  1. The sankhya philosophy of hinduism is atheistic. The charvakas too were atheistic. One can be a hindu and an atheist as well. The important thing in hinduism is righteousness and character. A righteous atheist , possessing good character will go to heaven, while an unrighteous atheist, possessing a bad character, will go to hell.
  2. Lets analyse this verse from the Yoga Vasistha, which is a part of the Ramayana, a sacred and important scripture of the Hindus ... Vasishta to Prince Rama. Yoga Vasishta Ramayan (II-18) says: Though human in origin, an exposition of truth is to be accepted; otherwise even what is regarded as divine revelation is to be rejected. Even a young boy's words are to be accepted if they are words of wisdom; else reject it like straw even if uttered by Brahma the creator." Here we find the sage vashista exhorting us to reject that which is irrational and illogical , even if it comes from the divine itself, and to accept that which is rational and logical, even if it comes from a young boy. And I believe this great teaching of the sage Vasishta , is very important for this world, which is plagued in religious fundamentalism and religious wars, which has created great bloodshed and suffering on earth. As Voltaire himself said , "As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities. "
  3. PERPETRATION OF THE BANGLADESH GENOCIDE OF HINDUS BY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS Bangladesh Over 2.5 million Hindus alone were slaughtered during the Pakistan-Bangladesh war by islamic terrorists in 1971. The types of crimes committed similar to the torture verses in the Koran. Robert E. Burns, the author of Wrath of Allah states, "The mutilation was disgusting—eyes gouged out, pregnant women disemboweled, male genitals cut off, women’s breasts cut off….." The persecution of "unbelievers" in the name of Allah , continues even today in Bangladesh under the Islamic rule. For example, Taslima Nasreen, the author of Lajja was given a death sentence for just stating the facts and speaking against the inhumane, cruel and barbaric nature of Islamic terrorism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_Bangladesh_atrocities http://hinduhumanrights.org/Banglade...angladesh.html
  4. PERSECUTION OF THE JAINS BY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS Islamic fundamentalists persecuted the adherents of the Jain religion , even though theirs is a noble religion that advocates strict non-violence towards all beings, including animals, even in the face of aggression. They were persecuted by the Islamic fundamentalists, especially during the times of Jahangir and Aurangzeb and Shivaji, the great Indian king and warrior , who fought against the Mughal imperialism in central India, protested against the persecution of the Jains by Aurangzeb. There is evidence of a large number of Jain temples being destroyed in the Muslim invasions of southern Bihar and Jharkhand as well as of western and northern Bengal, during the thirteenth and subsequent centuries in India.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
  5. PERSECUTION OF THE BUDDHISTS BY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Buddhists The Mahabodhi Movement in 1890s held the Muslim Rule in India responsible for the decay of Buddhism in India. Anagarika Dharamapala did not hesitate to lay the chief blame for the decline of Buddhism in India at the door of Muslim fanaticism. Dr. B. R.Ambedkar stated Islam as the major behind the decline of Buddhism in India. Several buddhist monasteries and the world famous university in Taxila was destroyed by islamic terrorists. Several central asian buddhist nations was also destroyed by islamic fundamentalists. The recent destruction of the giant Bamiyan Buddhist statues in Afghanistan ( which clearly shows a flourishing buddhist civilization in Afghanistan prior to Islamic invasion) by the Taliban is the latest in terms of vandalism by islamic fundamentalists, and which was condemned by the whole world.
