WHY HINDUS SHOULD READ BIBLE

One of the most commonly used refrain about Hinduism is that it is a tolerant religion. The subtext of this sentence is that Hindus are also tolerant. 

My question is - tolerant to what?

Murder ?
Rape ?
Plunder ?
Crime?
Inhumanity?

If yes, then what did our heroes do?

Like Ram, Krishn, Mata Durga, Maa Kali, Adi Shankaracharya, Rana Pratap, Shivaji, Guru Teg Bahadur, Guru Govind Singh, Veer Savarkar, Chandr Shekhar Azad, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Udham Singh, Neta ji and many more.

Why did they not tolerate everything, including disgrace and humility?

Because there is a clear cut demarcation of what we can or should tolerate and what should not be tolerated.

Toleration is a virtue as long as it is based on reciprocity. The moment it becomes one sided, it leads to destruction. In this case, this misplaced tolerance has programed the Hindu society for self destruction.

This situation has not emerged overnight. It has been deliberately brought and nurtured. Unless the educated Hindus shake off this self destructive argument of tolerating hatred and filth, they are bound to be responsible for destruction of world's oldest civilization at the hands of barbaric creeds. The best way to save themselves and the world from the 'creeds of greed', they have to trace back the hatred to their sources. 

They have to read Bible to understand what it stands for. It has been the reason of destruction and murder of civilizations across the world. Nearer home, a look at the populace of Goa gives us the indication of barbarity that was perpetrated on civilized and peace loving dwellers of the world.

The terms in Bible which can be used to describe Hindus are Heathen, Pagan or Gentile, sometimes masked as 'nation'.

Heathen -

One who adheres to the religion of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.

OR

One who is regarded as irreligious, uncivilized, or unenlightened.

On using google translate, Heathen is translated as  बुतपरस्त which is an islamic word for idolaters. In the following translation, I have used the word मूर्तिपूजक for the word heathen.

With this in mind, let us read about the hatred contained in the supposedly 'religious' book. 'Psalms' is one of the books of Bible which contains 150 poems, which are to be sung with some musical instrument. These are being promoted by the name of 'bhajan sankalan' (भजन संकलन), i.e. collection of hymns. This post includes the second poem of this collection. 

Try to imagine a group of children. Singing this 'poem'.

PSALMS 2

1. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

१. मूर्तिपूजक क्यों क्रोध करते हैं और व्यर्थ की कल्पना करते हैं.

2. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

२.धरती के शासक लॉर्ड के विरुद्ध एकत्रित होकर मंत्रणा करते हैं, और उसके चुने हुए के विरुद्ध भी.

3. Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

३. चलो इनकी संगीत मंडली को बिखरा दें, और इनसे अपना सम्बन्ध तोड़ दें.

९. तुम उन्हें लोहे की छड़ से मारा करोगे; एक कुम्हार के बर्तन की भांति तुम उनके टुकड़े टुकड़े कर दोगे.

10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

१०. इसलिए ओ पृथ्वी के शासको, संभल जाओ:

11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

११. लॉर्ड से डर कर उसकी सेवा करो, और कांपते हुए प्रसन्न रहो.

12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 

१२. यीशु से प्रेम करो, ताकि वो क्रोधित न हो जाए, और तुम रास्ते से हटा दिए जाओ, जब उसका क्रोध लेश मात्र भी जाग जाए. उन्ही को आशीष मिलेगी जो उस पर विश्वास करेंगे.

यदि इस प्रकार की, घृणा से भरपूर कृतियों को, भजन कहा जाएगा तो कितनी अशांति होगी, इसकी कल्पना से ही मन कांप उठता है.

This particular 'God' seems to be pretty angry and possesses an instinct to force people to accept him as God. No wonder the missionaries and evangelists use all fair and foul means for conversions.

The tenets of Christianity seem to be the exact opposite of Vedic philosophy.

संगच्ध्वम संवद्ध्वं सं वो मनांसि जानताम 
देवा भागं यथा पूर्वे सन्जानाना उपासते

(Rigved 10/191/2) 

Move as a unit, have mutual discussions. Let your minds be alike to gain knowledge. As your seer ancestors, accept your part of fortune.

समानी व् आकूतिः समाना हृदयानि वः
 समानमस्तु वो मनो यथा वः सुसहासति

(Rigved 10/191/4)

Humans! Let your will be alike, let there be understanding in your hearts, let your minds be alike so that you live in mutual harmony.

No wonder Christian history is full of annihalation of gentle civilizations and imperialistic expansion, in direct contrast with the Vedic civilization which talks of compassion for, not only all human beings, but all living beings.

Such blatant hatred is being promoted by the Christian schools under the garb of 'secularism' and 'minority institutions', the twin scourges imposed on truncated India by Christians in connivance with Nehru.

In the interest of humanity and all life forms, it is time we asked ourselves - What should we chose?

Freedom 'from' hating other ideologies or Freedom 'to' hate other people.

If you think that it is just theory, then, for practical application, read about Inquisition.
