Nobody is safe, no place is safe.....

Basically, I am not at all against Indians settling in other countries. But, the point is that they go out of India looking for better lives.......
Then this happens. Read on. This is an article from Hindustan Times...

The Indian community in Adelaide, south Australia, is living under the shadow of terror these days, with increasing incidents of apparently racially-motivated bashings at night by roaming gangs of youths.
In the last six months, there have been 10 such attacks, with eight of the victims being of Indian origin, including students. Police admit they have little information about the gang(s) of teenagers attacking Indians in Adelaide's inner northern suburbs.In most cases, the attackers, generally young men, demanded money from their victims before assaulting them."The bashings might deter foreign students from coming to Adelaide," said the treasurer of the multicultural communities council, Dilip Chirmuley, to ABC Online.Last Wednesday, in the most serious attack so far, a subway employee, Mihir Parakh, was hospitalised after being bashed with sticks by around five men.A police officer is quoted as telling newspaper Australian that it was not known if the same gang was responsible for all the attacks or if they were deliberately targeting Indians.All of the attacks occurred in darkness, before midnight."I've no doubt that the method that's being used would be very intimidating and very scary to the victims involved," the officer was quoted as saying."There's certainly an over representation of members of the Indian community who are victims. We're treating the incidents very seriously and that's why we've got a significant police presence in the area," the officer added.

This brings us to our philosophy - nobody is safe in this world.

samasrita ye pada pallava plavam

mahat padam punya yaso murareh

bhavambudhir vatsa padam param padam

padam padam yad vipadam na tesam

TRANSLATION: For those who have accepted the boat of the lotus feet of the Lord, who is the shelter of the cosmic manifestation and is famous as Muräri, the enemy of the Mura demon, the ocean of the material world is like the water contained in a calf’s hoof-print. Their goal is param padam, Vaikuntha, the place where there are no material miseries, not the place where there is danger at every step.

Sometimes devotees think, "if I go back to India, I will be able to do better devotional service. " Its similar to many people thinking that if they leave India and settle abroad their problems will be solved. Many times I hear about people complaining about the poor standards of life in India as compared to many western countries. They site this and many other reasons like better opportunities for career fulfillment and so on and so forth....

For the devotee, the principle is very simple, wherever he is he will serve Krishna to the best of his ability. That way, his peace, happiness and safety is guaranteed. The verse mentioned above is ample illustration.

We should always think, "Krishna has given me an opportunity now. I shall serve Him right now, right here and the best I can. I shall not wait for anything to happen in the future, I shall not wait for a better opportunity, I shall not wait for more favourable circumstances or situations." If we use our present opportunity as best as we can, Krishna will surely see that and grant us more service.
