The Stupidity Of The Ayodhya Dispute

Ayodhya dispute: A saga that shaped history nears end

One God created everything there is. It is not like one God created America, but another God created India, and a third God created Saudi Arabia, and a fourth still created China, but the Chinese don't know it yet. There is one creator God who spoke the entire universe into existence. Have you noticed? The same laws of physics seem to apply everywhere in the universe? There is such fine tuning. The moon needed to be just the right size and just the right distance to make for a stable earth. Jupiter needed to be big enough to take all the hits from beyond the solar system and protect earth. So, no, it is not true that the God of the Arabs created the Muslim countries, and the God of the Hindus created India.

You have to ask, who were the Muslims praying to in the Babri Masjid? And who is Lord Rama who the Hidus will now worship in the Rama Mandir that they will now erect on that same spot? Let's look at the Muslim and the Hindu scriptures.

Hindus say Lord Rama was a human incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Some Muslims argue it is not possible for God to show up on earth in human form. Those same Muslims say God's power is infinite. As in, there is nothing that God can not do. So, God can do everything except show up on earth in human form? Does not make sense. Of course God has the power to show up on earth in human form. "With God all things are possible."

Is it possible that the Muslims were praying to Lord Vishnu in the Babri Masjid that some Hindus demolished? And now Hindus will worship Lord Rama, a human incarnation of that same Lord Vishnu, in the temple they will build on that same spot?

Hindus say Bramha, the creator, emerged out of Vishnu's navel. About that same thing Christians say, the Son of God, was "begotten, not made." The Holy Father gave birth to the Holy Son. Which means that which the Jews and the Christians call Yahweh, the Hindus call Lord Vishnu.

But, wait, Muslims don't think God has a son, because that is what is stated explicitly in the Quran.

Ishmael was denied. When Abrahan had to let go of Ishmael, God said to him, don't worry, I will make a nation out of him also. That nation is the nation of Islam. Or maybe God has not fulfilled his promise yet. But he has. Islam is not a false religion.

God denying his very own Son in the Quran is an act of love. Ishmael was denied.

Christians say, God so loved humanity, He sacrificed His own Son. The God who can sacrifice His own Son for love of humanity of course is capable of denying His own Son for the love of humanity.

That who the Hindus call Shiva, the Christians call the Holy Spirit.

The Jews are a nation of priests, but then so are the Brahmins of India, priests by birth, generation after generation.

If a Hindu were to insist that he will worship Lord Rama but not Lord Krishna, that would be ignorant, don't you think? Both are human incarnations of the same Lord Vishnu. Similarly, the Ayodhya dispute is Hindus saying we will only worship Lord Rama in His human form, we do not recognize his form (or, rather, formlessness) from before he was Lord Rama and after He was no longer Lord Rama.

There is no God but God.

Islam is simply an Arabic word that means surrender. The most famous Christian prayer says the same thing: "Thy will be done, in heaven as on earth." Before Jesus went on the cross, he prayed: "Take this cup away from me, if you will, yet not my but thy will be done." Jesus surrendered to the will of Allah, God.

Allah is an Arabic word that means God. In Sanskrit, the word is Ishwar. Allah is Lord Vishnu denying to the Muslims that Bramha ever emerged out of his navel because, well, Ishmael was denied.

बाबरी मस्जिद में भगवान राम की ही तो पुजा हो रही थी




येशु आएगा ये बात प्रथम बार भगवान कृष्ण ने गीता में तब कहा, ५,००० साल पहले, जब बाइबल की एक शब्द नहीं लिखी गई थी। Adam paradise से किक आउट हुवा ४,००० साल पहले, तो कुछ लोग कहते हैं इस पृथ्वी की आयु ४,००० साल है। गलत कहते हैं। भगवान कृष्ण ५,००० साल पहले। उससे पहले ७,००० साल पहले भगवान राम।

गीता में कहा गया है ये ब्रह्माण्ड ६ बिलियन साल से ज्यादा तक रहेगी। अभी का जो स्वर्ग है वो १०० बिलियन साल तक कायम रह चुकी है। और एक cosmic cycle १५०,००० बिलियन साल का होता है। Cosmic cycle जब ख़त्म होता है तो सिर्फ पिता परमेश्वर और पुत्र परमेश्वर बाँकी रह जाते हैं। बाँकी जितने being हैं, चाहे angel या मनुष्य, सबको परमेश्वर अपने womb में वापस ले लेते हैं। उसके बाद एक नया cosmic cycle शुरू।

उस पिता परमेश्वर को हिंदु विष्णु कहते हैं। उन्हें यहुदी Yahweh कहते हैं। मुसलमान उन्हें अल्लाह कहते हैं। क्रिस्चियन उन्हें Holy Father कहते हैं। उनका पहला मानव अवतार भगवान राम। यानि कि बाबरी मस्जिद में भगवान राम की ही पुजा हो रही थी। सिख उन्हें अल्लाह और राम दोनों नाम से जानते हैं।

Holy Son जिन्हें क्रिस्चियन कहते हैं उन्हें ही हिन्दु ब्रम्ह कहते हैं, यहुदी Wisdom के नाम से जानते हैं और Holy Daughter कहते हैं। उस Wisdom अर्थात ब्रम्ह का पहला मानव अवतार येशु २,००० साल पहले। दुसरा मानव अवतार मैं।

ब्रम्ह ने हिंदु को वेद दिया। उसी ब्रम्ह को हिन्दु लगातार २,००० साल तक नकार चुका है। अजीब बात नहीं? कहते हो रामभक्त हैं। उसी राम के मंदिर को तोड़ दिया। उसी परमेश्वर के मानव अवतार स्वीकार लेकिन उनका जो unmanifest रूप है वो अस्वीकार?

