Ancient India: Cradle of Humanity

Louis Francois Jacolliot (1837-1890), who worked in French India as a government official and was at one time President of the Court in Chandranagar, translated numerous Vedic hymns, the Manusmriti, and the Tamil work, Kural.  

His masterpiece, La Bible dans l'Inde, stirred a storm of controversy. 

He praised the Vedas in his Sons of God, and said:

"The Hindu revelation, which proclaims the slow and gradual formation of worlds, is of all revelations the only one whose ideas are in complete harmony with modern science. " 

(source: India and World Civilization By D. P. Singhal - Pan Macmillan Limited. 1993 part II p. 241 - 242).

In the year 1869 a Frenchman, Louis Jacolliot, who had been a chief judge in Chandernagore (erstwhile French India) wrote a book, ‘La Bible dans I’Inde’, in French which was translated the following year into English.  

Louis Jacolliot had said

“Land of ancient India
Cradle of humanity, hail
Hail ! revered motherland,
Whom centuries of brutal invasions
Have not yet buried
Under the dust of oblivision. 
Hail ! Fatherland of faith,
Of love, of poetry and of science,
May we hail a revival of thy past
In our Western future!"

The Fate of Secularism in America?  

Robert Green Ingersoll [1833-1899] Well known post civil war American political speechmaker and Secular-Humanist. Among his admirers were president James Garfield, poet Walt Whitman, General Ulysses S. Grant, industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, inventor Thomas Edison, and Mark Twain.

"Christianity did not come with tidings of great joy, but with a message of eternal grief. It came with the threat of everlasting torture on its lips. It meant war on earth and perdition hereafter." - A Christmas Sermon 1891.

(source: Great Minds - atheistempire.com).

Since first arriving in the New World, resource-hungry invaders have been systematically persecuting indigenous tribal peoples – all in the name of God. 

As author Norman Lewis (1908 - 2003) notes: 

“The great human tragedy of the missionary conquest of the Pacific is being repeated now in all ‘untouched’ parts of the world. In another thirty years no trace of aboriginal life anywhere will have survived. Many Christian missionaries have perpetrated the destruction of native cultures through their ruthless and relentless practices – from the stripping of forests and theft of land to the wholesale enslavement of populations."

(source: The Missionaries: God Against the Indians – By Norman Lewis - back cover). Refer to Crimes of Christianity - By G W Foote and J M Wheeler Progressive Publishing Co. London. 1887. Refer to Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress - By Howard Zinn

Christian plurality is sometimes merely a statement of tolerance, and nothing more: 'Love thy neighbor' but do not forget that this neighbor will be going to hell, unless you can save him from his backwardness. 

Despite a freedom-loving outer lifestyle, Western civilization largely fails to pursue spirituality with freedom.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) American president said:

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute-where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishoners for whom to vote-where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference-and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."

General Marquis De Lafayette (1757-1834) French Soldier and Statesman remarked:

"If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy."

(source: What Some Famous People Have Said About Christianity - burningcross.com).   

Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951) was an American novelist and playwright. In 1930 he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American society and capitalist values. He has observed that:

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag, carrying a Cross."

Richard Dawkins (1941 - ) Is the eminent British ethologist evolutionary theorist, and popular science writer who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair in the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He is the author of The God Delusion

‘Fundamentalist Christianity is on the rise among the electorate of the world's only superpower, right up to and including the President. If you believe the surveys, 45 percent of Americans, that's about 135 million people, believe the universe is less than ten thousand years old.’

(source: The Root of All Evil - wikipedia.org and worldnetdaily.com).

While most religious-right leaders have given lip service to Church/State separation, many have periodically let the mask slip - and sometimes slip badly. 

Tom DeLay, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) at the First Baptist Church of Pearland, Texas, on April 12, 2002 said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of 'Where did I come from?' 'Why am I here?' 'Where am I going?' 'Does life have any meaningful purpose?' Only Christianity offers a way to understand that physical and moral border. Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world -- only Christianity."

David Chilton (1951 - 1997) in The Days of Vengeance: An Exposition of the Book of Revelation (1984).

"The god of Judaism is the devil. The Jew will not be recognized by God as one of His chosen people until he abandons his demonic religion and returns to the faith of his fathers - the faith which embraces Jesus Christ and His Gospel."

