The other side of DMK

Southern Spice

Chennai Corner

How long can Azhagiri be a non-resident minister who spends more time in TN? Last time Kalignar banished him to Madurai because of his errant ways, he bloomed, but what is his father’s solution to his simmering resentment now?

Pushpa Iyengar

A Mahabharat in the making

For years, deputy CM Stalin has been going to London every year, reportedly for a health check-up. Why he has to cross the seven seas, when Chennai is seen as a medical health destination, only lends credence to all the rumours about the state of his health. Just back from a 12-day trip, Stalin (who was accompanied by wife, Durga, and son, Udayanidhi) said his trip was personal: “There is nothing official and I did not go on behalf of the state government.”

Stalin, who is expected to take over from his father when the time comes, is going to have to fend off another contender, his brother Azhagiri. There was no love lost between the two brothers till last year when the patriarch CM Karunanidhi had a Kodak moment after his two sons appeared to come together and even brought grand nephew, Dayanidhi Maran, into the family fold after the latter spent a year in the wilderness. The whole togetherness took a life of its own after the DMK notched up a huge Lok Sabha victory in May this year. Stalin became Deputy CM and Azhagiri an union minister.

Only, Azhagiri is feeling like a fish out of water in Delhi. Azhagiri, used to being supreme in Madurai, out of sync with chemicals and fertilizers, Delhi’s culture, not to mention Hindi and English, is getting homesick. How long can he be a non-resident minister who spends more time in TN? Last time Kalignar banished him to Madurai because of his errant ways, Azhagiri bloomed, but what is his father’s solution to Azhagiri’s simmering resentment now?

Started with a bang, ended with a whimper

“I am not joining the Congress or the DMK. At present I want to concentrate on films.” That was actor Vijay who has never made a secret of his political plans. No matter how actor Vijay dressed it up, after all the hype over his meeting Rahul Gandhi, there’s no easy way to put it other than saying he backed out because he got cold feet. If you are in a popularity contest, which by definition all actors are, you cannot afford to offend anyone. With his film Vettaikaran set for a Diwali release, Vijay could not overlook the dark suggestions from both the Congress and DMK camps, reminding him that his last three films – ATM, Kuruvi and Villu – had bombed at the box office. So, he decided discretion was the better part of valour.

Apart from the DMK cadre arm-twisting him on his return from Delhi, after the meeting with Rahul, the actor returned to be confronted by anti-Vijay posters. Now after superstar Rajnikanth, Vijay is believed to be on top when it comes to overseas markets where viewer ship for Tamil cinema is largely taken from the Sri Lankan Tamils settled all over the globe. And it is elementary that Tamils blame the Congress for the annihilation of the LTTE leader Prabhakaran. The Tamil Toronto Association made it clear that Vettaikaran would be boycotted, should Vijay follow through with his plans after meeting Rahul. So he called a press conference after Rahul Gandhi’s visit to this state to air his pro-Tamill credentials. “In the future I will join hands with a government that will work for the welfare of the Tamils,” he said. His movement Makkal Iyakkam stays, though he chose to be evasive now about using it to further his political plans. Actually, Vijay married to a Sri Lankan Tamil, had gone on a fast protesting the witchhunt against Tamils, days before the LTTE was finished by the Sri Lankan army.

Vijay was therefore forced to strike a fine balance, matching his enthusiasm over the Rahul meeting (“He is a leader who brought about changes and ensured a great victory for the Congress in the Lok Sabha polls”) with the right noises about Karunanidhi (“He is functioning with the energy of a young man”). Talk of diplomacy.

Box Office Politics

Vijay, 36, who even confessed to clearing his schedule including cancelling his shooting to rush to Delhi when Rahul called him, has much to learn from Rajnikanth who is on the wrong side of 50. For years, the latter has got away with being namby pamby about his political intentions. Or the other way of looking at it is that Rajnikanth has learnt from the blunders of others -- look at megastar, Chiranjeevi, whose Telangana Praja Rajyam is sinking faster than a dud at the box office. He has also learnt from his own mistakes, for example, his solidarity with TN when the state embarked on a confrontationist path with Karnataka last year during the Hoganekkal controversy. Kannada chauvinists threatened to ban his film Kuselan till he delivered an abject apology. It’s another matter that Kuselan was not box office material. Rajni’s earlier forays into politics have also taught him to be circumspect even if his faithful fans have labelled him “confused” in their frustration. So when Rahul said all those who were not terrorists or criminals were welcome in the Congress, and the last time he looked, Rajnikanth was not one, it was a generous invitation by any standards. But since Rajni knows which side his bread is buttered (and is even slathered with jam), all he said was, “I thank Rahul Gandhi for the invite. As of now, I don’t have any plans to step into politics.” Notice that although another actor, Prabhu’s name came up as a potential Congressman, there was no hysteria? When you don’t make the box office register jingle, you don’t make waves in politics either.

