Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day!


You must read this.....a proper decision by the courts...for a change.



FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY



In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Christmas, Easter and Passover Holy days.

He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"



The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."



The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."



The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."



The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'


Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that,





if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day.





Court is adjourned."


You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!


This is too good NOT to forward!

WISDOM OR WEALTH

Wisdom or Wealth?
An angel appeared at a faculty meeting and told the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord would reward him for his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean selected infinite wisdom.

Done!” said the angel and disappeared in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Then all heads turned toward the dean who sat surrounded by a faint halo of light. He seemed stunned and shocked as a cloud of silence encompassed the room.

One of his colleagues leaned over and whispered to him, “Say something.”

The dean, now filled with infinite wisdom said, “I should have taken the money.”

DIWALI: LAKSHMIJI AND BHAGWAN RAM

Hinduism 101, Holidays & Festivals
Reuniting Rama and Laksmi:
What can two Diwali narratives tell us about living our lives today?



When I was a child, every Diwali night before going to bed, our family did something which I thought was extraordinary. We unlocked and slightly opened the doors to our home. (That may not seem so extraordinary to some of you, but growing up in New York City it was!) The reason, I was told, was that so on this night, Laksmi the goddess of fortune could freely enter and bless our home with prosperity. In my childish way, I imagined Laksmi to be something like a more selfless version of the tooth fairy... leaving coins for us on the altar.

As I grew into an adult and embraced the path of Bhakti, Diwali became more focused on the narrative of Lord Ramachandra - the Divine in the form of an exemplary king - returning home to His kingdom of Ayodhya.


This evening's celebration focuses on these two personalities, Laksmi and Rama. I'd like to invite you to reflect on the deep and esoteric connection between these two aspects of Diwali this evening.



The basic story of Lord Ramachanrda, which is known as the Ramayana, is that Rama's beloved wife, Sita Devi, was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana. Rama valiantly rescues her, liberates the people from Ravana's demoniac rule, and returns home to Ayodhya, where the citizens have lit the city with candles in celebration of His return. And while there is a historical significance to these events, there is also rich symbolic meaning. Who is Rama? Rama is the supreme embodiment of dharma, spirituality, righteousness, our very essence. Who is Sita? Sita is the same Laksmi Devi we celebrate as the goddess of all fortune, all auspiciousness. And who is Ravana? Ravana - his name means "he who delights in making others cry" - is the personification of the bases instincts - lust, wrath, envy, greed. He is the personification of exploiting others. The Ramayana is the story of how Ravana wanted to enjoy Sita, wanted to enjoy the wealth and prosperity and fortune, without Sri Rama. And the whole Ramayana is about the epic quest to reunite Rama and Sita, to have fortune and dharma side by side once again. If we look at all of the other characters in the story, they are all either trying to help Rama reunite with Sita, or keep them apart.

What might this tell us? What might it mean to us in the age of Wall Street greed and Bernie Madoff, and an economy in which many of us are struggling to catch even a fleeting glimpse of Laksmi?

Well, maybe it can remind us that while its easy to point the finger at the Ravanas on Wall Street, maybe there are a few Ravanas on main street too. Maybe there is a Ravana within each of our hearts that sees an opportunity to capture Laksmi - prosperity and fortune - even at the expense of exploiting, cheating, or hurting others.

This evening, in honor of Diwali, we can choose an alternative. We can choose to commit our lives to reuniting Rama and Sita, to seeing prosperity and fortune in their relation to Dharma. If we are struggling, we can take that struggle as an opportunity to re-valuate our priorities, to discover the real wealth is not in possessions or currency, but in our relationship with God and our relationship with His creation. If we have been blessed with wealth or resources, we can - we must - see it as a gift from the Divine, to be used responsibly and in the service of God and one another. Rather than to exploit, we can choose to serve.

To the extent that we fail to do that, Laksmi Devi remains like my childish conception--a tooth fairy like character to beg some coins from. To the extent that we can sincerely try to do it, however, to that extent Laksmi Devi runs into our home and resides there happily.

Today is also a very special day for me, because it is the anniversary of the day that my parama guru, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, left this world. In the Hindu tradition the passing of a great saint is regarded as equally auspicious as his or her birth - for in either instance, it is a celebration of a life of service and unconditional love. Prabhupada, and others like him - some famous, some practically unknown - show us that to live a life dedicated to serving others, to reuniting Rama and Sita, is actually possible.

Thank you very much.

Here’s to us (Seniors)!



No matter what our kids and the new generation think about us,







WE ARE AWESOME !!!!

OUR LIFE IS LIVING PROOF !!!!




To Those of Us Born

1924 - 1979




At the end of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, please


read what he said.




Very well stated, Mr. Leno.







TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE

1930's, 40's, 50's,

60's and 70's!!




First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered

with bright colored lead-base paints..




We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes,

we had baseball caps

not helmets on our heads..


As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.



Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.


