Revival
of Paganism in Europe
Pagan revivalists draw inspiration from Hinduism in their quest
to reclaim their own ancestral heritage
Hentry
Hughes wrote:
"Under
Christianity, Europe learned to reject its ancestors, its past,
which cannot be good for its future also. Europe became sick because
it tore apart from its own heritage, it had to deny its very
roots."
John
P Jones had observed (1908) in his book - India:
Its Life and Thought:
"Be it remembered, Christianity never met with so doughty a
foe as that which confronts it in this land. The
ancient faith of Greece and Rome, which Christianity overcame,
were infantile and imbecile as compared with the subtle wisdom and
mighty resistance of Brahminism. The conditions of the conflict in
India are different from those eve met before by our militant
faith. The subtle and deadening philosophy of the land,
the haughty pride of its religious leaders, the great inertia of
the people, the mighty tyranny of caste, the debasing ritual of
Hinduism and its debauching idolatry - all these constitute a
resisting fortress whose overthrow seems all but impossible."

India:
Its Life and Thought - By John P Jones p. 424).

Hindu
Connection: The term Pagan, which means "of the
countryside," was the term applied by the converted
Christians of the cities to the unconverted country folk. Later,
as Christianity became dominant, it acquired a twisted, negative
connotation. Today it specifically means "one who is not a
Christian, Muslim or Jew." The term has become so abusive,
that many Pagans today will not use it. But because it makes
such a clear division with the monotheistic religions, Gerard
and others of a like mind proudly claim it.
Europe's Pagans have not failed
to observe that Hindus, too, are Pagans. "India is a conservatory of
traditions going back into our most ancient prehistory.

Europe's Pagans have not failed
to observe that Hindus, too, are Pagans. Christopher
Gérard has been to
India many times. He said, "India is a conservatory of
traditions going back into our most ancient prehistory. The
Paganism of our ancestors has miraculously survived there in
spite of Muslim invasions, Christian missions and all the other
agents of ethnocide [the systematic destruction of a culture].
The Brahmins, brothers to our Druids, have never stopped
offering ritual worship as we used to do 40 centuries ago.
Pilgrimage to India is basic for every European Pagan because it
allows him to reconnect with the living tradition, which is
moreover Indo-European.

"Yes, India is the land of
the Gods par excellence," he went on. "The experience
of the divine presence in India is within the reach of anyone
who searches even a little bit. The temples are full of flowers
and offerings, and you only have to flow along with the crowd,
melt into it and place yourself in the hands of the Gods. I do
not advocate conversion to Hinduism, but I do recommend its
inspiration. I told this to the Brahmins that took me into their
homes. One said, 'Establish your reawakened Paganism on a valid
foundation and there'll come a day when it will catch on. It
won't be long.' As true Pagans, they feel no need to convert
anyone. "
***
The new
Europe: Gérard, like many great European thinkers
today (and including Christians), believes that Europe has, in
fact, already entered its "post-Christian" and
"post-rationalist" phase. The church is becoming
decreasingly important. Membership is dropping daily, the
priesthood is declining, historical challenges are being made to
the theology (such as those which resulted from the discovery of
the Dead Sea Scrolls) and multiple scandals have reduced the
influence of the church. The current European mind is no longer
significantly shaped in its thinking and activities by the
Christian theology, whose basic tenets have become largely
irrelevant to modern Euro-life.
"Post-rationalist"
means that many have abandoned "rationalism," the
philosophical position--popular for the last 300 years--that men
should resolve their differences through reason, which provides
the most valid basis for action or spiritual truth. Out of
rationalism developed science, and the now-abandoned hope that
mankind was on the brink of creating Utopia--a socially,
politically and morally perfect society--by its own efforts,
without the help of Gods or religion.
The waning of
both rationalism and Christianity has left a mental, moral and
spiritual vacuum.