Cops and footballs

Home minister P Chidambaram addressing Directors General of Police this week took objection to politicians treating them like footballs. But police officers treat their subordinates like footballs and even like menials sometimes. The recent case of the mysterious death of a state armed reserve police constable P Muralinath is an example. Muralinath was deputed by his Hyderabad-based boss, Vivek Dube, chief of Octopus (Andhra Pradesh’s anti-terror wing), to the Noida-based family of Dube to work as a driver. He ended up dead and his family claims Muralinath was harassed. Closer home, in Thiruvanamallai, police engaged for security duties because Deputy CM Stalin was coming for the family wedding of Arni MLA R Sivanandham last month ended up as waiters at the marriage feast of the legislator! Apparently, nearly 200 of them, including 40 women constables, were directed by their seniors to serve food. The irony was that it was a “self-respect marriage” – the weddings preferred by the so-called rationalists in the DMK. The first day the cops were in uniform and had to carry vessels of sambar and rice back and forth while serving, but on the next day they were asked to be waiters but in civilian clothes. “The ultimate humiliation was that the DMK cadre treated us like coolies in the presence of our bosses,” said a constable. Tut, tut!

Family Oriented Political Spectrum In India

The British effectively got rid of dynasties in India and India was headed towards being a true democracy with elected officials. India is the largest democracy in the world. India has the biggest number of people with franchise rights and the largest number of political parties, which take part in election campaign. Though the British soon got rid of the dynasty, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a new dynasty came alive in India. A dynasty with such chosen few that even a great soul cannot break into its ranks.

We define dynasty politics as the growing practice of close relatives or family members of established politicians stepping into the political arena and making a mockery of democracy. The number of relatives attached to the politicians reminds me of Bollywood where the son or daughter turns out as an actor and talent is given least preference. Talent takes the back seat and bias rules.

India is a fast growing political dynasty, whether it is the Gandhis, Karunanidhis or the Scindias. All you got to possess is a big and famous name and then even with no prior experience in governance or an age to match you can aspire to be the one calling the shots in a political party. But the question is what gives rise to dynasty politics in India. The political dynasties are perpetuated because voters vote them in and the party members elevate them to great heights.

Voters are now not able to distinguish between the party and the family name where individual merit is not considered important. The family name has now become synonymous with the party like the Gandhis associated with Congress or the Karunanidhi family associated with the DMK. Dynasty politics is an indicator of weak political systems, where politics is dominated by individuals rather than strong political institutions. We may lift our eyebrows thinking how by birth a person can be a successful politician. The only qualification you need to have is “Is your father, mother or relative a politician?” if the answer is yes, then you are the right candidate.

The fact remains that dynasty politics is an irony considering that India is the world’s largest democracy. Family members of politicians often get a good response among the public. The independent political members or the individual candidate fail to reach the audience as they get pushed away by dynasty politicians. Many a times they fail as the campaign and the press coverage associated with the party campaign demands money which they lack to gather.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Rape In The Bible

Rape is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable. Yet few people know that the Bible often condones and even approves of rape. How anyone can get their moral guidance from a book that allows rape escapes me. Perhaps they have been lied to about the Bible and carefully detoured around all the nasty stuff in the Bible.

So grab your Bibles and follow along as I show you all the nasty rapes that your priests and preachers don't want to tell you about. Note that in many places in the Bible there are references to "taking a wife". Don't be fooled into thinking that these were voluntary marriages. This first quote clearly shows that murder and force were used to "take" these wives.

1) Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)

So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin." Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God's curse."

Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'" So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.

Obviously these women were repeatedly raped. These sick bastards killed and raped an entire town and then wanted more virgins, so they hid beside the road to kidnap and rape some more. How can anyone see this as anything but evil?

2) Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)

They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder. They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived. After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp. But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded. "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

Clearly Moses and God approves of rape of virgins.

3) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)

As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.

What kind of God approves of murder, rape, and slavery?

4) Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God.

5) Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)

If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.

