1. When Rohingyas Mass Murdered Hindus

Yes you heard it right. They are not the most persecuted minority of the world. They are capable of fighting guerilla wars against military states like Myanmar.

And they brutally eliminate non-Muslim minorities wherever they come to rule.

1. Hindu Iconography and Knowledge Distribution in Ancient India

Hindu Iconography is a reservoir of powerful symbols. Symbols lead to meaning. Meaning leads to an understanding of Truth. But looking at this ancient process, we also realize a great truth about our society.

2. Just like Vaikhari in language is incapable of expressing the Ultimate Truth, Symbols in themselves are incapable of conveying the Divine Truth about the Supreme Consciousness. They are a ladder to a great meaning and realization.

3. But just as our ṛṣis created a language, Sanskrit, which could most closely approximate the Ultimate Truth and lead the devotees towards it, similarly in Hindu iconography, mudrā and poses were invented by the ṛṣis to lead the devotee towards the path of Self Realization.

4. This symbolism is first codified in the Natyashastra but then many texts expand it into the most elaborate iconography that the world has ever seen. mudrā, hasta and bhaṇga convey the meaning of the poses that the body takes.

5. The symbolism of the āyudha that the deities hold in their hands makes the symbolism richer and more complete. Their āsana and decorations make the meaning richer and more beautiful.

1. Is Śiva really Bholenātha?

A commong sight during Sāvana ke Somvāra in north India is Hindu women offering Bilva Patra to Śiva liṇga at the nearby temple, offering jala & other offerings directly to Śiva liṇga by touching it directly or a long time.

2. There is scarcely any rule to this offering of pūjā. Women in sārī, suit and even western clothes offer everything they have brought with them directly to Śiva: milk, water, kumkum, haldī, bilva patra, sweets, fruits and much more with priest just managing the proceedings.

3. There is often a queue-less, order-less jumble of acts, sights and sounds in which women of all ages jostle with men and boys of all ages to reach the ‘pinḍī’, the Śiva liṇga and offer the pūjā.

4. Most people from the south, following tradition, where āgamas are still a working reality, at least in temples, and where many people follow caryā are offended, and not without reason.

Śiva also have rules of worship and approach, as other deities.

5. Śiva temple, like others requires certain rituals and customs which are inviolable. Śiva, like other deities, requires certain caryā from his devotees and thus cannot be just taken any way the devotees want. It is true that there is a way to approach him like any other deity.

1. Do Islamists prize Muslim lives?

Hindu Society Under Siege – 2

Do ‘Muslim Lives Matter’ in greater scheme of Islam? Sita Ram Goel had an answer. In a country like India: ‘Islamism has evolved a strategy in which the Muslims of India are envisaged as a base and an arsenal’.

2. Individual Muslim lives are seen by their ideologues and leaders as cannon fodder for the conquest of India. Some salient features of this strategy can be outlined as follows: (all quotes are from Sita Ram Goel’s book ‘Hindu Society Under Siege’)

#ArrestPratikSinha

3. “(a) The Muslims of India should be sealed off from every shade of rationalism, universalism, humanism and liberalism, and an army of mullahs and maulvis trained in the tenets of Islam should be let loose to brainwash and keep them along the right (Islamic) track;”

4. “(b) Every Muslim who doesn’t accept Islamism or dares criticize it or stands for the mainstream of Indian nationalism, away from & above religious differences, should be denounced as a renegade and a legitimate victim for murderous Muslim mobs” (remember the Maharashtra boy?)

5. “(c) The Muslims should be encouraged to air as many grievances as can be invented, and try to pass off as a down-trodden minority, oppressed, exploited and treated as second class citizens by the brute Hindu majority;”

1. How Christianity created the lethal blend of Prophetic Monotheism

Hindu View of Christianity and Islam – Part 2

Shri Ram Swarup explains how the lethal blend of Prophetic Monotheism was created by Christianity. Judaism wasn't particular on conversion. Christianity added it.

2. Jesus started his career by trying to become a Jewish prophet. The initial times are marked by his words which seek audience only in Jews. It was only when Jews considered him dangerous enough to bring Roman ire on Israel that he turned his attention to Gentiles.

3. Gentiles were the pagans of Israel/ Palestine of those times. And this change of audience in attention from Jews (monotheistic people) to Gentiles (pagan people) has its marks on the character of Christianity, mainly in the things that it borrowed from both cultures.

4. From Messiah to Savior

"Jesus himself was converted from a Messiah into a Saviour, into God's First Begotten Son, the Intermediary between God and man. This indeed was a great leap and a great promotion from the humble figure of a Jewish Messiah."

5. Jesus's story is sold as a unique happening in the history of mankind. But that’s false. When Christianity was born there were too many saviors around. Mithras, a Persian god, famous in Roman Empire had a story too similar to Jesus. (All quotes are Shri Ram Swarup’s words)

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7

As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7

Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.
