"The book examines in depth the antiquity, rituals and religious

practices of India's little known Kondh tribals inhabiting the eastern

ghats of Orissa. Steeped in legends, the origin of the Kondhs, including

geographical, social and economic aspects, is scientifically traced. This

is followed by an account of the pioneering efforts made by the East

India Company, firstly, to put down the practice of Meriah human

sacrifice, believed by the Kondhs to propitiate the dreaded Earth

Goddess; and secondly, to suppress the practice of female infanticide.

These practices are garnered from early sources and described in clinical

detail. The ritual of human sacrifice and its later replacement by

buffalo sacrifice is, in particular, delineated in all its grisly

details. The psyche of the Kondh people is highlighted in justifying

these practices and the invocations addressed to their Gods reflect their

abidingly inherent faith in their actions. The volume also provides an

historical perspective of the spread of Christianity and the

establishment of the Protestant church in these remote tracts. A section

of the book also dwells on the art of "Lost Wax" bronze emblems

and other artefacts. The significance of the use of these emblems in

human sacrifice, their place in the bridal dowry, and the processes of

their manufacture provide fascinating reading.

Kali Scarifice

The goddess Kali (lit ‘black’), described in the Mahabharata as

"born of anger ... the cruel daughter of the ocean of blood, the

drinker of blood", is the terrifying form of Durga, the consort of

Shiva, one of the trinity of ‘all powerful’ Hindu gods. Kali is perhaps

the best known of all the Tantric shakti divinities and is seen as

representing, or controlling, destruction and death in the unending cycle

of life. Often known affectionately as Ma (‘Mother’) Kali by devotees for

her other, protective qualities, her propitiation in the past

occasionally involved human sacrifice; in the modern era it continues to

include, inter alia, animal sacrifice. This practice, which emerged as a

prominent feature of Hindu worship during the late Vedic period (900-500

BC), is seen as continuing the process of creation by repeating the first

great sacrifice in which the world was created. There are specific rites

and rituals associated with it and the value of the sacrifice depends

upon their correct performance by a priest. Kali is usually portrayed

with multiple arms, a protruding tongue, wearing a garland of skulls and

treading on the prostrate figure of Shiva.

Remain anchored to values

16-04-1999 :: Pg: 24 :: Col: c

CHENNAI, APRIL 16. Human beings can be categorised into three types

according to their behaviour. The best is he who anticipates the wishes

of his parents and elders and fulfils them without waiting for them to

express the same. The second is the middling who promptly attends to what

he is ordered to do. Neglecting to carry out the wishes of elders is

considered the worst form of conduct.

This analysis of human conduct occurs in the form of an introspection by

Nachiketes in the Katha Upanishad also known as Kathaka Upanishad which

occurs in the Krishna Yajur Veda. His father Vajasravasa, who was a poor

and pious man, performed a sacrifice and gave away as presents to the

officiating priests a few old and feeble cows observing which he felt

greatly disturbed by the improper observance of the sacrifice. He

proposed that he be offered as an offering. And, when he persisted in his

request his father in a fit of rage said, ``Unto Yama I give thee.''

In his discourse Swami Asushotananda said, Nachiketes reflected on his

father's words. After reasoning to himself he concluded that he had been

a good son, if not, at least the mediocre kind. So, he wondered what his

father wanted to achieve by sending him to Yama's abode as he was

certainly not worthless.

The Upanishads are replete with ideas which aid meditation, very

necessary in life. Meditation is not just sitting alone everyday at an

appointed hour silently. It is reflection about life from time to time -

taking stock of one's situation. Such moments of reflection are

essential; otherwise one will get engrossed in the trivia of day-to-day

life without remaining anchored to values and the spiritual goal.

Nachiketes reminded his father that life in the world was transitory and

hence it was more important to uphold values as neither his ancestors nor

his contemporaries had ever broken their word.

RE: Child

COUPLE HELD FOR CHILD SACRIFICE IN INDIA:

"Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International" (human rights

section) New Delhi, Jan 30: (H. R. N. I) Indian police arrested a couple

after they sacrificed a neighbour's daughter in the hope that it would

give them a child of their own.

Police also arrested a witch of the village who told them it was the only

way for them to have children. The couple had been charged with abducting

the six year-old innocent girl, sacrificing her to the Hindu goddness

Kali and then throwing her body into a pond in a village near India's

southern most tip of Kanyakumari.

In India ritual murder of children is very common, even most such

incidents go unreported.

In the easternIndian hills of Chotanagpur, tribespeople try to abduct

children each year, believing their blood, if sprinkled on fields,

guarantees a good harvest.

This chapter details the fierce persecution of women in Hinduism. Women

are eaten alive by wild dogs, their ears and noses are amputated, some

are chopped up whilst others are burnt alive. Nor are these due to any

`corruption'; they are all sanctioned by the Vedas and have been

practiced since the Aryans invaded India. This cruelly inhuman treatment

of women shows that Hinduism is a truly animal religion.

Inhuman Persecution of Women in Brahmanism

Chapter 3

Genocide of Women in Hinduism

by Sita Agarwal

The scriptures of the 6 orthodox (`astika') schools of Brahmanism,

including the sects of Vasihnavism and Vedism, prescribe the cruelest

punishments imaginable for women guilty of even minor offences. Mere

disobedience to the husband is immediately punished by amputation and

maiming, whilst severe betrayal leads to certain death. Women guilty of

lesbianism have their fingers chopped off, whilst adulterous wives are

eaten alive by dogs.

3.1 AMPUTATION OF WOMENS' EARS AND NOSES Aryan women were severely

punished with amputation of ears and noses for even minor offences, often

by their own husbands. The Brahmanic secular court and religious

literature is full of such instances : Ramayana : `Lord' Rama practiced

the savage cutting off of womens' noses for minor offences, thereby

providing divine sanction for this sadistic custom. In the Ramayana,

Shurpanakha is described as a black Dravidian lady ( referred to as

`Rakshis' or demonesses by the Aryans ) who fell in love with Rama. She

proposed marriage to him, but he refused her, directing her to his

brother Laxman. This pious Hindu God immediately cut off her ears and

nose for the `crime' of daring to propose to him. The `mighty' Ram fully

condoned this cruel act. [ Alld.1036 ] Otherwise, Ram, the `ideal

husband', showed little regard to female life; for instance, he killed

Tataka [ Alld.1048 ], merely because she was a "Rakshi", or

Black Sudra woman. He cut her body into pieces after maiming her in the

cruellest manner available. He mutilated her genitals and then

shamelessly chopped off pieces of her body one by one after thrusting his

sword into her vagina.

Ocean of Story : This work is also full of examples where husbands

mutilated their own wives in accordance with bigoted Vaishnava laws.

Thus, Devadasa, a merchant of Pataliputra, cuts off the nose of his

adulterous wife, and marries another [ Oc. Bk.III,Ch.XIX ][ Oc.Taw

I.p.146-7 ]. These instances from court literature show that the harsh

Vedic laws of Manu

and Kautilya were actually enforced in all their severity.

Another example from the Ocean of Story is when the king of Ujjain

decides to cut off the ears of the unfaithful wife of a Brahmin,

Kalaratri [ Oc. Bk.IV,Ch.XX ][ Oc.Taw I.p.161 ] This story shows that

kings could arbitrarily cut off the noses of the ears of the wives of

their subjects whenever they so desired. The testimony of the husband

hardly mattered; the king could mutilate any woman he wanted !

Pancatantra : In the Pancatantra, Book I, 7th story, `The Weaver's

Wife', [ Ryder, p.54 ], the weaver cuts off his wife's nose because she

merely did not respond to his calls ! Later on, the weaver was acquitted

by the pious Hindu king of any crime whatsoever ! These passages from

court literature prove that the barbaric Brahmanic Hindu laws of Manu and

Kautilya were in full force in ancient India. Those who believe that the

laws of Manu and Kautilya were not followed in practice are deluding

themselves. The Brahmanic court literature clearly reveals the inhuman

persecution meted out to women in the religion of Hinduism as well as the

incredible suffering that Hindu women had to endure.