It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is only concerned about the violation of another mans "property".

6) David's Punishment - Polygamy, Rape, Baby Killing, and God's "Forgiveness" (2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB)

Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'

Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die. But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die." [The child dies seven days later.]

This has got to be one of the sickest quotes of the Bible. God himself brings the completely innocent rape victims to the rapist. What kind of pathetic loser would do something so evil? And then he kills a child! This is sick, really sick!

7) Rape of Female Captives (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)

"When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion."

Once again God approves of forcible rape.

8) Rape and the Spoils of War (Judges 5:30 NAB)

They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate shawl or two for me in the spoil. (Judges 5:30 NAB)

9) Sex Slaves (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

10) God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)

Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)

சுமார் 3 லட்சம் ரூபாய் காருண்யா விடுதி கட்டக் கொடுப்பவர்களுக்கு இந்த தங்கசாவி அன்பளிப்பாக கொடுக்கப்படும். இது சாதாரண தங்கசாவி அல்ல. இந்த தங்க சாவியை உங்கள் ஸ்தாபனத்தில் அல்லது கடையில் மாட்டினால் இந்த சாவி பரலோகத்தில் உள்ள பணபொக்கிஷப் பெட்டியை திறந்து அதிலிருந்து பொக்கிஷத்தை எடுத்து உங்கள் வியாபாரத்தில் பணமாக கொட்டுமாம். அடுத்தது கிருபாசன தங்கப்பெட்டி இது காருண்யா வளாகத்தில் உள்ள பெதஸ்தாகுள மண்டபத்தில் வைக்கப்படுகிறது. இரவு காவல் காக்கும் வாட்ச்மேன் (Watch Man) கண்ட சொப்பனத்தில் இறங்கியதாக கூறப்பட்ட சகோ.தினகரனின் பழைய கதையில் நட்சத்திரம் விழுந்ததாக கூறப்பட்ட இடத்தில் கட்டப்பட்ட பெதஸ்தாகுளமும், மண்டபமும், கேள்விப் பட்டிருப்பீர்கள். அந்த பெதஸ்தாவின் மண்டபத்தில்தான் கிருபாசன பெட்டி வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. தங்கச்சாவியை 3லட்சம் கொடுத்து வாங்கியவர் தன் தாஸ்தாவேஜ்களின் காப்பி, அல்லது பத்திரங்கள் அல்லது வியாபார சம்பந்தமான முக்கிய ஆவணங்கள் ஆகியவற்றை இந்த பெட்டிக்குள் வைக்கவேண்டும். ஒருநாள் இவர்களின் தெய்வமான Mr.அருள்நாதர் அவர்கள் இந்த கிருபாசன பெட்டியில் உள்ளே வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் ஆவணங்களை பார்ப்பாராம். அவர் பார்வை விழுந்தவுடன் அந்த தாஸ்தாவேஜ்களையும், ஆவணங்களையும் திரும்ப எடுத்துக்கொள்ளலாம் போலும்!. அதன்பின் இவர்கள் வியாபாரம் பன்மடங்கு செழிக்கும். அந்த கிருபாசனத்தில் எழுதி வைத்த ஜெபக் குறிப்புகளின்படி சகலமும் கிடைக்கும். இந்த வியாபார தந்திரம் எப்படி?. இப்படி ஒரு ஏமாற்றுத் திட்டம்

