Is there a better way?

Since their release from Vellore Central Jail on bail last January, senior Kanchi
Shankaracharya Srisri Jayendra Saraswati and the junior pontiff, Srisri Vijayendra Saraswati, have spent a year of quietude that recalls the even tenor of their lives 15 springs ago — before they became embroiled in national politics. They spent their customary four-month retreat, chaturmasya (July to October), meditating and praying at Tirupati.

The arrest of the Shankaracharya of Kanchi on charges of conspiracy to murder a former mutt accountant led to the BJP peremptorily snapping its ties with J Jayalalithaa's AIADMK. Likewise, the meaningless boycott of Parliament by the NDA in late-2004 led to an exasperated Telugu Desam Party breaking off its alliance with the BJP.