  6. Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. --- Buddha (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.) Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. --- Buddha
  7. Islamic persecution of the Zoroastrians The Zoroastrian nation and civilization was destroyed by the Islamic fundamentalists in the 7th century A.D. and their temples were destroyed as well. Many Zoroastrians escaping islamic terrorism and persecution, fled to India , where they were given refuge and full freedom of worship by the Hindus.Hence we have a thriving Zoroastrian population in India with their own temples , heritage , culture and religion intact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecu...f_Zoroastrians <!-- / message -->
  8. First of all, I wish to say I am very honoured to speak on Thomas Paine, whom I consider to be one of the greatest men who ever walked on earth. I read this when I was in school and I have never forgotten it all these years. This is one of the most powerful quotes I have ever read in my life and which has greatly influenced me. The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. -----Thomas Paine As they say , "Quality is better than quantity." This single quote of Paine, is worth more than a thousand religious discourses and a thousand discourses on philosophy. In the past few weeks , I have been going throug his amazing works online, studying them, especially "The Age of Reason" , and I found it to be very educative indeed. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that Abraham Lincoln , an another hero of mine, was a student of Paine as well, and had gone through Paines works carefully. And Lincoln is considered world wide to be americas greatest president. So did Americas greatest inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, who is a self-confessed fan of Paine. And so indeed is Robert Ingersoll, one of Americas greatest humanists,political leaders and orators, who himself have influenced millions. I also learned that it was Thomas Paine himself, who coined the name, 'United States of America ' . Paine was also a fighter for abolition, women's rights, child's rights and animal rights long before they became popular. It is also a fact that Thomas Paine was the man who influenced and created the american revolution , and greatly influenced the french revolution as well, both of which set the example and standard for republicanism, democracy and equality to the whole world. And indeed every nation and people who pride on their democracy, republicanism and equality and freedom should be grateful to Thomas Paine. And what I most admire in Paine is his terrific strength of character, which never compromised on his principles. In fact his staunch idealism and integrity created problems for him in life, as he attacked even his friends who were not following what he felt to be right and proper. For example Paine attacked Washington, saying "I do not know whether you have lost your principles or that you never had any" ,when he realized that the American revolution had been hijacked by an elite, as was happening in France. He was also violently opposed to Washington owning slaves. Napoleon claimed he slept with a copy of 'Rights of Man' under his pillow and went so far as to say to Paine that "a statue of gold should be erected to you in every city in the universe." However, Paine quickly moved from admiration to condemnation as he saw Napoleon's moves towards dictatorship, calling him "the completest charlatan that ever existed." I guess if Paine was a hypocrite , and didn't criticize Washington or Napoleon, his life would have been much easier . That indeed is true, but I guess Paine 'unfortunately' had too much strength of character , which prevented him from doing anything of that sort. Which reminds me of a quote by George Bernard Shaw... "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. " Below I would like to put a few quotes by Thomas Paine, which will shed more light on his brilliant mind.... THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. ---Thomas Paine The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle? Is life so dear, peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me... Give me Liberty or give me Death! ---Thomas Paine (Washington himself found this speech so uplifting that he ordered it to be read to all his troops on 25 December 1776, prior to commencing his crossing of the Delaware.) I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. ---Thomas Paine “Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” ---Thomas Paine “'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” ---Thomas Paine “Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.” ---Thomas Paine “It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.” ---Thomas Paine “He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression;for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” ---Thomas Paine “The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance”. ---Thomas Paine “One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests”. ---Thomas Paine The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow” ---Thomas Paine “An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.” ---Thomas Paine “Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law” ---Thomas Paine The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection” ---Thomas Paine Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true” ---Thomas Paine It is an affront to treat falsehood with complaisance” ---Thomas Paine The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason.” ---Thomas Paine I also wish to state that it is my personal conviction that Thomas Paine should have become the first president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, or at least a president after that, considering his unparalleled contribution to the American revolution. And if he had indeed become the president of the UNITED STATES , the history of America and the whole world would have drastically changed for the better. Sadly , it was not to be. However his disciple and student, Abraham Lincoln,through his own presidency, rectified this grave historical error to a certain extent.

