Generally, we should not get into religious controversies,but this is somewhat provoking.
South India's most respected Hindu Math , Kanchi Mutt is a very powerful institution.I
have been there thrice.The Temple,the mutt is timeless.

Yes agreed, as the channels claim, there is a strong evidence.
BUT There is a certain decorum to be maintained before arresting the head of such a big
organisation.Not just flagrantly barging into a mutt and arresting the Swamiji while performing
a puja.Why the hell didnt they do a "house arrest" like Uma Bharati or the bombay smuggler
(on whom Nayakan was based on ? ).
Why the hell did they have to take him to Vellore jail?
He has the duties of a swamiji to be perfomed , like performing a
puja to the idols which are hundreds of years old.
How can he perform pujas in prison ? Disgusting.

And those wise people who claim that "it is a victory of the indian judicial system", do
they have any idea about the age of the Kanchi Mutt itself ? It is hundreds of years older than
Indian Judiciary System itself.

Forget the person Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati himself.
But the POSITION demands a respect.Does anybody doubt that?
And by arresting the head of one of the most powerful Mutts
of the Hindu Community, they are directly attacking the sentiments
of many, many people.And this may lead to Vendetta and it is like
inviting more trouble.Not only that.The mutts , no matter how corrupt they
are , these mutts are the symbols of our roots.Every communtity has a mutt,
has a swamiji and the mutt tries to maintain the customs which are old and
precious, no matter how SENSELESS they may seem.

And showing all this on petty yellow journalism TV stories like
"Crime Story" is the limit.

I can only hope all this has a good ending and the swamiji is innocent
of this accusation.If anything happens to the swamiji in jail, the politicians
will face the wrath of all the hindus.
