Hinduism Can Solve Terrorism and Environment, Official Says

January 1, 2007

NEW DELHI (January 02, 2007): Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi

said on Monday that Hinduism had answers to solve the two most tricky

issues of terrorism and environmental problems.

Modi was in Bangalore at a new temple built by Nityananda Dhyana

Peetha and said the Hindu culture taught the world about the "God who

existed in the human soul." It also taught the people that they get

what they practice.

"If you are good to humanity and your country you will attain God. If

you go the wrong way like the terrorists did, it was a sure receipt

for disaster, the Hinduism says. Broadmindedness, tolerance and

acceptance of others beliefs, which were inherent in the Hindu

teachings, can help wipe out terrorism in the world," he was quoted as

saying by UNI.

Modi said the religion contributed the most in saving the environment

from degradation. Trees were worshipped by the people which itself was

a deed that helped environmental protection.

He said that while UN observed one day in a year as Earth Day, Indians

salutes nature every day. The rivers remained unpolluted [as long as]

they were treated as the Mother Goddess by the people of India, he said.

hello all,

i find this quite rich coming from the main instigator of the gujarat

riots, as is outlined in the following article published by the hindu

.... this is obviously just a ploy to curb any further allegations and

embarrassments, such as the visa denial, on the part of the uk. govt.,

i loved it when they did that, serves the bigot right...

prem se kaho hum insaan hein!

(as opposed to dharam se kaho hum hindu hein...)

krishna
