tackleberry Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 The following verses are from Garuda Purana, Brahma kanda, 16th Adyaya: maNimAnnAma daityastu shaN^karAkhyo bhaviShyati | sarveShAM saN^karaM yastu kariShyati na saMshayaH || 3:16:70 tena shaN^karanAmA.asau bhaviShyati khageshvara | dharmAn.h bhAgavatAn.h sarvAn.h vinashyati sarvathA || 3:16:71 A Demon by name maNimAn will come into being as Shankara, who will, no doubt, pollute everything. This is why, O King of birds (Garuda), his name will be Shankara; he will pollute and destroy all BhAgavata Dharmas. --------- Curiosity Query: It's said 80% of Hindus worship Sankara, does that mean Christians are right in calling Hindus 'demon-worshippers'?

The above sloka is not in Garuda Purana. It is a lie. Most probably by some christians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razious Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Curiosity Query: It's said 80% of Hindus worship Sankara, does that mean Christians are right in calling Hindus 'demon-worshippers'? No this is not the reason that Christians call Hindus demon worshippers. according to Christian doctrine any worships be it even Krishna or Vishnu - any thing other than Christian faith is Demon worship. By this standard all Hindus be it whatever their deity - as long as they are not Christians - are demon worshippers. The above Slovak is not in Garuda Purana. It is a lie. Most probably by some christians. True, this sloka is not found in Garuda Purana, at least in the older versions of the purana. It is quite possible that the latter version might contain this . In that case it must be a political strategy to corrupt the Purana by some interested party. I personally don't think that Christians have done it. If that is the case they will not single out Adi Sankara for their attack. They attack Hinduism as a whole and other religions too. And they would not have chosen Garuda Purana as the medium for this attack. Most probably it must have been done by some Fanatic Hindu only who hate Advida philosophy of Adi sankara. The threat to Hinduism is not from outside. The evil exist with in. Hindus them self are not united. In fights brings their own down falls. .....An Anonymous author Magic Flute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinduism♥krishna Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Who said shankara wad demon ? adi Shankara was an avatar of shankara . Who said 80% hindus worship shankara. Many hindus worship krishna and rama or avataras of vishnu ... I know what u r trying to do u want to destroy hinduism ( iskcon also included in it ) and want to Christianity ... V all hindus know Christians r demonic in nature and they worship christ who was a demon . Remember always iskcon is a part of hinduism . There r 1000 proofs to prove it . But there is not a single reason to disprove it ... Hare krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhootarajaru Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 well please don't kill the shloka itself by stating it as invalid. The above shloka is not a lie. It is true, just because it disproves something it cannot be stated as a lie.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinduism♥krishna Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 First thing , In sanatana hindu dharma , worshippers of vishnu are much more than Shiva . Our vedic scriptures don't mention any distinction between vishnu and shiva . They both are manifestations of same bramhan . They both are complete bramhan . So worshipping vishnu is not different from worshipping shiva . Only topmost devotees understand this secret . Many ancient sages had realised that shiva and vishnu are one . In ramayana , lord rama himself says that he who worships him but don't worship shiva don't attain him ever . Bhagavan krishna and rama were topmost devotees of bhagavan shiva . And what about that interpolated verse ! It is certainly lie and that was propagated by some anti-advaitians , probably the so called vaishnawas,gaudiyas . You can read gaudiya's scripture " chaitanya charitamrita " wherein there are almost four chapters to insult advaitians . From this you would know how much they hate advaitians . Then is it possible that they can not interpolate less popular scripture garuda purana ? They are not real vaishnawas at all . Because a real vaishnawa never critisizes anyone ever.
