हिन्दू" शब्द की उत्पत्ति

"हिन्दू" शब्द की उत्पत्ति :-
-----------------------------
अफ़ग़ानिस्तान स्थित हिन्दूकुश पर्वत से हिन्द महासागर तक की भूमि को "हिन्दुओं का स्थान" अर्थात "हिन्दुस्तान" कहा गया है । "हिन्दू" शब्द भारतीय विद्वानों के अनुसार 5000 वर्ष से भी पुराना है। प्रमाण देखिये :-
1) इस्लाम के पिगअम्बर के जन्म से भी 1700 वर्ष पुर्व 'लबि बिन अख्ताब बिन तुर्फा' नाम के एक कवि अरब में पैदा हुए। उन्होंने अपने एक ग्रन्थ में लिखा है :-
"अया मुबार्केल अरज यू शैये नोहा मिलन हिन्दे। व अरादाक्ल्लाह मन्योंज्जेल जिकर्तुं॥
अर्थात हे हिंद कि पुन्य भूमि ! तू धन्य है,क्योंकि ईश्वर ने अपने ज्ञान के लिए तुझे चुना है।
2) शब्द कल्पद्रुम : जो कि लगभग दूसरी शताब्दी में रचित है ,में मन्त्र- 
"हीनं दुष्यति इतिहिंदू जाती विशेष:"
अर्थात हीन कर्म का त्याग करने वाले को हिंदू कहते है।
3) इसी प्रकार "अदभुत कोष" में मन्त्र है :- 
"हिंदू: हिन्दुश्च प्रसिद्धौ दुशतानाम च विघर्षने"।
अर्थात हिंदू और हिंदु दोनों शब्द दुष्टों को नष्ट करने वाले अर्थ में प्रसिद्द है।
4) वृद्ध स्म्रति (छठी शताब्दी)में मन्त्र :- 
"हिंसया दूयते यश्च सदाचरण तत्पर:। वेद्.........हिंदु मुख शब्द भाक्। "
अर्थात जो सदाचारी वैदिक मार्ग पर चलने वाला, हिंसा से दुख मानने वाला है, वह हिंदु है।
5) ब्रहस्पति आगम (समय ज्ञात नही) में श्लोक है :- 
"हिमालय समारभ्य यवाद इंदु सरोवं।तं देव निर्वितं देशम हिंदुस्थानम प्रच्क्षेत ।
अर्थात हिमालय पर्वत से लेकर इंदु(हिंद) महासागर तक देव पुरुषों द्बारा निर्मित इस क्षेत्र को हिन्दुस्थान कहते है।
6) पारसी समाज के एक अत्यन्त प्राचीन अवेस्ता ग्रन्थ में लिखा है कि,
"अक्नुम बिरह्मने व्यास नाम आज हिंद आमद बस दाना कि काल चुना नस्त"।
अर्थात व्यास नमक एक ब्राह्मण हिंद से आया जिसके बराबर कोई बुध्दिमान नही था।
7) उरूल उकुल काव्य संग्रह के पृष्ठ 235 पर उमर बिन हश्शाम लिखते है,
"व सहबी के याम फिम कामिल हिन्दे मौमन यकुलून न लाजह जन फइन्नक तवज्जरू" !
अर्थात-हे प्रभो,मेरा संपुर्ण जीवन आप ले लो परंतु,एकही दिन क्यों न हो मुझे हिन्दुस्थान में अधिवास मिलने दो। क्योकि,वहां पहुंचकर ही मनुष्य को मोक्ष की प्राप्ती हो सकती है।
8) 10 वीं शताब्दी के महाकवि वेन .....अटल नगर अजमेर,अटल हिंदव अस्थानं । महाकवि चन्द्र बरदाई :- 
जब हिंदू दल जोर छुए छूती मेरे धार भ्रम ।
ऐसे हजारो तथ्य चीख-चीख कर कहते है की हिंदू शब्द हजारों-हजारों वर्ष पुराना है। इन हजारों तथ्यों के अलावा भी लाखों तथ्य इस्लाम के लूटेरों ने तक्षशिला व नालंदा जैसे विश्वविद्यालयों को नष्ट करके समाप्त कर दिए है।
ऐसे मे जिसका जन्मस्थान हिन्दुस्तान है, वही अपनी मातृभूमि की जय बोलेगा न की गज़नी-बाबर-तैमूर-टीपू के बलात्कार से पैदा हुए नाजायज औलादें -- भारत माता की जय --- वन्दे मातरम् _