3.2 HINDU WIVES PUBLICLY DEVOURED BY DOGS

The death penalty was almost invariably prescribed for Aryan women guilty

of infidelity. Aryan races all over the world practiced this; thus the

Germanic warrior would instantly slay his wife and her lover. The

barbaric Indo-Aryan males were no different. Later, when Brahmins

attained absolute dominion over their Aryan and non-Aryan subjects, they

invented ever harsher methods of destroying women. Hence, the cruelty

involved in the manner with which Aryan women were butchered increased

with a corresponding hardening of Brahmin power. The Manu Smrti, the

most authoritative law-book of `astik' Hinduism (ie. Brahmanism), states

that adulterous women are to be torn apart by dogs : Manu

Smrti.VIII.371 : " If a wife, proud of the greatness of her

relatives or (her own) excellence, violates the duty which she owes to

her lord, the king shall cause her to be devoured by dogs in a place

frequented by many."

Manu Smrti.VIII.372 : " Let him cause the male offender to be burnt

on a red-hot iron bed; they shall put logs under it, (until) the sinner

is burned (to death) ."

Many savage peoples put the adulterous wife to death, but none did it by

allowing wild dogs to devour the woman in public. Also, in none of these

cultures did the bigoted law-makers go so far as the Brahmins, who

defined adultery as to include mere touching, talking or meeting a man !

Even if a women had touched another man with her hand, she is to be

devoured by savage dogs in public ! These laws are stated in the

`humane' and `wonderful' religion of Hinduism : Manu Smrti.VIII.356 :

" He who addresses the wife of another man at a Tirtha, outside the

village, in a forest, or at the confluence of rivers, suffer (the

punishment for) adulterous acts (samgrahana). ."

Manu Smrti.VIII.357 : " Offering presents (to a woman), romping

(with her), touching her ornaments and dress, sitting with her on a bed,

all (these acts) are considered adulterous acts (samgrahana).."

Manu Smrti.VIII.358 : " If one touches a woman in a place (which

ought) not (to be touched) or allows (oneself to be touched in such a

spot), all (such acts done) with mutual consent are declared (to be)

adulterous (samgrahana).."

Thus, Hinduism prescribes that the wife who touches, meets, or even

talks to a man who is not her husband is to be fed to animals ! No other

nation, even in its darkest period, prescribed such savage punishments

for women. In this respect the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 1000 AD)

were the darkest in the entire history of mankind. Hinduism remains

unsurpassed in its severe persecution of women.

By comparison, Islam, which has been targetted by bigoted Brahmins

who daily spew venom upon this civilization, is much more lenient than

savage Hinduism. Thus, death is not prescribed even for erring Muslim

wives: " The adulterer and adulteress shall each be given a hundred

lashes." -- [ Quran, Sura Light:2 ] [ Dawood, p.209 ]

Compare this to the immediate killing of women in Hinduism for even

talking to men who are not their husbands. It is these same Brahmin

mass murderers who are criticising Islam !

3.3 ARYAN WIVES CHOPPED TO PIECES

In other instances, wives were simply cut to pieces. The Brahmin Kautilya

has the dubious distinction of being the originator of totalitarianism as

depicted in his `Arthasastra'. He was also guilty of inventing newer

methods of persecuting and torturing women. Thus, in the Kautilyan period

" if a woman was found guilty of a carnal crime her generative

organs were cut off and she was ultimately sentenced to death " [

Artha.IV.13 cited in Jain p.164 ]. This `carnal crime' of Kautiyla was

sufficiently vaguely worded so that pre-marital intercourse,

extra-marital intercourse, and even post-marital intercourse were all

punished by amputation of the woman's genitals. Even widows were killed

if they engaged in `immoral' activies, and so many widows were killed

that their slaughter became institutionalised in the custom of sati.

That these Draconian laws of the Brahmin Kautilya were not confined to

dusty law-books but were severely enforced on women is evident from the

abundance of references in Brahmanic court literature describing actual

cases of severe mutilation of women -

Ocean of Story - This work contains several examples of women being slain

by their husbands at their whim. Thus, the king Yogananda ordered his

queen to be put to death merely for talking to a Brahmin [ Oc. Bk.I,Ch.V

] [ Oc.Taw I.p.24 ]. This shows that the laws of Manu prescribing death

for a women who even taliked to a man who was not her husband were fully

enforced.

In another Ocean of Story tale, the hero Satrughna slew his wife's lover

and threw the corpse into a well [ Oc. Bk.VI.Ch.XXIV ] [ Oc.Taw I.p.312

].

Naishadacarita - In this work the body of a "lewd woman" was

cut to pieces by the king's orders and her flesh was thrown to be

devoured by birds [ Naishadacarita XXI.66 ] [ 1200, p.68 ]. This

proves that the Manuite law prescribing that women were to be eaten alive

by wild dogs was modified by pious Hindu men to include other animals as

well.

We see these horrible Vedic punishments being inflicted upon helpless

women all across modern South Asia. Women who have just looked at men who

are not their husbands are sawed in pieces, others are boiled alive in

`kitchen fires' and others are chopped to pieces. Brutal torture often

preceeds these acts. Often, the Hindus then eat the pieces of the dead

wife according to the beastly ritual of Vedic cannibalism, an act fully

justified in the Vedas as `purushamedha' and `naramedha'.

3.4 TRAVELLERS' ACCOUNTS OF MURDER OF WOMEN

Further confirmation of the harsh suppression of women in Brahmanism is

evinced by the testimonies of several travellers who visited India and

were eye-witness to the highly debilitating impact of Vedic and Vaishnava

doctrines on Indian women. Merchant Sulaiman, an Arab traveller of the

9th century states that

"If any man in the indies runs away with a wife and abuses her body

they kill both him and the woman , unless it be proved that she was

forced, then the man only is punished with death; but if the woman

consented to the evil deed, they are punished with death, both one and

the other."' -- [ Arab p.56 ] [ 1200, p.68 ] [ E.Renaudot, `Ancient

Accounts of India and China by Mohammedan Travellers', p.34 ]

This testimony clearly shows that adulteresses were killed. According to

Alberuni, `An adulteress is driven out of the house and banished' [ 1200,

p.68 ] [ al-B. II.162 ]. The reason why al-Beruni does not explicitly

mention the savage persecution of women in Hinduism is because of the

pro-Hindu bias he was famous for.

Infidelity to husband was considered a grave sin and it was believed that

"such women went to Aksaya hell" [ Br.P. 87.61 cited in Sheth,

p.98 ]. The husband had the power to curse the wife who was disloyal to

him. Thus the sage Gautama cursed his wife Ahalya for sleeping with Indra

though through no fault of her own. [ Sheth, p.99 ] This shows that

Hindu women were brainwashed into abject mind-slavery to Hindu, and

especially Brahmin, men.

3.4 AMPUTATION OF LESBIANS

It may be supposed that Hindu women could escape these ghastly

punishments by avoiding men and seeking solace in Sapphic relationships.

Alas ! The bigoted Brahmins had foreseen this possibility and severely

persecuted these women also. Thus, Lesbians are cruelly punished by

the Brahminist Vaishnavas by having their fingers chopped off. -

Manu Smrti.VIII.369-370 : " A damsel who pollutes (another)

damsel must be fined two hundred (panas), pay the double of her (nuptial)

fee, and receive ten (lashes with a) rod. But a woman who pollutes

a damsel shall instantly have (her head) shaved or two fingers cut

off , and be made to ride (through the town) on a donkey."

Certain Brahmin scholars have used verses from the Kamasutra to try to

prove that sapphic relationships were tolerated in India. Citing from the

Kamasutra for ancient India is like citing from `My Secret Life' for

Victorian England. They are both merely erotic texts that do not display

what life was like for the majority of the population. The Hindu law-book

of Manu carries much more weight than the Kamasutra.

