Face behind the Mask

We, the Hindoos in India and abroad, have been made to learn, and come to believe, that Christianity happens to be a religion of Love, Peace and Service to Humanity; and aberrations to that belief system, if any, represented exception, not rule.
I, too, believed in it for fifty years of my life. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, whom we call a महात्मा Mahaatmaa, in other words a great soul, coined the term सर्व धर्म समभाव Sarv' Dharm' Samabhaav', which has been understood differently by different people. Some thought it meant that we should maintain same outlook and/or same feeling towards all religions. Some perceived it differently to mean that all religions have the same belief system, and thereby, they all happen to be equal.
Gandhi propagate his hypothesis so aggressively that people after him took the cue and kept spreading it far and wide among Hindoos all over the world, and some even expanded on it by adding their own belief system that further supported the concept of Sarv' Dharm' Samabhaav', which was highly flawed from its very inception. To improvise on Gandhi's unfounded hypothesis, some later day intellectuals and preachers added, in support, the concept of वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम Vasudhaiv' Kutumbakam' by misinterpreting it to mean just the opposite of what it truly conveyed. Others even ascribed its origin to Hindoo Vedic philosophy without even caring to find out what its true origin was. Put together, all this intellect combine, inflicted immense harm to Hindoo psyche making it almost impotent.
Gandhi enjoyed tremendous influence over Hindoo psyche, and Hindoos readily accepted his unfounded hypothesis as a theory of substance, while Muslims and Christians and Jews ignored it without commenting, and that kept the Hindoos under mistaken impression that other religions too support the same belief system and/or do not disagree with it.
Quotes from Holy Bible and from History of Christianity
2003 Nov-Dec
In this
work I shall be quoting extensively from Christian Bible and the documented
history of Christianity. I shall also be quoting real-life conducts of many Popes, Cardinals,
Archbishops, Bishops, and well respected Saints of Christianity. By doing so, I shall try to demonstrate a close link between
the teachings of Christian Bible and shaping of characters of Christian Popes, Cardinal,
Archbishops, Bishops and Saints of Christianity. I shall also try to demonstrate how those teachings of Christian Bible have percolated
down to the level of Christian men, women and children. For this I shall be
exposing many real-life incidences from the Christian World. I shall also try to demonstrate what kind of
influence it has had on Hindoo men, women and children. This influence is a matter of
major concern to me. Or else, I would not have bothered peeping into the forbidden territory of the
Christian World.
I shall be reproducing the teachings of Christian Bible verbatim. If some people accuse me of disturbing communal harmony by doing so, they would better accuse Christian Bible for that, because I am simply bringing out the facts that most people in India are ignorant of till today, as I had been all my life, until recently, though I am supposed to be well educated and travelled extensively, a quality that did not enlighten me any better on the subject in hand. This work is essentially in service to Hindoo society, which has been kept in dark for long, and that too deliberately with purpose. While reproducing text from Christian Bible I shall retain pre-existing emphasis in form of italics, and add further emphasis with underline and/or bold to certain words, solely to draw your attention towards their significance.
I shall be using the Vatican Authorized King James Version of Holy Bible. I have purchased a copy published by Broadman & Holman Publishers of Belgium in 1996 with ISBN 0-8400-3625-4. I shall also be providing you with meanings, descriptions, definitions of Biblical terminology from The New Oxford Dictionary of English published in 2001 with ISBN 019565432-3. I was looking for a good coverage for such terminology and this is the most voluminous dictionary that I could lay my hands on. It has 2,152 pages of 28.5 cm by 22.5 cm. I had seen Prof. D. Meo using this dictionary during my visit to Venezia, Italia and I specially ordered a copy for my use through Strand Book Stalls at Mumbai. In my research work I use many resources and their credibility is of utmost importance to me.

How well Christians followed the Laws of Christian God in India
Goa (1560-1812)
Children were flogged and slowly dismembered (*tear or cut limb from limb) in front of their parents, whose (*parents’) eyelids had been sliced off (*so they couldn’t close their eyes) to make sure they missed nothing.
Extremities (*the hands and feet) were amputated carefully, so that a person could remain conscious even when all that remained was a torso (*the trunk of the human body) and head.
Male genitals were removed and burned in front of wives, breasts hacked off and vaginas penetrated by swords while husbands were forced to watch. ...
And it went on for two hundred years.

