American Indologist and scholar of Hinduism Wendy Doniger commented on the Gita, “The Bhagavad Gîtâ is not as nice a book as some Americans think. Throughout the Mahâbhârata … Krishna goads human beings into all sorts of murderous and self-destructive behaviours such as war…. The Gîtâ is a dishonest book; it justifies war. ..I’m a pacifist. I don’t believe in ‘good’ wars.”
It is a common strategy of many Christian missionaries, secular scholars and pseudo ,mystic new age writers today to become a part of the Hindu crowd, read a few of their scriptures, distort them out of context or induce some non-scriptural and imaginative terms, highlight them as “scriptural” and then demean the scriptures.
They exploit the tolerance of the Hindus, the acceptance that they show to the world and respect to all the cultures and traditions and then sow in their minds, the seeds of hatred via divide and rule. Wendy Doniger, as it is clear, has not read the Mahabharata where the Kauravas harass the Pandavas since their childhood. In one instance, Duryodhan offered a poisoned sweet-dish to Bhima. Other cases include burning of Pandavas’ shelter, physically abusing Draupadi who was the Princess of the Hastinapur and initiate ‘adharmic’ ways to fight in the battlefield, e.g Killing Arjuna’s son Abhimanyu. Mahabharat not only teaches how families can face destruction over material wealth but also how brothers can turn into enemies and how an entire society gets destroyed when women are not respected. In many parts of the society, killing in self-defence is not a crime.
The divine song, i.e the Bhagavad-Gita teaches how one needs to detach himself of his feelings and emotions to see the truth and Krishna only advocates to fight for “Dharma”. Having explained the universal truth, in verse 6.36, 18.6, 18.63, he tells Arjun to do as he wishes. Thus, when Wendy Donger says that “Gita is dishonest book, it justifies war”, she clearly presents her lack of comprehension or willingness to read further. Mahabharat was not a “good war”, but a “dharmic one” and dharma may not be good for a dharmic person everytime.
A police inspector may find it hard to arrest his own son. In every family, parents teach their son to protect his sister. In every nation, the soldiers are taught to protect their country and do their duty irrespective of who the enemy is. If Wendy Doniger’s words are taken seriously, then a brother protecting his sister or a soldier protecting his country would be engaging in “dishonesty”. Wendy Doniger, with her limited frame of understanding, clearly fails to recognize the difference between “good and dharmic”.
The language of the pseudo-intellectuals on the surface is truth, knowledge and objectivity, but beneath one can observe over the time as to how cleverly they manipulate their subjects, instil inferiority complexes, psychological slavery, abuse the Hindu literature and hate for those who do not follow their own biased worldviews.
In India, the mainstream Gurus support and respect each other. They promote the Indian culture, Vedic wisdom and Yoga but do not hold any personal grudges or abuse each other. Recently, when Baba Ramdev was hospitalised, Sri Sri Ravishankar and many other gurus went to see him and wished him speedy recovery. The Hindu Gurus like Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar etc. have not only opened drinking water facilities for the people, but also treatment centres where Indians can be cured for free. On the contrary, the missionaries and proponents of other cults who project themselves as experts on the Hindu scriptures can be often found abusing the Hindu gurus, weaving their own fantasy bubbles and subsequently writing in demeaning and delusional ways about Hinduism.
So called scholar Robert E. Wilkinson, in his cleverly deceptive blog ‘Movement for the Restoration of Vedic Wisdom’, seems to demonstrate in his persistent string of attacks on individuals and groups promoting Hinduism, that he and his group rather are the only people who understand Sri Aurobindo and Sanatan Dharma and that most others are opposing the rise of India and Dharma. There is no information on any Vedic literature in this blog and there is absolutely no authentic Vedic wisdom. Majority of his articles constitute a battery of assaults on Lord Buddha, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Deepak Chopra, David Frawley, the Auroville/Aurobindo organization, etc. By distorting the meaning of ‘Avatar’ to fit his own agenda, he further glorifies “Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet” as the chosen avatar to redeem Hinduism, who has in fact been questioned on such claims by the Hindu society and the Aurobindo organization at large.
He often presents a smokescreen of fancy terminologies ripped off from Aurobindo’s works and some exotic, magic formula of numbers 3, 6 and 9 and tries to use that to prove that Aurobindo, Mother and Thea (the other name of Patrizia Norelli-his guru) are all connected avatars. Through all his contrived theories and by distorting Aurobindo’s quotes he tries to prove that Patrizia Norelli is not only an evolved yogic-seer but also the chosen avatar who seems to have descended on earth with the special mission of saving Sanatan Dharma. He further reiterates that all his theories are confirmed by verses from Rig Veda and other Hindu scriptures and keeps quoting from them to make his theories look intelligent. He states –
“Since the manifestation of the Avatars is determined by their inherent association with the Time-Spirit, their three-staged descent upon the earth occurs within an exquisite Geometry of Time that cannot possibly be concocted. It can only be arranged by the Supermind and thus becomes the basis of their objective cosmic credentials. One of the most fascinating examples of this Supramental formula, which may be found in the original Temple architecture, is the way it appears in the dates of births of the members of the Solar Line. As revealed below, these numbers appear in the exact order of the actual descent.
Sri Aurobindo was born in 1872: 1+8+7+2 = 18 = 9
The Mother was born in 1878 1+8+7+8 =24 = 6
Thea, ???, was born in 1938: 1+9+3+8 = 21 = 3
We could go on and on with these objective proofs. The 3, 9, and 6, have a correspondence with the Gunas: Rajas, Sattva and Tamas or as they are known in cosmological terms, Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. These energy flows are also expressed as the Speaker, the Voice and the Word. Notably, each member of the Solar Line was born in the sign of one of the Three Gunas: Sri Aurobindo, a Leo – Fixed Guna, the Mother, a Pisces – a Mutable Guna, and the Third, a Capricorn, a Cardinal Guna. We even see these numbers expressed in their names: Aurobindo has 9 letters, Mother has 6, and ??? (Thea) as it is properly written has 3.”