हिन्दू समाज अपने इतिहास के प्रति ही नकारात्मक

हिन्दू समाज अपने इतिहास के प्रति ही नकारात्मक
हो गया है। जिस को देखो वो 800 साल या 1300 साल
की गुलामी की बात करता है।
लोग अपने इतिहास से इतने अनभिज्ञ है की भले
ही उनके पूर्वज गुलाम न रहे हो लेकिन वो खुद
मानसिक रूप से गुलाम हो गए है। ये मानसिक
गुलामी 800 साल या 1300 साल
नही बल्कि 60 साल
पुरानी ही हैँ।
भारत अगर 800 या 1300 साल ग़ुलाम रहता तो आज देश में
हिन्दुओ का नामो निशान ना होता। लेकिन दुर्भाग्य है
की औपनिवेशिक और वामपंथी इतिहास पढ़
पढ़ के हमारी मानसिकता अपने
ही पूर्वजो के गौरवशाली संघर्ष को अपमानित
करने की हो गई हैँ।
दुनिया की किसी और सभ्यता ने इस्लाम
का इतनी सफलतापूर्वक
सामना नही किया जैसा हमने किया है।
भारत में इस्लाम के आगमन के 1100 वर्ष के बाद
भी 1800ई में भारतीय उपमहाद्विप में
मुसलमानों की संख्या 15% से भी कम
थी, बटवारे के समय यह 25% तक पहुँच गई
थी जो आज 40% से ऊपर है। साफ़ है भारत में
मुस्लिम जनसँख्या के बढ़ने का कारण धर्म परिवर्तन से
ज्यादा उनकी जन्म दर है। बहरहाल, हमें
हमेशा 800 साल या 1300
की ग़ुलामी का पाठ जो अँगरेज़ हमे पढ़ा गये,
हम उसे ही पढ़े जा रहे है और इसमें वामपंथियो और
AMU वालोँ ने ये और जोड़ दिया की भारत में इस्लाम के
आगमन से ही आर्थिक, सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, वैज्ञानिक
क्रांति हुई, उससे पहले भारत में घोर अंधकार युग था।
हमारी पाठ्य पुस्तकों में
7वीं शताब्दी में सिंध पर अरबो का आक्रमण
और हिंदुओं की हार पढ़ाया जाता है,फिर
सीधे 12वीं शताब्दी में
तुर्को की जीत। बीच में ये जरूर
बता दिया जाता है की इस काल में बहुत सारे राजपूत
राज्य थे जो आपस में लड़ते रहते थे। लेकिन ये
नहीँ बताया जाता की स्पेन तक विजय करने
वाले अरब 7वीं शताब्दी में सिंध में आकर
आगे क्यों नही बढ़ पाए? सिंध में पहली बार
मुसलमानों के आक्रमण के बाद उन्हें 500 साल क्यों लग गए
दिल्ली तक पहुँचने में? अनगिनत बार
राजपूतों द्वारा अरबो और तुर्को की पराजय के बारे में
नही बताया जाता। हां महमूद ग़जनी के
आक्रमणों की चर्चा जरूर होती है लेकिन
उनकी नही जिसमे उसकी हार
हो।
फिर 1204 से 1526 के युग को भारत में सल्तनत युग बता कर
पढ़ाया जाता है जबकि इस काल में इस सल्तनत का वास्तविक शाशन
दिल्ली से 100 कोस तक ही था और इस
100 कोस की सल्तनत का इतिहास
ही भारत का इतिहास बन जाता है। इस दौरान अनेक छोटे
छोटे राज्य स्थापित हुए। लेकिन उनके बारे में बहुत कम
बताया जाता है। उस काल में उत्तर भारत में हिंदुओं का सबसे
बड़ा राज्य मेवाड़ था। उसके बारे में पहला उल्लेख मिलता है जब
ख़िलजी के हाथो मेवाड़ का विध्वंस होता है, उसके बाद
सीधे 1526 में अचानक से राणा सांगा पैदा हो जाते हैँ,
जो दिल्ली की मुस्लिम
सत्ता को चुनौती दे रहे होते हैं। ये मेवाड़
जिसका विध्वंस हो गया था ये इतना ताकतवर कब हो गया?
मालवा और ग्वालियर में इतने ताकतवर हिन्दू राज्य कब और कैसे बन
गए? मारवाड़ और आमेर का उतथान कब हुआ? कितने अनगिनत
युद्धों में राजपूतो ने मुस्लिम शाशकों को हराया,
13वीं सदी के setback के बाद
14वीं-15वीं सदी में कितने
संघर्षो के बाद उत्तर और दक्षिण भारत में सफलतापूर्वक हिन्दू
राज्य बनाए गए, इनके बारे में
कहीँ नही बताया जाता। हम लोगो को सिर्फ
हमारी हार पढाई जाती है।
ना हमारी उससे ज्यादा मिली हुई
जीत के बारे में बताया जाता और ना हमारे सफल संघर्ष के
बारे में।
जागो हिन्दू जागो।