To spread Christianity everywhere!Now, have a taste of Hindoo teachings for a change
Friedrich Max Muller testified
“I have left to the last of the witness who might otherwise have been suspected – I mean the Hindoos themselves. The whole of their literature from one end to the other is pervaded by expressions of love and reverence for truth.”
“…I doubt whether in any other of the ancient literatures of the world you will find traces of that extreme sensitiveness of conscience which despairs of our ever speaking the truth...”
Max Muller, Friedrich, INDIA what can it teach us? Longmans, Green and Co., London, 1883, Penguin India Ed 2000, p59 and p67 respectively
Look at the results in the following pages
Sir Thomas Munro testified
Sir Thomas Munro, a Knight of the erstwhile British Empire and the eminent Governor of MadrasA great civilization, indeed! Any doubts? Let us see more of it!
“If a good system of agriculture, unrivalled manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching, reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice of hospitality and charity amongst each other, and above all, a treatment of the female sex full of confidence, respect, and delicacy, are among the signs which denote a civilized people – then the Hindoos are not inferior to the nations of Europe, and if civilization is to become an article of trade between England and India (India), I am convinced that England will gain by the import cargo.”
Quoted in Mill’s History, vol. i. p371, re-quoted by F Max Muller, p57, p231
But then how things went wrong
Lord Macaulay proudly wrote to his father in 1836:This is how Hindoos were turned substantially anti-Hindoo
“Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully.... It is my belief that if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence.”
quoted by Michel Danino, reproduced in IndiaCause Newsletter, 17 August 2003
Idolater: a person who worships an idol or idols, Oxford Dictionary, p909
Lord Macaulay said:This is how Hindoo civilization was thoroughly corrupted I have already described (elsewhere at this site) how education can alter human nature and social values irreversibly
“We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indians (Indians) in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect”
as stated by Macaulay himself, quoted by Dr. NS Rajaram, p181
Hindoos believed in many gods — why — what was the result?
Why Hindoos believe in many gods?
Hindoos believe in many gods because God, who could create such an extraordinarily diverse universe, can easily assume any form He wants, at His will. He is under no compulsion to have or not to have a form. Besides, He can present Himself in as many forms as He may want.
Why Hindoos believe in God with form?
He has himself created humans, animals, birds, fishes, trees, and what not, just look around and you will see them. Then ask yourself a simple question: One who could create so many forms, can He not take that form for Himself?
Can He not present Himself in one of those forms if His devotee wants to see Him in that particular form, and if He is pleased with His devotee, and if He wishes to grant him the vision to see Him in the form of his choice?
What is the result of such belief?
As Hindoo believes in many gods, he does not fight on Hindoo god, Muslim god, and Christian god. For him, there are hundreds of gods, one more or one less does not make a difference to him.
That is why, when the first batch of refugee Syrian Christians arrived at Cranganore, Malabaar in India in the year 345 (running from the religious persecution
of Persian King Shaapur II who considered them a state liability) Hindoo king not only gave them land to live but also to build church so that they could
freely practice their own religion.
Similarly in Gujaraat, king SiddhRaja JaiSimh and his successors continued to provide Muslims trade settlers the opportunity to build mosques and freely
practice their own religion, and as the inscriptions are witness, these things happened much before Gujaraat passed under Muslim rule after invasions of
Ulugh Khan in 1299.
Christians do not believe in many gods — what is the result of such belief?
When I started looking at Christian Bible, I learned it pronounces death for idolaters, like Hindoos. That is why, these refugee Syrian Christians waited for thousand years, lived on Hindoo hospitality and finally, when Vasco da Gama arrived in India with his ship and cannons, they approached him and pleaded him to wage war against Hindoo king.
Persian King Shaapur II considered them a state liability and he was right. Hindoo kings treated them as state guests and the guests betrayed their hosts even after thousand years’ hospitality. Christian history is witness what Christianity has made of Christians.
Saint Francis Xavier took a large grant from Hindoo king of Quilon to build churches, and then he converted entire villages into Christianity in one stroke, and then he got Hindoo temples pulled down and Hindoo god idols destroyed, and he wrote to the Society of Jesus that he could not describe in words the joy he felt watching this happen.
In Christianity such people are respected as saints. In Hindooism such people are not respected because they possess inhumane qualities. The two religions are opposite in their values.
