Misquoted Verses Of Hindu Scriptures for Meat Eating


Image Courtesy : "All Rights Reserved Vimanika Comics"

It is sad that these are the translated version of Foreign writers who do not know how sentence is made
in sanskrit and they are translated Our scriptures without having knowledge and understanding of Sanskrit.
This is their cunningness and I have seen that many of Indian scholars also use these translations in their sites.
These translators are Griffith, wilson etc. In which Griffth is most famous on internet.

For better understanding I am explaining each and every mantra mentioned by you here with comparison with Griffth Translation and actual translation:


Query: “Indra says theat, because, Indra was in desperate condition, therefore he cooked intestines of a dog.

[Rig Vda book 4: hymn 18 mantra or verse 13]


Answer : First thing is that there is nothing like Book, Hymn or verse.
For Rig Ved Foreign Translators used Book for Mandal, Hymn for Sukta and Verse for Mantra.
From this you can understand the condition what they have made with their translation.

Mantra in Sanskrit:

अवर्त्या शुन आन्त्राणि पेचे न देवेषु विविदे मर्डितारम |
अपश्यं जायाम अमहीयमानाम अधा मे शयेनो मध्व आ जभार ||

avartyā śuna āntrāṇi pece na deveṣu vivide marḍitāram |
apaśyaṃ jāyām amahīyamānām adhā me śyeno madhv ā jabhāra ||


Rigved Mandal 4, Sukta 18, Mantra 13

Griffth Translation: In deep distress I cooked a dog's intestines. Among the Gods I found not one to comfort.
My consort I beheld in degradation. The Falcon then brought me the pleasant Soma.

Actual Translation:
word by Word:

 avartya means to be free from cycle of life and Death
suna-->> This is the real conspirator, one meaning of suna is Dog but from Rigved 7.104.22 it is clear that suna means
to be happy. likely dog is used mainly as svaan not suna.
āntrāṇi  means mode of Gyan or Knowledge
pece means to digest or mature. This is taken as cooked by griffth but it is to digest. This is same as
your teacher says to you digest your syllabus.
deveṣu  means indriya i.e senses.
marḍitāram means the one that gives happines.
na Vivede means not found.
jayam means nature or prakriti
amahiyamanam means not equal to
apaśyaṃ  means to see
syeno means Ishwar in form of Gyan or knowledge.
me means me
madhu means honey or very sweet
a jabhara means to give

So the actual translation of whole Mantra is:
Hrishi is saying I digest or mature all modes of knowledge of God to become happy and free from cycle of life and death.
In between my senses I do not found anyone to provide happiness or pleasure.
I do not saw Prakriti as same as God. Ishwar in the form of Knowledge gives me sweetest BrahmGyan.


Query: “Agni is a Vedic God and is described as fed on Ox and Cow”

[Rig Vda book 10: hymn 16 mantra or verse 7]

Mantra in Sanskrit:

 अग्नेर्वर्म परि गोभिर्व्ययस्व सं परोर्णुष्व पीवसामेदसा च |
नेत तवा धर्ष्णुर्हरसा जर्ह्र्षाणो दध्र्ग्विधक्ष्यन पर्यङखयाते ||
aghnervarma pari ghobhirvyayasva saṃ prorṇuṣva pīvasāmedasā ca |
net tvā dhṛṣṇurharasā jarhṛṣāṇo dadhṛghvidhakṣyan paryaṅkhayāte ||

Rigved Mandal 10, Sukta 16 Mantra 7

Griffth Translation: Shield thee with flesh against the flames of Agni, encompass thee about with fat and marrow,
So will the Bold One, eager to attack thee with fierce glow fail to girdle and consume thee.

Actual Translation: 
aghne ghobhi means from the auspicious voice of knowledgeable person
varma means defensible shield, cloths etc
pari vyayasva to wear.
pivasamedasa ca means nutrient and loving body layer
saṃ prorṇuṣva means to cover properly
dhṛṣṇu means the fire created by rubbing,  fire like Guru
jarhṛṣāṇo means to become very happy
dadhṛgh means to become very hard
vidhakṣyan means to burn opposite sin
net tva paryaṅkhayāte means do not cover you, do not punish you.

So the actual translation of whole Mantra is:
 You wear defencable sheild, cloths etc from the auspicious voice of knowledgeble person or Guru and cover properly yourself
with nutrient and loving body layer. So that the fire created by rubbing like Guru to be very happy or to be very hard will
 not punish you and burn your opposite sins.

Rigved Mandal 10, Sukta 16 Mantra 9

यो अग्निः करव्यात परविवेश वो गर्हमिमं पश्यन्नितरंजातवेदसम |
तं हरामि पित्र्यज्ञाय देवं स घर्ममिन्वात परमे सधस्थे ||

Rigved Mandal 10, Sukta 16 Mantra 10


Now not giving word by word Translation I am giving you full translation of these Mantras.

Rigved Mandal 10, Sukta 16 Mantra 10

Query : “Indra eats bulls”

[Rig Vda book 10: hymn 85 mantra or verse 13]

Mantra in Sanskrit: 

सूर्याया वहतुः परागात सविता यमवास्र्जत |
अघासुहन्यन्ते गावो.अर्जुन्योः पर्युह्यते ||

sūryāyā vahatuḥ prāghāt savitā yamavāsṛjat |
aghāsuhanyante ghāvo.arjunyoḥ paryuhyate ||

RigVed Mandal 10: Sukta 85 mantra 13

Griffith Translation : The bridal pomp of Surya, which Savitar started, moved along.
In Magha days are oxen slain, in Arjuris they wed the bride.

Truth: 

Devta of this mantra 10/85/13 is “SURYA VIVAHA” So, this mantra relates to marriage. Mantra asks as to why the marriage is performed .Though, the marriage is performed for maintaining number of good qualities but in this mantra, it is stated that marriage is performed to obtain sons.

