Guest guest Posted October 28, 1999 Report Share Posted October 28, 1999 Namaste Good wishes to all 1/ Recent articles have stated that the US christian missionaries came with bibles & the people ended up with the bibles while the missionaries ended up with the peoples land. 2/ Another article has protested against Hindhus being grossly defamed by southern baptists on a large scale. A famous christian tv personality ,Jimmy Swaggart,. used to say openly that if you didn't have Jesus you were going to hell. He included Bhuddists,Hindhus & everyone else who didn't accept his doctrine of Lord Jesus. Lord Krsna in Bagavad Gita clearly explains that in this world there are demons, devotees. Lord Krsna also explains that He accepts food offerings of vegetarian substances only. Certainly the demons problem is one of ignorance,but God has offered us all some independance to choose our path or attitude towards life. And certainly it is good to preach the non sectarean message of sanatan dharma wherein all life forms are a part of the same Whole & the human form of life is mean't for self or God realization. Everyone naturally has the same God. Although this attack by southern baptists may be responded to by reason,logic & preaching,we should not be naive. Neither should the Indian government allow foreigners to usurp their own people under disguise of better religion. Since Lord Krsna states clearly that meat eating & animal slaughter is demonic,then those following the flesh eating program are recognized clearly as demons,& especially those who also make a point to attack sanatan dharma,& deity worship as "nauseating". There may be many inocent meat eaters since everyone is led into it in North America,but those who attack & blaspheme deities of the Lord are not innocent,they are behaving in a way absolutely uncondusive to any peaceful solution & should be regarded as a real menace to peace. If one dosen't know about deity worship there is no nescesity for them to blaspheme,they may inquire if interested. Simply provoking a fight or an argument without inquiry is mean't to be an aggressive act,& not one of thoughtful contemplation. Which countries government upholds the basic principles of religion ? None that i know of ! Animal slaughter is against Gods laws & this is condonned by all world governments. The great emperor Ashoka,(268-233 B.C.) said," Moreover I have had banyan trees planted on the roads to give shade to man & beast; I have planted mango groves ,& have had ponds dug & shelters errected along the roads at every eight kos,( a days journey), Everywhere I had wells dug for the benefit of man & beast....What i have done has been done so that all men may conform to righteousness. All the good deeds that I have done have been accepted & followed by the people. And so obediance to mother & father,obediance to teachers,respect for the aged,kindness to ascetics & brahmans,to the poor & weak,and to slaves & servants,have increased & will continue to increase....And this progress of Righteousness among men haqs taken place in two manners,by enforcing conformity to Righteousness,& by exhortation. I have enforced the law against killing certain animals and many others,but the greatest progress of Righteousness among men comes from exhortation in favor of non injury to life and abstention from killing living beings." The Emporer Ashoka was a devout follower of Lord Budha & he enforced the principal of ahimsa or non violence in the whole land of India at that time. The following quote is taken from . "Travel Report on India" Translated by James Legge in H.H Gowen. History of Indian Literature New York : 1931.(64) Fa Hien a chineese traveller & writter is quoted. " The people (of India of the fifth century),are numerous & happy; they have not to register their households ,or attend to any magistrates or their rules;only those who cultivate the royal land have to pay a portion of the gain from it. If they want to go ,they go ; if they want to stay they stay. The king governs without decapitation or corporeal punishments .Criminals are simply fined ....even in cases of repeated attempts at wicked rebellion,they only have their right hands cut off.... THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY THE PEOPLE DO NOT KILL ANY LIVING CREATURE ,nor do they eat onions or garlic." These quotes in turn were taken from "The Portable Dragon". by R.G.H.Siu The Western Mans Guide to the I Ching. These southern baptists or whatever they are,who say all but them goes to hell;neither do they beleive in vedic or any astrolgy,nor i ching,nor tarot,nor any free thinking process of self realization. They simply pat themselves on their backs while shoving in the beef. If someone or some class of persons claiming some sort of religion attacks Hindhus or their deity worship,& they are meat eaters which is always the case,then they are understood to be fools & rascals & must be treated as such. We quote what Lord Krsna says & what the Srimad Bagavatam ,(the Veda),says. This gives us the understanding of what others are saying & doing. sincerely Satyahit das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
