Savegry of Columbus

Savegry of Columbus
----------------------
As the Spaniards went with their war dogs hunting down Indian men and women, it happened that a sick Indian woman who could not escape from the dogs, sought to avoid being torn apart by them, in this fashion: she took a cord and tied her year-old child to her leg, and then she hanged herself from a beam. But the dogs came and tore the child apart; before the creature expired, however, a friar baptized it.

Armed with the latest weaponry and armoured mastiffs trained to rip people apart, the Spanish tortured, maimed, raped, slaughtered, and burned the inhabitants in search of gold. Bartolomé de Las Casas, an eyewitness who eventually became a Dominican friar and fought for the Indians’ rights.

It was an orgy of looting and butchery, faithfully recorded by eyewitnesses. The accounts are too graphic to quote, but they detail the widespread massacres, including of children, dashing out their brains, and even feeding them to the armoured attack dogs. This senseless savagery was described as “pacification”.

When Americans think of Columbus Day, they think about the celebration of a man who sailed the ocean blue in 1492. They think he was courageous, inspirational, and extremely influential to our beginnings here in the Western World. However, Americans like to focus on the good things and ignore the bad things. What he and his fellow Spaniards did to the natives of the West Indies, including depopulating, destroying, and suppressing the peoples, is largely forgotten to this day. Furthermore, the counts of Spanish tyranny and conquest were largely ignored by the rulers of the kingdoms from which these explorers hailed from.For these reasons, the publishing of The Destruction of the Indies by Bartolomé de Las Casas was extremely important to revealing the truth about the events of the colonizers in the West Indies.

Kaliyug prediction

Symptoms of kaliyug:
In the last canto of the Bhagavata Purana there is a list of predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the present age of Kali Yuga. The following 15 predictions, written 5,000 years ago by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing because they appear so accurate. Despite the negative tone of these prophecies, there is still one bright spot for all of us, which is mentioned at the end.
Prediction 1:
Religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day because of the powerful influence of the age of Kali.

SYNONYMS
ksiyamanesu—having become smaller; dehesu—the bodies; dehinam—of all living entities; kali-dosatah—by the contamination of the age of Kali; varna-asrama-vatam—of the members of varnasrama society; dharme—when their religious principles; naste—have been destroyed; veda-pathe—the path of the Vedas; nrnam—for all men; pasanda-pracure—mostly atheism; dharme—religion; dasyu-prayesu—mostly thieves; rajasu—the kings; caurya—banditry; anrta—lying; vrtha-himsa—useless slaughter; nana—various; vrttisu—their occupations; vai—indeed; nrsu—when men; sudra-prayesu—mostly low-class sudras; varnesu—the so-called social orders; chaga-prayasu—no better than goats; dhenusu—the cows; grha-prayesu—just like materialistic homes; asramesu—the spiritual hermitages; yauna-prayesu—extending no further than marriage; bandhusu—family ties; anu-prayasu—mostly very small; osadhisu—plants and herbs; sami-prayesu—just like sami trees; sthasnusu—all the trees; vidyut-prayesu—always manifesting lightning; meghesu—the clouds; sunya-prayesu—devoid of religious life; sadmasu—the homes; ittham—thus; kalau—when the age of Kali; gata-praye—is almost finished; janesu—the people; khara-dharmisu—when they have assumed the characteristics of asses; dharma-tranaya—for the deliverance of religion; sattvena—in the pure mode of goodness; bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; avatarisyati—will descend.
TRANSLATION
By the time the age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varnasrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of sudras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from mundane houses, and family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage. Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like dwarf sami trees. Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of piety, and all human beings will have become like asses. At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal religion.
PURPORT
Significantly, these verses point out that most so-called religions in this age will be atheistic (pasanda-pracure dharme). In confirmation of the Bhagavatam’s prediction, the United States Supreme Court has recently ruled that to be considered a religion a system of belief need not recognize a supreme being. Also, many atheistic, voidistic belief systems, often imported from the Orient, have attracted the attention of modern atheistic scientists, who expound on the similarities between Eastern and Western voidism in fashionable, esoteric books.
These verses vividly describe many unsavory symptoms of the age of Kali. Ultimately, at the end of this age, Lord Krsna will descend as Kalki and remove the thoroughly demonic persons from the face of the earth.

asvam—His horse; asu-gam—swift-traveling; aruhya—mounting; devadattam—named Devadatta; jagat-patih—the Lord of the universe; asina—with His sword; asadhu-damanam—(the horse who) subdues the unholy; asta—with eight; aisvarya—mystic opulences; guna—and transcendental qualities of the Personality of Godhead; anvitah—endowed; vicaran—traveling about; asuna—swift; ksaunyam—upon the earth; hayena—by His horse; apratima—unrivaled; dyutih—whose effulgence; nrpa-linga—with the dress of kings; chadah—disguising themselves; dasyun—thieves; kotisah—by the millions; nihanisyati—He will slaughter.

Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding with great speed, He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings.
PURPORT
These verses describe the thrilling pastimes of Lord Kalki. Anyone would be attracted by the sight of a powerful, beautiful man riding on a wonderful horse at lightning speed, chastising and devastating cruel, demonic people with the sword in His hand.
Of course, fanatical materialists may argue that this picture of Lord Kalki is a mere anthropomorphic creation of the human mind—a mythological deity created by people who need to believe in some superior being. But this argument is not logical, nor does it prove anything. It is merely the opinion of certain people. We need water, but that does not mean man creates water. We also need food, oxygen and many other things that we do not create. Since our general experience is that our needs correspond to available objects existing in the external world, that we appear to need a Supreme Lord would tend to indicate that in fact there is a Supreme Lord. In other words, nature endows us with a sense of need for things that actually exist and that are in fact necessary for our well-being. Similarly, we experience a need for God because we are in fact part of God and cannot live without Him. At the end of Kali-yuga this same God will appear as the mighty Kalki avatara and beat the pollution out of the demons.

TRANSLATION
After all the impostor kings have been killed, the residents of the cities and towns will feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and other decorations of Lord Vasudeva, and their minds will thereby become transcendentally pure.
PURPORT
Nothing can surpass the sublime experience of being dramatically rescued by a great hero who happens to be the Supreme Lord. The death of the demons at the end of Kali-yuga is accompanied by fragrant spiritual breezes, and thus the atmosphere becomes most enchanting.

The Massacres Of 1857-British Jihad against India

Genocide of Indians in 1857 – 59 -Village after village were targeted in a cold-blooded manner, and emptied of its citizens through murder – planned, brutal and cold-blooded murder. It was done  same as was done to Tamils in Jafna villege in Sri Lanka by earlier President by help of CHINA.
It was planned, and perpetrated as a vicious punishment, as a war strategy to take the war to civilian non-combatants with an intention of defeating the enemy – against a people who were fighting for independence, in their own country – and it was done by a people who had no business being here in the first place.

This was supported by legal acts which were drawn up solely to provide a legal cover up.It was wholesale slaughter of an entire people, repeated across innumerable villages, where countless men, women and children were wantonly put to death in 1857-58. This was a shocking saga of wholesale and planned Genocide that surpasses belief. NOW YOU WILL ASK WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISIL AND EARLIER BRITISH?

Jhansi was reduced to rubble, the majority of its citizens reduced to dead bodies. The brutality at Jhansi was unparalleled; so much so, none of this reached the official historical record.

Except for 2 little details. First, an eyewitness – who survived at Jhansi, wrote a Marathi book – Mazhaa Pravaas (1857 : The Real Story Of The Great Uprising) detailing the brutal genocide in stomach-turning detail.

“Most of the citizens and all of the Queen’s soldiers in Jhansi were killed; the streets were left thick with blood slush. Vultures darkened the skies of the city. Hugh Rose had given strict orders not to allow the Indians to perform the last rites of the dead. After 7 April, when the entire city was stinking, and jackals and vultures roamed greedily in search of decomposed bodies, did he grant permission for the last rites.”

There was a prize money as well.This became a part of the archival records. Add to that the reality that more than several soldiers wrote their diaries and memoirs which were subsequently published.The Genocide of Indians goes against every grain of civilization, and humanity and destroys the British (and, by relation, western)  of being a more civilized nation. The impact of the Genocide at Jhansi is even supported by a congratulatory letter of the English. This was a planned, and targeted attack on the civilian population. It took more than 7 decades for the people to rise again. It also explains why The Mahatma and other leaders were wary of an uprising – it would only have led to wholesale slaughter of the population

Till the modern day, no one in the west recognizes these uncomfortable realities, and instead pontificate to the rest of the world on the aspect of civilization!!!. So wondrously civilized were our rapists, they received – and followed- orders to use their own families as human shields in the course of the war – something which is unknown to the Indian People in our entire history.