So, how why and under whose influence/pressure Mr. D. N. Jha has stated to slaughter the cow on the pious occasion of marriage is not understood. Mr. D. N. Jha’s interpretation of Rigveda Mantra 10/86/14 underlines practice of eating beef, which is absolutely wrong according to Vedas. Devta of this Sukta is ‘VARUNN’ the above mantra relates to the knowledge of celestial bodies/comprising of planets, stars etc.

So it has no concern with eating beef or any non-vegetarian food.

Meaning of above mantra :

SOORYAAYAA VAHATUHU PRAAGAAT SAVITA YAMAVAASRIJAT.

AGHAASU HANYANTE GAAVORJUNYOHO PARYUHYATE.


The mantra states that in winter, the rays of sun get weakened and then get strong again in spring.
The word used for sun-rays in ‘Go’ which also means cow and hence the mantra can also be translated by
 making ‘cow’ and not ‘sun-rays’ as the subject. The word used for ‘weakened’ is ‘Hanyate’ which can also
 mean killing. But if that be so, why would the mantra go further and state in next line (which is deliberate
ly not translated) that in spring, they start regaining their original form. How can a cow killed in
winter regain its health in spring? This amply proves how ignorant and biased communists malign Vedas.

Query: “Indra says, “They have cooked for me fifteen bulls and twenty cows, so that I may eat the fats as well. Both sides of my belly are full.”

[Rig Vda book 10: hymn 86 mantra or verse 7]

Sanskrit Mantra: 

उवे अम्ब सुलाभिके यथेवाङग भविष्यति |
भसन मे अम्बसक्थि मे शिरो मे वीव हर्ष्यति विश्वस्मादिन्द्र उत्तरः ||

uve amba sulābhike yathevāṅgha bhaviṣyati |
bhasan me ambasakthi me śiro me vīva hṛṣyati viśvasmādindra uttaraḥ ||

Rigved Mandal 10 Sukta 86 mantra 7

Griffith Translation: 

Mother whose love is quickly wibn, I say what verily will be.
My,breast, O Mother, and my head and both my hips seem quivering. Supreme is Indra over all.

Now you can see
 This is totally misquoted and self made verse even Griffith dont say to to kill cow in this Mantra. So
I am not explaining this Mantra.

Query: ACCORDING TO THE UPANISHAD

“He who wishes, “May as son born to me, who will e a reputed scholar, attend assemblies, speak words that one likes to hear, be versed in all the Vedas and attain full longevity” Should have rice cooked with beef that of a young mature bull and with his wife eat it mixed with ghee. Then they will be able to produce such a son.

[Brahadaranyaka Upanishad Ch 6 Sec 4 Mantar 18]

Answer:

Let us take Mansodanam first. There are 4 more verses just before this verse that recommend eating particular edibles with rice for having a child with Vedic wisdom of different types. The other edibles are: Ksheerodanam (Milk with rice), Dadhyodanam (Yogurt with rice), Water with rice and Tila (a pulse) with rice for experts in other Vedas. Thus it is ONLY for mastery of Atharvaveda that Mansodanam or meat with rice is recommended. This itself shows that the particular reference is an anomaly.

In reality, the right word is Mashodanam and NOT Mansodanam. Masha means a kind of pulse. Hence there is nothing fleshy about it. In fact, for pregnant women, meat is completely prohibited as per Ayurveda. Refer Sushruta Samhita. There is also a verse in Sushrut Samhita that recommends Masha for husband and wife for a good son. Thus it is obvious that Brihadaranyaka has also explained the same concept as elucidated in Sushruta Samhita. There is no reason why the two texts would differ in Masha and Mansa.
 Even if someone asserts that it is not Masha but Mansa, still Mansa means pulp and not necessarily meat. There are ample usages of Mansa as pulp in ancient texts. Thus Amramansam means pulp of mango. Khajuramansam means pulp of date. Refer Charak Samhita for such examples. Taittriya Samhita 2.32.8 uses Mansa for curd, honey and corn.

The fact is that Uksha refers to a medicinal herb, also known as Soma. Even someone like Monier Williams in his Sanskrit-English Dictionary states the same.

Vashaa refers to controlling powers of God and not a barren cow. If Vasha is used to mean a barren cow, then many Vedic verses will make no sense.

For example, Atharvaveda 10.10.4 uses Sahasradhara or Thousand flows in relation with Vasha. How can a barren cow be compared with Sahasradhara used to denote ample food, milk and water.
Atharvaveda 10.190 states that Vashi means controlling power of God and is recited twice daily in Vedic Sandhya.

In other verses, Vashaa is used also as productive land or a good wife with children (Atharvaveda 20.103.15) or a medicinal herb. Monier Williams also uses the word to mean a herb in his dictionary.
Uksha means a herb or Soma, even as per Monier Williams Dictionary. The same dictionary also lists Rishabh (from which Arshabh is derived) to mean a kind of medicinal plant (Carpopogan pruriens). Charak Samhita 1.4-13 lists Rishabh as a medicinal plant. Same is mentioned in Sushrut Samhita 38 and Bhavaprakash Purna Khanda.

Further both Arshabh (Rishabh) and Uksha mean bull and none means ‘calf’. So why were synonyms used to mention the same thing in the shloka from Brihadaranyak. This is like saying, one should eat either curd or yogurt! Thus, obviously the two words mean two different things. And considering that all the other verses mention herbs and pulses, these words also mean the same


The word Mansodan is misquoted its Manshodhan which means purify Mind.
Uksha means Herb of Somaras. Ox is called Vrishabh in sanskrit not Uksha.
The quote simply means Rice mixed with herbs purify our mind.

I am giving Pictorial proof here...























Query : “"The eater who eats the flesh of those to be eaten does nothing bad, even if he does it day after day, for God himself created some to be eaten and some to be eater."


[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 30]


Answer: Actual Verse

The eater who daily even devours those destined to be his food, commits no sin; for the creator himself created both the eaters and those who are to be eaten (for those special purposes).


