Comments:	Recently there was a TV program on Popes' comments on the Islam. With the spoke persons of Church and Islam, Shri Devendra Swaroop, Editor, Panchjanya, and one Mr Rajendra Yadav were participating in the debate. Mr Yadav gave some contradictory statements initially (as usual), but after a comment by Sh. Devendra Swaroop, the person became furious and informed that the message of Bhgavad Geeta is voilence and nothing else. He also referred somebody from a Western country. Sh. Swaroop tried to explain the Philosophy of Geeta, but he was not allowed to speak, and Mr Yadav interrupted with a statement that every violence has some or the other philosophical justification. The statement infuriated me, as I thought that does Mr Yadav has the same courage to say similar things about Bible or Koran? I could instantly think of another answer, a more practical one, that-if the message of Geeta had been violence 'only' Mr Yadav would have not been standing here and giving such an irresponsible interpretation of the Great Epic in front of everybody. He would have received a befitting reply instantly. This is an excellent forum to discus such matters. I ask every wise Hindu of the world: DOES GEETA TEACHES VIOLENCE ONLY? (Editor’s Note: Non-violence is the ideal for the individual, but society needs protection and cannot remain non-violent in the face of aggression. The Gita mentions repeatedly that ahimsa, or non-violence, is the highest virtue. The Bhagavad Gita certainly does not advocate war or violence; what it advocates is the active and Selfless defence of Dharma. Please refer to chapter on Hindu Scriptures. Thanks).

Knowing the past helps us shape the future so let us never forget who we are and what are forefathers have contributed to all of humanity. Further more, let us not forget what happened to us as a society by these acts of violence and defamation of our heritage and culture.

Comments:	Hi Great site on Hinduism. I would like to draw people's attention to the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka especially in the North and East. There is a huge food crisis already looming with many of the displaced undergoing or facing starvation. Please boycott Sri Lanka as a tourist destination (ref: Boycott of South Africa during Apartheid regime) and pressurize governments and international agencies to take action. This is war on Hindus in a demonic fashion.

One more thing, my thought is - let us change INDIAN education system to learn Vedas slowly (similar to ancient gur kulas) - this is to be started at one point - may be it has to be started an agitation by your kind of people with our support - think about it. Thanks...Anjan.

Comments:	Very good site, making people aware of the good in Hinduism. Many Christian missionaries mainly use "caste" and "untouchability", for conversion purposes. These people are not aware or do not want to know the truth. The truth is both are part of the administrative set up, of those ancient times, in the "hierarchical system’, which is being followed in modern management practice! Modern day castes are: 1.The rich and the poor. (A rich person of the USA and a poor one of, say, Africa). 2.The British gentleman and the common man. 3.The 5 permanent members of the UNSC. 4.The nuclear club and the NSG. 5.The G8 6. The two houses in the parliament of many democracies like the House Of Lords and House of Commons. (Lok sabha and Rajya Sabha in India) 7.The various cadres in any company or organization, like, (the so called Corporate Honchos) Chairman, MD, Senior, Middle and Junior Management, Staff, labourers, Contractors etc. 8.The many divisions in thousands of other categories. As far as untouchability is concerned, the following example should suffice: The PM or President or any other "BIG person, of any country cannot be approached by a common man easily, even though both are merely citizens of the same country.(This may be for security reasons),but nonetheless, is UNTOUCHABILITY. An ordinary person of a Company or any other place, cannot meet a Chairman or MD of the same. This is also UNTOUCHABILITY! There are thus many examples of caste and UNTOUCHABILITY, which had been, has been and will be present forever, in human history. I pray Lord Ganesha, to protect Hinduism, especially from the fanatical Western Missionaries, who want to capture political power in non-Christian countries by conversion, using the espionage agencies like the CIA and the Vatican.

I am impressed by the depth of the subjects you have discussed on your web page. I salute you. You are the true ambassador of our culture. May God bless you in your selfless efforts in propagating truth all over the world. By the way, like so many others, I am in love with the previous name " A Tribute to Hinduism". Of course I also know that you have decided to change the name after a lot of soul searching. It so happened the association I have started in my town five years ago is known as "Hindu Wisdom Club." I hope and pray that you will succeed in all your endeavors. Kindly let me know when your book is published. I would like to buy a copy. If I can be of any help, please let me know.

