VEDIC INDIA AND HER RICHES
Welcome to the blog that'll take you to an enlightening tour of Vedic India, her factual history, Religion & Culture; invaluable riches, food & more. Watch Bharat Varsh from a seeker's eye..
RELIGIOUS INVASION OF INDIA. 2.
Do Indians sometime wonder why the whole world is suddenly concerned about them and why are the Indian Deities, saints, long eliminated sati traditions, the RSS etc, the subject of focus internationally?тАи Well-planned move of US with its NATO allies & Churches fund Evangelicals, NGOs, 5th column, educational establishments, and Islamic Jihadi allies to destabilise India. US which played a role in Destabilising IndiaтАЩs North East, has redoubled efforts all the way to its Southern states and their coastlines.
A special task-force was formed to analyse
Hindus as a target & to device strategies to
convert them, met in Thailand in 1980 and
in its report,
тАШThe Thailand Report on HindusтАЩ,
classified Hindus in different target
segments, a strategic plan using
corporate marketing approach,
SWOT
(Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats).
тАи
Music & Dance are one spiritual art, an integral yoga & science of harmony, impossible to separate from its essential background, the Vedic Dharma. According to The Vedas, The Divine mother Vak (Vag Devi) sang whole creation into being, The тАШPara ShaktiтАЩ (Eternal life-force) assumed the eternal causal sound тАШNadaтАЩ through monosyllabic sound OM (Pranav)
Shiva (Natraj) dances and weaves the Rhythm of the universe, including in it divine creation, preservation, regeneration, veiling & benediction. Bharat Natyam is based on Hindu cosmologyтАЩs cycles of birth-sustenance- dissolution; its origin is traced to the reference of dance in The Vedas, formalised even before Bharat Rishi wrote Natya Shashtra in 2nd century BCE. The performing arts were positioned as spiritual practices for the general public and those who lacked the aptitude to access the scriptures.тАи
VEDIC TRADITIONS TARGETED BY MISSIONARIES FOR APPROPRIATION TO CREATE CONFUSION
KALAKI KAVERI College of Fine Arts founded by a catholic priest in 1977, (has overseas branches) funded as a major Church campaign, offers тАШoff campus degree program in Bharat NatyamтАЩ. Its website shows Dr. BarbozaтАЩs (has Christianised the Bharat Natyam) тАШChristian MudrasтАЩ as Bharat Natyam mudras. Christianising Bharat Natyam, Dr. Barboza has invented Christian mudras:
God the Father,
Son of God,
The Holy Spirit,
The Risen Christ,
Mother Mary,
The Cross,
Madonna,
The Church,
The word of God
2 postures,
Crucification &
The Risen Christ.тАи
Its website contains a passage from its 25th anniversary handbook, тАШResurgenceтАЩ, which reveals тАШthe time tested Christian technique of first praising Indian spirituality and then mapping it to Christian equivalentsтАЩ.
KALAIRANI NATYA SAALAI, Maryland, USA, founded by RANI DAVID, blatantly reveals her contempt of Hindu symbols of Bharat Natyam in its website. Proud of her association with Father Barboza, she wants to make Bharat Natyam non- Hindu. Rani David innovated & staged a 2 hour program, тАШYesu, Yesu, YesuтАЩ in Maryland & took it to many parts of USA.
DHARAMA DEEPIKA, a missionary research journal published by Mylapore Institute of Indigenous Studies, an evangelical institution, printed an article in 2000, projecting the 'Prajapati (in Purush Hym Rig Ved), a prophetic revelation about the atoning sacriXices of Jesus Christ, showing Prajapati as the Vedic prophecy of Jesus Christ', thus тАШJesus Christ is the real PrajapatiтАЩ.
The same year, another evangelical group in Chennai, with recent converts launched a dance-drama titled 'Prajapati', which has become an aggressive proselytising device near important pilgrim centres as Rameshwaram and Kanchipuram.
One Chennai based evangelist named Chellappa, describes himself as a sadhu and runs an organisation called Agni Ministries, named after Vedic Deity.