We know one living entity is dependent on another. This vesre is for all living entity that eats other animals for living not for human.

That is what we can see and that is what Vedas tell us jive jivese Bhojnam now we could easily use this as a licence to kill and enjoy and contrast this with thou shall not kill in the bible and yet we see the opposite, why, because we follow the higher doctrine of ahimsa.

What I find so sad of muslims is that they wish peace in their greating to one another yet they lack in their action



Query: "Eating meat is right for the sacrifice; this is traditionally known as a rule of the gods."

[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 31]


Answer: You conveniently omitted full verse, here it is

 'The consumption of meat is prohibited  for yajnas,' that is declared to be a rule made by the Gods; but to persist (in using it) on occasions is said to be a proceeding worthy of Rakshasas.


And then if we read further which our friend deliberately remains ignorant about for obvious reasons, makes it abundantly clear what we human should not eat.

Now see what Manusmiriti actually says about Eating meat:

Chapter 5

48. Meat can never be obtained without injury to living creatures, and injury to sentient beings is detrimental to (the attainment of) heavenly bliss; let him therefore shun (the use of) meat.

49. Having well considered the (disgusting) origin of flesh and the (cruelty of) fettering and slaying corporeal beings, let him entirely abstain from eating flesh.

50. He who, disregarding the rule (given above), does not eat meat like a Pisaka, becomes dear to men, and will not be tormented by diseases.

51. He who permits (the slaughter of an animal), he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells (meat), he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, (must all be considered as) the slayers (of the animal).

52. There is no greater sinner than that (man) who, though not worshipping the gods or the manes, seeks to increase (the bulk of) his own flesh by the flesh of other (beings).



Moreover, you would come accross some reference from adulterated Manusmriti, containing Violence against animals These are additional shlokas are either from adulterated Manu Smriti or misinterpreted by twisting of words. I recommend them to read Manu Smriti by Dr Surendra Kumar.


Query: "God himself created sacrificial animals for sacrifice... therefore killing in a sacrifice is not killing."

[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 39-40]


Answer: Correct verse is

 Svayambhu (the Self-existent) himself created beasts for the sake of sacrifices; sacrifices (have been instituted) for the good of this whole (world); hence the slaughtering (of beasts) for sacrifices is not slaughtering (in the ordinary sense of the word).

point to be look at in this verse is that sacrifice is not for eating. Manu is talinkg about Beasts which become threat to mankind i.e man eater Tiger, lion etc.

Killing them with the purpose of saving life is not slaughtering but the sacrifice.



Query : Yudhishthira and Pitamah Bhishma about what food one should offer to Pitris (ancestors) during the Shraddha (ceremony of dead) to keep them satisfied. Paragraph reads as follows:

"Yudhishthira said, "O thou of great puissance, tell me what that object is which, if dedicated to the Pitiris (dead ancestors), become inexhaustible! What Havi, again, (if offered) lasts for all time? What, indeed, is that which (if presented) becomes eternal?"

"Bhishma said, "Listen to me, O Yudhishthira, what those Havis are which persons conversant with the rituals of the Shraddha (the ceremony of dead) regard as suitable in view of Shraddha and what the fruits are that attach to each. With sesame seeds and rice and barely and Masha and water and roots and fruits, if given at Shraddhas, the pitris, O king, remain gratified for the period of a month. With fishes offered at Shraddhas, the pitris remain gratified for a period of two months. With the mutton they remain gratified for three months and with the hare for four months, with the flesh of the goat for five months, with the bacon (meat of pig) for six months, and with the flesh of birds for seven. With venison obtained from those deer that are called Prishata, they remaingratified for eight months, and with that obtained from the Ruru for nine months, and with the meat of Gavaya for ten months, With the meat of the bufffalo their gratification lasts for eleven months. With beef presented at the Shraddha, their gratification, it is said , lasts for a full year.

Payasa mixed with ghee is as much acceptable to the pitris as beef. With the meat of Vadhrinasa (a large bull) the gratification of pitris lasts for twelve years. The flesh of rhinoceros, offered to the pitris on anniversaries of the lunar days on which they died, becomes inexhaustible. The potherb called Kalaska, the petals of kanchana flower, and meat of (red) goat also, thus offered, prove inexhaustible. So but natural if you want to keep your ancestors satisfied forever, you should serve them the meat of red goat.

[Mahabharata Anushashan Parva chapter 88]

Answer: this query made me laugh and sad at innocence of Hindus no where in this chapter says about
beef but it is saying about cows in donation and to give curd, cow milk and grains to eat.

I am giving whole chapter here in Sanskrit Translated to Hindi.






Query: SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

"You will be astonished if I tell you that, according to the old ceremonials, he is not a good Hindu who does not eat beef. On certain occasions he must sacrifice a bull and eat it." [The complete works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Pg 536]

In the same volume he says,

"There was a time in this very India when, without eating beef, no Brahmin could remain a Brahmin;"

[The complete works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Pg 174]

Answer:

Many people quote those, who may be good though one subject (like Yoga) but may not have credible understanding of the Vedas. These quotations are widely used to prove that Vedas prescribe barbaric things like Violence against animals and women, etc but the users of these quotations are unable to provide real proofs (directly from the Vedas and Vedic Granth). Also, we are not sure that these people have really made such comments or not


 You can quote Swami Vivekananda and other books to prove that eating beef
is part of the Hindus daily life in the past. However, you have not
considered the commentories written by prophets (empowered living beings
who are sent by God). Only the commentaries on Vedas, Puranas, upanishads,
etc written by prophets are valid. The problem is that most people quote
translation of verses done by famous people such as Swami Vivekananda but
they ignore the translation done by prophets listed below:

Adi Shankara (789-821) (also known as “Shankaracharya”), or Shankara

Bhagavatpaada: Founder of Advaita school of vedanta (incarnation of Lord
Shiva).

