A Christian Missionary view (?) of Hindu Cosmology
The Astounding Length of the Chronological System of the Hindus   

"The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths.  It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology."    
 
                                     - Carl Sagan  (1934-1996) famous astrophysicist, in his book - Cosmos.

***

But I know of no land which is suffering more than India from traditional, false, and injurious conceptions of chronology. Time is here endowed with life and enthroned among the gods. Siva is “Maha-Kala” the great incarnation of Time, and the mighty destroyer of all things.  

Until recently, it was thought that our human progenitor, Adam was created no more than sixty centuries ago and that the whole history of mankind is consequently confined to that brief space of time.  

But India has, with much greater daring and with more of unreason, carried back many billions of years the origins of mankind and has painted vividly a future whose expanse is as the boundless sea. One of the principal evils connected with this measureless time system is found in the fact that it helps to destroy the confidence of all intelligent men in the historicity of characters and events. 

While we recognize that this chronology is a natural product of the dreamy, patient soul of the East, the most important fact for us to remember is that it also perpetuates and accentuates the very evil which gave it birth. It is the new light of the West that has dawned upon India and has brought to it a new era.  

Yet I firmly believe in the ultimate triumph of our faith in India. Under God this mighty fortress of Hinduism will capitulate. Nor do I think that the day of Christian dominance is so far away as many missionaries are inclined to think. There is an accumulation of forces and a multiplication of spiritual powers which are now operating in behalf of our faith and against the ancestral religion of India, such as will work wonders in the future religious development of the land.  

The conquest of our faith in India will be not the less, but the more, thorough, because it will be not only of the letter but also and chiefly of the spirit. Christianity is sowing everywhere its seed of life and of character, as they are exemplified in the perfect life of Jesus, and are elaborated in the four Gospels, in comparison with which the message of the four Vedas and of all subsequent Hindu literature is but as the dark and feeble groping of the blind after light.

Pax Brittanica has been one of the greatest boons that the West has conferred upon the East.

The Preying Church?
Cultural Genocide of Vedic Religions ?

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) playwright, described the way traders used missionaries to make money in his 1898 play “The Man of Destiny”:

“When [an Englishman] wants a new market for his adulterated Manchester goods, he sends a missionary to teach the natives the Gospel of Peace. The natives kill the missionary; he flies to arms in defense of Christianity, fights for it; conquers for it; and takes the market as reward from heaven."

(source: The Man of Destiny  - By Bernard Shaw - Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant vol. 2  Penguin, 1989 p. 334-336).

“A creed religion like Christianity... is constantly competing against all other religions — and, what is more, doing so on their own home grounds. Its success is measured in terms of the number of converts it makes."

" I am a Hindu because it is Hinduism which makes the world worth living."   - Mahatma Gandhi (source: Young India 1-12-26).

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) a proud Sanatani Hindu termed: "Conversions as a Fraud on Humanity."  

He wrote:

"If I had power and could legislate, I should certainly stop all proselytizing". "I resent the overtures made to Harijans." "Stop all conversion, it is the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth." Poverty doesn't justify conversion.

He also considered Christian missionaries as "a clear libel on Indian humanity." It was Mahatma Gandhi who characterized religious conversions as "pure commerce". And Swami Vivekananda termed religious conversion as "religious perversion

(source: "A Repudiation," Young India, 4 March 1926, in Collected Works, vol. 30 (1968), 70).

"Why should there be an Evangelization of Asia at all? Don't we live in a global society in which we must recognize pluralism in religion just as we do in culture or language? Are not the great religions of Asia good enough and a great legacy for the entire world? Why do Westerners come to India? It is mainly to find spiritual teachings that they didn't find in their own Western Christian backgrounds."  
 
    - says  David Frawley.