We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight.. WHY?




Because we were always outside playing...that's why!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on..




No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were OKAY.






We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps

and then ride them down the hill,

only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem




We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's,

no surround-sound or CD's,

no cell phones,

no personal computers,

no Internet and no chat rooms.






WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!




We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping pong paddles, or just a bare hand and no one would call child services to report abuse.




We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt,

and the worms did not live in us forever.




We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.



We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.




Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn

to deal with disappointment.




Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.

They actually sided with the law!




These generations have produced some of the best

risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.



The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.




If YOU are one of them, CONGRATULATIONS!




You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.






While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.




Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

~

The quote of the month is by

Jay Leno:




'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'




For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of us...pass this on..

Kavita ji,

Thanks so much for forwarding this e mail. I am so proud of my Muslim Sisters. It is quite obvious that most of the Muslims in India are loyal to the Country. I was correct in my earlier assertion that those who can not sing "Vande Matram" , really should leave India. It does not matter what religion they belong to. Coutry does come first , and these Muslim Sisters have demonstrated this in no uncertain terms.

My Best regards to these Great Women. India will always be proud of these remarkable Women leaders.

Once again, it is the Women who have shown the wise leadership.


Regards,


Ved

मुस्लिम महिलाओं ने निकाला वन्देमातरम सम्मान मार्च
Meenu Khare







आज जहाँ देश में चारो ओर वन्दे मातरम सम्बन्धी विवाद चर्चा में है वहीं बनारस की मुस्लिम महिलाओं के प्रसिद्ध संगठन "मुस्लिम महिला फ़्रंट" ने गत 9 नवम्बर को वन्दे मातरम के विरोधियों को कड़ी चुनौती देते हुए "वन्दे मातरम सम्मान मार्च" निकाल कर उदघोष किया कि मुल्क पहले है और धर्म बाद में. सड़्क पर पर्दानशीं, हाथों में तिरंगा और ज़ुबान से निकलते वन्दे मातरम के सतत स्वर...कट्टरपंथियों के लिए यह करारा जवाब था, बनारस शहर की तमाम मुस्लिम महिलाओं की ओर से. ऊर्जा और आत्मविश्वास से भरी बुर्क़ानशीनों ने शहर के शास्त्री पार्क,सिगरा से मलदहिया चौराहे तक यह मार्च "विशाल भारत संस्थान" के तत्त्वाधान में निकाल कर कहा कि राष्ट्र गीत का अपमान करने वाले देशद्रोही हैं और यह अपराध किसी भी क़ीमत पर बर्दाश्त नही किया जाएगा. फ्रंट की नायब सदर नजमा परवीन ने कहा कि इस्लाम राष्ट्रभक्ति का हुक्म देता है अत: सभी मुसलमानों को इस मुद्दे पर आगे आकर धर्म के ठेकेदारों को मुँहतोड़ जवाब देना चाहिए.मुस्लिम महिला फ़्रंट की सचिव शबाना ने कहा कि धर्म की आड़ लेकर कट्टरपंथी नफ़रत फैलाना चाहते हैं ऐसे लोगों का सामाजिक बहिष्कार किया जाना चाहिए.उन्होने सरकार से मामले में तुरंत हस्तक्षेप की माँग भी की.

महिलाओं ने पोस्टरों के माध्यम से वन्दे मातरम को राष्ट्र्गीत का दर्जा मिलने तक का पूरा इतिहास देश के सामने रखा. पोस्टरों पर हिन्दी के साथ-साथ उर्दू में भी वन्दे मातरम लिखा था. पोस्टरों के ज़रिए बताया गया कि 1896 में मौलाना रहीमतुल्ला ने कांग्रेस के कलकत्ता अधिवेशन में वन्दे मातरम गाकर इसे राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर पहचान दिलवाई. 1905 में बनारस के कांग्रेस अधिवेशन में गोखले ने वन्दे मातरम को राष्ट्रीय गीत का दर्जा दिया. 1913 में करांची अधिवेशन में सदर मोहम्मद बहादुर ने वन्दे मातरम गाया. 1923 में मौलाना मोहम्मद अली,1927 में डॉ.एम.ए.अंसारी,1940-45 मे मौलाना अबुल कलाम आज़ाद ने देश को वन्दे मातरम की शपथ दिलाई.

महिलाओं का कहना था कि वन्दे मातरम आज़ादी की लड़ाई का मूल मंत्र था. जब आज़ादी के दौरान इतने बड़े नेताओं ने सहर्ष वन्दे मातरम गाया तो आज यह विरोध क्यों? अशफ़ाक़उल्ला खाँ, मौलाना आज़ाद और डॉ.अंसारी जैसे देशभक्तों ने वन्दे मातरम कह कर देश के लिए सब कुछ कुर्बान कर दिया. हम इन देशभक्तों की क़ुर्बानी को ज़ाया नही होने देंगे और देश की एकता के लिए लगातार संघर्ष करेंगे.वतन के लिए जीना हमारा मकसद है और वतन की शान में कोई गुस्ताखी हम बरदाश्त नहीं करेंगे.