Jerry Lamon Falwell (1933 -  ) American fundamentalist Baptist pastor. He also founded of the Moral Majority movement in 1979 and Liberty University in 1971 has said:

“I hope I live to see the day, when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again, and Christians will be running them.” and “AIDS is the wrath of God against homosexuals”

The Reverend Sun Myung Moon (1920 -  )  the owner of the Washington Times and the head of the well-funded Unification Church, said that 

“we must have an autocratic theocracy to rule the world. So we cannot separate the political field from the religious. My dream is to organize a Christian political party including the Protestant denominations, Catholic and all religious sects. We can embrace the religious world in one arm and the political world in the other.”

Gary North of the Institute for Christian Economics has said:

"This is God's world, not Satan's. Christians are the lawful heirs, not non-Christians."

Jay Grimstead of the Coalition on Revival said:

"We are to make Bible-obeying disciples of anybody that gets in our way."

Bailey Smith expressed that:

"With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew."

Joseph Morecraft  of the Chalcedon Presbyterian Church, "Biblical Role of Civil Government" speech delivered on August 21, 1993 at the Biblical Worldview and Christian Education Conference.

"Nobody has the right to worship on this planet any other God than Jehovah. And therefore the state does not have the responsibility to defend anybody's pseudo-right to worship an idol."

Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin noted:

“George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States, he was appointed by God.”

Randall Terry (1959) Christian activist and Reconstructionist, founder of the radical anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, recently told a gathering in Washington that he wants to build a Christian nation.

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."

"Our goal must be simple. We must have a Christian nation built on God's law, on the Ten Commandments. No apologies."

“Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called on by god to conquer this country”

"For the first time ever, everything is in place for the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ."

Why this War on Hinduism? By George Thundiparambil  

"That the Supreme can be worshipped in any form is a concept unique to Hinduism."

***

"Evangelical Christianity, born in England and nurtured in the United States , is leaving home."

                    -  Paul Nussbaum, author of Evangelical Christianity shifting outside West - Philadelphia Inquirer  Feb 20, 2006.

***

What would you do if someone declared a war on you? Old wisdom says there are two options in such a scenario. Resist and fight back with all your might, even if the enemy is the strongest of giants. Or, if you cannot stomach the fight, switch sides and join the enemy!

In the fight against Evangelists and Jihadis, Hindus too have the choice. Fight and save dharma, or convert and submit to adharma!  The enemies are not targeting the Hindus’ material wealth, but their spiritual wealth accumulated over numerous millennia by the immense yagas of their ancestors.

 

Rishi (Sage) Vyasa wrote at the end of The Mahabharata Epic: "Dharma is that by which everything endures."

"That the Supreme can be worshipped in any form is a concept unique to Hinduism."

***

Even if the enemy were your brother, Hindu wisdom advises against making compromises with adharma. 

The greatest expositor of dharma, Sage Vyasa, speaks at the end of Mahabharata

“Dharma is that by which everything endures. It is the substratum of everything. It is untranslatable into any language. Through desire for wealth or out of greed or fear, do not give up dharma, even to save your own life. Dharma is eternal happiness.”

If the Christian and Islamic clergy do not propagate and force their 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. Europe is a primary example.

The underlying scriptural dynamics that make Muslims target Hindus is the same as those which make the Christians target Hindus.

The phenomenal Hindu tolerance of other creeds, even of Christianity and Islam, arise from the fundamental belief that humans are basically innocent and that dharma is the innate element that connects with eternity.

They also know that if all kinds of people were to become educated and come to know their rights and discern what is right and wrong (as mentioned in Genesis), the only religions that would continue to thrive would be Hinduism and all those natural religions that assume humankind and all natural existence as innocent and originally good. Moreover, they also know that the followers of natural religions can easily and fearlessly conduct pious lives without the need of a professional clergy or organised institutions to preach goodness or to carry out acts of compassion. Goodness and compassion are innate in every creature, at least as long as there are no professional god men walking around preaching original evil and hate. But most Hindus, are not aware of the real nature of the enemy, or the war declared upon them.

The USA might remain a world super power for a long time to come, and the NeoCons (or by whatever names these Christian fanatics are called) might have a say in the US government for all time to come, but what can a Hindu (under attack) in India gain by making friends with these insane men, who are practically the same kind as all bin Ladens of this world? George Bushs fight against Islamic terrorism might evoke a false sense of camaraderie with him and his entourage, but it is worthwhile to keep in mind that Bush is the major member of a big team from all over the world collecting money and resources for organisations and individuals who have vowed to convert all the
remaining heathens of this world.

 

       

George Bush was born again as an evangelical Christian in 1985 with the help of Evangelist Billy Graham

A jingoistic president, multi-million dollar corporations, high technology, a grand if furtive mission, networks spanning the globe, and biblical invocations. And its got India in its crosshair.

