The Bible that is Never Quoted
The Bible that is Never Quoted
The Bible is a book of miscellaneous character. It was composed by many authors, some of whose Names are known and other unknown and handed down by word of mouth for centuries. lt contains Poetry, history, legends, fables, ethics, prophecy, parable, and superstition. The good and bad, beautiful and ugly, savage and tender, are all wonderfully mixed. It is also a very large book without an index or table of contents and as such it is very easy to read it in an uncritical manner, selecting passages that are agreeable and simply ignoring those that are unagreeable or difficult to understand. Hence the necessity for this Book of unusual or little known Biblical quotes, which is chiefly designed for non-Christians and Freethinkers, but should also be of service to inquiring Christians. The object of this compilation is to present a collection of embarrassing verses which are never quoted by missionaries and in most cases little known by the missionaries themselves. The quotes are presented as they appear in the Bible with the chapters and verses for the purpose of cross-reference by interested scholars. The worst things in the Bible have been selected; its self-contradictions, its absurdities, its immoralities, its indecencies, and its brutalities. Many Christians will doubtless object to this way of approaching the Bible. They will probably deny the fairness of dissecting the Bible in this way and presenting the passages out of context. But the apologists of the Christian Scriptures, particularly the evangelicals are constantly occupied in asserting that the Bible is the unquestionable and infallible “Word of the True God”. It is also the way of true morality and everything in their lives has reference to the Bible and what the Bible says on various selective topics — from the election of the president, to war, abortion and homosexuality. Unquestionably it would be grossly unfair to disembowel an ordinary book in this way. But the Bible is not an ordinary book. lt is endorsed in England as “God’s Word” by Act of Parliament, it is believed by many that everything in it is historically and scientifically true. The creation of the world, the origins of the human species, God’s plan for salvation and everything else is the Absolute Truth to millions of pious Christians. Wars were fought over it, Governments rose and fell through it, blood was shed in it’s name, people were conquered and enslaved on its teachings, persecution was justified by its myths and personal prejudices and hatreds were keep inflamed by its quotes. Its supporters use its verses to denigrate and denounce other belief systems and certainly in the past to justify burning people alive. Evangelicals use a highly critical method of examining the Sacred Scriptures of the Hindus in order to expose their flaws and contradictions and to refute them by appealing to logic, science and ethics. None of these methods are ever applied by them to their own Bible which is seen as so sacred and self evidently perfect that any attempt to censure it would be blasphemy warranting the wrath of God and the righteous indignation of pious Christians and punishment. Of an etemal damnation. The verses are presented with minimal commentary in order to allow the Bible to speak for itself and Give evidence in its own name.
Hindus are now the favored target group for the Southern Baptist Evangelicals who are now pouring hundreds and thousands of dollars into the conversion of the Hindus in India. Hindus are seen as an easy target because of their openness, respect for other religions and deep sense of the spiritual.— Values which can easily be exploited in the conversion strategy. The most common strategy is sales. Is to convince the victim of the need for the product been purveyed. This is done by establishing the superiority of the new product over the old product. ln the unlearned populace this is easily done by comparing the best of the new with the worst of the old. Evangelical missionaries learn the basics of Hinduism and then compare the most contentious aspects with the best of Christianity. Stressing all the successes, theological beauty and religious fellowship. Teaching that Hinduism is a product of the devil and how much the damned heathen will benefit from the goodness and truth of Christianity — this is further backed up by the building of Schools, clinics and financial support for the new converts. The Bible is the basis of the Evangelical case. The missionaries have an amazing range of Biblical quotes in their repetoir all designed to show us the error of our ways, to expose our ignorance and to teach us benighted heathens about the “True Living God” and the perils we face in not accepting the presented version of Christianity. Historically Evangelism goes hand in hand with imperialism, chauvinism and western supremacy. The Missionaries of old were always followed by the soldiers and the merchants. The missionaries stole The spirituality of the natives, the soldiers