SC Verdict-Adultery is no criminal offence


SC’s  judgement that adultery is not a criminal offence does not in any way influence the relation between husband and wife. Husband or wife, whoever indulges in adultery, conjugal relation is bound to be adversely affected, no matter adultery is a criminal offence or not. In fact. when a man and woman get involved in adulterous relation, they hardly care for the law that permits  or prohibits adultery . In our society marriage is deemed a sanctified institution. Here it’s difficult to assume that after marriage husband or wife would give consent to each other or acquiesces to choose an outside partner to sleep with. Nor husband or wife would claim he or she has every right to have sex with another person as it is no longer a criminal offence. However, in the event of sexual dysfunction of husband or wife, one may give consent to another for extramarital sex, that too occurs in rare cases because they would prefer to go in for divorce. However, the verdict might help those people who engage their wives in sexual relation with others, by coercion or persuasion, for earning money or some married women who voluntarily might have sex with others for monetary benefit.

An open letter to Sanghacharyaya, Mahamilan Math, Kolkata


Sanghacharyaya,                                                                                February 7,2018
Mahamilan Math

Dear Sir,                         Sub: Misbehviuor, Misdemeanor  and Mismanagement.
To begin with let me introduce I’m a septuagenarian retired College Professor and quite a veteran disciple of Sri Sri Sitaram Das Onkernath. Way back in nineteen fifties when I was in school I took Diksha(initiation) from Sri Thakur. Sri Thakur, I’m proud to say, paid visit to my ancestral house at Ranaghat,Nadia twice and stayed there whole day and night. I distinctly remember in my childhood days I used to go to Dumurdaha, Thakur’s Birthplace with my parents and other members of my family to have His Darshan.In later life I got the opportunity to come  close to Thakur and had his blessings.
Now let me share my unfortunate experience with you on the Day of Onkar Panchami(Birthday Celebration of Sri Sri Thakur) at Mahamilan Math on Feb 05,2018. There was impressive gathering of people as expected on this August occasion and the management seemed doing well. But I was totally disillusioned when I went to take Prasad at the backyard of the Math premises.  No iota of discipline prevailed there among those in charge of kitchen and serving food. I found people seated in dining hall endlessly waiting for food to be served. Men in kitchen in white robe, probably sadhus moving in leisurely pace, behaved in rude and rough manner with those who enquired to know when Prasad would be served. As the dining room was full I found people squatting at Verandah with leaf plates. I took permission from  a man in kitchen and joined the squatters. At last long awaited and much coveted serving of Prasad began.Alas, little did I know my ordeal  was still to end. While going past some of us those serving Prasad didn’t care to look at us, let alone serve Prasad. I vainly tried to draw their attention repeatedly and ultimately called it a day. Unfed my temper frayed. I protested and a tall duti-clad flabby muscle man asked me to get out with abusive language like a bouncer in hotels and restaurants. I felt insulted and humiliated  like any other  self respecting man and resolved not to step in Mahamilan Math on any other occasion in future.In my view those who can’t pay proper respect to a man and  on the contrary treat people as subhuman beings have no right to serve in any Math and Missions.Thank you.