“Most of the citizens and all of the Queen’s soldiers in Jhansi were killed; the streets were left thick with blood slush. Vultures darkened the skies of the city. Hugh Rose had given strict orders not to allow the Indians to perform the last rites of the dead. After 7 April, when the entire city was stinking, and jackals and vultures roamed greedily in search of decomposed bodies, did he grant permission for the last rites.”

– Mahashweta Devi

And for this, he was given the Victoria Cross! And Knighted, as well. The Butcher Of Jhansi. And we Indians are blissfully unaware of the true horror of those 4 days…

In the entire historical record, the above does not find a mention. The record shows a humane and tolerant treatment to the people; the record was, after all, written by The Butcher Of Jhansi himself. Westerner is blissfully unaware of the scale and scope of the horrors and genocide perpetrated in India from 1757 to 1857! The general consensus seems to be that they brought order to India, introduced Railways, laws, education etc,

शिव नहीं सिखाते नशा

शिव शब्द का अर्थ है शुभ। शंकर का अर्थ है कल्याण करने वाले। निश्चित रूप से उन्हें प्रसन्न करने के लिए मनुष्य को उनके अनुरूप ही बनना पड़ेगा। शिवो भूत्वा शिवं यजेत् यानी शिव बनकर ही उनकी पूजा करें।

हमारे धर्म ग्रंथों में वर्णित शिव के स्वरूप की प्रलयंकारी रूद्र के रूप में स्तुति की गई है। शिव दुष्टों को रुलाने वाले रुद्र हैं तथा सृष्टि का संतुलन बनाने वाले संहारक शंकर हैं।

क्या कहते हैं शिव के विचित्र शृंगार
शिव पुराण के अनुसार शंकर जी के ललाट पर स्थित चंद्र, शीतलता और संतुलन का प्रतीक है। विश्व कल्याण का प्रतीक और चंद्रमा सुंदरता का पर्याय है जो सुनिश्चित ही शिवम् से सुंदरम् को चरितार्थ करता है। सिर पर बहती गंगा शिव के मस्तिष्क में अविरल प्रवाहित पवित्रता का प्रतीक है।

भगवान् शिव का तीसरा नेत्र विवेक का प्रतीक है, जिसके खुलते ही कामदेव नष्ट हुआ था अर्थात् विवेक से कामनाओं को विनष्ट करके ही शांति प्राप्त की जा सकती है।

सर्प की माला दुष्टों को भी गले लगाने की क्षमता तथा कानों में बिच्छू, बर्र के कुंडल कटु एवं कठोर शब्द को सुनने की सहनशीलता ही सच्चे साधक की पहचान है।

क्या कहती है मुंडों की माला
मृगछाल निरर्थक वस्तुओं का सदुपयोग करना और मुंडों की माला, जीवन की अंतिम अवस्था की वास्तविकता को दर्शाती है। भस्म लेपन, शरीर की अंतिम परिणति दर्शाती है। भगवान् शिव के अंतस का तत्त्वज्ञान शरीर की नश्वरता और आत्मा अमरता की ओर संकेत करता है।

शिव को बिल्व पत्र चढ़ाने से लोभ, मोह, अहंकार का नाश होता है। भले मन से भगवान शिव पर जल चढ़ाकर महाकाल को प्रसन्न किया जा सकता है।

शिव नहीं सिखाते नशा
कुछ धार्मिक कहे जाने वाले लोगों ने शिव पूजा के साथ नशे की परिपाटी जोड़ रखी है जो गलत है।

हमरे जान सदा शिव जोगी।
अज अनवद्य अकाम अभोगी।।

अर्थात जैसा विराट पवित्र व्यक्तित्व है, उसने पता नहीं नशा कब किया होगा। भांग, धतूरा, चिलम, गांजा जैसे घातक नशे करना मानवता पर कलंक है। नशेबाजी एक धीमी आत्महत्या है। भगवान शिव ने कभी नशा करने का समर्थन नहीं किया।

जो लोग शिव के नाम पर नशा करते हैं, वे वास्तविकता से अनभिज्ञ हैं। वे शिव के संदेश से अनजान हैं। इस व्यक्तिगत और

