6. In front of Matri Sadan, a tributary of the Ganga directly coming
from Harakipairi is going past it. When in may 1997, Matri Sadan
shifted here, hundreds of trucks, trolleys and other such vehicles
were seen/found to be plying across the sacred bed of the Ganga
and entering into the forest. In the forest, across the Ganga, the
forest land was indiscriminately mined by mining Mafias to dig
out the stones from the ground. Besides, felling of forest-trees,
prominently the valuable ones of Khaira, killing of wild animals
was conducted in clandestine manner whereby, causing a great
damage to the forest altogether.The Mafia people were hand in
globe with the district administration along with a coterie of
corrupt ministers in Lucknow. The background of the nexus
between them was based on sharing the booty in terms of money
from bottom to top in every echelon. It was discovered when
Matri Sadan launched its movement to stop the plying of such
vehicles through the bed of the Ganga
7. At the end of February 1998, just on the eve of Mukhya Kumbha Snana (the main auspicious bath of Kumbh
Mela) during the Kumbh Mela period, Matri Sadan made a written complaint to the Additionl Mela officer
expressing a deep concern over the pollution problem caused by six stone crushers at Jagjeetpur - five thickly
clustered and a sixty located seperately, which had a common boundary with ITI Govt. College, Just beside
Hardwar-Luxur road. It was also stated through the complaint that an exit road of Kumbh Mela was passing
through amidst the clustered snone crushers. Due to this, millions of pilgrims were susceptible to the to the
repercussions of the pollution. On the other hand, the stone crushers had no pollution control device and no
check and control of any kind from any authority either. The situation of the stone crushers was so alarming
that they were destroying the lives of thousands of people permanently, in addition to what damage it could do
to the above-mentioned pilgrims. At a distance of hardly 100-200 metres, there were many ashrams, two
schools--Guru Ram Rai Public school and Govt. Primary School -- Jegjeetpur village of about 10,000 population,
the main road from Hardwar to Luxur, etc. At all times, a cloud of dust could be seen in the atmosphere above
the clustered crushers
On 14/02/99 the Mafia stone crushers made a murderous attack on four saints of Matri Sadan, including its
head, Swami Shivanandji Maharaj, in connivance with the police. The lives of the saints were miraculously
rescued by two constables -- Shri Rajendra Sharma and Shri Jagmohan Sharma, yet the saints fell unconscious
and were drenched with blood. Accordingly an FIR was lodged. Despite that, the police could not arrest the
culprits and helped them to get bail. Of course, a high level enquiry was set up which clearly reported the hand
of Mr. B.M. Singh, the SO, Police Station, Kankhal. Consequently, he was penalised.
Since then the stone crushers all closed and people affected thereof are able to breath frest air and free from
incurable diseases called silicosis. This is how the divine organisation of Matri Sadan insured the divine victory -
- welfare of human beings on the alter of above-mentioned suffering and self sacrifice.
8. Matri Sadan is spiritually fighting to restore truth and
eradicate the plethora of corruption in order to
provide healthy environment to the society, both of
subtle and gross nature.
Since the system as a whole has become corrupt, it
demands utmost martyrdom and involves
venturesome toil (Tapas) to transform the situation.
However, we have strong belief in persuasive
measure to undo the threat. As a matter of principle,
Matri Sadan is intent on evoking realization of
ignorance to the people at fault rather than
punishment to them untruthfully, in opposition to
natural justice that obviously comes into fore.
Probably, the system of judiciary has been installed
with this motto.
