The incomplete teaching of the Quran

Monday, November 20, 2006 The incomplete teaching of the Quran I am provoked to write this because I see that Muslims are not stopping at quoting just from the Quran to prove that there is only one God but are turning to Hindu scriptures and quoting out of context to sustain their theory. (The context of all Hindu scriptures is the discovery of our own divine self.) Muslims appear to be unable to go beyond the incomplete teaching of the Quran that there is only one God. I say incomplete because instead of religion being a teaching to enable the practitioner to discover the divine or the spiritual within oneself and as one's true self, as is what religions teach in the Hindu culture, the Semitic culture of religions, which includes the Christian and Islamic religions, are more interested in testifying that there is only one God, as if acceptance of this would be the be all and end all of religion. No Hindu religious scripture says that there is only one God and promptly names the God to be so and so or the God to be the one who sent his only son down onto earth etc. When Hindu scriptures say that there is one God is it only saying that Truth is one and seeks thereby to say that its various expressions are not any separate from the one Truth - even as we are not separate from that one Truth. The irony is that the Muslim who parrots that there is only one God says he is not an idol worshipper, without understanding that when you separate God from yourself, you are in effect doing nothing but making an idol of God. Only the Hindu religion leads man from idol worship, which is the beginning of his religious journey, to the destination of his journey, which is the discovery of himself as that which he was thus far worshiping, thereby ending idol worship with the end of the dichotomy of the worshipper and the worshipped. 9:07:38 PM Posted By Venu Gopal Comments (2) Uncategorized Comments iyer53 Monday, November 20, 2006 9:37:16 PM Hinduism is a way of life and not a religion.First you understand that before comparing other religions with hinduism K. Venugopal Monday, November 20, 2006 10:12:08 PM For the Hindu Hinduism may be a way of life. But Hinduism itself, as expressed in its scriptures and myriad other ways, are teachings that take you to your divinity. Such teachings are called religions. Hinduism is a culture of religions.

Friday, November 17, 2006 Here's more on Bhavishya Purana and Mohammad Bhavishya Purana has also this to say of Mohammad. Here it says that Mohammad took part in worship of Lord Shiva. Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the dynasty of king Shalivahana, there were ten kings who went to the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500 years. Then gradually the morality declined on the earth. At that time Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions of his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas, shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He punished them and collected a large ammount of wealth. Then the king went along with Mahamada (Mohammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. After he offered some prayers and pleased him. Bhavishya Purana can be confusing. Here Mohammad is called an illusionist. But Bhojaraja's military chief is not impressed and threatens to kill Mohammad. Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura, whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahaoda and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the king came back to his country and Mahamada came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada, “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest..." Here, Islam is called an Adharmic religion. That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja and said: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish another religion by the order of the Lord. The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be cruel, make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman. Thus the adharmic religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back to his palace and that ghost went back to his place. Here the prediction is that the Muslims will be kept on the other side of the Sindhu. Alas, this did not come true! The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the language of Sanskrit in three varnas - the brahmanas, kshatriyas and vaisyas - and for the shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common men. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet. The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods. The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu. Here the spread of Islam is indicated. "Managed by a king or demigods." Alas, no democracy! On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of Isamsiha were also situated as they were managed by a king or demigods.