Comments:	Dear Sushma: Thanks for what you have done for Hinduism. I have not gone through it yet. But I would like to bring one thing to your attention. Please do not allow pseudo-scientific stuff on your site. That impresses nobody in this age. There was quite some on 'atributetohinduism'. Also when I sent my post, the subsequent page said 'your form has been sent'. It should have said 'your message has been sent'. Then there should have been options like 1. Go to home page 2. Go to the page that you were going through, etc. And the notice page need not be this blank. Best wishes, Amar Nath. (Editor’s Note: A Tribute to Hinduism/Hindu Wisdom is a resource, an encyclopedia and as such is meant to be a storehouse of information. The material used for this site is from impeccable sources. Much like Hinduism, which is not a dogma but a way of life, this site allows you to take what suits your requirements and gives you the liberty to utilize information as your wish. Thank you for your input. I do value your opinion).

Comments:	I would like to thank the author once again for the effort and time in maintaining this website. I think though the previous name "A Tribute to Hinduism" was more suitable for this website. (Editor's Note: 'A Tribute to Hinduism' name was a tribute to Hinduism's sheer stamina for survival, most other peace-loving religions/philosophies around the globe have succumbed to aggressive intrusions in the past, and today are a mere museum relics.' Hindu Wisdom' name prompts us to the need to preserve this vast, collective wisdom that our rishis (sages) have left for us and for the future generations if Hinduism is to survive. Thanks).

Comments:	Problem in India is India is not being governed by its Natives. Natives have been subjugated for so long that they are still slaves to the West and Islam. We have some Brahmins eating meat and some marrying as second wives to drunken actors who have converted to Islam in order to take said second wife. Then rather than encouraging and partaking in the natural vegetarian nutrition of the country everybody is munching on dead flesh and pepsi infected cola. http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/03/stories/2006090314120100.htm Then you have the above. Can you please put a section on what is the correct nutrition as advised by the scriptures so that the Sanatana Dharma followers can have some references? Living in the West and interacting with the meat eaters I think people can easily come of their track including people born into so called "Brahmin" class. People seem to have lost their way or the plot or both. Thanks.

Comments:	Some one directed this link for review to www.kuruba.org. I have briefly gone through the content. This is a commendable effort to consolidate information about our Hindu culture. As you mentioned in many places, there is no scriptural sanction on 'Caste Discrimination'. Every existence is divine, every caste is divine. We have to change our perceptions to see this reality. In your write-up on Caste System, you used low-caste word 12 times to refer to non-brahmin castes. There is nothing like high caste or low caste. If Hindu culture has to revive, we have to correct this type of notions in peoples mind. Do stop using these high-caste and low-caste references. (Editor’s Note: Hinduism believes that every existence is divine. Each one of us is a spark of the same Divine Flame (God). These references to caste are not mine, they are part of individual writers/authors and their sources have been quoted at the end of each paragraph. Thank you).

Comments:	I want to tell you that I love this site and what was done to get it acknowledged correctly. The only complete is God and constant faith and love in and for Him. I truly believe in the faith myself because of the fact that spiritual enlightenment got me into it and I've been hard at work at practicing my faith in God all of my life because of how I came from a very religious upbringing in my family and you know it's just the point of knowing that I've read the history of Hinduism like reading the history of the Ganges River the way that I love India and the history of it like I love the food from there. I've been at work, too, in reading the Bhagavad Gita like, too, quoting the Bible still now by heart. I'm still following the path that George Harrison led and still is leading. I grew up on George and with him and his spiritual beliefs early on matched that of my own. They still do now and will forever. I've been taking online courses on self-realization and from the Himalayan Academy from Sankarshan Das Adhikari and knowing that studied under Prabhupada. I'm still true to my Methodist friends since they watched me grow up to be the God-conscious person I am today because I'm still following their path, too. They never let me down, either and I still enjoy that fellowship with them because it's like how I enjoy the online fellowship of the gurus that I've talked to and will communicate with forever. The friendship that I have with Olivia and Dhani is great, too and I'm doing charity work with Olivia.

Comments:	Please also change the words "The Sanskrit Nagara (capital) was corrupted by the Cambodian tongue to Nokor and then to Angkor.", as its connotative meaning is that the Cambodian tongue is corrupt, make it like:' modified'. The Cambodians are more proud of their culture and they even have the Angkor on their national flag. It is us the eunuch 'Indians' with a slavish attitude have nothing of that in our national symbols and are even afraid to sing 'Vande mataram'. Please also mention that the Khmer monuments were a continuity of the Dravida vimana style. All South and South East Asian have equally contributed to the religion and there should not be the missionary mindset. Remember the Angkor shows the amount of commitment to Bharateeya civilization on the part of the Khmer. Please do publish something about Prambanan in Indonesia. (Editor’ s Note: Thank you for pointing out the errors in the chapter on Sacred Angkor. I have made the necessary changes to the words that you have suggested. Please refer to chapter Glimpses XII for the Prambanam temple in Indonesia).