Christianity's claims to an exclusive and universal salvation with a naked grab for global resources.

 

The Vatican, a prime hate propagandist and the number one enemy of Hindus, today has its fingers in all sections of the media.

Refer to War For Souls And Empire In Christ's Name - countercurrents.org.  Refer to The multi-million dollar business called evangelism - By David Barnett.

***

That is the innate force that drives the two adharmic forces to target Hinduism as the remaining and only hindrance to pursuing their scriptural objectives. Hindu dharma is the lamp these two asuric forces want to extinguish, so that their evil ideologies can prevail. Unfortunately, many Hindus fail to perceive their enemies as the forces of darkness.

For the NeoCon fanatics, the two things that stand between them and their scriptural objective, which is the materialisation of the prophecy of doom (biblical apocalypse), are the Hindu heathens and the remaining stable ecology of the planet. According to their diabolical book, their Prophet of doom (Jesus Christ) will appear before them and take them to the netherworld of sinners only when no heathen exists on this earth and our blessed planet earth is completely destroyed.

As long as a Hindu lives and as long as a virgin tree stands on this earth, the two demonic religions and their ideologies cannot prevail. They know it, and hence the declaration of war on Hindus. The only redemption these two alien and hostile religions can offer human beings is the eternity of doom (as looked forward to by Christians and Muslims), which Hindus call adharma. It is the dharma of all Hindus to save Sanatana Dharma and offer all humankind the eternity of freedom and goodness. In order for dharma to prevail, all the Hindus have to do is to remain unconquered; whatever might be its costs. Not to let the light go out, so to speak. For this purpose, it is the imminent need of the Hindu community to organise and chart out an overarching and global plan to combat and subdue the enemies who scheme and work for their extinction.

The Vatican, a prime hate propagandist and the number one enemy of Hindus, today has its fingers in all sections of the media (radio in 34 languages all over the globe, television, newspaper and internet). Therefore, one of the primary objectives of the plan would be the building up of a Hindu media infrastructure at national and international levels, which can not only neutralise the enemy campaign, but can also proactively revitalise the message of dharma and the Hindu values of life.

The decline of
Hindu dharma in modern history may be seen as directly proportional to the rise of Christianity and Islam in the world. At the time of the birth of Christianity and Islam, both were looked down upon as vile superstitions by contemporary religionists in their respective places of birth.

 

American theocracy? A growing mass of evangelical, fundamentalist and Pentecostal Christianity, expressed politically by the religious right; has led to eventual erosion of the accepted degree of separation between church and state.  

Christianity's claims to an exclusive and universal salvation with a naked grab for global resources. Today, after two millennia of bloodcurdling evangelism and jihad, almost all of the Natural Religions have completely disappeared, leaving Hindu dharma reeling with a grudgingly granted second-class status as a religion all over the world, even in its place of birth. Many of the so-called secular countries in the West including France and Italy do not even recognize Hinduism as a religion. Despite a full century of scientific insights attesting to the antiquity of life and the greater antiquity of the Earth, more than half the American population believes that the entire cosmos was created 6,000 years ago.

Today, after two millennia of bloodcurdling evangelism and jihad, almost all of the Natural Religions have completely disappeared, leaving Hindu dharma reeling with a grudgingly granted second-class status as a religion all over the world, even in its place of birth. Nepal is an exception which may no longer be; it is only a matter of time. Many of the so-called secular countries in the West including France and Italy do not even recognize Hinduism as a religion.

The war against Hindus is a media war, beginning in textbooks, but global in its scale. The mainstream world media, acting like little bastards of the god in paradise, condones the missionary activities in Asia and Africa by just ignoring it. To win the war against injustice and the right to hold on to one’s culture and tradition, the Hindu must rise with the opportunity.

Invoking the lofty Bhagavad Gita of the Hindus to justify Judeo-Christianity's most modern bloodlust?
Linking Sublime philosophy of Hindu scriptures to war waged by political entities in Mideast ?

"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."
           
                                     - Mark Twain (1835-1910) one of the most widely loved and celebrated American writers.

Christian Sailer and Gert-Joachim Hetzel Bavarian lawyers said in their submission "on behalf of some parents of minors" that the Bible contained passages of "a gruesomeness difficult to exceed" which are glorified as the will of God.

"It preaches genocide, racism, enmity towards Jews, gruesome executions for adulterers and homosexuals, the murder of one's own children and many other perversities," the submission said. The book should therefore be kept on the "not for children" list so long as the "bloodthirsty and human rights-violating passages" were not removed.  

