Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Namaskar, Here is letter by Swami Vivekananda that was published in the Chicago Daily Tribune of 20 September 1893. " We who come from the East have sat here on the platform day after day and have been told in a patronizing way that we ought to accept Christianity because Christian nations are the most prosperous. We look at history and see that the prosperity of Christian Europe began with Spain. Spain’s prosperity began with the invasion of Mexico. Christianity wins its prosperity by cutting the throats of its fellowmen. At such a price Hindus will not have prosperity. I have sat here today and I have heard the height of intolerance. I have heard the creeds of the Muslims applauded, when today the Muslim sword is carrying the destruction into India. Blood and sword are not for the Hindu, whose religion is based on the laws of love". Are not his words as relevant today as they were when written. cheers Discover your Roots - Visit www.esamskriti.comThe site has 10 sections. 1. Culture and philosophy.2. Wars and foreign affairs.3.