to Assault
on an Ancient Faith - By Bruce Nelson, Eleusis Publishing
- In
363 CE Emperor Julian
was killed while leading the Roman army against it's longtime
enemy, Persia. Christian leaders rejoiced at this turn of events
and renewed their assault on the ancient faith with increased
fervor and intensity. Yet this destruction was not without
consequence. Scarcely fifteen years later, the demoralized Roman
army would suffer its greatest defeat ever at the battle of
Adrianople. Thirty years later
Rome itself was sacked and Western civilization was plunged into
a spiritual dark age from which we are only now beginning to
emerge. In it's wake not only did we lose our ancient spiritual
traditions, but Christianity, a religion ostensibly born in love
of the divine, would make martyrs of millions of men, women and
children in Europe and the new world, even forcing it's hatred
against the earth itself.
God Wars: The Battle for Humanity's
Soul
The trend of the
global religious competition for market share and influence is
clearly towards the dominance of the two “Jealous-God”
religions: Christianity and Islam. Both have replaced many
traditional belief systems and continue to use any means
necessary to suppress the animist religions of Africa, much of
Asia and the Pacific Islands, and the surviving remnants of
native beliefs in the New World and Australia. If there is any
threat of a “one world religion” it comes from Christianity,
which shows little sign of slowing its assault on “false
religions” using bribes, social pressure, political control of
governments, local and national persecution, and a propaganda
campaign that is second to none. Although Christianity has had
little success against Islam except by direct conquest, how long
can its supremacy in fundraising and firepower be held at bay by
any other faith?
Today, there is an
unfair bias in the contest of conversions because the two
largest, best-financed and most widespread faiths—the
"Jealous-God" religions of Christianity and
Islam—got that way by conquest and persecution. The monopoly
that Christianity has on the Americas, Australia, and much of
sub-Saharan Africa and Europe is a strength for that
faith—they can keep these areas free of competition with
little effort while pouring their propaganda and
"charity" into targeted regions where other religions
struggle to emerge and recover from the impact of European
colonialism and forced conversions.
This
dominance of our world by a limited set of beliefs is not a good
thing for humanity. The spread of
"world" religions such as Christianity and Islam has
destroyed most of the world's traditional religions. Many
beliefs once sacred have now been regulated to museums and
anthropology texts. The loss of so many "living"
religions is a profound blow to human culture. (The loss of
languages and other cultural traditions due to increased secular
homogenization is a similar issue). Beliefs such as a spiritual
connection to dead ancestors, or a nature that is filled with
spirits, or even much-maligned polytheism, have provided
humanity with a rich and beautiful diversity of worldviews.
Religious diversity expands the mind; when a single
belief system dominates a society, it limits the mind.

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.

What is called Paganism, heathenism, and
polytheism is in fact the Natural religion of humanity.
In areas
where it has survived the onslaught of anti-human ideologies
with their ego gods, it has retained its self-respecting name.
In Japan it is Shinto, in Taiwan
Confucianism
and Taoism, and in
India as Hinduism.
When Christianity became the official religion of
the Roman Empire under Constatantine, the natural humanistic
beliefs were proscribed. With the spread of Christianity after
the fall of Rome, the story was the same across Europe, the
Maghreb and the former Roman Middle East. The high philosophy of
the Greeks, the ancient beliefs of ancient nations like the
Armenians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Celts, Teutones, Norse, Slavs,
and last of all, right up to the thirteenth century, the Lithuanians, fell to the rapacious jaws of iconoclastic and
dogmatic Christianity. Under both the dominant Greek Orthodox
and Roman Catholic churches, manifestations of the natural
religion was condemned as sorcery, Satanism, and witchcraft. The
incineration of heretics at the stake replaced the pluralism
which had been the standard of classicalist Europe under Celtic,
Roman and Greek cultures. Schism and reformation brought no
respite. The Russian Orthodox church became perhaps the most
backward and regressive of all Christian sects. Protestants saw
veneration of icons and celebration of life as remnants of Paganism which had to be stamped out. The Catholic multinational
machine became even more zealous. Yet this could not stem
rationalism which stemmed from the Renaissance, a rediscovery of
the classical past.
Christ now paled in the shadow of a
resurrected Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and Pythagoras.
Voltaire
(1694-1774)
France's greatest writers and philosophers, was a theist, and a
bitter critic of the Church, among others held up Hinduism
as an example of a natural deistic religion with a pedigree much
older than that of Judeo-Christianity. He
saw that
Confucianism made Chinese civilization every much as
valid as Europe but without the inflexible dogmatism that made
science a slave to the accursed one, the Church.