This is where the whole game begins:
- Monotheism’s avowed determined effort to obliterate Polytheism from the face of the Earth
- Islam’s Jihad against Hindooism
- Christianity’s (masked) Crusade against Hindooism
Lessons before you proceed
1st lesson
I have a significant message for you at the end of this episode. After about 25 years break I took to spiritual readings again sometimes around Christmas of 1998. The first book on my hand was that of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi borrowed from Unionville Public Library in Markham, Canada. The book had received worldwide acclaim. Paramahansa Yogananda had been fairly successful in USA and gathered a fairly large following of white men and women. His book had a very significant impact on me. I bought several copies and gave as gift to my colleagues. I recommended it to many more. This book speaks of Jesus Christ very highly on numerous occasions, and draws a parallel between Christianity and Hindooism. It cemented my earlier impression that Christianity happened to be a great humanitarian religion. Today as I added a note about Trinity and Tridev', I thought it necessary to check if my 5 year-old-memory weren’t failing me. In the process, look, at what I unexpectedly stumbled on!
Author equated Hindoo teachings with teachings of Jesus
"Hindoo scriptures teach that family attachment is delusive if it prevents the devotee from seeking the Giver of all boons, including one of loving relatives, not to mention life itself. Jesus similarly taught: "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me." - Matthew 10:37 (Bible).
An Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, p 85 fn
Thus, declaring that Jesus similarly taught, Yogananda draws a parallel between Hindooism and Christianity. A reader takes his word for granted, because Paramahansa Yogananda sounds very sincere throughout this book and he creates an impression that he knows Christianity and Hindooism like the back of his hand. So, trusting him and at the same time unsure of the truth in his statement, I decided to check the Bible and, lo, what I find!
Did the author tell the whole truth to his readers and followers?
Bible, Matthew 10:34 Think not I am come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against the mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
10:36 And a man’s foe shall be they of his own household.
10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Now think for a moment. Are the teachings of Hindooism and Jesus truly ‘similar’ as Paramahansa Yogananda made us to believe?
Let us expand on what Hindooism teaches us
Let me put it in my words. Hindooism teaches that any attachment whatsoever of any kind, be it towards parents, wife, children, relatives, friends, money, power, position, fame, or anything for that matter, which we come across in our day to day life in this mortal world, can effectively come in the way of attaining soul’s final dissolution into the Supreme Soul, which frees the soul from the cycle of birth and death.
The logic is simple, as long as we remain attached to these worldly things, we would naturally want to remain wrapped up in their thoughts, and we wouldn’t try adequately enough to advance towards the process of dissolution into the Supreme Soul.
Let us now expand on what Jesus of Bible taught
But Jesus says in no uncertain terms that he has not come to earth to bring peace, instead he has come to bring sword (war) and he has come to put son against father, daughter against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law, and turn the family of a man as his foe (enemy); and in that context, one who loves his parents more than Jesus, in other words, does not turn against his parents, is not worthy of Jesus.
Why did the author deliberately suppress major part of the statement made by Jesus as documented in Bible?
On what basis Paramahansa Yogananda draws a parallel between Hindooism and Christianity in this particular context, and how does he use Mathew 10:37 by suppressing 10:34, 10:35, 10:36? Does Paramahansa Yogananda bring his readers and followers closer to the Truth or does he take them farther from the Truth? Why is it that he deliberately omitted stating 10:34, 10:35, 10:36 that indicate the context in which 10:37 was said?
Don’t think it was an unintended mistake; the author knew Bible rather too well to make such a clever mistake
Please do not pamper yourself with the thought that it was a simple mistake on his part. You would be fooling yourself if you do believe that. Paramahansa Yogananda knew Bible too well and gives the impression of having understood Jesus so well that he could not have simply made a mistake. You got to read the whole of Autobiography of a Yogi sincerely to know that it is simply not possible that it could have been an unintended mistake. This is one of the people whom I respected dearly, only to be disillusioned later!
Spiritual gurus promote their own-brand-religion
At his Self-Realization Fellowship Sunday gatherings at Toronto, I saw Shri Krishn and Jesus placed side by side at the altar. In today’s world these things create pretty good impression. Today, we live in a world of ‘Brand’ images. This is how different spiritual gurus promote their own-brand-religion! Today even religion is for marketing. As you will proceed through this work, you will see that this comes from the influence of Christianity. You tend to become the kind of company you keep, and the kind of influence you allow on yourself.
