Judge Shares Case: Vedas Protect Those Who Nurture Them
A judge named Justice Swaminathan told a story about a friend, a Vedic scholar, who was wrongly sent to jail after a car accident.
The judge, when he was a lawyer, helped the scholar by arguing that there wasn't any proof that he was driving.
The scholar was later found not guilty.
The judge realized that when people support and protect ancient Hindu texts, like the Vedas, those texts protect them in return.
Justice GR Swaminathan shared a case where a Vedic scholar was initially sentenced to prison.
The scholar, a Shastri, was a friend of the judge.
The judge, then a lawyer, appealed the conviction based on lack of witness identification.
The scholar was eventually acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
Justice Swaminathan reflected on the incident, highlighting the protection offered by Vedas.