3.5 CANNIBALISM PRACTICED ON HINDU WOMEN

No other civilization degrades women to the extent that the truly animal

Hinduism does. Hinduism is indeed, merely a system of genocide and mass

extermination of women. The most revolting aspect of the oppression of

women in Hinduism is that, after they are killed in the most gruesome

manners as per Vedic laws, these women are then eaten as delicacies ! The

body of the woman is often consumed raw, othertimes it is cooked after

the woman has been boiled alive. Sometimes, when the women have been

sawed into many pieces, the different chops are then cooked as separate

pieces and served to friends and guests. This serves to dispose of the

body, thereby avoiding modern British-originated laws forbidding such

practices.

This barbaric act, which is fully sanctioned by the Vedas, is referred to

as `purushamedha' or `naramedha', the Vedic term for Hindu human

sacrifice. Even Hindutva historians now admit that Hinduism sanctions the

consumption of female flesh. Thus the fanatic Brahminist Sudheer Birodkar

writes,

" Although tribal warfare [ during the Vedic Age ] did take place

continuously, the reasons were either to capture women or to capture men

who would be eaten . The fact that cannibalistic practices did exist

among Aryan tribes is proved by the ritual of the Purusha-Medha Yagna, in

which such captured members of other tribes were originally butchered and

eaten. The idea of cannibalism in society would appear gruesome and

unbelievable, but we have an anecdote which clearly indicates to the fact

that cannibalism should have existed among Aryans at some stage." --

[ Xat ]

This cannibalist consumption of the flesh of murdered women is fully

sanctioned by the Vedas. The following verse from the Vedas [ Yajur Veda

XXX ] is often cited by the Brahmins in defence of this lowly custom :

Yajur Veda XXX : " 4. We call upon the Lord, distributor of

wonderful bounty, the One who looks upon men. [ I bind to the stake in

form of a token: ] [The Establishment] ... 20. for Pastime a prostitute

for Lust a woman with a spotty skin for Pleasure a musician

22. Now he binds to the stake the following eight types of men: one too

tall one too short one too stout one too thin one too pale one too dark

one too bald one too hairy -- all to be offered to Prajapati.

-- [ Yaj.Ved.XXX ][ Yajur Veda cited in Man ]

Hence, the revolting custom of consuming the flesh of the slain women, is

clearly the result of Vedic `philosophy'. We see this custom in full

action today in modern South Asia. Women who have been killed for merely

talking to men who are not their husbands are tortured, maimed and then

butchered. Others are burnt alive in `kitchen fires'. The flesh is then

steam-cooked and eaten by the family members in order to dispose of the

body. This female purushamedha exposes the truly animal nature of

Hinduism. Besides human flesh, Hindus also eat all kinds of nice food;

the Musahar caste in Bihar consumes raw rat flesh. Ayurvedic medicine

contains animal and human excreta as ingredients. Female flesh is hence a

delightful delicacy for the brute Hindu !

Anybody reading this booklet should have long realised that the Hindus

are the lowest of the lowly male chauvinist pigs. They know nothing

better than killing, humiliating and torturing women and eating their

flesh. Hindu husbands who eat the flesh of their own wives may be pious

followers of the Vedas, but they are, in any civilized society, brute

beasts. They do this because they have been degraded by the Brahmin

tyrants to the status of sub-humans. It is because of Brahmin oppression

that the poor Hindus are forced to eat the flesh of rats, pigs and even

their own women.

PLEASE EXCUSE THE ALL UPPER-CASE LETTERS, AS I AM DISABLED AND HAVE

DIFFICULTY SEEING THE SMALL LETTERS ON MY MONITOR.

 

HARE KRISHNA !

SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA KI JAYA !

 

DEAR BARRY,

 

PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUMBLE OBEISANCES. BELOW ARE SOME RESPONSES

REGARDING HUMAN SACRIFICE, THE ALLEDGED 'ARYAN' RACISM AND CRUELITY

TOWARDS WOMEN IN THE RAMAYAN

 

REGARDING 'VEDIC' HUMAN SACRIFICE

 

FIRST YOU MUST REALIZE SEVERAL THINGS.

 

IN THE GITA SRI KRISHNA DESCRIBES HUMAN SOCIETY AND RELIGION IN THE

THREE MODES OF GOODNESS, PASSION AND IGNORANCE. VISNU IS TO BE

WORSHPED BY THOSE IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS. THE VEDAS HAVE BEEN

USED BY THOSE IN ALL THREE MODES SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, AND THESE

LITERATURES ALSO DESCRIBE HUMAN ACTIVITIES IN ALL THREE MODES. IN

THIS (BELOW) INTERPRETATION OF THE PURUSHA SUKTA RIG VEDIC HYMN-

RELATED PRACTICE OF PURUSHA MEDHA as 'HUMAN SACRIFICE', THE TAMASIC

PERSONS AND SOCIETIES ARE INTERPRETING THE PURUSHA TRADITION AS

SANCTIONING THESE SACRIFICES.

 

IN THE TAMASIC TRADITIONS, THEY INTERPRET 'PURUSHA' IN THE RIG VEDIC

PURUSHA SUKTA HYMN TO MEAN 'MAN', BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORSHIP THE

COSMIC VIRATA-RUPA OF VISHNU PURUSHA AS GOD. BELOW ARE THE THREE

WAYS THAT THE PURUSHA SACRIFICE AND FLESH-EATING WERE PRACTICED IN

THE ANCIENT WORLD. THESE THREE RELIGIO-CULTURAL SOCIAL MODES WERE

NOT LIMITED TO THE REGION OF INDIA, OR WHAT WE NORMALLY THINK OF

AS 'VEDIC' OR 'ARYAN' CIVILIZATION. THESE MODES OF HUMAN EXISTANCE

WERE FOUND EVERYWHERE HUMANS WERE FOUND. TODAY THESE THREE WORLD-

VIEWS / INTERPRETATIONS ARE STILL FOUND.

 

IN THE FIRST, SATTVIC TRADITION, THE LORD'S EUCHARISATIC / PRASADAM

BODY IS NOT TRANSUBSTANTIATED FROM ANIMAL OR HUMAN FLESH. THE

SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS ARE OF VEGETABLE (OR DAIRY) 'BHOGA' ALONE.

 

IN THE SECOND, RAJARSHIC TRADITION, CONSECRATED FOOD IS OBTAINED FROM

ANIMAL SACRIFICES.

 

IN THE THIRD, TAMASIC TRADITION, A HUMAN MAY BE ACTUALLY SACRIFICED

AND EATEN.

 

*****

 

THREE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE VEDIC PURUSHA SACRIFICE AND THE

PRACTICES RESULTANT FROM THESE INTERPRETATIONS

 

1) THE PURUSHA SACRIFICE IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS (SATTVA

GUNA).....THE SACRAMENTAL WORSHIP OF THE COSMIC CREATOR-REDEEMER GOD

(THE PROPER INTERPRETATION AND PRACTICES)

 

PURUSHA IS THE VIRATA RUPA OR VISHVA RUPA, UNIVERSAL FORM OF BALADEVA

(SEMITIC BAAL-THEOS / TOV) THE SECOND PERSON OF THE GODHEAD. AS THE

COSMIC PURUSHA, HE IS BOTH THE CREATOR AND REDEEMER OF ALL MATERIAL

WORLDS. HE IS ALSO THE LIFE SUSTAINING MAINTAINER, AS THE SELF-

SACRIFICED 'FOOD OF ALL BEINGS'. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COSMIC

MANIFESTATION, HE OFFERS HIMSELF FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS CREATION AND

REDEMPTION OF THE COSMIC MANIFESTATION. HIS SELF-SACRIFICED BODY

BECOMES THE FOOD OF ALL BEINGS WITHIN THE UNIVERSE. THROUGH THE

COMMEMORATIVE RITES OF THE FAITHFUL, HIS CONSECRATED BODY BECOMES THE

SACRAMENTAL FOOD OF THE HOLY OR REDEEMED. THIS IS THE ORIGIN OF

VAISHNAVA, SHAIVITE AND SHAKTA, AND PURELAND BUDDHIST 'PRASADAM', THE

THEOPHAGOS MYSTERY LOVE-FEASTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN PROTO CATHOLIC

ASCETICS, AND THE JUDEO-CATHOLIC EUCHARIST.

