Religious Keepers... where are you ?



In this emergency where are the religious keepers, the missionaries the temples, churches, mosques.  Why are they not serving food to the poor, opening their doors to serve as hospitals of COVID-19 patients. A country of India is not short on places of brick or stone mortar. Is it not ideal to use such places & their funds for public welfare?

The so called abode of God earn a lot throughout the year from people who visit them & offer their donations. Where is all this money? Recently I heard one of the famous temple from South India is sacking their staff on contract as the income has gone down in COVID-19 scenario. So, we are in a time even GOD (or GOD keepers) is fearing COVID-19. Religion which was created to provide solace & discipline to Human Life, has long been a strong weapon of divide in the society. Now, it is assessing the profits & losses to run the show. Still after this emergency people will run to these places to practice & pay their Dharam. Perhaps Blood Jihad will still continue to book a place in Jannat.

Some State Government have asked Schools to open their door to provide shelter to street people in COVID-19 scenario. Private Hotels have come up to provide shelter to the Medical Teams attending COVID-19 patients. But we cannot ask the Abodes of God & their Missionaries to open up.

It is up to people to decide after they have witnessed this historic event, whether they keep visiting, paying & encouraging these Profit Merchants or practice their beliefs within their walls. No religion & its keepers care for their followers, they are ruthless Profit Makers (that too non-taxable income). 

We need to face the mirror, remove the fear & helplessness in us & get rid of this age old FRANKESTEIN.
