Intellectual policy on Islam and Hindu Vigil.

Posted by hinduexistence on May 14, 2013

Intellectual policing on Islam must be an essential part in the life of Hindu culture.

Dr. Babu Suseelan. 

Supremacy of OMSince independence from British Christian Colonialists a number of developments have occurred in India that played an important part in shaping Hindu life. In the first place, India was divided by Islamists and bogus secular political leaders. There has been an increased recognition that all Muslims will go to PAKISTAN, an Islamic country. We have elected an atheist and anti-Hindu man Jawaharlal Nehru as the Prime Minister of India. Nehru believed in Islam, and his beliefs, thinking and action encouraged Muslims in India remain in India and to preach Islamic hatred and indulge in violence as prescribed in the Koran. Nehru and the anti-national Congress party have opened up the appeasement policy and special reservation and quota systems for Muslims. The activities the Nehru dynasty has in subsequent years have resulted in the demographic increase of Muslims. Subsequent Prime Ministers like Indira Gandhi, V.P. Singh, Deva Gowda, Manmohan Singh etc. continued pro-Islamic policies and programs. The ruling parties increased Hajj subsidy and pseudo secular Hindus never criticized pro-Islamist policies and or unwilling to let the majority Hindus study the Contemporary issues created by Islamic terrorists. Indian intellectuals, leftist liberals and pseudo secular Hindus never studied India beset by problems which are universally ascribed to inept handling of Islamic terrorism. Indian intellectuals, leftist academicians, and corrupt political leaders and phony secular leaders were reluctant to study the vital current Indian problems. What are the reasons for this?

In the first place many pseudo secular Hindus think that Sanatana Dharma is eternal and have the attitude that “all religions are the same” and special study of Islam is unnecessary.  Almost every political leaders, businessmen, military leaders, criminal justice administrators, religious leaders, and journalists, consider themselves as good Hindu and believes that they already know the ethical facts and principles of Hinduism on the basis of their own experience in dealing with Muslims. Unquestionably, these individuals, and other Hindus are responsible for the current predicaments and many of the social problems. But it is just as obviously true that they do not know enough to deal with some of the most significant social problems created my Islamists. Despite the vast erroneous knowledge and irrational information, they will find among good men the world over like Indian culture.  India’s intellectuals, Marxist academicians and the media pundits in India lack the knowledge how to handle problems created by Islamists. Industrial and social unrest, hate, prejudice, crime, violence, Islamic terrorism, love jihad, corruption, giving reservation to Muslims in all levels  and establishment of sharia court in different places,  continue to be major problems in India. But everywhere practical knowledge is lacking to problems created by Islamists. It must be pointed out that Indian administrators and criminal politicians lack the knowledge how to prevent the Islamic savages who succeed in killing Hindus.

The lack of understanding of Islam and Jihad results in failure to contain savage behavior of Muslims. Hindus are under constant threats from Islamists and in many states; Hindus are living in a prison of Islamic terror. And where are the bogus secularists, Indian liberals, Communist academicians and leftist intellectuals to educate the majority when they fear Islamic terror. It does not take a lot of imagination to understand how people behave when they are discriminated by the government and surrounded and attacked by Islamic savages.

In Kashmir all Hindus are killed. Some Hindus and other infidels or driven out, and they are living in refugee camps in their own country. Kerala, the land of Snakaracharya, Muslims will outnumber Hindus in few years. What does it say about the states of truth about Jihad, when the mainstream Indian media joins with corrupt politicians and Islamists? We can predict the outcome. Indian media, owned and operated by our enemies blame Hindus for their suffering by Islamic terrorists. Hindu women are raped; business attacked yet, the media blame the myopic Hindus. Good information is easily accessible and easily available on the atrocious behavior of Islamic criminals committed against innocent citizens. If the government administrators and Indian educated elites and leftist academicians want to eliminate full Jihad in India it is still possible. In India, there is a vacuum on the pseudo secular left, and Jihadist knows how to take full advantage.

Rather than seek to cultivate a united ideological font against Islam,  jihadi terrorist’s ideological roots, government of India, and Indian intellectuals did in fact did unilateral and emotionally irrelevant appeasement policy and played Islamic vote bank politics. It was like a hydra growing new heads.