 

JESUS CHRIST, THE COSMIC DEITY, 'A PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF

MELCHIZEDEK' AS THE 'LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD'

AND THE COSMIC 'ONCE AND ALL-SUFFICIENT SACRIFICE' WAS PURUSHA YUPA

DHVAJA, WHOSE VOLUNTARY DEATH ON THE (COSMIC AXIS MUNDI) YUPA CROSS

OR STAKE REDEEMED THE WORLD. AS KRISHNA'S PRASADAM IS BALARAMA,

BALARAMA-VISHNU AS THE COSMIC PURUSHA BECOMES THE EUCHARISTIC FOOD

(PRASADAM )OF ALL THE FAITHFUL. IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS

(MELCHIZEDEK'S OFFERINGS TO EL-ELYN WERE UN-BLOODY) PURUSHA'S

AUTHORIZED VEDIC PRIESTS OFFERED 'BREAD AND WINE' (OR SOMA) AS

THE 'BODY AND BLOOD' OF THE COSMIC PURUSHA. IN SATTVIC VISHNU

TEMPLES AND HOMES, THE PURUSHA MEDHA RELATED OFFERINGS WERE AND ARE

ALWAYS 'BREAD AND WINE' (JUICE) AND UNBLOODY. THUS JESUS,

APPEARING IN THE LINE OF MELCHIZEDEK (WHO OFFERED BREAD AND WINE) AND

IN THE LINE OF THE NAZARITES (INCLUDING JOHN THE BAPTIST), INSTITUTED

HIS COMMEMORATIVE SACRIFICE AS A STRICTLY UN-BLOODY ONE. IN DOING SO

HE DEFINITIVELY SOUGHT TO END THE MODE OF PASSION ANIMAL SACRIFICES

AND MODE OF IGNORANCE HUMAN SACRIFICES IN THE NAME OF PURUSHA.

 

IN OTHER WORDS, IN JESUS, PURUSHA HIMSELF STEPPED INTO TIME AS HIS

OWN 'HIGH PRIEST', REVEALING HIS ONCE-AND-ALL-SUFFICIENT COSMIC SELF-

SACRIFICE, AND INSTITUTED THE PROPER NON-BLOODY EUCHARISTIC FORM OF

HIS COMMEMORATIVE SACRIFICE FOR THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD.

 

AS A RESULT, AS HIS EUCHARISTIC (PURUSHA YUPA DHVAJA MAHA PRASADAM)

DEVOTIONS SPREAD, THESE REPLACED OTHER REGIONAL FORMS OF ANIMAL AND

HUMAN SACRIFICE (AND CANNIBALISM) IN THE NAME OF PURUSHA. THUS

TODAY THERE IS NOT A CATHOLIC CHURCH ON EARTH WHERE BLOODY SACRIFICES

ARE ALLOWED AS THE SACRAMENTAL OFFERING. THE CATHOLIC MASS RITE /

MOKSHA RITYA IS STRICTLY A VEGETATION OFFERING ASSOCIATED WITH THE

COSMIC SELF-SACRIFICE OF GOD FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE UNIVERSE.

THUS WHILE WHILE RAJARSHIC AND TAMASIC HINDUS, MUSLIMS AND JEWS STILL

PERFORM RITUAL BLOOD SACRIFICES, THE SATTVIC PRIESTHOODS OF JESUS

CHRIST, KRISHNA, RAMA, SHIVA, DEVI, AND BUDDHA ETC. DO NOT. THEIR

SACRIFICES ARE PURLY UN-BLOODY.

 

IN SATTVIC PIETISTIC SHAIVISM, SHAKTI-ISM, AND OTHER TRADITIONS IT IS

THE SAME. THE SATTVIC RITES OF PURUSHA ARE, AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN

BLOOD-LESS. NO BEAST OR HUMAN IS OFFERED IN THESE RITES. ONLY THE

GOD-MAN PURUSHA IS OFFERED IN HIS SATTVIC EUCHARISTIC FORM, BECOMING

THE SANCTIFIED FOOD OF THE FAITHFUL.

 

IF YOU GO TO ANY OF THESE ABOVE SATTVIC PLACES OF WORSHIP, YOU WILL

FIND THAT THE 'EUCHARISTIC OFFERING' IS MADE USING EITHER DIRECTLY

THE PURUSHA SUKTA HYMN, OR CLEAR PASSAGES FROM IT OR REFERENCES TO

IT. IN ALL CASES IT IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE REDEMPTION OF THE

WORLD FROM SIN, AND THE FOOD THUS CONSECRATED IS CONSIDERED THE REAL

PRESENCE OF THE DEITY AS PURUSHA ! MANY MANY VOLUMES SOULD BE

WRITTEN ON THIS. IT IS THE COMMON SACRAMENT THAT BINDS ALL OF THE

ANCIENT SATTVIC TRADITIONS OF THE LORD TOGETHER.

 

AS JESUS, PURUSHA AS YUPA DHVAJA HAS STEPPED INTO TIME TO REVEAL HIS

WILL ON THIS SUBJECT, AND HE HAS CONFIRMED THAT HIS COMMEMORATIVE

EUCHARISTIC SACRIFICE IS STRICTLY IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS. PURUSHA

IS CALLED YUPA DHVAJA, BECAUSE IN HIS RIG VEDIC SACRIFICE, HE WAS

SLAIN WHILE FIXED TO A YUPA 'CROSS' OR STAKE. THUS HIS ORIGINAL AND

ETERNAL EMBLEM OR 'DHVAJA' IS HIS YUPA CROSS OR STAKE ! THIS IS

WHY VARIOUS 'CROSSES' WERE SO PROMINENT AS SYMBOLS OF THE

COSMIC 'SOLAR' (HARI) MONOTHEISM IN VARIOUS ANCIENT CULTURES.

THE 'CROSS' OR STAKE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 'AXIS MUNDI' OF THE

UNIVERSE / CREATION AND THE CREATOR-DEITY'S COSMIC SELF-SACRIFICE IN

THE ANCIENT WORLD. FOR INSTANCE, THE ANKH CROSS REPRESENTED HERI-

ASAR ( VEDIC ASHURA = PURUSHA) POLIEUS IN EGYPT FOR THOUSANDS OF

YEARS, AND REMAINED HIS SYMBOL IN COPTIC EGYPTIAN CATHOLICISM.

 

THE PURUSHA TRADITION IS WHY THE CROSS IS THE DHVAJA (EMBLEM) OR

SYMBOL OF THE COSMIC REDEMPTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST'S SACRIFICE. IT

IS THE YUPA, OR INSTRUMENT OF HIS SELF-SACRIFICE FOR THE SALVATION OF

THE UNIVERSE.

 

THE RELATED UN-BLOODY THEOPHAGOS (GOD-EATING) MYSTERY FEASTS OF THE

ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WERE THE EUCHARISTIC MEALS OF THE HELIOPOLITAN

MONOTHEISTS WHO WORSHIPED HELIOS-DIONYSOS AS POLIEUS / PURUSHA

(ASAR / OSIRIS / ASHURA / AHURA ETC.)THE 'ASCETIC' HELIOS WORSHIPERS

LIKE THE PYTHAGOREANS, ORPHICS, PLATONISTS AND ASCLEPIDAE, ABSTAINED

FROM THE EATING OF FLESH. THE RAJARSHIC PEOPLES ATE THE OFFERED

FLESH OF BEASTS SACRIFICED IN THE NAME OF PURUSHA. THE TAMASIC

PEOPLES ATE HUMANS.

