Tamilnadu CM Kalaignyar Karunanidhi is an athiest
Kalaignyar Karunanidhi may be an athiest. But then one has to be very organized and a visionary to depend on himself. My friend used to say : God never rewards the virtuous nor punishes the wicked. Tamilnadu CM sure is not wicked, but believes in himself.
What about the so-called religious people? They do prayers routinely and get angry over God if their prayer is not answered. They are hypocrites. It is better and to follow atheism than to be a hypocrite. Swami Vivekananda was an athiest when he was Narendra. But then Ramakrishna Paramahamsa made him feel the divinity in him and all the creations of God.
The entire India is looking at Tamilnadu now. Not due to Power game politics but the efficiency of managing the state and the Center. I am not here to praise the Tamilnadu CM or the state. Who am I? In the larger context of the country, this Dharma Bhoomi has so many things to do and follow the path of Dharma. And God will manipulate people in walks of life to protect Dharma.