அமெரிக்க ஊழியர்களுக்குக் கூட உதிக்கவில்லை. இப்படிப்பட்ட திட்டம் MBA மூளையிலிருந்து வந்ததா? இல்லை பேங்க் வேலை அனுபவத்தின் மூளையிலிருந்து உதித்தா? தெரியவில்லை!. என்றாலும் கர்த்தர் சொன்னார் என்ற பாதுகாப்பு போர்வை இவர்களுக்கு உண்டு. அப்படிக் கூறிவிட்டால் யாரும் கேள்வி கேட்க முடியாது என்பது இவர்களின் தைரியம். சாதாரண மக்கள் இங்கு காணப்படும் படத்தில் உள்ள அந்த தங்கசாவியையும், கிருபாசனப் பெட்டியையும் உங்கள் கண்களால் மட்டும் பார்த்து திருப்திபட்டுக் கொள்ளுங்கள். 3லட்சம், 6லட்சம் என்று பெரும் தொகை கொடுத்து உங்களால் அந்த தங்கசாவியை வாங்கமுடியாது. இந்த ஏமாற்று திட்டத்தில் முதல்முதல் விழுந்தவர் ஒரு மலையாளி என்பது வெட்கப்படக் கூடிய காரியம். பொதுவாக கேரளாவில் படித்தவர்கள் பெரும்பான்மையாக இருக்கிற மாநிலம் என்ற நல்ல பெயர் உண்டு. எளிதில் பண விஷயத்தில் மலையாளிகள் ஏமார்ந்து போகமாட்டார்கள். அதனால்தான் சபரி மலை தீபம் கடவுளால் காட்டப்படுவதல்ல என்று கேரளா சட்ட சபையில் அன்றைய முதல் மந்திரி திரு.நாயனார் அவர்கள் தன் பங்குக்கு உண்மையை தெளிவாக கூறிவிட்டார். அது மனிதர்களால் காட்டப்படும் ஜோதி என்பது கேரளா மக்களுக்கு நன்றாகத் தெரியும். அதனால்தான் சபரி மலைக்கு மலையாளிகளைவிட நம் தமிழ் நாட்டு மக்களும், ஆந்திரா மக்களும் பெருவாரியாக சென்று ஏமாந்து திரும்புகிறார்கள். அப்படியிருக்க இந்த தங்கசாவி விஷயத்தில் மட்டும் முதலில் ஏமாந்தது ஒரு மலையாளி ஆவார். இப்படிப்பட்ட கிறிஸ்தவர்களை என்ன செய்வது? பிசாசு இவர்கள் கண்களை குருடாக்கிப் போட்டான் என்று வேத வசனம் கூறுகிறதை போல இவருடைய கண்களையும், சிந்திக்கும் தன்மையையும் குருடாக்கி போட்டானோ? முன்பு எழுதியதைப் போல தங்கசாவி வாங்கியதாலும் கிருபாசன பெட்டியில் தாஸ்தாவேஜ்களை இட்டதாலும் கர்த்தர் என் தாஸ்தாவேஜ்களைக் கண்டார். அதனால் நான் புது மில் வாங்கினேன். புது நிலம் வாங்கினேன், மேலும் இரண்டு புதிய தொழில்கள் தொடங்கினேன் என்று புகைப்படத்துடன் சாட்சிகள் இயேசு அழைக்கிறார் பத்திரிக்கையிலும், T.Vயிலும் வரபோகும் நாட்களில் காண்பீர்கள்.

ஏமாந்து போகவேண்டாம். சகோ.தினகரன் பணவிசயத்தில் விழுந்துபோக காரணம் பல வருடகாலங்களாக சகோ.தினகரனும், மகன் பால்தினகரனும் தமிழ் நாட்டில் மிகப்பெரிய அற்புத ஊழியர்களாக எழும்பி பிரகசித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். சகோ.தினகரனின் ஆரம்ப ஊழியம் மிகச் சிறப்பானது. தேவன் ஒரு வித்தியாசமான அதே சமயம் எல்லாரையும் கவரக் கூடியதும் எல்லா வகை மக்களுக்கும், ஊழியர்களுக்கும், புற ஜாதி மக்களுக்கும் பிரயோஜனமாக அமையக் கூடிய, மிக வித்தியசமான பிரசங்க தாலந்தை கர்த்தர் அவருக்கு அளித்தார்.