 

 

2) THE PURUSHA SACRIFICE IN THE MODE OF PASSION...CULTS OF CREATURES

AND KINGS

 

THE RAJARSHIC 'MODE OF PASSION' PEOPLES INTERPRETED PURUSHA NOT AS

THE SELF-SACRIFICED FORM OF THE TRANSCENDENT DEITY, BUT AS A

PROJECTION OF THE GREATEST AMONG MEN...THE KING. OR IT COULD ALSO

BE SAID THAT SOME CONSIDERED THE COSMIC FORCE OF THE IMPERSONAL MALE

PRINCIPLE PURUSHA TO BE EMBODIED IN THE KING. THIS LED TO

SUBSTITUTIONAL SACRIFICES FOR THE KING, IN THE FORM OF TOTEM

ANIMALS. THE KING'S OR ROYAL LINE'S TOTEM ANIMAL WAS THUS SACRIFICED

AND EATEN IN A 'EUCHARISTIC' RITUAL. SUCH ANIMAL SACRIFICES WERE

COMMON THROUGHOUT THE ANCIENT WORLD.

 

IN THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD TRADITION OF THE ISRAELITES, IN EGYPT,

THROUGHOUT THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND VERY PROMINENTLY IN INDIA AND THE

EAST, 'VEDIC' ANIMAL SACRIFICES WERE PERFORMED AS SUBSTITUITIONS FOR

THE SACRED PURUSHA-KING, WHO CARRIED THE SINS OF HIS NATION. MANY

VOLUMES HAVE ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT SUCH KING-RELATED ANIMAL

SACRIFICES, AND TOTEM ANIMAL-EATING AROUND THE WORLD. MANY MORE

SHOULD BE WRITTEN TYING THESE PRACTICES TO THE GLOBAL VEDIC AGE OF

RAJARSHIC PURUSHA SUKTA WORSHIP.

 

3) THE PURUSHA SACRIFICE IN THE MODE OF IGNORANCE....TAMASIC HUMAN

SACRIFICE

 

ALONGSIDE THE SATTVIC AND RAJARSHIC SACRIFICIAL WORSHIP OF PURUSHA

WAS TAMASIC OR MODE-OF-IGNORANCE WORSHIP.

THOSE IN THE MODE OF IGNORANCE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE REVELATION OF

THE TRANSCENDENT SPIRITUAL REALM AND ITS DEITY.

THEY COULD NOT EVEN GRASP THE CONCEPT OF COSMOS. THEY HAD NO

CONCEPT OF THE SELF-SACRIFICE OF A COSMIC PURUSHA. TO THEM, PURUSHA

JUST MEANT MAN, OR MALE PERSON. THEY COULDN'T GRASP THE CONCEPT OF

SYMBOLIC ANIMAL SUBSTITUTION, AS PRACTICED BY THE RAJAS OR

SACRED 'PURUSHA' POLIEUS KINGS. THUS, THEIR PERVERSE HIGHEST ACT OF

WORSHIP WAS THE ACTUAL SACRIFICE AND CONSUMPTION OF HUMANS. THE

ACCOUNTS IN THE BELOW ARE TRUE, AND IN FACT DURING MY TALKS WITH

SATTVIC TRADITION LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT PERSONS IN INDIA AND NEPAL,

IT WAS CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THESE ABOMINABLE 'LEFT-HAND-TANTRIC'

RITES OF HUMAN SACRIFICE AND EATING ARE STILL GOING ON AMONG THE

CORRUPT TAMASIC HERETICAL KALI AND BHUTA (GHOST) WORSHIPPERS OF THE

EAST. THERE ARE REFERENCES TO THE PRACTICE OF HUMAN SACRIFICE IN

THE VEDAS THEMSELVES. (ONE STORY INVOLVES MANUMISSION ! ).

 

IN THE SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM, WHEN SOME CORRUPT KALI DASIS ARE ABOUT TO

SACRIFICE A SAINT TO HER ICON, SHE IS SO INFURIATED, THAT SHE

MANIFESTS ON-THE-SPOT AND SLAYS THEM ALL. THESE CORRUPT KALI

WORSHIPERS IN THE EAST WERE HISTORICALLY RELATED TO THE CORRUPTED

BAAL-ASHERAH HERETICS AMONG THE SEMITES, THE SETU WORSHIPPERS IN

EGYPT AND THE CORRUPT MAENAD FALSE DIONYSOS WORSHIPERS IN EUROPE.

THE PSEUDO-DIONYSIAN MAENADS WERE A PROMINENT MOVEMENT DEVOTED TO

THIS TAMASIC PRACTICE OF HUMAN SACRIFICE AND FLESH EATING.

 

TYPICALLY THESE CANNIBALISTIC PRACTICES WERE FORBIDDEN IN CIVILIZED

SOCIETIES. THEY WERE PRACTICED MAINLY BY ISOLATED TRADITIONALLY

TAMASIC TRIBES , ANTI-SOCIAL OUTCASTS, THE CRIMINAL UNDERGROUND,

THOSE WHO PRACTICED 'BLACK MAGIC' FOR MUNDANE POWER, OR UNEDUCATED,

REMOTE AND UNCIVILIZED PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

IT IS THESE PRACTICES WHICH VAISHNAVA, BUDDHIST AND CATHOLIC

CIVILIZATIONS PARTICULARLY TRIED TO END. THUS A FAIR STUDY OF THE

ACCUZATIONS THAT THESE TRADITIONS SUPPRESSED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND

AGGRESSIVELY TRIED TO CONVERT THE 'PAGANS / HEATHENS' TO THEIR

BELIEFS AND PRACTICES WOULD SHOW THAT IT WAS PRIMARITY THESE TAMASIC,

AND TO A LESSOR EXTENT THE RAJARSHIC CORRUPT PURUSHA-MEDHA BELIEFS

AND PRACTICES THAT THE SATTVIC TRADTIONS WERE TRYING TO END.

 

WHEN TAMASIC 'L H TANTRIC' CORRUPTIONS TOOK HOLD IN HIERARCHICAL OR

OTHERWISE ORGANIZED CIVILIZED SOCIETIES, THIS LED TO RITUAL

REGICIDE OR DEICIDE WITH THE SPRINKLING OF THE PURUSHA-MAN'S BLOOD ON

THE FIELDS ETC. AND THE EATING OF THE FORMER, OR CONQUERED KING OR

TRIBAL LEADER BY HIS SUCCESSOR OR RIVAL. IN CANNIBALISTIC SOCIETIES

BOTH BELOVED OR ADMIRED AND HATED PERSONS MAY BE EATEN FOR VARIOUS

REASONS, BUT THESE REASONS USUALLY HAVE SOME ELEMENT OF CORRUPTED

PERVERSE 'PURUSHA' WORSHIP IN THEM. THUS IN THE BELOW, THE AUTHOR

IS CORRECT TO TIE THESE ATROCITIES TO PURUSHA WORSHIP.

HOWEVER THE AUTHOR APPEARS TO BE WHOLELY IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT

THESE PRACTICES ARE THE VERY ONES THAT THE SATTVIC 'ARYAN'

WORSHIPERS OF THE DEITY PURUSHA TRIED TO STOP. EVEN THE MOST LIBERAL

AND BENEVOLENT OF VAISHNAVA AND BUDDHIST KINGS, INCLUDING THE AHIMSA

EMPEROR ASHOKA IN HIS MATURITY, TRIED TO SUPPRESS THE CORRUPT

TAMASIC RELIGIONS.

 

MORE BELOW

 

BELOW IS THE LETTER I AM RESPONDING TO, WITH

WITH MY FURTHER COMMENTS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

The Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 1000 AD) were the darkest

in the entire history of mankind. Hinduism remains unsurpassed in its

severe persecution of women.

 

 

Learned Vaishnavas, i found this item at BhopalNet. Surely my

beloved faith is not guilty of all of this?

 

 

IS YOUR FAITH CORRUPTED LEFT-HAND-TANTRIC HERETICAL KALI WORSHIP ?