However, the distinction between Islam (a closed desert Dogma) and open ended, systemic, pluralistic, Hinduism simply should not be pushed aside without an attempt to diagnose and exorcise some of the social, psychological, criminal problems created by Islamists by Indian intellectuals. And it is now a question of trying to find why Indian intellectuals, educated elites, and our politicians refuse to see the stereotypical presentation of Hinduism and Hindus in India and abroad. Are they suffering from a virulent form of cognitive disorder, unable to see the reality? “Cognitive Nihilism” hit them? Indian intellectual’s ideological prejudice shared with pseudo secular Hindus who are in deep denial, apathetic and indifferent. It would not take a genius to realize that there are distinction between Islam and Hinduism. Hinduism is highly eclectic, systemic, pluralistic, and open-ended and provides liberty to individuals. One wonders, why India’s intellectuals refuse to see the difference between a closed dogma and open ended Hindu philosophy. Although Islam is often powerfully associated with state and central government in India, how can we deny the fact that Muslims have killed more than 80 million Hindus, and is associated with mass killing and violence and terrorism? Hinduism is peaceful, analytic, and methodological. Very few Islamic theologians or Mullahs will admit that Islam is extremely parochial and encourage its followers to annihilate all infidels from the world (Um-welt) and create Dar-ul-Islam. They are not interested in philosophical analysis. Muslims are clever in al-taquiya (lying) and disguises and disarms a more profound and interesting possible about the intentions of Jihadi terrorists in India.  Like caged parrots, Muslims are still singing that “Islam is peace”. It is clear, that the truthfulness of Islam is questionable. There is something intellectually cowardly about their claims. AS closed dogmatic and aggressive fundamentalists, Islamic theologians and Mullahs refuse to face intellectual challenges and dialogue.

Many phony secular Hindus, corrupt politician, Islamic religious leaders and corrupt bureaucrats have the attitude that Hindu values and life principles are unnecessary. Every criminal politician in India thinks that they know Hinduism and already know the essential facts about Islam, Maoism, and Marxism. On the basis of their own experience in dealing with Marxists, Maoists, and Islamists.

The division between Santana Dharma and Islam is the expression of a commitment of Mohammad and freedom of thought. And more over it is an eternal conflict of differing and opposed habit of thought. The deeper point is that the philosophical and cultural truth matters. Whatever they might be, we have to take sides, and there by become a part of sane world. Islamists claim that their Saudi Arabian Islam is perfect and is a perfected and closed and the Koran which contains traditional Saudi Arabian culture, absurdities and irrational ideas for aggression and violence against infidels needs no renaissance, revision or reformation. What Muslims have to understand, then is the broad-mindedness and tolerance of Hindus.

Indian intellectuals, Politicians and Hindus must exhibit a commitment to neutralize Islam and Muslim Jihadis. Incorrect, intellectually dishonest and phony statements that “all religions are the same” simply serve to perpetuate Islamic terrorism against Hindus.

Hinduism is no longer confines to India. As an NRI Hindu, I feel that Hinduism has so much to offer to the world beset by Islamic terrorists, coercive religious conversion and interpersonal problems. As responsible citizens of a democratic world, NRI Hindus and Indian intellectuals must apply the science of Hindutva to problems created by the desert dogma called Islam. India will prosper if Indian citizens can understand the current division in culture. It is extremely impossible for India to avoid corruption, Jihadi terrorism, criminal behavior of Maoists, and Muslims unless Indian intellectuals come to the view that Islam is cruel, rude, closed, nasty, and brutish.

In my view the cultural pathology of Muslim Jihadist must be stopped.  As a final thought, we might consider that there are two cultures-one humanistic, pluralistic, systemic, rationalistic, peaceful and tolerant. The other (ISLAM) is against democracy, human rights, pluralism, peace, and co-existence and even distorts humanist modernity. Muslims are brutal, intolerant, and aggressive.  Hinduism is truth and meaning, knowledge and wisdom. Islam is opposed to harmony, religious tolerance, and not in favor of social progress, science, technology and modern industry.

Islamists are probably the absolute worse human right violators of Hindus in the world. Since the Indian media and the Sonia administration have in varying degrees decided to ignore or whitewash this otherwise growing epidemic of human pain and suffering of Hindus. Muslims are conditioned to believe that Hindus are hypocrites, fanatical, intolerant and the source of the world’ vows. In fact, Hindus are the by far the most persecuted religious groups around the world.

The situation has gone from bad to worse, politically in the light of the fact that there is no intellectual policing of Islam. The so Called anti-Hindu Indian Intellectuals are cohort with Islamic theologians and Mullahs and refuse to take intellectual challenges to Islam. It is very unfortunate that Indian academicians are unable or unwilling to an intellectual/philosophical challenge to Islam. Indian Intellectual elites are unable or unwilling to develop a consensus that the Islamic threat is significant.

I wish, pro-Islamist corrupt politicians, leftist academicians, and elite pseudo secular Indian intellectuals read all the passages in the Koran which promote, instigate and motivate Muslims for violence against infidels. So, the duty of the peace loving and patriotic citizens to save India from the supremacist Islamic power, cannot be ignored anyway.

Intellectual policing of Islam and continued dialogue on the philosophy (?) of Mohamed may reduce antagonism and mutual misrepresentation between the close ended Islam and open ended Hinduism.

Intellectual policing of Islam must be an essential part  in the life of Hindu culture.