KALAKHSHETRA, an institution founded by Rukmini Arundale with stress on Hindu spiritual roots of Bharat Natyam, was captured by evangelists LEELA SAMPSON as the new director in 2005. Most of the Vinayaka images were removed, prayers of the Deity were stopped, clothes adorning the Deities were removed, she claimed that Kalakshetra never had idols that were worshipped. In 2006 she stopped the participation of Kalakshetra students in the inaugural function of тАШhealth and blissтАЩ, a religious course being conducted by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, saying, тАЬthis function is concerned with Hindu religion, kalakshetra need not participate in it.тАЭ
CHRISTIANISING HINDU CULTURE
Some examples of the manner in which Hindu festivals are being Christianised as the St Thomas mythology becomes entrenched.тАиSouth Indians initiate their children into literacy on Vijaydashmi, the tenth day of Navratri. In 2008, a parallel function was organised to imitate the Hindu ritual within the Christian context, Christians also initiate their children in to literacy on the same day now.
This encouraged the clergy at St. Baselieus Church in Kottayam and in 2009 they claimed that Vijaydashmi had a Christian historical background because that is when Jehovah enlightened Jesus with knowledge. In this version Saraswati Devi has been replaced with St. Paul and Lakshmi Devi with Sebastian. The clergy further claimed that Maha Shivratri is the corrupted version of the Messiah Night, when Jesus wanted his disciples to keep eternal vigil.
UNDER THE GUISE OF ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP Information-gathering is also carried out by mainstream academic institutions, under the guise of academic scholarship. European evangelical mission to India have also forged a network of academic-activist-evangelical institutional ties in Europe and US.
ROLES OF ACADEMIC NETWORK
HARVARD
Western scholars launched projects to identify numerous linguistic fragments within India. Recently, the focus shifted from Dravidian to Munda as the тАШoriginal nativesтАЩ to create ever smaller group identities, consequences are visible as conflicts due to fragmentation. Maoist militancy region in central India is where this work has focused for the past two decades.
YALE
UniversityтАЩs project of a Dravidian Etymological Dictionary served as a geopolitical tool to boost Dravidian identity politics.
OXFORD-YALE
The Dravidian etymological dictionary compiled by Murray Branson Emenaeu (1904-2005) of Yale University and Thomas Barnson (1909-86) of Oxford University, was a landmark in the development of separatist Dravidian Ideology. They claimed that Dravidian languages were older than Sanskrit and that Sanskrit appropriated the Dravidian vocabulary. Yale University nurtured Dravidian politician, C.N. Annadurai, Tamil Nadu CM1967-69, who helped found the DMK, a political party with separatist belief.
Scholars who rejected the Aryan-Dravidian theory were sidelined in the academy and Tamil circles resulting in establishing Western theories of Aryans having colonies South India, subjugating its original inhabitants.
THE BERKLEY TAMIL CHAIR
The University of California at Berkley in 1996 launched a Tamil Chair, where scholars have created tension between Tamil and Indian literature, every small distinction exaggerated whereas common elements that unify the country are explained as Brahmin manipulation.
The first visiting professor to Berkley was Ilakkuvanar Maraimalai from Chennai, whose articles feature topics like, тАШI love AmericaтАЩ, тАШSexual assault on Christian nuns in IndiaтАЩ.тАиAnother guest Norman Cutler of the University of Chicago, whose work is believed to have opened up for US policy makers, тАШAn India that does not speak HindiтАЩ.
BTI
Boston Theological Institute is a consortium of nine institutions based in the US to тАШadvance the unity of the ChurchтАЩ.
FeTNA
The Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America, calls itself, a literary, educational, cultural, charitable organisation and uses its academic links to spread demonic images of Indian society, with the help of Tamil Nadu based Dalit activities. FeTNA has been accused of supporting LTTE, one of its former director was arrested by the FBI for trying to bribe US ofXicials in order to lift the ban on LTTE.
The Free University of Amsterdam was started as the Xirst Protestant university in Netherlands in 1880. It has links with GURUKUL LUTHERAN THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE in Chennai.
UPPSALA
University in Sweden, offers a research course, тАШMission archives and approaches to the study of Christian Churches in IndiaтАЩ. There conferences have featured topics like, тАШHindutva as a political religionтАЩ, the goal is to educate policy makers, academics, missionaries, about the opponents of proselytisation and the strategies that must be developed to establish Christianity across India.
THE ISLAMIC TINT
Various Islamic advocacy groups in the US nurture such scholars, provide mechanism to bring them together with afXiliates in India, for example IMC (the Indian Muslim Council), a US based advocacy group for Indian Muslims. IMCтАЩs high proXile conferences have included keynote speakers, Lisa McKean, John Conyers. At IMCтАЩs 2008 conference in the US Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka, highlighted the тАШoppression of Muslims, Dalits, , tribals and ChristiansтАЩ. Angana Chaterji was awarded the тАШTipu SultanтАЩ award.
PIFRAS participated to show solidarity against their common enemy.тАиIn 2008, IMC arranged an American lecture tour for the activist Teesta Setalvad, whose international fame was based on atrocity literature about claims of Hindu rioters ripping open a pregnant Muslim woman and throwing her foetus into fire. (*The team appointed by the Supreme Court of India refuted the veracity of this account)тАиMany riot victims said that they were made to sign affidavits written in English, which they didnтАЩt understand.
There are unpublicised links between Dravidian separatism and political Islam that has a history of expansion, Islamic forces operate in three Southern states, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.тАиWhether it was the Caliphate movement or whether it is Palestine or Kashmir, Muslims worldwide get mobilised in a united manner. There are over 48,000 madrassas in Uttar Pradesh, 22,000 in Kerala, 7000 in MP, 3700 in Bihar, many more thousands in other states India, with foreign funding.
Political victories of Hindu government in India have precipitated the urgency to accelerate the seizure of India from within through religious conversions.тАиMany Hindus are duped into thinking that showing religious similarities is a genuine way to promote harmony, unaware that they play into carefully formulated strategy for conversion as well as a non-Hindu identity of their people.
JUDGE YOURSELF, THESE ACTIVISTS AND SCHOLARS!
UDIT RAJ is one such activist who became famous for organising a huge Dalit rally and mass conversions of Hindus to Buddhism in India. AICC website explains Udit RajтАЩs role in US politics to advocate intervention in India as a part of its foreign policy.
The DFN hosted a conference, "Racism and Caste Based Discrimination in India: Implications for the US-India Relationship", where talks were given by both, Udit Raj and Kancha Ilaiah.
KANCHA ILAIAH As тАШthe leading Dalit rights campaignerтАЩ, Kancha Ilaiah, is also a member of ICSSR that gives grants to Universities, research organisations like CSDS, where left wingers, journalists, NGOs, Dalit Christians are nurtured.тАиDNF awarded him a postdoctoral fellowship, his book, тАШWhy I am not a HinduтАЩ (1996, sponsored by the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation) is prescribed in courses on Hinduism at many American Universities. In another book, тАШPost- Hindu IndiaтАЩ, he creates a racist ideology of hatred against Brahmins in particular. For instance he recently said that vegetarianism is anti-nationalism: тАЬFor me, my nation starts with eating beef.

