Governor gets 60 petitions on Sanjay Dutt pardon

Shame on the people who seek pardon for Sanjay Dutt who has been sentenced by Supreme Court for his crime ! Why these people do not utter a single word to support Sadhvi Pragya, who is suffering from cancer and has not been proved guilty in any of the court ? - Editor

Mumbai : Maharashtra governor K Sankaranarayanan has received 60 representations from various individuals and organisations seeking or opposing clemency for actor Sanjay Dutt, whose conviction for illegally possessing weapons was recently upheld. Sankaranarayana has forwarded the requests to the additional chief secretary (home) for further action.

The governor's office said the representations had been received from all over India and even abroad. A Raj Bhavan statement said about 25 representations opposed clemency for the actor. Petitions from Justice (retd) Markandey Katju, chairperson, Press Council of India (PCI), have also been received. He was the first to publicly seek clemency for Dutt.

Among those who have opposed leniency for the actor is activist Abha Singh. In her petition Singh said if any decision was taken to interfere with the Supreme Court judgment and a pardon given, the public would suspect it had been done after getting influenced by the strong statutory authority of the PCI chairman.

The others who have made representations include the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, various human-rights organizations and several advocates. An earlier petition by actor-turned-MP Jaya Prada was sent to the home department on March 28.,

Dutt has already said he would not seek pardon and would serve his five-year term.

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...
