Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Dear Vir Gupta, Whereas I don't want to undermine your on-their-own-level-valid points, you have to approach this problem of Indian 1000 year old weakness from a much deeper and more basic level. Charaka Samhita, the celebrated book on Ayurveda, states that a country will be invaded and destroyed when its inhabitants act adharmic, live not in accord with Dharma, Natural Law. > 2. Our kings follow Dharma Sastra. If they really would have followed the Shastras, they would have been strong enough to avert the danger. Following Shastras makes one stronger, not weaker. History reports many instances where the weaker side triumphed over more numerous enemies. There is a Hindi proverb, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi uses to quote: Great people reach their goals not through their means but through their level of sattwa. See for example how the 5 Pandavas won against 100 Kuru-brothers, and even Pandavas army was considerably smaller. BUT they had on their side one decisive aspect: Lord Krishna, the personification of Dharma, the Natural Law, the Will of God, the fountainhead of all the laws of nature. When the mind becomes in tune with the Home of all the laws of nature – ParamAtma - then all the devas, all the nature starts to support you. So it is imperative for India and all other nations to realize the first teaching of Lord Krishna: Nistray gunyo bhava Arjuna – Be without the three gunas, transcend the relative states and realize what you are: atmavan, pure consciousness, the universal Self. Yoga Sutras state: Tat sannidhau vairatyagah. In the vicinity of That (state of Yoga, Unity consciousness), enmity ceases. The scriptures speak of a national armour – raashtriya kavach – which gets build up when people live righteousness, when they live sattva. Such effect can be measured even with the gross western scientific methods. Over 40 sociological studies published in scientific journals have described the power of Vedas Rashtriya Kavach will proctect the nation – like India was protected in the olden times from Alexander the Great – just like that, without doing much. Later, unfortunately, India lost its collective wisdom - enlightenment was reserved only to the monks, excluding the masses from higher states of consciousness – and the dharma was lost and with it the protection of nature. All those points which you have raised are just the result of that basic failure: lack of sattva, lack of enlightenment, lack of coherence in national consciousness (national consciousness being structured by the consciousness of the individuals of the nation).!!! India, start to meditate! Start to transcend! Start to tap the hidden powers within your children! Aham Atma Gudakesha sarva bhutashaya sthitah! Realize the unboundedness WITHIN – whatever religion you belong. No enemy to fight. Just light of God everywhere. Only Veda can save us. So support Vedas. All other conventional approaches of defence have repeatedly failed in the course of history of mankind. No military power, no negotiations will establish permanent peace. Remember that! Look at the USA: 300 Billion of dollars (1 billion a day) spent on military and look what happened on 11.Sept.! What about India then? Therefore, India must take recourse to its own wisdom of the Tradion of Vedic Masters. With best wishes, JAI GURU DEV Shasa A.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi Shasa A. Ruzicka, Vir Gupta and all others, I agree Vedas are the superior and the oldest books. But Alexander was defeated on Banks of Sindhu by Army. He himself was surprised to see the whole army and the elephant and horse warriors. But Veda helped in formingh the army (i belive). Not simply the vedas wont give protection. Krishna himself asked arjuna to war agains the evils eventhough they are their blood relatives. Megasthanis has written about the power of Army and power of men in the Hindu Rashtra during the Maurya Kingdom. So we want a strong Hindu Army!!! Not our Indian Army! >India, start to meditate! Start to transcend! Start to tap the hidden >powers within your children! Aham Atma Gudakesha sarva bhutashaya >sthitah! Realize the unboundedness WITHIN – whatever religion you >belong. Everything will be possible only when there is a Hindu Rashtra which considera Vedas as a Holy books and want to maintain the nation as a Hindu Nation by law and means according to rules laid out in our scriptures. >No enemy to fight. Just light of God everywhere. Enemies will always be there and we have to fight and win them. Enemies may be inside you or outside, never matter. In Ramyana Rama Himself killed Ravana as he did not follow dharma. He Himself has to fight for dharma. Is there not a meditator in the period of Rama? Everyone, including Ravana stict to meditation, got varams from Shiva. His only wrong doing is he took Sita. In MahaBharatha, Arjuna has been forced to kill all his relatives, to establish Dharma. Again, We want a strong Hindu Army!!! Not our Indian Army! >peace. Remember that! Look at the USA: 300 Billion of dollars (1 >billion a day) spent on military and look what happened on 11.Sept.! What about >India then? For now we have to save Vedas. Support vedas, if it flourishes it could save us. US, a big miltary power, only one Sept 11.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Dear Shasa A. Ruzicka: Your points are well taken. Now let us be practical. You can fight a Dharmic war if both sides obey same dharmic rules. Muslims did not honor Hindu dharmic rules. They plundred the cities, took women and children captives, looted temples and property, and took delight in raping and killing innocent civilians. {For those on the list please read any valid, true history book. You will see for yourself. You can also read the history of temples that were plundered in South India. The great Vedic Scholars/acharyas escaped and prayed to God to give those who were plundering good sense, without taking any revenge} Hindu dharma books specifically speak against such actions. In the chapter on "Great Slaughter" Moses took women and children as captives, kills married women and male children, gives unmarried girls as comfort girls to army people, and looted enormous amount of property. In such adharmic situation, dharmic rules have no meaning. Muslims destroyed universities, burnt millions of books, burned monks and students alive, and repeatedly raped Indian civilization. { Husbands were killed, the widowed girls were used for mass production of Muslim-warriors and slaves. They invited all the Vedic scholars for so-called conferences and Sufi discussions and mass murdered the scholars/monks (you can again refer the documented history} Every time Mohammad Ghouri or Mahmud Ghazanvi was captured we released them and they came back with better understanding of our weaknesses. And we licked their shoes. Somanath temple was ransacked 17 times. So many times Hindu kings invited them and so many time they assisted them, that it seems that we Hindus had become the scums of this Earth. After Alexander the great left India he made Selucid as the emperor of whole dominion from Punjab to Iraq. With clever techniques of Chankya, Chandragupta came to power and defeated Selucid in mere 5 days and claimed Punjab, current Pakistan and 2/3rd of Afghanistan. {this entire place was full of Vedic Practitioners once upon a time} I agree with you that Dharma does play an important part and when people are not Sattvic, the country will fall. But is America Sattvic? Absolutely not as per our Dharma Sastra. So military strategy is very important. When a country is Sattvic, other look towards the country as a guide. When a person is Sattvic, they look towards him as a guide. So if every one follow the Sattvic principals, whole country benefits because it becomes a role model for others. Islam has been exposed as being such a adharmic religion and in near future there will be a reaction against such a faith on global scale. Islam does treat women as slaves. Islam has no respect for other faiths and hence such a religion, though dominating, will start to shrink soon. Many Muslims are leaving Islam. They are extremely critical about their Jehadi activities and the way they treat women and other religions. But we Vedics have a lot of weaknesses. We have closed door to conversion for centuries. It is the most stupid thing. It is not by closing doors but by educating others the religion progresses. Hinduism has a lot of good points, but caste system must go, and equality of men and women must be practiced. We do worship goddesses but we do not treat our women properly. Enlightenment is not the monopoly of men only. It is open to all. We must learn from our Sastras. Mahabharata says that charity is the greatest virtue, but few Hindus practice it. It is only when we practice equality, charity, respect for women, and deep faith in divine we can overcome the enemy within and elsewhere.