भगवान कृष्ण ने गीता में कहा है, मेरे दिखाए हुवे रास्ते पर १०,००० में एक लोग चलेंगे और जितने चलेंगे उसमें से १०,००० में एक सफल होंगे। लेकिन Wisdom (यानि कि ब्रम्ह यानि कि येशु) के रास्ते पर चलने वाले सभी paradise पहुँच सकते हैं, चाहे कितना ही पापी क्युँ न हो। ये बात येशु के आने से पहले ३,००० साल पहले भगवान कृष्ण ने कहा।

पृथ्वी एक, स्वर्ग सात। लेकिन जिसे सबसे उपर सातवें स्वर्ग तक पहुँचना है वो वहाँ येशु के रास्ते नहीं पहुँच सकते, उन्हें भगवान श्री कृष्ण के दिखाए रास्ते ही जाना होगा, और वो है योग का रास्ता। अब ५,००० साल बाद शायद ratio बदला जा सकता है। शायद अब १०,००० में एक नहीं १,००० में एक संभव हो जाये। बगैर प्रयास के कैसे पता चलेगा?

यानि की हिन्दु सब baptize हो जाओ और क्रिस्चियन सब के सब योग करने लगो।

जरा सोंचो, सर्वशक्तिमान पिता परमेश्वर जो कुछ भी कर सकते हैं, omnipotent, omniscient, उनके जन्मभुमि पर कोइ उनके अलावे किसी दुसरे का मंदिर बना सकता था क्या?

अच्छा यही होगा कि उस जगह पर मंदिर मस्जिद दोनों बने side by side ताकि उनके मानव अवतार की भी पुजा हो और उनके formless, unmanifest रूप की भी।

गीता को समझने के लिए कोरान पढ्ने की जरुरत होती है।

Arjuna said:

What is it that drives a man
to an evil action, Krishna,
even against his will,
as if some force made him do it?

(Geeta 3:36)

इस प्रश्न को भगवान कृष्ण deflect कर देते हैं क्यों कि उतर के लिए न उस समय अर्जुन तैयार था न मानव जाति। इस प्रश्न का पुर्ण जवाब मिलेगा आपको कोरान में जहाँ खुल के शैतान (Satan) का जिक्र किया गया है।

God So Loved Humanity He Denied His Own Son

Gospel में एक जगह जिजस (येशु) कहता है, यदि तुम में श्रद्धा है तो तुम पहाड़ उठा सकते हो। वो हनुमान के बारे में कहा गया। हनुमान से बढ़ के कोई भक्त पैदा ही नहीं हुवा।

India, Nowhere Close To An "Emergency"

English: cropped photograph of L K Advani with...

Advani's remarks are an unfortunate attempt to become relevant again. Politicians in Nepal similarly refuse to get the work done on federalism and the constitution because, as soon as the work is done, they are going to become irrelevant. Who in their right mind wants to become irrelevant?

People like Laloo and Mulayam rode the Mandal wave. Advani rode the Kamandal wave. Ab to Development Wave chal raha hai. Developent Wave ne Mandal aur Kamandal dono ko nigal liya hai. Modi's background makes him the ultimate Mandal, and his clear majority win makes him the ultimate Kamandal as well.

Adavani "Hindu rate of growth" jamane ke log hain. 2% aur 3% se kam chala lete the us samay mein log. When people like Nitish idolize him at a personal level, that is fine. But when they idolize him politically, main to confuse ho jata hoon. 

The BJP is a big tent. Us mein kism kism ke log hain. Kuchh log ultra conservative hain, kuchh Islamophobic log bhi hain, kuchh sexist log hain, actually dher sare sexist log hain, to tarah tarah ke log hain.

Lekin Advani aur Modi mein to Modi jyada liberal dikhte hain. Advani ne Ram Mandir ke naam par desh mein utna uthal puthal machaya tha. Bhul gaye?

Advani senior log hain. Aadar milni chahiye. There is no doubt about that. Shayad usi aadar bhav mein kami kamjori ho gayi hogi, to unhone hostile interview de dala. Ghabrane ki baat nahin hai. India is a democracy. Log to bolenge hi.

Laloo aur Advani dono ek jagah kisi mudde par aa jayenge, ye mujhe nahin maloom. Lekin aa gaye, emergency ke masale par. To wo po purani baat hai. 

India mein abhi emergency ki koi sambhavana nahin, koi gunjayas nahin. Waise Advaniji ne news mein aane ke liye kah diya.

Ayodhya: I Like The Idea Of Both Temple And Mosque


Apparently this is not a new idea. It was suggested during the time of Rajiv Gandhi before the demolition of the Babri Mosque, but was not entertained. Maybe enough water has flown down the Ganga and emotions have quietened down.











This is about India's global aspirations. This is about India wanting to be a global superpower. Forget weapons. This is about soft power. This is about diversity and democracy and diplomacy, three Ds as Modi might say.

India needs to send a message that Muslims and Hindus can live side by side, can co-exist, can thrive together. If Hindus and Muslims can not live happily together, India can kiss its global aspirations good bye.

This is not about history. This is about today. What do you want today?

If India can resolve this, it can hope to play a decisive role in Mideast peace, a lot of which also seems to be about ridiculous real estate.

My only suggestion is, that 100 meter wall, how about making it out of glass? Like in the Apple stores?
