HINDU Terminal...!

The common language of Hinduism must depart from the dominance of Shankaran Advaita Amidst the globalization of diverse philosophies, Hindus are trying to establish a unique place for themselves. This requires a unique terminology that explains Hinduism, not in a Western framework but on its own terms. Some of our leaders are attempting such a representation of Hinduism, but the ground beneath them is shaky. Their efforts invite ridicule, as they have chosen a terminology which discounts or entirely disregards major streams of Hindu thought. Thus, individual streams of Hinduism are ignoring or just talking at each other. For unity to succeed, leaders must use a terminology that is inclusive and respectful of the diverse branches that make up the tree of Hinduism. In curren t definitions of Hinduism, the dominant terminology is that of  Advaita , as defined by Shankara ’s Mayavada:  “brahma satyam, jagat mithya, jivo brahmaiva na parah”  (loosely translated as “G...

Social media has been a powerful medium in exposing the sinister campaign against RSS. While reviewing some of the tweets by anti RSS propagandists, I felt it is necessary to expose some of the popular myths about RSS. A lot of people are blindly ranting against Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh, without getting proper information. You can't change everyone, but at least you can put some facts on the table. So here we go.. Note that these are not the official statements of RSS, but that of general social media population in India today. Full credit to the original thinkers and the original photographers, for the information presented here onwards. Myth 1: RSS Killed Gandhi Fact 1: Nathuram Godse killed Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. Godse had left RSS in 1930s itself. This has been reiterated countless number of times by RSS, and the recent one is from December 2010, when Ram Madhav of RSS claimed court records clearly showing RSS had nothing to do with Gandhi's murder. Justice K...

New Delhi :  Great personalities sacrifice everything for protection of Dharma. H. H. Santashri. Asaramji Bapu has also offered his family for protection of Dharma. Pujya Bapu is in jail even after 5 months. Where are those people now who ask for votes in the name of ‘Hindutva’ ? What efforts did BJP, RSS or VHP representing Hindus make for release of Pujya Bapu? Today, there is need to expose fake pro-Hindu leaders who only pose as ‘Hindutva-waadi’; therefore, if H. H. Asaramji Bapu is not released within 15 days, BJP, RSS and VHP will have to face serious consequences. The above warning was given by Swami Chakrapani Maharaj, the national President of ‘Sant Mahasabha’ during conference of Saints organized at Jantar Mantar. Other dignitaries sharing the dais with him were Swami Swatmabodhanandji Maharaj from Mumbai, Yoga-Scholar Harshanandji, Shri. Akhilesh Tiwari, who participates in discussion programs on TV news channels fighting the case for H. H. Bapu and Shri. Mukesh Khan...

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s admission in his recent interview to Times Now that “probably some Congressmen” were involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom, and his inability to explain why the “legal process” had been unable to deliver justice (some prominent accused are dead) when cases in the Gujarat riots of 2002 (almost two decades later) were proceeding at a much faster pace, has reopened a festering sore in the national psyche. There has been no closure in the anti-Sikh pogrom because of the sustained determination of the Congress leadership not to sacrifice leaders who were named by eyewitness and media reports of having instigated and led mobs against Sikh-dominated localities, Sikh homes in mixed colonies, Sikh taxi stands and shops and establishments in markets across the Capital. As rival political parties demand a Special Investigation Team to revisit the 1984 atrocity, this is an appropriate time to look at one of the first compilations about the riots while t...

Abstract Since 2003,  the International Council for Cultural Studies has organized a five-day “International Conference and Gathering of Elders of Ancient Traditions and Cultures” every third year. Participants include spokesmen of the Maori, Yoruba, Maya, Lakota etc. religions, as well as neo-Druids, Romuva Lithuanians etc. Each of the conferences took place in India, with the main organizational input and sponsoring provided by the ICCS’s American chapter. The sources of inspiration for what started as a Hindu outreach to the world’s other remaining or reviving Pagans are several, but can be traced to Hindu philosopher Ram Swarup (1920-1998). His critiques of Christianity and Islam and particularly his defence of polytheism conclude with an appeal to global Pagan solidarity and networking. The triannual Gathering of Elders has become the Pagan International that he hoped for: genuinely global, rooted in genuine religions and with a positive message. A first impr...
