Saffron Patriotism
Bharat-the Mother of All Religions Long before the dawn of civilizations in other parts of the world, the Vedic sages and seers of Bharatavarsha evolved a scientific, universal and eternal way of life, Sanatana Dharma or Hindu Dharma, which spread to distant continents. The rishis discovered that the source of all creation is a nameless, formless Supreme Being (Parama Purusha) whose Energy or Power manifests as the entire universe.
Modern science agrees with the truth that the entire creation is manifestation of Consciousness or Consciousness-Force as Sri Aurobindo rightly calls. Sun, the source of material world and all forms of life was adored as Savitru–the stimulator or one who vivifies–and His power, as Gayatri–that which protects those who live in tune with Nature. Sun, without which life is impossible, was symbolically represented in the Fire–Agni–and adoration of Fire–Agnihotra– came into existence. In Persia the Vedic worship of Agni created a religion called Zoroastrianism with its scripture, Zend Avesta, full of hymns borrowed from the Vedas.
This Vedic religion of nature worship spread to Arab countries
where the Sun God, Ravi, the One with the Fierce Force, became
Ra–the Arabic Sun God. In Bharat, the sun which is nothing
but a fierce form of energy– Aruna–which transformed into
matter–the earth or the mountain–Achala–is worshipped
as Arunaachaleswara–the Supreme God who transformed
into material universe. After the advent of Islam in Arabia, the
fierce God–Rudra Shiva–who was worshipped by early Arabs in
the Kaba–the Holy Shrine of Kapaleeswara or Makka Maheswara–became the stone which is adored with perambulation in the Hindu style, even today, by Muslims from all over the world visiting Mecca.
The power of the Ultimate Reality, viz. the Shakti or KanyaKumari, the ever virgin mother nature, became the Mother Goddess, Umma or Ummi (derived from Sanskrit name Uma) flanked by two lions and worshipped in Babylonia, Greece and Crete and later became the Virgin Mary of Christianity. The Brahman meaning that which is spread everywhere or the Ultimate Reality or father of all creation became Abraham and Ibrahim in Semitic religions. Thus the concepts that arose in the Vedic spiritual culture of Bharata were accepted and adopted by all religions all over the world and Mother Bharat became the “mother of all religions” as Swami Vivekananda called Her. She became the abode of universal religion and human brotherhood. Jesus came to India at the age of fourteen and stayed for fifteen years, sitting at the feet of great Vaishnavite, Shaivite and Tantric masters at places like Rajgir and Varanai and practised Tantric Buddhism at Hemphis Gupha in Tibet. When he returned to Jerusalem to preach what he had learnt in India, he was put on the cross by the Romans, but he was saved by Mother Mary and Mary of Magdalene with the help of Eesanath Panthis (Essenes) and Theraputta Buddhists (Therauputs) and secretly brought to India. He settled down in Kashmir Valley and attained Mahasamadhi there.His Samadhi even today exists by the side of the Rose Bal Lake in Kashmir.
Violence and Bloodshed-the Characteristic Marks of Semitic Religions
However, the Roman Christians misappropriated the name of Jesus and produced a demonic religion called Christianity which came into existence during the period of King Constantine, four hundred years after the death of Jesus the Christ. Christianity attempted to wipe out the Jews and was at loggerheads with Islam which came into existence later. The Crusades were waged and millions of people perished in the wars. The Semitic religions under the control of fanatic and fundamentalist bigots unleashed reins of terror destroying human societies that pursued any path other than that preached by Christianity or Islam. Christianity wiped out Pagan religions which arose out of the concept of nature worship propagated by the Vedas in Europe, Australia and America. Islam, an Arab Nationalist Movement, was started by Mohammad who wanted to establish the rule of Qureshi tribe all over the Arab country and proclaimed himself as the Messenger of Allah, the only God, and waged war against all those who did not accept him as the sole representative of God. Later, Islam also went out on a spree destroying all those who did not accept Prophet Mohammad and Allah, condemning the non- believers as Kafirs. Islam spread to Persia and wiped out the religion there and later invaded India. Hundreds of temples in India were destroyed, Hindus were killed mercilessly and Hindu women were raped and children butchered in Jihad or holy war in the name of Allah.
