Hinduism
greatest shame of the 19th century

"Is it possible that any
moral man can tolerate the supremely disgusting and insufferable stuff to
be found, for instance, in the Linga Purana? The feats of the Linga, though
heroic(!) indeed, are a record of shame and a tale of utter indecency and
obscenity. Do such books teach religion? If the reply be in the
affirmative, then I say that they teach religions which can only debase the
people." Swami Virjanand.
Is
it not the greatest shame on Hinduism, when India's most prolific and
dynamic son of the 19th century had to turn to his nation's subjugators for
protection?
"If you expel the English, then, no later than
tomorrow, you and I and everyone who rises against idol-worship, will have
our throats cut like mere sheep." Swami
Dayanand.
Is there a sensible Hindu
today who could be proud of such a travesty in that era of our nation?
Does anyone need any other reason to wonder why he chose instead to
liberate Hindus from the fold of centuries of thralldom, rather than
personally leading the drive to free India from foreign subjugation?
Could any sensible Hindu blame him for seeing their ignorance as a greater
threat to India and themselves than the British occupiers?
Let's be reasonable when it comes the most abstruse science of God
(wisdom), that the ignorant and the wise can never achieve the same
rewards.

Past dialogues:
"Many Hindus
believe that all their sins are washed away by having a dip in the holy
water of the Ganges. Thus it is seen that the great philosophical religion
which conceived Unity of God in the beginning, brought up corruption and
degradation of high ideas, when His attributes as the Creator, the
Preserver and the Destroyer were divided and allotted to different deities
possessing separate entities in different forms. Swami Dayananda Saraswati
a man of great learning started preaching the old Religion of the Vedas,
which conceived Unity of God. " Sir
