00:00See, people are looking at it as a prasad issue.
00:04For me, I am not looking at it as an issue of prasad.
00:08Definitely it is an issue.
00:11I think most of them, I think, in general,
00:14not everybody I can say, but in general,
00:17the general public I can say.
00:19I don't know about the organization heads and mudships,
00:21I am not talking about them.
00:23But, let it be political parties or political commentators,
00:28they are thinking laddu or prasad as just one issue.
00:34I am not...
00:36They don't know the before of it and pre and post.
00:42The issue is not about just prasad.
00:46It is the way we run temples.
00:49It is the way we jump into conclusions.
00:55And the attack on Sanatana Dharma has been
00:59consistent all through these decades.
01:05Ever since, I mean at least,
01:07I can say at least,
01:09ever since I came of, maybe a little awakening which I had around
01:13what is happening around me, say,
01:15at least 3 or 4 decades.
01:18Right from I was 14, I am aware.
01:21I was always aware.
01:24For me, I prefer equality.
01:31The issue is not about today,
01:34today it is prasad, laddu,
01:38you know, the desecration or whatever thing,
01:41the sanctity of prasad.
01:44Okay, we will find the culprits,
01:47we will punish them, let it be CBI or
01:54anybody, whichever authority,
01:58but the issue is they might resolve it,
02:01they will resolve it definitely.
02:03The culprits will be punished.
02:06But what I am looking at is beyond this.
02:09We have to find a mitigation mechanism
02:13to confront such happenings, occurrences in future.
02:20And that is very essential for the health of our democracy.
02:25The problem with such occurrences, such situation happens,
02:30the problem is Hinduism,
02:34the attack on such situation is not from,
02:39predominantly I don't see it much from
02:43Muslim society or Christians, I mean from Christians.
02:48The attack is more from Hindus, within Hindus.
02:52These Hindus, the so-called, they say they are Hindus,
02:56but they don't have respect for Sanatana Dharma.
02:59And they comment easily and they are the ones
03:02to be corrected in the first place.
03:05When a Muslim wants to eat meat,
03:08it should be halal certified, done in a halal manner.
03:12Imagine if it is not done.
03:17At least it is an issue.
03:20We cannot question, okay, why do you want to do it?
03:25An average Muslim personality says,
03:28that's what I believe, that's what I say, I want to do.
03:32But the problem is, same thing happens in a Hindu,
03:36in the Hindu system, the question comes from,
03:39if some kind of such violation happens,
03:42a Hindu won't get the support.
03:45From his own Hindus, fellow Hindus.
03:48They are so divided, disintegrated,
03:53and that's the issue.
03:56So regarding Tirupati Prasad, also the same issue.
03:59It is a set of norms are there.
04:02These norms have happened, it evolved since 700 years.
04:05And last 300 years, the concept of all the,
04:09it used to be called Bhoomdi,
04:12so it was not rolled into a rounded ball,
04:17so a shape, and finally 300 years back,
04:20they made it more easy to offer this way.
04:23And a lot of reverence and devotion goes into that,
04:26quality, how do you, why do we wash feet and go and sell,
04:30why do we take shower?
04:33Because it is a way of cleansing, and it's a purification process.
04:36You do with the purity, prayers should be done at a purity level,
04:40the prasad to be offered, it should be with the complete purity.
04:43The ingredients which are not supposed to go into it, when they went inside,
04:47and it is a violation of trust.
04:50And that did hurt people, that enraged people.
04:55And imagine someone says it, who are the board members?
05:00I am not, the concept is I am not blaming any, whom I am blaming?
05:04I am blaming the regulatory body there,
05:07the authority which was sitting there.
05:10You are supposed to look into it.
05:13Instead of saying, ok, mistake happened, we are sorry,
05:16we will look into it, a simple apology, sorry, would have reduced it.
05:21I am not saying, they won't be left out,
05:24we won't leave them, but it would have lessened the mitigation.
05:29But they didn't do it, they escalated it.
05:32And where they are drawing their strength from?
05:35They are drawing their strength from Hindus, society is divided,
05:41fellow Hindus can be abused, fellow Hindus can be done,
05:45because you can't raise your voice, because we are also Hindus.
05:48This is the group. How much percentage, it depends.
05:52But for that group, I am also Hindu.
05:56I also respect other religions.
06:01But here I am questioning not Muslims or Christians.
06:05Fellow Hindus.
06:06I am questioning the Hindus who doesn't have respect for Sanatana Dharma.
06:10You are the prime culprits for this entire episode.
06:16For them to escape, to safeguard Hinduism, Hindu society,
06:23should be safeguarded from the people within Hinduism,
06:28who attack Sanatana Dharma.
