Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Dear members,It may be remembered that a mughal invader was looting the Hindu temples in South India and was demolishing them. One could see the evidence in Rock Temple in Tiruchy even now.It is said that when he went to Tirumala with the object of looting and breaking, a bairahi confronted him in front of the temple. The bairahi is reported to have told the invader " If you loot this temple, you will get only whatever money and jewellery that are available just now. This temple receives as offerings, several times that value every year. When the temple is demolished, there will be no further offerings. So it will be like killing a hen that lays golden eggs. On the other hand, if you leave the temple intact and authorise someone to send you regularly a portion of the riches collecte, you will be able to receive several times the bounty which you will get now." The legend has it that the invader saw the bairahi's wisdom, accepted his suggestion and appointed him as his regent or deputy to collect and send the offerings. Thus Tirumala temple was saved from destruction. - ">Vrin Parker vediculture Friday, February 14, 2003 7:15 AM [world-vedic] Anti-Indian Campaign Enters Alternative Media Dear Friends,The ongoing campaign against India has entered the western alternative media. Mags from organic consumer to the dissedent voice are all ignorantly publishing articles by Roy etc.I feel this is a very negative development.With full respect to you all as professional journalists, many Americans do not believe what they read in the mainstream media. However when they read it in the alternative press they feel as if they are privy to suppressed information and believe it.It is strange to read anti-Indian articles in the NYT and then read the same rhetoric in an anarchist mag. INDIA IS NOW BEING ATTACKED BY THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE WESTERN MEDIA. I don't know any other country that is being targeted in such a broad way. Even Saudi Arabia has strong allies and apologists in the western media. Though it may be savaged by one branch another branch pats it on the back.So any one with credentials, such as consumer safety advocates or agricultural experts that can contact some of these well meaning(I hope) but gullible alternative media outlets, please do so ASAP.INDIA NEEDS YOU NOW.Vrin ParkerThis is an information resource and discussion group for people interested in the World's Ancient Vedic Culture, with a focus on its historical, archeological and scientific aspects.