stole their land and the merchants stole their resources. The English imperialist agenda was justified by the pious desire to bring “The light“to the heathens of the Third world! The real agenda was for material exploitation. The genocide practiced by the (Protestant) Founding Fathers of America, by the (Anglican) English in Tasmania, by the (Calvinist) Dutch in South Africa are all well documented historical facts. The Bible indeed, as does all the world’s Scriptures, contains much that is good and sublime. Christianity too has much that is good and positive and acceptable. But the Bible also contains an incredible amount of nonsense, immorality, wickedness and sheer ignorance. The Bible contains such a vast amount of subject matter that it is possible to justify anything and everything from its pages. The new converts, coddled in the niceties of modern day Christianity are never taught the true history of the church, about the wars of religion, the inquisition etc. and how much the Bible was used to justify the imperialist expansion of the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and the English. The entire edifice of Apartheid in South Africa was theologically justified by the Dutch Reformed Church, on the basis of Scripture. The Dutch Calvinists, like the American Protestants saw themselves as the “New Israel“ entering into the land of Canaan (Africa and America respectively.) The pagans that they came across were the “New Canaanites“ of the Old Testament. Therefore it made sense to them that the socio- political policies of Yahweh regarding the “Old Canaanites” viz. total annihilation, was still valid.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the female children who have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31 ;1 7
And when the Lord your God shall deliver them before you, and you shall defeat them; then you shall Utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them. Deut. 7; 2
You shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. Deut 13; 15
But of the cities of these people which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breaths; but you shall utterly destroy them. Deut 20;16
And they utterly destroyed all that were in the city, both men and women, young and old and oxen and sheep and asses, with the edge of the sword. Joshua 6.21
The Lord shall deliver the Moabites also into your hands. And you shall destroy every fortified city, and shall fell every good tree and pollute all the springs of water and mar every piece of land with stones. 2. Kings 3:19
When -the Christian—Europeans arrived in America in 1492 there were an estimated 80 million native Inhabitants — by 1550 only 10 million remained. In Mexico on the eve of the Christian conquest there Were about 25 million people, by 1600 only 1 million remained. In the West Indies almost the entire Population was exterminated. In Santo Domingo in 1492 there were about 1 million inhabitants, by 1530 only 10,000 were left. In Cuba in 1492 there were an estimated 600,000 natives, by 1570 only 270 households remained. In North America too million Native Americans — men, women and Children were slaughtered by the pious “pilgrims” egged on by their fundamentalist Baptist preachers Quoting the above passages and demonising the natives.
Gandhi’s Drama of Non-Violence!
Gandhi’s Drama of Non-Violence!
Union of Violence with Non-Violence (Ahimsa) ?
Gandhi who was a proponent of Ahimsa, suprisingly united with Shaukat Ali, who was famous for his bloodshed in the name of Islam. Shaukat Ali was the most active promoter of armed Jihad in the Khilafat movement. He never declared he would adopt Ahimsa.
(Shodh Gandhincha – Arun Sarathi)
Gandhi’s Silence on Jalianwala Baug Massacre
By Lucknow pact, Gandhi had actually pushed the Muslims who had entered the mainstream society back to the Islamic fanatic middle ages. The British jailed the then leader of Khilafat movement, Maulana Mohammed Ali. But the British terror was so much, that no Muslim even protested let alone begin riots. Gandhi approved of the Islamic Fundamentalist concepts of Hijr, Jihad and Bloody revolution as orders of the Quran as well as the concepts of Kafir and Shahadat. The only person who had opposed this was Barrister Jinna, and he had also accepted political retirement for the same. Soon after, the Muslims got into the habit of rioting which they use even today. So much for the ‘Khilafat’, yet, When the Jalianwala Baug Massacre took place, Gandhi did not even utter a word against the killings until after 6 months !
(Ref : Shodh Gandhincha, by Arun Sarathi)
Gandhi’s Muslim Love!
Unconditional Muslim appeasement as Gandhi’s philosophy Mohandas Gandhi’s philosophy is often assumed to be pillared by ‘Satya’ and ‘ahimsa’. But the fact is that his philosophy was not just ‘Satya’ and ‘Ahimsa’ but also unconditional muslim appeasement. Gandhi’s behavior was inconsistent with Satya and Ahimsa and yet it was always consistent with the principle of Muslim appeasement. Veer Savarkar called his philosophy as ‘tattva – adnyaan’.
