@rautsanjay61 has written a fabulous piece in Saamana, the ShivSena mouthpiece. 'देवांनी मैदान सोडले'
"Gods desert the (battle)ground."
Here is a "rough translation" for non-Marathi speaking population. /1

Due to the deadly corona virus, currently all powerful nations are almost on death bed. All Gods are meeting a similar fate. /2
Mecca to Vatican, Budh Gaya to Shirdi -Siddhivinayak, all are witnessing a deadly silence.
God deserts man in crisis.
Corona has rendered religion and Gods irrelevant./3

The world is going through acute suffering due to the deadly Corona virus. The situation is worse than World War 2.
Those nations which claimed to be superpowers have turned helpless overnight. /4

Coronavirus has defeated human pride, and it has in turn defeated Gods & religion as well.
We rush to pray to God in times of calamities. But Corona has reversed this equation./5

Religion is believed to be the greatest political asset in current times. But the time has come to save our Gods from this deadly virus. This virus has put Hindu, Muslim, Buddha all Gods on deathbed. /6
Only because worshippers flock temples, the divine existence of the rockstone idol is intact. Temples void of worshippers are of zero value. Gods and their divine esteem lose their meaning./7
To contain the spread of Coronavirus, Siddhivinayak temple of Mumbai, Mahalaxmi temple of Kolhapur, Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati temple of Pune, etc etc all are closed. Shirdi is witnessing a grave silence. /8
Our Puranas tell us stories about how Gods have defeated & crushed many Asurs (demons). But this one Asur has got the better of all Gods put together. /9
Priests are making Gods of all religions wear masks. All religions and their agent priests have deserted countless helpless and petrified worshippers to their own fates. /10
Blood shed has happened in India & the rest of the world in the name of religion, for the sake of religion. Yet no religion has been able to save itself from the attack of Coronavirus. /11
Can we ever learn a lesson from this?/12
No priest, no maulvi, no bishop has been successful in defeating novel Corona. They have neither saved themselves, nor their Gods, or humans./13
No wonder that Gadge Maharaj, the Saint mendicant of 19 th century urged people to
educate themselves,their children. According to him, the one and only religion is "humanity"./14

He invoked people to stop visiting temples & indulge in temple offerings. He urged people to stop believing in magic & miracles, blind faiths & rituals. He begged before them to believe in science. /15
Well, we are facing a stark reality which teaches us that Science, & not blind faith, is the keyword. Ultimately, it is the science and scientific temperament which is fighting Coronavirus. /16
Countless people are sitting at home with face masks. Sanitisers are being used to wash hands.
No divine strength has come to our aid. Thus donation boxes of places of worship are not getting filled. It is proved without doubt that God is a rockstone idol, nothing else. /17

It is estimated that Coronavirus is going to impact crores of people worldwide. There will be widespread deaths. Economic & financial crisis will lead to thefts, more deaths due to hunger, crimes. /18
It is impossible for science to manipulate nature.
A mysterious strange power seems to control the world. It is not Trump, Modi or the Chinese Premier. It is a tiny Coronavirus. /19

Of course, One good thing the virus has achieved. Our PM is stuck in our country since the Coronavirus scare started. /20
Coronavirus has turned all nations of the world into beggars. Rich tycoons, wealthy priests, and Gods are feeling the pinch in similar proportions. Yes, Ambani and Adani have become a little bit poorer. /21
Corona has engulfed in its snare, all the Gods & these Gods are staring at the deadly Corona virus...with helplessness
Hey Corona virus, what have you done./22
The end.