Greetings of Sri Ram Navmi. Chant Ramraksha Stotram. It’s not just a chant. It’s Powerful and Blissful.

Posted by hinduexistence on April 19, 2013

Jai Sri Ram

Greetings of Sri Ram Navmi to all.

Ramraksha stotra: Not just a divine chant.

Barkha Mathur | Nagpur | TNN | Apr 19, 2013:: The nine days of ChaitraNavratri, from GudiPadwa till Ram Navami, are filled with chants of Ramrakshastotra. The same can be heard at temples, homes and in groups, as people come together for collective recitals.

Considered to be one of the most sacred chants, it has tremendous powers to protect a devout from evil, says Prafulla Nandangiri, secretary of Bhonsla Ved Shala in Mahal. “There are a total of 38 shlokas, of which some like the 35th one is ‘siddha’. Reciting it can provide mental strength to a person, by making him feel fearless,” he says. This is a siddha stotra for complete protection of body and when read 1,300 times, it can destroy all dangers that a person may be facing, says Nandangiri.

“Ramraksha is also considered to be good for a newborn child and the new mother, and is read out while tying the black thread around the neck of an infant,” he says, adding that there are different rhythms for reciting it.

“The stotra focuses on all parts of the body and invokes Lord Ram to protect them. So, it is recited for children and also for those afflicted with some disease,” explains Kapil Chandrayan, a student of astrology. For best results, it should be read in Sanskrit for the vibrations that emanate through chanting of these sacred mantras, suggests Chandrayan.

Recitals of Ramraksha stotra are considered good during Chaitra Navratri as at this time god is present with all his powers in the sanctum sanctorum of temples, says Prasad Joshi, who is studying scriptures. “I recite the Ramraksha stotra as it helps me to master incantation of different chants. It has been written with anushtup chan as its poetic meter, which is a four-part mantra with 32 letters in one stanza. During these nine days, reading and reciting these sacred mantras is very effective.” <Read details here.>

WORLD HINDU YOUTH CONFERENCE HELD AT BALI.

Posted by hinduexistence on April 4, 2013

World Hindu youth leaders gather in Bali to make a success of World Hindu Youth Conference.

World Youth Hindu Conference, BaliNi Komang Erviani |  The Jakarta Post | Denpasar | Archipelago | Sat, March 30 2013 :: Hundreds of Hindu youth leaders from 13 countries gathered on the predominantly Hindu island of Bali for a two-day (March 29-30) conference to discuss issues related to the future of the ancient religion. 

“We are here to work together to see what we can learn from each other, from different countries, how we can work together across the globe. How we can share ideas, how we can share solutions,” the coordinator of the conference, Bhavin Davdra, said during the opening ceremony of the conference on Friday.

The conference was organized by Hindu Students and Youth Network with the theme of “Shaping the Next Generation of Leaders of the Hindu Resurgence”.

Among the participants are those from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India and Singapore.

The conference is expected to devise key strategies to prepare Hindu youths to achieve their goals and fulfill their responsibilities at local, national and global levels in a straightforward and effective manner. Such strategies would also enable Hindu youths across the globe to disseminate information on critical issues on a real-time basis.

The conference also aims at providing opportunities for young students, professionals and youth organizations to build effective networks, so that they can effectively coordinate with each other on strategies and information to advance their respective work.

“This conference will discuss several issues related to Hindus, such as the economy, politics, human rights as well as mass media,” organizing committee member Gde Dharma Nugraha said.

Nugraha, who serves as an executive with the Indonesia Hindu Students Association (KMHDI), explained that the conference was the first conference held based on an agreement made at an informal meeting of Hindu youth leaders in India in 2010. 

Hindus belong to a minority group in Indonesia. Bali province is only 0.29 percent of Indonesia. 

“Our population here is only 4 million, among 240 million Muslims in this country. So, we are a small minority group. However, Bali has been steadfastly faithful to Hinduism and its heritage. That’s why we have to be very proud of this, and we are very proud to host this conference here. I hope more and more Hindu world leaders will come to Bali to strengthen our commitment to being Hindu followers,” Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said.

N.B. For obtaining details of Resolutions passed in the conference, delegates from different countries. next venue etc., Hindu Existence Forum has contacted the organizers at arise.arjuna@hsynetwork.net and gdebig@gmail.com .

Resurgent Hindu Forces are trying hard to strengthen Hindu Activism upto grass-root level in Eastern Bharat (India).

Posted by hinduexistence on February 6, 2013

Resurgent Hindu Forces are trying to strengthen Hindu Activism upto grass-root level. Two important Hindu Conferences in the Eastern Region to promote Hindu Activism through real unison.

Diamond Harbour Hindu Conference

Diamond Harbour (West Bengal) and Dhanbad (Jharkhand) | Special Correspondent, Hindu Existence | 5th February, 2013:: On 3rd Feb, two vital Hindu conferences were held under the initiatives of JANA JAGARAN MANCH at Diamond Harbour, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal  and TARUN HINDU DAL at Dhanbad, Jharkhand.