क्या है हिन्दू होने का मतलब

 
ॐ..🙏..चिंतन...
हिन्दू की परिभाषा

क्या है हिन्दू होने का मतलब , माथे पर तिलक लगाना ,हाँथ में सूता बंधना ,ढोगी बाबाओं से आशीर्वाद लेना, मंदिर जाना , जातिवाद का ढोंग फैलाना , अपनी संस्कृति को छोड़ कर पाश्चात्य संस्कृति का अंधानुकरण करना क्या यही है हिंदुत्व ?

हिंदू शब्द कि उत्पति का इतिहास “ सिंधु ” नदी के नाम से जुड़ा हुआ है | प्राचीन काल में सिंधु नदी के पार के वासियों को इरान वासी हिंदू कहतें थें | वे “स” का उच्चारण “ह” करते थे | “हिंदू” शब्द के जुड़ने के पहले यह धर्म “सनातन” धर्म कहलाता था | “सनातन” मतलब शाश्वत या हमेशा बने रहने वाला होता है |
हिंदू कि परिभाषा क्या कि जाए , मेरे हिसाब से जिस धर्म के अनुआयी “ब्रह्म” को जानतें हों हिंदू कहलाने के योग्य हैं | “ब्रह्म” यानी जहाँ तक अपनी कल्पना न जाए सिर्फ अनुभव हीं शेष रह जाए | पूर्ण शून्यता का अनुभव | “ब्रह्म ज्ञान ” अर्थात अपने अहंकार को विस्तृत कर देना यानी परमात्मा में विसर्जित कर देना या यूँ कहें अपने अहंकार को समाप्त कर देना , अपने होने के आस्तित्व को भूला देना | “ब्रह्म” शब्द को परिभाषित नहीं किया जा सकता क्यों? क्योंकि इसके अंदर कल्पना का जगत तो आ हीं जाता है कल्पनातीत जगत भी आ जाता है | ब्रह्म ज्ञान जैसा दुर्लभ ज्ञान अन्य किसी धर्म में नहीं |