Shrimad Ramanujacharya: Wrote Sribhashya, commentary on Brahma Sutras. He
also established Vishistadvaita Siddhanta (incarnation of AdisEsha).

Shrimad Madhvacharya: Founder of the Dvaita school of vedanta (incarnation
of Vayu deva).

Shrimad Nimbarkacharya: Founder of Dvaitadvaita school of
vedanta (incarnation of Sudarshana Chakra of Lord Vishnu).

Shrimad Vallbhacharya: Founder of Shuddhadvaita school of vedanta and
established (incarnation of Agni deva).

These prophets are called prophets because if you read their history it is given that God ordained them to *incarnate* on the earth for uplifting us and enlightening on topics that people were confused. There are many instances in which demigods or absolute God have incarnated on earth and summarized the Hindu religion. You should read their commentaries first. I or you can write commentaries on Vedas, Puranas but it is not authorized one.

There are many great people who are subject to illusions and they have done small mistakes. Take for eg: Gandhiji. He is called mahatma but there are many controversies connected to it which many people refuse to be accept as true. I will not go into detail whether those allegations are true or not. When a sanskrit word ‘go’ is used in Sanskrit it has many meaning. It also has meaning called earth, river, etc. Also the word ‘offering’ doesn’t mean throwing it into fire. That is why we have depend less on translations done by non-prophets.

Some translators have fallen prey to wrong interpretation of the language. A typical example of foul play by some hell-bent on justifying their obsession with beef in ancient texts, is to translate Mansa as ‘meat’. In reality, ‘Mansa’ is a generic word used to denote pulp. Meat is called ‘Mansa’ because it is pulpy. So mere presence of ‘Mansa’ does not mean it refers to meat.

Oldest Systematic Language:: गौरवमयी देवभाषा:: संस्कृत Sanskrit




Sanskrit was considered as "Dev Bhasha", " Devavani "or the language of the Gods by ancient Indians. The word sanskrita, meaning "refined" or "purified," is the antonym of prakrita, meaning "natural," or "vulgar." It is made up of the primordial sounds, and is developed systematically to include the natural progressions of sounds as created in the human mouth. Jawaharlal Nehru has said that Sanskrit is a language amazingly rich, efflorescent, full of luxuriant growth of all kinds, and yet precise and strictly keeping within the framework of grammar which Panini laid down two thousand years ago. It spread out, added to its richness, became fuller and more ornate, but always it stuck to its original roots. The ancient Indians attached a great deal of importance to sound, and hence their writing, poetry or prose, had a rhythmic and musical quality. Our modern languages of India are children of Sanskrit, and to it owe most of their vocabulary and their forms of expressions.

10. ब्रिटेन वर्तमान में हमारे श्री चक्र पर आधारित एक रक्षा प्रणाली पर शोध कर रहा है।
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"सनातन सिंहनाद" का नजरिया :-
लेकिन यहाँ यह बात अवश्य सोचने की है,की आज जहाँ पूरे विश्व में संस्कृत पर शोध चल रहे हैं,रिसर्च हो रहीं हैं वहीँ हमारे देश के लुच्चे नेता संस्कृत को मृत भाषा बताने में बाज नहीं आ रहे हैं अभी ३ वर्ष पहले हमारा एक केन्द्रीय मंत्री बी. एच .यू . में गया था तब उसने वहां पर संस्कृत को मृत भाषा बताया था. यह बात कहकर वह अपनी माँ को गाली दे गया, और ये वही लोग हैं जो भारत की संस्कृति को समाप्त करने के लिए यहाँ की जनता पर अंग्रेजी और उर्दू को जबरदस्ती थोप रहे हैं. 
आज जहाँ पुरे विश्व में संस्कृत का परोक्ष या अपरोक्ष रूप से डंका बज रहा है. वहीं आर्यवर्त भारत में संस्कृत की स्थिति दयनीय बनी हुई है. हिन्दुओं को आपातकालीन कदम उठाते हुए संकृत को पुनः उसके गौरवमयी पद पर विराजमान करना चाहिए. इसकी शुरुवात उत्तराखंड राज्य ने की है, देवभाषा संस्कृत को उर्दू के समक्ष प्राथमिकता देते हुए अपनी द्वितीय राजभाषा घोषित करके. दुसरे राज्यों को भी इसका अनुसरण करना चाहिए.

The Sanskrit grammarians wished to construct a perfect language, which would belong to no one and thus belong to all, which would not develop but remain an ideal instrument of communication and culture for all peoples and all time. 

Sanskrit (meaning "cultured or refined"), the classical language of Hinduism, is the oldest and the most systematic language in the world. The vastness and the versatility, and power of expression can be appreciated by the fact that this language has 65 words to describe various forms of earth, 67 words for water, and over 250 words to describe rainfall. 

Sanskrit was a complete success and became the language of all cultured people in India and in countries under Indian influence. All scientific, philosophical, historical works were henceforth written in Sanskrit, and important texts existing in other languages were translated and adapted into Sanskrit. For this reason, very few ancient literary, religious, or philosophical documents exits in India in other languages. The sheer volume of Sanskrit literature is immense, and it remains largely unexplored. 

Did you know that Sanskrit is the world’s oldest systematic language?

The word sanskrita, meaning "refined" or "purified," is the antonym of prakrita, meaning "natural," or "vulgar." It is made up of the primordial sounds, and is developed systematically to include the natural progressions of sounds as created in the human mouth. Sanskrit was considered as "Dev Bhasha", "Devavani" or the language of the Gods by ancient Indians. There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Each has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108.

Mother of all Higher Languages

The Sanskrit language has helped shape many European languages including French, German, Russian, and English. It shows many ancient forms of words such as father, through, shampoo, trigonometry, and mouse, while guru, pundit, dharma, bandh, and yoga are among hundreds of Sanskrit words that can now be found in the Oxford dictionary.