வரங்களும் கிரியை செய்ய ஆரம்பித்தது. அதிலேயே நின்றிருந்தால் உலகிலேயே முன்மாதிரியுள்ள மிகச் சிறந்த ஊழியராக சகோ.தினகரன் விளங்கியிருப்பார். பண ஆசை வளர்ந்தது: பிள்ளைகளின் பிற்கால வாழ்க்கைக்கான காரியங்களை சிந்திக்க தொடங்கினார். ஊழியம் செய்து கொண்டே மகன் பால்தினகரன் அவர்களை MBA படிக்கவைத்தார். தன்மனதில் உள்ள திட்டத்தை யாரும் அறியாது சில காலம் மறைத்து வைத்து வெளிப்பட்டதுதான் காருண்யா பல்கலைக் கழகமாக வெளிவந்தது. ஏழைக்களுக்காகவே கல்லூரி ஆரம்பிப்பதாக வெளியரங்கமாகவே பொய்ப் பிரசாரம் செய்தார். மக்கள் ஏமாந்தார்கள். ஆனால் எல்லாரும் ஏமாறவில்லை. ஆகவே இவர் எதிர்ப்பார்த்த பெரும் பணத்தொகை வந்து சேரவில்லை. பேங்க் மூலம் கடன் வாங்க முயன்றார். தமிழ்நாட்டில் எந்த பேங்கும் அத்தனை பெரும்தொகையை கொடுக்க முன்வரவில்லை. முடிவாக கர்நாடகாவில் உள்ள மங்களுர் என்ற ஊரிலுள்ள தலைமை பேங்க் அதிக வட்டிக்கு பெரும்தொகையை கடனாக வழங்க முன் வந்தது. அந்த பணத்தை நேரில் சென்று வாங்க பயணம் செய்யும்போதுதான் கார் விபத்தில் தன் ஒரே மகளை இழந்தார். பணம் கிடைத்தது. ஆனால் வட்டி கட்டமுடியவில்லை. எதிர்பார்த்த வழிகளில் எல்லாம் பணம் பெற முடியாததால் வட்டி அடைக்க இயலவில்லை. இப்போதுதான் பணம்பெற புதுப் புது பெரும் திட்டங்களை கர்த்தர் சொன்னார் என்ற பெயரில் அறிவிக்க தொடங்கினார். அதில் ஒன்றுதான் இளம்பங்காளர் திட்டம். அதை தொடர்ந்து திருமணத்திட்டம் போன்ற ஏராளமான திட்டங்களும், டி.வி கிளப் மூலமும் பணம் குவிய தொடங்கியது. எஸ்தர் ஜெபக்குழு மூலமும் பணம் வந்து சேர்ந்தது. கல்லூரிக்காக, பணத்துக்காக, மகனுக்காக கல்லூரியை மேன்மைப்படுத்த எதைசெய்யவும் துணிந்தார். அதில் ஒன்றுதான் காஞ்சி சங்கராச்சாரியாரை இந்து ஆலயத்துக்குள்ளே சென்று தொழுது, பூஜைசாமான்களை அவருக்கு பரிசாக அளித்தார். மந்திரியின் ஒருகையெழுத்து பெற சங்காரச்சாரியின் சிபாரிசு தேவையாக இருந்தது. அந்த சிபாரிசு பெற அவர் கையாண்ட வழிகள் பல ஆகும். கர்த்தரின் மனம் நோக செய்யும் பல செயல்களில் துணிந்து சகோ.தினகரனும், பால்தினகரனும் இறங்கினார். கிறிஸ்தவ உலகம் திகைத்து நின்றது. என்றாலும் இப்படிப்பட்ட தவறான செயலையும் நம்புதவற்கு கிறிஸ்தவர்களில் ஒரு கூட்டம் உண்டே. இந்த சூழ்நிலையில்தான் இந்தியாவில் ஆட்சி மாறியது புது மந்திரிகள் வந்தார்கள். ஒரு வழியாக சுயநிதி கல்லூரியாகவும் பல்கலைக் கழகமாகவும் காருண்யா கல்லூரி உயர்வு பெற்றது. உயர்வு பெறப்பெற தவறுகளும் பண ஆசையும் கூடவே பெருக ஆரம்பித்தது. பல கோடி ரூபாய்கள் கொடுத்து சென்னையில் மிகப் பெரிய வியாபார பல மாடி கட்டிடங்களையும், வேறு பல இடங்களில் பல பெரிய கட்டிடங்களை விலைக்கு வாங்கினார்கள். வெளிநாடுகளிலும், இந்தியாவிலும் பல புதிய கவர்ச்சித் திட்டங்கள் மூலம் கல்லூரிக்கு பணம் கிடைக்க வழி உண்டாக்கினார்கள். அந்த முறையில் பணம் பெரும் ஏமாற்று வழியாக சமீபத்தில் ஆரம்பிக்கப்பட்டதுதான் தங்கசாவி – கிருபாசன பெட்டி திட்டமும் ஆகும். இதில் பெரும்பணம் வைத்திருக்கும் முதலாளிகளை மனதில் கொண்டு, அப்படிப்பட்ட பணக்காரர்களை கவரும் வண்ணம், அதே கர்த்தரின் பெயரில் திட்டங்களை வெளியிட்டார்கள். ஆரம்பத்தில் நான் குறிப்பிட்டப்படி மிக நல்ல சிறந்த கர்த்தருடைய ஊழியனாகத்தான் தன் ஊழியத்தை சகோ.