JOSEPH DтАЩSOUZA 'in тАШReligious Freedom dayтАЩ organised in Washington by Christian fundamentalist, Senator Rick Sa****um, gave a speech in which he held responsible, тАШHindu extremismтАЩ for all religious violence and urged the global community to intervene and protest against the legislation in Indian states that prohibit conversion.
The DFN raised $795,462 in 2004 and spent $372,523 on programs and services as reported by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. The remainder of the money was sent the following year as designated money to support developing programs.

VISHAL MANGALWADI (author of The Book that Made Your World) An Indian American evangelist claims that colonialism under British was very good for India, тАЬIndian democracy has failedтАЭ and the reason is that тАЬit did not use Bible as its moral compassтАЭ, he states. He is a leader of this heavily-funded western evangelic programs to echo far-right protestant supremacist ideas in India.

MARTHA NUSSBAUM A virulent anti-Hindu American, her pronouncement: тАЬperpetrators of violence are not Muslims but HindusтАЭ, is proof enough of that. Her interest in India started while working for Amartya Sen, with whom she shared an intimate relationship, a fact she herself bragged about, does not have any qualification in archaeology, Sanskrit, geology, or metallurgy, yet writes with authority about the dating of the Vedas, Hindus=bad guys, thugs, militants"
TEESTA SETALVAD, a Hindu married to a Muslim, Javed Anand, General Secretary of Muslims for Secular Democracy, a virulent anti-Hindu organisation, has used any means to go after Hindus, particularly their leaders and specially Mr Narendra Modi and has been repeatedly exposed for having indulged in unethical acts, has cases pending against her in courts for perjury. She uses the lack of education and poverty of victims to file false affidavits to further her own agenda , anti-Hindu agenda fetches her foreign funds.

LISE McKEAN, Western academician harbours hatred of traditions, Guru tradition as oppressive 'Hindu Nationalisms'. For instance, in her book, тАШDivine EnterpriseтАЩ, she writes, тАШThrough shrewd marketing and publicity, Hindu spiritual leaders can play powerful roles in contemporary India as businessmen and government ofXicialsтАЩ.
EVA-MARIA-HARDTMANN Author of тАШThe Dalit movement in IndiaтАЩ, member of advisory board in the project тАШOutlook in Civil SocietyтАЩ collaborated with UPPSALA, member of board of SASNET (Swedish South Asian Studies Network), and coordinator of SARI (Stockholm Anthropological Research on India,) a network of researchers focused on India. She is listed as one of the academicians at IIDS.
ROMILA THAPAR The most renowned Indian historian, who has links with all Indologists in the world and universities, resorts to a quasi-scholarly speculation of racial hatred as existing in entire Indian traditions, demonising the тАШotherтАЩ, a technique to justify holding such people in contempt and even attacking themтАЩ. A traitor to her own culture, she argues, "entire civilisation - state is oppressive devices controlled by ethnic groups that need to be dismantled"

MEERA NANDA Meera Nanda denounces Culture & Hinduism as anti-scientific and Protestantism (whose John Templeton Foundation funds her) as scientific. She states, тАЬyoga asans do not have Vedic origins, and were treated with disdain by the 19th century Hindu elites, including Swami Vivekananda. Instead of acknowledging the Western contributions to modern yoga, we Indians simply brand all yoga as тАШVedic,тАЩ a smug claim that has no intellectual integrityтАЭ.

ANGANA CHATERJI, the most venomous anti-Hindu in the USA, most prominent on faculty of California Institute of Integral Studies, that was set up 2 promote teachings of Sri Aurobindo, uses this podium to lash out against anything Hindu. Married to Richard Shapiro who is Director and Associate Professor of the Grad. Anthropology Program at CIIS, also a very anti-Hindu body. Both are great defenders of the Kashmiri Muslims, formed an organisation on HR & justice in Kashmir, slamming Armed Forces, and attend every International Kashmir Freedom Conference (IKFC), which only gives the Muslim point of view.

ARUNDHATI ROY When the Indian government woke up to the reality of the Maoist threat, Arundhati Roy (groomed by the West), voiced a strong protest against Government operations. In a propaganda article, she says with pride, тАЬthe Maoists are having latest modern weapons, serious rifles, INSAS, SLR, AK-47s and recruits child soldersтАЭ.
The Firangis are long gone but their agenda remains. The Pope, while visiting India in 1991, proclaimed openly, his wish to тАЬwitness a great harvest of faithтАЭ, through the Christianization of the entire country.
A Mahesh Bhupathi, in our midst is recognized only whith incidents like, his mother once said, тАЬMy burden is for India, since we fight with about thirty three million other GodsтАЭ.