Comments:	Dear Mitra, in the new chapter about Angkor, named 'Sacred Angkor', there are a few points to be rectified. The synthesis of Hinduism is purely local and is based on mutual respect for certain cults, which achieve pan-Indian acclaim. The so-called 'spread' of Hinduism to South Asia is a continuation of the Aryan hypothesis that Hinduism was initially a missionary religion in its origins. The South East Asians have been found the first to cultivate rice (Mekong Delta) and thus must have been the progenitors of settled cultures. Neo-Historians like N.Rajaram, David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri) and Kalyanaraman have been arguing for a long time that this version of propaganda is wrong.

Comments:	I wanted to say this site is very inspiring and I hope all our young Hindu youth use this valuable resource. My studies into the motherland and our great culture started when I was 12 years old. I am now 28 years old and I am very proud Hindu. I take great pride in India’s historical accomplishments which are lost on many scholars who continuously focus in on Egypt, Greece, The Romans, Aztecs, Incas, etc...It has bothered me for years that our place in history as never been solidified. India is oldest and great civilization this world has ever seen. Invasions after invasions has not stop our great nation. I want to thank the creator of this site for this wonderful tribute to Hinduism; I rather call our faith Sanatana Dharma, as there is no such word as Hindu in any Indian languages. We should stand tall and proud to be from the greatest lineage people on this earth. Jai Sri Ram, Jai Sri Krishna, Har Har Mahadev!!!!

Comments:	This is the need of the hour: (So, vishnu97@hotmail.com; pl take steps like this. I like this format and to be honest, both are good but let us live in present). Hindu Unity Day in NY was a Great success. Twelfth Hindu Sangathan Divas (Hindu Unity Day) in which more than 700 Hindus representing all sections of the Hindu society enthusiastically participated in New York will be remembered for a very long time to come. We have been too tolerant and too peaceful. We always talk of peace. But, we need to remember that in order to establish peace we have to be the worshipper of Shakti. Disunity amongst us has been the bane of Hindu society. In order to achieve the unity among Hindus, we must stop the internal squabbles. Also, there is an identity crisis in Hindu society. Our excessive emphasis on the divisive factors such as the caste, language and province is the main cause of many of our maladies. It is a matter of great regret that Hindus today have become refugees in their very own country. Kashmiri Hindus are languishing in refugee camps. Young Hindu girls are routinely molested and brutalized in Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Indian Kashmir. Speaking on the subject of "Hindus under Siege," the learned Harvard professor and former Union Cabinet Minister, Dr. Subramanian Swamy dealt squarely with the question of terrorism against Hindus that India faces today. He rejected the often repeated theory of the Islamic intellectuals, pseudo-secularists and the Muslim apologists that it was because of the problems of poverty, lack of education, unemployment, and social discrimination among Muslims that their youth take to the path of terrorism. Dr. Swamy debunked that theory stating that the top-class Islamic terrorists like Osama Bin Laden are, on the other hand, billionaires. Other young terrorists involved in the London bombings of 7/7 were all well educated and employed as doctors, lawyers and accountants. He said the root cause of Islamic terrorism is the application of the outdated Islamic theories of Dar-ul-Islam and Dar-ul-Harb to the civilized democratic societies. The recent documents seized from SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) after the Mumbai blasts make it clear: the goal of Islamic terrorism is to make the Hindu capitulate, convert or simply die a violent death. This Hindus must resist with all their might since Hindus are the target from Coimbatore to Cooch Behar, from Bangalore to Baramula, and from Vadodara to Varanasi. Never again must Hindustan go under foreign rule even if Hindus have to die in millions in a nuclear war. We must win this decisive battle against terrorism and reverse the historical trend of being weak and selfish. Dr. Swamy told the audience that an effective anti-terror strategy is not only to hunt down the terrorists to their training camps but also to make nonsense of their political objectives. If Islamic terrorists want India to let go of our Kashmir, we must instead go over and recapture the Pak-occupied Kashmir. If they want to destroy our temples, then we must instead liberate Kashi Vishwanath and Mathura and three thousand other temples demolished in past by the invading butchers in the name of Islam. If they drive out Hindus from Bangladesh then we should annex a proportionate area of that country to resettle the displaced Hindus. If they want Dar-ul-Islam in India, then instead we'll give them a Hindu Rashtra in its place. Dr. Swamy recalled what Veer Savarkar had said: "If necessary, militarize the Hindus and Hinduize the nation". No more submission, no more compromise, and never to capitulate. The only way is to fight to win. That is the Hindu mindset, the Virat Hindu resolve we need today. Dr. Swamy advocated that those Indian Muslims who openly and proudly acclaim that their ancestors were Hindus are our brothers and sisters. They are a part of our family in Hindustan. India is Hindustan i.e. a land of Hindus and all those who acknowledge their ancestors being Hindus. Outsiders can live here but they cannot be allowed to vote. "We can never accept Vish-Kanyas from Italy as our family," Dr. Swamy added to a roar of laughter and approval from the jubilant audience.

