You "follow" someone long enough on twitter - their ugly underbelly becomes visible....not so different from real life - is it?
Had puzzled me always, why certain handles swearing by Sanatan, has weirdly latinish names. Others had suspiciously Hollywoodish ones!
It becomes clear now, as like a hungry horde, they are attacking @SadhguruJV, all on the back of his vocal support for #FreeHinduTemples.

Clearly, the agenda is to pose as sanatanis for as long as possible, and whenever any notable appears to be adding critical mass to true Sanatani unity, run a vitriolic campaign against them.

Obviously, to these people, freeing temples from govt control is somehow way less important than dissecting and vivisecting SJV.🤦
No wonder Sanatan remains in chains, when it's supposed stalwarts are so easily deviated from the goal!

Parallel thought: people like @csranga and @trramesh have made it their lives work, to free temples from Govt clutches - and have been tweeting about it for years.

Makes one wonder!
Isn't as if SJV was hiding his ideas & opinions before... they've been in public domain for over a decade!
Yet, all of a sudden, people who've never shown any interest in him or his org, are vomiting furiously on twitter!

Where has the fuel suddenly come from, that lit their fires?
As it grows, more are joining the fest...hashing and rehashing the same things again and again!
People are supposedly "digging out more" - who cares if what they're digging out is already common knowledge?

After another 7 hours and a night's sleep, the question remains unanswered. Where did the fuel come from? WAS there fresh fuel, or were these "sleeper cells" waiting for an opportunity?
