happens in India is that people worship a lot of things. Things like trees, stones, photos, books, 'samadhis' and idols.
Asaram Bapu is nothing but a 'living idol' to his followers. Many people 'worship him'.
Many people would be willing to 'die for him'. It is obvious that if people hold him in such high esteem, they would be willing to 'offer their bodies' also.
I feel that many women would also be doing the same for Asaram bapu. Thus Asaram bapu succumbed to the temptation and what I feel must have indulged in some kind of 'activity'.
Now let us face it. Hinduism is quite a 'liberal religion'. The sculptures and statues in ancient temples like Khajuraho and Konarak and Hampi and other places are testimony to the fact.
Also the system of 'Devdasis' was also there in Hinduism. Devdasi system encouraged offering of the women to the deities.
It is ideal that the 'god men' and 'God women' refrain themselves from sexual activities. That is open for 'normal people'. So the system has evolved over the past 200-300 years. System of nuns and priests and Sadhus who remain celibate and dedicate themselves to God.
But tell me people is it a must. Aren't people allowed to experiment?
What if thousands of people have no objection to a Godman like Asaram bapu, mainly his followers.
Now several 'Satsangs' or large gatherings where Asaram bapu would address his followers were to be held in September. Now that Asaram bapu is in prison those programs are cancelled. What will happen to the tens of thousands of Bapu followers. They would be 'devastated' to say the least. The state guarantees to protect every man, woman and child's right to religion and then denies them the right.
For the thousands of followers of Asaram he was nothing but their 'religion' and their 'guide to religion'.
I personally feel he was 'trapped' by people who plotted his downfall and press which is mostly 'dictated by their masters of dubious interests' and often 'sings in unision'.
Now people watching TV programs will think, wow Asaram did all this? Well he must be guilty. But the truth is something which is quite different and it would show he is not guilty. He is a Hindu 'Godman' who is being prosecuted to make his 'power over the masses reduce'. This is essentially a method of 'crowd control'. the 'crowd' in this case is Asaram followers in particular and Hindus in general.
