Ensure religious freedom: Catholicos

Catholicos Baselius Mar Thomas Paulose II, head of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, has underscored the need for authorities to take steps to ensure the constitutionally given religious freedom so that communal amity and secularism could be upheld in the country.
Talking to mediapersons here on Friday to announce the valedictory of the 50th death anniversary observance of his predecessor Catholicos Baselius Gheevarghese II, the pontiff said while he was upset over the incidents of forced reconversion attempts and burning of churches reported from north India, he viewed them as isolated incidents. The Catholicos, who had courted controversy by praising the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his administrative acumen during the run-up to the last general elections, said he still stood by his earlier stance about Mr. Modi.
The important thing was for the government to put things in order and rein in the extreme fringes who engaged in such activities, he said. Unless those in power take steps to ensure the confidence of all sections of society, they will not be able to put the developmental agenda into practice, he said.
Reacting to a question, the Catholicos said corruption had pervaded the whole society and it was for the political leadership to take corrective measures. “People are losing faith in their leaders and the nation was witnessing a major crisis on account of the leadership vacuum, not only in politics, but in all sections of society,” he said.
There was a drastic fall in adherence to values and unbridled consumerism had led to a scramble to make money at any cost, he said. The political leadership was not insulated from this trend, he said. The political leadership should address the issue and take steps to regain the confidence of the people, he said.
Referring to the schism in the Church, the Catholicos said he had not received any information from the Patriarch of Antioch (Mar Ignatius Aphrem II Karim) regarding any peace moves.
Reacting to a question, he said the perception of the Orthodox church was that the government was moving back from its avowed policy on the liquor issue.

An insight into the word ‘Guru’ by Fr.Biju P Thomas
The
Sanskrit word for teacher is ‘Guru’ and there is no other word which can
substitute and evoke the same sanctity, holiness, reverence and adoration as
this word. The word ‘Guru’ is interpreted in many ways. ‘Gu ‘denotes darkness
of ignorance. ‘Ru’ represents the radiance of knowledge. So, the Guru is the one who dispels the
darkness of ignorance and bestows upon the human the radiance of knowledge. The
Latin word for Guru is ‘gravis ‘which means ‘heavy’ or ‘depth’. Hence, a Guru
is a person with abundant or deep knowledge. The Sanskrit adage says: “Matha, Pitha, Guru,
and Dev”. A Guru is considered at par with God as he directs his obedient
disciple to God.
In
India, a country of diversity, we find different kinds of Gurus. They are as
follows:
1.
Dheeksha Guru (One who initiates people to lead a holy life.)
2. Siksha Guru (One who trains the students by
giving instructions).Mostly, Dheeksha Guru and Siksha Guru are one and the
same.
3. Chaitya Guru (One who controls and leads the
human being from within him).In this context, it is to be remembered that Jesus
Christ who got Baptized was guided by the Chaitya Guru within him to embark on
the deserts and say, “If I go there, I will send the holy Ruha.He will guide
you in to the path of truth and justice.”How often we have heard the Guru
within us tell about the right ways? Some call it as one’s conscience. In
reality; it is the God’s voice.
4.
Sath Guru and Jagath Guru: The Ancient
Epics refer’ Sath Guru’ (the eternal teacher) and ‘Jagat Guru’ (the master of
the entire world) to God. In India,
once in a year Guru Puja is organized on a full moon day in July or August in
order to pay respect to the Gurus. This day is also called Guru Poornima Day.
In reality, Guru is God himself. In the ancient times, the role of a Guru in
guiding a child to various domains was beyond comparison. Without the blessings of a Guru, it is not
possible for a disciple to venture into any field. The trend is prevalent even today. The bride
and the bride groom receive the
blessings of the Guru before they tie their nuptial knot to enter into a wedded
life.
According
to ‘Brahmanda Purana,’Guru is Brahma (without four heads). Guru is Lord Vishnu
(but he doesn’t have four hands). Guru is Lord Shiva (but he doesn’t have the
third eye).Guru means Lord Paramshiva who took the human form. Salutations to
the Guru who removes the darkness of ignorance by the light of knowledge. A
Guru plays a greater role in the disciple’s life in making him visualize God
through his inner eye. In Vedic culture, Guru was considered equal to God.
In
reality who is the actual Guru?
In
Mahabharata, Sri Arjuna addresses Sri. Krishna like this: “You are the greatest
teacher of the whole world”. Lord Shiva was described as Jagath Guru by the
great Sanskrit poet Kalidas in his great epic ‘Kumara Sambhav’ and Sri Ram was
described as Jagat Guru by Saint Tulsidas. It is hoped that these descriptions
will help us to perceive the sanctity
and the greatness of Gurus in the past and to know the status of a guru today.
Teachers
are light houses of spirituality. Vedic teachers, the people who were well
versed in Sanskrit and those who wrote the explanation in Sanskrit for
scriptures like Brahmasutra, Bhagavatgita and Upanishads were considered as
part of the holy family of Jagat Guru and were respected.Adi Sankara is
considered as the pioneer of Jagat Guru Hierarchy.Ramanuja, Nimbarka charya,
Madhavacharya, Vallabhcharya are others included in this category. They are
also known as ‘the enlightened’.