Thomas
Jefferson (1743-1826)
pondered whether the Christian deity was a god or a

"Millions

Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we
have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the
effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools, and the
other half hypocrites. To support error and roguery all over the
earth."

It was these rationalist ideas, which fuelled
the industrial revolution, made western states the most
powerful, brought ideas of democracy and free thought, as well
as toleration of pluralism in personal belief. It had nothing to
do with Christianity, which now sought refuge in opposition or
mutated form, seeking allies with Fascists, National Socialists,
and Marxists, people for whom the very idea of personal belief
was a complete anathema.
In Europe today Christianity presents a different face, of
compassion, equality, multiculturalism, and interfaith
pluralism. But this has not been the case throughout history. It
is not even the case now in India. While the fundamentalist
Christian propaganda machine, losing souls it once considered
its private property in Europe, pumps out the blatant untruth of
Hindus as Nazis, fundamentalists, and satanic followers in
India, it is forgotten just how much damage Christianity did to
the paganism of Europe. How many were burnt at the stake or
killed by some other means? How many were forcibly converted by
zealous crusaders like Charlemagne?
How many temples were
desecrated and turned into churches for the one ego god? How
many Pagan festivals were reincarnated as Christianity such as
Christmas itself? Yet this is happening in India right now.
In the northeast Christian inspired terrorists are wiping out
the indigenous Hindus. Pope John Paul
II has said that the future
harvest lies in India, and that Hinduism should be annihilated
where it contradicts the teaching of the church, which means
that it will be annihilated per'se, just as paganism was in
Europe. The pagans of Europe who have been told they must have
nothing to do with the Hindu Nazis of India should ask
themselves if they should believe an ideology which threw Europe
under its dogmatic boot for almost two millennia, and yet now
cries wolf in the face of resistance in India, the last refuge
of what it calls Paganism.

How quickly the Inquisition of Goa
has been forgotten. If paganism is to be revived and flourish as
it once did, the pagans of Europe needs to ask themselves this,
Should they keep calling themselves by the term pagan, an
insulting subjective term invented by the close-minded church?
Second, should they not have sympathy for the Hindus of India,
who are suffering the same fate that their like minded spiritual
brethren did in Europe centuries of Europe?

Cultural Genocide of Pagans in Tahiti
The Missionaries: God Against
the Indians
Since first arriving in the New
World, resource-hungry invaders have been systematically persecuting
indigenous tribal peoples – all in the name of God. Norman
Lewis
has written a scathing account of how some missionary sects deal
with indigenous peoples in their bid for the conquest of souls. He
cites the creation of fear and the establishment of dependency upon
goods which, without becoming wage-earners, the Indians could not
procure. As native peoples are hurried through the process of
acculturation, Indian customs and ways of life, ceremonies, art,
music, and dance are often lost only to be replaced by illness,
apathy, and forced labor.
As author Norman Lewis 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.
In 1795 the London Missionary School
was formed, its immediate attention focused upon the Pacific; two
years later a convict ship bound for Australia put the first
missionaries ashore on Tahiti.
(Note: The first European to discover Tahiti was Samuel
Wallis in 1767. English
missionaries began to convert the indigenous Polynesians to
Protestantism in 1797, but Louis Antoine claimed Tahiti
for France in 1768. French missionaries later won most of the
Tahitions over to Catholicism. France established Tahiti as a
protectorate in 1843, and annexed it in 1880).
"Persistent unbelievers were
put to death and a penal code was drawn up by the missionaries and
enforced by missionary police in the uniforms of Bow Street Runners.
It was declared illegal to adorn oneself with flowers, to sing
(other than hymns), to tattoo the body, to surf or to dance.
Within a quarter of a century the process
by which the native culture of Tahiti had been extinguished was
exported to every corner of the South Pacific, reducing the
islanders to the level of the working class of Victorian England.
"
By this time the population of Tahiti had been reduced by
syphilis, tuberculosis, small pox and influenza from the 200,000
estimated by Cook to 18,000. After thirty years of missionary rule,
only 6,000 remained.
Otto
Von Kotzebue (1787 - 1846) leader of a Russian
expedition into the Pacific in 1823, long before the decline had
reached its terminal phase wrote:
‘A
religion like this which forbids every innocent pleasure and cramps
or annihilates every mental power is a libel on the divine founder
of Christianity.’

