A open Letter to CM of West Bengal- By Brannon Parker


Dear Respected Chief Minister Banerjee,

I am writing you to express my concern over the arrest of Tapan Ghosh the President of the Hindu Samhati. Any discomfort experienced by your administration due to the activism of Tapan Ghosh and Hindu Samhati can be directly connected to the ongoing Government policies.


If the Govt did their job to treat all citizens of West Bengal equally, if the Police did their job to respond when women are violated, temples vandalized and homes are being looted and cows being smuggled and slaughtered by the thousands, if the media did their job to highlight the truth regarding the ongoing wave of criminalism and thuggery sweeping Bengal then Tapan ji would, as he has stated numerous times, be engaged in his chosen field of expertise, science, chemistry, research and farming. 


Your State of West Bengal belongs not to just Bengalis but to the millions around the world who look towards Bengal as their Cultural Motherland. Be it the poetry of Tagore, the music of Ravi Shankar or the Teachings of Sri Chaitanya, Bengal is a source of Inspiration to countless people throughout the world. It behooves you to recognize the validity of our concern at the state of affairs. This is not an unprecedented act of concern by non-Indians as we see in the case of George Harrison's activism with his concert for Bangladesh.


I personally have hours of first hand recorded testimony and documents verifying countless incidents of rape, murder, temple desecration and vandalism, land theft and so many other human rights violation happening now in your state.

Perhaps you are not aware of this state of affairs. If interested I will submit these findings to your esteemed office.   

Please reconsider your administrations response to Tapan Ghosh's activism. I urge you to immediately drop all charges against Tapan Ghosh and release him from jail. He is engaged in very important social work that is helping countless of the suffering and ignored citizens of your own State. 


Sincerely Brannon Parker

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
