DH News Service, Mangalore: 

As Bajrang Dal claims, the basic reason for its ire against the New Life prayer halls, is a book titled 'Satya Darshini' where the Hindu gods and goddesses have been shown in a bad light hurting the religious sentiments...

According to Bajrang Dal state convener Mahendra Kumar, this ‘humiliating literature’ is being circulated among the society encouraging conversion of Hindus.

As per the available pages of ‘Satya Darshini,’ the book has been originally written in Telugu (Ruju Darshini) by one Rev Paravastu Sooryanarayana, which has been translated to Kannada by Sriramreddy of Bangalore, and revised by Rev Samson S Malekar of Davangere. The editor of the book is A G Prakash of Suvarta Sevadal, Bellary.

Rev Paravastu Sooryanarayana published the original book through his Karunamaya Ministries, based in Hyderabad. According to the book, he took his birth in a traditional Brahmin family and was educated in Jagannathamutt Vidyapeeth. He was the chief priest (archak) in Sri Lakshminarayanaswamy Temple, and later embraced the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In his book, Sooryanarayana interprets select verses (shlokas) from various Hindu epics and explains why did he dislike the religion, the gods and goddesses. Analysing one such verse, the books states “Like human beings, the divine people also commit sins. Nara and Narayan did the same..... In fact, Rama and Krishna are not at all divine incarnations. They took birth like humans, committed sins and experienced its after effects. Hence, they are not gods and cannot give salvation (mukthi)...” (page 44).

In another chapter, it is stated “Madigas eat meat. Brahmins eat ghee, produced from cow’s fat. What is the difference between Madigas eating meat and Brahmins eating fat?” (page 48). Another explanation on the same page says, “Seer Vasishta, the mentor of Sri Rama, is the son of a prostitute, Urvashi.... Vashishta made her his own wife... Brahmins are the progeny of this couple... Hence, Brahmins are Shudras.”

“Sri Krishna is not light; he is darkness. One who is not light cannot be a god... If Sri Krishna is not eligible to hold Shamantakamani, how can he relieve you from sins? Himself being in darkness, how can you provide light?” the book asks (page 49, 50) analysing the incident of Shamantakamani from Vishnupurana.
