Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Bhubaneswar, India (July 21, 2004): In a bizarre incident, an Orissa youth beheaded his mother to "appease" a deity, police said Wednesday. The family of Jara Tirki, 22, of Patagaon village in Sundergarh district had been upset over Tirki's keeping a fast for some days and performing some rituals at home for goddess Tarini, police said. His mother Janga, 45, suspecting him to be under the influence of black magic, invited a witch doctor for his "treatment". The witch doctor performed some rituals and left after tying a ribbon on Jara's neck. Jara was furious at this. On Monday night, when all the family members were fast asleep, he brought out an axe and hacked his mother to death. He offered the mother's head to the deity at home and worshipped for a while, officials said. He later buried the head. The family informed some villagers, who locked Jara in his house and notified the police. Jara was arrested following the complaint. "We are investigating the matter to find out if there is any other reason behind the murder," said a district police official.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I am sorry to say that many youngsters with a lot of energy and unbounded ambition and without proper guidence get into Sadhana mode and the result is temporary or permenant mental instability. In such state they commit crimes believing it will help them along. Thed only place they reach is the prison. This happens mostly because of unfounded assertions and misunderstanding of scriptures. There have also been instances of "religion" being used as an excuse to further personal agenda. As we all know the early colonists used Christianity to further imperialistic designs; this is an equally condemnable act.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I understand Kochu but who is to guide these youths who have access to all this knowledge and yet no proper guidance in the form of a Guru due to lack of Samskaara. I am sad indeed and don't know the solution except try my best to help someone when they cross my path. , sankara menon <kochu1tz> wrote: > I am sorry to say that many youngsters with a lot of energy and unbounded ambition and without proper guidence get into Sadhana mode and the result is temporary or permenant mental instability. > > In such state they commit crimes believing it will help them along.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I would say guidance begins at home.I say its the responsibility of the parents how they are bringing up their children. If home life is no good then a child will get messed up. Just an opinion.

I have encountered Youngsters who seems to think they are special. They are the "Adi Shankara" and these knowledge they have is specially inherited and DEVI appeared before them telling them that this is what they should do.How ca we dispute these claims? How can we draw the line between illusions and reality. Try to explain to these? Can anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we draw the line between illusions and reality. Try to explain to these? Can anyone? I have come across such children and the way I try is to listen. They talk and talk till their own stories sound unreal to them.They stop and become 'normal'. There are genuine people but they remain silent.
