Some 91 pilgrims have been killed in a stampede near a Hindu temple in central India, local officials have said.
Worshiping idols at Ratangarh temple in India brought curses down on the area. 89 people perished.
Thousands had gathered at the Ratangarh temple, about 60km from Datia town in Madhya Pradesh state, for a religious festival.
Panic broke out as crowds of pilgrims tried to cross a bridge on the Sindh river, near the shrine.
Most of the victims were killed in the stampede, while others drowned after jumping off the bridge.
Local devotee Atul Chaudhary, who survived the crush, told BBC Hindi there were a couple of thousand people on the bridge.
He heard screams, and people began rushing to get off the bridge.
“Several people could be seen flattened to the ground in the midst of the melee,” he said.
“Some of the youngsters panicked and jumped into the swollen river.
There is no excuse for idol worship. For the last 3.000 years the Bible has been available. The Hebrew Bible clearly say that God hates idol worship. All who continue to worship idols will face judgment, and will have to spend eternity in hell.
Psalm 31:6
I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the Lord.
The problem, is that many people have never read the Bible. Nor have they met an evangelical Christian, who have warned about the coming judgment for all who practice idolatry.
Revelation 9:20
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshipping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
Curses is passed on from the parents to their children. You need to break free from these kind of curses, by begging the living God for mercy. Even if your own family members try to curse you, and try to block you from getting a hand on a Bible, you will have to overcome such evil. It is better to run away form home, than to stay put in the devils dent.
Seek Jesus the Messiah and you will find Him. Knock, and He will open the door for You. Amen.
Indian Activist Narendra Dabholkar, who was running a successful anti-superstition movement in Western India, was shot dead in Pune on Tuesday morning.
Narendra Dabholkar opposed religious fanatics, and had to pay the ultimate price.
Dabholkar was alone on a morning walk near Omkareshwar temple when unidentified persons on a motorbike fired at him and fled. Four bullets were fired at Dabholkar in the neck and he died on the spot, said Pune police commissioner Gulabrao Pol. Police have managed to get the registration number of the bike used by the assailants.
The activist was campaigning to persuade the state government to pass an anti-superstition and black magic bill. But the bill was opposed by hardline Hindu groups like Warakari Sanghatana and Sanatan Prabhat on the ground that it hurt their religious sentiments.
He headed the Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (committee for eradication of blind faith), an organisation with the aim to promote rational thought and scientific temper.
Dabholkar had authored several books and was the editor of progressive magazine Sadhana.
“He believed in non-violence,” said Dabholkar’s daughter Mukta Patwardhan. “He had not sought any security.”
Maharashtra home minister RR Patil condemned the killing of Dabholkar.
“Dabholkar represented a progressive movement in the state,” said Patil.
“Our priority right now is to catch and punish the murderers.”
Dabholkar is survived by his wife, daughter and son Hamid.
It is not correct to blame any particular religious groups for the murder of Narendra Dabholkar. But we know he was opposed by Hindu nationalist groups, who keep people in bondage to idolatry.
The Indian constitution do not favor any religious groups, and particular the religion of the majority in India, Hinduism. The Indian constitution promotes religious tolerance, and confirm India to be a secular, socialist republic.
As a Christian I regret the murder of this secular activist.
If I ever had meet Him, I would have shared the gospel about Jesus the Messiah with Him. Not forced him, not harmed him, and definitely not bribed him to share my faith.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
People can only come to the true faith in Jesus by conviction. Convicted by the Holy Spirit that they are sinners, and that the Messiah took their place on the cross at Calvary Hill in Jerusalem.
The wrath of God of the Bible will be poured out on all idol worshipers. The Kedarnath Temple in India became a watery grave for more than 120 people.
Not even Shiva could rescue him self from the wrath of God of the Bible.
The Army, which has been at the forefront of rescueoperation in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand, today rescued 1000 people in mountains between Gaurikund and Rambara in Kedarnath.
May be as many as 1000 Hindu pilgrims perished around this Temple.The monsoon targeted the idols, and killed hundreds of idol worshipers.The Temple area became a distaster zone.Temples with idols are not serving God, but the devil.All men who put their trust in idols will perish.
Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna has said that 550 people have died across the state; reports say 50,000 are still stranded. The government has warned that the death toll could rise dramatically as flood waters recede and rescue workers reach isolated areas.
Tens of thousands of Pilgrims travel up to this temple in the Himalayas.…to entertain temple priests, who now, hopefully, will be without their jobs.Like in the desert of Sinai, created beings are being worshiped. God of the Bible destroyed them all.
Rakesh Tewari, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Ukhimath, told reporters after his return from the Kedarnarth shrine on Monday that 50 bodies are lying in areas adjacent to the shine. Rescuers found 41 bodies floating in the Ganga at Haridwar on Friday morning.
