Author Salman Rashdie wounded in a knife attack in western New York

Sadhana community is deeply saddened to hear about the cowardly Islamic attack on Salman Rushdie. We pray for his health even though very likely he will lose one of his eyes.

Here is the reading of his controversial book.

For 33 years, Salman Rushdie has embodied freedom and the fight against obscurantism. He has just been the victim of a cowardly attack by the forces of hatred and barbarism. His fight is our fight; it is universal. Now more than ever, we stand by his side.
