Frankinn Acharya Dr. Laxminarayan Tripathi’s candid conversation with the media
Indore (Team Newsbuddy). The transgenders who go door to door to receive greetings are the gift of those people of the society, who leave their innocent transgender children in the transgender enclosure but do not want to give sufficient donations for the livelihood of the transgenders.
This is the statement of Kinnar Acharya and Mahamandleshwar Dr. Laxminarayan Tripathi. Dr. Tripathi was talking to media persons in the ‘Rubaru’ program of State Press Club, MP. Supporting the greetings sought by transgenders on festivals and various occasions, she said that people of civilized society leave transgender children in the transgender enclosure. When those children grow up and become transgenders, imagine what kind of feelings will develop in their minds for the society. In Indore too, many parents left their milk-drinking children who were brought up and educated. I believe that if the relatives start keeping transgender children with them, then the transgender groups will not come and take them.
Dr. Tripathi said that like other people of the society, all the eunuchs are also not the same. Sometimes some incidents happen. He said that we eat bread of 70 castes, do not differentiate on the basis of caste and religion but it is also true that even after eunuchs are educated and qualified, people look at them with hatred and neither give them the right of equality nor give them a job. He told that she herself was born in a Brahmin family, was educated and qualified. Despite this, no one provided her a job or means of livelihood. Those who do not give adequate amount of congratulations to eunuchs should understand that if a horse makes friends with grass, what will it eat?
He told that nowadays most of the eunuchs have started walking on the path of Sanatan because eunuchs are the Ganas of Shiva under the Shaiva sect. Although in the Sakhi sect, eunuchs who believe in Krishna are also Sakhi eunuchs and those who believe in the goddess are Shakta eunuchs, but there is respect and self-respect in Sanatan Dharma. Therefore, many eunuchs are now becoming saints by taking initiation in Sanatan Dharma.
She said that Madhya Pradesh has given a lot to the transgender community. The first MLA and Mayor were from here. I also got the title of Mahamandleshwar in Madhya Pradesh. I hope I will settle in Indore soon. She said that compared to other states, the transgender welfare board has not been formed here, whereas the Supreme Court has allowed the Transgender Act and this act has also been passed in the Parliament. The Madhya Pradesh government should take a decision soon in the matter of forming the board.
She said that after writing the autobiography ‘Main Hijra Main Laxmi’, she has written the book ‘Kabhi Bindu Kabhi Sindhu’. After writing the book ‘Red Lipstick: The Man in My Life’ recently, I am now busy writing a new book on a subject like Sanatan Dharma.
She said that we are now motivating the transgenders who become male from female for different types of jobs and respectable life in collaboration with organizations like Tapish Foundation. Through our efforts, we have provided jobs to people of the third gender in big groups like Vedanta, Hindu, Apollo, Godrej, PepsiCo, Flipkart, The Lalit, who are now living their lives like normal people.
On being asked about the preparations for the Kinnar Akhara in this year’s Ujjain Sinhastha, he said that this time land will be demanded from the state government for the permanent Akhara of Kinnars, where an ashram of Kinnars and a huge temple of Ardhanarishwar Bhagwan will be built.
In the matter of population of Kinnars, he told that the Election Commission has already given permission to the third gender, but there are many mistakes regarding the number of Kinnars in the voter list. It is expected that the number and other conditions will be clear only after a fresh census.
In the beginning, Dr. Tripathi was welcomed by Praveen Khariwal , president State Press Club (MP).