Earliest and only known Modern Language

Panini (c 400BC), in his Astadhyayi, gave formal production rules and definitions to describe Sanskrit grammar. Starting with about 1700 fundamental elements, like nouns, verbs, vowels and consonents, he put them into classes. The construction of sentences, compound nouns etc. was explained as ordered rules operating on underlying fundamental structures. This is exactly in congruence with the fundamental notion of using terminals, non-terminals and production rules of moderm day Computer Science. On the basis of just under 4,000 sutras (rules expressed as aphorisms), he built virtually the whole structure of the Sanskrit language. He used a notation precisely as powerful as the Backus normal form, an algebraic notation used in Computer Science to represent numerical and other patterns by letters.

It is my contention that because of the scientific nature of the method of pronunciation of the vowels and consonants in the Indian languages (specially those coming directly from Pali, Prakit and Sanskrit), every part of the mouth is exercised during speaking. This results into speakers of Indian languages being able to pronounce words from any language. This is unlike the case with say native English speakers, as their tongue becomes unused to being able to touch certain portions of the mouth during pronunciation, thus giving the speakers a hard time to speak certain words from a language not sharing a common ancestry with English. I am not aware of any theory in these lines, but I would like to know if there is one.

आर्यप्रतीक "स्वस्तिक" का प्रयोग क्योँ और वैज्ञानिकता क्या?






(1)"अर्थ और निहित विश्वबन्धुत्व एवं कल्याण":-



स्वस्तिक अत्यन्त प्राचीन काल से भारतीय संस्कृति में मंगल-प्रतीक माना जाता रहा है। इसीलिए किसी भी शुभकार्य को करने से पहले स्वस्तिक चिह्व अंकित करके उसका पूजन किया जाता है। स्वस्तिक शब्द सु+अस+क से बना है। 'सु' का अर्थ अच्छा, 'अस' का अर्थ 'सत्ता' या 'अस्तित्व' और 'क' का अर्थ 'कर्त्ता' या करने वाले से है। इस प्रकार 'स्वस्तिक' शब्द का अर्थ हुआ 'अच्छा' या 'मंगल' करने वाला। 'अमरकोश' में भी 'स्वस्तिक' का अर्थ आशीर्वाद, मंगल
या पुण्यकार्य करना लिखा है। अमरकोश के शब्द हैं - 'स्वस्तिक, सर्वतोऋद्ध' अर्थात् 'सभी दिशाओं में सबका कल्याण हो।' इस प्रकार 'स्वस्तिक' शब्द में
किसी व्यक्ति या जाति विशेष का नहीं, अपितु सम्पूर्ण विश्व के कल्याण या 'वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्' की भावना निहित 


 'स्वस्तिक' शब्द की निरुक्ति है - 'स्वस्तिक क्षेम कायति, इति स्वस्तिकः' अर्थात् 'कुशलक्षेम या कल्याण का प्रतीक ही स्वस्तिक है।



(2)वैज्ञानिकता और शोध:-



यदि आधुनिक दृ्ष्टिकोण से देखा जाए तो अब तो विज्ञान भी स्वस्तिक, इत्यादि माँगलिक चिन्हों की महता स्वीकार करने लगा है । आधुनिक विज्ञानने वातावरण तथा किसी भी जीवित वस्तु,पदार्थ इत्यादि के उर्जा को मापने के लिए विभिन्न उपकरणों का आविष्कार किया है ओर इस उर्जा मापने की इकाई


को नाम दिया है---"बोविस" । मृत मानव शरीर का बोविस शून्य माना गया है और मानव में औसत ऊर्जा क्षेत्र6,500 बोविस पाया गया है। स्वस्तिक में इस
उर्जा का स्तर 1,00,0000 बोविस है। यदि इसे उल्टा बना दिया जाएतो यह प्रतिकूल ऊर्जा को इसी अनुपात में बढ़ाता है। इसी स्वस्तिक को थोड़ा टेड़ा बना देने पर इसकी ऊर्जा मात्र 1,000 बोविस रह जाती है। इसके साथ ही विभिन्न धार्मिक स्थलों यथा मन्दिर,गुरूद्वारा इत्यादि का ऊर्जा स्तर काफी उंचा मापा गया है जिसके चलते वहां जाने वालों को शांति का अनुभव और अपनी समस्याओं,कष्टों से मुक्ति हेतु मन में नवीनआशा का संचारहोता है। यही नहीं हमारे घरों,मन्दिरों,पूजा पाठ इत्यादि में प्रयोग किए जाने वाले अन्य मांगलिक चिन्हों यथा ॐ इत्यादि में भी इसी तरहकी ऊर्जा समाई है। जिसका लाभ हमें जाने अनजाने में मिलता ही रहता हैं।




(3)मानक दर्शन:- 

इसके अनुसार स्वस्तिक दक्षिणोन्मुख दाहिने हाथ की दिशा (घडी की सूई चलने की दिशा) का संकेत तथा वामोन्मुख बाईं दिशा (उसके
विपरीत) के प्रतीक हैं ।दोनों दिशाओंके संकेत स्वरूप दो प्रकार के स्वस्तिक स्त्री एवं पुरूष के प्रतीक के रूप मे भी मान्य हैं । किन्तु जहाँ दाईं ओर मुडी भुजा वाला स्वस्तिक शुभ एवं सौभाग्यवर्द्धक हैं ,वहीं उल्टा (वामावर्त) स्वस्तिक को अमांगलिक,हानिकारक माना गया है ।

