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!" (source: La Bible
dans I’Inde’ - By Louis Jacolliot). Refer

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.

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."

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."

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
Bush’s 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

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

between church and state.
Christianity's
claims to an exclusive and universal salvation with a naked grab

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.

"It preaches genocide,

“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."

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.

"If you
live your life and don't confess your sins to God almighty through
the authority of Christ and his blood, I'm going to say this very
plainly, you're going straight to hell with a nonstop ticket," Rev.John
Hagee (founder and Pastor of Cornerstone Church) said
during a service interspersed with religious and patriotic videos.

Asked
afterward at a political rally whether he agreed with Mr. Hagee, the
Governor
said he didn't hear anything that he would take exception to. He
said that he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that those
who don't accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell.
(Note:
Following this line of logic,
Jesus's father and grandfather, Gautam Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Zoroaster,
Mahavir and others are in hell?).

 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.

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.”
 Elie
Wiesel,
(1928 - ) winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize, writes of the Holocaust:
“All
the killers were Christians."
"The Nazi system was the consequence of a
movement of ideas and followed a strict logic; it did not arise in a
void but had its roots deep in a tradition that prophesied it,
prepared for it, and brought it to maturity. That tradition was
inseparable from the past of Christian, civilized Europe.”