Few
decades ago, the Guru was addressed as ‘Asaan’ in Malayalam language.Asaan used
to introduce the alphabets to his disciple by chanting into his ears. It is the
Sanskrit word ‘Aacharya’ that has become ‘ Ashaan ‘ and ‘Asaan’.The place
where the Asaan teaches his pupils is called ‘ Asaan School’. Today the word
‘Asaan’ has lost its value and meaning and is used for kidding. This is because
people are not aware of its precious meaning.
Guru
is a common word in almost all languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada
Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Gujarati, and Nepali etc. There is no other
word to substitute it. First and foremost responsibility of a true Guru is to
get the knowledge of light from the Jagath Guru who is God himself and also to
gain knowledge through constant meditation and by questioning. Then, lead the
people from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom and knowledge. To
get such good Gurus is what “Thamasoma Jyotirgamaya “tells.
Jesus
Christ is addressed 45 times as Guru in the New Testament. The favorite disciple St. John while
preaching first called Jesus Christ as Guru. Two of St. John’s disciples only
gave such a status to Jesus Christ. Read
St. John 1/8: Their words reveal their
desire to stay with the Guru and learn. “Guru, where do you live? Guru’s words
are also highly commendable. He said, “Come and see”. In other words it is an
instruction to walk with the Guru and learn by seeing and hearing. In short, it
means to learn with the Guru by experience. According to “Ved Grantham,” just
like Ekalavya became a disciple of Dronacharya, the learned chief of the
society Nicodemus became a secret disciple to Jesus Christ. In the darkness of night he went to Jesus
Christ and accepted him as his Guru. He said, “Rabbi, you have come as a
counselor from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God
were not with him. “Rabbi” means Guru in Judaism. Gurus were addressed as Rabbi also. The Judas
provided greater support and respect to the Rabbi.
Is
there any other Guru like Jesus Christ?
There is no subject that he has not taught. Be it life, education,
idealism, wonders, common justice, criticism on ruling , prayer, end of era, nature, agriculture,
ladies, children or any other topic, he
taught everything by walking with the disciples in the nature and teaching
whatever they saw and heard. Jesus
Christ gave his disciples their own life as study material. The method of teaching was something novel
connecting everything like nature, society, human beings, the study room, study
materials and the subjects. In the same way as a dissection is performed in the
Lab for practical learning, the disciples learnt about love, patience, prayer
etc. by experimenting them in their Guru’s life. Those who learnt about them
desired to live like their Guru.
Disciples became just like Gurus. When they were tested by their
disciples , they prayed to their Guru and
got consoled .One disciple , on being hit by stones, prayed like the great
Guru: “please forgive them “ . When Jesus Christ struggled on the cross,
suppressing his pain, he looked up to the Father and prayed. Stephen saw his
Guru on the right side of the Father and prayed. His pain subsided. The other disciple was Peter. In the
beginning of his disciple hood, he ran away and hid himself to save his
life. But, he surprised the people who
came to create the fear of death in him by requesting them to crucify him. He
set an example by expressing that he was ready to bear more pain and even die
after kissing his Guru’s feet.
Jesus
Christ loved his disciples unconditionally. He treated them as friends. He
understood their need. He surrendered
himself to the enemies so that his disciples are not troubled. He gave food to
the hungry. He taught them to share everything. He roamed with them and taught
whatever he could. He saved the
disciples from criticism of the people whose food grains they had plucked. He
slept with them. He did not long for any privilege that a Guru deserves. He weaved beautiful stories. Playwrights like
Wordsworth, Alchemist and others are indebted to Jesus Christ’s stories and
were surprised at the depth of his short stories. Even today his stories provide the moral foundation
to other stories. His ability to capture
the attention of thousands of disciples to his teachings for days together is
amazing. His commonsense was also perfect. The talent of a Guru lies in
understanding the questions first and teaching accordingly. The platform he chose to teach thousands and
thousands of people shows his commonsense.
He did not simply teach the people, but he kindled their imagination to
dream about their colorful future. He knew that dreamless generation is a
lifeless one. He encouraged his disciples to face all situations including
death. Good Gurus are always like that.
Martin Luther King stood in the midst of the darkness of slavery and instilled
dreams in his follower’s heart.
Sometimes
Gurus make the disciples emotional. At other times, they melt their heart. Some
other times, they encourage them to take critical decisions. There was some
unique quality in Jesus Christ when he instructed and scolded his
disciples. Every subject he taught had a
philosophical ending.
Once
a child said in a teacher’s meet: “Teachers are just like mothers. There is
love hidden in their scolding. In
turbulent situations, they show light and lead us to the right path”. Jesus Christ was indeed the true light. To
those who wander in search of light, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.
Those who follow me will not walk in the dark but will have their life
brightened. (St. John 8:12). For a disciple to become a Guru, he must acquire
the ability to remove the darkness.
Disciples, who wander in search of light, receive light from Jesus
Christ, the Jagath Guru and spread it to the world.
At
times, the Guru scolds the disciples. Why?
“The fair judgment is that although the light has come to the world,
darkness is loved the more”. On
commenting about the emergence of Guru, St. Mathew says: “In the nations of
Zebulon and Naphtali, light has risen for those who stay at the sea shores and
at the nations of death and shadow. How nice it would be if we understand that
in every country from time to time Gurus emerge just like the rising Sun to
only shed light and remove darkness.
The
quality of Teacher in Jesus Christ is praiseworthy when he constantly prays for
his disciples so that they don’t fall into Satan’s trap. He was a Guru who
considered his disciples as his own children, rather loved them more than his
body. Do we have such Gurus today?