जयहिन्द हो या वन्दे मातरम
कहेंगे ज़रूर चाहे निकल जाए दम.

America, Canada , all Europe ...... needs a President like this.


Prime Minister Kevin Rude - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Shari law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.


Quote:





"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians."

"This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!"

"Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture."

"We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us."

"This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE."

"If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted."






Maybe if we circulate this , American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

If you agree, please SEND THIS ON..

AN INDIAN STUDENT'S LIFE IN US IN 1950

An Indian Students Life in the US in the 1950’s

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bharat J. Gajjar Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 12:39 PM






An Indian Students Life in the US in the 1950’s

By Professor Bharat J. Gajjar

When I arrived in America in December 1952 things were very different than they are today. They called the Indians “Hindus.” I sailed from Southernton, England to New York on the Queen Mary ship. All the Stewards talked to me in Italian because they thought I was Italian, and then I had to tell them to speak English. It was common place to assign meal seating for foreign students with missionaries. As I was a Hindu the missionaries worked very hard on me, they wanted to convert me into Christianity before my feet touched American soil. One thing I remember vividly is when the Missionaries asked me “Why I am a Hindu? My reply was with a question, “Why are you Christian? Isn’t it because your parents are Christian? I’m a Hindu because my parents are Hindu.” I didn’t know that much about Hinduism at that time and it was then that I made a decision to learn about Hinduism and Christianity so that I could speak intelligently on the subject.

My light complexion made it easy for me to blend into American society, however, some of my friends’ encountered difficulties. On a Saturday, a group my Indians friends and I wanted to go out and everyone agreed that they wanted to go to a bar. Upon entering, the owner saw us and came over to kick us out because of the color of our skin. During that time, I read about an International incident, in the newspaper that an Indian Ambassador was asked to go to the Southern US and give a speech. When he attempted to check into a hotel they kicked him out so he went back to Washington, DC where he lived. I had started working for DuPont de Nemours and Company, in their Textile Research Laboratory. My Supervisor, Bob Casey, called me into his office one morning, to tell me that he had to send me to North Carolina to consult a textile mill. He was concern that I may experience the prejudice of the south. I told him not to worry, that I would be fine. On my way back I went to the railway station and before entering I saw there were two signs. One was for blacks only and one was for whites only. At that moment I had to make a decision. I knew that if I went into the white side they might throw me out, but I decided to go into the white area anyway. Luckily nobody bothered me. On another occasion, a friend of mine who is a little on the dark side, came to Wilmington, Delaware to visit me, and I invited him out for dinner. We went to a Diner on Kirkwood Highway and sat down. Within a few minutes the owner came over to us and said, “You boys get out.” So we had to leave. I’m glad that I had that experience so I know what it feels like to be discriminated against so that I can have more compassion for others. This reminds me of an Indian story about a King and his son. The King appointed a teacher to train his son on how to be a good King. For his last lesson, he brought him before the Kings assembly and gave him three lashes and then said, “Now you know how much it hurts so when you give somebody lashings you will understand the pain and the punishment.”

When I came to Philadelphia and stayed in the YMCA, I used to pay $30 rent for the month. I used the community shower and they gave me one small room with a bed in it. I had small table, a chair and a dresser where I put my clothes. My brother was giving me $100 a month to help with my expenses. My dinner cost $1.50 and that was on the high side. So I told my friend who was my mentor, Bhida, because he was two years older than me and seemed to have a lot of experience on getting by in America. I told Bhida that I didn’t think I could afford $1.50 for dinner every night. So he told me he went to this Italian place where he could eat as much spaghetti and bread as he wanted for $1.00. This sounded great to me, but I didn’t know what spaghetti was. We went to that Italian restaurant and continued to go there every night for a long time. So my dinners for an entire month totaled $30 leaving me $40 for everything else including washing my clothes, breakfast and lunch. I also had to buy books for school and pay my tuition. I didn’t buy many clothes in those days. But one time I needed a shirt and it cost $5.00 so I didn’t buy it. If I was running out of money for food at the end of the month, I had to borrow it from my friends. Then one day I told my friend Mahen Shah that I needed a weekend job and he told me he had a job as a bus boy at a Hot Shop and that they were looking for Kitchen help. I was very interested in the job and took it. It paid .75 cents an hour and I could eat as much food as I wanted. I used to skip lunch and have an early dinner at 3 pm when I got to work. Eventually when summer came I worked the entire summer to pay my college tuition fee. I stayed at that job for 2 years and a summer.

Mahen and I noticed that the waiters made $16 extra in tips per day. There job was to come out to the cars as they drove up, take food orders and deliver it to the vehicles. We were only able to make .75 an hour, so we approached our boss and asked him if we could be waiters. He said, “No, we cannot give jobs like that to you Indians.” I never forgot his words. In the fifties, Indians had no problem with Educated Americans; it was the uneducated and poor Americans that displayed prejudices.

