Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Dear members: There have been some posts recently comparing sanAtana/vedic religion with Christianity, alongwith defensive arguments to justify how our religion is as good as theirs, etc. IMHO there is no need for such comparisons/defences which arise from the petty efforts of proselytizing missionaries, eager to take cheap shots at an ancient religion that has stood the test of time. There is a saying in colloquial Hindi, that an elephant has no fear of a barking dog! Once Sri Sadagopan had referred to a scholarly publication called "The Veda and the Torah" - which compared the vedic and semitic religions from a very academic standpoint. I feel we must limit our interactions with baahya mathams to such intelligent curiousity only, instead of dignifiying the malicious attempts of proselytizers by paying attention to their unscrupulous, ignorant ramblings. Truly, -Srinath C. -- ________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