(4)प्राचीन काल में राजा महाराज द्वारा किलों का निर्माण स्वस्तिक के आकार में किया जाता रहा है ताकि किले की सुरक्षा अभेद्य बनी रहे। प्राचीन पारम्परिक तरीके से निर्मित किलों में शत्रु द्वारा एक द्वार पर ही सफलता अर्जित करने के पश्चात सेना द्वारा किले में प्रवेश कर उसके अधिकाँश भाग अथवा सम्पूर्ण किले पर अधिकार करने के बाद नर संहार होता रहाहै । परन्तु स्वस्तिक नुमा द्वारों केनिर्माण के कारण शत्रु सेना को एक द्वार पर यदि सफलता मिल भी जाती थी तो बाकी के तीनों द्वार सुरक्षित रहते थे। ऎसी मजबूत एवं दूरगामी व्यवस्थाओं के कारण शत्रु के लिए किले के सभी भागों को एक साथ जीतना संभव नहीं होताथा । यहाँ स्वस्तिक किला/दुर्ग निर्माण के परिपेक्ष्य में "सु वास्तु" था । स्वस्तिक का महत्व सभी धर्मों में बताया गया है। इसे विभिन्न देशों में अलग-अलग नामों से जाना जाता है। चार हजार साल पहले सिंधु घाटी की सभ्यताओंमें भी स्वस्तिक के निशान मिलते हैं। बौद्ध धर्म में स्वस्तिक का आकार गौतमबुद्ध के हृदय स्थल पर दिखाया गया है।मध्य एशिया के देशों में स्वस्तिक चिन्ह मांगलिक एवं सौभाग्य सूचक माना जाता रहा है। नेपाल में हेरंब , मिस्रमें एक्टोन तथा बर्मा में महा पियेन्ने के नाम से पूजित हैं। आस्ट्रेलिया तथा न्यूजीलैण्ड के मावरी आदिवासियों द्वारा आदिकाल से स्वस्तिक को मंगल प्रतीक के रूप में प्रयुक्त किया जाता रहा हैं।


(5)निष्कर्ष:- 

हिन्दू धर्म जितना विशाल और गहन है,उसकी मान्यताएं और प्रक्रियाएं भी उतनी ही विशद और विस्तृ्त हैं । आज हम देखते हैं कि जागरूकता की अधिकता के चलते बहुत से व्यक्ति विशेष रूप से पश्चिमी सभ्यता से अति प्रभावित लोग, अपने धर्म से संबंधित मान्यताओं,रीति- रिवाजों एवं कर्मकांडों पर शंका व्यक्त करने लगे हैं ।बहुत ही बातों को बिना जाने-समझे सिर्फ उन्हे ढकोसला एवं अनावश्यक समझने लगे हैं । जब कि यदि वे इन सब चीजों,प्रक्रियाओं के बारें में गहराई से मनन करें तो पाएंगें कि हिन्दू धर्म विश्व का एकमात्र ऎसा धर्म है जो कि अपने प्रत्येक कर्म,संस्कार और परम्परा में पूर्णत: वैज्ञानिकता समेटे हुए है।

यहीँ है अपनी संस्कृति.....
वन्दे मातरम्!
जय जय श्री राधे

Eight Common Questions on Hinduism






Friends!! you may be passed by a situation when your friends asked you questions about Hinduism, whom unfortunately you might not able to answer. These 8 questions are common question which are put on Hinduism. So spread this message and educate other about Hinduism. 

Are there many Gods in Hinduism?

The truth is, in Hindusim we only have one Supreme God. Supreme Godhead in Hinduism is characterized by His or Her ability to Create the world and life. There is only One Being who has this ability. This is the One God whom we all pray to. A quote from the Rig Veda goes like this: "They call Him Indra, Varuna, Mitra or the heavenly sunbird Garutmat. The seers call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan."

However in Hinduism we believe that All-Mighty God can appear to His or Her devotee howsoever He or She pleases. Thus in Hinduism we have many varied forms of a Singular Godhead. This is also why Hindus understand that people of other religions are also praying to the same God as we are, albeit in another form. Thus you will hear Hindus claim that there is One Truth but many paths leading to it.

Are Hindus idol worshippers?

This is another commonly misunderstood tradition of Hinduism. Not understanding the philosophy and reasons for worship of images to represent God, many people think Hindus worship stone or the pictures that we use for worship as God Himself. Actually the Hindu representation of God through worship is not much more different than the use of images and symbols of worship that can be found in other religions. However, the use of images for worship in Hindu temples does have a deeper esoteric significance than simple symbolism or as a point of reference for our devotion. We idolize God and make images of Him or Her and use it for worship because this is very much a natural part human expression of appreciation. 

The deeper aspect of image worship in Hinduism is in its use in temples. When established properly in the sanctum of a temple, the image or murthi plays a special role as a conduit of Gods blessings to His or Her devotees. The ceremonies done by the priest in the temple turn the stone, wood or crystal image from a simple physical object to a doorway into God's abode in the Brahmaloka through which communication takes place between the physical and spiritual realms. People who do not understand this metaphysical science behind the role of the murthi in the temple will generally mistake the reverence we give to the image as a primitive or lowly form of worhsip.

Is there a Hindu bible? 

When we think of a bible, the picture that comes to mind is the Christian bible or the Islamic Koran. All these books are singular volumes which can easily be shown or referred to as the authoritative scripture of the religion. Does Hinduism have a bible like these other religions? The answer is yes and no. Yes because we do have an authoritative central Scripture in Hinduism. These are called the Vedas. No because it is not a singular volume. 

All Hindus revere the Vedas as the source of Hinduism. It is historically the world's oldest scripture, where scientific dating puts the writing of these Scriptures beyond 5000 years ago (well before the emergence of other scriptures in Hinduism or other religions). The teachings in the Vedas were revealed directly by God to meditating rishis. In Hinduism such God revealed Scriptures are called shruti. These teachings were then passed on orally from guru to sishya and eventually they were written down in ancient books. The revelation of the Vedas to the rishis is similar to God's revelation of Scriptures of the other religions to their prophets.

However unlike the Christian Bible or the Koran, the Vedas is not a singular book. Neither were the teachings in the Vedas revealed to one particular rishi. In fact the Vedas are a collection of books that were written by many (some say thousands) of rishis, most of whom remained anonymous. 