After the first summer I worked at the Hot Shop, I was still barely making it financially, so my brother came up with an idea. He thought I should try to get a job in a textile mill in Philadelphia. Fortunately, I found a great job in a dying and finishing mill for the summer. This job paid me $1.25 an hour and I was happy. When school started again, I returned to doing weekend work. The owner trusted me to work on my own on the weekend and he simply wrote down what he wanted me to do. I used to run into the watchman at the mill often, so in time, we became friends. That year he told me he wanted to have off on Christmas week to spend it with his family, so I offered to do his job for him and managed to get an extra week of work. Part of my job at the mill required me to close heavy machinery and in doing so I hurt my back. This caused me a lot of pain and trouble for many years until I discovered yoga and it cured me.

The last summer I was in college I came to the conclusion that due to my back pain I could not manage to do this job at the textile mill anymore, but I did need to do some kind of job to pay my college tuition. This time Navin came up with the idea of me working at a summer camp and he found me a job working as a Senior Councilor in a Jewish Summer camp. I wore a Yamaka and went to their prayer meetings, and I had a definite foreign accent. The conclusion everyone came to was that I was from Israel. The Rabbi even came to me and spoke in Hebrew to me. Then I had to tell him that I am a Hindu from India. He was very pleased and invited me to tell a Hindu story to the children which I did. I was in charge of ten kids and I had an assistant. As I was a very good tennis player, one of my jobs was to teach the children tennis.

One of the purposes of the Jewish camp was for young Jewish councilors to meet and get married. I remember there was an evening dance on the first day for the councilors and I went, but I didn’t know what was going on. The tradition at camp was to pick out your mate for two weeks on the first day and then after two weeks you switch partners for another two weeks. So a young lady approached me at this dance and asked me if I’d like to go steady. I didn’t know what that meant, so I said, “No.” She was insulted. Then I inquired around, asking some of the other councilors what was going on and they explained it to me. So the next day, during the 2nd evening dance, I asked her if she’d like to dance, and she rudely said, “No.” By then she had selected another mate.

I met a lot of interesting people working at that camp. One was a young man named Larry. He and I became friends and he invited me to go to Atlantic City. I told him I didn’t have much money. He told me not to worry about it; he had a car and enough money. So I went and we stayed overnight and went on the beach the next day. We were walking on the beach and a man came running over to me to ask me a question. He was admiring my perfect brown skin and said, “I have never seen such a perfect tan. What kind of lotion do you use?” I was quite shocked to hear this question. Then I told him that I make my own. Larry and I laughed about this. There were no Indians around at this time, so people weren't used to seeing Indians.

I learned to play Tabla in India and was qualified to teach because I studied over four years. My older brother Navin played Indian classical music on the violin. He had a degree in Visharad which means he could teach violin. I brought a set of Tablas with me from India and Navin and I gave many concerts together. I also learned the mandolin and brought it with me and performed Indian music on it as well. The Indian Embassy in Washington, DC heard about my brother and me and called us to perform one time when President Eisenhower was invited at the Indian Embassy. It was unbelievable to know I was sitting only a few feet away from the President of the United States of America. We felt incredibly special to have such an opportunity to be so close to such a great man. It was an honor to play music for him.

On the weekend a bunch of my friends and I used to go to a place called the International House. It was free to get in, and they gave us tea, coffee and cookies. They played records and we all got together and danced. I didn’t know how to dance when I got to America, but this was where I learned. One time my brother Navin came and a few of us went Bryn Mawr College for a dance where he met his wife Irina.

Our reputation for music was expanding and one school in North Philadelphia decided to have an Indian dancing program for seniors. They contacted me and asked me if I would play tabla for their program. I agreed and rehearsed with them. On the final day of the performance, I got the courage to ask a girl named Roberta if she would like to go out to dinner me. She said, “Yes,” and I went to her house and met her parents and younger brother. When I brought her home, she said, “I forgot the keys inside the house.” Her parents had gone out. She told me I was going to have to climb into the window, go inside and open the door. I did this and let her in. She told me she had a boyfriend in the Navy on our first date, so we remained friends.

After I graduated from the Philadelphia University, which used to be called Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences, I decided that I wanted to go to the prom. I had never heard of a prom before. So I asked my Jewish friend Roberta if she would accompany me to the Prom. She happily agreed. She wore a beautiful long dress and I had to rent a tuxedo which cost me $25.00 at that time, it was a lot of money for me then, but I rented it. I also had to buy a flower for her. I borrowed my brother’s car and took her to the Prom. It was in a big hall and a live band was playing. When I entered the room with Roberta all the boys noticed my beautiful date. One of them asked me where I found her. So I told him, “All these women are after me.” Before I took her home I asked her if we could go to the Hot Shop for a milkshake. Upon entering the restaurant, my boss was sitting at the counter and he turned around and said, “Is that you Bharat?” I said, “Yes, sir, I wanted to tell you that I got a job as a Research Engineer with DuPont.” I had a picture taken wearing my tux before I returned it that forever reminds me of that night when I graduated and got my life changing job (See photo below). My starting salary at DuPont was $410 a month and I was very excited about that.