Mr. Wilkinson doesn’t understand that it is the Puranas which speak about the avatars and not the Vedas. Vedas do not consist of stories, prophetic messages or premonitions, but pure scientific and philosophical concepts which are metaphorically personified as cryptic riddles. He also presents his ignorance and amusing imagination when he adds the numbers in the date of births of Aurobindo, The Mother and Thea, forgetting that the years in the dates are “relative” to the Christian calendar which assumes the world was created in 4004 B.C and hence is not Vedic. Thus, again we see a shining instance where new-age cults interpret something imaginative, calling it Vedic that too by superimposing on it an Abrahamic framework.
Ignorance alone blinds the pseudo intellectuals to understand why christians celebrate christmas on 25th December only and why Hindus celebrate Diwali, Holi etc on different dates every year. Sathya Sai Baba died at 85 solar years. If it is mapped to lunar years, it becomes “96 years”.
Patrizia Norelli, the teacher of Mr.Wilkinson, in her defence on why she is being rejected and opposed by everyone and why she is not being accepted as the “third” in the solar line of avatars claims:
“In every Age of Vishnu the hostile force that must be dealt with will always be an agent of the status quo since every appearance of Vishnu’s emanations introduces a new level of consciousness and a progress up the ladder of evolution. Thus, it necessarily stands that the third ‘integer’ and its representative will be the most combated, because without that Third there is no dynamism… Supermind carries the process to greater heights by updating the Line of Ten Avatars in that today’s applications are far more precise and verifiable. Thus the incarnated members of the Solar Line, by their birthdates and hence the zodiacal signs in which they were born, present us with both the number-powers of the Avatar’s Formula as well as the three gunas, rajas-Capricorn (3), sattwa-Leo (9), tamas-Pisces (6). Note that Rajas-3’s elimination is imperative when the objective is to cling to the dual power-base. As such, the renewing thrust of Rajas is entirely missing, resulting necessarily in stagnation. We may thereby state that the simplest way to recognise asuric forces in the Ages of Vishnu is when they are seen to channel their energies to the elimination of the Third at all costs.
Once the three are involved through actual births (otherwise how could the Formula become operational?) to truly make this 9th/10th manifestation of Vishnu different from all his other appearances in previous Ages, a fourth element is demanded. This fourth stage is where time and space become integrated; it is the mysterious ‘conquest’ of the Aryan Warrior in the Rig Veda, the formula of which is revealed in the text.”
One who understands the difference between the Shrutis and Smritis, the Vedas and the Puranas, would understand how Patrizia Norelli has distorted the Vedic teachings to some future predictions to satisfy her obsession with cosmological events and with her inflated ego of being “third” in the solar line which she confirms by her own concocted theories. She reduces Vedic terminologies and the three Gunas, i.e Rajas, Tamas and Sattwa, to some trite formula. She talks about a “new level of consciousness” but fails to understand that the Vishnu avatars arrive only for reviving Sanatan Dharma and the spirit of the Veda and not for self-glorification, for self-broadcast or for name and fame. They come for the upliftment of humanity and not to identify some absurd formulae to predict the nature of the inconceivable Brahman.
The people in Satyuga were known to have an impeccable memory, superlative thinking power, mental capacity, intuitive and intellectual in nature with objectivity to see the truth. Whereas, in Kaliyuga, people are known to have deteriorating powers of discrimination and poor memory that abounds in intellectual stagnation, inability to understand simple concepts and unwillingness to read or comprehend.
Moreover the cult of Patrizia Norelli and her followers are more dangerous to the Hindu society than anti-hindu fundamentalists as they parade the elite intellectual arena as accomplished scholars who have come to teach us Hindu wisdom, when in fact and undercover they hijack Hindu literature, distort it, create their own new-age theories and then promote themselves as evolved seers and avatars. Moreover, when they are not accepted by the mainstream intelligentsia either as worthy scholars or as avatars, they launch bitter and hostile attacks on all individuals and groups who have been well accepted as proponents of Hinduism. Is this how one would expect objective scholars or avatars to behave? The work of an avatar in every age is to take Sanatan Dharma to higher levels and an avatar never fails. If miss Patrizia Norelli was an avatar or third descendent of the solar line, would she be more concerned about spreading Vedic knowledge or more interested in promoting herself as an evolved seer? Vedic seers from the ancient history of India were never interested in broadcasting themselves as special entities, let alone making themselves known.
Their whole life was a selfless dedication to Sanatan Dharma. But what we have today are self-obsessed and self-styled seers such as Patrizia Norelli and her parasitical devotees who suffer from heightened narcissism and attention seeking. When they don’t get the acknowledgement or attention that they desperately seek they spiral into fanatical attacks of other well-respected individuals and groups. Such fascism and extremism can never be expected of avatars or seers of an evolved consciousness.
One can see how the English-educated fraternity and missionary cults that consider themselves superior to Indic teachers and Indigenous gurus of India, use the vedic wisdom and the Hindu practices to make monetary profits at the expense of Hinduism by demeaning the Hindu Gurus, distorting the Vedas and not giving proper credit where it is due.
Today, many Christian missionaries in disguise of promoting Vedic Wisdom make monetary profits at the expense of Hinduism by demeaning Hindu Gurus and promoting their own agendas. In the west today, the yoga practices are termed as “New Age” practices by those who can’t see or don’t want to see Yoga’s integral connection with Hinduism. New terms like “Christian Yoga” have evolved and many percieve Yoga as just a physical exercise. Yoga, which is a Sanskrit term, refers to the mental and physical unification i.e silencing of the mind and control of the physical body, raising of one’s individual consciousness to unite with the supreme consciousness which is denoted as Brahman.
Such a practice also involves questioning one’s own beliefs through a philosophical enquiry, objective in approach or detachment i.e Jnana Yoga. But in Abrahamic religions any spirit of questioning is suppressed and one has to blindly believe in a male-centric god with a particular name as given in the “book” who has set for humanity a set of DOs and DONTs. Therefore, the terms like Christian Yoga are nothing but mere oxymorons.