Fibonacci
numbers or Hemecandra numbers?
Hemachandra
Suri (correct Sanskrit
spelling Hemacandra Sürí)
(1089
-1172)
was one of the greatest scholars of his time. He wrote on many
subjects: grammar, philosophy, tradition, and contemporary
history. One of his best known works is the "Tri-shashthi-shalaka-
purusha-charitra", the lives of the 63 illustrious persons
in Jainism.
After having written this, he composed an appendix
to it (hence called "Parishista-parvan"). This
appendix, also called "Sthaviravali-charitra" is
actually itself a text of considerable value.
Hemacandra, following the earlier
Gopala,
presented what is now called the Fibonacci
series around 1150, that is at least 50 years before Fibonacci.
The
Fibonacci series is the set of numbers beginning with 1, 1 where
every number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The series
begins with 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. They were known in
India before Fibonacci as the Hemachandra
numbers. And the ratio of any two successive
Fibonacci numbers approximates a ratio, ~1.618, called the
golden section or golden mean.
Donald
Knuth also wrote about this:
"
Before Fibonacci wrote his work, the sequence Fn had already
been discussed by Indian scholars, who had long been interested
in rhythmic patterns that are formed from one-beat and two-beat
notes. The number of such rhythms having n beats altogether is
Fn+1; therefore both Gopala
(before 1135) and Hemachandra
(c. 1150) mentioned the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...
explicitly."
As
documented by Donald
Knuth (1938 - ) of Stanford University in The
Art of Computer Programming, this sequence was first
described by the Indian mathematicians Gopala
and Hemachandra
in 1150, who were investigating the possible ways of exactly bin
packing items of length 1 and 2.
The system that Fibonacci
introduced into Europe came from India and and used the symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 with, most importantly,
a symbol for zero 0.
Manjul
Bhargava, 28, a professor of number theory at Princeton who discusses how the Fibonacci series
pops up not just in mathematics but also in the arts. The
Fibonacci series is the set of numbers beginning with 1, 1 where
every number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The series
begins with 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. They were
known in India before Fibonacci as the Hemachandra
numbers. And the ratio of any two successive Fibonacci
numbers approximates a ratio, ~1.618, called the golden
section or golden
mean. It's long been known that the Fibonacci series turns
up frequently in nature. The numbers of petals on a daisy
and the dimensions of a section of a spiral nautilus shell are
usually Fibonacci numbers. For plants, this is because the
fractional part of the golden mean, a constant called phi
(0.618), is the rotation fraction (222.5 degrees) which yields the
most efficient and scalable packing of circular objects such
as seeds, petals and leaves. But
Bhargava points out that the series also shows up in the arts.
Sanksrit poetry, tabla compositions and tango, to name a few
examples, use the series to find the number of possible
combinations of single and double-length beats within a stanza.

Injustice
pushes Muslim family to apostasy
On September 16 The Pioneer
daily carried a news item about a Unani Muslim physician, Hasan,
hailiing from Allahabad's Gohnia village who converted
to Hinduism along with his whole 12-member family.
Hasan's medical practice was a failure so he left it and found
work as a chowkidar in the factory of a Muslim industrialist. He
had not been paid his salary for the last three months.
According to the report, one day he demanded his salary and
insisted for it. As a
result he was badly beaten up. Hasan's clinic was forcibly
occupied and attempts were made to occupy his house also. He
asked for help from his Muslim neighbours, but no one came to
his rescue. Disappointed and
heart-broken, he sought the help of his Hindu neighbours who
generously helped him. Seeing the oppressive and unfriendly
attitude of Muslims and the cooperative and friendly attitude of
Hindus, he deserted Islam and embraced Hinduism along with his
whole family.
Hasan
has said in his affidavit submitted to the district magistrate
that his conversion to Hinduism was voluntary. His new name is
Ram Chandra, Hasan's conversion was motivated by the physical
and mental torture by his own fellowmen.
The VHP welcomed his conversion to
Hinduism and took his family in a procession organised by it.
They have built a small temple for him in front of his house.