Professor Marvin Miller of New York took samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan.

European traveller Johan Albert Mandelslo, who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the city in his memoirs, but makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built.

The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest that the Taj was a noteworthy building long well before Shah Jahan's time.

Oak also points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief that the Taj Mahal is a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum.

Many rooms in the Taj Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time, and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples.

Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition with dire consequences.

The only way to really validate or discredit Oak's research is to open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal, and allow international experts to investigate.

Thank you.
Very convincing photographs.

It is suggested that an activist should use the RTI to expose the truth.

अब कृपया इसे पढ़ें .........

प्रो.पी. एन. ओक. को छोड़ कर किसी ने कभी भी इस कथन को चुनौती नही दी कि........

"ताजमहल शाहजहाँ ने बनवाया था"

प्रो.ओक. अपनी पुस्तक "TAJ MAHAL - THE TRUE STORY" द्वारा इस
बात में विश्वास रखते हैं कि,--

सारा विश्व इस धोखे में है कि खूबसूरत इमारत ताजमहल को मुग़ल बादशाह शाहजहाँ ने बनवाया था.....


ओक कहते हैं कि......

ताजमहल प्रारम्भ से ही बेगम मुमताज का मकबरा न होकर,एक हिंदू प्राचीन शिव मन्दिर है जिसे तब तेजो महालय कहा जाता था.


अपने अनुसंधान के दौरान ओक ने खोजा कि इस शिव मन्दिर को शाहजहाँ ने जयपुर के महाराज जयसिंह से अवैध तरीके से छीन लिया था और इस पर अपना कब्ज़ा कर लिया था,,

=>शाहजहाँ के दरबारी लेखक "मुल्ला अब्दुल हमीद लाहौरी "ने अपने "बादशाहनामा" में मुग़ल शासक बादशाह का सम्पूर्ण वृतांत 1000 से ज़्यादा पृष्ठों मे लिखा है,,जिसके खंड एक के पृष्ठ 402 और 403 पर इस बात का उल्लेख है कि, शाहजहाँ की बेगम मुमताज-उल-ज़मानी जिसे मृत्यु के बाद, बुरहानपुर मध्य प्रदेश में अस्थाई तौर पर दफना दिया गया था और इसके ०६ माह बाद,तारीख़ 15 ज़मदी-उल- अउवल दिन शुक्रवार,को अकबराबाद आगरा लाया गया फ़िर उसे महाराजा जयसिंह से लिए गए,आगरा में स्थित एक असाधारण रूप से सुंदर और शानदार भवन (इमारते आलीशान) मे पुनः दफनाया गया,लाहौरी के अनुसार राजा जयसिंह अपने पुरखों कि इस आली मंजिल से बेहद प्यार करते थे ,पर बादशाह के दबाव मे वह इसे देने के लिए तैयार हो गए थे.

इस बात कि पुष्टि के लिए यहाँ ये बताना अत्यन्त आवश्यक है कि जयपुर के पूर्व महाराज के गुप्त संग्रह में वे दोनो आदेश अभी तक रक्खे हुए हैं जो शाहजहाँ द्वारा ताज भवन समर्पित करने के लिए राजा
जयसिंह को दिए गए थे.......

=>यह सभी जानते हैं कि मुस्लिम शासकों के समय प्रायः मृत दरबारियों और राजघरानों के लोगों को दफनाने के लिए, छीनकर कब्जे में लिए गए मंदिरों और भवनों का प्रयोग किया जाता था ,
उदाहरनार्थ हुमायूँ, अकबर, एतमाउददौला और सफदर जंग ऐसे ही भवनों मे दफनाये गए हैं ....

=>प्रो. ओक कि खोज ताजमहल के नाम से प्रारम्भ होती है---------

="महल" शब्द, अफगानिस्तान से लेकर अल्जीरिया तक किसी भी मुस्लिम देश में
भवनों के लिए प्रयोग नही किया जाता...
यहाँ यह व्याख्या करना कि महल शब्द मुमताज महल से लिया गया है......वह कम से कम दो प्रकार से तर्कहीन है---------

पहला -----शाहजहाँ कि पत्नी का नाम मुमताज महल कभी नही था,,,बल्कि उसका नाम मुमताज-उल-ज़मानी था ...

और दूसरा-----किसी भवन का नामकरण किसी महिला के नाम के आधार पर रखने के लिए केवल अन्तिम आधे भाग (ताज)का ही प्रयोग किया जाए और प्रथम अर्ध भाग (मुम) को छोड़ दिया जाए,,,यह समझ से परे है...