  10. On the aborginals of Australia. Indigenous Australians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  11. Australia , which belonged to the native australian aborginals , was colonised by the Britishers , who slaughtered the aborginals indulging in mass murder and rapine. Anthropologist Walter Roth asserted in 'The Bulletin' in 1880 about the situation in Queensland thus: The blacks have been murdered by thousands ... there is ... wholesale massacre of human beings; a relentless violation of women. [i have] seen the brain of an infant dashed out against a tree after another had been murdered. This is not fiction but the statement of one who, not three years ago, saw in Queensland scrub the sunburned corpses of men and women and children who had been murdered by officers of 'justice' and left for the crows. Much of the aborginals were exterminated by the British and driven from their lands.At the time of first European contact, it is estimated that a minimum of 315,000 and as many as 1 million people lived in Australia. By the early 20th century the indigenous population had declined to between 50,000 and 90,000. Even now the aborginals are poverty stricken, uneducated, and most of them are in prison, with very low life expectancy compared to the whites. Aborginal music is world famous, and the Indian enlightened master Sri Sri Ravi Shankar , during a visit to Australia was deeply touched to the heart by their music. Aborginal art and paintings are also thousands of years old and famous too. Humiliated and oppressed in their own land, it is time the world pay attention to this noble people , before they too become extinct and relegated to the waste basket of history.
  12. Islamic persecution of the Sikhs In India, Muslim fundamentalists tortured the Sikh Gurus and their families exactly as prescribed by the Koran. For example, the Sikh guru Tegh Bahadur was imprisoned in a cage like a wild animal, when he refused to forsake his religion for Islam. Three of his disciples were murdered in front of his eyes. One of them was Bhai Mati Das. He was sawed alive into little pieces. The other was wrapped up in cotton and burnt alive. Bhai Dyala, the third one, was boiled alive in a cauldron. Guru Tegh Bahadur himself was brutally tortured and killed in a similar fashion. The Khalsa , the organised military wing of Sikhism was subsequently created by Guru Govind Singh , in order to prevent Islamic terrorism and to protect innocent sikhs and hindus and prevent the outrage of ladies by islamic fanatics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Teg_Bahadur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Gobind_Singh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalsa
  13. Logic as an explicit analysis of the methods of reasoning received sustained development originally in India before the other civilizations , the chinese and the greek , which are the only civilizations along with India that developed the systems of logic in a clear, detailed and unambigous manner. So India was the first nation and civilization that studied and emphasized logic as the study of principles and criteria of valid inference and the method of reasoning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Logic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyaya <!-- / message -->
  14. Persecution of the Assyrians by Islamic terrorists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_Genocide In early 1918, many Assyrians started to flee present-day Turkey. Mar Shimon Benyamin had arranged for some 3,500 Assyrians to reside in the district of Khoi. Not long after settling in, Kurdish troops of the Ottoman Army massacred the population almost entirely. One of the few that survived was Reverend John Eshoo. After escaping, he stated: You have undoubtedly heard of the Assyrian massacre of Khoi, but I am certain you do not know the details." These Assyrians were assembled into one caravansary, and shot to death by guns and revolvers. Blood literally flowed in little streams, and the entire open space within the caravansary became a pool of crimson liquid. The place was too small to hold all the living victims waiting for execution. They were brought in groups, and each new group was compelled to stand over the heap of the still bleeding bodies and shot to death. The fearful place became literally a human slaughter house, receiving its speechless victims, in groups of ten and twenty at a time, for execution. At the same time, the Assyrians, who were residing in the suburb of the city, were brought together and driven into the spacious courtyard of a house [...] The Assyrian refugees were kept under guard for eight days, without anything to eat. At last they were removed from their place of confinement and taken to a spot prepared for their brutal killing. These helpless Assyrians marched like lambs to their slaughter, and they opened not their mouth, save by sayings "Lord, into thy hands we commit our spirits. [...] The executioners began by cutting first the fingers of their victims, join by joint, till the two hands were entirely amputated. Then they were stretched on the ground, after the manner of the animals that are slain in the Fast, but these with their faces turned upward, and their heads resting upon the stones or blocks of wood Then their throats were half cut, so as to prolong their torture of dying, and while struggling in the agony of death, the victims were kicked and clubbed by heavy poles the murderers carried Many of them, while still laboring under the pain of death, were thrown into ditches and buried before their souls had expired. The young men and the able-bodied men were separated from among the very young and the old. They were taken some distance from the city and used as targets by the shooters. They all fell, a few not mortally wounded. One of the leaders went to the heaps of the fallen and shouted aloud, swearing by the names of Islam's prophets that those who had not received mortal wounds should rise and depart, as they would not be harmed any more. A few, thus deceived, stood up, but only to fall this time killed by another volley from the guns of the murderers. Some of the younger and good looking women, together with a few little girls of attractive appearance, pleaded to be killed. Against their will were forced into Islam's harems. Others were subjected to such fiendish insults that I cannot possibly describe. Death, however, came to their rescue and saved them from the vile passions of the demons. The death toll of Assyrians totaled 2,770 men, women and children.