தினகரன் ஆரம்பித்தார். சகோ.தினகரன் பண விஷயத்தில் மிக உண்மையுள்ள வராக இருந்தார். உதாரணத்துக்கு ஒரு சம்பவம் கூறுகிறேன். செங்கோட்டையில் இயேசு அழைக்கிறார் கூட்டம் 1974ம் ஆண்டு மார்ச் மாதம் நடந்தது. AOG சபைதலைவர் பாஸ்டர்.ஜெயராஜ், சகோ.சாமுவேல் கணேசன் அவர்கள் பெறுப்பெடுத்து பொது மைதானத்தில் அந்தக் கூட்டத்தை நடத்தினார்கள். 3வது நாள் சகோ.சாமுவேல் கணேசன் ஆகியவர்கள் காணிக்கை வரவு மிக குறைவாக இருப்பதால் மைக்செட்காரனுக்குக்கூட வாடகைப் பணம் கொடுக்கமுடியாமல் போகும் நிலை உள்ளது. ஆகவே, காணிக்கை பாட்டுக்கு முன் சகோ.தினகரனை கூட்ட செலவுக்கு பணத்தேவை அதிகமாக இருக்கிறது. ஆகவே காணிக்கையை தாராளமாக போட்டு உதவுங்கள் என்று ஒரு வார்த்தை அவரை அறிவிக்க சொல்லுங்கள் என்று என்னிடம் கேட்டுக் கொண்டார். பாஸ்டர்.ஜெயராஜ் அவர்களும் கூறினார். ஆனால் எனக்குத் தெரியும் சகோ.தினகரன் அன்றைய நாட்களில் தன்னுடைய எந்த ஊழியத்துக்கும், தன் பத்திரிக்கையிலோ, கூட்டங்களிலோ ஒரு வார்த்தையும் பணம் தேவை என்று அறிவித்ததில்லை. அறிவிக்கமாட்டார் என்றாலும் சகோ.சாமுவேல் கணேசன் அவர்களின் நிர்பந்தத்தால் தயங்கித் தயங்கி சகோ.தினகரனிடம் பண விவரத்தை கூறினேன். அப்போது அவர் மிகவும் சோர்ந்து போனார். உங்களுக்கே தெரியும் நான் என் ஊழியத்தில் எதற்கும் இதுவரை பணம் கேட்டதில்லை என்று அப்படியிருக்க என்னை வற்புறுத்த வேண்டாம் என்றார். மேலும் நாம் இதுவரை பல்வேறு நகரங்களில் நடத்தின கூட்டங்களில் செய்த செலவுக்குமேல் அதிகமாகத்தான் காணிக்கை பணம் சேர்ந்துள்ளது. கூட்டம் நடத்தியவர் யாரும் கடன்காரர்களாக்க நம் கர்த்தர் அனுமதித்ததில்லை. அப்படிப்பட்ட அனுபவத்தில் நம் ஊழியம் நடந்து கொண்டு இருக்கும்போது நான் எப்படி பணம் போதவில்லை என்று ஜனங்களிடம் கேட்பேன் என்றார். அன்று சனிக்கிழமை பகலிலேயே பேங்க் சென்று தன்னுடைய சொந்தப் பணத்தை எடுத்து பாடல் குழுவினர், ஊழியம் செய்ய வந்தவர் அனைவருக்கும் பணம் கொடுத்து செட்டில் செய்துவிடும்படி என்னிடம் பணத்தை ஒப்படைத்தார். இந்த கூட்ட காணிக்கையிலிருந்து ஒரு காசும் நமக்கு வேண்டாம் என்று திட்டமாகவும் கோபத்துடனும் கூறி அப்படியே செயல்பட்டார். அன்று காணிக்கைக்கு வந்த ஒரு கோழி முட்டையை நான் ஏலத்தில் விட்டபோது ஒரே ஒரு முட்டையை 740 ரூபாய்க்கு ஏலத்தில் எடுத்தார்கள். அந்த அளவு யாரிடமும் பணம் கேட்காமல் ஊழியம் நடத்தி எல்லாருக்கும் மாதிரியாக இருந்த தினகரனா? பண விஷயத்தில் இத்தனை மோசமாக விழுந்துபோனார்! சில வருடங்களாக நடந்த கூட்டங்களில் பிரசங்க நேரத்தைவிட பண விஷயத்தை பற்றி பேசும் நேரம்தான் மிக அதிகமாக இருந்தது. அதே நிலை இப்போதும் இயேசு அழைக்கிறார் கூட்டங்களில் காணப்படுவதை குறித்து மக்கள் பரவலாக பேசுகிறார்கள். அதுவும் தகப்பன்.