  • Hinduism Sanatana Dharma A Black Hole ?

    I received an interesting comment for my Post ‘Shiva Linga In Mecca, OM Is 786?‘

    Principles of Sanatana Dharma, jpg
    Principles of Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism

    I am quoting it below.

    ”

    But isn’t Hinduism a derivative of Buddhism and Jainism?… don’t you think Hinduism is just a black hole constantly changing and sucking in everything around and changing according to the geography and beliefs…. being purely pagan in its birth and then realizes knowledge and starts to adapt and reform around peoples beliefs?….

    I am an amateur in my history of religion but it has always intrigued me.,… Hinduism i thought purely was a way of life….not a religion, that over the millenniums changed like Chinese whisper from location to location…. so much so there’s a depiction of Jesus Christ idol in a temple in Tamil Nadu.

    I am not religious at all, because of what humans have turned GOD into…. but i am intrigued at our ways to story tell that has changed to belief over thousands of years…. Some where out there is the truth, but we can all only have an opinion of it…”

    Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma is not a derivative of Jainism or Buddhism.

    Jainism came later to Sanatna Dharma nd Buddhism later.

    It is the other way around… Hinduism in the sense that  while these two systems do not believe in the authority of Vedas,

    hence called Nastika System, believe in Karma theory, Moksha called Nirvana and Rebirth.

    Jainism is a strict follower of the Ethics of the Vedas more than the Vedas in emphasizing Truth, righteousness.

    Buddhism reaches th Stage of Advaita but falls short of it by declaring the Reality as Sunya, Zero, Nihilism.

    So much is Buddhism similar to the Advaita of Adi Shankaracharya that He was accused of being a Pseudo-Buddhist!

    These systems which decried the excessive rituals( Justifiably so) of Sanatana dharma ended up with Rituals.

    They decried idol worship, landed in worshiping The Tirthankara, Mahavira and Buddha!

    Yes, to an extent the statement that Hinduism is like a Black hole is true, it sucks the best out of every system and assimilates it.

    The reason is that while other religions were founded , had a founder and an intention to have followers.

    Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma was not founded by any one nor does it have a rigid text to follow.

    It observes Life, tries out various methods to face life and after life and presents them all.

    One can take any thing out of it and discard what does not suit him/her.

    It is based on experience and intuition along with Reason .

    It listens , never dogmatic.

    By assimilating what is best it consumes other religions with out a fight for it is after Truth, what ever be the source.

    Let noble thoughts reach my ears from everywhere-Rig Veda.

    Bhatram Karnobhi Srunuyaama Deva

    Yet one point to be noted is that it precedes all religions as evidenced by archeology, astronomy, etymology of Sanskrit and Tamil

    When one starts questioning other religions, one does not get as authentic proof as in Hinduism.

    Rama, Krishna, Ravana, Mahabharata,Ramayana, Agastya, Shiva ,Parashurama, ..all of them have left trails that can be verified.

    If one were to ask fundamental questions as to what was before Christianity you get Judaism.

    For Judaism, Sanatana Dharma.

    For Islam the History of the middle east just  before Prophet has been erased to such an extent that one lands with Sumerian civilisation.Minoan!

    The traces of Hinduism are found in Islam , Sumeria, Minoan civilization, Mayas, Incas,Polynesian Religions;

    World languages trace their origins to Sanskrit and Tamil.

    One finds evidence of Sanatana Dharma and Tamil, which is /was a part of Santaana Dharma,

    In,

    Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia,japan, Korea, New Zealand, Fiji, Mauritius, Australia,Oman, Saudi Arabia,Romania, Bulgaria, Germany,Ireland,England, Denmark,France,Greece,Egypt, Africa, Peru, Chile, US, ….

    Yes Hinduism is like a Black hole it that it is so vast one finds it difficult to comprehend it!

  • Indra’s Father Dyaus Indra In World Religions

    Many of us know the barest details of Indra, the chief of the Devathas of Hinduism.

    That he was the father of Arjuna, husband of Indrani,wields Thundebolt, induced Rains in Govardhana Giri,has Vajrayudha ,rides the elephant Airavatha, his Post of Indra changes every Manvantrara and of his infamous episode involving Ahalya.

    That’s about all.

    Indra, atop the Airavatha Elephant,Angkorvat.