Jason Kay says
Paulette Hindu Hater Hadnagy , So what do you have to say about the latest Islamic attack in mumbai ? Im sure Auroville members will be out today promoting the latest attack as having nothing to do with Mohammed or Islam..
The Rise Of Jihad, Revenge Of Gujarat’
Released by Indian Mujahideen
In The Land of Hind
Indian Mujahideen
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, we seek His Help and ask for His Pardon. We believe in Him and on Him we put our trust. We take refuge in Allah from our wrongs and bad deeds. Whomever Allah has Guided will not be misled, and whomever He Misled,
will never be guided. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, no associate with Him and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger.
And all Praises and Glory be to Allah Alone, the Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth, Who revealed in His Qur’an:
(O Kaafirs!) If you demand a judgment, the judgment has then
indeed come to you; and if you desist, it will be better for you;
and if you turn back (to fight), We (too) shall return back, and
your forces shall avail you nothing, though they may be many,
and (know) that Allah is with the believers. (Qur’an 8:19)
All Praises and Glory be to Allah Alone, The One, The
Supreme, Who revealed in His Book:
(O Disbelievers!) We are guiltless of you and of whatever you
worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has
arisen between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever, – unless
you believe in Allah and Him alone. (Qur’an 60:4)
And Peace and Prayers be upon His Servant and His Messenger
Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said:
“I am commanded to fight the people unless they admit that
there is none to be worshipped except Allah, and that
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah and
establish prayers, and pay the zakah, so if they do this then they
have saved their blood and wealth from me, except the rights of
Islam and their accountability is towards Allah”.
[Hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim].
Here we are back – the Mujahideen of India – the terrorists on
the disbelievers – the radicals of Islam – after our triumphant
and successful assault at Jaipur, once again calling you all, who disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to accept Islam and bear witness that there is none to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Accept Islam and save yourselves.
O Hindus! O disbelieving faithless Indians! Haven’t you still
realized that the falsehood of your 33 crore dirty mud idols and
the blasphemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not at all going to save your necks, Insha-Allah, from being slaughtered by our hands? Nor is your fictitious faith in monkeys, pigs and nude statues going to save
you from the Wrath of Allah and His Humiliating Punishment.
Know that it is only the true confession of the Oneness of Allah
Alone, with no associates, that can save your blood from being
spilled on the streets of your own cities.
We call you, O Hindus, O enemies of Allah, to take an honest
stance with yourselves lest another attack of Ibn-e-Qasim sends shivers down your spines, lest another Ghauri shakes your foundations, and lest another Ghaznawi massacres you, proving your blood to be the cheapest of all mankind! Have you
forgotten your history full of subjugation, humiliation, and
insult? Or do you want us to repeat it again? Take heed before it is too late!
Yes! We – the terrorists of India – THE INDIAN
MUJAHIDEEN, – the militia of Islam whose each and every
Mujahid belongs to this very soil of India – have returned, to
execute the compulsion of Allah:
“Fight them (the disbelievers), Allah will punish them by your
hands and bring them to disgrace, and give you victory over
them and He will heal the hearts of those who believe.” (Qur’an
9:14).
Here we begin the answer to your tyranny and oppression,
raising the illustrious banner of Jihad against the Hindus and all
those who fight and resist us, and here we begin our revenge
with the Help and Permission of Allah, – A terrifying revenge
of our blood, our lives, and our honor that will Insha-Allah
terminate your survival on this land.
Remember, O you Gujarati Hindus! O you filthy, shameless
and foul creatures! O you Gujarati Hindus, most immoral and
the most gutless cowards! Remember whom you have fought
against! You have fought against the inheritors of a Messenger
of Allah, of a Prophet of Allah whose terror was cast on the
enemy from a distance of a month’s journey.
You have fought against the warriors who love death more than
you love life, who fight for a cause that makes them enter a
never-ending Paradise, who fight for an absolute purpose – the
purpose of making Islam superior over all religions.
So wait! ……………. Await now……….! Wait only for five minutes
from now! …. Wait for the Mujahideen and Fidayeen of Islam
and stop them if you can – who will make you feel the terror of
Jihad. Feel the havoc cast into your hearts by Allah, the
Almighty, face His Dreadful Punishment, and suffer the results
of fighting the Muslims and the Mujahideen. Await the
anguish, agony, sorrow and pain. Await, only for 5 minutes,
to feel the fear of death.
All Praise and Glory be to Allah, Who Alone Helps His slaves,
Who Alone Fulfils His Promise, and Who Alone Defeats the
enemy.
O leader of disbelieving cowards and eunuchs, Narendra Modi!
O you base-born of illegitimate birth! O you spineless coward!
You boast of the pride of Gujarat and pride of Gujaratis. You
brag of your filthy faith and conviction in Hindutva. You are
the one who claims to be committed and devoted to Gujarat.
You sick politician who used Hinduism to complete your evil
desires. Look! We are back with the Will of Allah, striking in
your own land. With the Will of Allah, assaulting and ruining
your own cities, raiding and ravaging your own territory! Show
us where has all your Gujarati asmita (pride) gone? Look, you
have incurred Allah’s Wrath, You have provoked the
Mujahideen to massacre you and your five and a half crore
multitude of pathetic infidels who tortured us in the post-
Godhra riots asking “where is your Allah”? Here He Is, The
Most Supreme, The Most Sublime, with His Punishment to
chastise you by our hands. We swear by Allah in Whose Hands
are our lives, we will make you, O Modi, an example and a
lesson, that the enemies of Islam should learn from. This is our
beginning! Our commencement! Our Opening Launch! To burn
you alive in your own Hell – your own Gujarat.
O You sick criminals of the Hindu Parishad! You nasty dogs of
the RSS! Yes! We know you, we identify you by your ugly
faces! We will not be satisfied until we make each and every
criminal pay for every drop of blood you spilled and for each
and every cry of the oppressed women and children. Our swords are ready to cut off your veins and to push you into the Hell Fire. This is our assurance to you, a promise to you, a pledge to you, which Allah Alone, The Most Exalted with His Will shall fulfill.