Dr. A D Lindsay in the Report of the Commission on Christian Higher Education in India, expressed the Christian motive thus:

"The Christians are convinced that they have a message which alone is a solution for the problems of humanity and therefore of India. They believe themselves to be bearers of good news which they wish to share with others. Their hope and desire is that India may become Christian. They can never acquiesce in the position that different religions are good for different communities, that all religions are fundamentally the same and that it is for each religious community to seek to make the best of the possibilities of its own religion."

The intolerable idea that God only revealed himself to one people and left all the others in darkness is patently absurd.

A Narrow-minded God?
Religions aren't equal, Vatican says

A new Vatican declaration issued yesterday says that only faithful Catholics can attain full salvation from earthly sin, and that other beliefs - including Protestant Christian ones - have defects that render them inferior.

The goal, according to a top Vatican official, is to combat the "so-called theology of religious pluralism," which suggests that Catholics are on par in God's eyes with, say, Jews, Muslims or Hindus.

(source: Religions aren't equal, Vatican says). Also refer to chapter on Conversion. Refer to The War of Religions and The Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre.

Extra ecclesia nulla salus (Outside the Church there is no salvation)

The Christian church considers itself to be the only true mediator between God and men. In the controversies against false doctrines and heresies, Bishop Cyprian of Carthage, in about the middle of the third century, coined the sentence “extra ecclesia nulla salus,” which means, “outside the church there is no salvation.”  

Paul Tillich (1886 - 1965) the renowned Protestant theologian. He studied theology at the universities of Berlin, Tubingen and Halle before being ordained as a minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1912. After the war he taught theology in several universities until being dismissed in 1933 because of his opposition to Adolph Hitler. He emigrated to the United States and began teaching at the Union Theological Seminary in New York City. This was followed by periods at Harvard University and the University of Chicago.

He argued frequently and convincingly that:

"One of the worst mistakes made by Western religions was transmogrifying the Concept of "God" into a Being, which necessitated endless wars to determine whose Supreme Being was really "God."  

(source: The my 'God is better than your God' madness - By Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D). Refer to Christian Supremacy: Pushing the Dhimmitude of Non-Christians in America and The Burningcross

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) has written:

"Philosophically there was nothing extraordinary in Christian principles. From the point of view of sacrifice, it seemed to me that the Hindus greatly surpassed the Christians. It was impossible for me to regard Christianity as a perfect religion or the greatest of all religions. "

Gandhi was only twenty-four when these skirmishes with Christian missionaries occurred. This shows an amazing maturity of thought at this young age. During his life several Christian missionaries met him and tried relentlessly to convince him about the uniqueness of Christianity and the infallibility of the Bible. Gandhi was frank enough to tell them about their folly and the absurdity of their beliefs. 

He wrote: "Missionaries were thus prime agents of an intrusive 'cultural imperialism.'

Madhu Kishwar is an Indian activist, writer and publisher. She started the magazine 'Manushi' which became a rage in Delhi. She writes: 

" Monotheistic faiths have consistently claimed that the commandments of their Gods are somehow more superior and justified than those of other faiths. "

"The dominant forms of international mass media have deeply imbibed a distorted Eurocentric worldview, with its tendency to see the cultures and faiths of non-European peoples as intrinsically inferior and backward, as mainly of anthropological interest, existing as a curious hangover of a lower stage in the evolution of human kind. Therefore, instead of leading to greater understanding, fleeting mass media images of alien practices, when viewed in very different cultures, have so far tended to increase divisions, strengthen prejudices and negative stereotypes."

Thomas Jefferson  (1743-1826) a liberal Christian President of the US, recognized very early the deleterious impact of religion on a pluralistic America which was then getting established. Writing about religion, he said that its negative potential “has been severely felt by mankind, and has filled the history of ten or twelve centuries with too many atrocities not to merit a proscription from meddling with government"

He also objected to religious conversions rather strongly when he said that:

Seeking Harvest in India ? Pope's Concern Is Geopolitical Not Spiritual

Tobacco companies and the Christianity Inc are today in the same boat. They are rapidly loosing customers in the West. Now they are seeking a “rich harvest in the East” as very eloquently expressed by the Pope on his last visit to India.

