Divine merchants


THE TRIBUNE, NEW DELHI, MAY 10, 2012
Divine merchants
Godmen and religious gurus like Nirmal Baba and Dinakaran Paul being exposed is the proverbial tip of an iceberg. The grim situation has built a strong aversion to self-styled godmen, astrologers, palmists, numerologists, sooth-sayers and other cognate persons and entities working in innumerable forms. These uncouth people perpetrate a very subtle, systemic, insidious design among unsuspecting, credulous, gullible and feeble-minded persons or those who are rapacious and desperate for worldly attainments.
The scourge is deep-seated and widespread. It calls for well-concerted and incessant endeavors from the rationalists. Superstition in any form and style is anathema to human dignity and existence.
Dr RAJENDER GOYAL, Bahadurgarh