प्रो.ओक दावा करते हैं कि,ताजमहल नाम तेजो महालय (भगवान शिव का महल) का बिगड़ा हुआ संस्करण है, साथ ही साथ ओक कहते हैं कि----
मुमताज और शाहजहाँ कि प्रेम कहानी,चापलूस इतिहासकारों की भयंकर भूल और लापरवाह पुरातत्वविदों की सफ़ाई से स्वयं गढ़ी गई कोरी अफवाह मात्र है क्योंकि शाहजहाँ के समय का कम से कम एक शासकीय अभिलेख इस प्रेम कहानी की पुष्टि नही करता है.....



इसके अतिरिक्त बहुत से प्रमाण ओक के कथन का प्रत्यक्षतः समर्थन कर रहे हैं.......
तेजो महालय (ताजमहल) मुग़ल बादशाह के युग से पहले बना था और यह भगवान् शिव को समर्पित था तथा आगरा के राजपूतों द्वारा पूजा जाता था-----

==>न्यूयार्क के पुरातत्वविद प्रो. मर्विन मिलर ने ताज के यमुना की तरफ़ के दरवाजे की लकड़ी की कार्बन डेटिंग के आधार पर 1985 में यह सिद्ध किया कि यह दरवाजा सन् 1359 के आसपास अर्थात् शाहजहाँ के काल से लगभग 300 वर्ष पुराना है...


==>मुमताज कि मृत्यु जिस वर्ष (1631) में हुई थी उसी वर्ष के अंग्रेज भ्रमण कर्ता पीटर मुंडी का लेख भी इसका समर्थन करता है कि ताजमहल मुग़ल बादशाह के पहले का एक अति महत्वपूर्ण भवन था......


==>यूरोपियन यात्री जॉन अल्बर्ट मैनडेल्स्लो ने सन् 1638 (मुमताज कि मृत्यु के 07 साल बाद) में आगरा भ्रमण किया और इस शहर के सम्पूर्ण जीवन वृत्तांत का वर्णन किया,,परन्तु उसने ताज के बनने का कोई भी सन्दर्भ नही प्रस्तुत किया,जबकि भ्रांतियों मे यह कहा जाता है कि ताज का निर्माण कार्य 1631 से 1651 तक जोर शोर से चल रहा था......


==>फ्रांसीसी यात्री फविक्स बर्निअर एम.डी. जो औरंगजेब द्वारा गद्दीनशीन होने के समय भारत आया था और लगभग दस साल यहाँ रहा,के लिखित विवरण से पता चलता है कि,औरंगजेब के शासन के समय यह झूठ फैलाया जाना शुरू किया गया कि ताजमहल शाहजहाँ ने बनवाया था.......

प्रो. ओक. बहुत सी आकृतियों और शिल्प सम्बन्धी असंगताओं को इंगित करते हैं जो इस विश्वास का समर्थन करते हैं कि,ताजमहल विशाल मकबरा न होकर विशेषतः हिंदू शिव मन्दिर है.......

आज भी ताजमहल के बहुत से कमरे शाहजहाँ के काल से बंद पड़े हैं,जो आम जनता की पहुँच से परे हैं

प्रो.. ओक., जोर देकर कहते हैं कि हिंदू मंदिरों में ही पूजा एवं धार्मिक संस्कारों के लिए भगवान् शिव की मूर्ति,त्रिशूल,कलश और ॐ आदि वस्तुएं प्रयोग की जाती हैं.......

==>ताज महल के सम्बन्ध में यह आम किवदंत्ती प्रचलित है कि ताजमहल के अन्दर मुमताज की कब्र पर सदैव बूँद बूँद कर पानी टपकता रहता है,, यदि यह सत्य है तो पूरे विश्व मे किसी किभी कब्र पर बूँद बूँद कर पानी नही टपकाया जाता,जबकि प्रत्येक हिंदू शिव मन्दिर में ही शिवलिंग पर बूँद बूँद कर पानी टपकाने की व्यवस्था की जाती है,फ़िर ताजमहल (मकबरे) में बूँद बूँद कर पानी टपकाने का क्या मतलब.....????



राजनीतिक भर्त्सना के डर से इंदिरा सरकार ने ओक की सभी पुस्तकें स्टोर्स से वापस ले लीं थीं और इन पुस्तकों के प्रथम संस्करण को छापने वाले संपादकों को भयंकर परिणाम भुगत लेने की धमकियां भी दी गईं थीं....


प्रो. पी. एन. ओक के अनुसंधान को ग़लत या सिद्ध करने का केवल एक ही रास्ता है कि वर्तमान केन्द्र सरकार बंद कमरों को संयुक्त राष्ट्र के पर्यवेक्षण में खुलवाए, और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय विशेषज्ञों को छानबीन करने दे .....


ज़रा सोचिये....!!!!!!