While a 700 devout Hindu people assembled at Rabindra Bhavan of Diamond Harbour, another 1200 Hindu warriors thronged at Steel Gate, Sarai Dhela, Dhanbad. The day long programmes  were successfully completed in both places with definite resolution to combat anti Hindu forces in different shapes. While the Hindu leadership at Diamond Harbour resolved to go the streets to protest against rampant Muslim appeasement in West Bengal by the ruling Trinmool Congress Govt, fatal consequences of Love Jihad and for a real consolidation of Hindu Votes , the Hindu resolution at Dhanbad affirmed an exclusion of pseudo ”Secular” stature in Bhartiya (Indian) Constitution and the Christian Conversion Conspiracy in Eastern India.

Swami AgamanandaJi (Senior Saint in Bengal), Shri Radhakrishna Pradhan (Ex-Teacher, Bharat Sevashram Sangha, Shri Yogesh Saxena (Renowned Advocate of Allahabad High Court), Shri Amaresh Mukhopadhyay (Renowned Hindu Thinker), Shri Ananda Kumar Arya (Chief, Arya Pratinidhi Sabha, Bengal), Acharya Yogesh Shastri (Arya Veer Dal)  Shri Chittaranjal Sural (Hindu Janajagruti Samiti), Shri Gopal Saha (Nationalist Lawyer Forum), Shri Subhas Chakroborty (Nikhil Banga Nagarik Sangha), Shri Tapan Biswas (Hindu Help Group) and Manas Saha (President, Jana Jagran Manch) were present in the Diamond Harbour Programme of Jana Jagran Manch.

Swami PradiptanandaJi (In-Charge, Bharat Sevashram Sangha, Beldanga Branch), Shri Tapan Ghosh (President, Hindu Samhati), Shri Pradip Khemka (Sanatan Sanastha) and Shri Rajmangal Singh (Tarun Hindu Dal) were present in the Dhanbad programme of Tarun Hindu Dal.

It is reported that 7000 people signed in a petition at Dhanbad to turned down the constitutional amendment of 1976 to include an unnecessary term of ‘Secularism’ in Indian Constitution only to deprive and humiliate Hindus in their exclusive rights in Bharat. A big rally of 1500 persons was the main attraction of Dhanbad Hindu Sammelan. Swami Pradiptanandaji of Bharat Sevashram Sangha reconverted Shri Sidhu Lal, a tribal Christian and other 12 members of his family again through Suddhi Yajna.

The meeting was converted to a mammoth rally. There were hundreds of people in the rally. The rally carried many placards demanding repealing the word “secular” from our constitution, ban on cow slaughter, ban on religious conversions etc. Sri Tapan Ghosh described in Dhanbad meeting about the love that Swami Vivekananda had towards motherland Bharat and asked the workers of Tarun Hindu to love Bharat and Hinduism.

A memorandum was signed by thousands of people in the roadside requesting the president of India to repeal the word “secular” from the constitution of Bharat.

A Hindu Sangharsh Samiti was constituted in the conference, taking many organizations together, to fight for the causes of the Hindutva.

………………….
Shri Chittaranjan Sural (HJS) and Shri Pradip Khemka (SS) advocated the Dhrama Jagaran and balance of Brahma Tej and Khastra Tej in making a Hindu Rashtra as a solution of all problems in present India in Diamond Harbour and Dhandad programme respectively.

Our Pranam – Bowed Salutation and Gratitude to all the Gurus in this auspicious Guru Purnima!

Posted by hinduexistence on July 3, 2012

Holy Message of H.H. Dr. Jayant Balaji Athavale, Sanatan Sanstha in the event of Sri Guru Purnima.

O Hindus ! Become the immortal flame in the historical chapter on establishment of the Hindu Rashtra and preserve the heritage of Guru-disciple tradition !

