As one’s face is the index of his mind, the media is also the mirror of a society. A kind of maturity in the quality of news should be there. <BR/>News has shifted base from being sensational to sensitive. The media people seem to have waken-up to the truth that the readers or viewers do not want their morning cup of tea or evening supper to be spoilt by gross images of blood and gory. Though the readers and viewers do not expect flowers with the news, they might not complain if the violence in the news is toned down without compromising on the news value. Of course news is basically about calling a spade a spade. However the creativity of the media people should be used at calling a spade a spade without sounding too blunt, if the situation demands and allows.<BR/>The role of indian media has now become questionable. its effects are in front of all of us. we have seen how a normal situation is converted in a disaster just because of media. <BR/>Lets take the Ahmedabad case:<BR/>Wat happened:<BR/>Two students of gurukul gone missing and found dead after two days , a person who is a follower of asharam ji bapu saw the bodies of the two kids and informed the police about the incident . the bodies were then sent for postmortem .<BR/>Now wat media did<BR/>• Media gave a very sad statement that i saw on XYZ 9(name changed) news . it was that the person who informed the police has gone missing , police should arrest that person and not let him go . <BR/>so is this a sensible reporting, what a person is told is that if you see any thing wrong or any crime what ever it is murder,rape,theft etc then call the police and inform the police about it. now according to this news channel if someone reports an incident to police than the police will arrest that person and not let him go until the culprit is behind the bars. <BR/>• Media blames that Ashram is responsible for the unfortunate incident and close the asram. <BR/>The simple truth about human psychology is that what they know largely determines what they see, hear and feel, and how they think and act. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. Media is an important player in shaping public opinion and their imagination. So Media should always project the truth in-front of the public. So my media friends please always try to uncover the truth.<BR/>Is it that we will never recognize these saints during their life time? From times immemorial we have seen that whenever a saint comes to uplift the society come the negative elements. May be you can say that the God only incarnates himself in the form of these saints to words of those negative elements and works for the betterment of the downtrodden, the wrenched people, people who have forgotten their own glory, who have forgotten that they are the masters and have been enslaved by these enlightened souls work for our betterment, notwithstanding the innumerable pains they have to bear, we ordinary mortals keep criticizing them. Vary sorry to say that Media is playing a great role in this.<BR/>Media, no doubt, has a great role to play, many scams and crimes come to light only because of media. But is media justified in defaming a spiritual leader without any concrete proof. Or is it that only TRPs is the only important thing for them, no matter how unscrupulously achieved. Why is it that a wrong pictures being painted in-front of the people, why are the facts not been brought to light; why are the malicious and false theories being concocted; why are the evidences being tweaked in such a manner that arouse shock wave?<BR/>India is a land of saints and monks, its country where even a snake is treated as God. Has this country of saints forgotten to venerate the saints? Can we live without them? Wouldn’t we be drowned in the materialistic world? Do we know how to get rid of that? A very simple answer is NO. It needs a GURU and practice.<BR/>I am requesting the media to find all the activities which are going for the fast 35 years all over the world. And here are some of them in brief. And also please enquiry why the followers of asharama bapuji are increasing the day by day?<BR/>Mission: Upliftment of the masses, help the needy, Sick, Orphans and Tribal’s through the network of volunteers. Spread the message of love to create harmony among all irrespective of caste/creed/religion.<BR/>Activities:<BR/> Relief work after Natural disasters<BR/> Welfare for tribal’s , poor , down trodden <BR/> Free Natural therapy , herbal remedies and mobile hospitals<BR/> Special rehabilitation programs for inmates<BR/> Free Meditation , yoga camps for spiritual healing<BR/> Free special programs for youth to instill values , virtues and teach them techniques of Yoga at early age<BR/> Spread message of universal brotherhood and love<BR/>Likewise media can adopt a more responsible approach in reporting news, ensuring that the news are not underreported to lull the readers to ignorance or sensationalize to such a degree that the public are not given enough space to think and make their intelligent choices. The power vest on media should always go hand in hand with the responsibility towards the people. Freedom of expression should never forsake the unwritten law of responsibility.sirishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04741473372778180217noreply@blogger.com