कि यदि ओक का अनुसंधान पूर्णतयः सत्य है तो किसी देशी राजा के बनवाए गए संगमरमरी आकर्षण वाले खूबसूरत,शानदार एवं विश्व के महान आश्चर्यों में से एक भवन, "तेजो महालय" को बनवाने का श्रेय बाहर से आए मुग़ल बादशाह शाहजहाँ को क्यों......?????
तथा......

इससे जुड़ी तमाम यादों का सम्बन्ध मुमताज-उल-ज़मानी से क्यों........???????


आंसू टपक रहे हैं, हवेली के बाम से,,,,,,,,
रूहें लिपट के रोटी हैं हर खासों आम से.....
अपनों ने बुना था हमें,कुदरत के काम से,,,,

फ़िर भी यहाँ जिंदा हैं हम गैरों के नाम से......

TAJ MAHAL - THE TRUE STORY BY PN OAK

Purushottam Nagesh Oak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Purushottam Nagesh Oak (March 2 1917 - December 4 2007), commonly referred to as P. N. Oak, was an Indian writer and self-styled Professor, notable for his historical revisionism.[1] His claims, e.g. that Christianity and Islam are both derivatives of Hinduism, or that the Kaaba and the Taj Mahal were once Hindu temples to Shiva,[2] are not taken seriously in mainstream academic circles[3] in India as well as the West, and are regarded as examples of pseudohistory; he has been referred to as a "mythistorian"[4] or "crackpot".[5]

Oak's "Institute for Rewriting Indian History" issued a quarterly periodical called Itihas Patrika in the 1980s.

[edit] Life
Dozens of websites refer to him as "Professor P. N. Oak",[6][7][8] but he does not appear to have any academic credentials[citation needed]. According to his own account,[9] he was born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. After completing his M.A. (Agra) and L.L.B (Mumbai), he joined the Indian army during World War II. He was in Singapore when it fell to the Japanese, and thereafter he joined the Indian National Army[9] and was involved in Radio bulletins. "From 1947 to 1974 his profession has been mainly journalism having worked on the editorial staffs of the Hindustan Times and The Statesman, as a Class I officer in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and as editor in the American Embassy's Information Service." [9]

[edit] Revisionist theories
Intent on rectifying what he believes to be "biased and distorted versions of India's history produced by the invaders and colonizers", Oak has written several books and articles on Indian history and founded an "Institute for Rewriting Indian History" in 1964. According to Oak, modern secular and Marxist historians have fabricated "idealized versions" of India's past and drained it of its "Vedic context and content". Srinivas Aravamudan noted that Oak's work typically resorts to "deep punning"[4] associating Sanskrit sound-alikes with non-Sanskrit religious terms (such as Vatican=vatika "hermitage", Islam=ishalayam "temple of God" and similar). Based on this, Oak claims that both Islam and Christianity originated as distortions of "Vedic" beliefs. He thus alleges that the Kaaba in Mecca was originally a shrine to Shiva[2] and that the Papacy was "a Vedic priesthood" until Constantine the Great killed the "Vedic Pope" and replaced him with the head of the hitherto unimportant Christian sect.[10]

Oak finds some mention in passing as an eccentric in academic literature on the Hindutva wing of Hindu nationalism. Aravamudan (2005) calls him a "mythistorian"[4] whose life's work may be summarized by the title of his work World Vedic Heritage: A History of Histories, Presenting a Unique Unified Field Theory of History that from the Beginning of Time the World Practised Vedic and Spoke Sanskrit. Edwin Bryant writes that most academics would consider him a 'crackpot'.[5] Giles Tillotson describes his work as a "startling piece of pseudo-scholarship".[11]

While Oak's theories have been summarily rejected in academia, they have found a popular following among Indocentrists and some members of India's Hindu right.[12][13] Art historian Rebecca Brown describes Oak's books as "revisionist history as subtle as Captain Russell's smirk" (referring to a character in the Hindi movie Lagaan).[14]

[edit] The Taj Mahal
In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak claims that the Taj Mahal was originally a Shiva temple or a Rajput palace seized by Shah Jahan and adopted as a tomb.

The Taj, Oak says, is a "typical illustration of how all historic buildings and townships from Kashmir to Cape Comorin though of Hindu origin have been ascribed to this or that Muslim ruler or courtier".[15] He goes on to propose Hindu origins for the tombs of Humayun, Akbar and Itmiad-u-Dallah and "all historic buildings" in India as well as the Vatican,[16] the Kaaba and Stonehenge.

Oak claims that Hindu ornaments and symbols were effaced from the Taj, whose sealed chambers hold the remnants, including a Shiva Lingam, of the original temple and that Mumtaz Mahal was not buried at her cenotaph.

In support of these claims, Oak presents carbon dating results of the wood from the riverside doorway of the Taj, quotes from European travellers' accounts and the Taj's Hindu architectural features. Oak further alleges that eyewitness accounts of the Taj Mahal's construction as well as Shah Jahan's construction orders and voluminous financial records are elaborate frauds meant to hide its Hindu origin[citation needed].