    But it may be of interest to know that Indra was one of the earliest Vedic Deities mentioned in th Rigveda.

    Hs father was Dayus and other Savasi.

    The name Dayus is being used by the western scholars to spread a canard to disseminate information under the guise of Research papers stating that there was  Proto-Indo-European or Graeco-Aryan language group and there was a tribe in the Caucasus called Aryans who entered India!

    I shall be calling off this bluff in another post.

    Indra (Indara) is also mentioned among the gods of the Mitanni, a Hurrian-speaking people who ruled northern Syria from ca.1500BC-1300BC.

    The attributes of Zeus of the Greeks and Indra are identical.

    Vedic Indra corresponds to Verethragna of the Zoroastrian Avesta as the noun verethragna- corresponds to Vedic vrtrahan-, which is predominantly an epithet of Indra.

    *According to Anthony, the Old Indic religion probably emerged among Indo-European immigrants in the contact zone between the Zeravshan River (present-day Uzbekistan) and (present-day) Iran*. It was “a syncretic mixture of old Central Asian and new Indo-European elements”, which borrowed “distinctive religious beliefs and practices” from the Bactria–Margiana Culture. At least 383 non-Indo-European words were borrowed from this culture, including the god Indra and the ritual drink Soma.According to Anthony,

    *I contest this claim and I shall be repudiating this point in another Post.

    He under whose supreme control are horses, all chariots, the villages, and cattle;
    He who gave being to the Sun and Morning, who leads the waters, He, O men, is Indra. ( Rig Veda 2.12.7, trans. Griffith)

    It further states,

    Indra, you lifted up the pariah who was oppressed, you glorified the blind and the lame. (Rg-Veda 2:13:12)

    Indra is, with Varuna and Mitra, one of the Ādityas, the chief gods of the Rigveda (besides Agni and others such as the Ashvins). He delights in drinking soma and the centralVedic myth is his heroic defeat of Vṛtrá, liberating the rivers, or alternatively, his smashing of the Vala cave, a stone enclosure where the Panis had imprisoned the cows that are habitually identified with Ushas, the dawn(s). He is the god of war, smashing the stone fortresses of the Dasyu, but he is also is invoked by combatants on both sides in the  Battle of the Ten Kings.

    ..The Rig-Veda frequently refers to him as Śakra: the mighty-one. In the Vedic period, the number of gods was assumed to be thirty-three and Indra was their lord. (Some early post Rigvedic texts such as the Khilas and the late Vedic Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad enumerates the gods as the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra, and Prajapati). As lord of the Vasus, Indra was also referred to as Vāsava.

    In Rigveda, Indra the solar god is sometimes described as golden-bodied with golden jaw, nails, hair, beard.

    One Atharva Vedic verse reads, “In Indra are set fast all forms of golden hue.”

    In the RV 1.65 reads, “SAKRA, who is the purifier (of his worshipers), and well-skilled in horses, who is wonderful and golden-bodied.”Rigveda also reads that Indra “is the dancing god who, clothed in perfumed garments, golden-cheeked rides his golden cart.” One passage calls him both brown and yellow. “Him with the fleece they purify, brown, golden-hued, beloved of all, Who with exhilarating juice goes forth to all the deities”:

    With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his golden beard. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wood.

    —Rig Veda, Book 10, Hymn XXIII, P. 4

    At the swift draught the Soma-drinker waxed in might, the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair.

    The 14 Indras .

    Manvatara/Manu Indra
    Svayambhuva Yajna (Avatar of Vishnu)
    Swarochish Vipaschit
    Uttam Sushaanti
    Taamas Shibi
    Raivat Vibhu
    Chaakshush Manojav
    Shraaddhdev Purandar (the present Indra)
    Savarni Bali
    Daksha Saavarni Adbhut
    Brahma Saavarni Shanti
    Dharma Saavarni Vish
    Rudraputra Saavarni Ritudhaama
    Ruchi (Deva Saavarni) Devaspati
    Bhaum (Indra Saavarni) Suchi

