Sanatan Sanstha mentally prepares its seekers to face ban

Sanatan Sanstha, the Hindu right wing organisation under scanner for its alleged involvement in Margao bomb blast, is preparing its seekers psychologically to face ban on the institution.

"Whatever happens is out of god's will and consider that if there is a ban, it will be a will of god himself," founder, Sanatan Sanstha, Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale said today.

Athavale, who resides in Sanstha's Ashram at Ramnathi in the state, has carried a notice for the seekers in organisation's mouthpiece, Sanatan Prabhat.

He has said that the seekers are worried about the books, research and ashram with the state government proceeding for the ban.

Dr Athavale has appealed the seekers to react to the ban by opting for increased "namsmaran" (remembering god), prayer and spiritual practise.

Sanatan Prabhat has also carried a separate column suspecting whether they will be able to continue with the newspaper tomorrow.

"After the Margao blast on October 16, the demand for ban is increasing that's why we are not sure whether the issue will be published tomorrow," editor, Prithviraj Hazare said in a notice published today. Meanwhile, state home minister Ravi  Naik, in an interview to a local news channel on Monday had said that the state government was contemplating a ban on the institution.

Naik, admitting the intelligence failure to nip in the bud Margao blast conspiracy, had said that the state was studying Sanstha's literature and was closely monitoring their activities.
