*No HD Analog Technology Surveillance Cameras, No Secret Police System, No alarms, No Window Sensors, No Deadbolts, No Automatic Porch Lights, No Weapons, No Peepholes, In fact No Doors at all!! It is all The Power of Faith! Read this, “How Indian Faith System is a Super Cop!”*

Dear Friends and Students

We all know about a village without doors, only door frames! Before knowing about that village and how it is possible, lets us look at a few statistics.

As per Statista, the total number of reported theft cases in India from 2005 to 2019, is 49.47 Lakhs. Of course, we are not counting unreported thefts!

However, can you imagine a place on the Earth where shops, houses, and temples do not have doors but only door frames! Can You imagine a lockless Bank? Bank do not have a police protection too!! Cab drivers brining passengers to this village won’t lock their car doors though passengers leave valuables inside the cab!!

How it is possible when the whole world is immersed in the power of fear and sense of insecurity!? This is called Power of Faith! No system or weapon can save this world so effectively but Power of Faith can save this world with zero budget.

This village is called as Shani Shingnapur, 35 km from Ahmednagar of Maharastra. It is total 82.36 km² area amd the village is known for its popular temple of Shani, the Hindu demigod associated with the planet Saturn. The villagers believe that God Shani punishes anyone attempting theft. This simple belief is saving this village from hundreds of years!! This is no roof and open sky temple.

In the history, there has not been a single incident of theft, riots, murder or rape (except 2 incidents in 2010/2011). It is believed that nobody from the village has ever gone to a Old Age Home! On average, there are 30000 to 45000 visitors visit the temple. On Amāvásyā (the no moon day), this number goes to three lakh, but managed without police protection.

This place still uses Bulls to extract juice from sugar cane, instead machines. This way bulls are properly engaged and saved.

Dear Friends, Corona Pandemic has shaken the faith system in the society. We should not make it happen. If so, consequences are costly. Fear becomes irrational and overruns us when trust is absent. Fear keeps you from moving forward and from doing the will of God. Unbelief can cause fear to take hold of our lives and emotions. Faith is an antidote for Fear!

Wish we have many more Shingnapurs across the world where systems are totally run by God.

Your Well-wisher
