Naxalism and spirituality
Inspired from Abhi's last post on Eachara Warriar..... Naxalism has been a curse since the early 1970's in India. The driving forces were money, socialism, ruling out the difference between the have's and have not's. Whatever is the reason, it marked the darkest and most inhuman era in Indian history. The current state of many of those Naxalate heroes is a food for thought. Some of them still keep the fire in their hearts and look forward for the most awaited tomorrow. But, there are a few who have become the close disciples of Holy Men and Women and carrying a renewed holiness tag. Yes, it is true that there is nothing more than repenting the committed sin. But what about those lives, they took in their craziest moments, what about those girls who lost their virginity in front of their parents and brothers, what about those kids who lost their parents, and last not the least what about those living martyrs. They realized that falseness of their beliefs and philosophies, which they had been keeping near to their hearts. But, they forget that they harvested the same seeds in many young minds, who started the next battle of naxalism. Will these newly tagged saints able to pluck those well-groomed beliefs from the young minds?If they really have the guilty feeling in their minds, they should help those victims instead of visiting Ashrams. Nobody has the guts to do so and this is some sort of escapism only.
Is this a necessary transformation in every human being? It gave me a tons of hourse power, when I read my favorite poet Vayalar singing;
 Aaroraalen kuthiraye kettuvaan?
Aaroraalathin maargam mudakkuvaan
 ..
Easwaranalla Maanthrikanalla njan
Pacha mannin manushyathvamaanu njanÂ
Later, when he made me listen to Sargasangeetham
ÂAa manmethakalaattunotta madhura swapnangalil
Jeevitha premam paadiya saamagaana lahari harshaanjithaatmakkalay
Aa manwanthara bhaava shilpikalennekkumay thannathaanu
Omal kaarthika neyvilakkeriyumee ekaanda raagasramamÂ
There is nothing constant in this world than change ..