प्रेम है जिसका स्वभाव वह है हिन्दू जितने भी सच्चे “ब्रह्म” ज्ञानी हुएं सबने प्रेम को महता दी है और सबने एक सुर में प्रेम को हीं परमात्मा के मार्ग में प्रथम सोपान बतलाया है | “ब्रह्म” को जानने वालों का कहना है “ब्रह्म” ज्ञानी मनुष्य पृथ्वी पर मौजूद सभी जीवों से एकात्म मह्शूश करता है यानी सभी जीवों को अपना अंग समझता है , अपने से भिन्न नहीं समझता पेड पौधें सभी से जुडाव मह्शूश करता है | सबसे एकात्म मह्शूश करने वाला किसी को अपने से अलग न मानने वाला मनुष्य सबसे प्रेम न करेगा भला | प्रेम के कारण था भारत कभी विश्व गुरु अरे कुछ तो बात हो भारत के हिन्दूओं में ताकि विश्व के कोने कोने में बसे लोग यहाँ के हिन्दूओं के प्रेम से खींचे चलें आये और इनकी प्रेम गाथा पुरे विश्व में प्रसिद्ध हो | और प्रेम हीं ऐसा मंत्र है जिसकी बदौलत भारत फिर से एक बार सदा के लिए विश्व गुरु बन सकता है | प्राचीन काल में भारत विश्व गुरु क्यों था ? सम्पूर्ण विश्व के लोग यहाँ के ज्ञान के कारण यहाँ खींचे चले आते थें | प्राचीन काल में शिक्षा का सर्वोच्च केन्द्र “तक्षशिला ” ,“नालंदा” , “विक्रमशिला ” विश्वविद्यालय भारत में थें | कौन सा ज्ञान दिया जाता था यहाँ “तत्व ज्ञान ”या कहें “ब्रह्म ज्ञान” | ब्रह्म ज्ञानी कौन जिसके नस नस में प्रेम दौड़े |

ऐसा नहीं कि सिर्फ प्रेम के कारण विश्व गुरु था यह देश बल्कि एक से बढ़ कर वैज्ञानिक भी थे प्राचीन काल में | चौंकिए नहीं भारतीय ऋषि , मुनि, मनीषी क्या थे | एक से बढ़ कर एक विद्याओं के धनी थे ये लोग | आयुर्वेद ,सर्जन चिकित्सा ,रस सिद्धांत विज्ञान, सूर्य विज्ञान ,कुण्डलिनी विज्ञान, गणित का ज्ञान (शून्य का आविष्कार), पातंजली का योग सूत्र और न जाने क्या क्या | क्या नहीं है हमारे पास हमारे वेदों उपनिषदों पुराणों में | आज भी विदेश से लोग दुर्लभ ज्ञान के तलाश में भारत खिंचे चले आतें हैं | किन्तु रसातल में जा रहा है यह सब अपनी विद्याओं अपनी संस्कृति का इज्जत नहीं है दिल में पाश्चात्य संस्कृति के पीछे भागम भाग मचा हुआ है और छाती ठोंक कर कहेंगे कि हम हिंदू हैं |

हिंदुत्व प्रसिद्ध है अपनी संस्कृति ,अपने त्यौहार ,अपने संस्कारों, अपने शुद्धतम खान पान, अपने आदर्श परिवारवाद ,अपने सर्वोच्च नैतिकता के लिए | किन्तु दुखद अब इनका ह्रास होता जा रहा है | पारिवारिक रिश्तों के लिए यह धर्म मिशाल था | पिता पुत्र का धर्म , माता पिता के लिए पुत्र का उतरदायी होना , भाई भाई का प्रेम , इस धर्म कि खासीयत थी | “अतिथि देवो भव: ” आदर्श वाक्य हुआ करता था कभी भारत में | हमें अपनी संस्कृति को पुन: स्थापित करना होगा अन्यथा पूरा मनुष्य जाती एक दुर्लभ और अति मूल्यवान धरोहर से वंचित रह जायेगी |

मैं सेक्युलर नहीं हूँ । मैं हिन्दू हूँ ! मेरा धर्म ही मुझे सिखाता है की.. निर्दोष चींटी को ना मारो पेड़ ना काटो सभी धर्मो का आदर अवं सम्मान करो दृष्टो के साथ कभी न रहो बल्कि देश,धर्म और अपनी सभ्यता संस्कृति के लिए अन्याय एंव दृष्टो के सामने जंग करो लोगो का कल्याण करो नदी,पर्वत,वृक्षसब इस प्रकृति हिस्सा है इसका सम्मान करो अगर मैं धर्म निरपेक्ष हो गई तो ये सब भूल जाउंगी जो मुझे मेरे धर्म ने सिखाया है मैं धर्म निरपेक्ष बन गई तो असत्य का साथ लुंगी निर्दोष लोगो को मरने लगूंगी और में हेवान बन जाउंगी प्राणी आदिओ का सहार करके प्रकृति ख़त्म कर दूंगी तो मैं धर्म निरपेक्ष नहीं हूँ .,
मैं हिन्दू हूँ।।...