"As Pope visits India, the Vatican's main concern is survival in an indifferent, even hostile world," says Dr. N.S. Rajaram. "It is now facing threats on two sides - collapse of Christianity in the West, and the expansion of Islam in its neighborhood from the Caucasus to Kosovo."

Europe "seems more and more like a series of tourist-trod monuments to Christianity's past." For example, in France only one in 20 people bothers to go to church anymore; in the U.S., that ratio is one in three. The story quotes a pastor in northern France who says, "What's interesting isn't that there are fewer people in church, but that there are any at all." In England, there are 25 million people who identify the Church of England as their denomination, but only slightly more than one million go to church every week. And in Italy, although 85% of the population call themselves Roman Catholics, as few as 15% bother to attend church. (Refer to The Withering of Christianity in Europe ).

In Ecelesia on Asia released in Delhi in November 1999, Pope John Paul (1920 - 2005) declared:

" Just as in the first millennium, the Cross was planted on the soil of Europe, and in the second on that of the Americas and Africa, we can pray that in the third Christian millennium a great harvest of faith will be reaped in this vast and vital continent. He fervently endorsed the call of his Bishops, the heart of the Church in Asia will be restless until the whole of Asia finds its rest in the peace of Christ, the Risen Lord."

How does the Church pursue this goal in the face of the Supreme Court's emphatic verdict that the freedom to propagate does not include freedom to convert, that conversion is in fact an assault on the freedom of conscience that our Constitution guarantees to the persons the proselytizers target?

The Pope also ignored calls by Hindus that he apologise for atrocities committed by the Portuguese on people in colonies like Goa during the dark days of the Inquisition, and also for carrying out forcible conversions.

The Pope’s Asia: a small Church, a great future

In remembering his 1996 trip to Manila in Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way, a book he published last year, the Pope said: “In Manila I had before me the whole of Asia. So many Christians! And millions of people in the continent who do not Christ yet! I have great faith in the Churches of the Philippines and Korea. Asia is our common goal for the third millennium.” Home to two thirds of the world’s population, half of them young, Asia is the continent of the future.

In an Asian environment closely tied to traditions that are oftentimes self-centred, a strategy of localisation goes hand in hand with an overall missionary thrust. Thus, John Paul has urged Catholics to make a commitment to evangelize the continent and the world.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad, or World Hindu Council, which orchestrated demonstrations in advance of the visit said the Pope's comments were "an abuse of hospitality". "The Pope came to India specifically to further the Christian idea of conversion. We will not allow this to happen," spokesman Lokesh Pratap Singh said. Other religious leaders also made veiled criticisms. "Religious people are more busy in increasing the number of their followers rather than paying attention to the challenges besetting religion," Jain guru Acharya Mahaprajna told reporters.

Why this war on Hinduism?- These two (Christianity and Islam) hostile ideologies, flawed because they are not based on human experience but on spurious and fantastic literature, are based on a priori illusion that human beings are genetically flawed and can be redeemed only by symbolic conversion and the acceptance of their bookish deity. For instance, if the Christian and Islamic clergy do not propagate and force their sterile ideologies down the throats of unsuspecting or helpless people through dubious means, or do not force them to stay on with censure and punishment, their religions would be wiped out in decades. Europe is a primary example.

Spiritual Imperialism ?

Western obsession for promoting religious conversions under the aegis of India's Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.

In 1984, the then Episcopal Bishop of Newark (NJ), John Shelby Spong visited India and wrote the following: 

“what I learned about Hinduism enhanced my appreciation for this ancient religious tradition. I saw a beauty in it that was enviable, and I found many points where Christians and Hindus are seeking to deal with the same human needs in remarkably similar ways”. 