தினகரனும், மகன்.பால்தினகரனும் இளம்பங்காளர் போன்ற பொய் திட்டங்களுக்கு ஒவ்வொரு கூட்ட ஆரம்பத்திலும் பணம் கேட்பது பலர் தங்கள் முகம் சுளிக்க காரணமானது. பண விஷயத்தில் இப்படி முன்மாதிரியாக இருந்த சகோ.தினகரன் இன்று பண ஆசையில் விழுந்து தேவனையும் விட்டுப் பிரிந்து கர்த்தர் சொன்னார் என்ற பெயரில் பல பொய்யான திட்டங்களை வெளியிட்டு கோடிக்கோடியாக பணத்தைப் பெற்று பலமாடி கட்டிடங்களை வாங்கிக் குவித்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறார். பண ஆசை எல்லா தீமைக்கும் வேராக இருக்கிறது என்று பவுல் கூறுகிறார். இதோ தங்கச்சாவியும், கிருபாசன பெட்டியுமே அதற்கு சான்றாகும். இந்த பண ஆசை சகோ.தினகரனையும், பால்தினகரனையும் எப்படியெல்லாம் துணிக்கரப் பொய்களை பேச வைத்துள்ளதை தொடர்ந்து படித்து அறிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். கர்த்தர் பெயரில் பொய் சகோ.தினகரன் அவர்கள் இப்படி பணத்துக்காக கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக வசனத்தை விட்டு விலகிப் போவதை எங்களில் சிலர் கண்ணால் கண்டு கலங்கி நின்றோம். அவருக்கும் தெரியாமல் நண்பர்கள் 3 பேராக நாங்கள் இணைந்து அழுது ஜெபித்தோம். ஆனால் சகோ.தினகரனின் இருதயமோ மேலும் கடினமானது. மகளின் அகால மரணம் மூலம் கர்த்தர் பேசி பார்த்தார். மகளின் இழப்பு அவருக்குள் கர்த்தரின்மேல் வெறுப்பைத்தான் கூட்டின. அதனால் மனம் கடினமானது. தன் மனம் கடினப்பட்டதையும் தேவன்மேல் தான் வெருப்புற்றதையும் சொந்த குடும்பத்தினர் போலும் அறியவில்லை. காரணம், அவரின் ஜெப வாழ்க்கை, வேத வாசிப்பு யாவும் வழக்கம்போலக் காணப்பட்டது. பிரசங்கத்திலும் மன உருக்க பிரசங்கம் வழக்கம்போல் காணப்பட்டது. ஆனால் அவரின் இருதயமோ கர்த்தரை விட்டு வெகு தூரம் விலகி விலகி போய்க் கொண்டேயிருக்கிறது. தான் பேசும் பொய்யான தீர்க்கதரிசன வழியை தன் மகனுக்கும் கற்றுக் கொடுத்தார். எத்தனையோ வருடங்கள் வசனத்தில் மிக தெளிவாக இருந்த தன் மனைவியான திருமதி.ஸ்டெல்லா தினகரன் அவர்களைகூட தன் தவறான வழிக்கு சகோ.தினகரன் திருப்பிவிட்டார். மருமகளின் நிலையும் அப்படியே. இதன் உச்சக்கட்டமாக பேரன், பேத்திகளைகூட சிறு வயதிலேயே பொய்யான தீர்க்கதரிசனம் கூறவும், பொது இடங்களில் ஜெபிக்கவும் பழக்கி அவர்கள் மூலமாக சுகமளிக்கவும், பரிசுத்த ஆவியின் நிரப்புதலும் கிடைப்பதாக அறிவித்தார்கள். 