Prayers in Jaipur | May 14, 2008

Jaipur has suffered horrible attacks from extremists in ruthless bombings timed and orchestrated to cause the greatest possible loss of life and injury to innocents. Near crowded temples to coincide with the celebration of Lord Hanuman, and in the surrounding bazaars and market places.

Of course we decry the brutal and bestial mind that possesses the perpetrators. The Economic Times reports on developments and investigations.

In the mean time, lifelong, saintly activist Shrivatsa Goswami remains in Jaipur to offer prayers and comfort.

Here is what Shrivatsa writes to a fellow scholar in the States who wrote Shrivatsa with concern:

I am giving Bhagavata katha in Jaipur and we gathered even today despite the curfew to pray for the departed and help the suffering families. The day was peaceful and the anger did not translate into retalliation and that is what the hindu leaders here have apealed to the citizens of Jaipur. Like Varanasi, Jaipur will prove its sanity and maturity to the disbelief of media--who are very much disappointed for lack of violence.

Please pray for Shrivatsa, for all who seek to give comfort and solace, for all who suffer, and for all who champion interreligious understanding and harmony in our violent and dangerous times.