Why do we worship cows? 

The worship of cows in Hinduism is practical application of two fundamental beliefs of Hinduism. The first is the reverance of all life as God. 'seeing God in all beings and things.' regard all of life: humans, animals, plants and the elements as divine manifestations. The worship of the cow is an expression of this reverance of all life as divine. 

The second belief is the importance of ahimsa or the practice of non-violence as the cardinal virtue of spiritual living. 

The question though is why the cow and not another animal? Indeed the worship of the cow is symbolic. The reason the cow was chosen above other animals is mainly out of convenience and the ease with which we can express reverance to it.

The cow is a gentle and easily tamed animal. It is also an animal that is an important provider for the human race. I am of course referring to the milk the cow gives (not the meat!) and its role in the economic activity of rural farming and transportation. One cannot underestimate the role of the cow in life and economics not only of the past but also in present times. Indeed, when we ponder on the importance of the cow in human civilization it is easy to surmise that this animal holds a unique and important role compared to other animals. There is a saying in India that while a mother produces milk for her child only for the first few years of life, Gomatha (mother cow) can provide milk for humans all throughout their life. Thus the cow is easily the most suitable creature for the symbolic worship to revere all manifestations of life.

Must we be Vegetarian?

In Hinduism there is a cardinal virtue called ahimsa. Cardinal means, of the greatest importance or fundamental. Ahimsa means non-violence. The practice of not hurting other living things either through physical force, words and even thoughts is the highest practice of goodness in Hinduism. A person who is able to live a life while observing all the edicts of ahimsa can be considered a saint. Our Hindu gurus and leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi are and were exponents of ahimsa. By extension of observing ahimsa, vegetarianism came to be. Whereby, the ideal practice of ahimsa inflicts no harm to life even in feeding oneself. 


What is Karma?

Karma is a law of nature just like gravity postulated by Hinduism. Karma regulates the consequences to the actions that we do. According to the law of karma, all our actions reap consequences that are equal in nature to our original action, which returns to us at the most appropriate time in our life. To put it simply, the law of karma states that if one does good, good experience of equal measure is received; if one does bad, bad experience of equal measure is received. Sometimes teachers equate karma to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that, for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction. However, karma does not govern motion, instead it governs our deeds.

According to the belief of karma, one shapes ones own destiny through deeds. Thus the happiness or sorrow that we experience in life are the cause of our previous actions.

The goal of karma management is to maximize the creation of good karmas and minimize if not avoid altogether the creation of bad karmas. This is Sanatana Dharma.

Do we believe in reincarnation?

Yes, reincarnation is one of the core beliefs of Hinduism. Reincarnation is closely tied to the Law of Karma. In this life process of being born again, what continues life is our soul. Our soul is the part within us that is immortal. The soul is indestructible. It is not affected by the disease nor death of the body. The soul or atma is the most spiritual part of us. It is our primal identity that God created directly out of Himself. Whereas our body came through our parents our soul came out of God. Thus all souls are children of God. 

The atma goes through cycles of reincarnation on earth to grow spiritually. All our souls share the same goal of life. That is to return to God. My guru used to quip, "just like a how rain drops originated from the oceans, our soul was created by God directly from His Being. Just like how the rain drop eventually falls on earth and merges back into the mighty ocean as a river flows into the ocean, our soul is born on earth many times but will eventually make its way back to reunite with God." 

Sometimes non-hindus who do not understand the process of reincarnation claim that reincarnation is an endless process. That it continues to eternity and as souls we are stuck in it. This is wrong. Reincarnation ends in moksha and according to Hindu scripture and gurus all souls will achieve moksha.

Why do we wear the Tilak? 

The tilak is symbolic of our soul's eye otherwise know as the 'third eye.' The tilak marks the placement of the third eye on our forehead. It is a sensitive spot in the middle of our brow situated slightly above the eyebrows. If your ran your fingers along the middle line of your brow you will be able to sense this sensitive spot. This is the correct placement of the pottu or tilak dot. 

The act of putting the tilak is actually to remind us of our higher spiritual nature that is our soul. That we should endeavour to see and understand life from the higher, inclusive and loving perspective of our soul. It is to remind us to continue striving to perfect weakness in our nature so our personality more and more resembles the peaceful and benevolent nature of our soul. It is also to remind us of our ultimate goal of life, that is to break free from the cycle reincarnation on earth so we may live forever in the Heavens.

Advanced Scientific Concepts in Hindu Literature



The revolutionary contents of the Vedas

For a quick glimpse at what unsung surprises may lie in the Vedas, let us consider these renditions from the Yajur-veda and Atharva-veda, for instance.

" O disciple, a student in the science of government, sail in oceans in steamers, fly in the air in airplanes, know God the creator through the Vedas, control thy breath through yoga, through astronomy know the functions of day and night, know all the Vedas, Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva, by means of their constituent parts."

" Through astronomy, geography, and geology, go thou to all the different countries of the world under the sun. Mayest thou attain through good preaching to statesmanship and artisanship, through medical science obtain knowledge of all medicinal plants, through hydrostatics learn the different uses of water, through electricity understand the working of ever lustrous lightening. Carry out my instructions willingly." (Yajur-veda 6.21). 

" O royal skilled engineer, construct sea-boats, propelled on water by our experts, and airplanes, moving and flying upward, after the clouds that reside in the mid-region, that fly as the boats move on the sea, that fly high over and below the watery clouds. Be thou, thereby, prosperous in this world created by the Omnipresent God, and flier in both air and lightning." (Yajur-veda 10.19). 

" The atomic energy fissions the ninety-nine elements, covering its path by the bombardments of neutrons without let or hindrance. Desirous of stalking the head, ie. The chief part of the swift power, hidden in the mass of molecular adjustments of the elements, this atomic energy approaches it in the very act of fissioning it by the above-noted bombardment. Herein, verily the scientists know the similar hidden striking force of the rays of the sun working in the orbit of the moon." (Atharva-veda 20.41.1-3).

