dear friends,

just found something shocking worth sharing with u

all. read it below, the link is also given. the threat

of christian missionaries to hinduism is very real. in

50 years the christian population in india has gone up

from 1.5% to about 4%!! their activities in disguise

of education, health and magic cures and money lending

are going on endlessly, which many of u may be

knowing. the ongoing Pray for India rally is the

biggest gathering of christians in india in mumbai.

WSF, recently organised in mumbai, also preached

christianity in many places. lets not fall prey to

those fundamentalist missionaries. jai hind.

atul.

 

Pray, why this leap of faith?

NT Bureau

Chennai, Feb 4:

 

For long they have said Hindu Gods were devils

and any worship of Them is a heathen practice. Now

Christian zealots have outdone themselves by taking a

giant leap of faith and claiming that the various

Vedic Sanskrit slogans were in praise of Jesus and not

Hindu Gods.

 

Christian propaganda pamphlets and booklets in

circulation especially in and around Madurai district

also make the ludicrous suggestion that Swami

Vivekananda had asked the people to worship Jesus.

 

The pamphlets, which have been put in

circulation by the Madurai-based Infant Jesus Hospital

(headed by one Rev Fr. Caleb), also fraudulently

invoke Bhagawat Gita slogans saying that they preach

against idol worship.

 

The highly inflammatory but dubious pamphlets,

which the footsoldiers (primarily women) of Christian

expansionism have been delivering at doorstep after

doorstep in Southern districts, go as far as to decree

that 'people should not follow any other faith other

than Christianity'.

 

Just sample some of the 'interpretations' in

the pamphlets:

 

Om Sri Brahma Puthraya Nama reads as 'I

worship Jesus, who came to the world as God's son

(Yowan 3:16.17)'.

 

Om Shri Dakshina Murthaya Nama is translated

as 'I worship Jesus who is sitting on the thigh of his

father (Yowan (1:18)'.

 

Taking specific mantras from Sama Veda, the

Christian marketers say 'Om Sri Panchakaya Nama refers

to Jesus, the one with five wounds (panchakaya) Yowan

20:25.27. Om Sri Ummathiya Nama is translated as 'I

hail one born to the holy spirit' (Mathew 1:18).

 

Parajapathi is taken to be representing the

Christ and several quotes are given to suggest that

Hinduism had all along had been talking about the

'Holy Saviour'.

 

The pamphlets go the whole hog and reel out

several texts from the hoary Rig Veda, saying all of

them were meant for Christianity.

 

The mantra from Brihat Aranyako Upanishad

(Asathoma sadhgamaya, Tamasoma Jyothirgamaya...) is

laboriously expanded and explained to mean that Jesus

is leading as the light of the world. And the

'explanation' goes on to add: 'there is a word-to-word

answer in the bible to every prayer in the Upanishad'.

 

 

Bhagwat Gita is also not left alone. In a

seeming translation of a verse from Neethicharam, the

pamphlet says that 'those fools who worship statues

made up of stone, wood and metal would beget nothing

other than misery and would not be pardoned'.

 

Of course, this is plain duplicitous

misinterpretation. But they have not stopped with

that.

 

They go on to plain falsehoods.

 

The pamphlets invoke Swami Vivekananda and say

that he wanted hundreds and thousands of Christian

religious workers to come to India so that the

preaching of Jesus could go to the hearts of all Hindu

people.

 

Understandably the locals are highly offended

at the effrontery of the evangelists. Apart from the

farcical and facile reasonings in the hand-outs, the

locals say the fact they (evangelists) made bold to

deliver them in every household makes clear their

rabid fundamentalism.

 

The brazen approach of the Christian preachers

is a major talking point in the Southern districts for

quite some time. They brook at no niceties. Anything

goes for them. The ways are unimportant to them.

 

In going about their patently communal ways,

they have vitiated the general atmosphere in the

districts.

 

The prayers (real ones) of the peace-loving

people to the authorities have had no effect so far.
