Dear Bhagavathas

 

You may want to go through following two links to know

what the contemporary Islamic literary works say about

temple destructions that took place over 1000 years in

India in which many Vishnu temples, Siva temples,

Buddhist Viharas were razed by invading forces and

rebuilt many times by the locals because of shear

faith and guidance of supreme acharyas took birth

during various times of troubles.

http://voi.org/books/htemples2/

 

This might appear as if it projects one religion as

more cruel for those who read these for the first

time, who has less knowledge on the actual Indian

history and more knowledge of the 19th century and

20th century Indologist's twisted history(which tend

to negate totally the collective memory of Indian

subcontinent). These books refers to the words of the

Contemporary Islamist writers on the destruction they

caused to the temples and to the followers

 

These books will provide you ample proof that the

Mosque is standing on the birth place of Sri Krishna.

As per the literary records it took many days to

destroy that Temple and the Murthy has been buried in

the entrance of Agra Fort so that people get in and

out will walk on that.

 

The greatest thing to note about India is the spirit

and conviction of that land which prevented from the

total loss of memory of its ancient root. God was so

kind in sending so many Acharyas to propagate Veda and

its philosophys from time to time. Other than his

Karunyam, nothing could have prevented total

destruction as happened in other countries where

Islamic invation saw to it that there is no past.

Hare Krishna.

 

I had the good fortune of being at the Lord's

appearance place in Mathura last December - January.

 

As it presently stands, the mosque is next door to the

Janmasthana. The original prison in which the Lord

appeared is present but has been considerably

converted into a temple and further additions have

been made much later on. Some aspects of Kamsa's

palace structure also remains. This is what has been

said and presented at the location. Some small

sections of the original prison paraphernalia like the

iron is also present where the Lord's appearance is

presently commemorated.

 

Perhaps the present structural location and the

mosque's location may have gone through slight

alterations in terms of the external infrastructure

but I would say that the immediate prison cell where

the appearance took place is still the same one as at

present.
