   Hinduism and Buddhism In Nepal
   By Dirgha Raj Prasai

   The religious structure of Nepalese society is formally Hindu; but here and only here the interplay of peoples and their religious traditions has produced a rich fusion of Hindu and Buddhist faiths. It is common for both Hindus and Buddhists to worship at the same shrine, for many gods and saints are cross-over, often known by a different name but holding the same attributes. The original inhabitants of the valley were animists, a tradition which survives in the multitude of spirits, demons, local deities, and stones which receive dutiful worship to this day. Hindu and Buddhist traditions adapted from the pre-existing animist practices and from each other. Indeed, in the medieval period, when both religions’ practice adopted mystical, Tantrik traditions, they were almost indistinguishable from each other.
   An international scholar Aldous Huxley said-“The oldest aspects of Hindu mythology give place to the most profound and subtle utterances about the nature of ultimate reality, it is in itself a liberal education in humility, tolerance and suspense of judgment.” We can see The Great Wall of China; “the seventh wonders of the world” has a fourteen feet long Sanskrit incantation engraved on the western gate. Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan had written ‘OM Namo! Bhagawati’ including others in the 14th century. The Chinese Great Wall has many syllables from ‘Mahabharata’ written on the doors in Sanskrit language. It is not a common thing that the language was written in Kalipinya letters. Similarly, NEWSWEEK COLUMNIST Ms Lisa Miller says-‘we are all Hindus. The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu scripture, says: “Truth is one, but the sages speak of it by many names.” A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. The most traditional, conservative Christians have not been taught to think like this. They learn in Sunday school that their religion is true, and others are false. Let us all say “OM.” when you chant “OM,” it will resonate not only in the room but down through the ages.’ May 13, 2010 at > http://www.newsweek.com/id/237910
   Nepal’s History and Religions Nepal is a rich and complex mix of different cultures and traditions, melded over thousands of years into a unique whole. For the western traveler there is much that is familiar, and many surprises. Family and religion are of paramount importance, and are constantly reflected throughout the culture. Nepal moves to a different rhythm than the West. The notes here are meant only to tantalize you into visiting this amazing place. We should all aware of the facts that Hindu religion has many enemies. These enemies may try to discredit and malign Hinduism. In south Asia general population is ignorant, and engulfed in blind faith and traditions that are carried over for centuries. It is true that over millennia some people took advantage of this blind faith and traditions to satisfy there own hidden agenda and lust and did harm the local communities. But that is not the case here.
   According to -Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya-‘This world is full of all kinds of human beings. In a nutshell, they can be classified as – gentle, sad, upbeat and scoundrel. We need to treat them according to their type and not the same way. There is an aphorism in Yogadarshana which talks about friendship, compassion, gleefulness and neglect. It explains the need and utility of behavior tailored as per the individual. We should make friendship with gentlemen so that the impact of their virtues benefits us and also a timely good conduct can be expected from them. A feeling of compassion should prevail for the grieving and benighted ones and the efforts to make them overcome the crisis by helping and serving must be driven. At the minimum, sympathy can be shown to them with an endeavor of providing consultation to hold patience and guide them the way to get over the sufferings. We should be glad to see the successful and upbeat people. Progressives deserve at the minimum a gift of appreciation for their skills and dedication which will encourage them further. It inspires others to rise too.
   It’s not possible to fight with evil and rogue forever. Avoid confrontation with everybody coming on the way as fighting with them in an effort to rectify and fix them is next to impossible. At least their misbehavior can be ignored so that the time which was to be used for taking revenge and degrading them can be utilized in creative tasks. Even with all this, at least one must make sure that culprits should be shown the fear of non-cooperation, resistance and conflict otherwise they take our ignorance as an opportunity to dare more. Ignorance should be limited to the extent that the wicked must not get encouraged further. To conduct as per the person’s level is the real workmanship which is called another form of Yoga by the God in the Geeta.
   It can’t be implemented in the behavior literally. It will be very awkward if practiced exactly that way. If revered Gurus and evils/rogues are seated at the same level and worshiped or neglected-condemned the same way then it will look very strange and confusing. This will have bad aftermath effects. A buffalo (in a cart) needs a hit of stick to move whereas a horse starts running with a slight hint of the halter. This is because of the difference in their nature which justifies the riders’ behavior. It’s quite possible to play the tricks of negotiation, money, punishment, divide (Saam, Daam, Danda, Bhed) as per the need. Try the other (or more) tricks if one doesn’t work. The sole purpose is to reform. Hate the sin and not the sinner. This synergistic behavior for the benefit of others is similar to the callousness of a surgeon while operating for good and ethical.’
   A country’s existence and prestige can gradually be eroded by finishing off its faith and belief tradition and culture and the creator of nation. Nepal was worthy to be bowed down by Hindus all over the world. This is the highest honor Nepal could receive from the international community. The conspiracy against oriental Baidik Hindu and Buddha’s culture was started almost 200 years ago from India by East India Company where Lord Macaulay was one of them who succeed to destroy oriental Hindu identities and culture.
   Lumbinī- Nepal is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi district of Nepal, near the Indian border. It is the place where Queen Mayadevi is said to have given birth to Siddhartha Gautam, who as the Buddha founded the Buddhist tradition. Records made by the Chinese pilgrim Fa Xian were also used in the process of identifying this religiously acclaimed site. The holy site of Lumbini has ruins of ancient monasteries, a sacred Bodhi tree, an ancient bathing pond, the Ashoka pillar and the Mayadevi temple. The truth, however is that Buddha was born at Lumbini in present Rupandehi district of western Terai region in Nepal. A fact accepted by UNESCO while providing world heritage status to the place.

