Contributions of Indian Muslim religion in Modern Hinduism

INDOLOGY- Is a subject. But here it is for talking about the heavenly Earth in coming days............. .....PLEASE BECOME A FOLLOWER & ADVICE OTHERS TO FOLLOW.........




.In my last article I wrote about the influences of other religions over Hinduism. The eras of Sri Chaitnya Mahaprabhu ,Sri Guru Nanak & Sri  Bhaktaraj Kabir  ,lastly Sri Ramakrishna with other Mahapurusas of this period ,all are the resultant of direct or indirect influences of Muslims in India.

A.Today  I will discuss some other ritual customs of the Muslims which I respect as good and adaptable.
The systems of worshipping the Allah by Islam is  beautiful. And if this is adopted by the other religions in their day to day’s life ,it will be easier to worship their own God / Bhagawan.
 1. The system of UZZU for cleansing before prayer, and when the water is not available is so simple.
2. regular prayer conjointly and in regular interval.
3.to adopt a simple life , not even wearing dress below ankle to avoid the subconscious ego/Ahankar.etc.
4. Asanas for prayer is a regular exercise.

5. No essence /perfume before God.[here may have some debates]

B.. Next I like to discuss about the Sanskrit . We have a misconception that ,this language is only for priest. This is not al all. The word ‘Sanskrit’ itself says it is revised /cultured. Through this  poetic language the high class philosophers, scientists of previous age used to note down the answer of different puzzles, and invention. I will refer:

1.http://www.vedicsciences.net/articles/sanskrit-nasa.html  2.http://sanskritdocuments.org/articles/ScienceTechSanskritAncientIndiaMGPrasad.pdf

3.   https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&cad=rja&ved=0CGsQtwIwCA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3cQ4hIG9w7c&ei=mgHAUZCDKoiRrQeVmIHICA&usg=AFQjCNEZ7jVxFSLaZ9gSe8a1c-OrSDz16Q&sig2=aSdg4yZFXG3lm6R4-6wwdA

So at least we all should know this language to some extent and in our own local language's version.

C. Not only Sanskrit we should know the Arabic also, in Bengali version at least[like wise in other Indian regional languages for those related regions] ;to know the meaning of different Islamic words, pronunciation. This can control many misunderstanding in peoples of different religions.

I have  coined the word 'Indian Muslims' for this, as they even do not know the meaning of all Arabic words.

 In India we all need therefore our own local language,English, and Sanskrit & Arabic in regional languages . If somebody feel more interest he/she can go into the deeper latter.

I’m telling this repeatedly because  today we cannot think ourselves [Hindu ] without our neighbors[Muslims and others]. 

ERAS OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS IN WORLD & SANATAN INDIA

INDOLOGY- Is a subject. But here it is for talking about the heavenly Earth in coming days............. .....PLEASE BECOME A FOLLOWER & ADVICE OTHERS TO FOLLOW..........

1.Era Of Bramhins. [ Includes Yogis, Rishies,Paramhansas,Abadhutas]

2.Era Of Nath Yogies.[Includes Saivas,Bhairabas,Yogis,Kapaliks]

3  Era Of Mahaveers

4.  Era Of Buddhas. 

5 Era Of Sankaries. [ SRI SANKARACHARIYA  ADMITTED SRI BUDDHA AS SRI VISHNU AVATAR. THE MOST POWERFUL ERA FOR HINDU. TILL DATE 4 AMNAIES[PATHS/SYSTEMS] & DOSONAMI(10 TYPES) SAMPRADIES ARE PRESENT FOR HIM & ACTIVE. HE ORGANISED SRI KUMBHA MELA  IN A NEW FORM.

 [ 6 Era Of Isaism(CHRISTIAN).

 7 Era Of Islam(MUSLIMS) ]

 8. Era Of  Chaitanya-Vaisabhism

          [ALSO ERA OF

                                   SRI NANAKJI       & 

                                   SRI KABIR JI- 

       9.THE ERA OF BRAMHOISM.[RAJA RAM MOHON ROY]

ALL THESE LAST THREE ERAS ARE THE resultant of Islam].THE BRAHMO DHARMA HAS GOT THE INFLUENCES OF THE CHRIST ALSO.

                      IN INDIA 7^TH ERA COMES PRIOR TO 6^TH ERA.

 10. Era Of Ramakrishnaism

 [resultant of Vaisavism,Brahmism& ISAISM] .

Now we are in this 10th ERA. Although peoples of all Eras are present around the world and in India, in  Modern India  this modern Hindus are the resultant of BRAMHO,Islam and Isaism[CHRISTAN] . If these two religions did not come into India the 9th  Era did not appear perhaps. 