3வயது பிள்ளையைக்கொண்டு கர்த்தர் அற்புதங்களை நடப்பிப்பதாகக் கூறி பேரப் பிள்ளைகளையும்கூட தகப்பனும் மகனும் ஊக்கப் படுத்திவிட்டார்கள். இதன் ஆபத்தை உணர்ந்துதான் இதைத் துணிந்து செய்கிறார்களோ! அல்லது தெரியாமல் செய்கிறார்களோ! என்று பெரிய ஊழியர்கள் கூட பெரிதும் மனம் உடைந்து பேசியதை கேட்டேன். இப்போது நான் கூறப்போவதை நீங்கள் யாரும் நம்பவே முடியாது. கிறிஸ்தவர்களும், புறமதத்தினர்களும்கூட நம்பமாட்டார்கள். ஆனால் இதை நம்பித்தான் ஆகவேண்டும் என்று நடந்த உண்மையை நான் கூறுகிறேன். சகோ.தினகரன் அவர்கள் வேதவசனத்தை புரட்டி பரலோகத்தில் மரித்த ஆவிகளுடன் பேசுகிறார். ஆனால் அவைகள் மரித்த ஆவிகள் அல்ல பிசாசுகள். பரலோகத்திற்கு சுற்றுலா (டூர்) போல அடிக்கடி போய் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறதாக அறிவிக்கிறார். சகோ.தினகரனின் மிகப்பெரிய வேத விபரீதம் அதாவது சகோ.தினகரனுக்கு பிறந்த முதல்மகன் குழந்தை பருவத்திலேயே பிறந்த உடனேயே இறந்துபோனது. இப்போது அந்தக் குழந்தையை காண சகோ.தினகரன் அடிக்கடி பரலோகம் போகிறாராம். அதைக் குறித்து விவரிக்கும்போது இப்போது அந்த குழந்தை பரலோகத்தில் சாப்பிட்டு வளர்ந்து நல்ல வாட்டசாட்டமான வாலிபனாக, பால் தினகரனைவிட உயரமாக வளர்ந்துவிட்டான். அந்த நிலையில் மரித்த அந்த மகனை காணுவதன் மூலம் அவன் மரித்தான் என்ற வேதனையை என்னை விட்டு நீங்கச் செய்ய, கர்த்தர் என்னை ஆறுதல் படுத்த, அவனை எனக்கு கர்த்தர் அடிக்கடி காட்டுகிறார். கொஞ்ச நேரம் அவனோடு பேசிவிட்டு பிறகு பூலோகத்துக்கு திரும்புவேன். அந்த அனுபவம் எத்தனை பரவசம் இப்படி பேசி பகிர்ந்து கொண்டதைக் கேட்ட ஆவிக்குரிய சிலர் மிகவும் மன வேதனையுடன் சகோ.தினகரன் இப்படி மாறுவார். இந்த அளவு வசனத்தை விட்டு விலகுவார் என்று நாங்கள் யாரும் நினைக்கவேயில்லை! என்று கண் கலங்க கூறினார்கள். வாசகர்களே! என்ன நினைக்கிறீர்கள்? நிலைமை மிக மோசமாகிக் கொண்டே போகிறது இல்லையா? தங்கசாவி, கிருபாசனப் பெட்டி, இவற்றொடு செத்துப்போன மகள் வீட்டுக்குவந்து தன்னோடு சொன்னால்தான் ஊழியத்துக்குப் புறப்படுவது, செத்துப்போன மகள் செய்யும் அற்புதங்கள். செத்துப்போன முதல் குழந்தை வளர்ந்து வாலிபனாக பரலோகத்தில் காணப்படுவது அவனோடு இவர் பேசிவிருவது இப்படிப்பட்ட விஷயங்களை எங்காவது கேட்டதுண்டா? வேத வசனத்தில் எந்த மூலையிலாவது இப்படிப்பட்ட விஷயங்களை யாராவது காணமுடியுமா? சகோ.தினகரனும், பால்தினகரனும், இவர்களை சார்ந்த இயேசு அழைக்கிறார் ஸ்தாபனமும் செத்த ஆவிகளை தேடிப் போகிறது. பழைய ஏற்பாட்டு கால கிருபாசனத்தை புதிதாக அறிமுகப்படுத்துவது இவைகளை எந்த கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் நம்புகிறார்களோ அவர்கள் நிலைமை மிக மோசமாகும். கிறிஸ்தவ உலகில் உள்ள ஒரு பெரும் கூட்டத்தை வசனத்தைவிட்டு விலக்கி அழைத்துக்கொண்டு போக இயேசு அழைக்கிறார் குடும்பம் புறப்பட்டுவிட்டது. இன்னும் என்னென்ன சம்பங்களை, விபரீதங்களை கேள்விப்படபோகிறமோ! “நாங்கள் கண்டவைகளையும், கேட்டவைகளையும் பேசாமலிருக்க கூடாதே” – அப் 4:20 ( நன்றி: ஜாமக்காரன்
