Despite all the above mainstream Hindus fear and fret about
their
religion, with some turning militant to 'protect' their
beliefs.
There are many articles nowadays like the few posted below
that
reflect their state of mind, one that is disturbed and
restless. It
is obvious that the vast majority of Hindus (and other
religious
organizations) will always battle each other for the
salvation of
souls. If only they knew what is actually taking place on
Earth and
how all religions and scriptures are in harmony with the
Divine
Message to humanity.
So despite unsurpassable knowledge of Shakti why do Hindus
fear and
fret? What do Hindus think the Sanatanna Dharma is all
about? Do
these present-day fears reflect their ignorance and
corruption of the
Eternal Dharma? Who can rouse and awaken them up from this
deep
spiritual slumber of Kali Yuga?
They will till they get their self-realization and allow the
Mother
Kundalini to enlighten them with the priceless knowledge and
universal harmony of the Divine Message of the Shakti
brought by Her
incarnation Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. All religions triumph
in
collective harmony in Sahaja Yoga, a far cry from those
battling
each other for supremacy.

"After years of failing to gain substantial converts by
degrading
Hinduism and labeled it as "devil worship" and "heathen
idolatry",
Christian evangelists have invented a new tactic: hijacking
Hinduism.
Pamphlet Distribution: Southern Tamil Nadu
Evangelists use existing elements of Hinduism to misguide
followers
into converting to Christianity. Recently Christian zealots
have
begun claiming that various Vedic Sanskrit slogans were in
praise of
Jesus and not Hindu Gods. Christian propaganda pamphlets and
booklets in circulation especially in and around Madurai
district in
Tamil Nadu also make the ludicrous suggestion that the
revered Swami
Vivekananda had asked the people to worship Jesus. The
pamphlets,
which have been put in circulation by the Madurai-based
Infant Jesus
Hospital (headed by Rev Fr. Caleb), also fraudulently invoke
verses
from the holiest Hindu scripture, the Bhagawad Gita, saying
that
they preach against idol worship. In fact, the pamphlets go
as far
as to decree that 'people should not follow any other faith
other
than Christianity'. The highly inflammatory pamphlets,
delivered by
Christian converts (primarily women), have been appearing at
nearly
in Southern districts of Tamil Nadu in the hopes of
misleading a few
gullible souls."

Row between Hindus in Britain, Royal mail deepens

The row between the Hindus in Britain and the Royal Mail,
over a new
Christmas stamp depicting a Hindu man and woman worshipping
baby
Jesus, has deepened, after the Royal Mail refused to
withdraw the
stamp.
An umbrella body representing 250 Hindu organisations—the
Hindu
Forum of Britain—has demanded the withdrawal of
the ''disrespectful'' stamp. The stamp features a man with
a ''tilak'' on his forehead, identifying him as a Vaishnava
Hindu,
and the woman with traditional ''kumkum'' mark on her
forehead
identifying her as a married Hindu woman. Both are seen
worshipping
an image of baby Christ on the stamp.

American Scholar on Indian Christian Schools - The War
Against
Hinduism

Another way that India is slowly losing its Vedic culture is
through
the process of secular or English and Christian education.
Of
course, in public schools all Vedic books have been removed
from the
curriculum. So there are no possibilities to study the
ancient
Indian literature or art. Thus Vedic values are no longer
part of
what the children are taught. Furthermore, the Christian
schools,
often staffed by Christian missionaries, can teach Christian
values
in their classes, and include a short study of the Bible
everyday,
or of a Koran if it's an Islamic school. The so-called
secular
government has even helped them with free land and
facilities.
Since these schools offer English in their education, along
with
good discipline, many of the middle classes of Indians are
favouring
sending the children to these schools. Today, in the Indian
cities,
many parents of today's children are the graduates of
Christian
schools, who also send their own children to such schools.
As this
trend continues, there will be a decreasing number of Hindus
in the
educated sector. Thus, children in India, with the help of
the
secular government, are learning Christian values and
perceiving
their own history and culture as something less than
honourable.
They are taught that such important books as the Bhagavad
Gita,
Ramayana, Bhagavat Purana and other Vedic texts are nothing
more
than mythology, and not a reuslt of one of the most profound
civilisations of the world. They are also taught that their
own God
is but a demon and the only real way to God is through
Jesus.

Dear Jagbir et all,
Reading the articles on Christian aggression towards Muslims
and Hindus is a
real eye-opener and at least this is being exposed and
written about, so that we can all see what is happening.
The tactics used by the Christian aggressors is
non-Christian to say the least. Jesus never used such
tactics. He only Loved Others and Helped Others to discover
the Kingdom of God within themselves, though many could not
understand this Kingdom of God that is inside a person. They
were looking for a Kingdom of God outside of themselves.
Jesus also said a Comforter would come to explain more about
the Kingdom of God within and She has come; Shri Mataji
Nirmala Devi. i know of no other person on Earth who has
taught with the simplicity and directness and love of Her
Holiness, who has also given us the Second Birth that was
promised by Jesus that the Holy Spirit/Comforter would do.
Shri Mataji has fulfilled all this.
Fundamentalist Christians who want the Baptism of this Holy
Spirit, rather than just the 'rite of Baptism' are going to
have to accept the basic tenets of all religions as these
agree with each other and God's Truth cannot be divided. We
have all heard of the 10 Commandments. According to Jesus,
if you "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you",
you will be following the 10 Commandments. i would say that
the Christian aggressors are not following the 10
Commandments as they are doing to the Muslims and Hindus
what they would not want done to themselves.
We are fortunate that Shri Mataji has come to set the record
straight. That
record, for any Fundamentalist Christian Readers of this
Forum, is that all the original sayings/teachings of the
Prophets and Incarnations such as Shri
Mohammed, Shri Jesus, Shri Buddha, Shri Krishna and others
agree with each other. We are now to Integrate and Relate
all the agreed
teachings/understandings of all these Prophets/Incarnations.
Proselytising is
the opposite; a tactic of 'divide-and-conquer' and actually
an unChristian thing to do, which Jesus would never have
done. Jesus while on Earth (during those so-called Lost
Years) it now turns out, actually travelled to different
countries and studied all other Scriptures, such as Hindu,
Buddhist and others and became a Master of these.
Yes, Fundamentalist Christians have to get out of their rut,
like i did (being
born into a Fundamentalist Christian family) and realize the
Oneness of All
Prophets and Incarnations sent by God on Earth. All that
Fundamentalist
Christians actually need to do is just to open their
spiritual eyes and realize
that there are religions older than Christianity which are
also true religions
formed by Enlightened Beings sent by God to enlighten
humanity and actually
start to study and try and imbibe the similarities rather
than try and find
every difference, because Fundamentally all these religions
agree, but
Fundamentalist Christians have somehow missed or not
realized this 'Fundamental'
Truth.