(Ref: Gandhi Confusion, by Veer Savarkar)
Blank Cheque facility to Muslims
From 1919 onward, Gandhi began giving several legally questionable and illogical promises to the Muslims to become their undisputed leader ! Gandhi gave them the facility of Blank Che-ques. Due to such facilities, all major Muslim leaders in Bharat became followers of Gandhi.
(Ref: Sacrifice of 55 crores, by Gopal Godse)
Trampling the faith of hundreds of Congress people for one muslim’s fanaticism!
To show respect for Gandhi, congress adopted the Tiranga(Tricolor) with Charkha as its flag, which would be unfurled on every major event of the congress. This flag would be hoisted in all Twilight Rallies and even homes of Gandhi wadis would be decorated with this flag. University students hoisted this flag on the university building to demonstrate their Nationalist Sentiments. In 1946, after the great Hindu Slaughter, Gandhi was roaming around the Tippora region. This same flag was hoisted on his temporary tent. Once a Muslim finding the flag unbearable took objection. Gandhi immediately ordered to take down the flag ! He did not even bother to ask other congress people.
(Ref: Sacrifice of 55 crores, by Gopal Godse)
Changing the history for love of Muslims
Gandhi felt that it was imperative to hide the fact that Muslim Rulers committed atrocities on Hindus and forcibly converted them to Islam. Hence he wrote and mentioned several unhistorical aspects about the muslims.
(Ref: Nathuram and Death Sentence, by Gopal Godse)
Islam spread by the teachings of Fakirs and not by the sword !
Hassan Nizami, a fiercely fanatical muslim leader from the North once met Gandhi. At that time, Gandhi used the following lies to appease the muslims, “I know the secret ofspread of Islam. I am aware that Islam spread not due to sword but by the teachings of Fakirs and Maulavis, the sword has been used to merely protect Muslim culture!”.
(Ref : Writings of Swa. Savarkar)
Ignoring the fatal outlook of Muslims towards Bharat
Muslims did not seem to participate in any constructive movements and internal issues within Bharat. On being asked why it is so, Gandhi casually said, “The allegation is true indeed. Muslims believe they are the descendants of victors,they dont believe or consider Bharat as their motherland. Hence they don’t participate in freedom struggle as much as Hindus do.”
(Ref : The tragedy of partition by H.V. Sheshadri.)
Dr.Ambedkar and his Riddles of Rama
Riddle of Rama
There are n numbers of the followers of Shree Ram. He is known for his Characteristics and for the principles. He is known for moral behavior. He is one from whom we people get the inspiration to follow the noble path. He is one who inspire people of every age group to follow the path of “Dharma”. It is unfortunate that Dr. Ambedkar has fallen in riddle in case of virtues Shi Ram also. Let’s discuss and examine logics of Dr. Ambedkar In case of Riddle of Shri Ram along with the story mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana, which Dr. Ambedkar considered simple and has said that there is nothing sensational about it.
Dr. Ambedkar in his riddle of Rama has mentioned that Dasharath had three wives, Kaushalya, Kaikai and Sumitra besides several hundred concubines.
Vedic principle is only for only one wife. Dhasharatha was having three wives and this is against the Vedic principles. However claim of Dr. Ambedkar is that he was having hundreds of concubines stands nowhere. Story mentioned in the Ramayana does not support the claim of Dr. Ambedkar. In the 6th Sarg of Balkand of Ramayana while explaining about the Dasharath, Valmki has said him “Jitendraya” i.e. one who control his wishes.
बलवान निहितामित्रो मित्रवान विजितेन्द्रिय। बालकाण्ड षष्ठ सर्ग श्लोक – ३
If Dasharath was having several hundreds of concubines, as claimed by Dr. Ambedkar he would not have been called “Jitendriya” by Valmiki.
Dr. Ambedkar proclaims that Rama’s birth is miraculous and it may be that the suggestion that he was born form a pinda prepared by the sage Shrung is allegorical glass to cover the naked truth that he was begotten upon Kaushalya by the sage Shrung although the two did not stand in the relationship of husband and wife.