DO YOU WANT TO APPEASE MALEVOLENT BHUTAS / GHOSTS WITH THE BLOOD

OFFERINGS OF BEASTS AND HUMAN SACRIFICE ? ARE YOU A TAMASIC 'HINDU'

OR A SATTVIC HINDU OR VAISHNAVA? IF YOUR FAITH IS TAMASIC SO-

CALLED 'HINDUISM' THEN IT INCLUDES THE BELOW. IF IT IS PURE SATTVIC

(SATTVIC ONLY !) HINDUISM OR VAISHNAVISM, THEN YOUR FAITH HAS NOTHING

TO DO WITH ANY OF THESE EVILS IN THE NAME OF GOD AND RELIGION.

KRISHNA-VISHNU DECLARES THAT HE IS PROPERLY WORSHIPED BY THOSE IN THE

MODE OF GOODNESS. NO ONE IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS CAN COMMITT SUCH

ABOMINABLE ACTS AGAINST ANY CREATURE, WHAT TO SPEAK OF HUMAN BEINGS.

IF YOU WORSHIP GOD IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS, AND CLAIM SUCH WORSHIP AS

YOUR FAITH HERITAGE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHILE CIVILIZED 'HINDUS' MAY WANT TO DENY THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT GOES

ON IN THE DARKER SIDE OF 'HINDUISM', THE PROPER WAY TO APPROACH

THIS UGLY REALITY IS TO DROP THE INCLUSIVE USAGE OF THE TOO GENERAL

TERM 'HINDUISM' ALTOGETHER, AND TO CALL A TAMASIC TRADITION

TAMASIC. THE BELOW AUTHOR MAKES NO DISTINCTION AT ALL BETWEEN

SATTVIC AND TAMASIC INTERPRETATIONS OF THE VEDAS, AND RELIGIOUS

TRADITIONS. S/HE LUMPS EVERYTHING SO-CALLED 'HINDU' IN TOGETHER, AND

PROCEEDS TO PAINT ALL 'HINDUS' WITH THE SAME DIABOLIZING BRUSH. S/HE

SORTS ALL OF INDIAN HISTORY FOR THE TAMASIC WORST OF THE WORST, AND

THEN LABELS IT 'HINDUISM', AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A SINGLE SATTVIC

HINDU IN HISTORY. THIS IS WHAT BIGOTS ALWAYS DO. HINDU BIGOTS DO IT

ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN BIGOTS DO IT

ABOUT HINDUISM.

 

FOR THOSE DECENT PERSONS WHO IDENTIFY AS 'HINDU', THEY WILL

IMMEDIATELY WANT TO DENY EVERYTHING S/HE SAYS AS EXAGGERATED OR

UNTRUE. HOWEVER WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS ESTABLISHING THEIR OWN

TRADITIONS AS SATTVIC. THEY SHOULD NOT BE TRYING TO DENY , MINIMIZE

OR COVER-UP THE TRUTH ABOUT EVILS COMMITTED IN THE NAME OF SO-

CALLED 'VEDIC' TRADITIONS. THE EVILS ARE THERE. THEY ARE DESCRIBED

IN THE VEDIC TRADITION ITSELF, AND COMDEMNED BY THOSE VEDIC

RELIGIONISTS WHO HAVE

REALIZATION OF GOD, IN THE MODE OF GOODNESS.

 

WHILE I AM NOT ABLE TO FINISH DETAILED COMMENTS ON ALL THESE POINTS

AT THIS TIME, PLEASE NOTE THAT BELOW, THE AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE

REGARDING THE RAMAYANA, IS A REACTIONARY LEFTIST OR BLACK RACIST

INTERPRETATION AGGRESSIVELY BEING PROMOTED BY THE COMMUNISTS, BLACK

MUSLIMS AND SOME CHRISTIANS, TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE

DARKER 'LOWER CASTE' DRAVIDIANS OR DALITS OF SOUTH INDIA, AND THE

LIGHTER SO-CALLED VEDIC ARYANS OF THE NORTH. THIS MOVEMENT IS BOTH

RELIGIOUSLY AND POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. BY 'BLACK RACIST', I MEAN

THAT IT IS THE PRODUCT OF A DRAVIDIAN, VEDDA, AFRICAN NEGROID AND

AUSTRALOID REACTIONARY MOVEMENT TO WHITE RACIST OPPRESSION IN THE

NAME OF VEDIC 'ARYAN' RELIGION. THE USA-BASED RACIST BLACK MUSLIM

ORGANIZATION IS AGGRESSIVELY PROMOTING THIS WHITE RACIST

INTERPRETATION OF THE RAMAYANA IN THEIR EFFORT TO CONVERT THE DALITS

AND DARKER SKINNED PEOPLES OF SOUTH INDIA, ASIA AND AUSTRONESIA TO

THEIR BLACK RACIST BRAND OF FANATICAL ISLAM.

 

THE REAL PROBLEM OF CASTE OPPRESSION HAS BEEN INTERPRETED, AS PER THE

19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ARYANISTS, AS THE HISTORICAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN

THE LIGHT ARYANS AND THE DARK DASYUS, VANARAS OR RAKSHASHAS. A

CENTURY AGO, THE WHITE RACIST EUROPEAN ARYANISTS AGGRESSIVELY

PROMOTED THIS IDEA, AND SOME MEMBERS OF THE DARK RACES OF SOUTH ASIA

HAVE NOW EMBRACED IT, AND ARE CREATING A REACTIONARY MOVEMENT BASED

ON THE RACIST ARYAN INVASION THEORY, AND THE SAME RACIST-CORRUPTED

READINGS OF THE ARYAS' SACRED TEXTS.

 

THE RACIAL INTERPRETATION OF RAMA AS AN ARYAN RACE-HERO OPPRESSOR OF

THE DARK DRAVIDIANS IS NOW BEING AGGRESSIVELY PROMOTED BY THE

COMMUNISTS, BLACK MUSLIMS AND EVEN BY SOME MISLED CHRISTIANS, IN

THEIR ATTEMPT TO 'LIBERATE' THE SOUTH INDIANS, SRI LANKANS AND OTHERS

FROM THE CASTE OPPRESSION OF 'RACIST VEDIC ARYAN BRAHMINISM'. THE

AUTHOR BELOW IS CLEARLY PART OF THIS SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO DIABOLIZE

EVERYTHING VEDIC OR ARYAN AS WHITE RACIST, PATRIARCHAL

AND VIOLENTLY EVIL.

 

THUS RAMA IS DEPICTED IN THIS MOVEMENT AS A MERE PATRIARCHAL, WHITE

RACIST WOMEN-HATING HUMAN, AND THE RAKSHASAS ARE INTERPRETED NOT AS

DEMONS (WHICH THEY ARE ACCORDING TO AUTHETIC TRADITION) BUT AS DARK

SKINNED ABORIGENIES. IN THIS SYSTEM OF INTERPRETATION, RAVANA IS THE

ARYAN-DEFEATED HERO OF THE DARK RACES OF SOUTH ASIA. IN THIS RACIST

INTERPRETATION OF THE RAMAYANA, THE RAKSHASAS AND RAKSHASHIS ARE THE

ANSCESTORS OF THE DRAVIDIANS , THE TAMILS, TELUGU, OR EVEN THE

VEDDA. THUS SARPANAKA, AS A DARK-SKINNED ABORIGINAL WOMAN, IS

MULTILATED FOR APPROACHING THE ARYAN LORDS FOR HUSBANDS. HOWEVER,

SARPANAKA IS DECRIBED IN AUTHENTIC TRADITION AS A SHAPE-SHIFTING

DEMONESS WHO WAS ABOUT TO DEVOUR THE HELPLESS HUMAN WOMEN SITA ALIVE

( RAMAYANA, ARANYA KANDA CHAPTER TW0 ). SARPANAKA WAS A

SUPERNATURAL DEMONESS, NOT A HUMAN, AND WAS PUNISHED (NOT SLAIN ! )

FOR ATTEMPTING TO EAT A HELPLESS 'HUMAN' WOMAN. (THERE ARE SO MANY

VERSIONS OF THE RAMAYANA THAT THESE STORIES MAY BE IN DIFFERENT

LOCATIONS .....LOOK FOR THE STORY OF SARPANAKA).