Comments:	I have slowly gone through this site and I am sickened to learn what my Forefathers have gone through at the hands of the Muslims and the rest of the world. (Islam mostly then and still). I always wanted to go and see The Taj Mahal. Now I think it should be pulled down brick by brick and chucked in the ocean. Think what temple or great building existed there before it was torn down to built this Monstrosity for a Murderers wife. Thank you for this site. I was no lover of Muslims in the first place and this just confirms the Beliefs of every Hindu and Sikh in the World that India Stands Proud even today as She did in the Beginning.

The God Krishna has a "rather questionable personal record." Lord Shiva is just "a development of phallic cult." Bhakti is just the reflection of "the complete dependence of the serfs or tenants on the landowners in the context of Indian feudal society." Forgive me if I'm the only one who had tears in my eyes at reading this trash. That paragraph was like tearing my insides out. How dare they speak such rubbish of The lords of the Three worlds of which they have no idea of what they are talking about. Forgive these idiots O Lord Siva!

Achieving societal unity and equality amongst the Hindus by formally and unanimously abandoning caste segregation. It will make the Hindus a solid power block and building block of the nation. 3. To teach each and every Indian to live tolerantly in a multi-dimensional country. We are a people living in a geographic description called India, but we are yet to emerge as a compact NATION. Hope your site will promote these ideas.

Puja and Shradhanjali Sabha - (Paying Homage to the Martyrs and Remembering the Victims). As part of worldwide observance of Hindu Memorial Day, Houston Hindus will hold a shradhanjali sabha (memorial assembly) and pooja, as homage to the martyrs who died fighting for Dharma, and the victims of terrorism unleashed against the Hindus in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Freedom lovers around the world, and Hindus in particular, are requested to observe a minute of silence precisely at 7:00 PM Indian Standard Time on August 14th, 2006. Your minute of silence at this precise time around the world will go a long way in remembering all those who gave up their lives in the defense of Hindu civilization, including the ones that die everyday on the remote mountains and valleys of Kashmir. Your minute will also remember all the victims of religion-inspired barbarism that was unleashed on unsuspecting Hindus around 712 CE, that is continuing even today. The ugly face of this barbarism can be seen in Bangladesh where scores of Hindus and Buddhists are being tormented on a daily basis. And the ones that die on local trains in Mumbai. August 14th is significant as this day the tormentors of Hindus finally managed to take large portions of Hindu lands away from them. Minute of Silence must be observed at the following precise time: USA (Pacific) - 6:30 A.M. USA (Central) - 8:30 A.M. USA (Eastern) - 9:30 A.M. UK - 2:30 P.M.

Comments:	Congratulations on an excellent website. I really enjoyed visiting it. I came across it while surfing the net. I admire your effort and sincerity in creating such a unique knowledge base website for Hindus. Your resplendent efforts had educated a lot of people who know very little about Hinduism including Hindus. Looking forward to future updates. Keep up the great work!

Comments:	It is a great website. It is quite informative. But is composed mainly of Cambodia and not much of Indian temples are noted. They should be added if possible.

Comments:	This is a response to a person - Date: 7/16/06 - 2:22 PM Name: AryaEmail: arya@yahoo.com It is certainly awful what you have written in the tribute to Hinduism website. I am ashamed of such writing bringing difference between south Indian and north Indian. You are unfit to be an Indian and I consider you are a big racist than any Indians. Where do you have evidence that south Indians are Afro Indians and you are original? Hinduism teaches of unity and representation of truth. I have seen many North Indians view that south Indians are Afro Indians. Please show me the evidence. Excavations in Harappa and Mohenja daro say that Dravidians were the first who ruled India. You need to brush up your mind to understand the discoveries and history. I have seen some north Indians saying Aryans, what they are for, nothing. Uneducated nuts, these peoples are like Evils in Indian society. Hey Bharatiya, you say south Indians haven’t contributed anything to India. Just think where it’s richest in India and think if India is divided into north and south. Like you the one who says Arya will have a place less graded than any poor African country. Freshen up your mind and educate your mind before you say silly things about Indian people.