SANATAN VEDIC SCIENCE OF DHARMA &BHARAT

बुद्ध से पहल कोई बुद्धिस्ट नहीं था ।
जीसस से पहले कोई ईसाई नहीं था ।
मुहम्मद से पहले कोई मुसलमान नहीं था ।
महावीर से पहले कोई जैनी नहीं था ।
नानक से पहले कोई सिक्ख नहीं था ।
लेकिन
कृष्ण से पहले ,
राम से पहले ,
हरिशचन्द्र से पहले,
वशिष्ट से पहले,
गौतम, कपिल, कणाद,भरद्वाज, विश्वामित्र,अत्री, द्रोण आदि से भी पहले
सब सनातन वैदिक धर्मी थे |
क्योंकि धर्म किसी व्यक्ति विशेष के द्वारा आरम्भ नहीं होता वो तो ईश्वर के द्वारा सीधा ही वेद के द्वारा मानव मात्र को समान रूप से संविधान दिया गया है ।
व्यक्ति विशेष के द्वारा तो केवल मत, पंथ,सम्प्रदाय, मज़हब,रिलिजन आदि चला करते हैं ।
इसलिये अपने सनातनी हिन्दू होने पर गर्व करें.

BRAVE 20 HINDU KINGS SAVED INDIA FROM ISLAMIST

India would have been another Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, and North America, where people were converted to either Muslims ,if not were slaughtered. In North America, Columbus open doors for Christian Missionary and killed many originals called Red Indians. What is difference between Christian and Islamist is that they are both Abraham cult  , brothers and their work is conversion and looting as was done in past and are being done now. Future is not bright as this Kalyug will see many more like what started.Longest war in history was 800 years of Islamist rule come to end by MARATHAS- SRI SHIVAJI and few Rajput Kings.

HINDU RESISTANCE AGAINST TERRORIST MOHAMMAD'S ARMY'S CONVERSION JIHAD

Photo: Within 77 years of death of its prophet in AD 632.  Palestine and Syria fell to ISLAM after a six months campaign in AD 636-637. Next came the turn of the Sassanid empire of Persia which included Iraq, Iran, and Khorasan. The Persians were defeated decisively in AD 637, and their entire empire was overrun in the next few years. The Turkish speaking territories of Inner Mongolia, Bukhara, Tashkand, and Samarkand, etc. were annexed by AD 650. Meanwhile, in the west, Egypt had fallen in AD 640-641. The Arab armies marched over North Africa till they reached the Atlantic and crossed over into Spain in AD 709. 
These were not mere territorial conquests.. Syrians, Persians, Berbers, Turks and others - all were rapidly Islamised and their language and culture Arabicised. All this was in accordance of the  passage of the Quran which had inspired the Arabs to decimate and denationalise those who were defeated by them: Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem till they repeat and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity. 
The same Islamic armies, however, had to struggle for 69 long years to make their first effective breach in the borders of India. In the next three centuries, they pushed forward in several provinces of Northern and Western India. But at the end of it all, India was far from being conquered militarily or assimilated culturally. The Arab invasion of India ended in a more or less total failure.

Next came the turn of the Sassanid empire of Persia which included Iraq, Iran, and Khorasan. The Persians were defeated decisively in AD 637, and their entire empire was overrun in the next few years. The Turkish speaking territories of Inner Mongolia, Bukhara, Tashkand, and Samarkand, etc. were annexed by AD 650. Meanwhile, in the west, Egypt had fallen in AD 640-641. The Arab armies marched over North Africa till they reached the Atlantic and crossed over into Spain in AD 709. 