Therefore, you must be mentally prepared to look at things afresh disregarding your preconceived notions
When you read or listen to such celebrities, your impressions are formed based on what they convey to you. It is important that you train your mind to disregard those preconceived notions if you wish to derive any benefit from my work.
You must not trust, nor distrust whatever you have learned so far. You must be mentally prepared to absorb unexpected shocks, and also prepared to look at things afresh, if you wish to proceed with my work; otherwise, it is a wasted effort, please do not spend your time
2nd lesson
You may find a particular kind of repetition in my works
You may find me expressing the core message in different ways, with different set of examples, in different scenarios, in different words, in different places.
Some of you may think that we are intelligent enough, why not say it once, and we understand. Granted that you are capable of understanding the message through a single expression. You may even not need to read my work, as you may be aware of the message already. But then, has it percolated down to your thoughts so deep that it already finds its expression in all your actions? If you were to ask this question to yourself, you may often find a big NO for the answer! Why?
This is how our minds are preprogrammed on a regular basis through exposure to mass media and prevailing education system
Most of our actions are guided not by ‘what should be done’ but by ‘what we are used to doing or seeing as done by others so often’. What we are used to doing often depends on ‘what we are used to thinking’. What we are used to thinking often depends on ‘what we have been taught all along’ or ‘what we get to see or hear so often’. What we get to see or hear or read so often depends generally on ‘what receives regular media exposure’. What receives regular media exposure mostly depends on ‘what they want to show you or let you know’. Who are they? They could be those who control the media or they could be those who are associated with media in one way or other. Similarly, ‘what you have been taught all along’ depends on ‘who designed your school text books and with what underlying motive?’. ‘What their underlying motives are’ depends on ‘who they are’ and ‘what their ideology is’. If they are from CommunistMarxist block they will design text books in one manner. If they are Christian missionaries they will design them in another manner. They all have their vested interest and hidden agenda. They won’t give you truth.
This is why we need the repetition of alternate thought process to counteract the age-long repetition caused by education system and mass media
The point is, our actions are often guided by our preconceived notions or preprogramming of our minds, which is attained through the education system of which we are part of, and through repeated media exposure. This is where we need the repetition of alternate thought process to counteract the repetition caused by education system and mass media.
You need to also appreciate that the reading habits of people are not same
There is yet another reason. I do not expect all my readers to read all my books, and also read them sequentially. These books are all interconnected and revolve around one basic theme, that is, the human life and its various aspects. Nor do I expect all my readers even to read one of my single books in continuity from start to end. Different people have different kind of reading habits. Some just open a book casually and start reading one section that may attract their attention at that given point of time. Therefore, I need to repeat things over without which that section of that book may not be complete. Yet, my primary reason remains to be the one I have explained in earlier paragraphs.
Curtain Raiser
There was a Great Civilization though, today, it may sound like a fairy tale because Christian missionary education system prevalent in our country did not tell us about this
Sir Thomas Munro, a Knight of the erstwhile British Empire and the eminent Governor of Madras
“If a good system of agriculture, unrivalled manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching, reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice of hospitality and charity amongst each other, and above all, a treatment of the female sex full of confidence, respect, and delicacy, are among the signs which denote a civilized people – then the Hindoos are not inferior to the nations of Europe, and if civilization is to become an article of trade between England and India (India), I am convinced that England will gain by the import cargo.” Quoted in Mill’s History, vol. i. p371, re-quoted by F Max Muller, p57, p231
You have read numerous testimonies to that effect in my prior work Arise Arjun: Awaken my Hindoo nation.
Over 99.99% Hindoos do not know till date (2004) that their glorious past had existed until 170 years ago. They also do not know that there was an ulterior motive behind methodically destroying their great civilization by the ChristianBritish. Hindoos generally think that today’s state of affairs had been around for a fairly long time, and nothing much can be done about it. If only they all knew, it was only 170 years, they would want to reverse it. But then, who will tell them? Those who have means to do so, won’t do that because it would clash with their vested interests. Their vested interests are now same as that of the ChristianBritish. They are products of that education system which ChristianBritish implemented 170 years ago. After ChristianBritish left BhaaratVarsh, they left their legacy back in form of these people.
