Says, Ready to do anything for Hindutva - Mr. Pravin Togadia




Mumbai : 
In line of fire over his alleged hate speech, VHP leader Praveen Togadia today said he was ready to go to jail for the sake of Hindutva.

“I am ready to go to jail…I am ready to do anything for Hindutva,” Togadia, who is at the Kumbh Mela, told PTI over phone.

“It is no crime to speak in the interest of the country,” he said.

Maharashtra Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Venkatesh Abdeo, on whose phone the call was made, threatened, “there will be severe reaction all over the country if  Togadia is arrested. Togadia has not done anything wrong by speaking about  Akbaruddin Owaisi.”
He also dared the government to arrest Togadia “if it has guts.”

A case has been filed at a police station in Nanded in connection with the hate speech allegedly made by Togadia last month.

Yesterday, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil had said that the state government was seeking legal opinion on taking further action against Togadia.

“We are seeking legal opinion because we don’t want to crush anybody’s freedom of expression,” Patil had said.

The minister had said the government would not tolerate anybody making inflammatory speeches and sowing seeds of hatred in the society.

At a public meeting at Bhokar town in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on 22 January, Togadia had allegedly attacked Hyderabad-based Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi.

Owaisi was later sent to jail on charges of delivering a hate speech at Nirmal town in Andhra Pradesh’s Adilabad district last month.

The VHP leader had also triggered a controversy by making an alleged speech on February 1 near Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh.

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
