They are the ones who participate in the funeral processions (ensuring genocides). They don’t ask who are you, instead, they ask what is your caste and religion. Identify them. Beware of them. Some of them are sitting in Delhi. Some of them are in Mumbai. Many others are there from the internet to jumbo jets. They are camouflaged in the color of Asaram. They are attending the Satsang of Ramdev. We just do voting. All they do is just setting.”

Amol Mitkari name Modi a copycat

This time he made enjoyable of the ‘Vaibhav Lakshmi’ pooja rituals. For those that are unaware, ‘Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat’ is a ritual held by Hindu ladies on Thursdays within the Margashirsha month. On the fifth Thursday, on the time of completion of the ritual, ladies do a grand pooja and it’s believed that the deity bestows her blessings upon the worshipper within the type of prosperity.

Mocking this ritual, Amol Mitkari mentioned, “Women are misled by these Kathas (stories) which are repeatedly read during these various Vrat Poojas. Now that the month of Margashirsha is started, Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat will be in full swing. A Thursday has already passed. My mother reads the story of Vaibhav Lakshmi since my childhood. It is believed that the Goddess Lakshmi becomes happy only after completing the Vrat task of five Thursdays and ensures prosperity in your life. The story is also very entertaining.” Hereafter Amol Mitkari began analyzing the non secular story on so-called trendy parameters.

He mentioned, “There was a town where lived a king The king had two queens. Look, here is a right for a man to keep two wives. Thanks to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who wrote the constitution, there is no such ill provision now. Recently a youth from Akluj (a nearby town) married two twin girls. Isn’t he charged now for the offense? He had to go to jail. Because Babasaheb Ambedkar wrote the constitution, no Hindu can marry a second wife when the first one is alive. But the religious story says something else. It says there was a town where lived a king, he had two queens and the king liked one of the queens while he disliked the other. So, it does not end with two queens, but then there is a categorization based on like and dislike. See what else is there in the religious story.”

Amol Mitkari additional mentioned as he laughed and mimicked the priest, “And this storybook of ‘Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat Katha’ is just for five rupees. If you want to do timepass buy these books. See what is written there. Shyam Baala was the beautiful daughter of the king. See what they write. They only write. We follow blindly. It has been like this for so many years. They write anything in these stories.”

Praising Sharad Pawar

Mitkari then quoted a Marathi saint Chokha Mela’s poetry meaning sugarcane is tough however sugar is good, equally, a devotee might be ill-learned however his feelings are pure. In the very subsequent sentence, he mentioned, “Don’t look at my external expression. I am loyal to Sharad Pawar and he only is our Lord Viththala. We are sons of farmers and we are most loyal. We are innocent people. We are descendants of Raja Bali who was deceived by Vamana. Vamana asked for three feet of land and Raja Bali agreed. He did not know that in two steps, Vamana will conquer the Earth and heavens. He did not know that he will put the third step on his head and will kill him. Today, these Vamanas are sitting in Mumbai and Delhi. They are killing the Bali Raja among us. See what kind of religious stories they have imposed on us.”

Throughout his discuss, Mitkari continued numerous Hindu practices like Jyotish, Pooja rituals, and so forth. within the identify of preaching progressive ideas.