Gurupournima is the day of offering gratitude unto the Guru ! The real mission of the Guru is to guide the society (that is lost in materialism) towards Spirituality and take the true disciples towards Moksha (Final Liberation). The true disciples too follow this path and participate in the samashti (for the sake of the society) mission throughout their life. Offering the self physically, psychologically and economically to the samashti mission of the Guru is true gratitude unto the Guru ! Contribution of the Guru-disciple tradition to the samashti has been immense. This glorious tradition has emancipated the life of the Hindu society on moral, cultural and spiritual fronts.
History is testimony to the fact that whenever there has been a decline of Hindu Dharma, the Guru-disciple tradition has directly participated in the mission of reinstatement of Dharma.
Today, there is a decline of Hindu Dharma. The rise of Raja-Tama-predominant forces is causing decline in sattvikta (Sattva-predominance). Since the society is indulging in adharmik (Unrighteous) practices, the spiritual strength of the Nation is weakening. This has given rise to deceit and hypocrisy in the society. Corruption and immorality are on the ascent everywhere. There is rise in wrongdoings in the name of religion. In short, the very soul of Sanatan Dharma has disappeared, and what remains is its lifeless shell. This is the single reason why reinstating of Dharma has now become necessary. Under the prevailing circumstances, reinstatement of Dharma means establishing a Hindu Rashtra on the foundation of Dharma. This Nation will then have an ideal system of governance. This system will be the true alternative to the present day corrupt democratic system, which has caused deterioration of Bharat in every field and has led to decline of Hindu Dharma.
Brahmatej (Radiance of Brahman) and Kshatratej (Radiance of warrior) are two aspects essential for the reinstatement of the Dharma. Most Saints and spiritual organisations such as Sanatan Sanstha are striving hard for enhancing the spiritual power (nurturing Brahmatej) of the Nation on the strength of their sadhana. While many Nation and Dharma loving organisations, periodicals and intellectuals are involved in nurturing Kshatratej at the physical, psychological and intellectual levels to change the dire state of the Nation, the mission needs to progress as outlined ahead.
A. Physical : This involves physical participation for the reinstatement of Dharma. For example, preventing harm to Dharma, organising protests, retaliatory action etc. This is 10% important as per the times.
B. Psychological : Educating Hindus about the mission and motivating them towards action as per the principle, ‘There can be no action unless emotion for the Nation and Dharma is awakened’. This can be achieved through educative writings in newspapers etc., through discourses etc. This also has 10% importance as per the times.
C. Intellectual : Giving direction to the Hindu society for reinstatement of Dharma. For example, conducting a detailed analysis of calamities affecting the Hindus, providing intellectual strength to Hindu organisations etc. This too has 10% importance as per the times.
D. Spiritual : This involves spiritual practice performed for bestowing spiritual strength to the physical, psychological and intellectual activities carried out for reinstatement of Dharma. For example, chanting or performing Yadnya (Sacrificial fires) to accomplish a task. This has importance of 70% as per the times.
As per the times, with the Guru-disciple tradition and spiritual sects, every Hindu participating in the task involving Kshatratej (of the physical, psychological and intellectual level) and Brahmatej (of the spiritual level) as per the ability and sadhana, amounts to preserving the Guru-disciple tradition ! O Hindus ! Be active and contribute to the reinstatement of Dharma from this year’s Gurupournima and become the immortal flame in the historical chapter on establishment of the Hindu Rashtra !
- H. H. Dr. Jayant Balaji Athavale, Sanatan Sanstha.

Upananda Brahmachari of Hindu Existence, Acharya Yogesh Shastri of Arya Samaj, Dr Nilmadhab Das of Tarun Hindu Dal, Jharkhnd have already reached Ramnathi to attend this grand programme and visited all the departments connected with this programme and Ramnathi Ashram as requested by the convenor.

In an interview taken by Sri Chittarnjan Sural, an active organiser of this Hindu Summit, Upananda Brahmachari, the editor, Hindu Existence expressed  that this Hindu Summit is a reflection of the demand of a Hindu State by the Hindus in India on the basis of Dharma, Shakti and mass movement. He said that Hindus are the largest 3rd religious groups in the world. If the first and second largest religious groups have about 100 religious states, Why Hindus numbering 100 crores are deprived from a single Hindu State.

Referring Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Tilak, Dr Hedgewar, Savarkar, Sri Upananda Brhamachari said the demand for a Hindu State is a just and fare demand of Hindus in all perspectives.

Sydney Veda Pathasala is exploring Indian Culture and Heritage through Sanskrit Language.

Posted by hinduexistence on June 28, 2011

Sydney Veda Pathasala. BSK/SVP Annual Day Celebration.

VEDAS AND SANSKRIT LANGUAGE IS THRIVING IN AUSTRALIA.

BSK/SVP ANNUAL DAY – SUNDAY 19th JUNE 2011 AT ERMINGTON. 
……………………………..……………………………………….

More than 100 children and 50 adults participated in the Annual day and mesmerised the audience through Sanskrit skit, slokas and vedic chanting.

Bala Samskar Kendra (BSK) focuses on promoting Sanskrit language, leadership skills, Bharatiya culture, values and personality development in children of all ages. BSK in conjunction with Sydney Veda Patasala  (SVP) promotes Vedas and Sanskrit. Students attend classes every Sunday and learn Sanskrit which is one of the oldest languages in the world. Lessons also focus around culture, vedic science and chantings of Sanskrit hymns.

Sydney Veda Patasala is the First Veda Pathasala operating outside Bharat. The BSK and SVP Annual Day was held on the 19th of June, 2011 at Ermington Community Centre.

