Politics all around me, says Swami Paripurnananda

Externed saint Swami Paripurnananda on Saturday said that he has not joined politics, but politics is all around him. He made this comment after having a darshan of Lord of Simhachalam in Visakhapatanam on Saturday. He was referring to his externment from Hyderabad in the wake of the stir against commentator Kathi Mahesh, who insulted Lord Rama.

He said the students were suffering depression and frustration only because education and spirituality were divorced. He said the educational institutions should have a temple attached to them or the temple should be a seat of learning. He also said that if the archakas make mistakes in the service of the Lord, they would have to face the wrath of the God.