Comments:	I would like to tell you that based on some relational studies - Mlecchas were actually the ethnic Egyptians, Arabs, Africans etc. They were divided into tribes led by Ancient Viziers, eg. Sakas, Tusharas, etc. 'Mel’ = Interaction (not ‘Mal’ = dirt); ‘Icca’ = wish. They called their country vahika-desha. Nagas were ethnic Chineses, Tibetans, Japanese etc. They had animal like qualities as they learnt martial arts. The Middle Kingdom was called Uttar-Kuru. The Turks, Mongols, and Yavanis were Asuric. Jambus, Mlecchas, Nagas were connected by Great Road called ‘Silk’ Route. Pharaoh, Huangdi, and Vedachaya were untied leaders. Celts, Polynesians and Central Americans were also followers of the Vedas.

Comments:	This is reply to Arya's message date 7/16/06. This man seems to be a fan of Hitler. His lines show how narrow minded he is. . Ridiculous! Man, go and study genetics. About which Dravidians he is talking? He might be talking about Mars! Foolish. First war on British was faught by Kittur Chennamma in 1820s. Let him go & study history. It was Aryan Muslims who are responsible for Partition. It is Aryan Simhalese responsible for holocaust of Hindu Tamils. This man is not at all aryan (=civilised) Don't use words like afro-Indians. If this Aryan is still Hindu it is because of South Indians. Otherwise he would have been chanting- Buddham Sharanam Gachhami. Who is responsible for survival of Hinduism? It is because of Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Basavanna that Hinduism is still alive. Has this man heard of: Bhajagovindam, Soundarya Lahari, Shree Bhashya, Vedanta Sara, Vedanta Sangrah, Brahma Sutra Bhashya, Geeta Bhashya, Sharana Sahitya. If Vedas are for Knowledge, then read Vachanas of Kannada for Morality. Tamil literature is one of the best literature of human race. And Sankrit literature for sure. Go to Kerala for Ayurveda. If there are any Sanskrit scholars in India, they probability of finding them is higher in Karnataka. Shame on Hindi belt of North India. Ajanta, Ellora were once Kannada speaking areas. The South Indian Dravidians have been in some respects the best preservers of ancient Vedic culture and traditions, especially when the north of India was dominated by Buddhism and later was affected by Islam. Some modern theories of the origins of both Hinduism and Buddhism focus on the resultant mixture of the "Aryan" and "Dravidian" cultures. Interestingly, the original Indo-Aryan gods like Indra, Agni, Vayu etc. are not the principal gods of present day Hindus. Those Indo-Aryan gods have equivalents in other Indo-European gods worshipped by other Indo-European speaking peoples. Those gods occupied the highest position until the advent of Christianity in those societies, with little discernable trace remaining of the Pre-Indo-European deities and traditions. However in India the traditions of native groups such as the Dravidians seem to have mingled more fluently with those of the migrants. One view is that this unique mingling is what resulted in modern Hinduism. What is a race? It is seen that there are adaptations or variations seen in organisms. These adaptations and variations come from change in genes and chromosomes. All these produce variations which make population different. Because of genetical diversity the populations are different in a given species. Such a populations evolve into races. I believe that pre-Aryan population came to India from Sundaland in prehistoric ages. And westward movement introduced IE language beyond Indus. Adaptions in North India caused Aryan race and adaptions in population who settled in South later caused Dravidian race. Both races have same origin. How Dravidians are different from Aryans? unpronounceable language: Can't you pronounce "Amma" in place of "maa"? Can't you pronounce "Appa" in place of "papa"? In Tamil cow is called "pasu". In Sanskrit animals are called "pashu". Appearance: Then what is race of Lord Krishna? "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravidian_race" Recent studies of the distribution of alleles on the Y chromosome[1][2], micro satellite DNA[3], and mitochondrial DNA[4] in India have cast overwhelmingly strong doubt upon any biological Dravidian "race" as distinct from non-Dravidians in the Indian subcontinent. This doubtfulness applies to both paternal and maternal descent. Since skin color is subject to strong selective pressure, similar skin colors can result from convergent adaptation rather than from genetic relatedness. Sub-Saharan Africans, tribal populations from southern India, and Indigenous Australians have similar skin pigmentation, but genetically they are no more similar than are other widely separated groups.[1] Furthermore, in some parts of the world in which people from different regions have mixed extensively, the connection between skin color and ancestry has been substantially weakened (Parra et al. 2004). In Brazil, for example, skin color is not closely associated with the percentage of recent African ancestors a person has, as estimated from an analysis of genetic variants differing in frequency among continent groups (Parra et al. 2003). Leave these things aside. Face the real enemies.