These were not mere territorial conquests.. Syrians, Persians, Berbers, Turks and others - all were rapidly Islamised and their language and culture Arabicised. All this was in accordance of the passage of the Quran which had inspired the Arabs to decimate and denationalise those who were defeated by them: Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem till they repeat and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity.
The same Islamic armies, however, had to struggle for 69 long years to make their first effective breach in the borders of India. In the next three centuries, they pushed forward in several provinces of Northern and Western India. But at the end of it all, India was far from being conquered militarily or assimilated culturally. The Arab invasion of India ended in a more or less total failure.

HOW SIKHS SAVED HINDUISM FROM ISLAMISATION- GURU TEGBAHADUR JI

------ Sikh women Martyrs of Punjab (1752) -----
March 6, 1752 A.D., Muin-ul-Malk, Governor of Lahore (now Pakistan), also known as Mir Mannu; ordered the capture of Sikhs in his district & had the men-folk beheaded publicly. Their wives, women and children were taken captives & imprisoned in the Lahore jail. Starving women were forced to operate heavy wheat grindstones and were given the option of conversion to Islam or suffer physical atrocities. They unanimously chose to remain steadfast to their faith in the face of certain death, upon which the Muslim guards gruesomely massacred over 300 infants and children, IMPALING them on spears. Chopping their limbs, bodies of babies were RIPPED open to take out Internal Organs which were then garlanded around their mothers necks. One by one many Sikh women suffered brutal atrocities but they all chose to remain steadfast to their Sikh faith instead of enjoying freedom by embracing Islam. Surviving Sikh women were rescued later on after the death of Mir Mannu on November 4, 1753.
This incident is even recorded by Muslim chroniclers of that time, Nur Ahmad Chishti recorded that Mir Mannu “killed thousands of Sikhs” daily. Once, on the day of Muslim festival, he beheaded 1100 Sikhs” in public. Could anything be more painful for Sikh women than to watch and witness the gruesome butchery of their own sons and husbands? These women maintained strong conviction in their Sikh faith in the face of extreme atrocites. In those days Sikhs were persecuted because they were considered infidels by Muslims & today Sikhs become victims in the United States because they are confused with Muslims. Its my hope that readers will share & help clear this confusion.

IMPORTANT POINT : It is evident from history of Islamic persecution of infidels be they are Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians that Islam is totalitarian & devout Muslims who follow the teachings of Mohammed to slaughter infidels in Quran will strive hard to dominate Islam on the rest of the world. When Muslims hold postcards in protests saying "we will kill infidels & we will take your women as war booty"! They really mean it! Muslims by the essence of Islam are brainwashed into beasts & have lost any bit of love for their fellow humanity because by considering a criminal man like Muhammad to be their "perfect man & the final prophet of allah" has distorted their moral compass of right & wrong. In Islam, the definition of good and bad does not correspond with doing righteous & wrong. In Islam, good action is when Muslim follows the example of Muhammad, bad action is when a follower strays from imitating Muhammad. Muslims from very early age are taught to follow & respect Muhammad without studying his biography. Due to this childhood brainwashing Muslims see everything from Muhammads' point of view... and Muhammad points of view is : "believe in me as your prophet, or be called a infidel and be slaughtered". The agenda of Islam is world domination. It is high time we infidels declare Islam as what Islam really is! Just as the allies could not have won a war against Germany, had they not declared nazism as evil; we cannot win war against Islam if we continue to consider Islam just another color in the rainbow of religions.