 

SARPANAKA WAS THE SISTER OF THE DEMON KING RAVANA. ANYONE WHO KNOWS

ANY AUTHENTIC (ANCIENT) VERSION OF THE RAMAYANA, KNOWS THAT RAVANA

WAS A TEN HEADED AND MANY ARMED DEMON, NOT A MERE HUMAN. THE

RAKSHASHAS WERE HUMAN EATING, SHAPE-SHIFTING DEMONS WITH BLACK MAGIC

SUPERNATURAL POWERS. TRADITIONALLY, RAVANA HIMSELF IS DESCRIBED AS

HIGHLY LEARNED IN THE SANSKRIT VEDAS, WHICH MEANS THAT HE COULD NOT

HAVE BEEN A 'NON ARYAN / NON VEDIC ABORIGINE', SPEAKING A ONLY A

DRAVIDIAN TONGUE, AS IMAGINED BY THE RACIST REVISIONISTS.

 

IN THE SAME WAY AS IN THE INCIDENT OF SARPANAKA'S MUTILATION, THE PRO-

RAKSHASHA (BLACK) RACIST INTERPRETATION OF THE RAMAYANA , HAS

COMPLETELY TWISTED THE TRADITIONAL SATTVIC VAISHNAVA INTERPRETATION

OF THE TEXT. FOR INSTANCE, MAKING THE VANARA HERO HANUMAT A JUNGLE-

DWELLING TRIBAL INSTEAD OF A MONKEY-LIKE CREATURE. IN THIS WAY, THE

RACIST INTERPRETATION IGNORES THE FACT THAT HANUMANA HAD A TAIL, OR

THAT RAKSHASHIS LIKE SARPANAKA WERE SUPERNATURAL SHAPE-SHIFTERS, OR

THAT RAVANA HAD TEN HEADS. THE IDEA THAT THE VANARAS WERE BLACK

ABORIGENES IS UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS, HAVING NO REAL SUPPORT IN ANY

RATIONAL READING OF THE UNCORRUPTED TEXTS. ONLY THROUGH THE

PERVERTED FILTER OF EUROPEAN 'ARYOSOPHIC' RACISM, IS IT POSSIBLE TO

READ-BACK RACISM INTO THE RAMAYANA. SUCH A RACIST READING IS PURELY

A MODERN PHENOMENON. EVEN 500 YEARS AGO, SUCH A READING IS NOT

ATTESTED.

 

IT IS CLEAR THAT AT THE TIME OF THE MOGUL RULER AKBAR, RAVANA AND THE

RAKSHASHAS WERE CONSIDERED SUPERNATURAL DEMONS. THE RACIST

INTERPRETATION OF THE RAMAYAN WAS UNKNOWN TO OR UNUSED BY THE AKBAR

COURT, BECAUSE THE 1582 ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE RAMAYAN

COMMISSIONED BY THE MOGUL EMPEROR AKBAR CLEARLY DEPICTS THE RAKSHSHAS

AS GIANT SHAPE-SHIFTING DEMONS, AND RAVANA AS A (LIGHT-SKINNED !)

TEN HEADED AND MULTI ARMED FIEND. INCIDENTLY, RAMA IS DEPICTED AS

BLUE, LAKSMANA AS 'WHITE' (LIGHT FLESH COLORED) AND HANUMAT IS A

LIGHT-COLORED MONEY, COMPLETE WITH A TAIL. THE RAKSHASHAS ARE

DEPICTED AS TRUE NON HUMAN MONSTERS, WITH GIGANTIC GROTESQUE FORMS

AND COLORS, HORNS GROWING OUT OF THEIR HEADS, HUGE FANGS AND CLAWS

ETC.

 

IN THE LATER 19TH CENTURY, THE MODERN RACIST INTERPRETATION OF THE

RAMAYANA REALLY RECIEVED A BIG IMPETUS FROM THE EUROPEAN RACIST

ARYANISTS, WHO PUT A RACIAL INTERPRETATION ONTO THE RELIGIOUS

TERM 'ARYA', AND DECIDED THE RACIAL 'ARYANS' WERE THE 'WHITE'

NORTHERN EUROPEANS OR CAUCASIANS WHO HAD INVADED AND ENSLAVED THE

DARK NATIVES OF INDIA IN THE REMOTE PAST. THEY INTERPRETED BOTH THE

MAHABHARATA AND THE RAMAYANA AS STORIES OF THE SUPERIOR WHITE ARYANS'

CONQUEST OF THE DARK INFERIORS OF THE INDIAN SUB-CONTINENT.

 

THE BLACK RACISTS IN THEIR REACTIONARY MOVEMENT, ARE NOW SIMPLY

BUILDING ON THIS WHITE RACIST ARYANIST INTERPRETATION OF THE

RAMAYANA. THEY HAVE EMBRACED THIS IDEA OF RAMA AS A WHITE ARYANIST

RACE HERO, AND HAVE CHOSEN TO TAKE RAVANA AS THEIR OWN BLACK RACE

HERO. NEITHER THE WHITE RACIST OR REACTIONARY BLACK RACIST MUNDANE

INTERPRETATION OF THE RAMAYANA HAS ANY MERIT AS TRADITIONAL AT ALL.

IF THERE WAS ANY HISTORICAL MERIT TO THE RACIST INTERPRETATION OF THE

RAMAYANA, THEN THE 1582 EDITION'S ILLUSTRATIONS WOULD MAKE THIS

ABUNDENTLY CLEAR. RATHER, THESE ILLUSTRATIONS PROVE THAT THE

RAKSHSHAS WERE TRADITIONALLY BELIEVED TO BE REAL DEMONS, HANUMAN WAS

A REAL MONKEY-LIKE BEING, RAMA WAS PICTURED AS BLUE (OR BLUE-GREEN)

AND THERE WAS NO RACIAL SUBTEXT CONTRASTING 'THE DARK SRI LANKANS' OR

DRAVIDIANS ETC. AND THE LIGHT ARYAS.

 

MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL THESE ISSUES IN

DEPTH. I HAVE VERY LIMITED ABILITY TO SIT UP AND WRITE, AND HAVE

MANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS. I HOPE THESE FEW WORDS HELP A LITTLE.

"The book examines in depth the antiquity, rituals and religious

practices of India's little known Kondh tribals inhabiting the

eastern ghats of Orissa. Steeped in legends, the origin of the

Kondhs, including geographical, social and economic aspects, is

scientifically traced. This is followed by an account of the

pioneering efforts made by the East India Company, firstly, to put

down the practice of Meriah human sacrifice, believed by the Kondhs

to propitiate the dreaded Earth Goddess; and secondly, to suppress

the practice of female infanticide. These practices are garnered from

early sources and described in clinical detail. The ritual of human

sacrifice and its later replacement by buffalo sacrifice is, in

particular, delineated in all its grisly details. The psyche of the

Kondh people is highlighted in justifying these practices and the

invocations addressed to their Gods reflect their abidingly inherent

faith in their actions. The volume also provides an historical

perspective of the spread of Christianity and the establishment of

the Protestant church in these remote tracts. A section of the book

also dwells on the art of "Lost Wax" bronze emblems and other

artefacts. The significance of the use of these emblems in human

sacrifice, their place in the bridal dowry, and the processes of

their manufacture provide fascinating reading.

 

Kali Scarifice

 

The goddess Kali (lit `black'), described in the Mahabharata as "born

of anger ... the cruel daughter of the ocean of blood, the drinker of

blood", is the terrifying form of Durga, the consort of Shiva, one of

the trinity of `all powerful' Hindu gods. Kali is perhaps the best

known of all the Tantric shakti divinities and is seen as

representing, or controlling, destruction and death in the unending

cycle of life. Often known affectionately as Ma (`Mother') Kali by

devotees for her other, protective qualities, her propitiation in the

past occasionally involved human sacrifice; in the modern era it

continues to include, inter alia, animal sacrifice. This practice,

which emerged as a prominent feature of Hindu worship during the late

Vedic period (900-500 BC), is seen as continuing the process of

creation by repeating the first great sacrifice in which the world

was created. There are specific rites and rituals associated with it

and the value of the sacrifice depends upon their correct performance

by a priest. Kali is usually portrayed with multiple arms, a

protruding tongue, wearing a garland of skulls and treading on the

prostrate figure of Shiva.

