This has been used to exploit Hindu Society and get away with NO QUESTIONS ASKED. The verifiable parameters certify this. After Independence, Hindu Society had become poorer, while the wealth of Hindu Gurus and trusts owned by them has improved significantly and stands second in ranking. Some achievement by our Dharmic (Religious) Gurus!
Today they are the most powerful lot in India because of their wealth and political connections.AND HINDU SOCIETY, SLOWLY, IS LOSING ITS SAY EVEN IN COUNTRY'S DECISION MAKING.
Please ask any social scientist anywhere in the world and you will get this answer: No Society can progress if their Dharmic Gurus have already started Dharmic preaching with negative frame of mind.
What more negative can the preachers become when they declare that we are living in the worst Yug, though this is WRONG? But that is the way things stand in Hindu Society and WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIS.
Hindu Gurus, Stop quoting Sanskrit text to support your claim. As it is the entire Puraans/religious texts are written in coded language called Sutras, and the proof of what is being said is Ganesh- Vyas dialogue, before Lord Ganesh gave consent to pen Mahabharat.
If Lord Ganesh took time at places to understand the coded language of Maharishi Vyas, how can the present day commentator be sure of the translation or comprehension of the text?
Why are they glorifying Satyayug? What are the parameters they are using to support their claim?
Remember quoting Sanskrit Shloka is NOT a parameter.
Remember, Satyayug is only accepted and believed by Hindus, so the entire parameters to determine if Satyayug was the worst period for humanity is within our PURAANS only. And in this information age the parameters are known to everyone.
Following are the parameters with brief explanation there of:
1. Number of avatars in that Yug : We know that avatars come as humans or even as animal when certain corrections are required (READ: Avatars Defined ). Satyayug had four avatars, Treta Yug had two Dwaaper Yug had two and Kalyug has had NONE so far, and according to Hindu belief shall have one. And there is one avatar called Matsya Avatar during the in-between period of Kalyug and next Satyayug. The conclusion is obvious. Avatars come on this earth when the problems are unmanageable for humanity. This parameter clearly establishes that Satyayug was WORST and Kalyug BEST.
2. Cyclic theory of evolution: The start of any new era is always accompanied by exploitation of females and weaker section. This is compounded by the fact that some people of earlier Kalyug enter this new Mahayug after a long and tough journey over sea. Read post: MATSYA AVTAR IN LIGHT OF GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS. The fact remains that cyclic theory together with theory of Karma clearly indicate that the maximum number of persons moving towards MOKSH(SALVATION) , could be in Kalyug, as it is THE END of Mahayug, i.e. people have, through the long process of repeated births, as per the theory of Karma, have improved themselves. Once again it establishes that Kalyug is a better Yug for humanity. We know the serious problems we are facing. Yet there is no Avatar. That means the problem in Satyayug were worst.
Please also remember the following facts in deciding how good or bad Satyayug was :
a) All Puraans contain vivid description of wrong and deplorable deeds of Rishis and Maharishis. I do not intent to discuss this here. But take any Puraan, and the inescapable message(s) are there. Their behavior also provides the explanation why they are trying to exploit the Hindu Society. This is the continuing unending trend. If one wants to have some glimpses of this read : Pre Ram Era..Dharm used for exploitation of females..Ram ended this.
b) Vaanars were evolved humans of Satyayug. Unlike humans of earlier YUG who came in this Mahayug from earlier Kalyug, they were the children of this Mahayug. Yet they were treated as animals and only in Treta Yug during Ram Avatar they could be provided with equal status.
Note: Hindu religion texts are the only religion text in the world which provide REPEATED instances of exploitation by Rishis, Maharishis and even Devtas. I would like to stress on the word ‘REPEATED INSTANCES’.
Perhaps that is the main reason why Hindu religion could survive for such a long period of time. So please understand Gurus and Religious preachers have a responsibility to improve the condition of Hindu Society on the basis of verifiable parameters.
BUT THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED AFTER INDEPENDENCE.
Please also Read the Hindi Post :
Have gone through some of ur blogs.
ReplyDeletepretty interesting view points.
But this article brought a smile on my face.
Equating how gd a yug was based on avatars n ur perception of treatment of women is not a correct way.
simple 2 points
1 SATYUG was 3 times that of kalyug
2 For each YUG there are instruction on what u sld(duties) n how to interact with god. Duties for kalyug are way to simple n easy than satyug because of obvious reasons.
3 we never had a womens right movement like other nations.We were always told to respect women,nature etc. but the whole nation has been corrupted by bhramins,mughals,greed etc. over time.
cheers
Just like a Second, a Minute, an Hour, a Day , a Week , a Month and a Year has a PHYSICAL definition , and that physical definition is Verifiable, so a YUG, too, need a physical definition to move forward' Then the present TEARS, that are being brought by EXPLOITATION of HIndu Samaj , could really become smiles.
ReplyDeleteSatyug is a beginning of NEW CIVILIZATION , and we ALL KNOW that every beginning consists of exploitation of females and weaker section.
Secondly, if Avtars come to bring CORRECTION in Society and also to provide a way to move forward , then number of Avtars is an important indicatior of the hardship faced by the then society.
PLease understand...."DO NOT try to EXPLOIT this Hindu Samaj further by providing Emotional reasons..we need PHYSICAL VERIFIABLE REASONS"
The position of the world in the Dwapara Sandhi era at present (a.d. 1894) is not correctly shown in the Hindu almanacs. The astronomers and astrologers who calculate the almanacs have been guided by wrong annotations of certain Sanskrit scholars (such as Kulluka Bhatta) of the dark age of Kali Yuga, and now maintain that the length of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years, of which 4994 have (in a.d. 1894) passed away, leaving 427,006 years still remaining. A dark prospect! and fortunately one not true.
ReplyDeleteNow, in this 1 94th year of Dwapara Yuga, the dark age of Kali having long since passed, the world is reaching out for spiritual knowledge, and men require loving help one from the other. The publishing of this book, recjuested from me by my holy paramguru maharaj Babaji, will, I hope, be of spiritual service.