I think these are the most positive contributions to the Hindu religion from outside. 

Modern Hinduism has experienced The Muslim cultures & the Christianity. This has been revamped by them. Now they are refractive  and tolerant to them. 

The Hinduism before the advent of the Muslims  had SAKTA,VAISHNAB,SAIVA,GANAPATYA, SOURI. This had NATH-PHYLOSOPHY & SADHUS, JAINASM, BUDDHAISM. She had KAPALIKS, AGHORIES, NAGAS, BAULS. After the Muslims, Crhristian ;She is  experiencing the Muslims & the Christians ,the SUFIS,SATYAPEERS, PEERS  with in Her.

Today  Hinduism is much more evoluted. She does not feel unholy with the touch of  other classes, foods etc. This is MODERN HINDU.

Their negative points are they do not know even what is their religion's main source. Some say Ramayana,Mahabharata ,some will say The Geeta,The Chandi,and some will say it is the Vedas.

Most of us rarely read this Books.Some of us know some stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata.Sometimes some Gurus teach about the Geeta and The Chandi to somebody. But the Vedas almost nobody does ever read or know.

 Though all Hindus have some similarities; like all worship with fire& light. Some with sound energy. All follow OM as their own heritage,all believe in GURU,REBIRTH, KULA[BANSA/linkage],EFFECTS OF KARMA of previous life, KALA-CHAKRA, FATE and DESTINY,KRIYA,YOGA,DHYANA and after death  CREMATION sometime SAMADHI.

Swami Vivekananda said : if you take off all religions of the world the rest mankind is the Hindu. He said we have no religion we follow the rules taught by our Rishis & Munis. So we have no specific religious book.

 To Hindu ‘Religion’ is the system of all corners of life & human cultures that too again full of variations. In one side there is worshiping of deity, stone, tree and what not . In other side we know the God has no form . SHE/HE IS OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT etc. 

So they can easily accept all the religions of the world. And they are most flexible. 

This is possible for the neighbors of other religions. 

Their presence side by side always is acting in Hindu's mind as a remembrance about the total entity of Iswar . At least to those who are MODERN HINDU & IS FOLLOWING SRI RAMAKRISHNA’S/ALIKE OUTLOOK.

The problem is arising more as the Vedas are in Sanskrit. And in India today this language is very neglected. Though the common people should know all books are available in their own vernacular.In  Bengal we can get this for the great contribution of Sri Abdul Al Aman Aziz from Harrap Publication Kolkata . Here again we can find- if a Muslim did not come forward ,the Bengalee did not get the Vedas  in Bengali. Though I'm a doctor , I can feel it's depth and vastness everyday and for this I'm grateful to this great man always.

Sri Rituporno Ghosh -A SEVERE LOSS

INDOLOGY- Is a subject. But here it is for talking about the heavenly Earth in coming days............. .....PLEASE BECOME A FOLLOWER & ADVICE OTHERS TO FOLLOW..........

Today as a Bengali & Indian it is a great loss to lose him. I think as he was the modern representative of Bengal's /Indian art and movies. He was the very good example of a sober modern personality also.And obviously a new exemplary of human beauty with whom we always dwell together.

let Sri Sri Ma reposes his SOUL.

Miss Margaret Noble[Sister Nivedita]/Sri Sri Nivedita

                              

                                                               SISTER NIVEDITA

INDOLOGY- Is a subject. But here it is for talking about the heavenly Earth in coming days............. .....PLEASE BECOME A FOLLOWER & ADVICE OTHERS TO FOLLOW..........

Sister Nivedita (1867–1911), is actually Margaret Elizabeth Noble,an irish lady who was an author, teacher and latter became the disciple of Swami Vivekananda. And sacrifised her life for India. AND TILL DATE INDIA HAS DONE VERY LITTLE FOR HER.

Sri Vivekananda gave her the name

Nivedita-"Sacrificed to God"

Swami Vivekananda gave her Diksha on 1898.

 However because of her active contribution in  Indian Nationalism, she came out  from the a the Ramakrishna Mission latter .

She was very intimate withSri Sri Ma Sarada the wife/SRI SHAKTI of Sri Ramakrishna .Still Sri Nivadita had one of the major influences behind  Sri Ramakrishna Movement .

At Derjiling upon her Smriti-Soudha [epitaph]  the correct words are choosen to salute Her..........

Here reposes Sister Nivedita who gave her all to India

.Initiated by Swami Vivekananda and with deep regards sacrificing all the earthly pleasures Margaret left the WEST and visited India for the first time on 28 January 1898.