तनोट माता का मंदिर जैसलमेर -बाॅर्डर वाली माता

तनोट माता का मंदिर जैसलमेर में भारत-पाक अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा के पास है। सैनिकों का विश्वास है कि मां उन्हें हर विपदा से सुरक्षित रखती है।
मां तनोट को बाॅर्डर वाली माता भी कहते हैं। 1965 के भारत-पाक युद्ध के दौरान पाकिस्तान की सेना इस मंदिर को ध्वस्त करना चाहती थी लेकिन उसके मंसूबे नाकाम हो गए।
बीएसएफ का विश्वास है कि मां तनोट ने अनेक बार उनकी सहायता की है और आज भी वे उनकी मदद करती हैं। बीएसएफ के अलावा स्थानीय लोग भी मां के प्रति गहरी श्रद्धा रखते हैं।
1965 व 1971 में पाकिस्तान पर जीत के बाद हमारे सैनिकों की आस्था माता तनोट के प्रति और मजबूत हो गई। यह अनोखा मंदिर है जहां आस्था के साथ देशभक्ति भी जुड़ी हुई है। मंदिर के बाहर का नजारा। यहां 1965 की लड़ाई में पाकिस्तान की सेना ने अनेक बम बरसाए थे लेकिन माता के प्रताप से वे मंदिर को नुकसान नहीं पहुंचा सके। कई बम तो फटे ही नहीं।

पाकिस्तान पर भारत की विजय और माता तनोट के चमत्कारों के सबूत हैं ये बम। ये पाकिस्तानी सेना की ओर से छोड़े गए थे, जो निष्फल साबित हुए। इन्हें मंदिर में रखा गया है।

रेगिस्तान में हमारी विजय के चिह्न और माता के मंदिर की दूरी बताता संकेत सूचक पत्थर।

युद्ध में भारत के सैनिकों की जवाबी कार्रवाई से पाकिस्तान के छक्के छूट गए थे और उनकी सेना को भारी नुकसान हुआ था। भारत के वीर सैनिकों को मिला तनोट मां का आशीर्वाद पाकिस्तान के लिए वज्रपात साबित हुआशान से लहराता तिरंगा... श्रद्धा और देश के स्वाभिमान का प्रतीक।

लोंगेवाला पोस्ट - यह नाम 1965 की जंग में सुर्खियों का हिस्सा बना था। यहां भारत-पाक सेनाओं के बीच जबर्दस्त जंग छिड़ी। हमारे वीर सैनिकों के प्रहार और माता तनोट के चमत्कारों से पाकिस्तानी यहां से भाग छुटे। कई पाकिस्तानी सैनिक यहां मारे गए थे।
पाकिस्तान पर विजय का एक और निशान। भारत से मिले मुंहतोड़ जवाब के बाद पाक सेना के हौसले पस्त हो और वह अपना टैंक यहीं छोड़ गई। आज लोग यहां आकर उस दौर की यादों को ताजा करते हैं और हमारे सैनिकों की वीरता के साथ ही मां तनोट को नमन करना नहीं भूलते।



 

श्रीलंका के इन लोगों से हर 41 साल बाद मिलते हैं हनुमान जी!

विभिन्न आध्यात्मिक ग्रंथों में कहा गया है कि हनुमानजी अजर-अमर हैं। उनका नाम सप्त चिरंजीवियों में भी शामिल है। दुनिया में ऐसे कई स्थान बताए जाते हैं जिनका संबंध हनुमानजी से है।

ऐसी ही एक जगह श्रीलंका में है, जिसके बारे में लोगों का कहना है कि यहां हर 41 साल बाद हनुमानजी आते हैं। वे कुछ दिन वहां रहते हैं और पुनः चले जाते हैं। इसके बाद लोगों को अगले 41 साल तक उनका इंतजार करना होता है।
इन लोगों को मातंग आदिवासी कहा जाता है। इन आदिवासियों के मुताबिक हनुमानजी से उनकी मुलाकात 27 मई 2014 में हो चुकी है। अब अगली मुलाकात 2055 में होगी। गौरतलब है कि हनुमानजी का जन्म जिन ऋषि के आश्रम में हुआ था, उनका नाम भी मातंग था।

आज मातंग आदिवासी श्रीलंका के पिदुरु पहाड़ के जंगलों में रहते हैं और प्रायः बाहरी समाज से दूर रहना पसंद करते हैं।
कहा जाता है कि मातंग आदिवासियों से हनुमानजी का रिश्ता बहुत प्राचीन है। वे रामायण काल से ही इन लोगों से मुलाकात करते रहे हैं। उनके मुताबिक, हनुमानजी ने उन्हें वचन दिया था कि वे हर 41 साल बाद उनसे मिलने आएंगे।

