Church expresses concern over seer's arrest

By Our Staff Reporter

KOCHI, NOV. 15 . It is sad that a spiritual leader has been drawn into such a scandal, said the spokesman for the Syro-Malabar churches, Father Paul Thelekkat, regarding the arrest of Kanchi seer Sri Jayendra Saraswathi on charges of murder. "I'm pained," he said.

"I do not want to condemn anyone," Father Thelekkat said. Ordinary people look upon the spiritual leaders to give them "light".

Places of high regard in society should be redeemed of such controversies, he said. The civic authorities should also be careful that they do not tarnish the reputation of spiritual leaders, he added. They provide spiritual and moral leadership to society, he said.