This is our Qisaas – our revenge, and in it lies our life.
In the light of the injustice and wrongs on the Muslims of
Gujarat, we advance our Jihad and call all our brethren under it
to unite and answer these irresolute kafireen of India. We call
you, O Muslims of Gujarat, to elevate yourselves from the fear
of these wretched hindus, to unify all your courage and bravery
that you have in your hearts. Come! Move forward and grasp
the hold of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace be upon him). Get stimulated and reinforce all your strength to revive the same valor and daring as that of the Sahaabah (companions) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
had. Show these weak-willed hindu cowards the onslaught of
Khalid bin Waleed, the determination of Ali bin Abi Talib, the
bravery of Saad bin Abi Waqqas, the heroism of Abu Bakr and
Umar, and the guts of Talhah and Zubair. Let these spineless
Hindus know that you inherit fearless courage of Salahuddin
Ayyubi, Tariq bin Ziyad and Muhammad bin Qasim.
O Muslims of Gujarat! Inspire yourselves from the Qur’anic
chapters of ‘Anfal’ and ‘Taubah’ and from the events of ‘Badr’
and ‘Uhud’. I ask you: Do you still hesitate to fight these
hindus? Just think how much you and we have suffered during
and after the riots. Think of the fraud perpetrated on us in the
name of the Nanavati Commission. Remember the blasphemy
of the Government in the name of judiciary and the fast-track
courts. O my brethren! I ask you and make you witness over
yourself. I ask you what good these bastard police and military
have ever done for us? They all are one, and they unite for only
one purpose – the annihilation of Muslims.
The terms Democracy, secularism, equality, integrity, peace,
freedom, voting, elections are yet another fraud with us. Have
you forgotten what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: “The believer is not stung twice by the same hole”. I ask
you, who has healed your wounds so far? Congress, or BJP?
Do you still want the media and agencies like “Tehelka” to expose your torture and make money in return of your burnt dead bodies and present all this in front of the judiciary so that they can watch this ‘drama’ of your killing and laugh at you, seeing you cry and beg for justice. By Allah! This is much more
humiliating for us than being killed by their hands.
O Muslim youth of Gujarat! O you force of Islam! Stand up and
rise! Fulfill your duty towards Allah:
“O you who believe! Fight those disbelievers who are near you
and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with
those who keep their duty unto Him. (Qur’an 9: 123)
“Go forth light armed or heavy armed and fight with your
wealth and your lives in the way of Allah, that is better for you
if you but knew.[(Qu’ran 9: 41).
Come, O Muslim Youth! Make your preparations with
whatever you have. Join our ranks and help us – the ranks of
Indian Mujahideen to strengthen the Jihad against the Hindus.
Get ready with all the weapons you have. Plan and organize
your moves. Select your targets. Target these evil politicians
and leaders of BJP, RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, who provoke
the masses against you. Target and kill the wicked police force
who were watching the “fun” of your bloodshed and who
handed you to the rioting sinful culprits. Target their hired
informers and spies even if they are the disloyal and betraying
munafiqeen (hypocrites) of our Ummah. O Muslims of Gujarat!
If a petty population of Rajasthani Gujjars can use force for
fulfilling their needs, then are we even more subjugated than
these backwards?
With these triumphant attacks, we send our message to all those
faithless infidels and their hypocrite allies from amongst the so
called Muslims like Arshad Madni & Mehmood Madni who
have bartered their faith in return of just one seat in the
Parliament and we hereby declare an ultimatum to all the state
governments of India, especially to those of Rajasthan, Uttar
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and
Maharashtra to stop harassing the Muslims and keep a check on their killing, expulsion, and encounters. We warn you of your
foolish plots that you plan against us, thinking that you can curb
our missions and foil our targets. Here are our demands that you
must fulfill if you hope for your well being.
a) You agitated our sentiments and disturbed us by arresting,
imprisoning, and torturing our brothers in the name of
SIMI and the other outfits in Indore, Ujjain, Mumbai, and
in other cities of Karnataka. We hereby notify you,
especially the ATS and the STF and the governments of
Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh, to release them all,
lest you become our next targets and victims of our next
attack. Don’t consider us heedless about the crimes you
have committed in recent Indore riots and all this will be,
Insha-Allah brought to account very soon.
b) We warn the Andhra Pradesh government, specifically the
Hyderabad Police, to release the imprisoned Muslim youth
immediately, and to be wise with yourselves. We are
watching you, and our ground-work to gun you down has
already begun. Insha-Allah, we will be rid of you very
soon.
c) To the Maharashtra government and the rascals like
Vilasrao Deshmukh and R.R. Patil, we announce the
deadline to take heed before it is too late. Don’t think we
are unaware of the SRPF attacks on our Masjids and our
homes, the insult of our Qur’an and your enmity with the
Muslims in Digras and the nearby areas in Yavatmal and
of the burning alive of three Muslims in Jalna with the
backing of police. Yes! It is all being recorded and you will
face the ill consequences thereof. And also the troubles
faced by the Madrasa students and Muslim women in
Mumbai Western Railways. We wonder at your memory.
Have you forgotten the evening of 7/11/2006 so quickly
and so easily?
