since no newspaper will publish the photos of the swamiji -- in case that would make him appear like a human being worthy of human rights (of course they never published photos of the 59 murdered in godhra, either, but had tons of space to print pictures of that terrorist mohammedan girl ishrat jehan) -- here they are. along with some news reports.

> on the 9th August 2008 attended by many Christian militants
> representing NGOs and persons like Nakul Nayak the ex-Member of
> Parliament and Krishna Padseth the ex- Chairman of the Block from
> Tumudibandh. The conspiracy to kill Swami Laxanananda was hatched in
> the meeting and on 13th August a threatening letter was circulated to
> the district and state authorities along with copies to individual
> targets including Swamijee. On 22nd August Swamijee appealed the
> District magistrate to enhance his personal security. The news that
> his life is in danger has been broadcast by the media in the morning
> hours, but alas he was done away with in a well planned cold blooded
> murder by the evening before midnight in his own room. He died on the
> spot along with all those four others who were with him in the
> spiritual discourse. Besides him, the deceased included Mataji who was
> in charge of the Girls' Boarding School, Amritananda Baba, Kishore
> Baba and guardian of a female student in the Ashram.Swamijee was
> preventing the Kondh tribes who were targeted by the Missionaries for
> baptisation and was also trying to bring back the Dalit and tribal
> converts among Christians back to Hindu fold. For last forty-two years
> Swamijee was relentlessly fighting for prevention of Cow- slaughter
> and conversion to Christianity particularly the poor and illiterate
> Kondh tribes who constitute more than 50% of the population in the
> district. He had made Kondhmal his abode and centre of missionary
> movement to protect Hindutwa in Orissa. He was one man Army against
> the onslaughts of the Church which the Missionaries could not
> withstand and at last resorted to the most cowardly act of killing an
> 84 years old saint in his own hermit, Shri Sahu stated. Earlier also
> there were seven such attacks from which he used to providentially
> escape. His last words before getting killed, while speaking to one of
> his devotees "Never have fears of death when you are working for the
> cause of the Motherland". He laid his life for the cause for which he
> stood his entire life.Shri Sahu demanded CBI enquiry into the ghastly
> incident and wanted the conspiracy angle to unravel. Being queried by
> the Press whether the CBI is free from the clutches of the Catholic
> Sonia Gandhi at the center, Shri Sahu replied that one has to choose
> between two evils and CBI is a lesser evil. Shri Sahu demanded that
> the State government has lost their moral right to continue in power
> and specially the BJP which has been benefiting by aligning at times
> with Hindu cause. The Government failure in protecting Hindu saints
> will only compel the peace loving Hindus of Orissa to arm themselves
> to protect their interest, Shri Sahu warned. The Press conference
> addressed by Shri Sahu was also attended by Shri Ajit Kumar patnaik
> the General secretary and Shri Simanchal Khatua the media chief.
> Puri Maharaja Shri Dibya Singdeo has strongly demanded the CBI to