 Jesophine McLeod, Mrs. Ole Bull, Vivekananda, and Sister Nivedita.

 Josephine Mcleod and Sara Bull and this helped her in connecting to Indian masses, Indian culture and its history. She also went to United States to raise awareness and get help for her cause.Mother Probuddha Prana who is an American and still alive and is working in Sri Sarada Math ,has written a beautiful book on Josephine Mcleod[Aunt Jo].It's a divine grace that she came to our home and presented this book in Bengali.

Sri Sri ma Sarada Devi with Sri Sri Nivedita

 

Sarada ma said : Naren[Vivekananda] has brought a white lotus for the worship  of THAKUR[SRI RAMAKRISHNA]

 An editorial in Karma Yogin of  SRI AUROBINDO, written by Nivedita, we find the intense respect for India:

"The whole history of the world shows that the Indian intellect is second to none. This must be proved by the performance of a task beyond the power of others, the seizing of the first place in the intellectual advance of the world. Is there any inherent weakness that would make it impossible for us to do this? Are the countrymen of Bhaskarcharya and Shankaracharya  inferior to the countrymen of Newton and Darwin? We trust not. It is for us, by the power of our thought, to break down the iron walls of opposition that confront us, and to seize and enjoy the intellectual sovereignty of the world."

 She gave her all for India, for the women literacy. Sri Sarada  Moth is founded by her. This is led by the lady monk. She founded Bagbazar girl's school. Though from the west ,she is the torch bearer of Indian women's independence.  On October 13, 1911

only at the age 43 in Dargiling She left us. But Her immortal motherly soul is always with us.

.ONE IS ALL

SAMSAR YOGA/THE ART OF LIVING IN SAMSAR.

INDOLOGY- Is a subject. But here it is for talking about the heavenly Earth in coming days............. .....PLEASE BECOME A FOLLOWER & ADVICE OTHERS TO FOLLOW..........

Samsar is our familiar world. This is the place where we grow up, work, recreate, procreate .This is world where we do many humanitarian works, sin, crime & also divine search starts from here. So this is an hammock where a soul oscillate ,sometimes expand & sometime collapses. To the common people this is a place to earn money and food and sex. To the wise people this is place to gather fame, degree and money. To the saints this is place to deal carefully to avoid sins .

Sadhus Abandon The Samsar. This Is A Maya To Them.  In Samsar Peoples Are Advised To Live With Karma, Namsarana, Diksha .Yoga,Pranayama  ,Proper Food Habit, All Are Important Now A Days.

To me this is a mixed place with light and shade. The common people should follow the path as advised by their Gurus and religion besides works. The different people who search about themselves and have attain a level will find this place is very complexed and they can easily feel why The Saints ,Sadhus avoid family life. But they feel at the same time that the urge of procreation is deep routed. And to overcome this is not a simple job. It is better to stay in samsar rather than doing sin becoming a sadhu. And here they can stay as Hansa –Paramhansa yoga with the Gnyan of Aghoris{who live in cremation ground. Eat very abandoned things but full of mental strength] This is Virachar. This is required because all shorts of wrong foods, touch, thoughts will come in samsar.

To common people divine life is a different state of living. This is guided by all respective religions and guarded also.

 But The Samsaris If Lead Their Ordinary Life And Keep The Divine Souls Aside Making Only Salute To Them They Will Never Realize What They [Common People ]Are Actually Is. For This They Need To Practice The Divine Life In Samsar. And Where The Conflicts Will Be Started.

In this stage they should follow a middle path.

 Which means some disobeying the strict principles of religion. They should come out from their own religions also .Because the world is not made of only one type and this will never happen, . But this disobeying is not does not mean coming out from any religion. This is expansion of self and the realization of the world. This is Virachar. Vir means bold/brave/strong.

In India in Hindu only this scientific path is followed. This is important for all religions.

Suppose the religion is telling to read one book in a very sacred state. But practically it is not being possible. I say read this in any time for the sake of wisdom, learning . If your intention is pure/sacred ,you are sacred by mind ;even if are not bathing/else. Same thing is for food, clothes, sex.

But here more important thing is to keep attachment with his own view and  practice of is divine kriyas [the japa, meditation, bayam , yoga ,chanting etc].In samsar why does the wise people stay? Because they feel this is a forte. Where arrangement of all required thing for living are present [including the ways to resolute the urges of basic instincts]. Where from[samsar]

true joy can be extracted if they can make themselves free form Maya and can realize Maya can control the power of Maya.