My prayer is that hundred of millions of Hindus will be able to see that their gods can not even rescue them selves.
I pray that the Hindus will repent from their idolatry, and embrace the living God, Jesus of Nazareth.
The 16th of June became a nightmare for 100.000 Hindu pilgrims in the Himalaya.
The monsoon arrived almost one month earlier than normal, and a cloud burst over the mountain Kedar Dome, 6.831 meter above sea level.
Below, at around 3.584 meters, lies the Kedarnath Temple. In their thousands, idol worshipers from all over India was on their way up to worship their gods of stone and wood.
The flood waters washed away thousands of “pilgrims”. On saturday, the rescue workers found 123 dead bodies inside the Temple. The worshipers was probably clinking to their idols, then the wrath of the living God struck.
Behold: Read the Bible, and embrace the truth:
Exodus 20:4-6
‘You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
(end of scripture).
The Bible is crystal clear. God is jealous, and God brings punishment.
Still, in their hundreds of millions, idol worshipers will refuse to repent. Even when they are stricken by God’s cups of wrath.
Revelation 9:20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshipping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
Revelation 16:9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
Are you one of these fools, that will never accept the truth, refuse to repent, and have to spend eternity in Hell?
Man is a fool. The truth have been revealed to all flesh, but few are willing to obey.
Isaiah 44:16-18
Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says,
Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.’
From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, ‘Save me! You are my god!’
They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so that they cannot see, and their minds closed so that they cannot understand.
Be wise. Chose life. Jesus is alive, and he loves you. Amen.
India establish Central Monitoring System – a project that gives it access to everything its citizens do over the country’s communications services.
To get subsidized food in India, a poor man must give his biometric data.
Usually, people claiming their governments are spying on them are considered merely paranoids or conspiracy-lovers. But in the last several years, it has become hard to really tell the difference between those conspiracy theories and reality.
During the last couple of weeks, India’s government has started rolling out what it refers to as the Central Monitoring System – a project that gives it access to everything its citizens do over the country’s communications services. The system tracks phone calls, SMS and online activities like chats and e-mails, and gives authorities a way to easily monitor citizens.
Such systems aren’t a new idea. The U.S has been considering such an idea since September 11, and maybe even longer. The problem with India’s implementation, passed as a bill after the Mumbai bombing in 2008 and again in 2011, is the lack of rules to prevent what privacy advocates are calling an “abuse” of the system.
Many activists, both in India and abroad, are worried that the government will interpret the basic principle allowing it to use the tool for “reasonable security practices and procedures” as widely as it can, preventing anyone from criticizing it without facing allegations like treason or support of terrorism.
India, however, is not the only country trying to get the ability to monitor its citizens’ behavior on-line.
China and North Korea are the most known cases, blocking access to websites and logging all internet activity. It is believed the Chinese government even uses local tech companies exporting communications systems to other countries (i.e Huawei, ZTE) to spy on governments, companies and civilian life.
Last February, The Guardian uncovered a spying software developed for the U.S military in 2010 by Raytheon, called Rapid Information Overlay Technology (Riot). The software is able to track social network users, logging images, location etc. from Facebook, Twitter and other major internet services, mapping people’s travel habits and connections.
Late last month, Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein confirmed that security officials at Ben-Gurion Airport can order tourists give them access to their e-mail accounts, threatening them with denial of entry if they refuse.
In a letter sent to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), following a June 2012 scandal which led to fierce criticism on the government, Weinstein wrote the policy is backed up by law, and is only used in case of “relevant suspicious signs” and with the passengers’ consent. In response, Lila Margalit from ACRI said “Such ‘consent’ – given under threat of deportation – cannot serve as a basis for such a drastic invasion of privacy”.
It should not surprise anyone, that India takes the lead in the World in regards to electronic monitoring.
Inside India there are 300-400 million illiterate people. They can not read written messages in classical media. They need to be given AUDIO-messages, and instructed in details what do do.
To communicate with + 300 million people is impossible, without electronic transmission. And to be able to “talk to all”, they must all be tagged and be traceable.
For many India is chaotic, and not possible to monitor. That will change rapidly, when all Indians are electronically tagged. Even in their sleep, people will receive electronic impulses that comes as in the form of government approved visions and dreams.
The Indian government link electronic tagging to the access to basic provision. One million analog ration cards are replaced daily with the electronic AADHAAR card. If you do not and register online, and confine your self for registration of biometric data. you will not be able to buy subsidized cocking gas.
For the poorer section of the population in India, there are no other alternative than to get this card. If you do not accept this “electronic mark”, you will not get food. A hungry man will eventually not object, to be tagged with a small electronic stamp or mark.
Welcome to the days of the the final antichrist. His global system for total control is being built. The speed is highest in India.