You try to fool us in the name of fast-track courts made for
’93 riot cases, through which you wish to free the actual
Hindu culprits like Madhukar Sarpotdar who was caught
red-handed with illegal firearms while the innocent
Muslims arrested in the bomb blast case are being tried in
the courts for years and years. Is this the hellish justice you
speak of? I urge all the Muslims of Maharashtra to
denounce those Muslim MLA’s who prove themselves to
be the loyal dogs of Congress and NCP. Beware! O you
criminals! you are already on our hit-list and our cross-hair
now! We also alert Mukesh Ambani to think twice before
usurping and building a citadel on a land in Mumbai that
belongs to the Waqf Board, lest it turns into horrifying
memories for you which you will never ever forget.
d) The news of the lawyers of the Bar Council in UP denying
to fight the cases of our Muslim brethren has already
reached us. Remember, you are provoking us to repeat the
same blasts in civil courts that blew up your bodies into
pieces.
e) Lastly, we intimidate and threaten the Media and the
News channels, especially the TIMES OF INDIA and the
TIMES NOW to be extra cautious in their propaganda
war against the Muslims. Your biased and impartial
approach to the news and the noise and the politics you
make of ‘Islamic Terrorism’ indicates your hostility,
hatred and fear that you grudge against Muslims and your
loyal allegiance to the cunning ones who call themselves
the “Intelligence Bureau”. You become dumb when it
comes to the oppression and torture of the Muslims, faced
in riots, firing, encounters, police custodies, remand homes
and civil courts and your propaganda turns violent to
project the ‘brutality’ of ‘Islamic terrorists’ and their
‘ruthlessness’ and their ‘merciless mentality’ and so on.
We warn you to end this hypocrisy or get ready for a
bloody slaughter.
The Indian Mujahideen hereby claim the sole responsibility
of the Gujarat serial blasts, planned and executed by Indians
only and it is our request to Lashkar-e-Toiba and other
organizations, for the sake of Allah, not to claim the
responsibility for these attacks.
This message is a declaration of hostility towards all those
who fight Allah, His Messenger, and His Religion. While
hoping for the Help and Victory from Allah we declare that
such and more severe attacks shall continue irrespective of
what the blamers blame us for.
The hosts (of the kafireen) will all be routed and will turn
and flee. [Qur’an 54: 45].
We ask Allah to forgive us and Have Mercy
on us and Aid us to conquer the unbelievers and
Guide us to raise His Word and degrade His
enemies with His Will Alone.
And peace be upon His Messenger, and
all those who follow the Guidance.
Harish Kumar says
Paulette has now becoming a full-fledged defender of Islam and Muslims. And the worst part is she quotes Aurobindo out of context all the time. One of the fundamental teachings of
Aurobindo was the revival of the Kshatriya spirit and how ignoring it has cost India dearly. Also she accuses people who want action taken against muslims and Islam as some how spiritually
inferior. And that somehow people who are against muslims and the Koran as un-evolved spiritually.
She forgets that Aurobindo defended the hatred the hindus had for the British by saying that “hatred is the strongest form of Rajas” and how it was needed to overthrow the enemy. He
called for the activation in the Hindu society of Rajas and luminous Sattva to overcome the tamas. He did say that that Hindus should become strong enough to resist muslim oppression.
The following is a conversation between Aurobindo and one of his disciples. I wonder what Paulette has to say to it:
Disciple: There is also the question of Hindu-Muslim unity which the non-violence school is trying to solve on the basis of their theory.
Aurobindo: You can live amicably with a religion whose principle is toleration. But how is it possible to live peacefully with a religion whose principle is “I will not tolerate you”? How are you
going to have unity with these people? Certainly, Hindu-Muslim unity cannot be arrived at on the basis that the Muslims will go on converting Hindus while the Hindus shall not convert any
Mahomedan. You can’t build unity on such a basis. Perhaps the only way of making the Mahomedans harmless is to make them lose their fanatic faith in their religion….
Divine love for all human beings is applicable only for evolved souls. Are all hindus fully evolved souls? Majority of them are ordinary folks. For them, the law of dharma applies and they
have a divine duty to perform, the duty of resisting evil, such as Islam, its agents(muslims,secularists), and other evils such as oppressive caste system, Nazism and Fascism etc. And
resistance involves war, hatred, ghoram karma, the terrible deeds, things like what happened in Gujarat, the atrocities committed by the Hindus on the muslim population. These are
necessary procedures an un-evolved soul has to go through before it can evolve to a higher level. In fact those hindus who committed atrocities have grown into a diviner life and closer to becoming a gnostic being than those misguided ignoramuses who advocate Hindu-Muslim unity.
Paulette is playing the role of an Asura, and arresting the spiritual development of Hindus, by asking them to love muslims and respect Islam. She is no different from Mahatma Gandhi who asked Britain and Jews to lay down arms and surrender to Hitler and Nazism.
Islam=Nazism=Communism. Period. All three must be resisted towards the hilt by all means possible by the Soldiers of Light.
Aurobindo called for a war on the Nazis and justified Allied killings and massacre by quoting the Gita, “By none other than me have they already been slayed, be only the occassion to do so”.
Even evolved souls would perform ghoram karma or terrible deeds on the battlefield if called upon by the divine to do so. At the very least they would encourage such acts by the un-evolved souls or at least not condemn it.
For example, Shivaji was guided by Ramdas, who is acknoweldged by Hindus as a great Saint. He brought up Shivaji and told him about muslim atrocities from a very young age, and made him into a warrior. In modern times, Sri Sri Ravishankar has defended Modi and many such examples may be given.
Harish Kumar says
Some more Aurobindonian quotes for Paulette:
The Mahomedan or Islamic culture hardly gave anything to the world which may be said to be of fundamental importance and typically its own; Islamic culture was mainly borrowed from others. Their mathematics and astronomy and other subjects were derived from India and Greece. It is true they gave some of these things a new turn, but they have not created much. Their philosophy and their religion are very simple and what they call Sufism is largely the result of gnostics who lived in Persia and it is the logical outcome of that school of thought largely touched by Vedanta.
I have, however, mentioned [in The Foundations of Indian Culture] that Islamic culture contributed the Indo-Saracenic architecture to Indian culture. I do not think it has done anything more in India of cultural value. It gave some new forms to art and poetry. Its political institutions were always semi-barbaric.

One of the fundamental teachings of Aurobindo was the revival of the Kshatriya spirit and how ignoring it has cost India dearly. Also she accuses people who want action taken against muslims and Islam as some how spiritually inferior. And that somehow people who are against muslims and the Koran as un-evolved spiritually.
She forgets that Aurobindo defended the hatred the hindus had for the British by saying that “hatred is the strongest form of Rajas” and how it was needed to overthrow the enemy. He called for the activation in the Hindu society of Rajas and luminous Sattva to overcome the tamas. He did say that that Hindus should become strong enough to resist muslim oppression.