Over 99.99% Hindoos do not know till date (2004) that their ancient Hindoo Education System was superior to Christian Missionary Education System, and their Hindoo Culture was superior to Christian Culture, as was unambiguously admitted by distinguished ChristianBritish people. If only they knew the truth, they would want to reinstate it. But then, Hindoos, for past six generations, have been fraudulently taught through Christian Missionary Education System that they had a rotten civilization, one ridden with meaningless rituals and superstitious traditions, and nothing worth being proud of. Products of that education system merrily keep parroting the same thing all over through mass media exposure and every other way.
A Civilization that had lasted 5,000 years, was destroyed within 112 years (1835-1947)
If you read numerous testimonies as reproduced in Arise Arjun: Awaken my Hindoo nation you would realize that Dharm' was reestablished after the battle of MahaaBhaarat. Even after 5,000 years, we see its reflection in Hindoo society. This, in itself, is the testimony that MahaaBhaarat was a necessity of the time.
This fact has been ignored generally, and rather too often references are made to MahaaBhaarat as if it were nothing but bloodshed. By doing so, we fail to appreciate its significance not only in national context but also in social context. It is important that now we relearn to look at things in perspective, and learn to understand the value of what should be valued or else we fail to derive its benefit.
The prime lesson that MahaaBhaarat teaches us is that we must not let Adharm' grow beyond limit, or else we pay the price for it! It also teaches that Adharm' must be resisted, fought, and eliminated.
This is where we were, only 170 years ago, not so long ago
“If a good system of agriculture, unrivalled manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching, reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice of hospitality and charity amongst each other, and above all, a treatment of the female sex full of confidence, respect, and delicacy, are among the signs which denote a civilized people – then the Hindoos are not inferior to the nations of Europe, and if civilization is to become an article of trade between England and India (India), I am convinced that England will gain by the import cargo.”
This is where we have landed today
No sense of national pride (slowly returning but a long way to go). Looking up towards Christianized-West. A beggar on every street.
This is what happened in-between
Macaulay’s English Christian Missionary Education System was imposed upon us. Ancient Hindoo education system was wiped out systematically (a) by withdrawing all governmental support and by officially de-recognizing indigenous educational qualifications (ex: AyurVidya), (b) by inducing distrust towards indigenous knowledge base, in minds of children, using Christian missionary education system (ex: JyotirVidya).
Nation’s wealth was siphoned out systematically and fraudulently. Indigenous industries were methodically destroyed (ex: by cutting thumbs of weavers who made Dhaka Malmal, 40 yard sari could pass through one ring). Hindoo technology was systematically eliminated and Hindoo children were taught that no such technology ever existed. Hindoo children were taught to look down upon and distrust their heritage. Hindoo children never realized the conspiracy they were subjected to.
Was Britain essentially ChristianBritain?
Yes, we have dealt with this matter in detail in a subsequent chapter.
Was Macaulay’s Education System essentially a Christian Education System?
Yes, it was established and run by Christian missionaries. Macaulay himself had an undeniably Christian psyche.
What was the prime cause of our extraordinary downfall?
Our prolonged association with Christian missionary education system has been the prime cause of extraordinary downfall of Hindoo society. When I speak of downfall, I refer to ‘Where we were’ and ‘Where we have reached’ as described before.
What is the solution, if there is any?
Eliminate the root cause. Discard the Christian missionary education system. Reestablish Hindoo ancient education system, which had allowed Hindoo society to maintain extraordinarily high moral values, of which each and every visitor to BhaaratVarsh spoke of!

Understand the true motive behind Macaulay’s Education System
Macaulay proudly wrote his father in 1836: “Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully.... It is my belief that if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence.” Michel Danino, quoted by IndiaCause Newsletter dated August 17, 2003
Hindoos are idolaters, who worship idols, images of gods. Deuteronomy, the fifth book of Holy Bible, has its section 13 header titled as idolaters to be put to death. Bible pronounces death for Hindoo idolaters, Macaulay pronounces elimination of idolaters in a relatively more acceptable manner in today’s supposedly civilized world.
“We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indians (Bhaaratiyas) in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect” as stated by Macaulay himself, quoted by Dr. NS Rajaram, p181
Hindoo society has remained Hindoo for name sake but a very large section thereof has been Christianized, not by religious conversion but by psyche conversion. Their thought process has been Christianized. Thus, body remains Hindoo but character becomes Christianized. The beauty is that many of them still think that they have Hindoo thought process. This is because they have lost the ability to distinguish between what is Hindoo thought process and what is Christian thought process. Just because they have leaning towards Hindooism they tend to think that they have Hindoo thought process.