Smt.Bhavana Sudarshan, MC for the day, welcomed the guests. There were three BSK and SVP groups from various parts of Sydney. The program showcased the talents of children through various performances and was well attended. An apology letter from Albert Vella, President of NSW Federation of Community Language Schools, was read out signifying the importance of language in our lives. It ended with a quoting; “To speak one language is to live one life, to speak many languages is to live many lives”

The programme started with a Sanskrit poem “Mudaakarata” (written by Adi Sankaracharya) rendered by Metella Road Sanskrit school children. It was heartening for Dr Rugmini, Smt. Jayanthi and Smt.Rohini to see their teaching effort coming to fruition when their school children performed so well.

Shri Narayanan, Sanskrit teacher from Baulkham hills presented the welcome speech in Sanskrit.

Akila Ramarathinam , General Secretary, VHP Australia, presented a detailed report accompanied by a visual presentation on the activities of VHP Australia

that included  Sanskrit education, leadership camps and conferences. Swami Vigyanananda’s speech was enlightening to the audience.

Indus Script, the earliest writing system of South Asia, may even earliest in the World

Posted by hinduexistence on September 2, 2010

Dr.Kalyanaraman’s Book Indus Script Cipher

(Review of First paperback printing edition published in July 2010)

Book Review by Prof. Shivaji Singh.

Former Head of the Department of Ancient History,Archaeology and Culture, University of Gorakhpur (India) Presently National President, ABISY

A real treat for everyone interested in the earliest writing system of South Asia

<Dr. Kalyanaraman’s book Indus Script Cipher (2010) comes as a luminous ray of hope that brushes aside the gloom hitherto prevailing in the field of Indus (or, rather, ) palaeography and epigraphy. Not only all efforts aimed at deciphering the script had failed, there were no signs of even a partial success in that direction. “It is sad to observe” wrote Gregory L. Possehl in 1996, “that, except for the concordances, we are no nearer a decipherment than G. R. Hunter was in 1929.” The situation had remained unchanged till today despite the efforts made by some scholars including N. Jha and N. S. Rajaram in the period following Possehl’s remark. Many a scholars had even started feeling that Indus inscriptions would perhaps never be read! It is a matter of pleasure to note that Kalyanaraman’s present book has succeeded in changing this pessimistic scenario.

It is well-known that very ancient writing systems are seldom alphabetic. They aremnemonic, pictographic, ideographic, logographic, etc., in pure or mixed forms. The scholars trying to decipher the Indus script did not pay due attention to this fact and seldom engaged in investigating the evolutionary level on which the Indus writing system was located. Debates about the script remained confined to whether the language of the Indus people was Proto-Dravidian, Early or Pre-Vedic Sanskrit, or Proto-Munda. The controversy about the Aryan Problem seems to have come in the way of a proper approach to Indus script decipherment.

The author of the Indus Script Cipher makes it very clear in the very beginning of thebook that no a-priori assumptions are made about ‘the theories related to invasionsand migrations or chronology of movements of people into or out of India which yielded the majority of Indus script inscriptions’. It is this capacity of the author to remain objective in an emotionally and politically charged atmosphere that has made this book a great success.

The author successfully demonstrates that the Indus writing uses the rebus method.It is a simple method used by several ancient writing systems that have evolved or are evolving beyond the pictographic stage. It is based on likeness of sound orhomophony. The figure of an ‘eye’ may be made for writing ‘I’ since ‘eye’ and ‘I’ are homophonous. Similarly, wavy lines may be drawn to indicate a ‘sea’ for writing the word ‘see’.

There are many features that make this book laudable. But, to my mind the mostnoteworthy (or rather praiseworthy) is the understanding of the term ‘mlechchha’ arrived at in this book. The author of the book, Dr. Kalyanaraman, has outwitted all subaltern historians by assigning a noble status to this term.

I am sure that Dr. Kalyanaraman’s name will go down the history and he will be remembered with reverence by future generations for this extraordinary contribution.

Two Important Works on Hinduism

Posted by hinduexistence on April 23, 2010

Encyclopedia of Hinduism Launched

DELHI, INDIA: The much awaited Encyclopedia of Hinduism is finally out. After the deep research conducted by about 2000 eminent scholars for about 20 years, it came in 6,600 multi-color pages divided into 11 volumes. It is jointly published by India Heritage Research Foundation and Rupa & Co. and is first of its kind on Hinduism.

The first preview of this compilation was organized at the Vivekananda International Centre in New Delhi on March 25 in the presence of eminent scholars, bureaucrats, educationists and leading personalities of the country including former Deputy Prime Minister Shri LK Advani, former Union HRD Minister Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, Shri Arif Mohammad Khan, former Governor of J&K Shri Jagmohan and many others.

Three volumes of the Encyclopedia are ready and eight others will be ready within a few weeks. It is a comprehensive compilation of the vast ocean of knowledge, history and experience that constitutes Indian culture. The content has been divided into different sections like art, Hinduism in global context, history, historiography and geography, language and literature, philosophy, polity, religion and spirituality, science, special institutions and movements, spiritual disciplines, scholarship in Hindu studies and women in studies.