The following is a conversation between Aurobindo and one of his disciples. I wonder what Paulette has to say to it:
Disciple: There is also the question of Hindu-Muslim unity which the non-violence school is trying to solve on the basis of their theory.
Aurobindo: You can live amicably with a religion whose principle is toleration. But how is it possible to live peacefully with a religion whose principle is “I will not tolerate you”? How are you going to have unity with these people? Certainly, Hindu-Muslim unity cannot be arrived at on the basis that the Muslims will go on converting Hindus while the Hindus shall not convert any Mahomedan. You can’t build unity on such a basis. Perhaps the only way of making the Mahomedans harmless is to make them lose their fanatic faith in their religion….
Divine love for all human beings is applicable only for evolved souls. Are all hindus fully evolved souls? Majority of them are ordinary folks. For them, the law of dharma applies and they have a divine duty to perform, the duty of resisting evil, such as Islam, its agents(muslims,secularists), and other evils such as oppressive caste system, Nazism and Fascism etc. And resistance involves war, hatred, ghoram karma, the terrible deeds, things like what happened in Gujarat, the atrocities committed by the Hindus on the muslim population. These are necessary procedures an un-evolved soul has to go through before it can evolve to a higher level. In fact those hindus who committed atrocities have grown into a diviner life and closer to becoming a gnostic being than those misguided ignoramuses who advocate Hindu-Muslim unity.
Paulette is playing the role of an Asura, and arresting the spiritual development of Hindus, by asking them to love muslims and respect Islam. She is no different from Mahatma Gandhi who asked Britain and Jews to lay down arms and surrender to Hitler and Nazism.
Islam=Nazism=Communism. Period. All three must be resisted towards the hilt by all means possible by the Soldiers of Light.
Aurobindo called for a war on the Nazis and justified Allied killings and massacre by quoting the Gita, “By none other than me have they already been slayed, be only the occassion to do so”.
Even evolved souls would perform ghoram karma or terrible deeds on the battlefield if called upon by the Divine to do so. At the very least they would encourage such acts by the un-evolved souls or at least not condemn it.
For example, Shivaji was guided by Ramdas, who is acknoweldged by Hindus as a great Saint. He brought up Shivaji and told him about muslim atrocities from a very young age, and made him into a warrior. In modern times, Sri Sri Ravishankar has defended Modi and many such examples may be given. And the Sikh Gurus, especially the Tenth Guru who founded the Khalsa Panth.
Harish Kumar says
Paulette’s stand has been no politics, no debates on muslims, no worldly matters…She also says this is the stand of the Aurobindo ashram/Auroville. to stay away from the world which is ugly and vulgar.
Why would such a person be interested in The Third, which describes and records the action of the Supermind in this world? She would and should reject any Third, not just Thea, but any Third, even an Impersonal Third (which was my original idea). In fact she counts Shankaracharyas as one of her influences and has posted about Realistic Adwaita. All she wants to do is lose herself in the Transcendental Brahman. Fine, but then why come to Aurobindo for it, you can have it in a purer form in the Advaita of Adi Shankara. She should lead the entire folk in Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville to any of the four Shankara Mathas and become advaitins.
But for those who believe that Aurobindo worked to bring down a Force into the World, make the Supermind the operating principle around which the world would organise itself, and understand that what Aurobindo represents in the world’s history is not a teaching, not even a revelation but a decisive action direct from the Supreme, and that Aurobindo believed in transforming the world and making the life on earth diviner than it is now,we would inquire into how this force is going to work, how this is going to come about.
My own ideas were of an impersonal force acting to transform the world, but at present I accept the teachings of Thea as they best describe the actions of the Supermind in the world and give us the keys to understand the transformation that is happening. I don’t see anybody else even having broached the subject and I was wondering why. Paulettes own other-worldliness and what she says of politics and worldly matters being banned in the Ashram and Auroville give us a clue to why Thea has been rejected. They didnt even consider the possibility of transforming the world and to establish the Life Divine here on earth. Instead they have just gravitated to another form of Advaita, a Realistic Advaita, whatever that might mean and want to lose themselves in the Transcendental Bliss just like the Buddha and Adi Shankara. Naturally such people are apt to mouth the dictum “All religions are one and the same, and embrace the Soldiers of the Darkness (muslims).”
It is not that the Aurovillians and Paulettes have rejected the Third, they don’t seem to have any need for One.
Harish Kumar says
Paulette, why dont you show the same tolerance to Thea, that you show to Muslims? If all is Divine and all is One, then so is Thea. You seem to rebuke Hindus who are anti-muslim, but you are also anti- others.
Paulette Hadnagy says
Racial and religious hatred: this is what this atrocious forum is about. Mirroring the reasons for which Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have altogether vetoed politics and religion: at the Ashram, as in Auroville. By the way, I don’t even read what has been quoted on Islam, in Auroville we simply ignore religion, any religion. Clear?
SRI AUROBINDO AND THE MOTHER ARE YOGIS. ALL THE SPIRITUAL AUTORITIES I HAVE BEEN QUOTING ARE YOGIS, AND THE FRONT IS UNANIMOUS: INTERFAITH, ACCEPTING ANY RELIGION, AS LONG AS ONE CANNOT RAISE ABOVE AND PRACTICE YOGA. RELIGION, ANY RELIGION, IS JUST AN AID FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT RIPE YET FOR YOGA.
The ignorance of you folks is such, not just vulgar ignorance cum manipulation of Sri Aurobindo (fooling around with his quotes, quoting partisan disciples etc.) that you even cast your own hatred on yogis, in this case Sri Aurobindo – blasphemously ignorant of the fact that no yogi can nurture hatred, and even less preach it! What insanity have you been writing, Harish Kumar, lackey of Patrizia Norelli (do you exist? Usually PN is the one who does the writing, signing under others’ names)? This is what Sri Aurobindo writes, on his very self:
“Sri Aurobindo never brought any rancour into his politics. He never had any hatred for England or the English people; he based his claim for freedom for India on the inherent right to freedom, not on any charge of misgovernment or oppression; if he attacked persons even violently, it was for their views or political action, not from any other motive.