Understand the effect of English language education on Hindoo psyche
This is what happens when we live with it for one generation.
“A single generation of English (note added: Christian) education suffices to break the threads of tradition and create a non-descript and superficial being deprived of all roots – a sort of intellectual pariah who does not belong to the East or the West, the past or the future. Of all Indian (Bhaaratiya) problems the educational is the most difficult and most tragic.” Dr. Ananda Coomaraswamy, quoted by Rajaram, p188
A healthy tree derives its life source from its roots. When the roots are rotten, the tree is no-more healthy. This is the state of Hindoo society today. Christian missionary education system has worked like pests and made the foundation hollow.
Look at statistics denoting the vast coverage of Christian Missionary Education in BhaaratVarsh
This is what we have lived with, for six generations, assuming that a new generation is ready in 25 years.
“It is estimated that 60 percent of all students in India (BhaaratVarsh) attend Roman Catholic schools and colleges.” [Ref.: Malachi Martin, The Jesuits] The real figure is much higher as this book was published over 15 years ago in 1987. They do not include non-Catholic educational institutions, which have proliferated in recent years with rapid spread of evangelical Protestant churches in India (BhaaratVarsh).” Ishwar Sharan, p123n
More significantly, 90 percent of those who formulate, administer and monitor national policies and practices are the ones who graduate from Christian educational institutions and FakeSecularist infected universities.
You must not refer to these three in isolation; referring to them in isolation dilutes your focus on the root cause
Macaulay’s education system
English language education
Christian missionary education
They are all connected by an invisible thread. Understanding that inter-relationship is key to the issue.
Introduce yourself to the children of Macaulay who come in different varieties
I am a Hindoo by accident used to say Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India (BhaaratVarsh) from 1947 till his death, the founder of the Nehru dynasty from the clutches of which, we are still unable to come out!
I am born a Hindoo as a result of my sins during earlier births, wrote Motilal Nehru, the father of Jawaharlal Nehru, who was known to be a very wealthy person.
But all children of Macaulay need not be of that category. Two days ago, 76 years old AKDI (full name withheld) claimed that he was educated in Gujraati medium school, hence he was not a product of Macaulay education system. Simultaneously, he defended Macaulay conspiracy saying that British were the victors and it was natural that they imposed their education system on us. He said so after reading the 1st edition of this book. He summarily ignored that ChristianBritish did not implement Christian Missionary Education System on Hindoos in natural course. They did so when Macaulay warned them that they would never conquer this nation until they replaced Hindoo Ancient Education System and Hindoo Culture by Christian Missionary Education System and Christian Culture.
Why does AKDI knowingly ignore ChristianBritish motives behind their action? This is another type of Macaulay’s children. These are in vast majority today. As they do not find anything wrong in that action, even after they become aware of the motive behind such action, they will not want to do anything about reversing that action. Thus, the situation will remain as it is today.
While AKDI claims himself not to be a Macaulay product, he forgets that his present mind-set is not the result of his schooling alone. He did his college, university and IAS through Macaulay’s Christian Missionary education system. He lived and grew up in an environment that made him very much of a Macaulay product. And yet he happens to retain his Hindoo leanings because of his strong knowledge of Sanskrit, Hindi, Gujraati, Tamil and probably few other Bhaaratiya languages. Despite all this independence of thought that he claims, he defends ChristianBritish conspiracy, which led to substantial down gradation of this 5,000 year old civilization. This attitude of defending a wrong action will never let him get out of that mental slavery of which he is a prisoner.
Now, this must be understood clearly that I am not pointing at him as an individual. I mentioned his initials to let you know that the character I am referring to is not a creation of fiction. When I present you his example, I am speaking of most of you people who may be reading this book some day or other.
I am trying to make you aware of the fact that your thought process and your value system happens to be the product of the total environment that you are part of. I am using this term ‘environment’ in a fairly wider sense. The movies that you watch, the television serials that you enjoy, the books that you read, the newspaper and magazines you subscribe to, the friends and colleagues with whom you interact, your family with whom you live, everything is part of that environment.