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (1888-1975) was one of the most profound philosophers of this century, author and educationalist. Radhakrishnan was also a professor of Eastern Religions at Oxford and later became the second President of free India. He has observed:

“The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one Jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien cults. They invoke Divine Sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam. He went on to remark: “Wars of Religion which are the outcome of fanaticism that prompts and justifies the extermination of aliens of different creeds are practically unknown in Hindu India.”   

"The Christian desire for world dominion transformed the simple faith of Jesus into a fiercely proselytizing creed. After the time of Constantine, authorities, clerical and secular, displayed systematic intolerance towards other forms of religious belief, taking shelter under the words 'He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth."

The Vishnu strategy - By Conn Hallinan

Conn Hallinan is a provost at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and foreign policy analyst Foreign Policy in Focus. He has recently written an article - The Vishnu Strategy blaming the war in the Mideast on Lord Vishnu:

“The Supreme Lord said: I am death, the mighty destroyer of the world, out to destroy.” According to the great Hindu text Bhagavad-Gita, Vishnu delivered that speech to Prince Arjuna before a great battle almost eight millennia ago. Physicist Robert Oppenheimer paraphrased it in 1945 to describe the explosion of the atomic bomb. The latest channeling of the Hindu god can be found in an Israeli commander's evaluation of last summer's war with Lebanon: “What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs.”

The commander was decrying the way Israel, the United States, and Great Britain wage war these days, which has increasingly become an exercise in mass destruction. In the last five years, Vishnu has visited Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. The result has been death and ruin on a biblical—or more aptly, a Bhagavad-Gita—scale.

For rest of the article refer to - The Vishnu strategy - By Conn Hallinan - Foreign Policy in Focus.

Readers opinion on this article:

"Mr. Hallinan would do well to read the entire Bhagvad Gita and its context so that he does not quote the Gita out of context; the line quoted is only to explain to Arjuna that all that is created is out of Vishnu (Krishna) and all that perishes goes back unto HIM.

Misquote and misrepresent the world's most ancient and peaceful religion by misusing Vishnu's name. Your so called Christian religion has been a plague on the world since its inception and brought death and destruction to many civilizations. You have enslaved, raped and massacred millions throughout this world and even committed genocide in Africa, Germany , North and South America .  

So the author, ignoring the My Lai Massacre and Auschwitz Strategies (Refer to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and The Inquisition) has found it necessary to invoke the lofty Bhagavat Gita of the Hindus to justify Judeo-Christianity's most modern bloodlust? Stunning. Simply stunning. I'm sure that Vishnu The Preserver (Shiva is The Destroyer) will forgive him his gross ignorance and bigotry. Words fail me to see such an egregious example of crass and out-of-context analogy between "what we did was insane and monstrous: we covered entire towns in cluster bombs" and the Bhagavad Gita, a text revered even by non-Hindus as explaining Hindu philosophy, in the context of Prince Arjuna compelled to decide, on the battlefield, whether he should fight or flee."

 

Scene of Rapture.

The mindless massacres and the dismemberment of children in Iraq conducted by these very, yes, BIBLICAL followers of Jesus and Jehovah and Zion have to be rationalized as a "Vishnu Strategy".

A better analogies closer to home, in the Christian concepts of Armageddon. Evangelical beliefs of Jesus coming back to massacre the "evil ones".

"Liberally spraying the incorrect " Krishna = destroyer" reference, and a silly notion of a "Vishnu strategy", did it ever occur to the author to do some research? The analogy adds nothing to his points, anyway. He could have found better analogies closer to home, in the Christian concepts of Armageddon, ("The end of the world as we know it is rapidly approaching," John Hagee, the pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas wrote in his most recent book, "Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World". "Just before us is a nuclear countdown with Iran ," he wrote, "followed by Ezekiel's war (as described in Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39), and then the final battle -- the Battle of Armageddon.") and evangelical beliefs of Jesus coming back to massacre the "evil ones"."

The Hail Mary Strategy - By Ari Saja

Chances of success are about … well, the same as those of President Bush’s Urge to Surge in Eyerak, to miraculously stop the daily carnage without talking to any of the parties that have any influence there.

How did America come to this sorry state? What happened to all the billions of dollars poured into the Think Tanks and the famous universities, with their brilliant faculty, the famous American professionalism giving the deep, detailed understanding of how any part of the world works. Hallinan's bigotry destroys his thesis on a - - well- - JESUS scale. How can one take a guy seriously if he is THIS bigoted and stupid at his age?