Talking to Organiser, Sadhvi Bhagwati, secretary of the India Heritage Research Foundation and a disciple of Swami Chidanand Muni Saraswati who has been instrumental behind the publication of the compilation, said the Encyclopedia answers the questions people are often confronted with, like: What is Hinduism? Who is a Hindu?, etc. The historical details of Hinduism have been explained in various articles written by eminent scholars. More than 2,000 scholars have contributed in this publication.

Review of Encyclopedia of Hinduism

In March/April of 2010, on the holy banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh & Haridwar there is the greatest spiritual fair in the world, the Maha Kumbha Mela. Taking place every twelve years, the Kumbha regularly draws crowds of more than fifty million pilgrims from across the world. It is a time when the spiritual masters of all the different traditions and lineages come together to bestow their darshan and wisdom upon the masses. The Kumbha of 2010 will also mark a historic event – the release of the long awaited Encyclopedia of Hinduism, compiled by India Heritage Research Foundation. H.H. the Dalai Lama, H.H. Sri Shankaracharaya of Kanchi Peeth, Swami Jayendra Saraswati, Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza, Sant Shri Morari Bapu and many more revered saints have already confirmed their presence at this auspicious event.

Celebration in honor of the upcoming and long awaited Encyclopedia of Hinduism was held at Cedar Gardens Banquets in Hamilton, NJ on October 10, 2009. The function was blessed by the presence of the founder of IHRF and inspirer of Encyclopedia of Hinduism, H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji. He is the president and spiritual head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, India

The Encyclopedia of Hinduism has aptly been termed, “The Project of the Third Millennium.” Under the divine vision and guidance of India’s leading saint, H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, the Encyclopedia will mark the first time in history that the vast panorama of Indian culture is encapsulated in one complete work.

India’s cultural heritage is multistranded and complex, forming an intricate tapestry of wisdom, insight and tradition. The timeless truths are available and beneficial to people of all religions, all faiths and all walks of life. Hinduism is not a dogma, but rather a way of life that brings depth, richness, integrity, understanding and meaning to our daily lives.

To encapsulate an entire cosmos in a literary portfolio is an enormous task. Nevertheless, under the divine inspiration of H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, the India Heritage Research Foundation has undertaken the divine and momentous challenge of publishing the first, complete, authentic multi-volume Encyclopedia of Hinduism. This project will provide the first thorough and comprehensive compilation, integrating the vast ocean of knowledge, history and experience that is Indian culture.

Despite the influence of Hinduism across the globe, this spiritual tradition is widely misunderstood in the West. It has become imperative to provide an authentic, objective, scholarly, standardized and comprehensive source of reference and information.

The Encyclopedia will provide a better understanding of Hindu traditions, deepen inter-cultural dialogue and serve as a standard reference for students, teachers, seekers and anyone interested in the world’s oldest living tradition. The Encyclopedia will include approximately 7000 articles, ranging in length from 250 to over 5000 words, covering the depth and breadth of Hindu culture, tradition and civilization. The articles span twelve main subject areas: art, Hinduism in global context, history, historiography and geography, language and literature, philosophy, polity, religion and spirituality, sciences, social institutions and movements, spiritual disciplines, scholarship in Hindu studies and role of Hindu women.

The Encyclopedia has been prepared by over 1000 scholars all across the globe. Headquarters for EH were located at the University of South Carolina, Columbia where all articles from all satellite offices around the world were sent for approval and editing. Final operations of editing and review shifted to India in 2003. Under the guidance of Chief Editor Dr. K.L. Seshagiri Rao and Executive Editor Dr. Kapil Kapoor and Executive Editors in USA and India, the work is nearly complete. The articles have all been written and received by the Encyclopedia offices across the world and are now in the final stage of proofreading by Rupa & Co. publishers and the executive editorial team in Delhi.

The manuscript work is nearly complete, including the selection and matching of illustrations to articles.

Highlights of EH

First comprehensive Encyclopedia of Hinduism in history. Extensively researched & documented. Authentic, authoritative & illuminating. 12 main subject areas, 11 Volumes. 7500 original entries.Approx. 6 million words.Thousands of Illustrations. Cross referenced. Complete Index & Glossary.A product of the cooperative research of more than 1000 international scholars of Hinduism.

Hindu American Foundation (HAF) Issues reports on Hindu Rights around globe including Bangladesh & Pakistan

The Foundation’s sixth annual Hindu Human Rights Report details violations against Hindus in areas where they are minority – namely in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Fiji, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago, in addition to Pakistan and the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir.  It also includes a Hotspots of Trouble section which includes coverage on Afghanistan, Australia and Saudi Arabia. The report provides detailed accounts of human rights violations are in the areas of violence against women, murder, ethnic cleansing, temple destruction, socio-political ostracization, disenfranchisement, discrimination and forced conversions.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, March 30, 2010: The annual Hindu human rights report was released by the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) earlier today.