PS : Some people have asked why didn't these women convert for a moment, be released & then convert back?
- We humans are social animals. Its called Pack mentality... Muslims love it. Muslims strength of faith depends a lot on the "numbers of Muslims". We often see how Muslims say "oh Mr. famous converted to Islam, so Islam must be true", "Islam is the fastest growing religion, so it must be famous". Once anybody converts, they will shout out loud as if when someone converts gives credibility to the tenets of Islam. If these women had converted even for a moment, an example would have been set; and a lot more people would not have stood up to fight against islam. The on going Sikh resistance was to show strong resistance at all costs to stand up against Islamic oppression. This is why these brave women are remembered even after 300 years.
Secondly, we know today that the ancestors of present day Pakistani's converted to Islam to save their necks, but practiced their ancient religions in the privacy of their homes. In a few generations they started to relate more with "Pan-islamic Muslim pride" & eventually they became more Islamized & even started hating their ancient religion. Today Pakistani's are largest producers of Islamic terrorism.
These brave women sacrificed their babies & set a great example in Sikh history. It is because of this heroic Sacrifice, that a large section of people supported the Sikhs in their cause, and taking inspiration from these brave women & other Sikh martyrdom stories, many more people joined the Sikh religion & did not accept forced conversions and fiercely fought against Islamic oppression. The result was that within the next 50 years, Sikhs who were less than 1% in Punjab, not only destroyed & took over the Islamic empire in Punjab, but also ruled over that region which was majority Muslim (something unparalleled in history till date). Sikhs are the reason, that removed the spell of Islam from all over North India. The Bravery of these women & all other Sikh martyrs definitely proves that bravery is contagious human mentality just as weakness.

Q. DOES SANATANA DHARMA HINDUS ACCEPT PEOPLE TO CONVERT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS ?

A. YES IT DOES ... IT HAS CONVERTED THE "HUNA" KING MIKHIRAKULA .....TO HINDUISM ...!!! 

Mihirakula (Chinese: 大族王) was one of the most important Hephthalite emperors, whose empire was in the present-day territories of Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern and central India. Mihirakula was a son of Toramana who was a tegin of the Indian part of the Hephthalite Empire. Mihirakula ruled his empire from 515 to 530.

The Hephthalites (or Ephthalites), also known as the White Huns, were a nomadic confederation in Central Asia during the late antiquity period. The Hephthalite Empire, at the height of its power (in the first half of the 6th century), was located in the territories of present-day Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, India and China. The stronghold of the Hephthalite power was Tokharistan on the northern slopes of the Hindu Kush mountains, present-day northeastern Afghanistan.Q.

इटली - वहाँ का संविधान कहता है कि "कैथोलिक मत के ईसाई तत्‍व ही सार्वजनिक शिक्षा की नींव और शिखर दोनों है" शिक्षकों और उपदेशकों को चर्च अधिकारियों की सम्‍मति लेनी पड़ती है, अन्‍यथा वे पद से बर्खास्‍त कर दिये जाते है।

पुर्तगाल- शि...क्षा चर्च के अधिकारियो की सम्‍मति से ही होनी अनिवार्य है।
कोलम्बिया - कैथोलिक मत के अतिरिक्त किसी भी अन्‍य को अपने पूजा घर से बाहर प्रचार की अनिमति नही है।

एक प्रश्‍न
आखिर क्‍यों जब भारत मे हिन्‍दू विधि विधान से नैतिक शिक्षा, योग शिक्षा, दीप प्रज्ज्‍वल, सरसवती वंदना अथवा वंदेमातरम् आदि से सेकुलर छवि कैसे भ्रष्‍ट हो जाती है?

Though I live in India since long, there are still some points that I find hard to understand – for example why many educated Indians become agitated when India is considered as a Hindu country. The majority of Indians are Hindus. India is special because of its ancient Hindu tradition. Westerners are drawn to India because of it. Why then is there this resistance by many Indians to acknowledge the Hindu roots of their country?

This attitude is strange for two reasons. First, those educated Indians seem to have a problem only with ‘Hindu’ India, but not with ‘Muslim’ or ‘Christian’ countries. In Germany for example, only 59 percent of the population are registered with the two big Christian Churches (Protestant and Catholic), however, the country is bracketed under ‘Christian countries’. Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, stressed recently the Christian roots of Germany and urged the population ‘to go back to Christian values’. In 2012, she postponed her trip to the G-8 summit for a day to address the German Catholic Day. Two major political parties carry ‘Christian’ in their name, including Angela Merkel’s ruling party.

