Objections to the Creationism of the Bible

The whole edifice of Christian theology of Salvation finds it’s origins in the Biblical account of creation and the subsequent fall of man — necessitating the final salvation through Jesus Christ. So we begin our critique with this myth. The fundamentalists would have us believe that God created the world from nothing (ex nihilo). The world was created according to Genesis in 6 days, then God tired from his labour and took rest on the seventh day, which was consecrated as a holy day. (The original day was Saturday which Emperor Constantine changed to Sunday). If this is accepted as a Myth — meaning a description which explains an inexplicable Truth, then there is no problem. When it is presented as historic and cosmological fact then some questions call for answers. The first major problem that faces us with the story of creation is that there are two distinct and Mutually contradictory accounts.

Genesis 1; 1-31

The earth is formless and void — water is in a state of chaos.

Day 1. God creates the light through speech and separates it from darkness, calls light day and darkness night.

Day 2. Divides the waters upwards and downwards by the sky.

Day 3. Gathers the waters below the sky into the sea, and dry land (earth) appears. Creates vegetation.

Day 4. Creates sun, moon and stars. Day 5. Creates creatures of the sea and birds, and sea monsters (ta‘inim).

Day 6. Creates cattle and all earth creatures,then creates both male and female (Adam & Eve).

Day 7. Takes rest from His handiwork.

Genesis 2; 4-25

The earth is barren and dry

Step 1. A spring gushes out and waters the entire earth.

Step 2. God creates Adam from the dust.

Step 3. God plants a garden to the east — Eden, together with the tree of life and the tree of good & evil.

Step 4. God puts Adam in the garden to work as a gardener.

Step 5. Makes animals to be his companions so that he won’t be lonely. He brings each one to Adam to name it.

Step 6. Adam still has no helper and so God creates Eve from his rib.

Objection 1. The creation ex nihilo?

There is no definite statement that the world was created from nothing. The first verse “ln the beginning God created heaven and earth” is a statement introducing a subject about to be taught ie. the creation of heaven and earth. There was either a pre-existent chaos in which earth and water and sky were all combined and undifferentiated or the first thing that God did was to create a chaos and then set about sorting it out.

Objection 2. Day & Night without the Sun?

God separates light from darkness and calls the light Day and the darkness Night. (Genesis 1;4) Then three days later he creates the sun.(Genesis 1;16) How is it possible for day to exist without the sun? Every school child knows that the day and night are created by the movement of the earth. The Fundamentalist will perform all kinds of exegetical gymnastics to get out of this quandary. Saying that the Day referred to is not an actual day, and the Night is not an actual night — none of which is borne out by the text which uses the words in a simple and straight forward manner, affirming that day and night were alternating with each other.

Objection 3. Canopy of the sky?

According to Genesis 1; 6-8 God separates the waters by means of the canopy of the sky. There is water below which is the sea and there is another body of water above the sky. Seeing that water is a physical substance this canopy too must be a physical substance. Yet millions of people have flown in aircraft above the clouds, space ships and satellites have regularly been sent into space yet never has there been any report of vast bodies of water beyond the sky! Nor a canopy that has been pierced.

Objection 4. Creation of Man

We are told that God created animals first and then followed with the creation of man (Adam) and woman (Eve) at the same time. We are then told that he first created Adam, then he created the animals to be companions to him. When this does not alleviate Adam’s loneliness he takes a rib and creates woman (Eve) to be his companion. An evangelical friend of mine understood the second account to be an elaboration of the first account. But he still could not adequately explain how the animals were created before Adam and then again after him.

Objection 5. Human-like Activities of God.

Genesis 2; 8 tells us that God then took to gardening and planted a garden in the east called Eden. He then gave Adam and Eve to live in the garden. In the cool of the evening He used to stroll about in the garden4alking to himself (Genesis 3;8). Where Adam and Eve hide themselves from him, he couldn’t find them and called out to them(Genesis 3;9). He then interrogates them about their indiscreet behaviour and curses them. This episode clearly demonstrates that God is very much a physical being with physical limitations and is not yet omniscient. If the East spoken of is a geographic east why is it that the garden of Eden has never been found? If it is acknowledged by our Fundamentalist friend to be spiritual realm, then surely the account cannot be historic! History pertains to the realm of scientific investigation not to the realm of mythological speculation! The two views are incompatible. One Evangelical that I was discussing this subject with told me that the garden had been destroyed in the flood! Tree of life and all! (There is no indication of this in the Bible to my knowledge!)

