Shiva in Kaba.

[Guest guest]

Namaskar

 

I recently encountered an incident where an alleged Muslim tried to denigrate the sacred Shiva linga comparing it to a phallic symbol and asserting thatHindu women use it as a fertility symbol. I replied in the following way and revealed to him the true nature of the most sacred shrine of Islam, the Kaaba.I have not received a response from him yet, it is hoped that he has not died from shock!

 

As you are aware, that al-Quran (Koran) states that knowledge is the lost property of the believer and he should gather it wherever he can. So what I amabout to relay to you is enlightening and already known to true scholars of Islam.However if you are a faithful Muslim then it will be a revelation which will change your entire outlook on the world and Islam. Feel free to forward thistestimony to your fellow brethren.A recent archaeological find in Kuwait unearthed a gold-plated statue ofthe Hindu deity Ganesh. A Muslim resident of Kuwait requested historical research material that can help explain the connection between Hindu civilisationand Arabia. Glancing through some research material recently, I was pleasantly surprised to come across a reference to a King Vikramaditya inscriptionfound in the Kaaba in Mecca proving beyond doubt that the Arabian Peninsula formed a part of his Indian Empire.The text of the crucial Vikramaditya inscription, found inscribed on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, is found recorded on page 315 ofa volume known as “Sayar-ul-Okul” treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey. Rendered in simple English the inscription says:

 

"Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during king Vikramâ’s reign. He was a noble, generous dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects.Nevertheless, at that time we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting and torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance hadenveloped our country. As the lamb struggling for her life in the cruel paws of a wolf us Arabs were caught up in ignorance. The entire country was envelopedin darkness as intense as on a new moon night. However, the present dawn and pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favour of the noble kingVikramaditya whose benevolent supervision did not lose sight of us- foreigners as we were. He spread his sacred religion amongst us and sent scholars whosebrilliance shone like that of the sun from his country to ours. These scholars and preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made cognisantof the presence of God, introduced to His sacred existenceand put on the road of Truth had come to our country to preach their religion and impart education atKing Vikramaditya’s behest."If you would like to read the Arabic wording, I reproduce it hereunder in Roman script:

 

"Itrashaphai Santu Ibikramatul Phahalameen Karimun Yartapheeha Wayosassaru Bihillahaya Samaini Ela Motakabberen Sihillaha YuheeQuid min howa Yapakhara phajjal asari nahone osirom bayjayhalem. Yundan blabin Kajan blnaya khtoryaha sadunya kanateph netephi bejehalin Atadari bilamasa-rateenphakef tasabuhu kaunnieja majekaralhada walador. As hmiman burukankad toluho watastaru hihila Yakajibaymana balay kulk amarena phaneya jaunabilamary Bikramatum".

 

A careful analysis of the above inscription enables us to draw the following conclusions:

 

1.That the ancient Indian empires may have extendedup to the eastern boundaries of Arabia until Vikramaditya and that it was he who for the first time conquered Arabia. Because the inscription says thatking Vikram who dispelled the darkness of ignorance from Arabia.2.That, whatever their earlier faith, King Vikrama’s preachers had succeeded in spreading the Vedic (based on the Vedas, the Hindu sacred scriptures)) wayof life in Arabia.3.That Indians to the Arabs imparted the knowledge of Indian arts and sciences directly by founding schools, academies and cultural centres. The belief, therefore,that visiting Arabs conveyed that knowledge totheir own lands through their own indefatigable efforts and scholarship is unfounded.Having seen the far reaching and history shaking implications of the Arabic inscription concerning king Vikrama, we shall now piece together the story ofits find. How it came to be recorded and hung in the Kaaba in Mecca. What are the other proofs reinforcing the belief that Arabs were once followers ofthe Indian Vedic way of life and that tranquillity and education were ushered into Arabia by king Vikramaditya’s scholars, educationists from an uneasyperiod of "ignorance and turmoil" mentioned in the inscription.

 

In Istanbul, Turkey, there is a famous library called Makhatab-e-Sultania, which is reputed to have the largest collection of ancient West Asian literature.In the Arabic, section of that library is an anthology of ancient Arabic poetry. That anthology was compiled from an earlier work in A.D. 1742 under theorders of the Turkish ruler Sultan Salim.

 

The pages of that volume are of Hareer – a kind of silk used for writing on. Each page has a decorative gilded border. That anthology is known as Sayar-ul-Okul.It is divided into three parts. The first part contains biographic details and the poetic compositions of pre-Islamic Arabian poets. The second part embodiesaccounts and verses of poets of the period beginning just after Prophet Mohammad’s times, up to the end of the Banee-Um-Mayya dynasty. The third part dealswith later poets up to the end of Khalif Harun-al-Rashid’s times.

 

Abu Amir Asamai, an Arabian bard who was the poet Laureate of Harun-al-Rashid’s court, has compiled and edited the anthology.

 

The first modern edition of “Sayar-ul-Okul” was printed and published in Berlin in 1864. A subsequent edition is the one published in Beirut in 1932.

 

The collection is regarded as the most important and authoritative anthology of ancient Arabic poetry. It throws considerable light on the social life,customs, manners and entertainment modes of ancient Arabia. The book also contains an elaborate description of the ancient shrine of Mecca, the town andthe annual fair known as OKAJ, which used to be held every year around the Kaaba temple in Mecca. This should convince readers that the annual HAJ of theMuslims to the Kaaba is of earlier pre-Islamic congregation.

 

However, the OKAJ fair was far from a carnival. It provided a forum for the elite and the learned to discuss the social, religious, political, literaryand other aspects of the Vedic culture then pervading Arabia. “Sayar-ul-Okul” asserts that the conclusion reached at those discussions was widely respectedthroughout Arabia. Mecca, therefore, followed the Varanasi tradition (of India) of providing a venue for important discussions among the learned whilethe masses congregated there for spiritual bliss. The principal shrines at both Varanasi in India and at Mecca in Arvasthan (Arabia) were Shiva temples.Even to this day ancient Mahadev (Shiva) emblems can be seen. It is the Shankara (Shiva) stone that Muslim pilgrims reverently touch and kiss in the Kaaba- black stone (al-Hajar-ul- Aswad).Arabic tradition has lost trace of the founding of the Kaaba temple. The discovery of the Vikramaditya inscription affords a clue. King Vikramaditya isknown for his great devotion to Lord Mahadev (Shiva). At Ujjain (India), the capital of Vikramaditya, exists the famous shrine of Mahakal, i.e., of LordShankara (Shiva) associated with Vikramaditya.Since according to the Vikramaditya inscription he spread the Vedic religion, who else but he could have founded the Kaaba temple in Mecca?A few miles away from Mecca is a big signboard that bars the entry of any non-Muslim into the area. This is a reminder of the days when theKaaba was stormed and captured solely for the newly established faith of Islam.The object in barring entry of non-Muslims was obviously to prevent itsrecapture.

 

As the pilgrim proceeds towards Mecca, he is asked to shave his head and beard and to don special sacred attire that consists of two seamless sheets ofwhite cloth. One is to be worn round the waist and the other over the shoulders. Both these rites are remnants of the old Vedic practice of entering Hindutemples clean- and with holy seamless white sheets.