ख्वाजा मुइउद्दीन चिश्ती, अजमेर और भारत इतिहास




यह एक अजीब तथ्य है कि भारत भू पर आने वाले अधिकांश पाकिस्तानी राजनैतिक व्यक्ति अजमेर शरीफ जाने की इच्छा जरूर रखते हैं, सातवीं शताब्दी के मुहम्मद बिन कासिम और उसके बाद महमूद गजनवी और फिर मुहम्मद गौरी तक मध्य एशिया के किसी भी आक्रमणकारी का भारत भू को कब्जाने का स्वप्न पूरा नही हुआ.

ख्वाजा मुइउद्दीन चिश्ती के खंड काल पर दृष्टि डालें और तथ्यों को देखें तो पता चलता है कि चिश्ती वह संत थे, जो मुहम्मद गौरी के साथ भारत आये थे, यह बिना किसी शंका के मान्य है कि भारत भू पर हुए अनेकों आक्रमण और अत्याचारों के बाद भी भारतीय धर्म और संस्कृति लोप नही किये जा सके, किंतु इस को नष्ट करने हेतु जिस सांस्कृतिक आक्रमण का सहारा आज लिया जा रहा है (जिसमे मीडिया, चर्च, राजनैतिक पार्टियां, लव जिहाद इत्यादि), चिश्ती इन आक्रमणो के प्रथम उपयोगकर्ता थे.

मुहम्मद गौरी जैसे एक दुर्दांत व्यक्ति के साथ संत माने जाने वाले व्यक्ति का होना कुछ शंकाओं को जन्म देता है. आखिर एक संत (यदि वह संत है ) एक दुर्दांत रक्त पिपासु के साथ लंबी यात्रा कर के लाहौर से अजमेर तक पहुंचे और रास्ते मे हुए कत्ल ए आम से उसका संतत्व उसे जरा भी ना कटोचे, यह कैसे संभव है. हिंदुत्व सदा से ही ऐसे व्यक्तियों को जो परोपकार हेतु जीते हैं, सम्मान देता आया है. इसी मानसिकता का लाभ उठा कर चिश्ती ने अजमेर मे अपना आश्रम खोला जहां प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को भोजन की व्यवस्था की गई.

अपनी संस्कृति मे पले बढे हिंदू सदा ही परोपकारी व्यक्ति को आस्था और श्रद्धा की दृष्टि से देखते आये हैं. इसी मानसिकता का लाभ सर्वप्रथम चिश्ती ने उठाया, ( इस मानसिकता का लाभ ईसाई मिशनरियां आज भी उठा रही हैं, और परोपकार की आड मे धर्म परिवर्तन का कार्य कर रही हैं), अपने प्रसिद्ध होने और लोगो की आस्था का उपयोग चिश्ती ने भारत मे मुस्लिमों के लिये बेस बनाने के लिये किया.

वह जानता था कि जब तक भारतीय अपनी संस्कृति से जुडे रहेंगे तब तक उन्हे पराजित करना असंभव है, अतः उसने सर्वप्रथम यह किया कि हिंदू और मुस्लिमों के बीच मे एक कडी के रूप मे जुड गया, यह तभी संभव था जब वह हिंदुओं के बीच मे मान्यता प्राप्त कर लेता, इसी हेतु उसने अपने को एक चमत्कारी सूफी संत के रूप मे प्रचारित करना आरंभ किया. ध्यान रहे, अजमेर तत्कालीन राजपूतों की राजधानी था, और राजपूत वह जाति थी जो कभी भी विधर्मियों को स्वीकार नही करती थी. इस प्रकार हिंदू समाज मे अपनी लोकप्रियता का लाभ उसने मुहम्मद गौरी को दिया.

पृथ्वीराज चौहान से तिरस्कृत हो कर उसने कहा कि मैने अजमेर की चाबी कहीं और सौंप दी है, और शायद यह एक संकेत था, जिसे पा कर मुहम्मद गौरी ने पुनः आक्रमण किया, और उस समय तक जयचंद गौरी के साथ मिल चुका था, यह भी पूरी तरह संभव है कि इस मिलाप के पीछे चिश्ती का ही हाथ हो, क्योंकि राजपूत एक ऐसी जाति थी जो किसी भी प्रकार से विधर्मियों के साथ गठ बंधन नही बनाती थी, इसके स्थान पर वह अकेले ही लड कर वीरगति को प्राप्त हो जाना ज्यादा पसंद करते थे. और अपनी विजय का श्रेय भी मुहम्मद गौरी ने चिश्ती को ही दिया, और अपने गुलाम कुतुबुद्दीन एबक को निर्देश दिया कि वहां मंदिरों को तोड कर ढाई दिन मे मस्जिद बनाई जाये, जिसने यह कार्य किया वह मस्जिद आज भी अढाई दिन का झोपडा नाम से प्रचलित है.

यदि चिश्ती संत ही थे, तो कैसे यह बर्दाश्त कर सके कि कोई किसी दूसरे के आस्था के स्थानों को तोड कर वहां अपनी मस्जिदों का निर्माण करे? इस संतत्व के पीछे किसी सुनियोजित योजना की शंका होती है. आज के युग मे देखे, तो इसी प्रकार की योजना ईसाई मिशनरी सभी स्थानों पर अपने धर्म के प्रचार के लिये कर रही हैं. यह चिश्ती की के उस प्रथम प्रयोग का ही अगला चरण प्रतीत होता है जिसकी ने नींव कई शताब्दी पहले चिश्ती ने रखी थी. और शायद यही कारण है कि प्रत्येक पाकिस्तानी वहां जाने को अत्यंत उत्सुक रहता है. शायद ऐसा कर के वह अपने पूर्वजों को भारत मे मुस्लिम संप्रदाय की नींव रखने के लिये धन्यवाद देता है...
