QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2026
Q: Gurudev, Shankaracharya was acquitted today of all
the charges. Why a holy person like him had to undergo this ordeal? No
politician or media is saying sorry for it.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
They should say sorry for it. The politicians and
media should apologize. They did not do this to an individual, they have done
it to an institution. An institution which has been there for two thousand
years. And the head of institution, who represented the Sanatana Dharma (The
Hindu Faith) and so many people were disturbed for so many years. For nine
years it was long ordeal for a saint. But for him it was tapas. He doesn’t
mind. A saint never minds whether it is praise or blame, he smiles through it.
But for a system, for the faith of the people, it is a big question mark.
There are certain people who want to malign and take
away the faith of people. See if people have strong faith in religion and
spirituality, they don’t go and get into drug culture, or gun culture. People
who are devoted do not go for alcohol parties. These people want to sell their
products and so they always try to destroy anything spiritual and religious. It
is nothing new, from a long time this has been happening. So people who don’t
even kill mosquitoes or cockroaches, they put such serious charges on them. And
after nine long years it is proven that all 32 are innocent. Justice should not
be delayed. It should have happened immediately within six months. But it took
nine long years. Anyways truth will always triumph, and we must always have
faith in this.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