The movie maker has something to say to you, that is his own thought process or belief system. He does not say to you this directly. He uses different casts in his story and he makes them deliver their dialogues. In those statements and emotions are hidden his own thought process and belief system. They influence you indirectly, often without even your knowing you.
I am doing the same thing here but with a basic difference in approach. I am being direct and thereby giving you an opportunity to either accept or discard it. But they, be they movie makers, be they television serial script writers or directors, be they news paper journalists or editors, or whatever, are not always being so direct.
Many a times they appear to be telling you only a story through their movie and consciously you think of it as a story only, but a lot of it leaves an impression on your mind, of which you are not consciously aware, and with time different belief system get cemented on your psyche.
Yesterday night (3 May 2004) a college day friend of mine called after 30 years. AC (full name withheld) got my number from a common friend AS. It was good to hear him. He told me that he had settled at a place called Pichhor in Madhya Pradesh. You may not have even heard the name of that place. I mention this, to make you realize that it is not a place big enough to be known by many, and certainly you cannot expect it to be an Westernized place. During the conversation he told me that he would now give the phone to his son and I could possibly give him some direction for life ( it is a Hindoo way of seeking advice from or blessings of elders). I spoke to his son in Hindi, which happened to be his mother tongue but not my mother tongue (In Canada, they call it your first language, not mother tongue; mother does not occupy such a significant place in their overall life system that they could ascribe their first language to their mother). Anyhow, returning to the base issue. Hindi wasn’t my mother tongue but knowing it was his, I spoke to him all the while in Hindi. What struck after I kept down the phone is that whatever little he spoke to me or responded to me was wholly in English! So, in a small place like Pichhor, the influence of English is no less than one’s mother tongue. I have noticed it rather too often that in most television talks the first time comers tend to respond in English to every question in Hindi thrown at them by the anchor. I thought initially that they all tried to impress that they knew English but gradually I tend to identify that English has spread its wings far and wide. Thus, plants have been separated from their roots!
Understand that Macaulay is no more your problem; your current problem is his legacy, the Christian Missionary Education System that envelopes you from all directions, and being missionary, it has a mission; that is to Christianize your psyche
Many of you are aware of Macaulay and the harm he did. Many of you even write in the magazines, newspaper articles about ill-effects of it. But always I see you all speaking of Macaulay, as if Macaulay was the real culprit. So, you have chosen your enemy and hitting at it. Your readers know that this ghostly character Macaulay, of whom he is hearing for the first time, or may be he has been hearing of him rather too often, in either case this guy is dead and gone. So why waste tears, forget him and go your way, continue with what you are doing. The problem is that you have made Macaulay as the hero or the villain or whatever.
In the process you are loosing sight of the fact that Macaulay by himself, or his so-called education system, or English education system, or whatever, all these identities are meaningless, because behind all these masks remain one and only one true identity, and that is the Christian Missionary Education System. Now, this being a missionary system, it has a mission. What is that mission? That is what you need to be fully aware of. That is to Christianize your psyche.
Why it is today so very necessary to understand the true face of Christianity, which happens to be very-very different from the masked one that you get to see generally
This Christian Missionary Education System springs from the very base of Christianity. It imbibes all qualities of Christian Faith, and it grows with
Christian Traditions. Therefore, it becomes necessary that you understand Christianity’s in-born character better than you do now.
You aren’t able to see its true character because, enormous amounts of money are spent to keep a lid on it. To counteract any possible unwanted exposure, service-to-humanity-brand-religion-image is projected consistently.
Money and media power hide the Truth, our minds are pre-programmed through a methodical exposure to a make-believe world. You need to penetrate that mechanism and look beyond. Remember that the Truth often lies behind the Smoke Screen.
Let us familiarize ourselves with the Seed, the spread of Roots, the budding Plant, the grown-up Tree, and the attractive Garden of Christianity in its various phases of growth
Today we do not critically look at the Seed, nor we examine the Roots that remain under the Soil. Today we only look at the strong, powerful Tree that has spread its branches all over our existence, and effectively clouds our ability to look beyond.
The Seed is the Holy Bible. The Roots are the teachings of the Bible. The budding Plant is the effect of Teachings of the Bible on the ‘Past’ during formative years of Christianity, which are now historical facts. The Grown-up Tree is the effect of Teachings of the Bible on the ‘Present day’ world, and similarly the effect of Teachings of the Bible on the ‘modern USA’. And, much more in the titles that will follow...