Germans are not agitated that Germany is called a Christian country, though I actually would understand if they were. After all, the history of the Church is appalling. The so called success story of Christianity depended greatly on tyranny. “Convert or die”, were the options given not only to the indigenous population in America some five hundred years ago. In Germany, too, 1200 years ago, the emperor Karl the Great ordered the death sentence for refusal of baptism in his newly conquered realms. It provoked his advisor Alkuin to comment: ‘One can force them to baptism, but how to force them to believe?’

Those times, when one’s life was in danger if one dissented with the dogmas of the Church, are thankfully over. And nowadays many in the west do dissent and leave the Church in a steady stream – partly because they are disgusted with the less than holy behavior of Church officials and partly because they can’t believe in the dogmas, for example that ‘Jesus is the only way’ and that God sends all those who don’t accept this to hell.

And here comes the second reason why the resistance to associate India with Hinduism by Indians is difficult to understand. Hinduism is in a different category from the Abrahamic religions. Its history, compared to Christianity and Islam was undoubtedly the least violent as it spread in ancient times by convincing arguments and not by force. It is not a belief system that demands blind belief in dogmas and the suspension of one’s intelligence. On the contrary, Hinduism encourages using one’s intelligence to the hilt. It is an enquiry into truth, based on a refined (methods are given) character and intellect. It comprises a huge body of ancient literature, not only regarding Dharma and philosophy, but also regarding music, architecture, dance, science, astronomy, economics, politics, etc. If Germany or any other western country had this kind of literary treasure, it would be so proud and highlight its greatness on every occasion. When I discovered for example the Upanishads, I was stunned. Here was expressed in clear terms what I intuitively had felt to be true, but could not have expressed clearly. Brahman is not partial; it is the invisible, indivisible essence in everything. Everyone gets again and again a chance to discover the ultimate truth and is free to choose his way back to it. Helpful hints are given but not imposed.

In my early days in India, I thought that every Indian knew and valued his tradition. Slowly I realized that I was wrong. The British colonial masters had been successful in not only weaning away many of the elite from their ancient tradition but even making them despise it. It helped that the ‘educated’ class could no longer read the original Sanskrit texts and believed what the British told them. This lack of knowledge and the brainwashing by the British education may be the reason why many ‘modern’ Indians are against anything ‘Hindu’. They don’t realize the difference between western religions that have to be believed (or at least professed) blindly, and which discourage if not forbid their adherents to think on their own and the multi-layered Hindu Dharma which gives freedom and encourages using one’s intelligence.

Many of the educated class do not realize that on one hand, westerners, especially those who dream to impose their own religion on this vast country, will applaud them for denigrating Hindu Dharma, because this helps western universalism to spread in India. On the other hand, many westerners, including Church people, very well know the value and surreptitiously appropriate insights from the vast Indian knowledge system, drop the original source and present it either as their own or make it look as if these insights had been known in the west.

Rajiv Malhotra of Infinity Foundation has done painstaking research in this field and has documented many cases of “digestion” of Dharma civilization into western universalism. He chose the term digestion, as it implies that that which is being digested (a deer for example) is in the end no longer there, whereas the ‘digester’ (a tiger) becomes stronger. Similarly, Hindu civilization is gradually being depleted of its valuable, exclusive assets and what is left is called inferior.

If only missionaries denigrated Hindu Dharma, it would not be so bad, as they clearly have an agenda which discerning Indians would detect. But sadly, Indians with Hindu names assist them because they wrongly believe that Hinduism is inferior to western religions. They belittle everything Hindu instead of getting thorough knowledge. As a rule, they know little about their tradition except what the British told them, i.e. that the major features are caste system and idol worship. They don’t realize that India would gain, not lose, if it solidly backed its profound and all inclusive Hindu tradition. The Dalai Lama said some time ago that already as a youth in Lhasa, he had been deeply impressed by the richness of Indian thought. “India has great potential to help the world,” he added. When will the westernized Indian elite realize it?
