God is there to take care

A few days back I heard Sri Sri Ravi Shankar say some thing interesting while he was addressing a Muslim crowd. He said that once a Hindu youth was angry at all the "Attacks against Hinduism": at how the Muslims are terrorizing and how the Christians are converting. Sri Sri said "It is God who has made all these relegions. Let him worry about it. He has made it and he will take care of it. " That was really amazing. Anger does not get anything fruitful. I feel that with anger and prejudice I become blinded. I cannot even be with people of other religions. How am I any different from those people I am against. How can I be against the non accepting nature of other religions if I cannot accept them myself. Today I did another thing. I wished my colleague a Happy new year and he smiled and wished me back. It was amazing. I just have to be loving and accepting and that is what we have to spread in this world. Love and acceptance. Not hatred and anger. Anger begets anger and nothing else.

The reason I made this blog

For thousands of years Hindus have been oppressed in India, first by the Muslims rulers, then by the British. And even now after India has acheived so called "Freedom" Hinduism is still oppressed. By whom you say?
  1. By the muslim extremists. those who kill thousands of innocent hindus in terrorist attacks. Who drove hundreds of thousands of hindus out of Kashmir. who have more privelages in india than Hindus and with the help of corrupt politicians have their say
  2. By the "Christians" who keep converting indiscriminately and using all the wrong means to do so.
  3. By the so called "Secular" Hindu who prefers to stay quiet whenver there is an attack on Hinduism and is often shy to call himself a hindu.
I will be finding out and posting all that i hear and read. There is so much negative posting about hinduism on the web. Who has given them the right to post these things without any proof whatsoever.

What does a hindu usually do when he hears all this crap. He usually goes on with his thing and does nothing about it. I was like that for quite some time. But I had to do something about it. somthing atleast. And this js where I start.

First Post:
When a hindu hears the name of Jesus he is filled with love and respect. Jesus was a form of HIM: the unmanifest in a form. He was the embodiment of love. There is not difference to a hindu whether you call him Vishnu or Yeshu. It is with this feeling that I went to a church when I first came to America. And what happened to me there. An east asian comes to me and says that I should convert and that he knew of a person who was a brahmin (hindu priest) before but is now a christian. I felt, how stupid is this person. He, first of all does not know any thing of what JESUS taught secondly he is insulting my belief saying it is not real. The forms of HIM that I worship are very dear to me they represent HIM they are above everything. And this person was insluting that. How could i ever say anything to him. My blood boiled and I left that place. These ignorant "Christians" keep doing that again and again to so many other people. Just the other day a student in NJIT had the same experience. He went to a church bond and he was told to convert and anyway 2020 all of India will be "Christian". Can you beleive that. You know if Jesus came today again and he was not a christian and asked people to love one another, respect all relegions, be stress free, do some pranayam, meditate, these "Christians" would crucify him all over again.
