Press Release by Hindu Jagaran Sammukhya on Killing of Dhanu Pradhani
6 Nov 2008.
"One <b>Dhanu Pradhani (35 years) was killed on 5/11/2008</b>
(Wednesday) in Jhinjiriguda village under Brahmanigaon P.S. while working in
Kumbharigaon School <b>by three militant Christians</b> belonging to the same
area. The incident occurred at about 12.30 p.m. in the afternoon while
other co-workers had gone for mid-day food and Dhanu Pradhani, a mason
by profession was about to leave for the same purpose. The three persons
were assisted by two of the teachers Prasant Uthar Singh and Susanta
Nayak in locating and identifying the victim. It may be recalled that
within days of killing of Swamiji and others, there were wall posters
targeting Dhanu Pradhani, Vikram, Arun Karji and Chitrasen displayed in
Jhanjiriguda area. On the 31st October 2008 when peace committee meeting
was held at the Brahmanigaon P.S. there was none from among the local
Christians. Later, on enquiry Thomas Nayak, Subash Nayak, Kailash Nayak
and Vikram Basturoy of Brahmanigaon area told that 'first they would
eliminate the four aforesaid Kandh youth, and then only they might sit
down to talk about peace'.
<b>Dhanu's murder is predetermined and brutal. The killers pumped in to 12
bullets from small arms in close range. Dhanu could not escape as there
was a minor boy alongwith who had come to accompany him to the place of
lunch.</b> This daring act in broad day light under gaze of eye-witnesses
indicates a direct challenge to the State Police who have failed to nab
the local killers of Swamiji who according to the investigation numbered
18 in total. Only three from among them are shown arrested, till date.
Many of the remaining 15 are loitering around freely with impunity. The
Kandhs were assisting in the state sponsored peace efforts for
restoration of normalcy. But the militant Christians again by such acts
are inviting trouble to themselves. The Chief Minister has been very
partisan in using the coercive armed police (CRPF, OSAP etc.) against
the local Kandhs of whom so many innocents in hundreds are hospitalized
and an equal number languishing behind the bar, including women and
minors. On the other hand, militant Christians with illegally procured
firearms who are behind the murders of Swamiji and there after, are
moving freely with impunity. Peace is two way traffic. Naveen Babu,
holding the Police portfolio in the cabinet will remain squarely
responsible for the repercussions that will ensue after such blatantly
partisan and highly discriminatory handling of the situation as if he is
bound by a vow to protect the Christians at the cost of the Kandhs. The
killers are moving under CRPF protection. <b>Kandhs will never lie low in
protecting their dignity. They are fighting their battle for cultural
existence and they have full support of other sects of Hindus whole over
the country."</b>

What is surprising is that similar raids were not conducted in other villages where there is pillage of fire-arms.

(At least) 2 World Vision christoterrorists were involved in Swami Lakshmanananda's murder.

<b>ASIAÂ Young Catholics Go From Bangladesh To India To Learn Liturgical Dance</b>
by Julian S. Das
On 2008-10-8
KOLKATA, India (UCAN) -- Jhotan Sylvester Serao traveled on a bus from Dhaka to Kolkata for a dozen hours to fulfill his desire to learn liturgical dance.
"I have been dancing since my school days and taken part in many programs," the Dhaka-based <b>World Vision worker</b> admitted to UCA News, "but I never before learned how to dance formally."
Serao is one of 12 Bangladeshi Catholics aged 18-30 who came here on Sept. 25 to learn rudiments of dance so as to enliven liturgical worship back home.
Their two-week dance workshop is being run at the residence of Jesuit Father Saju George Moolanthuruthil in Kolkata, 1,460 kilometers southeast of New Delhi. The 43-year-old priest, popularly called Father Saju, has a master's degree in dance and is trained in Bharatanatyam dance.
Bharatanatyam, a classical dance form popular in southern India, grew out of a traditional temple dance based on Hindu epic stories. Father Saju uses it to depict Christian themes such as the Trinity, Mother Mary and the Risen Christ.
(Thieves.)
Serao said he came especially to learn how to use this dance form in liturgical celebrations when he returns to Bangladesh.
Other group members also spoke with UCA News about their interest in dance, as well as their faith. Trishna Rodriguez said her family encouraged her to attend the workshop. Her interest in dance, she said, began as a child and it "brought me to Kolkata to learn more about using dance in the liturgy."
According to the Bachelor of Arts student from Dhaka, people find it easy to understand the language of dance because it depicts life. She maintains that dance is "an effective means of communicating the message in liturgies."
Last March, Father Saju gave a one-day workshop on liturgical dance in Dhaka, and it perked the group's wish to learn more.
"We use dance in the liturgy," Serao said, "but we are not sure if what we do is liturgically correct."
In Serao's view, liturgy in Bangladesh could become more meaningful and relevant if Church leaders accept liturgical dance. The young enthusiast wants more avenues for Bangladeshi Catholic dancers to cultivate their talent and use it to serve the local Church.
Priyanka Russel, who plans a career in classical dance, added: "The themes and motifs of dance are universal. It is sure to ennoble Christian liturgy."
(No. All Bharatanatyam and all Hindu dance forms are worship of our *Hindu* Gods.
These christoterrorist thieves are committing 'heresy' and breaking their non-existent gawd's first commandment "thou shalt have no other Gods before me" - mayhap the church will inquisition them soon.)
Jenny Gomes has found the workshop a new experience. "I've been learning dance all these years by myself, but now I am learning pure dance with a clear vision," she said. She added that her group aims to invite Father Saju to Bangladesh to teach liturgical dance to a larger group next year.
Kulandaivel Rajkumar, a Catholic resource person at the workshop, says that after the young Bangladeshis learn a model of sacred dance, they can improvise and adapt it to their situation. "They are sincere, hard-working and serious about dance," he told UCA News.
Rajkumar, who works as a choreographer at New Delhi-based National School of Dance, teaches classical dance theory for two hours a day at the workshop. The daily program begins at 6 a.m. with yoga, and ends with a practice at 9 p.m.
Father Saju said the workshop was designed to provide basic gestures, steps and mudra (symbolic finger positions) that the youths can use in the liturgy.
His hope, he said, is that the youths become a catalyst for using simple dance forms to enrich liturgy in Bangladesh.
"Ultimately, what we wish to achieve is to enhance our prayer and devotion in our liturgical celebrations, and dance can be one of the finest means in this effort."
