"Neither money pays, nor name, nor fame, nor learning; it is character that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties"-Swami Vivekananda.

Some people are becoming so addicted to earthly pleasures that they are even forgetting the social norms and indulging in illicit relationships despite holding good jobs. A similar incident took place at Srikalahasthi, the abode of Lord Shiva in Chittoor district.

The police conducted raids at a private lodge in the town after they got information from a reliable source that prostitution was going on at this place. The police, who raided the lodge, caught a temple official red handed in a compromising position. Along with him were two call girls. Several other men were also caught red handed in this raid.

One Mohan, who was the in charge of Rahu Ketu pujas, seemed to have said alvida to morals. He allegedly worked between sheets with call girls and finally ended up hitting the headlines for all wrong reasons. The police, however, didn't file any case against him but took a counseling session. Will counseling sessions can instil morals in a person, who can indulge in such activities. It's a million dollar question.
