I have come across this question several times so have many of you, here is a sincere attempt to present some facts on this. Before I get into details I would like to bring to your notice that Shri Asaram Ji Bapu has nothing against any religion or community and He has demonstrated this several times. As a matter of fact several Christians, Muslims and Parsis are great disciples of Sant Shri Asaram Ji Bapu. He gives the message of ‘Vasudheva Kutumbakam’ meaning ‘Whole World is your family’. I have nothing against any religion or community, but I really hate interfaith conversion business. When I say business I literally mean it – conservationists’ salaries, incentives, growth all are decided based on the conversion targets they achieve. Traditionally tribal areas have been main target of conversion by people conducting Conversion Business because of some obvious reasons.
An important aspect to note is that Asaram Ji Bapu’s services are very active in tribal areas – which includes providing shelters (in the form of small permanent Houses), distribution of food and clothes. In such areas people are assigned ration cards by Sant Shri Asaram Ji Ashram Samiti which are used for controlled distribution of food and clothing irrespective of caste and religion; and without asking them for any kind of conversion! Unemployed people including women in such areas are given daily allowance and meals for visiting Ashram under ‘Bhajan Karo aur Bhojan Paoo scheme’ . Under this scheme unemployed people are feed for free and along with meditation and yoga. See pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/hariombooks/BhajanKaroBhojanPaao#. You can verify the very recent distribution of 50 houses in tribal area near Damoh (M.P). Several Gurukuls are run in such areas and surprising fact of such Gurukuls is they have produced 90% plus results in SSC Board Exams. There are Gurukuls of Sarki Limari (Gujarat), Gondia (Maharashtra) and Chhindwara (Madhya Pradesh) and several others who have produced 100% results. This is an eye opener for people who claim that one cannot expect such results in such rural areas.
As stated earlier these tribal areas have been prime target by conversion business. With these selfless services being conducted by Sant Shri Asaram Ji Ashram – the conversion business has been hit very badly. People who conduct conversion Business, their goal is clear – they can do anything to earn their bread and butter. Whatever money they get for this business has been invested in sponsoring anti social activities and conspiracies against Asaram Ji Bapu. These people are very opportunistic and do not lose any opportunity to misuse any small incident to defame Bapu Ji. However they never come to the forefront but look for people like Raju Chandok, who have been thrown out of Ashram because of their deeds.
This would also explain why sting operation which exposed all the conspiracies against Asaram Bapu was not aired on any news channel except A2Z news, and the principle followed by most media channels seems to be very simple ‘Money buys the news’.
You can view this Sting Operation and its findings on following link:-
What else can be the reason? Media channels aired false allegations against Asaram Bapu have been very loud and repetitive. Now when truth of these conspiracies have been revealed, they don’t care to bring it to everybody’s notice and apologize for their false coverage. Following short clip is very interesting to listen regarding false coverage:-
I would urge people conducting conversion business to look for some other country to do this Business, India does not need this; and no matter what you conspire, truth will always prevail as you can see that Sant Asaram Bapu’s followers keep on increasing every single day. People who tried to kill Jesus, may have succeeded in killing His Body but they failed severely in killing Jesus, same happened with several great Saints like Socrates. With all increasing conspiracy against Asaram Bapu, His impact is more far reaching then ever and He has gone deep in to our hearts!
I would also request media to start revealing truth otherwise they will soon lose their credibility and people will stop watching the bogus coverage. If media continues to make malicious attempt to defame Bapuji they should also be taken for Narco test to reveal the truth on who is funding them for this fake coverage?