Objection 6. The existence of other Peoples

Adam and Eve had two sons — Qayn and Hevel, Qayn killed Hevel, God then inquires from Qayn what has happened to his brother (Gen. 4;10) In the dialogue that follows Qayn expresses fear that he will be victimized and the Lord acknowledging the reality of his fear promises to protect him (Gen. 4; 15).Qayn then departs to the land of Nod where he marries and has children (Genesis 4; 16). It seems like the creator suddenly has a memory lapse, the entire population of the earth is three; Adam, Eve and Qayn, so who does Qayn fear and from whom will God protect him? Where did those people in the land of Nod come from? Who made them? If this is an historical account we must come to the logical conclusion that other creators were at work oblivious of each other’s agendas!

Objection 7. Lifespan exceeding 800 years

We then have a genealogical table of Adam’s descendants all whom live not less than 800 years! Seeing that a year has always been exactly 12 months except in a leap year it is impossible to accept that our pre-flood ancestors actually lived for 800 + years!

Objection 8. God’s lack of knowledge

The people began building a tower to ascend to heaven (Gen 11;4) God (elohim) came down from heaven to see what they were doing (Gen 11;5) He became worried because nothing would prevent them from doing what they have imagined to do (Gen 11;6) God (elohim) then says “let us divide their languages so that they will become confused and their work will be obstructed” (Gen 11;7) From this “historical” account we learn that God lives up in the sky beyond the clouds, his vision is limited so he cannot see clearly from were he is. He is compelled to descend from the sky to observe what the people are doing. He becomes worried because they can and will reach heaven if they continue building and so he and his colleagues (“let us“) divide the languages, cause confusion and so foil the plot by humans to ascend to heaven!!

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!

mahatma-gandhi-quote-nonviolence-is-a-weapon-of-the-strong

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.)

प्रोफ़ेसर मैक्समुलर ने सब से पहले जब लिखा की ऋग्वेद संसार के पुस्तकालय में सब से प्राचीनतम है अब इस लिए भारत के अन्य संस्कृत के भारतीय हिंदू विद्वान भी इसके साथ ही “ चारो वेदों “ को प्राचीनतम ग्रन्थ लिखने लगे है | यदि मैक्समुलर लिख जाता की सायण अंधे की वैसाखी नहीं हो सकती, किन्तु “ निरुक्त “ ही पुराने ववेद के प्राचीनतम शब्द समझने का दीपक है तो फिर हमारे देश के संस्कृत के भारी बाबू विद्वान आज तर्क युक्त वैज्ञानिक अर्थ स्वयं करते हुए सर्वत्र दिखाई देते है और “ वैदिक निघंटु “ और उसके भाष्य “ निरुक्त “ को चार चाँद लग जाते | महामुनि पंडित त्यागवीर श्री ग्रुरुदत्त जी “ M.A  science professor Lahore ने अपने सब ग्रन्थ अंग्रेजी में लिखे है और यह open secret  है की वह अमेरिका में अपने ग्रंथो तथा Vedic magazine का भारी प्रचार करने के लिए महात्मा गाँधी के समान, नहीं, नहीं किसी अंश में उनसे भी बढ़कर प्राणों की बाजी लगा गए | अमर शहीद पूज्य स्वामी श्रद्धानंद जी सदा अपने लेखो तथा अपने भाषणों में “ तपस्वी महामुनि पंडित गुरुदत्त जी को ‘जिन्दा शहीद ‘ कहा करते थे | कौन नहीं जानता की गुरुदत्त सचमुच “ अमेरिका में वेदिक सन्देश पहुचने के लिए अपने उस शरीर को जो पहलवानी शरीर था यौवन काल में एक एक इंच करके त्यागने लगे | आर्य समाज के वृद्ध नेता श्री “केदारनाथ जी” थापड लाहौर निवासी ईश्वर कृपा से अभी जीवित है, वह मुनिवर की निम्न दिनचर्या की साक्षी दे सकते है |