He admired the absence of the “spirit of missionary imperialism” in Hinduism and questioned whether or not the “Christian claims to possess infallibility or ultimate truth are not signs of a brittle pettiness that cannot endure”.

It was to such an India that Pope John Paul II made his second coming in Nov. 1999 and emphatically declared that evangelism was the right and duty of the Church.

Indeed the Pope chose to sign the 'Ecelesia on Asia,' the momentous document which called for ''reaping a great harvest of faith in Asia in the third Christian millennium,'' in New Delhi. This was a direct kick in the teeth of the BJP that long accused the church of poaching Hindus to be in its Catholic flock. In Gujarat, Hindu chauvinism found a new target in the much larger and more prosperous Muslim minority which found itself the target of the vicious 2002 pogrom which left thousands dead and tens of thousands homeless.

But then, recognizing the true nature of the pro-Hindu enterprise, secular parties joined hands with Sonia Gandhi's Congress party to roundly defeat the BJP in the May general elections last year. Clearly the electorate ditched the 'Ram versus Rome' argument and was happy that Sonia Gandhi had renounced the prime ministership offered to her and instead entrusted it to Manmohan Singh, a former World Bank economist and a Sikh by faith. Gandhi retained for herself the chair of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition. By itself the position is an enormously influential one. It also insulates Gandhi sufficiently from charges by ranting Hindu fanatics that she is actually an agent of the Vatican in Rome.

But Pope John Paul II would be remembered best in India for fast-tracking sainthood for Mother Teresa, the universally beloved founder of the Missionaries of Charity that is known best for its work among the poorest of the poor in the eastern city of Kolkata.

At the same time, the institution pays little attention to poverty in Latin America because that continent is already predominantly Catholic.

Reasons to grieve for the Pope? - By Koenraad Elst

Your exercise in pondering "why India grieves for Pope John Paul II" is full of dishonourable sycophancy. . It disregards the truly good points in his papacy, esp. his stand against Communism, and instead limits itself to a gleeful support for Christian aggression against the Indian religions. It also displays a lack of logic.

The Pope's candid statement of contempt for all non-Christian religions, indeed his declaration of war against all Asian religions, only proved the correct assessment of Church plans by the BJP and by every honest observer who had "long accused the Church of poaching Hindus to be in the Catholic flock". In this sense, the Pope's statement was a kick in the teeth of the secularists who had always derided this observation as a case of "Hindutva paranoid hate-mongering" and what not. Your columnist should have understood that much himself, after writing that "Pope John Paul II made his second coming in Nov. 1999 and emphatically declared that evangelism was the right and duty of the Church".

For good measure, don't forget to add Buddhists, "Animists", even Muslims, since they are all fair game for the missionary poachers. And Protestants as well. The Pope condemned the Protestant missionaries who poach on Catholics in Latin America as rapacious wolves; doesn't that make him deserve a "kick in the teeth" too? You also claim that the percentage of Christians is declining. That is not what the census shows, and it is completely at variance with the victory bulletins which the missionaries send to their sponsors back home. In these bulletins, it is patiently explained that the official figures differ from the true figures.

Invasion of Iraq and the Ushering in of Global Christendom and Pax-Americana ?

While the Western press is awash with stories, real and exaggerated, about ‘Islamic fundamentalists’, rarely is mention made about Christian fundamentalists, who, with their vast resources and close links with the current American administration, are a potentially more menacing threat than their Muslim counterparts. According to newspaper reports more than a third of Americans are associated with one or the other Christian fundamentalist outfit, most of which are fiercely anti-communist, anti-Muslim and are passionate advocates of free-market capitalism, global American hegemony and the myth of the civilizing mission of white America. In recent years, these fundamentalist groups have been engaged in aggressive missionary work in other countries as well, including in the so-called ‘Third World’. Fired by a passionate hatred for other religions, which they dismiss as ‘false’ and even ‘Satanic’, they are today among the most well-funded missionary groups in large parts of Asia and Africa.