Sadly, it is routine in the American and British establishments for “experts” to misquote and distort the sacred beliefs of others" religions while citing the atrocities conducted by their own. Thus, the mindless massacres and the dismemberment of children conducted by these very, yes, BIBLICAL followers of Jesus and Jehovah and Zion have to be rationalized as a "Vishnu Strategy",
never mind that in Hindu lore, Vishnu is the Protector, not the Destroyer. Noooo, they can’t be because of the poor upbringing and education imparted to Western leaders. 

Hallinan's use of the term "Vishnu" for this idiocy is blatantly racist and bigoted. It"s not really extraordinary, because he is merely mediocre. He is no worse than fellow racist-bigots in the American and British foreign policy establishments.

There is little hope for American foreign policy if even its critics are this stupid.

Let Israel be Jewish
Jews were never persecuted in India

According to David Chilton (1951 - 1997) One of the tasks of Christians is to replace Judaism with Christianity. He has said:

"The god of Judaism is the devil. The Jew will not be recognized by God as one of His chosen people until he abandons his demonic religion and returns to the faith of his fathers--the faith which embraces Jesus Christ and His Gospel."

Tomas de Torquemada first grand inquisitor in Spain, whose name has become synonymous with the Christian Inquisition's horror, religious bigotry, and cruel fanaticism. Torquemada presided over the burning of over 2,000 Jews and numerous other heretics. Primarily targeted were Spain's conversos, or Jews who had been baptized into Catholicism. Stories about Jews murdering Christian children, otherwise known as blood libel, had been circulating throughout Europe for centuries. The accounts exist entirely without evidence, arguably the result of paranoia, propaganda and anti-semitism - but the murder of Jews by Christians is equally documented, and Torquemada was absolutely convinced that Jews would be the ruination of Catholic Spain.

The Pope agreed to allow the Inquisition in 1481, and those arrested and given four choices. They could confess, pay a penalty, endure public torture, or be burned at the stake. Quite often, those arrested were subjected to all of the above. Torquemada's own grandmother was a converso, but he continued to elevate the level of his Inquisition to that of an ethnic cleansing or a full-blown massacre. But Torquemada's persecution of the Jews in Spain bears a remarkable similarity to Hitler's persecution of the Jews in Europe before and during World War II.

(source: Tomas de Torquemada - rotten.com).

Israel has allowed Daystar, a Texas-based Christian evangelical TV channel to telecast into Israeli homes and attempt to proselytize Israel’s five million Jews. Is this religious freedom or adding insult to the Jewish injury?

For two thousand years, the Jews were systematically persecuted everywhere, except in India. The Christian Bible instituted religiously motivated anti-Semitism, and continues to remain the most comprehensive anti-Semitic scripture. Norman Beck, a distinguished academic and Lutheran theologian, has catalogued over 450 anti-Semitic verses found in Christian lectionaries and calls for eliminating the anti-Semitic polemic

The Church, since the promulgation of the acts of the Council of Elvira (~300 CE), has portrayed the Jews as “the enemies of the Heavenly Majesty. ” Christian teachings falsely demonize the Jews as “Christ-killers,” “Children of the Devil,” “Brood of vipers,” etc., and pronounce all future generations of the Jews guilty of ‘killing’ Christ. The Christian Bible declares, “The Devil is the father of the Jews.” Church fathers have demonized the Jews as cannibals that ate their own children. The Fourth Lateran Council (1215 CE) decreed that the Jew be ghettoized and forced to wear the Jewish dress, conical hat, and the “Jew badge” - usually a yellow circle, symbolic of the Jew as betrayer of Christ for “gold,” an image that fused religious and economic anti-Semitism. Intensely persecuted, especially during the infamous Inquisitions, some Jews converted to Christianity. Even that would not remove the ‘stigma’ of having been a Jew. Pope Gregory I warned that “a Jew returns to his faith like a dog to his vomit. ”

Lest one should think that the Catholic Church alone is culpable of anti-Semitism, the Protestant Church has been as much anti-Semitic. After all, every denomination derives its religiously justified anti-Semitism from the Christian Bible. Erasmus, who influenced Martin Luther, infamously declared: “If it is part of a good Christian to detest the Jews, then we are all good Christians.” 

Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) was initially kind towards the Jews as he attempted to convert them. Once his attempts failed, he wrote the most vicious anti-Semitic tract: On the Jews and their Lies. In that tract, Luther justified the terrible sufferings of the Jews over 1, 400 years in exile and chastised them for not learning their lesson. 

Luther urged Christians to burn the Jewish synagogues and expel the Jews. He held that the Jewish misfortune is proof of Christian truth and Jewish error from scripture.

 Luther called the Jews “bloodhounds” and argued that Christians are at fault in “not slaying the Jews.”