Oak petitioned demanding that the Taj be declared a Hindu monument and that cenotaphs and sealed apartments be opened to determine whether Shivalingam or other temple remains were hidden in them.[15] According to Oak, the Indian government's refusal to allow him unfettered access amounts to a conspiracy against Hinduism.

Oak's denial of Islamic architecture in India has been described as one of the "more extreme manifestations of anti-Muslim sentiment" in Maharashtrian popular culture.[17] K. N. Panikkar locates Oak's work in the Hindutva movements attempt to foster a communal understanding of Indian history.[18] Tapan Raychaudhuri has referred to him as "a 'historian' much respected by the Sangh Parivar."[19]

The writer Koenraad Elst sees Oak's claim as an example of "funny attempts at compensation" within a "Hindu inferiority complex" arising from what he describes as a crackdown by "arrogant Leftists" on Hindutva following the murder of Gandhi.[20]

In 2000 India's Supreme Court dismissed Oak's petition to declare that a Hindu king had built the Taj Mahal and reprimanded him for bringing the action, saying he had a "bee in his bonnet" about the Taj.[21] In 2005 a similar petition was dismissed by the Allahabad High Court. This case was brought by Amar Nath Mishra, a social worker and preacher who says that the Taj Mahal was built by the Hindu King Parmar Dev in 1196.[21]

[edit] The Kaaba
In a 13 page pamphlet headed 'WAS KAABA A HINDU TEMPLE? IS ALLAH A HINDU GOD?', Oak derives a claim of a "Vedic past of Arabia" based on an alleged inscription mentioning king Vikramāditya found at the Kaaba. He further claims Muhammad was born to a Hindu family.[22] The text of the inscription Oak quotes from is said to be taken from a manuscript he identifies as Sayar-ul-Okul,[23] allegedly an anthology of Arabic poetry kept in the Makhtab-e-Sultania Library in Istanbul, Turkey. Oak claims the anthology was compiled in 1742 on the orders of a "Sultan Salim" (the actual Sultan at the time being Mahmud I), and alleges it was first edited in 1864 in Berlin. The Sayar ul-Okul has since been propagated by fringe Vedic mysticist Stephen Knapp,[24] but is unknown to the pertinent Arabist reference works.

Books with titles such as Taj Mahal Was a Rajput Palace (P.N. Oak, 1965; online version) further argue this position. There is no merit in the argument, but it has acquired something of a popular following in India."

Radhe Krishna To All,

Good morning to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead …..

The holy water of Ganga wash away one's sin, worshipping the Lord in Kashi bestows great merit, The blessings of the family deities pleased by ardent worship,
Chanting the name of Sadguru confers all these at once.

---Ramana geetham.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The thirst from within

Whenever I see people perform rituals such as Homas and some special poojas to invoke the blessings of the Almighty or see Bhagavathas performing bhajans for longs hours, at times throughout the night, I wonder why they are not able to do the same Japa or chant the Lord's Name in solitude at their home, to attain the same goal [liberation]!

I asked myself, 'Is it their longing for tangible worldly benefits like money, attention, appreciation or a combination of these that motivates them? If only they had given even a small part of their time to japa or singing the Lord's praises sans any of these worldly goal, how easily would they have realized the Almighty?'

However, I immediately realized that one needs to have the motivation from within to 'Realize the Lord' .

And, this motivation is possible if and only if they have the "GRACE OF A TRUE
GURU". This indeed is the path to Moksha!

============================================================


Incidence of domestic violence among Muslims Domestic violence is considered by many to be a problem in Muslim-majority cultures.
The incidence in many Muslim-majority countries (where women hide their bruises and little is ever reported to authorities) is uncertain, but believed to be great by Muslim feminists. In some Muslim countries, such as Saudi Arabia, reports indicate that domestic violence is quite widespread. One recent study, in Syria, found that 25% of the married women surveyed said that they had been beaten by their husbands.
One study found that half of Palestinian women have been the victims of domestic violence. A WHO study in Babol found that within the previous year 15.0% of wives had been physically abused, 42.4% had been sexually abused and 81.5% had been psychologically abused (to various degrees) by their husbands, blaming low income, young age, unemployment and low education.
A 1987 study conducted by the Women's Division and another study by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in 1996 suggested that domestic violence takes place in approximately 80 percent of the households in the country. In Pakistan, domestic violence occurs in forms of beatings, sexual violence or torture, mutilation, acid attacks and burning the victim alive (bride burning).
According to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in 2002, over 90% of married women surveyed in that country reported being kicked, slapped, beaten or sexually abused when husbands were dissatisfied by their cooking or cleaning, or when the women had ‘failed’ to bear a child or had given birth to a girl instead of a boy.
The prevalence of domestic violence has been cited as a cause of high rates of suicide, mostly through self-immolation, among Kurdish women in Iran.
