Hindus wake up! History of desecration of Hindu temple idols is repeating!!

Introduction

During the era of Portuguese invasion in Goa, the Portuguese compelled the Hindus to convert to Christianity. They committed horrible atrocities on the Hindus, attacked their temples and desecrated the temple idols to create terror in their minds. Goa has a black history of the infamous inquisition. After a couple of years, Goa will celebrate the golden jubilee of its independence. However, it is sad to note that desecration of idols of Hindu Deities and Saints continue to occur. Till date, 15 such desecration incidents have occurred in Goa during the period from August 2004 to September 2008 at places viz. Sanguem, Curchorem, Bambolim, Ponda, Chodan, Quepem, Panaji, etc., but not even a single culprit has been booked in all the above cases. By destroying the idols, these heretics are trying to ruin the faith of Hindus in their Deities, Saints and Dharma. The Congress Govt. in Goa is also neglecting such serious incidents!
In view of the increasing incidences of idol desecration in Goa, several Hindu organisations, temple trustees and devotees came together to form the Akhil Goa Mandir Suraksha Samiti (AGMSS). The AGMSS is instrumental in creating awareness amongst the masses to curb the deplorable series of desecration of idols of Hindu Deities and Saints in Goa. The RSS, Bajarang Dal, Padmanabh Sect Trust, various trustees of devotees of different temples of Goa, Sanatan Sanstha and the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti have been instrumental in forming the AGMSS. An important feature of AGMSS is that, right from its inception, its activities are being guided by H.H. Bramheshanand Swamiji, Pithadeesh of Padmanabh Sect, Tapobhoomi, Kundaim, Goa. Till date, the AGMSS has conducted around 50 meetings in almost all Talukas of the State and one state level mass public gathering in the capital of the State to achieve its objective. Both, the above meetings and the gathering have received a spontaneous response from devotees all over the State.
The AGMSS, a state-level organisation, is backed by around 700 representatives of 400 temples of Goa. The overwhelming response received by the AGMSS’ activities itself is evident of its noble intent. The repercussion of AGMSS’ awareness programs is that any incident of idol desecration occurring now is promptly and strongly protested by devotees.