    While the battle between Indra and Vritra is included in the Avesta, the Zoroastrian holy book, Zoroastrianism takes a much different interpretation of Indra’s character. Rather than venerating Indra as the supreme embodiment of good, Zoroastrianism instead claims Indra to be the leader of “false gods” (which refers to virtually all gods other than Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism). These beings are equated with demons. In the Vendidad, the most recent of the texts within the Avesta, Indra is identified as one of the six chief demons that are seen to stand opposite the six Amesha Spentas, spirits which put in place the benevolent will of Ahura Mazda.Vendidad 10.9 explains that Indra is the direct enemy of Asha Vahishta, who personifies the aspect of asha/rta or Truth. Thus, Indra is the opponent of order, truth, and righteousness. Similarly, in the Denkard, a ninth-century Middle Persian text, Indra is the arch-demon that “is the spirit of apostasy and further deceives the worldly existence of mankind” (9.3). In the Bundahishn, a Zoroastrian account of creation, Indra “freezes the minds of the creatures from practicing righteousness just like much frozen snow. He instills this into the minds of men that they ought not to have the sacred shirt and thread girdle” (27.6). The shirt and girdle are garments that must be worn by all devout Zoroastrians, thus Indra stands in diametric opposition to one of the indispensable aspects of the Zoroastrian faith. Atfrashokereti, the eschatological regeneration of good within the universe, it is said that Indra will be defeated by Asha Vahishta (34.27).

    In the mythology and iconography of Indra that arose after the Vedas in the heterodox Indian schools of Buddhism and Jainism, Indra retained his role as chief of the gods. Although Jainism is non-theist, it is Indra who awards Jain founder Mahavira with a golden robe during his earthly life, and later welcomes him into heaven upon his death. Buddhists also acknowledge Indra as the original leader of the Devas, ruler of the heaven of the Thirty-three gods. All in all, Indra is rarely referred to in Buddhist texts, and when he is it is either as a minor deity (a lord of the yakṣas, for instance), or as the object of worship of the Brahmins.

    Sikhs believe that there is only one god without question. However, the Gurus still mention numerous Hindu deities in the Guru Granth Sahib, including Indra. Bhagat Kabir Ji, whose hymns are found in Guru Granth Sahib Ji, mentions Indra among other Hindu gods: “Beings like Hanumaan, Garura, Indra the king of the gods and the rulers of humans—none of them know Your Glories, Lord” (Ragg Dhanaasree, Panna 691.2). Passages such as this illustrate the Sikh belief that although Indra and other personalistic dieties have been meditated upon by the minds of humans for thousands of years, they merely as a function of maya and do not allow for full a complete understanding of the one supreme God. Although the Sikhs do not worship Indra specifically, his name also appears as a part of many Sikh compound names as the ending “inder.” This ending represents the strength and virility in battle that Indra embodies, and can be used by both males and females.

  • Krishna’s Cousin Arishtanemi Jain Tirthankara In Veda

    Lord Krishna’s Cousin Arishtanemi is a Tirthankara of Jainism!

    Lord Krishna as a child.Image.jpg
    Krishna as a child

    Arishtanemi is also called as Neminatha.

    He is the twenty-second Thirthankara .

    Tirthankara means one who helps to cross over, creates a Passage.

    Life is considered to be an Ocean of pain, it is called Samsara.

    Tirthankara is one who has crossed over the Cycle of Birth and death.

    They create the path for those who follow them.

    There are Twenty four Tirthankaras, Vardhamana Mahavira being the Twenty Fourth

    More Tirthankara will manifest in future.

    Buddhism and Jainism are two great religions of India and Jainism precedes Buddhism.

    These  two Religions are nastika systems of Indian Thought.

    Nastika means one that does not belive in the authority of the Vedas.

    We may call these systems as Heterodox.

    Jains have excellent system of Logic.

    And their Ethical system is very stringent.

    I shall be posting on Jainism in detail shortly.

    Lord Krishna’s Cousin Arishtanemi was a Jain Tirthankara,  a counterpart of Lord Krishna,a Maha Purusha.

    Arishtanemi, (Neminatha) Twenty second Tirthankara Sculpture,Image.jpg
    Arishtanemi, (Neminatha) Twenty second Tirthankara of Jainism

     

    “The Tirthankaras, along with 12 cakravartins (“world conquerors”), nine vasudevas (counterparts of Vasudeva, the patronymic of Krishna), and nine baladevas (counterparts of Balarama, the elder half-brother of Krishna), constitute the 54 mahapurusas (“great souls”), to which were later added nine prativasudevas(enemies of the vasudevas). Other, more minor, figures include nine naradas (counterparts of the deity Narada, the messenger between gods and humans), 11 rudras (counterparts of the Vedic god Rudra, from whom Siva is said to have evolved), and 24 kamadevas (gods of love), all of which show Hindu influences. There are also four groups of gods, the bhavanavasis (gods of the house), the vyantaras (intermediaries), the jyotiskas(luminaries), and the vaimanikas (astral gods). These deities were assimilated from ancient Indian folk religion.”

