Karkala: An incident of damage to a flag post by the owners of the school land has come to light in Ranganpalke, Kanajaru here on April 24. Little flower English Medium School has been functioning since 13 years.
The owners of the school land, Lawrence Saldanha along with Melwin and his associates, entered the school premises along with a JCB and damaged the school park, flag post and toilets. A complaint was filed in the Karkala Rural Police Station but officials failed to take action.
The school management says that they have received life threats from the land owners who frequently interrupt the school operations.
A memorandum by the school management was submitted on May 25 to the SP’s Office by Stephan Mendonca, Srikanth, Alwyna Wilma D’Souza and others.
Dear friends, I am not surprised that the so called Godman has gone to the extent of publishing one sided version to the public and media. The true story on the other hand is the following: – In 2008, I handed over the School (then running 7th std) to Seon Ashram headed by Godman Paulose along with a separate 5 acres of land total worth about Rs 2 Crores, all for free. – To give him enough time to construct his own school building, I leased him the temporary school building and a portion of house on 25 years nominal… Read more »
I thought only Sanaathana dharma had Godmen ?
Mr. U.C, you are a greedy man with very ungreatful heart. In the name of charity you backstab and cheat good people who blindly believe in your fake outlook. Shame on you Mr. Opportunist.
JIS THALI MAI KHAYA USEE MAI TUMNE THOOK DIYA.
Fantastick, and people call you Godman.
A clean mouth & an honest hand will take a man to any land
Dear Lawrence
Don’t worry, lie always has a short life
Truth lives longer
God will surely reward you for your goodness
We all are with you
The deceiver will be thought a lesson soon
Dear Lawrence,
A good deed done by you will never go unnoticed.You’ll be definitely rewarded by Almighty by hundred folds.
Your intention was pure in lending helping hand to the so called Godman.
Don’t worry we are all with you and pray to Almighty that proper justice to be done for your good deeds.
Thanks Marina, Precilla for your comments. Im very sure like you guys there may be thousands of our own people who know about his crooked deeds in the name of Charity.
Truth always prevails and will surely win. May God bless you Lawrence.
Ms. Veronica Alva, I do not believe in Godmen and those pseudo-social workers who come at the door steps to collect money for charity and social causes. Most of them are crooks and scoundrels and pocket the money. I have personally come across such scoundrels, not only in India, but also Indians abroad and they have no honesty and propriety and involved in many dirty things, which I do not wish to spell here. I do not know the background of the case, but the gentleman should not have dealt with the so-called Godman and holy man. If, one is… Read more »
Yes you are right Mr.Nelson.But some day they will be caught.Sometimes innocent people get carried away by these crooked men.
Ms. Veronica Alva, I will tell you one thing. It is not the question of how honest or corrupt you are, how intelligent or stupid, how selfless or selfish, how industrious or lethargic and I can rattle off. The success of a man depends solely on his kismet and how well he can talk. One may be crook and scoundrel, but if his kismet is good, then wealth will pour from all sides. I have seen many rags to rich stories and after they have achieved wealth they wish to display their wealth and power to the same people who… Read more »
Dear Lawrence, we, entire family , always there as a moral support for you.. Your simplicity n hard work are the results of your success you achieved. Obstacles you faced every time you thought of doing some gud work . Be it him so called Goodman or few jealous people around. You have enough knowledge n wisdom for what is to be done when by way of going that extra mile to support any cause which helps the poor. Building a school was your dream project, in this case how anyone can think about doing any damage to the school… Read more »
Dear friends, It is my strong belief that the truth somehow emerges without having to shout from the hill top. Here, however the Godman has succeeded in temporarily misleading local people and PTA members which is evident from pictures and bunch of lies. I wish to set the record straight on the following: 1. Flag post The flag post was wrongly installed in the middle of entrance which needed to be shifted to another location nearby and therefore it was removed and kept at a safe place. What this Godman did was he brought the Ashoka and immersed in the… Read more »
Regarding flag post pics, one can blindly make out that it is placed and soiled and made visible clearly from all angles. Since it is a national symbol, he expected to draw people’s attention and outrage to create problems to the land owners. He needs to be punished for playing with the national symbol for his own benefit.
Dear Lawrence, Infact I did not feel like commenting on a dirty crook so called Godman who is trying to prove himself to the public that he is a good man and wants to grab the attention to prove himself that he is innocent. But Lawrence you do not need to prove yourself about the great job you did for the betterment of the society. You always dreamed of making your birth place famous than investing in the city. You blindly believed in him whom we noticed from the day one that he is not a trust worthy person. Our… Read more »
Dear Uncle Lawrence, Yes, this sort of media attention is not surprising at all as it is only when one person knows right in his conscious that he is completely wrong is when they start shouting and start justifying using extraordinary measures like unwanted media attention. This sort of a matter/dispute can be sorted out within 4 walls. But since someone chose to gather the outsider attention, I think it will be right to bring out all the hidden issues as you have mentioned in your first response. First of all, the pictures above show complete disrespect towards the flag… Read more »
Dear friends, I missed 2 important points in my earlier response, which I want put up here: 1. Flag post The flag post was removed for relocation to another location as it was blocking the main entrance of the premises. However, the Godman brought the Ashoka from where it was kept, buried under the rubble and took pictures to be published in the media to malign our name. He knew very well that he had nothing else, which can stand against us. 2. Rs 1 Crore Education Fund The Godman has been extensively spreading the news among parents and local… Read more »
Dear Uncle Lawrence
People can go to any extent when it comes money and property. I hope soon the truth comes out and you become free from these issues..
Dear Lawrence Uncle, It’s very sad to hear all this and also seeing the name of our ancestral home and property being spoiled like this. Selfless good deeds that you have done for the development of our village and the welfare of the people around will not go to waste uncle. We are all with you. Here’s wishing you all luck in this fight against evil. May god shower you with his choicest blessings. Good times or bad times your big big Saldanha family is always with you. May the evil fail as always. Jesus is with us. God bless… Read more »
