Guru Rasa's claim to be the Stripper for God is but the latest in a long list of insights into why the Divine Message is absolutely needed. i have realized that everything we see externally is fleeting and false in one way or another. If you meditate or contemplate on anything outside yourselve long enough sooner or later you will realize inherent defects, delusion and disillusionment. The _only_ sanctuary and solace is to seek the guidance and protection of the Adi Shakti within. Do not seek anything outside yourself because your sense may fool you .............. just like the man with the lovely face. warmest regards, jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tension reached a flashpoint when in 1970, the Awami League led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman swept the national elections, winning 167 of the 169 seats allotted for East Pakistan, giving it a majority in the 313-seat National Assembly and the right to form government at the center. Neither West Pakistani political leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto nor General Yahya Khan would accept this Bengali ascendancy in national politics, and the convention of the newly elected National Assembly was postponed indefinitely. The Awami League, now convinced that there could never be any political cohabitation between the East and the West, called for " full regional autonomy " and Mujibar Rahman announced that he was taking over the East's administration. The military now decided enough was enough. At a meeting of the military top brass, Yahya declared: " Kill 3 million of them and the rest will eat out of our hands. " Accordingly, on the night of March 25, 1971, the Pakistan army launched " Operation Searchlight " to " crush " Bengali resistance in which Bengali members of military services were disarmed and killed, students and the intelligentsia systematically liquidated and able-bodied Bengali males just picked up and gunned down. Death squads roamed the streets of Dacca, killing some 7,000 people in a single night. " Within a week, half the population of Dacca had fled. All over East Pakistan, people were taking flight, and it was estimated that in April, some 30 million people were wandering helplessly across East Pakistan to escape the grasp of the military, " writes Robert Payne in Massacre. Mujibur Rahman was arrested and the Awami League - which should have been ruling Pakistan - banned. Then began the rapes. In Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, Susan Brownmiller likens it to the Japanese rapes in Nanjing and German rapes in Russia during World War II. " ... 200,000, 300,000 or possibly 400,000 women (three sets of statistics have been variously quoted) were raped. " Reporter Aubrey Menen describes an incident targeting a just-married couple: " Two [Pakistani soldiers] went into the room that had been built for the bridal couple. The others stayed behind with the family, one of them covering them with his gun. They heard a barked order, and the bridegroom's voice protesting. Then there was silence until the bride screamed. Then there was silence again, except for some muffled cries that soon subsided. In a few minutes one of the soldiers came out, his uniform in disarray. He grinned to his companions. Another soldier took his place in the room. And so on, until all the six had raped the belle of the village. Then they left. The father found his daughter lying on the string cot unconscious and bleeding. Her husband was crouched on the floor, kneeling over his vomit.