Claim of Ambedkar is totally baseless. He accuses Kaushalya of having unethical relationship with sage Shrung however fails to provide any corresponding facts about his claim. Ignoring different chapters in Valmiki Ramayana on the birth of Rama and putting forward own baseless story is the allegorical glass in real sense which Ambedkar was using.
Dashrath was not having child. Sage Shrung was invited to perform the Yagya to cure the disease. And different Kings along with the all four “Varns” were invited by Dasharath on this Occasion.
ततः सुमन्त्रमाहूय वसिष्ठो वाक्यमप्रवीत
निमन्त्रयस्व नृपतीन पृथिव्यां ये च धार्मिकाः
ब्राहम्मणान क्षत्रियान वैश्यान शुद्रांश्चैव सहस्रशः।
१९/२० बालकाण्डे त्रयोदश सर्ग
He invited noble people from all the countries. Dashrath asked Sumant to go to Mithila to invite King “Janak” in the same way King of Kahi and king of Kaikay and in-laws of Dashrath was also invited along with his son. Lot of people from different countries were invited to take part in the “Putresthi” yagya. Valmiki says in 13th Sarga of Balkand that Dasharath requests to invite all the kings of south India. He further ask Sumant to invite all the Kings of this earth along with their relatives and supporters. Invitations were send to all the kings and their relatives as per the directions of the Dasharath.
दाक्षिणात्यान नरेन्द्रांश्च समस्तानानयस्व ह
सन्ति स्निग्धाश्च ये चान्ये राजानः पृथिवीतले
तानानय यथा क्षिप्रं सांऊगां सह्बान्धवान्
एतान दुतैर्महाभागैरानयस्व नृपाज्ञया।
२८/२९ बालकाण्डे त्रयोदश सर्ग
Further Valkimi states in “Balkand” that Rishi Shrung perform the putreshti Yagna. He says that “O King! I will perform the “Putreshti yagna” with the Mantras of Atharveda. Purpose of this yagya will be fulfilled on following the process given in Atharveda.
यष्टिं ते हं करिष्यामि पुत्रियां पुत्रकारणात
अथर्व शिरसि प्रोक्तैर्मन्त्रै सिद्धां विधानतः।
२ पंचदश सर्गः बालकाण्ड
At the end of the Yagna Sage Shring prepares the medicine and ask Dashrath to go to their wives and provide the medicine. He assures Dashrath that his wish of having son will come true.
भार्यानामनुरपाणामश्रीतेती प्रयच्छ वै
तासु त्वम् लप्य्स्यसे पुत्रान यदर्थं यजसे नृप।
२० बालकाण्डे षोडश सर्गः
It is clearly stated in the Valmiki Ramayan that it was a mammoth organization in Ayodhaya in which kings from whole world was invited along with their relatives. “Putreshti Yagna” was performed by the Rishis. On the basis of that medicines were prepared by the Rishis and handed over to Dashrath to get his wish fulfilled.
In the light of above facts baseless allegation of Dr. Ambedkar stands nowhere. Neither the facts of Ramayana supports his claims nor has he given any basis of what he has written. It seems complete baseless result less attempt to malign the image of Noble person Shree Ram.
Dr Ambedkar further writes that “Valmiki states in his Ramyanana by emphasizing the fact that Ram is an Avatar of Vishnu”.
It is something which he has written on the basis of adulterate verses of Ramayana. Stand is not made on the basis of adulterated verses. As the Rama is called incarnation of Vishnu on the same basis Mahatma Buddha is also declared incarnation of Vishnu. But the verses of Bhagavat puran (Pratham Skandh, third Chapter) declaring Mahatma Buddha as incarnation of Vishnu will not be acceptable to any of the follower of Buddha or the follower Ambedkar as the adulterated verses doesn’t have any base.
Dr. Ambedkar writes that according to the Valmiki Ramayana Sita is not the natural born child found by a farmer in his field while ploughing it and presented by him to king Janaka and brought up by Janka. It was there superficial sense that Sita could be said to be the daughter of Janaka.
This claim is again on the basis of adulterated verses. Dr. Ambedkar has ignored deliberately or un deliberately verses of Ramayana stating that Sita was the daughter of King Janak and his wife.