    Note the Vasus, Rudras and Adityas.

    My detailed post follows on this.

    “Arishtanemi is a legendary figure. Said to have lived 84,000 years before the coming of the next Tirthankara, Parshvanatha, he is believed to have been the contemporary and cousin of the Hindu god Krishna. Legend holds that on his wedding day, Arishtanemi heard the cries of animals being slaughtered for the marriage feast and immediately renounced the world. The name Arishtanemi (“the rim [nemi] of whose wheel is unhurt [arishta]”) is attributed to a dream his mother had before he was born in which she saw a wheel of black jewels. In paintings of the Shvetambara sect, Arishtanemi always appears black (in paintings of the Digambara sect, he is blue). His symbol is the conch. According to Jain belief, he attained moksha (release from earthly existence) on the Girnar Hills in Kathiawar (in western India), which has become a place of pilgrimage for Jains.

     

    wait, we have some thing more intersting.

    The Vedas refer to Aritanemi in Svasti Vachana.

    Svasti vachana is rendered at the conclusion of an auspicious occasion, to Bless by Auspicious words.

    ‘HARI OM SVASTI NA INDRO VRIDDHA SHRAVAAH,
    SVASTI NA POOSHAAH VISHVA VEDAAH,

    SVASTI NA ANTARIKSHYO ARISHTA NEMI,-Yajur Veda

  • List Of 308 Castes In Islam Indian Muslims

    Hinduism is vilified for its Caste Divisions.

    Caste is some thing that can not be wished away in a Human being however enlightened one pretends to be.

    For my views on Caste please refer my post caste, under Hinduism.

    Religions that make fun of idol worship have landed in worshiping idols.

    Islam, The Kaaba,Prophet’s hair,Hazratbal

    Christianity, Jesus, The Cross.

    Buddhism, The Buddha, His teeth.

    Jainism, Bhaubali, Mahaveera.

    Hinduism understands that human mind can not function and focus in a vacuum and hence recommended Idol worship, though in higher philosophy of Hinduism, Idol worship is discouraged.

    Please read my articles on this.

  • Thanksgiving Rishi Panchami

    India is land of Rishis, Seers who were not only the people with a deep bent of spirituality but also social reformers and Law givers.

    There are seven great Rishis though there are many more,

    These are called Saptha Rishis (Seven Rishis).

    These seven for the present Kali Yuga are,

    Atri, Bhrigu,Kuthsa,Vasihsta,Gauthama,Kasyapa and Angirasa.

    They are represented in the Great bear Constellation.

    Please read my post Rishis a Timeline.

    They have given great mantras for the society and set standards of behavior , selfless in their discharging their duties with a fair sense of Justice.

    To commemorate their memory Rishi Panchami is celebrated.

    Rishi Panchami.jpg.
    Rishi Panhami Celebration.

    This falls on the next day after Ganesh Chaturthi every year on Panchami.

    This day is devoted vrata , Vow.

    Women visit river or any water storage in the afternoon, take cow dung with them, clean their teeth with medicinal herbal stick, take cold-water bath.

    They arrange the idol of Saptarshi on small wooden platform in the form of seven betenuts and perform pooja.

    On this day they should eat only those fruits, which grow below the earth (soil) and strictly avoid eating any eatables, which are prepared from the grains grown from the toiling of bullocks.

    ‘Aghada’ is one such plant, which has many medicinal uses.

    This is grown in Ashadha and Shravana months.

    In Bhadrapada it becomes full-fledged and its medicinal instincts are prominently noticed in the same month.

    The Jains regard this a very important day.

    Among them, the followers of Shwetambar cult end their Parjushan Maha Parva on this day and the others following Digambar cult, start their Maha Parva from this day.

    ‘Rhushabhadeva’ was the first and the most sacred Teerthankar as per the Jains.

    He is known as Aadinath also. ‘Rishi Panchami’ day is observed in the name of this Aadinath. The motive of such observance between the Hindus and the Jains is the same.
