Sanjay's Holy War

Sanjay Kishore Dadlani
Middlesex University Student Residing In The UK

Sanjay is an extremist who believes that he is waging a literal holy war against Sathya Sai Baba for his personal savior, Lord Krishna. On Sanjay's saiexposed420 Yahoo profile, his favorite quote is listed as:

Mam anusmara yudhya cha - Remember me and fight. -- Bhagavad-gita 8.7 (Reference).

This quote is directly in reference to the Kurukshetra War (if true, the bloodiest war in recorded history), in which alleged millions of men died in a matter of 18 days and rivers of blood flowed from the carnage because Lord Krishna (God Incarnate) failed in his attempt at diplomacy. Sanjay, putting himself in the place of Arjuna, imagines Lord Krishna talking to him and telling him to "Remember me and fight". And fight Sanjay does (in his characteristic shrieking, girly, whiny and frothing-at-the-mouth ways).


Not only does Sanjay desperately fight against Sathya Sai Baba and his devotees and proponents, he also attempts to justify his deviant, kinky, lustly sexual escapades, anger and hate by citing the words of Thakura Mahasaya (a Vaishnava Acarya). Sanjay posted the following verses on the Gaudiya-Repercussions site:

kAma krodha lobha moha, mada mAtsarjya dambha saha,
sthAne sthAne niyukta koribo.
Ananda kori hRdoy, ripu kori parAjoy,
anAyAse govinda bhajibo. (21)

Translation: I will engage lust, anger, greed, illusion, envy and pride all in their proper places. Thus I can defeat these enemies with a blissful heart and easily worship Govinda.

Sanjay's Words: "ThAkura MahAzaya further explains how such things may be used fruitfully in the pursuit of devotion":

kRSNa sevA kAmArpaNa, krodha bhakta-dveSI jane,
lobha sAdhu-saGge hari-kathA.
moha iSTa lAbha vine, mada kRSNa guNa gAne,
niyukta koribo yathA tathA. (22)

I offer my lust to the service of KRSNa, my anger towards the enemies of His devotees and my greed towards association with saints and topics of Lord Hari. I am deluded without my beloved Lord, and I am proud when I sing KRSNa's glories. Thus I engage all them in KRSNa's service!

Apparently, Sanjay is utilizing all of his lust, anger, greed, illusion and pride in order to "fruitfully" pursue his devotion to Lord Krishna! Sanjay utilizes his anger, hatred, lies, deceit, defamation-tactics and frothing-at-the-mouth rhetoric against Sathya Sai Baba because he thinks he is waging a holy war (serving Lord Krishna) and will thereby increase his devotion and purify himself! In Sanjay's belief system, he can conveniently justify his vile and venom.

Of course, all of this sounds eerily similar to the religious extremists who believe they are fighting for God and thereby are entitled to express their anger and hatred in any way they choose.