गर्मी की ऋतु है, जेठ-मास चल रहा है | गुरुदत्त जी लाहौर के कुचा ‘जोड़े-नोरी’ में अपने घर की सब से उप्पर की छत वा ममटी पर चुभने वाली मुंज के परम सस्ते एक अर्ध कसी व “ढीली खाट” पर बिना धरी, बिना तकिया और बिना कोई वस्त्र के पहने सो रहे है | जिस वक़्त कुक्कुट पहली बांग के लिए बोलता है, ठीक उस समय वह कभी-कभी उस से भी पहले महा मुनि जी उठकर चोला पहन १० व १२ मूल उपनिषदों का गुटका एक जेब में दूसरी जेब में मूल योग दर्शन और तीसरी में “ प्रशस्तपाद “ नामी आर्ष ग्रन्थ लिए घर से तीन व चार मिल बाहर गोल बाग से परे “ बाग बानपुरा “ की सीमा वा चुबरजा के आगे इस तेजी से चलते हुए पहोचते है मानो सादारण घोडा सहज दौड रहा है | वहा एकांत जंगल में यह प्रथम “ दिशा जंगल “ जाते है अपने महले पर पुष्कल मीठी दाल देते है | जैसा की मनु शास्त्र में लिखा है | फिर चलते हुए कुए पर दन्त धावन तथा स्नान करते है और एक जेब में से लोटा तथा कपडे दोने का स्वदेशी “ मुल्तानी “ टिक्की है उसे निकाल खूब हाथ मार कर दोभी समान अपनी कोपीन, धोती और चोला व लंबा कुर्ता जेबो वाला दाल देते है | सुखी कोपीन एक जेब से निकाल कर धारण कर एक उर्नासन को जो कमर अंदर लपेट लाए थे धोती के उप्पर कमरपेटी की जगह उस को बिछाकर पूर्व की मुख कर “ गायत्री मंत्र “ का उच्चारण उच्चे स्वर से करने के पिच्छे कम से कम एक घंटा तक ओम का मन में जप तथा ध्यान योग व योग्यभ्यास करते है | इसके पिच्छे कम से कम आधा घंटा वह उपनिषद के एक वचन पर मनन करते वा योगदर्शन की बारी है तो उसके किसी मूल सूत्र पर मनन करते वा प्रशस्तपाद की बारी है तो उसका एक पृष्ट बाचते तथा मनन करते | फिर सूर्य चढ़ने के पिच्छे सब वस्तु संग लेकर बिजली के वेग से चलते हुए सिद्धे चुपचाप मार्ग में किसी से बात न करते हुए घर बहुचते और जिस कोठारी में Vedic Magazine लिखनी है- उसी कोठे में उनके “जेठा नामी” नौकर हवन लकड़ी सामग्री घृत आदि रखे हुए है | हवन करते वक्त संस्कार विधि उनके हाथ में जरुर होती थी वह पास रखी रहती थी,चाहे मंत्र वह बिना पुस्तक देखे मुख से क्यों न बोले अब वह गौ दूध एक गिलास मुल्तानी खांड सहित पिया करते व बिना खांड के कभी-कभी इस समय दूध न पीकर लेमुं का शरबत जो घर में बने पिया करते बिना बर्फ डाले | इसके पिच्छे वह एक घंटा तक ऋषि दयान्द कृत भाषा  वा Andrew Jackson Davis  के अंग्रेजी ग्रंथो में से किसी ग्रन्थ का पाठ व मनन करते | कारण की वह कहा करते थे की इस समय संसार में दो ही योगी है मेरी दृष्टी में है |

