Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Dear Kareemullah bhai, Salamalekum, Bhakti is eternal, The undermentioned message of brother Gopi Krishna is a very detailed reply to your doubts and I am sure you agree to every word. I find from your statement that you have developed some differences on the religions, which is not correct. We feel every religion has got it's own sanctity. One need not search for the ancient records of Hinduism, which are all some millions of years old to compare to that of a few thousand years old. Let us not drag the subject. I am rather forced to write to you in regard to last paras of your two observations. Your statement of cutting and pasting the articles amounts to an allegation. Do you know the meaning of your own statement. Are you following the sacred Khuran written by somebody or you are writing your own and praying. Every one in this universe is a student who should study the books of great authors. There is no bar for education till the last breath. There are many a number of writings of brother Gopi Krishna of his own, quoting references of eminent personalities almost all with moral binding and every one in this Group read them with appreciation and good spirit. We find none of his messages hurts not only human beings but also every living soul. He never expresses that he is doing anything. He attributes to God. That is the divinity. It is really surprising to note,as to how such an irrelevant remarks on a noble messages were given, since from both the texts of your messages, I find that you are a very knowledgable person. My dear brother, kindly follow bhakti and love instead of discriminating religions and desist from criticising the divine messages since it will harm the person who criticises, This is not only for you; but also to any one who has similar thinking. Thanking you, Yours lovingly, Sastry. Paritala Gopi Krishna <p_gopi_krishna wrote: My Dear Brother, Love and Love alone..... It is not at all my intention to enter into an argument with you, but let me put the things straight only once for you and for every one here in this group. First of all, I am very happy to receive your mail. Yes, it is true that its simple to cut and paste lengthy stories from other sources. But, I feel happy to do so, as I am not cutting the throats of other innocent and helpless human beings or living creatures in the name of religion. Hinduism never ever preached barbarism in the name of religion. Please keep this always in the back of your mind before commenting on the other religions. Visiting temples, etc., please go to any good temple like Tirupathi or any other, you will find thousands of people practising other religions, and the " low-caste people " as you put it, are also in the same line to worship the God, as anybody else, wither high-caste or rich. Nobody is denied entry, whereas in Mecca, only a Muslim is permitted. Is it not? Highlighting one or two rare examples, as you did, is height of foolishness and stupidity. In fact, one of the wives of Lord Venkateswara is Bibi Nancharamma. Do you know that? So, kindly remove the tainted glasses on your eyes to see the things in their right perspective. We have only four varnas, but people who invaded this sacred land, ruined the varna dharma under their sword. Now, preaching or questioning the Hindu dharma is only to cover up their brutality and to exhibit to the world altogether a different face. Anywhere in the world, the moment one used the word " Terrorist " , only one religion comes to mind. Is it not? Why it is so? Let us question ourselves before questioning others and trying to preach others. The so-called untouchables are ruling the country in India. We have presidents, chief ministers, ministers, chief justices of Supreme Court and senior high ranking officials and everywhere people from other religions are thriving in this sacred land. Can you show me just one example in the neighbouring countries or for that matter anywhere in the world, where other religions are in majority but a minority person is at the helm of affairs? Still, one has the audacity to question others, as if one is sacred and the others are sinners? Sant Kabir Das was a low-caste (cobbler). Valmiki, the author of Ramayana, was a hunter. The writer of Indian constitution was a low- caste. Sage Vishwamitra was a Warrior. Lord Rama is a Kshatriya. Lord Krishna is a Cow-hard. We wholeheartedly worship all of them. How many example do you need like this? I can give thousands. Can you name a few like this from other religions? So, before barking at others, please look into details, you will get aplenty in Hinduism and no other religion can even boast that kind of greatness even in their wildest dreams. Please remember. We have complete freedom in all respects, irrespective of sex, region, religion, etc. Can you show me this anywhere in the world, including in the neighbouring countries? You cannot, I challenge you dear Brother. Try to understand the greatness of Hinduism, before questioning. Learn and practise to preach and evolve as a real human being but not a branded human being as in other religions. We worship every deity, we have that freedom, do you have that? We have the liberty to go to church, masjid, gurudwara or anywhere, do you have that freedom in the neighbouring countries? It is wise not to get into this kind of argument, but since you have started without any concern and respect for others sentiments and feelings, I have to reply you and this is my first and last reply to you. Henceforth, I sincerely advice and request you to limit yourself learning the things than questioning, without looking into your own backyard. Many thanks for giving me this opportunity Love and Love alone.... P. Gopi Krishna Mohammed Kareemullah <kareem wrote: Brother, Inter cast marriage is not only the main difference between sects. The other religions allow every one to visit their worship places, their homes, meet them with shaking hands .... whereas in Hinduism? When some say they belong to same religion even though of different sect, they come forward and treat them as their brothers, eat from the same plate, drink from same glass - is it also in Hinduism? Why a harijan or low cast person can't enter temple? Why they have to be away from city/town forced to a abandon area? Why they are treated even today as untouchables? Try to think about other religions with open mind and honest. You will find many positive things which Hinduism lost because of aging. I respect sacred texts of Hinduism, but where are the original copy, in its original written language? Even if exist, its not available to others except of those from High cast Hindus. Why? If its for whole humanity, they should be available to all. My sincere request to you brother, read the sacred text of your choice, try to list out what does its each paragraph/page teaches, how can you implement it in your life and advice others. Its simple to cut and paste lengthy stories from any of other internet sites, but search of reality guides you to a straight path which one day you may achieve it. May Creator of you, me and whole universe guide us towards straight path and protect from all evil and wrong faiths. Best wishes, Fellow human brother, Kareemullah We feel apologetic about the differences in Hindu society especially since we think that the followers of other religions are not divided in the same way as we are. The latter are scornful of Hinduism on this score and some Hindus themselves feel that the differences in our society are unjust. But, if you pause to reflect on the subject, you will realise that if our civilization has survived from prehistoric times until today it is only because of these very differences in our society, the differences according to varna dharma. In other religions too, even if there is no caste according to their scriptures, the communities are divided. Some of the divisions are almost like jatis and they do not intermarry. Muslims are divided into Sias (Shias), Sunnis and Ahmadiyas. In the south the Pattanis (Pathans) and Labbai Muslims do not intermarry. Among Christians there are Catholics, Protestants and followers of the (Greek) Orthodox Church. Hindus are divided on the basis of labour or work, but are united on another level. But followers of other religions, though themselves divided, speak ill of us. Yet we do not respond properly to their criticism. " Oh writer! An Angel watches over all you write. Make your writing meaningful for it will eventually return to you and you will be questioned about what you wrote. " Ali ibn Abi Talib (May Allah be pleased with him) Did you know?
