THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, KERALA, INDIA, June 25, 2008: A group of sannyasins met the Governor of Kerala, urging him to direct the government to take action against the attack on ashrams in different parts of the State. Young militants, reportedly from communist groups, have violently assaulted several religious institutions.

Swami Gangesananda (Vidyadhiraja Ashram, Panmana, Kollam), Swami Bodhi Theertha (Sivagiri Madhom), Swami Brahmapadananda Saraswati (Sree Ramadasa Ashram, Chengottukonam), Garudadwajananda (Theerthapada Ashram, Vazhoor) and Swami Abhayananda Theerthapadar (Kodakarachira, Kottayam) submitted a memorandum to the Governor. They believe the latest local political speeches are adding to the unrest.

Ashrams and their heads have been under intense criticism by the ministers of the Kerala government itself.
