RSS rescues Christian priests
New Delhi, July 10: RSS activists recently rescued 80 Christian priests trapped in an accident in the dense forests of Orissa's Sambalpur district and even donated blood to save their lives.
A marriage party comprising 90 Christian priests was on its way in a truck from Jamankeri village to Goudpil when it met with an accident in which 10 of them died on the spot and 80 others were seriously injured, said a report in the latest issue of RSS mouthpiece 'Organiser'.
As the Priests looked for help in the dense forests, an RSS activist heard their shouts and managed to mobilise 50 Sangh volunteers to help them.
"The Pastors were rescued and admitted to a nearby hospital, 45 kms from the site, in that dark night," the report said disclosing that the Swayamsewaks not only provided the injured medicines and food but "donated their own blood" to the pastors.
The weekly quoted Bishop Samal as saying, "these boys of RSS have given us a new life. We are grateful to them. May God bless them."
"We have not done anything much. What we have done has been done from the humanitarian point of view. All of us are human beings. All are children of God," it quoted B B Nanda, RSS state Secretary as saying.
The RSS has often been criticised by Christian organisations for targeting Christian missionaries in the tribal areas.

Narendra avare...
Ins spite of all this, people will not stop hypocritic comments and still look at Kaaryakartas as some kind of terrorists. To look at the blend of secularism in our country, we dont have to look beyond Dr.K.S.Nissar Ahmad. Being a muslim, he could write a poem like 'beNNe kadda namma krishnNa, beNNe kadda namm' ! And I have heard from many people that he celebrates Hindu as well as Muslim festivals with equal interest, not to mention that there is rangoli in front of his house daily!!!
If this isnt secularity, I will never understand what it is :-(

You Know what yesterday I heard this in SPB's "Edhe Thumbi Haaduvenu"...
A muslim widow it seems she had Lord Shiva In her dreams coming almost everyday...and it seems she was asked by Shiva(in her dreams) to construct a temple for him. She Begged and arranged for the money and has now built a Shiva temple it seems...What Say Abt this???
I could vouch that This is true, for the fact that It came from SPB in a Kannada Channel.
And what RSS, did is just teh "Hindu way"....The so called "Secularists"...please note this...This is what Hinduism is and that Is what the RSS is trying to do...

Sometime back, I got introduced to the Head Master of Holy Christ School (Next to MES) while travelling to Mysore.
It is a Christian School and they have a Ganesha idol installed near the entrance.
While I was studying in MES, that idol was not there.
Out of curiosity I asked the Head Master about this.
He told that, the owner of the school is Christian.
And he started getting Ganesha in his dreams!
So, after that he installed Ganesha idol in this school!!
This is very rare and also surprising.
