Replies to abuses in Satyadarshini

September 22nd, 2008 | 504 Comments | Posted in Great Hindu

Several of the respondents in this website asked me to give a befitting reply to the abuse of Hindu Gods in the book “Satyadarshini”. So, I am  giving a Hindu response to the Christian abuse.

Abuse No. 1: Urvashi – the daughter of Narayana– is a prostitute.  Vashitha is the son of this prostitute.  He in turn married his own Mother.  Such a degraded person is the Guru of the Hindu God Rama. (page 48)

 Urvashi is not a prostitute.  She is a celestial nymph.  Secondly Vasistha was one of the Saptarishis (Seven Great Sages Rishi) in the seventh, i.e the present Manvantara,[1] and the Rajpurohit / Rajguru of the Suryavamsha or Solar Dynasty. He was the manasaputra of Brahma. He had in his possession the divine cow Kamadhenu, and Nandini her child, who could grant anything to their owners.

Vashisht is credited as the chief author of Mandala 7 of the Rigveda. Vashisht and his family are glorified in RV 7.33, extolling their role in the Battle of the Ten Kings, making him the only mortal besides Bhavayavya to have a Rigvedic hymn dedicated to him. Another immortal treatise dedicated by him to the humanity is “Vashisht Samhita” – a book on Vedic system of electional astrology (Muhurtha/ Muhurt)- based on which theory & principles of electional astrology have emanated & followed through millenniums & which have withstood test of the time.

 Abuse no. 2: When Krishna himself is wallowing in darkness of hell, how can he enlighten others?  Since  Krishna himself is a shady character, there is a need for us to  liberate his misled followers. (page 50)

Lord Krishna is considerd as an Avatar in Hindu pantheon.  He  is supposed to have lived around 5,200 years ago.  Accordingly, he is supposed to reincarnate whenever adharma increases.  There is no reference anywhere  which says that he is in  hell.  I wonder, what divine wisdom the missionaries have when they can see somebody wallowing in hell.

Abuse no. 3: t was Brahma himself who kidnapped Sita.  Since Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva were themselves the victims of lust, it is a sin to consider them as Gods. (page 39)

 First of all, Ramayana can be interpreted anyway you want.  In fact, the world is a divine illusion.  Secondly, creation needs lust.  Even the divine missionaries are a product  of lust. Everyone has doubts about immaculate conception.  I wonder how Jesus was born without pregnancy.  It is all fancy stuff.  Is it not?

Abuse No. 4: When the Trinity of Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) are consumed by lust and anger, how can they liberate others.  Their projection as Gods is nothing but a joke. (page 39).

Hinduism is not a single prophet/single book cult like Islam and Christianity.  There are 84 schools of thoughts in Hinduism – of  which even atheism is a part.  Then there are other concepts like duality, non-duality and achintabheda tattwa (where the soul is neither dual nor non-dual).  In Hinduism, worship and liberation is a personal affair.  Nobody has the right to interefere in other’s mode of worship.  There is something called as Vyakti Dharma.  It is highly personal.  No conversions and interference please.

Abuse No.5:  Vishnu asked Brahma to commit a sin, he immediately did so.  How can such a “evil brahma” be a Creator of this Universe?  How is it possible for both the sinner and the entity which provoked the sin to be gods?  (page 39)

 First of all, there is no sin and no sinner.  Sin is a Christian concept.  Majority of Hindus consider the universe as leela (divine play). Though there are other variations too, most  of the Hindus have pantheistic overtones.  They don’t differentiate between the creator and the creation.  Most of the Hindus are believers in oneness and pantheism.  Note, it is not monotheism of the zealous semitic Gods.

Abuse No. 6: God, please liberate the sinful people of India who are worshipping False Gods  that believe in the pleasures of  illicit ‘Vyabichari’ relationships. (Page 39).

 Swami Vivekananda described the people of India as children of immortality.  (Amritasya Putraha).  These are the lines from the Upanishads.  The soul is  not a sinner.  It is a spark of the universal divinity.  So there is no question of liberating sinners because sin does not exist in the first place.  As for the so called “Vyabichar”, it is simple logic to say that the world would stop without sex.  Sex is nothing but nature’s mechanism to ensure that individuals reproduce.  In fact, we have a deity for sex (Kamadeva or Cupid) in Hinduism.  Per se, sex  is natural.  However, Victorian sensibilities ensure that a lot of guilt is  associated with it.

    @Britto , Before Reciting Gayatri , We say “Asavaditya Brahma …..”  Do you know the meaning of this ? :) Ask your so called converted Brahmins . . We elevate ourselves to GOD. We don’t have to believe  the Jew  who had a horrible death  2000 years back .   How can you believe such a  Christian Concept of GOD.  He loves Me, He died for me , He died for me to Remove My SINS ??(Can A Believer Do any thing – Because the sins are already  forgiven? )  So I Need to believe him . OTHERWISE THE LOVING GOD WILL PUT ME IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER. (Oh god I am scared really).
    Britto , First try to save Christianity in Europe/USA – very few people believe in Dead Jew story and all the Fairy tales of OT.  We know about our god. watch this till the end ..

    I DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF ASAVADITYA BRAHMA PL LET ME KNOW THE MEANING IF YOU KNOW’  NO ONE CAN  ELEVATE HIMSELF TO GOD.IF SO, YOU NEED NOT WORSHIP ANY GOD!   SUCH A PERSON MIGHT  HAVE LOST HIS BALANCE .YOU HAVE NOT  RESPONDED TO MY CHALLANGE AT  PARA 496. OUR VEDAS SAYS GOD SHOULD SHED BLOOD FOR REMISSION OF SINS AFTER  TAKING AN  AVATAR. WHY YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE? THEN YOU ARE NOT BELEIVING YOUR OWN SCRIPTURES? YOU CAN WAKE UP A PERSON IF HE IS ACTUALLY SLEEPING BUT NOT A PERSON WHO PRETENDS  TO SLEEP ! EVEN IN HINDUISM DONT YOU BELIEVE IN HELL WHERE  YAMA ROASTS  SINNERS IN HELL AS PER THE REPORT OF CHITRAGUPTA ?

     MR. DEEPAK,
     WITH REF TO PARA 500, I DONT KNOW UNDER WHAT CONTEXT THE POPE SAID THOSE WORDS. I DONT BELIEVE IN POPES. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND SOME OF THEM WERE BAD. BUT JESUS IS A HISTORICALL PERSONALITY. YOU CANNOT DENY THIS . HUMAN HISTORY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN AD AND BC. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HIM ONLY WHEN YOU REALLY WANTS TO  KNOW THE TRUTH. OUR VEDAS  PROCLAIM HIM AS PRAJAPATHI WHO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR THE REDEMPTION OF MANKIND.HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT WHY THESE CHRISTIANS ARE SO INTERSTED IN PROPAGATING THIS TRUTH UNLIKE OTHERS? BECAUSE THEY KNOW HIM TO BE TRUE LIVING GOD. EVEN HIS DISCIPILES WHO RAN AWAY AFTER HIS CRUCIFIXION, RENOUNCED THEIR FAMILIES AND WENT AROUND THE WORLD TO PREACH GOSPEL AND DIED AS MARTYRS EXCEPT ONE. THEN WHAT CHANGED THEM? PL THINK IT OVER

    Each post I have read is well written and to the point. I would also like to state, not only are the articles well written, but the design of your web-site is excellent. I was able to navigate from post to post and find what I was looking for with ease. Keep up the excellent work you are doing, and I will return many times in the future.