  16. Of the disputants and debaters, I am Vaada ( logic and reasoning) . ---Krishna ( Bhagavad Gita). <!-- / message -->
  17. Go through the books I have mentioned. You will get what you need. Jesus stated " I and my Father are one." This is similar to the Upanishadic teaching Aham Brahmasmi, meaning "I am He."
  18. Thanks for pointing this out. These pseudo-secularists are taking hindus for granted and trampling upon their rights and dignity. The hindus should protest against this non-violently and aggressively and curtail all these pseudo-secularism.
  19. Persecution of the Bahais by Islamic fundamentalists. Persecution of the Bahais (from the wikipedia) As the result of the Báb's execution in 1850 by a firing squad in Tabriz, an assassination attempt was instigated on the King of Persia, Nasser-al-Din Shah, two years later by a handful of angry Bábís. Although the assassins claimed they were working alone, the entire Bábí community was blamed, and a slaughter of several thousand Bábís followed. Many of the Bábís who were not killed, including Bahá'u'lláh, were imprisoned in the Síyáh-Chál (Black Pit), an underground dungeon of Tehran.[6] Bahá'u'lláh himself was found to be innocent of complicity in the assassination plot,[3] but remained in the Síyáh-Chál over four months.[7] An Austrian officer, Captain von Goumoens, working in the court of the Shah at the time, gave the following account after signing his resignation: "[i saw] ones who, with gouged-out eyes, must eat, on the scene of the deed, their own amputated ears; or whose teeth are torn out with inhuman violence by the hand of the executioner; or whose bare skulls are simply crushed by blows from a hammer..." "As for the end itself, they hang the scorched and perforated bodies by their hands and feet to a tree head downwards, and now every Persian may try his marksmanship to his heart’s content... When I read over again, what I have written, I am overcome by the thought that those who are with you in our dearly beloved Austria may doubt the full truth of the picture, and accuse me of exaggeration. Would to God that I had not lived to see it!... At present I never leave my house, in order not to meet with fresh scenes of horror... I will no longer maintain my connection with the scene of such crimes.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Bah%C3%A1'%C3%ADs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27u%27ll%C3%A1h
  20. By my earlier posts , I am not preaching hatred against any religion. However fundamentalism, dogmatism and fanaticism in all its forms anywhere ought to be despised and eradicated . And I hope my posts will help to achieve that . In this context , I wish to quote this teaching of Buddha... Believe nothing, merely because you have been told it, or because it is traditional or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for your teacher. But whatever after due consideration and analysis you find to be conducive to the good , the benefit, the welfare of all beings, that doctrine , believe and cling to and take it as your guide. - Buddha <!-- / message -->

  24. It is noteworthy that the Bible makes no mention of Jesus Christ between the ages of 18 to 30 . Jesus Christ lived in India between the ages of 18 to 30 . After crucifixion , he returned back to India where he lived in Kashmir till his death . This has been said by the Indian spiritual masters Paramahamsa Yogananda , Satya Sai Baba and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Jesus's teaching of chastity, non-violence, and renunciation were derived from Hinduism, Buddhism and Yoga. The proof for this can be obtained from the books 'Jesus lived in India', written by a team of Western scholars and archaeologists and ' Hinduism and Christianity' by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar( the founder of the Art of Living Foundation).