   But some so-called leaders are active to minimize Hinduism and dismiss the existence of Buddha. One of the Communist old-leader Mohan Bikram Sing has written that Buddha was burn in Orissa (India) but not in Nepal. (See: Kantipur B.S.2059 Bhadra 19) What is that means? Such antagonistic so-called politicians, some against of Christian are habituated to exploit our national culture, religions and identities. This is the matter of grief for all Nepalese. But, the renowned historian of India and native Orrisan Prof. Karuna Sagar Behera has been quoted as saying “The Buddha was neither born in Orissa nor visited the place during his lifetime”

   ‘An international conservation team has begun work on restoring three endangered monuments at Buddha’s supposed birthplace in southern Nepal, officials said on Tuesday. The team, led by Italian conservation expert Costantino Meucci, will restore the marker stone, nativity sculpture and Ashoka pillar in Lumbini, 250 kilometres (150 miles) southwest of Nepal’s capital Kathmandu. Lumbini, declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997, is visited by Buddhist pilgrims from around the world, and the month-long restoration campaign is funded by the Japanese government. The marker stone is believed to be the exact site of Buddha’s birth while the nativity sculpture is a carving that shows Buddha’s mother holding a tree branch for support during his birth. Gautam Siddhartha, who later became known as Buddha or the Enlightened One, is believed to have been born around 500 BC’ (AFP News-5 Apr.2011)

   Nepal is the pious Hindu and Buddha country in the lap of the Himalayas, which is beautiful, quiet, the birth place of Buddha and origin of Hinduism. Lord Buddha is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Besides being the country of Everest it is equally popular with its diverse cultural values. This is the land where civilization began and is also known as the country of ‘SANGRILA.’ Nepal is as holy place to Hindus & Buddhists, as Mecca for Muslims and Jerusalem to Jews and Christians. To refrain from all evils to do what is good to purify the mind is the message of Lord Buddha. The Hindus and Buddhists have the freedom to pursue their own way of observing the religion. Nepalese nationalism has evolved and been consolidated more through social and cultural exchanges than conflicts. So, to keep intact our sovereignty with our indigenous cultural and traditions, we should follow the path of alertness and humane to maintain the co-existence from all sectors.

   MF Hussain has drawn a painting for the ‘Let Us Make Mumbai Unbreakable’ campaign by the Mumbai police for police welfare fund. As per report in the ‘Times of India’, MF Hussain has told that the Mumbai Police Commissioner himself had called him up and urged for paintings. These paintings are to be auctioned. Same police is investigating (?) cases against Hussain.
   Shocking reports:
   1. The maverick artist received a call about a month ago from Mumbai Police Commissioner AN Roy requesting a painting which would depict the unbreakable spirit of the city. – MF Hussain, Dubai (Source: Times of India)
   2. The pictures will be seen on more than 300 hoardings across the city and the paintings will be auctioned on February 10. – Deputy Commissioner of Police (Administration) Asutosh Dhumbre (Source: Mid-day)
   Questions to the Government:
   1. Will the Police (Home department) allow Mr. Salman Rushdie (Indian author) to campaign for Mumbai Police?
   2. If the Police have to beg to Husain for painting, then will they ever take action against MF Hussain? Is this the reason for the delay in action?
   3. If the Police can contact M.F Husain then how can they site him absconder for not arresting him?
   4. Tomorrow the Police will tie up with criminal Dawood Ibrahim for their welfare.

   Mohamed’s mental state and all have agreed that his symptoms were the same as those of someone who is likely to have done drug abuse. M’s own records of his childhood symptoms such as hearing voices of his ancestors etc. are exact syptoms of taking some breed of Datura. It was widely used in ancient times for practically all things in life from puberty rites to disciplining wayward children,. Muhammad dies while having sex with Aisha. Did he die during foreplay or > while humping 18 year old Aisha? From the Hadith below, we know that he french kissed Aisha by sucking her saliva, and later he met his final destination while sucking Aisha’s big breast. Probably he had a heart attack. You know, old man having sex with young girl. Young girl played rough during sex and dirty old man’s heart couldn’t handle it. Can you see how this dirty old man was acting like a spoiled brat? This hypocrite munafiq commanded you Muslims to be fair to all of your four wives, but he himself could not be fair to his own wives. If he wanted to sleep with Aisha instead of his other wives, why don’t he say so? Why must he ask “Where shall i stay tomorrow? Where shall i stay tomorrow?”
   Did Muhammad manage to say “La Ilaha Illa Allah?” Is there any Hadith to support this? If he did not managed to say “La Ilaha Illa Allah” then probably other Muslims who died after saying “La Ilaha Illa Allah” died a better death than Muhammad. From the Hadith below, it seems that Muhammad did not manage to say “La Ilaha Illa Allah.” Probably he died an atheist saying “La Ilaha” (There is no god). The most evil man in history finally died on June 8, 632 C.E. in Madinah. That explains why he was buried in the room of Aisha. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 144: Narrated `Aisha: that during his fatal ailment, Allah’s Apostle, used to ask his wives, “Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?” He was looking forward to Aisha’s turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at `Aisha’s house till he died there. `Aisha added: He died on the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva was mixed with my saliva. I wonder whether they managed to get rid of Muhammad’s rigor mortis hard-on which is sticking straight up in the air and if they don’t do something, it will look odd at the funeral. That could explain the reason why they waited for 2 days to bury Muhammad. That also explains why he was buried in the room of Aisha.