The 194 page report, now in its sixth year, entitled “Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora, A Survey of Human Rights 2009,” is the only such report released internationally. Censuring eleven countries for either targeting Hindus to further religious and political agendas or failing to ensure equal rights and protections, the report is widely read by government officials and lawmakers here and earned spirited responses and denials from the American embassies of several countries indicted in the past.

“This annual report documents human rights violations of Hindus throughout South Asia and in countries that do not share values of democracy, pluralism and freedom,” said U.S. Congressman Ed Royce (R-CA) after reviewing the Foundation’s report. “By spotlighting which nations do not live up to these standards, nonprofit organizations like HAF stand up for the basic dignity and human rights for all people of faith and for free thought.”

“Our effort started with the belief that Hindu minorities were silent and unknown victims in Bangladesh, Pakistan and elsewhere, and documenting their realities has grown into a full time endeavor,” said Ramesh Rao, Ph.D., the Foundation’s human rights researcher and coordinator.”This year, the arrival of thousands of Hindu refugees from Bhutan brings a human face to the issues too many encounter simply because of their ethnicity and Hindu faith.”

Islamic Republic of Pakistan

In 1947, Hindus were approximately 25% of the population of Pakistan. Now, Hindus constitute less than 1.6% of the population. Pakistan officially and routinely discriminates against non-Muslims through a variety of discriminatory laws, such as blasphemy laws. On March 24, 2005, Pakistan restored the discriminatory practice of mandating the inclusion of religious identity of individuals in all new passports.
  • School textbooks continue to promote Islam and hatred and intolerance towards non-Muslims, including Hindus.
  • Islamists continue to extend their influence throughout the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and other parts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP).
  • Recurring reports point to an alarming trend of Hindu girls being kidnapped, raped, held in madrassas (Islamic seminaries) and forcibly converted to Islam.
  • Poor Hindus continue to be subjected to inhumane conditions through the bonded labor system.
HAF Recommendations
  1. Pakistan should remove all blasphemy laws.  Those imprisoned under blasphemy laws should get their day in court within a period of two weeks.  Long imprisonments without court appraisal constitute human rights abuse.
  2. Pakistan should reverse the 2005 decision mandating religious identification in passports.
  3. Pakistan should set up a Human Rights Commission and a National Minorities Commission to monitor the human rights condition and to enable minorities to enjoy the rights provided to the majority population.
  4. Pakistan should reform its education system in order to remove inaccuracies about other religions and promote tolerance and pluralism.
  5. The United States should demand that Pakistan stop supporting and financing all Islamic militant groups operating in the subcontinent.  The United States must end all military assistance to Pakistan.
  6. The United States should continue dialogue with Pakistan on the issues of human rights and religious freedom and dispatch a fact-finding committee organized by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to Pakistan.

Sanskrit is still a practicing language. Each Hindu House in Sasana Village in Orissa has a proud Sanskrit Teacher.

Posted by hinduexistence on April 7, 2010

Village of Sanskrit Pundits. Reflecting Hindu Culture and Tradition.

Kendrapara (Orissa): Sanskrit may have ceased to be spoken by people, but there is a remote village in this coastal district of Orissa where every home has a pundit of the ancient language.

Sasana village in the Shyamsundar gram panchayat area is almost an anachronism in today’s culture which no longer takes pride in mastering the language which, along with Latin, were once the two most dominant languages in the world.

The village, inhabited almost fully by Brahmins, has a little over 32 households with 200-odd members. In all the households one will come across Sanskrit pundits employed in government-run Sanskrit-medium educational institutions.
‘We are proud patrons of Sanskrit. The ancient language is very much alive at the village, 76-year-old Baishnav Charan Pati, a Sanskrit pundit who has retired from his teaching job, said.
Pati said that they made sure for generations that at least one child in every household had been taught in the Sanskrit medium of education.
‘Most of the Sanskrit-educated residents have found employment either in government schools or have taken up career as priests to preside over Hindu ceremonies,’ Pati said.
Take the case of Pundit Trilochan Sadangi. Both his sons and daughter are Sanskrit-educated and are teaching the language in government-run schools.
‘By encouraging our children to learn Sanskrit, we are trying to revive the language. We are largely successful till now and we earnestly hope that our future generations will keep the tradition alive,’ Pati said with a tinge of pride.
The village’s fascination for Sanskrit has not come from the blue, but rather flowed from its rich tradition in Sanskrit learning.
A nearby village Babkarpur has the presence of a miniature temple dedicated to the great poet Kalidas, author of ‘Abhigynam Shakuntalam’ and many other classics, which tells eloquently of the region’s love for the things Sanskrit. -(PTI)