जब हनुमानजी आते हैं तो उनके कबीले के मुखिया बाबा मातंग संपूर्ण विवरण एक पुस्तिका में लिखते हैं जिसे हनु पुस्तिका कहा जाता है।
कहा जाता है कि जब धरती पर श्रीराम अपनी लीला का समापन कर स्वधाम चले गए, तब हनुमानजी अयोध्या से जंगलों में लौट आए। यहां आकर वे तपस्या में लीन हो गए। वे श्रीलंका के जंगलों में भी आए थे। यहां मातंग आदिवासियों ने उनकी सेवा की थी। इससे खुश होकर हनुमानजी ने उन्हें वचन दिया कि वे हर 41 साल बाद उनसे मिलने आएंगे।


इन आदिवासियों का मानना है कि तब से हनुमानजी अपना वायदा लगातार निभाते आ रहे हैं। वे लोग प्रकृति के निकट रहते हैं और हनुमानजी की पूजा करते हैं। उनका मानना है कि हनुमानजी के दर्शन के लिए हृदय का शुद्ध होना बहुत जरूरी है।

बिना शुद्ध हृदय के उनके दर्शन नहीं हो सकते। उनकी दृढ़ मान्यता है कि हनुमानजी श्रीराम की तपस्या में लीन रहते हैं और जगत के कल्याण के लिए भी तत्पर रहते हैं।






 

गिलहरी से बुद्ध को मिला था आत्मज्ञान

भगवान बुद्ध आत्मज्ञान की खोज में तपस्या कर रहे थे। उनके मन में विभिन्न प्रकार के प्रश्न उमड़ रहे थे। उन्हें प्रश्नों का उत्तर चाहिए था लेकिन अनेक प्रयासों के बाद भी उन्हें सफलता नहीं मिली।

वे आत्मज्ञान की प्राप्ति के लिए कठोर तपस्या करने लगे। अनेक कष्ट सहन किए, कई स्थानों की यात्राएं कीं परंतु जो समाधान उन्हें चाहिए था, वह उन्हें मिला नहीं।

एक दिन उनके मन में कुछ निराशा का संचार हुआ। सोचने लगे, धन, माया, मोह और संसार की समस्त वस्तुओं का भी त्याग कर दिया। फिर भी आत्मज्ञान की प्राप्ति नहीं हुई। क्या मैं कभी आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त कर सकूंगा? मुझे आगे क्या करना चाहिए?

इसी प्रकार के अनेक प्रश्न बुद्ध के मन में उठ रहे थे। तपस्या में सफलता की कोई किरण दिखाई नहीं दे रही थी और इधर बुद्ध ने प्रयासों में कोई कमी नहीं छोड़ी थी। वे उदास मन से इन्हीं प्रश्नों पर मंथन कर रहे थे।

इसी दौरान उन्हें प्यास लगी। वे अपने आसन से उठे और जल पीने के लिए सरोवर के पास गए। वहां उन्होंने एक अद्भुत दृश्य देखा।

एक गिलहरी मुंह में कोई फल लिए सरोवर के पास आई। फल उससे छूटकर सरोवर में गिर गया। गिलहरी ने देखा, फल पानी की गहराई में जा रहा है।

गिलहरी ने पानी में छलांग लगी दी। उसने अपना शरीर पानी मे भिगोया और बाहर आ गई। बाहर आकर उसने अपने शरीर पर लगा पानी झाड़ दिया और पुनः सरोवर में कूद गई।

उसने यह क्रम जारी रखा। बुद्ध उसे देख रहे थे लेकिन गिलहरी इस बात से अनजान थी। वह लगातार अपने काम में जुटी रही। बुद्ध सोचने लगे, ये कैसी गिलहरी है! सरोवर का जल यह कभी नहीं सुखा सकेगी लेकिन इसने हिम्मत नहीं हारी। यह पूरी शक्ति लगाकर सरोवर को खाली करने में जुटी है।

अचानक बुद्ध के मन में एक विचार का उदय हुआ- यह तो गिलहरी है, फिर भी अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने में जुटी है। मैं तो मनुष्य हूं। आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त नहीं हुआ तो मन में निराशा के भाव आने लगे। मैं पुनः तपस्या में जुट जाऊंगा।

इस प्रकार महात्मा बुद्ध ने गिलहरी से भी शिक्षा प्राप्त की और तपस्या में जुट गए। एक दिन उन्हें आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त हो गया और वे भगवान बुद्ध हो गए।