एक तो महर्षि दयानंद और तो दूसरे अमेरिका के Seer अर्थात योगी Andrew Jackson Davis वह उक्त अमेरिकन डेविस को इन्द्रजय देव कृष्ण भी कहा करते | उनकी संगत में जो जिज्ञासु आता है उसको वह सदैव ऋषि दयानंद के सब ग्रन्थ तथा डेविस साहब के सब ग्रन्थ जो ( Theosophical Society Adyar Madras ) मिल सकते है पढ़ने के लिए कहा करते | भोजन करने के पीछे कमरे में आधा घंटा टहलने के पीछे वह अपने कमरे में इस गर्मी की ऋतू में दूसरी मंजिल पर नाकि नीचे की मंजिल पर, बिना छत के,पंखे के और बिना अपने हाथ के पंखे के वह एक धोती तथा मुल्तानी तथा एक लंबा चोला पहने पैर में कास्ट की खडावे नंगे बालो वाले सर और लंबी मुछ दाडी सहित ( Vedic Magazine ) के लेख लिका करते | जब हम देखने जाते तब वह बारा बजे से लेकर पांच बजे तक इस गर्मी की ऋतू में वेदिक मैग्जीन लाहौर ही में लिख रहे है | वह भी निचे की ठंडी मंजिल में नहीं | फिर दूसरी गरम मंज़ल के गरम कमरे में किसी नौकर को खसकी दर लगा पानी छिडकने व पंखे खेचने को आज्ञा नहीं और स्वयं भी हाथ में हाथ पंखा नहीं लेते और पसीना छूट रहा है | अंगोछे से पसीना पूंछ पूंछ कर १२ बजे से ५ बजे तक कुर्सी पर बैठकर काम करते |

महामुनि पं गुरुदत्त जी के जीवनचरित्र के शेष भाग में हम उनको ऋषि दयानंद द्वारा रचित वेदांग प्रकाश, अष्टाध्यायी, निरुक्त तथा वैदिक निघंटु के प्रचार के लिए अपनी पर्णकुटी में लगातार कम से कम तीन वर्ष स्वर्ग सिधारने तक शिक्षण देते हुए पाते है | उक्त वैदिक संस्कृत वर्ग में बड़े बड़े संस्कृतज्ञ पंडित भक्त रैमलदास जी हैडमास्टर, पं ऋषि रामजी, पं जयचंद्र जी, महाशय दशबंधीराम जी, महाशय केदारनाथ जी थापड आदि शाम को रोज एक घंटा उक्त ग्रन्थ पढते हुए पाते है |

जब यह पंडित वर्ग उनसे पढ़ जाता तो हमारा दूसरा लघु वर्ग पढ़ने आता जो केवल अष्टाध्यायी का था | इसमें महाशय जगन्नाथ मरवाहा सदैव परीक्षा में प्रथम रहा करते थे | और मई, डॉ चिरंजीलाल, महाशय शालिग्राम, महाशय गणपतराय, महाशय धनपतराय आदि पढ़ा करते थे |

दोनों वर्गों में पढाते हुए वह ऋषि दयानंद के भाष्य शैली को मार्गदर्शक सिद्ध कर दिखाते थे | यही नहीं वैदिक सिद्धांतों पर जो आक्षेप मि० अग्निहोत्री आदि ब्रह्मसमाजी व देव समाजी किया करते व अंग्रेजी वर्तमान नास्तिक साहित्य में ईश्वर जीव आदि के विरुद्ध पुस्तकों में पाये जाते उन सब का भी समाधान उक्त दोनों वर्गों को पढाते हुए वह रोज कर जाया करते |

जब उनकी अंग्रेजी में पुस्तक The Terminology of the Vedas तो इस पुस्तक ने उनकी संस्कृत विद्या की धाक जहाँ पंडित मंडल में बिठा दी वहाँ कलकते में रहनेवाले एक नामी German Theosophist Dr Salzer M.D जो डॉक्टरी करते थे, उक्त पुस्तक को देख कर मुग्ध हो गए और पत्र में लिखा की वेदार्थ करने की जो चाबी आपने सिद्ध की है वह मात्र यथार्थ है | उन्होंने कई कौपिस इसकी मंगा कर जर्मनी में अनेक विद्वानों के पास भेजी |

उक्त महामुनि के स्वर्गवास पीछे Oxford University में एक व दो वर्ष उक्त पुस्तक text book  रही |

उनकी मौत के पीछे सर्वस्व त्यागी पूज्य महात्मा दुर्गा प्रसाद जी ने वैदिक Readers बनाई जो की ऋषि दयानंद कृत भाष्य पर आधार रखती थी | हाई स्कुल में अंग्रेजी classes  में यह उत्तम Readers अनेक वर्ष प्रचार पाती रही |

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 ?