   This is not ethnic cleansing but religious cleansing. Ethnically we are one people DNA-wise. ~ Swamy.

     Dear Dr. Swamy,

     Your point“This is not ethnic cleansing but religious cleansing. Ethnically we are one people DNA-wise” is though academically correct in parts, but in practice the findings are quite opposite to the theory.

     First of all we may check the matter of Ethnicity.

     An ethnic group is a group of people whose members are identified through a common trait. This can, but does not have to, include an idea of common heritage, a common culture, a shared language or dialect. The group’s ethos or ideology may also stress common ancestry and religion, as opposed to an ethnic minority group which refers to race. The process that results in the emergence of an ethnicity is called ethnogenesis. Some ethnic groups are marked by little more than a common name.

     Again, The terms ethnicity and ethnic group are derived from the Greek word ἔθνος ethnos, normally translated as “nation”. The terms refer currently to people thought to have common ancestry who share a distinctive culture.

     But, the recent meaning emerged in the mid 19th century and expresses the notion of “a people” or “a nation”. The term ethnicity is of 20th century coinage, attested from the 1950s. The term nationality depending on context may either be used synonymously with ethnicity, or synonymously with citizenship (in a sovereign state).

     The modern usage of “ethnic group” further came to reflect the different kinds of encounters industrialised states have had with external groups, such as immigrants and indigenous peoples; “ethnic” thus came to stand in opposition to “national”, to refer to people with distinct cultural identities who, through migration or conquest, had become subject to a state or “nation” with a different cultural mainstream — with the first usage of the term ethnic group in 1935, and entering the Oxford English Dictionary in 1972.

     Now, if we apply our practical knowledge apart from the academic and theoretic concepts, we will find that anything has an Islamic definition after the establishment of Islamic Ummah (Arabic: أمة‎) some 1400 yrs back.
     
     If we claim 1000 times that Muslims torturing upon us, Hindu-Buddhists and others non-Muslims are of one Ethnic group, it will not change the situation of persecutions or we people will never be accepted by them until and unless the non Muslims are converted into Islam.

     Actually, after embracing Islam, any people must cut off their roots, ancestral linage in order to accept an slavery under Arab Imperialism and politics and also follow Arabic Language through Quran and to turn himself a Jihadi for promoting the end of ‘Kufr. Their world is divided in broad spectrum of Momin (Believers) and Kaffirs (Infidels). No concept of bookish ‘ethnic’ matter does not hamper the brutal development of Islam.

     The persecutor Rohigya Muslims have the same DNA, that is common to the persecuted Buddhist-Hindu people in Cox’s Bazar, Chattagram, but these Hindu-Buddhist people are maintained in separate ethnic groups with distinctive religious differences and cannot be same ethnic with Piggy Rohingya Muslim people.

     DNA is not the only determinant of Ethnicity.

     Please don’t clamour much with Same DNA, Same DNA, Same Ethnic People etc. Try to accept the hard reality of Two Nation Theory of Mr. Jinnah. The world is divided into Muslims and Non Muslims and in India it is Hindus and Muslim. No theory of DNA and ethnicity is applicable here.

     I respect your organisational tenacity, anti Gandhi-Nehruvian family motive and anti-corruption attitude. You are attached with various Hindu Personalities like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Baba Ramdev, Mata Amritanandamoyee etc. Plz try to request every concern to arrest/resit the growing Muslim population and Islamic influence upon Indian Politics and society in general. You people believe a RSS song: संगठन गड़े चलो , सुपंथ पर बड़े चलो (grow more with organisation, proceed in right path)…. But, some new lines have been added there like मुसलमान बढ़ाते चलो , नजर उस तरफ मत डालो…..( i.e. help the growth of Muslims and don’t look at that matter).

     This is the real situation. We try to do a little thing for the future of Hindus in a critical Muslim destiny. And they are trying to explore a Bharat in a Muslim majority with population boom. We are simply avoiding this matter.

     Your Harvard certification, Ramdev’s Saffron charisma or the smile of Sri Sri will effect nothing to our drastic doom in near future.

     I want to meet you with some positive proposals. I don’t know if you have any time for us.

     Regards.
