That will most likely be one of the mysteries of India which National Geography would cover after 10-15 years

dharma has won. acharya has been vindicated

 

[gsrikanth]

We have won

Dharma has won. Acharya stands vindicated. Jaya Jaya Shankara.

They may not!!

But there will be any number of people who will doubt this verdict and throw mud at Shankaracharya. In any case, despite his aquittal his status has come down a few notches.

 

[Nara]

They may not!!

Why not? They may not get one, because of the powerful forces involved, but they are entitled to one, i.e. if we live in a truly democratic and free society. But we kid ourselves don't we, if we believe in such nonsense. The powerful always get away, even with murder, literally....

Why few notches..?? The moment he ranaway from the Mutt.. his credibility took the nose-dive...''ஓடிப் போன

சாமியார்"...His activities in the real estate dealings were not in the correct perspective for a Sanyasi..

We do not live in a truly democratic and free society . This is again a sad reality we need to live with .

I am not surprised by this verdict . The Investigative agencies are making the same mistakes time and again . If A and B are known enemies and if B is killed then they automatically come to the conclusion that only A could have done it .It is OK for normal people to think like that but not professional Investigative agencies .
If A and B are enemies then if B is killed then while they can have the suspicion on A but at the same time they must keep their minds open to other possibilities on finding whether B has any hidden enemies like C ( who are not known to the public ) , or a third Party like D who has no enemity with B but has a grudge against A and want to settle scores with him by killing B and letting A suffer the consequences for the same .

Professional Investigative agencies must be open to all these possibilities and rely purely on forensic evidence to nail the culprits in a Scientific manner without giving room for any bias .But most of the time due to pressure from the ruling establishment or pressure from Media or due to their own over enthusiasm in proving to the world they can solve this crime easily they jump in to hasty conclusions before hand and start investigating in only one particular direction and collect evidence in that direction only without exploring the other ways to first collect evidence from all possible angles and then go about nailing the culprits .
But Whether they will be really allowed to explore all angles freely and scientifically by the successive ruling establishment in all cases I do not know .

I feel that the Law of Karma will take its own mysterious course. Is there not a possibility that the family of Sankararaman is "enabled" to go in appeal? Only requirement is that such a course should be worthwhile.

Since I still hold on to the view that Chandrasekhara Saraswathy had managed somehow to create a new mutt at Kancheepuram and also make ready all the attendant paraphernalia like a guruparampara of 67 pontiffs adorning that (imaginary?) Peetham for a total of nearly 2500 years or more and possibly a Shankara Vijayam too to buttress his own views, I feel that the Law of Karma has already started working to dismantle the whole facade.

Shringeri mutt may be smiling!!

The respected Kanchi mutt head is going to Tirupati after hearing the verdict. Perhaps to tell Tiruvenkatamudaiyan the truth and to seek his pardon for renaming him Venkatasubramani once. LOL.

I envy the freedom an atheist/half atheist has in this forum. He can always get away with all this. But if I say anything like this, some one would have gone to the SM and sought my ouster from the forum and........yes, that would have been conceded, post haste, too. LOL.

It definitely can. I always think that a spiritual person's best period is always after his worst

This is what Dinamalar news says:

"தீர்ப்பு திருப்தி தரவில்லை :

கொலையான சங்கரராமனின் மகன் ஆனந்த்சர்மா கூறுகையில், இந்த தீர்ப்பு திருப்திதரவில்லை. என் தந்தை தானாக கொலை செய்து

கொள்ளவில்லை. சிலர் வந்து வெட்டி கொலை செய்துள்ளனர். இந்நிலையில், குற்றம் சாட்டப்பட்டவர்களில் ஒரு சிலருக்காவது

தண்டனை கிடைத்திருந்தால் இந்த தீர்ப்பை நம்பலாம். ஆனால், யாருக்கும் தண்டனை வழங்கப்படவில்லை. எனவே, இந்த தீர்ப்பில்

எனக்கு நம்பிக்கை இல்லை. அடுத்த கட்ட நடவடிக்கை குறித்து இதுவரை முடிவு செய்யவில்லை. குடும்பத்தினருடன் பேசி, அது

குறித்து முடிவு எடுக்கப்படும், என்றார்.

மேல்முறையீடு :

சங்கரராமன் கொலை வழக்கில் புதுச்சேரி கோர்ட்டின் தீர்ப்பை எதிர்த்து மேல்முறையீடு செய்ய முடிவு செய்திரப்பதாக அரசு தரப்பு

வழக்கிறஞர் தேவதாஸ் தெரிவித்துள்ளார். தமிழக அரசுடன் ஆலோசனை செய்த பிறகு மேல்முறையீடு செய்யப்படும் எனவும்,

சங்கரராமன் குடும்பத்தாரின் பிறழ் சாட்சியமே குற்றவாளிகள் 23 பேரின் விடுதலைக்கு காரணம் எனவும் தேவதாஸ் கூறி உள்ளார்."

The deity in Tirumala temple was at one believed to be subramanya. There are some literary evidences for this I am told.