Swami Vidyanand saraswati writes that how it can be considered that Sita was born from earth when in Valmiki Ramayana at many places Sita is called “Aatmaj” of Janka (वर्धमानां मम आत्मजः। बालकाण्ड ६६/१५ , जनकात्मजे (युद्ध ११/१८ ), जनकात्मजा ( रघुवंश १३/७८ )
“Aatmajah” stand for generated from his own body.
During her stay in forests, Sita discusses with Anusuiya in the Aashrama of Atri Muni that :
प्राणी प्रदाने च यत्पुरा तवाग्नि सन्निधौ
अनुशिष्टम् जनन्या में वाक्यं तदपि में धृतम।
अयोध्या कांड ११८ /८-९
Whatever advises given to me by my mother at the time of my marriage I have not forgotten that. I have adopted all that in my behavior.
Whether in this statement, of describing the advices at the time of marriage, Earth can be called the advisor? Whether it was earth who weep while sending Sita with the Rama? Tulaseedas even has noted the name of her mother as Sunayana.
जनक वाम दिसि सोह सुनयना,
हिमगिरि संग बनी जिमी मैना।
रामचरितमानस ३५६/२
In the Ramayana at the time of marriage name of 22 forefathers of Rama have remembered in the same manner name of forefathers of Sita have been also remembered. If earth would have been the mother of Sita in that case who would be called the forefathers of earth?
Sita coming out of the earth is a gross gossip which Dr. Ambedkar has used in riddle. It is total hearsay. Neither the Valmiki Ramayana Support this fact nor the common sense.
Dr Ambedkar further states that according to Buddha Ramayana, Sita was the sister of Rama, both were the children of Dasharatha. He further states that “Among the Aryans marriage between brothers and sisters were allowed.
This is again the imagination of the Dr. Ambedkar and the writer of Buddha Ramayana. Ancient text that is available about the Rama is Valmiki Ramayana. And other books about the Ram were written in later years. But that Ram and Sita was brother and sister is not supported by any of the version of Ramayan.
In supporting his views Dr. Ambedkar has proclaimed that in Aryans marriage between brothers and sisters were allowed. This is again completed baseless allegation which Dr. Ambedkar has put forward. It shows the ignorance of Dr. Amebdkar regarding the topic he was writing.
Oldest law of this earth is Manu Smriti. Aryans have been following it up for sagas to sagas. Let’s see what Manu Smriti says about the marriage part.
असपिण्डा च या मातुरगोत्रा च या पितुः
सा प्रशस्ता द्विजातीनां दारकर्मणि मैथुने
“A girl, who is not descended on his mother’s side within the sixth degree and does not bear the same family name (Gotra) as his father’s. is eligible for marriage.” MANU 3: 5.
In the absence of evidence about the allegation, and in the presence of clear law of Manu who can say that Sita and Rama was brother and sister?
Dr. Ambedkar further says that Rama was not monogamous and was having many wives along with lot of concubines. But the reference provided by Dr. Ambedkar does not confirm his allegation that Shri Ram was having many wives or concubines.
Dr. Ambedkar has alleged Rama to abandon Sita in a state of pregnancy and for the murder of Shambuk etc.
This again a combinations of adulterated verses on which Dr. Ambedkar has relied. He has forgotten to consider that Valmiki has written Ramayana as it was elaborated by Narada to him. Narada had elaborated story up to the Lanka war. In that case how Valmiki would have written the Uttar kand .Full of these rubbish stories used to malign the images of Rama.
In the Balkand 1st Sarag , Naradas says :
नंदीग्रामे जटाम हित्वा भ्रातृभि सहितो नघ :
रामः सीतामनुप्राप्य राज्यम पुनर वाप्तवान्।
After completing his tenure of forest stay Rama took hair cut at Nandi village and lived in the Ayodhya.
Swami Vidyanand Saraswati writes that when story was heard by Valmiki upto the stage of coming back to Ayodhya, how one can claim that Rama abandon the Sita in the stage of pregnancy and murdered Shambuk. All these stories are baseless and part of adulteration. There is not base of these stories mentioned in Balkand of the Valmeeki Ramayan. Tulasee das has also completed his Ramcharitmanas on the Yuddha kand and all these baseless stories does not have their place in Ramcharitmanas.