Earlier in the year 1907 he had been prosecuted in connection with his editorship of the ””Bande Mataram” and the series of articles he wrote in it under the heading, “The New Path”.
No — the prosecution was for a letter written by somebody to the Editor and for the publication of articles included in the Yugantar case but not actually used by the prosecution. The Bande Mataram was never prosecuted for its editorial articles. The editor of The Statesman complained that they were too diabolically clever, crammed full of sedition between the lines, but legally unattackable because of the skill of the language. The Government must have shared this view, for they never ventured to attack the paper for its editorial or other articles, whether Sri Aurobindo’s or from the pen of his three editorial colleagues. There is also the fact that Sri Aurobindo never based his case for freedom on racial hatred or charges of tyranny or misgovernment, but always on the inalienable right of the nation to independence. His stand was that even good government could not take the place of national government — independence.

India is the land of yogis, not of fanatic warmongers instigating racial and religious violence, murder, carnage! It is because of people like you that religious wars and massacres go on. Ask yourself why such things keep happening – while Tamil Nadu, a haven of peace and tolerance, is free from all such horrors! It is even unconceivable to imagine here what goes on from Mumbai upward! Tamil Nadu is the abode of great yogis and saints, their radiating presence has filled this land: the Kanci Sankaracharyas, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, Ramana Maharshi, Yogi Ramsuratkumar, Vetathiri Maharishi (on his 85th birthday the United Nations had unanimously adopted his resolution on World Peace), Yogi Ramaya, Swami Annamalai, Swami Lakshmana and Matru Sarada, and so many other contemporary yogis, all in Tamil Nadu!
You have no clue on Yoga, no clue on surrender, no clue on the qualities of the psychic being! You can only instigate persecution, character assassination, hatred, the only things you know!
An Aurovilian, a researcher who works at the House of Mother’s Agenda, has reacted to an announcement concerning the last Mumbai blasts by these magnificent quotes:
Behind all destructions, whether the immense destructions of Nature, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, etc., or the violent human destructions, wars, revolutions, revolts, I find the power of Kali, who is working in the earth-atmosphere to hasten the progress of transformation.
All that is not only divine in essence but also divine in realisation is by its very nature above these destructions and cannot be touched by them. Thus the extent of the disaster gives the measure of the imperfection.
The true way of preventing the repetition of these destructions is to learn their lesson and make the necessary progress.

It is always darkest before dawn. And if we only persist, and now is the time for us to do so, the darkness that envelops the country now will in no time disappear before the dawning day that will illumine not only India but the entire East.
Sri Aurobindo Bande Mataram, 1 July 1907
I am afraid I can hold out but cold comfort—for the present at least—to those of your correspondents who are lamenting the present state of things. Things are bad, are growing worse and may at any time grow worst or worse than worst if that is possible — and anything, however paradoxical, seems possible in the present perturbed world. The best thing for them is to realise that all this was necessary because certain possibilities had to emerge and be got rid of, if a new and better world was at all to come into being: it would not have done to postpone them for a later time. It is, as in Yoga, where things active or latent in the being have to be put into action in the light so that they may be grappled with and thrown out or to emerge from latency in the depths for the same purificatory purpose. Also they can remember the adage that night is darkest before dawn and that the coming of dawn is inevitable. But they must remember too that the new world whose coming we envisage is not to be made of the same texture as the old and different only in pattern, and that it must come by other means — from within and not from without; so the best way is not to be too much preoccupied with the lamentable things that are happening outside, but themselves to grow within so that they may be ready for the new world, whatever the form it may take.
Sri Aurobindo 17-7-1948”
YOGA – NO RELIGION!
Y O G A!
PS. How are the lady’s horses doing? Once the mere sight of the Indian Aurovilian running the Centre of Indian Culture made Patrizia Norelli fall from her horse, in Kodaikanal! Harish Kumar (alias Patrizia Norelli?), tell the lady (yourself?) who goes in a frenzy just at the sight of one single cockroach (Supermind, Patrizia Norelli style!), that I take into my hands cockroaches, frogs and others, and throw them out – but I kill scorpions, including the emperor crab-like type. I clean my own flat (I refuse servants), ride only a cycle, have been working at the Matrimandir construction site and on the roof (carrying pipes, on scaffoldings etc.). I was the first one cleaning with my hands, no gloves, on my own initiative, the waste ponds around Mata Amritanandamayi Ashram; others joined me, and now there are high rise buildings instead. I also cleaned toilets, this too on my own initiative, during the Shankaracaryas’s chaturmasya retreat in Enathur (university). This is what realistic Advaita means, in my own yogic practice [forget the Supermind].
Don’t you have anything better to do – for example, keeping Madam’s horses and stable clean? Even better: teaching her how to catch cockroaches and throw them out, without killing them?
Harish Kumar says
Paulette, you speak so much about the Hindu culture of tolerance. But you fail to realise that Hindus had no choice but to be tolerant. Under the Mogul rule, any criticism of Islam would not be tolerated. Similarly under British rule, you could not speak too much against Christianity, even though the practice of Hindu religion was not affected as in the Mogul rule.
Bollywood movies, in fact all Indian movies have, till very recently showed the villains to be Christians, with a prominent cross hanging down their necks and speaking in English. And having Christian names. Universally, the villains have always been Christians. Why is this so? Is it not because Hindus know very well that christians are not going to set of bomb blasts due to negative portrayal of christians? If any movie had a muslim as a villain, there would be a hue and cry about the negative portrayal of muslims and how hindutva has corrupted the movie industry. Also note how hindus went on a rampage and killed 5000 Sikhs in New Delhi after the assassination of Indira Gandhi in just one night. I remember at that time, we would refer to Sikhs as terrorists even in Tamil Nadu and felt nothing bad about calling Sikhs as terrorists. It was internalised that every bearded guy(sikh) with a turban was a terrorists. But the secular brigade was nowhere to be seen condemning us for stereotyping a community, like now when they cry islamophobia too often.