 

Remain anchored to values

 

16-04-1999 :: Pg: 24 :: Col: c

 

CHENNAI, APRIL 16. Human beings can be categorised into three types

according to their behaviour. The best is he who anticipates the

wishes of his parents and elders and fulfils them without waiting for

them to express the same. The second is the middling who promptly

attends to what he is ordered to do. Neglecting to carry out the

wishes of elders is considered the worst form of conduct.

 

This analysis of human conduct occurs in the form of an introspection

by Nachiketes in the Katha Upanishad also known as Kathaka Upanishad

which occurs in the Krishna Yajur Veda. His father Vajasravasa, who

was a poor and pious man, performed a sacrifice and gave away as

presents to the officiating priests a few old and feeble cows

observing which he felt greatly disturbed by the improper observance

of the sacrifice. He proposed that he be offered as an offering. And,

when he persisted in his request his father in a fit of rage said,

``Unto Yama I give thee.''

 

In his discourse Swami Asushotananda said, Nachiketes reflected on

his father's words. After reasoning to himself he concluded that he

had been a good son, if not, at least the mediocre kind. So, he

wondered what his father wanted to achieve by sending him to Yama's

abode as he was certainly not worthless.

 

The Upanishads are replete with ideas which aid meditation, very

necessary in life. Meditation is not just sitting alone everyday at

an appointed hour silently. It is reflection about life from time to

time - taking stock of one's situation. Such moments of reflection

are essential; otherwise one will get engrossed in the trivia of day-

to-day life without remaining anchored to values and the spiritual

goal.

 

Nachiketes reminded his father that life in the world was transitory

and hence it was more important to uphold values as neither his

ancestors nor his contemporaries had ever broken their word.

RE: Child

 

COUPLE HELD FOR CHILD SACRIFICE IN INDIA:

 

"Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International" (human rights section) New

Delhi, Jan 30: (H. R. N. I) Indian police arrested a couple after

they sacrificed a neighbour's daughter in the hope that it would give

them a child of their own.

 

Police also arrested a witch of the village who told them it was the

only way for them to have children. The couple had been charged with

abducting the six year-old innocent girl, sacrificing her to the

Hindu goddness Kali and then throwing her body into a pond in a

village near India's southern most tip of Kanyakumari.

 

In India ritual murder of children is very common, even most such

incidents go unreported.

 

In the easternIndian hills of Chotanagpur, tribespeople try to abduct

children each year, believing their blood, if sprinkled on fields,

guarantees a good harvest.

 

"This penetrating work of the author can safely be designated as both

This chapter details the fierce persecution of women in Hinduism.

Women are eaten alive by wild dogs, their ears and noses are

amputated, some are chopped up whilst others are burnt alive. Nor are

these due to any `corruption'; they are all sanctioned by the Vedas

and have been practiced since the Aryans invaded India. This cruelly

inhuman treatment of women shows that Hinduism is a truly animal

religion.

 

 

**SHOWS ACCEPTANCE OF WHITE RACIST ARYAN INVASION THEORY

 

Inhuman Persecution of Women in Brahmanism

 

Chapter 3

 

Genocide of Women in Hinduism

 

by Sita Agarwal

 

The scriptures of the 6 orthodox (`astika') schools of Brahmanism,

including the sects of Vasihnavism and Vedism, prescribe the cruelest

punishments imaginable for women guilty of even minor offences. Mere

disobedience to the husband is immediately punished by amputation and

maiming, whilst severe betrayal leads to certain death. Women guilty

of lesbianism have their fingers chopped off, whilst adulterous wives

are eaten alive by dogs.

 

3.1 AMPUTATION OF WOMENS' EARS AND NOSES Aryan women were severely

punished with amputation of ears and noses for even minor offences,

often by their own husbands. The Brahmanic secular court and

religious literature is full of such instances : Ramayana : `Lord'

Rama practiced the savage cutting off of womens' noses for minor

offences, thereby providing divine sanction for this sadistic custom.

In the Ramayana, Shurpanakha is described as a black Dravidian lady (

referred to as `Rakshis' or demonesses by the Aryans ) who fell in

love with Rama. She proposed marriage to him, but he refused her,

directing her to his brother Laxman. This pious Hindu God immediately

cut off her ears and nose for the `crime' of daring to propose to

him. The `mighty' Ram fully condoned this cruel act. [ Alld.1036 ]

Otherwise, Ram, the `ideal husband', showed little regard to female

life; for instance, he killed Tataka [ Alld.1048 ], merely because

she was a "Rakshi", or Black Sudra woman. He cut her body into pieces

after maiming her in the cruellest manner available. He mutilated her

genitals and then shamelessly chopped off pieces of her body one by

one after thrusting his sword into her vagina.

 

**THERE ARE INNUMERAL VERSIONS OF THE RAMAYAN AND PURANAS, BUT

NO 'ORTHODOX' VERSION SAYS ANY SUCH THING AS THE ABOVE. THE 1582

ABKAR VERSION FOR INSTANCE ( BALA KANDA CHAPTER TWO) CLEARLY

DESCRIBES TATAKA AS A SUPERNATURAL DEMONESS WHO ASSUMED MANY FORMS,

CREATED ILLUSIONS, FLEW IN THE AIR, SHOWERED BOULDERS ETC.

IN THIS VERSION SHE IS MUTILATED AND FINALLY SLAIN BY THE GOLDEN

ARROWS OF RAMA AND LAKSMANA. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT AMONG THE

RAKSHASHAS' GREAT SINS IS THE EATING OF HUMAN BEINGS. TATAKA, LIKE

SARPANAKA IS DESCRIBED AS A HUMAN-EATING DEMONESS. SHE HAD ONCE BEEN

A POWERFUL YAKSHI, BUT WAS CURSED AND BECAME A MAN-EATING SHAPE-

SHIFTING RAKSHASHI DEMONESS, WHO TERRORIZED A WHOLE REGION. STILL

RAMA , WHO WAS UNDER A VOW TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM HER, DIDN'T WANT TO

SLAY HER, AND HAD TO BE CONVINCED TO DO IT BY THE SAGE VISHVAMITRA.

RAMA AND LAKSMANA HAD TO PROTECT THE INHABITANTS OF THE FOREST BEING

PREYED UPON BY THE GIGANTIC DEMONESS TATAKA. THE IDEA THAT SHE WAS

A SUDRA WOMEN IS PREPOSTEROUS.

 

**IN THE VALMIKI SAKHA (VERSION) OF THE RAMAYANA, THE STORY OF THE

DEMONESS TATAKA'S DEATH OCCURS IN CHAPTER 26 OF THE BALA KANDA.

SHE IS DESCRIBED AS A GIGANTIC MISHAPEN MONSTER, WHO COULD USE BLACK

ARTS, DISSAPPEAR, SHOWER DUST AND BOULDERS, AND ASSUME VARIOUS

FORMS. THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A SUDRA WOMEN TO ME ! STILL THE

HEROS DIDN''T WANT TO SLAY HER, JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A FEMALE

DEMONESS. DESPITE HER MANY MURDEROUS CRIMES, LIKE DEVOURING

EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO PASS THROUGH THE FOREST, RAMA AND LAKSHMANA

ONLY WOUNDED HER, HOPING SHE WOULD STOP ATTACKING PEOPLE. IT WAS

THE SAGE THAT INSISTED THAT SHE HAD TO BE SLAIN, AND TATAKA HERSELF

WHO REFUSED TO STOP ATTACKING, AND THUS PROVED THE SAGE CORRECT,

FORCING HER OWN DEMISE. IN THIS VERSION TOO, SHE IS SLAIN BY THE

ARROWS OF RAMA AND LAKSHMANA.