As well as in the Mahabharat, Ramayan story is mentioned with the name of “Ramopakhyan” and their also story of ram is completed on the Yudhdh kand. All other stories are not in Mahabharat also.
We can conclude on the facts given from Valmiki Ramayana, Ramcharitmanas and from the Mahabharat that the claims raised by Dr. Ambedkar on Rama are baseless and does not stand anywhere and these are either not supported by any verses of the Ramayana or are written on the basis of adulterated version in the same way as Mahatma Buddh is said as avatar of Vishnu. 🙂

फिर जब आर्य प्रतिनिधि सभा पंजाब यौवन में आई तो महात्मा पार्टी में यह प्रश्न सामने खड़ा हुआ की महत्मा दुर्गा प्रसाद जी समान यदि सभा अंग्रेजी में वेदों के अनेक सूक्तो के अनुवाद कराकर अपने आर्य High Schools में दाखिल कर दे तो जो विष University द्वारा रचित Vedic Readers देश के Colleges में फैला रही है वह दूर हो सकेंगा | बहुपक्ष महात्मा दल का स्वर्गीय श्री पं गुरुदत्त जी के मत का था और जिस प्रकार उन्होंने अपनी कुटी में दो संस्कृत वर्ग खोल थे, उसी प्रकार के वर्ग खोलने के लिए Gurukula बनाने की Scheme उक्त दल के नेता महात्मा श्री मुंशी राम जी को सूझी और उन्होंने गुरुदत्त जी की स्कीम को संजीवन करने के लिए गुरुकुल कांगडी को जन्म दिया |
इसके पीछे जब एक सनातनी पंडित ने मुरादाबाद से एक पुस्तक लिख कर सत्यार्थ प्रकाश तथा उक्त निरुक्त शैली द्वारा ऋषि दयानंद व आर्य पंडितो के वेदार्थ करने का खंडन किया तो स्वर्गस्थ पूज्य श्री पं तुलसीराम जी स्वामी मेरठ निवासी ने अपना अमर ग्रन्थ भास्कर प्रकाश रच कर निरुक्त शैली से वेदार्थ करने की महिमा दर्शा दी |
आर्य सामाजिक पत्रों में वह सज्जन जो वेद में इतिहास मानना चाहते है, वह एक मंत्र पेश किया करते है, जिसमे त्रित शब्द आता है और इसको लिखकर कूप में गिरे हुए ऋषि की कथा ठोका करते है | उक्त स्थल का प्रमाण तथा युक्ति पूर्ण खंडन पं श्री तुलसीराम जी के उक्त ग्रन्थ में मिलता है | जिसका खंडन आज तक कोई भी सायण भक्त व इतिहास वादी नहीं कर सका |
अंत में वेद शब्द के अर्थ संसार भर के संस्कृत तथा Sanskrit English कोष तो Knowledge वा विद्या के करे और वेद को परम शास्त्र संस्कृत साहित्य लिखे | शास्त्र शब्द के अर्थ कोई भी विद्वान महाभारत आदि इतिहास ग्रन्थ के नहीं करेंगा | आप्टे कृत कोष तो Knowledge or science शास्त्र शब्द के अर्थ करे, फिर वेद को परम शास्त्र भी मानते जाओ साथ ही इतिहास ग्रन्थ कहते जाओ | यह बात भला कोई तर्क प्रिय जिज्ञासु कैसे सत्य मान सकता है ?

The body parts affected by disease should be thoroughly washed with the mixture of Cow Urine and activated water. The nearest to the disease parts of the body should also be washed with mixture of Gomutra and activated water. This is the most potent remedy blessed by Rudra for giving healthy life to us for the treatment of these diseases.
