Just like the way Ram Gopal Varma has shown in his Hindi movie ‘Rann’, it is becoming obvious that the electronic media is literally playing with the lives of the people in our state. Their impact is so strong that the mindsets are changing and not stopping at that, the media channels are constantly on the lookout to create a sensation.
Right now, they seem to have made the Hindu Swamis as their targets. Apparently, they have become their best menu for breaking news. The last few months has seen several news channels hitting on the Hindu swamis and the list goes on with popular names like Nityananda, Kalki, Bala Sai Baba and others.
The latest to add to the list is Swami Swaroopananda of Sarada Peetham. While the idea of unveiling any fake guru is appreciable, the media folks must realize that the purpose is genuine only when it is dealt with till the end instead of creating a sensation and big noise for two days, bag TRPs and go silent. It is about time the electronic media realizes that they have a moral responsibility towards the society.
The channel, that broke the news about Swroopananda states that he is involved in holding black money of many politicians, and his life started with selling black tickets at film theatres in Vizag. The channel also claims that he was addicted to all sorts of vices and he started this life of swami to do religious business. The channel also linked up Dronamraju Satyanarayana and T Subbarami Reddy to him.