I remember, when I was a college student, everybody used to make obscene jokes about Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. Being a perceptive observer, I used to followup by cracking a joke about Mohammad, the Prophet of Islam. Immediately all my friends would remind me of how Hinduism is a religion of tolerance and peace and broad mindedness and would tell me how Vedanta advocated a spirit of Oneness and seeing all things in Divine and the Divine in all things, and another dude with a cigar in one hand and brown sugar in another would intone “Ekam Sat Vipraha, Bahuda Vadanti”, and ask me to rise to the level of Rishis and see One in all and All in One. Sanskrit verses would fly left right and centre reminding me of my glorious heritage of tolerance. Five seconds later, after the Oneness lecture in Sanskrit, obscene jokes about Mother Mary and Virgin Birth would begin.
Paulette has mistaken terror-struck individuals for enlightened beings, and this gives us an insight into her level of enlightenment. Its time somebody gave her “asylum” and spared the rest of us from her advaitic half-englightened rants.
Harish Kumar says
How dare you compare Thea to myself? She is way ahead of me in Yogic Realisation.
That said, she is quite capable of responding herself and she would not like to be in the scum pond like this full of bacteria like you. I came here on my own and responding in my own capacity.
–>>Don’t you have anything better to do – for example, keeping Madam’s horses and stable clean? Even better: teaching her how to catch cockroaches and throw them out, without killing them?
In fact, I am doing an even better thing, trying to put some sense into your head, but from your posts full of ad hominem attacks, it is clear this is one effort in which I will never succeed. You are so full of yourself Paulette, incapable of Seeing, you have chosen blindness over Perfect Vision, invective over argument.
Can you produce a single page, pardon me, a paragraph of literature explaining why Thea’s explanation of the workings of the Supermind is wrong? Where exactly it is wrong? In fact there is nobody in this world who is capable of coming up with a decent criticism of her intellectual and spiritual works.
Paulette Hadnagy says
Dear Harish,
I know that you don’t know what Yoga is, hence you don’t know what surrender is. But if the gurus proclaim “no politics”, “no religion”, and I am their sadhak, it really means no politics, and no religion.
However, why don’t you like my realistic Advaita practice? It would make you a lot of good. Ramana Maharshi said that the shortest way to Self-realisation is the silent satsang at the feet of the sadguru; this was also my first question to Shanakaracharya, after a six months silence. However, for inveterate cases like yours and PN’s, in my humble opinion the best options would be cleaning toilets at the Ashram of Mata Amritanandamayi, especially when 80,000 people show up just in one row. Don’t you know that cleaning toilets, there, was a prerogative of the Western disciples – at least before the high rise buildings came up? Practice Realistic Advaita sir, better late than never! Please do.
[If you are not so crazy about toilets you can always join Ramana Maharshi cutting vegetables at 3 in the morning in the kitchen – plus of course Amma peeling potatoes.]
We had 27 Sri Aurobindos and 98 Mothers. One more, one less, who bothers? This is how the Mother’s attendant and other early sadhaks used to reply, laughingly, to my newly arrived, bewildered self.
Kindly excuse me sir, the Asura I am has to wash dishes and afterwards do some work. Extol the virtues of Madam to someone else. Bye bye, American pie!
Harish Kumar says
At one level, Paulette’s love for Hindu-Muslim Unity, and her collection of phrases from Aurobindo, somewhat out of context though, are correct, in the sense that she is stuck at the Transcendental level (9) of realisation. At that level, All is One, and so Hindu Muslim Unity makes sense. At the next level, Cosmic/Mother (6) there is differentiation, but still one level removed from the material creation. It is only at the level of the Individual Divine (3), that there is proper differentiation and the opposition between divine and demoniacal, light and darkness comes into play, and the need to choose Light over Darkness.
My attacks on Islam are not attacks on a “religion” or a “spiritual path”. Islam is a totalitarian system which is against the Freedom of Thought and Expression. Yogic progress which is based on spiritual experimentation is not possible under this system. Islam presents an evolutionary dead-end to mankind. All right thinking individuals should work to bring an end to it. War against Islam is Yoga, because it opens the path to a greater light. ( I have never attacked Sufism).
Paulette, if you accept Islam as a valid spiritual path, you should do the same with Nazism as well and embrace the Ku Klux Klan as well. Mohammad was delusional and even the Advaitic Swami Vivekananda who gave the stirring speech in Parliament of World Religions, about the Unity of All Religions, mentions that Mohammad went mad because he did not do Yoga properly and that he was possessed. Mohammad himself admits temporary possession by Satan. What more do you want?
Harish Kumar says
Paulette, I have no problem with your Advaita, neither am I impressed by Advaita to take to it. I am an Aurobindonian and I became one because I was dissatisfied with Advaita. I cannot understand how you can be both. Good luck with your toilet cleaning. If that brings you closer to Divine so be it. But don’t expect everyone to do it, and mind your language when you talk about my Guru. Why such respect for Mohammad, the refusal to criticise Islam or answer queries about verses in Islam advocating slaughter of Kafirs, but such hatred towards Thea? Why not treat PNB’s path as another valid and legitimate one and give her respect, and point out where she is wrong?

Thea IS the ‘third’ in the solar line and, as the reincarnation of Sri Aurobindo, I’m the ‘fourth’ and therefore the 10th Evolutionary Avatar. Just look at my name, that’s proof enough, surely!

Ramana Maharshi was attacked numerous times in his life, both physically and verbally. He never retaliated. And in the end, He always won. I owe my deep appreciation of Indian spirituality and philosophy to this great man, whom I’ve never met in person and whose presence in this darkened world has transformed my life. I also have a profound respect for the Upanishads, Vasistha, Adi Sankara, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as well as countless others whom I have never met in the flesh, yet whose words, actions and example continue to guide and inspire me. Namasivaya.
