FAKE (for the lack of a better four letter word).

As for the roots of Hinduism - my impression is that there was indeed a movement of Aryans into the Indus Valley == YES. sakas or eastern iranians came into india - thats about buddha's time - 2 to 3 thousand years after Rg Ved was written. (Aryans here meaning Iranian plainsmen, rather than...

while i dont supprt the aggro nature or the language of the letter, i agree with what he said, save in some areas. AIT is "based on Judeo-Christian ignorance" - RIGHT Hindus did not get their religion from Persia - RIGHT there is nothing in common between Hinduism and Zorastras teachings =...

would not be too disingenious - cos though the "brand name" nazism came later, the attitude was there from well,.. a long time. yes its a political vehical now too. only thing is indians have a right to straighten out their history, even if they do it politically. being a political vehicle...

aahh, the fog lifts.

these festivals like easter and chrismas are cultural events then and not religious events?? like a new year or labours day??? if so, i see your point. as for your 1st paragraph, the "christianity BECAME AN ACCEPTED part.." - well what can i say ?! i just hope you know the history of...

after reading your post i am now sure that will durant was a complete ass to have made an outrageous comment like that. but though christianity never adopted pagan theology, it did superimpose itself around paganism did it not. why else is the solstice the same day on which someone is supposed...

hare krishnas are NOT hiundus... what they say and believe in, is all their own with no real links to hinduism. & stop trying to be sardonic like you did in the 1st para - indra is the king of gods - not the preserver of life. hence the various planes of existance are not considered to be...

sanskrit and old persian/avestan are sister languages. no invasion or migratiuon occured cos no evidence has ever been found - but the evidence to the contrary is galore. persians ARE indians. and sanskrit is the oldest of all the languages in the indo-european family, yes. brian - that...

Until the mid-19th century, no Indian had ever heard of the notion that his ancestors could be Aryan invaders from Central Asia who had destroyed the native civilization and enslaved the native population. Neither had South-Indians ever dreamt that they were the rightful owners of the whole...

ok maybe... but is it true that the things considered christian today, christmas and easter etc, were actually important events or deities of pre christian europe ?? if so , then will durant is vindicated and christianity becomes the last pagan religion and christians become pagans in denial

"Isis with the babe Horus became the Madonna with Child. The bearded and horse-borne Germanic god Wodan became Saint Nicolas, later americanized as Santa Claus. Even the Buddha found a place on the saints’ calendar under the name Saint Josaphat. The autumnal celebration of the dead became All...

it doesnt matter what shivaites think of this. since vishnu is the preserver of life, all the stages or planes of existance that life can acquire, are considered the avatar of vishnu and not someone else's. same with devi - ince she does not examplify life in its various forms/planes of...

no one agrees or disagrees to this or has anything to add ???

er the brits had the reins of india. if ram mohon roy wanted to make sati cumpulsory instead of abolishing it, he would still have to approach the same brits to pass the law. so aside of "signing on the line" they did precious little - nor could they care less if it was abolished or continued...

first to answer Agnideva.... yes there was. sort of like Buddha. who was very much a human like you or me. Its only after he showed through his deeds and wisdom that he was no ordinary man, that he became deified as the 9th Avatar of Vishnu - the epitome of the enligtened man. same with Rama...

its called "deification". both Raam and Krishn' are deified real humans. http://koenraadelst.voiceofdharma.com/books/ait/index.htm

ram mohon roy.

the "people of the iranian plateau" went from india as their own and also hindu historical records prove. here - all you need to know - http://koenraadelst.voiceofdharma.com/books/ait/index.htm esp.. chapter 4.6

to answer the original question - positively ? - hardly negetively ? - hugely and for good most likely