हे परिचारको, (जालाषेण) जल से- गोमूत्र फेनामिश्रित जल से (अभिषिञ्चत) व्रण को अच्छी तरहधोओ । (जालाषेण) उसी जलोषध से (उप सिंञ्चत) उस के समीपस्थ भाग को प्रक्षालन करो ।क्योंकि (जलाषम् उग्र भेषजम्) गोमूत्र फेन मिश्रित जल रोगिनिवृत्ति की उग्र दवाई है। हे रुद्ग(तेन) उस औषधि से (जीवसे न मृड) जीवन प्रदान करने के लिए हम पर कृपा करो।अथर्ववेद संहिता , सनातन-भाष्येनोपेतः, माधवपुस्तकालयः ।
AV 6.57.3 शं च नो मयश्च नो मा च नः कि चनाममत् । क्षमा रपो विश्वं नोअस्तुभेषजं सर्वं नो अस्तु भेषजम् ॥ अथर्व 6-57-3
Let there be health for us, peace for us, pleasure for us, let nothing cause injury and harm to us, let all diseases be banished, let all the objects in this world be promoters of our health,
हे देव हमें आरोग्य और सुख मिले। हमारी प्रजा पशु आदि कोई भी रोग ग्रस्त न हो। पापकी शान्ति हो। स्थावर जंगम यह समस्त विश्व हमारे लिए औषधिरूप हों । सब कुछ औषधिरूप हो।
These Veda mantras describe the Urine of Cow to be the ultimate treatment against unicellular amoeba like organisms (Vedas call them creatures without mouths) . Use of the cow urine is suggested as a mixture with vigorously stirred – foaming water- activated water, similar to the making of Homeopathic & Bio dynamic preparations. Modern techniques to treat water describe such water variously as ‘Activated water, Alkalized water, Structured water etc. Russian scientists are reported to have done considerable research work on such water. In addition to germicidal properties of such water, great improvements in Soil fertility by improving the microorganisms in the soil, and increased agricultural crop production when irrigated with such waters have been reported. In addition to study of germicidal actions of Ganga Jal in view of above references in Vedas, It is a matter for our agriculture scientists to also investigate whether irrigation with Ganga Jal gives larger crop productions.
MAKAR SANKRANTI
शुभ उत्तरायणोदय-मकरसंक्रांति अथर्ववेद 3.10
लेखक – सुबोध कुमार
MAKAR SANKRANTI
तिलवत् स्निग्धं मनोऽस्तु वाण्यां गुडवन्माधुर्यम्
तिलगुडलड्डुकवत् सम्बन्धेऽस्तु सुवृत्तत्त्वम् ।
अस्तु विचारे शुभसङ्क्रमणं मङ्गलाय यशसे
कल्याणी सङ्क्रान्तिरस्तु वः सदाहमाशम्से ॥
– अज्ञात
Meaning of the subhAShita:
May the mind be affectionate like sesame seeds, may there be sweetness in thy words as in jaggery.
May there be goodness in thy relations as is in the relation of sesame and
jaggery in a laddoo.
May there be in thy thoughts a concurrence towards auspicious glory.
I always wish that may the festival of sankraanti prove to be blessed and
auspicious for one and all.
Commentary:
The festival of harvest, sankraanti, is celebrated on January 14th generally. (Occasionally, it falls on the 15th of Jan). This is one of those festivals that follow the solar axis and hence the date doesn’t change much with every year, like with other festivals that follow the lunar calendar. It is the time when the axis of the Sun enters the zodiac sign Capricorn (makara). Hence it is also referred to as ‘makara sankraanti‘. sankraanti litera
A celebration of harvest and crop is unanimous with the Sun, he being the basic originator of the entire food chain! Without Him, there would be no energy for the plant sources and without plant sources, there would be no energy transmission to the carnivores either. The Sun being the sustenance for the very life on earth, is worshiped and thanked on this day.
Many people throw away old clothes and buy new ones, marking the beginning of good times. Sharing til-gud (a mixture of sesame seeds and jaggery) is customary among many people who celebrate this festival. The combination oftil-gud is not only tongue tickling, but very enticing as well. The poet beautifully wishes that kind of enticement into the spoken words and relationships of everyone! When there is harmony in mind thoughts, actions and words, then there is no stopping, the un-abound happiness one can attain in his very being. What better can one wish for his near and dear ones!
May the Sun radiate Health, Happiness and Harmony into the lives of one and all.
