PREFACE
WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK ?
1. MALICIOUS STATEMENTS OF CHRISTIAN PROSELYTISERS
(i) J.P. Leonard, S.J. Archbishop of Madurai, proclaimed unambiguously :
�If we would reveal our intentions, without hiding them at all, we hold that the Hindu
Puranas and Hinduism must disappear from this land; and the sooner they disappear, the
more welcome.�1 - J.P. Leonard
(ii) Richard Temple, while addressing a Christian audience in England in 1883,

expressed his fond hope that Hinduism will die out. He said :
�India is like a mighty bastion, which is being battered by heavy artillery. We have
given blow after blow, and thud after thud, and the effect is not at first very remarkable;
but at last with a crash the mighty structure will come toppling down, and it is our hope
that some day the heathen religions of India will in like manner succumb.�2 - Richard
Temple
(iii) Francis Xavier once declared :
�I order everywhere the temples pulled down and all idols broken. I know not how to
describe in words the joy I feel before the spectacle of pulling down and destroying the
idols.�3 - Francis Xavier
(iv) In January, 1993, a group of Newzealand anglicans under the leadership of Mr. Paul
Saunders came to Bharat to propagate Christianity. He bewailed with astonishment :
�Ninety per cent of India is Hindu, and there is an incredible lack of knowledge about
Christianity While the Christian faith has been in India for a long time, only three per
cent are Christians.� - Paul Saunders
(v) During the course of the TV programme, the Dayspring International also quoted
Lady Teresa saying :
�There is no solution to the problem of Indian people apart from the Gospel of
Christ.�4 - Lady Teresa
(vi) The Dayspring International lamented :
�Though Christianity has been in India for nearly 2,000 years, we have less than three
per cent of the population. Ninety seven per cent are yet to be reached.�
The afore-mentioned malicious intentions and statements indicate categorically that the
Christian missionaries have posed a serious threat to the security and integrity of our
country. In order to meet this threat effectively, I took pains to write this book, so that the
world should know where the truth lies.
2. X-RAY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II�S �ECCLESIA IN ASIA�
(i) Pope�s plan to Christianise Asia in third millennium
When Pope John Paul II paid a visit to Bharat in November, 1999, he signed and
presented on November 6, 1999 a document, Apostolic Exhortation, on the Church in
Asia, entitled Ecclesia in Asia at New Delhi�s Sacred Heart Cathedral in presence of
more than 300 bishops of Asia. Ecelesia in Asia is a post-synodal address by the Pope to
the bishops, priests and deacons of Asia. In the Introduction, (captioned as �The Marvel
of God�s plan in Asia�) to �Ecclesia in Asia�, the Pope exhorts the bishops and
priests of Asia as under :
�Just as in the first millennium the Cross was planted on the soil of Europe, and in the
second on that of the Americas and Africa, we can pray that in the Third Christian
Millennium a great harvest of faith will be reaped in this vast and vital continent.�5 -
Pope John Paul II
The readers should note that the Pope calls the above Plan as �The Marvel of God�s
plan in Asia�. The afore-mentioned words of the Pope made me think as to why the
whole of Europe and America embraced Christianity. What are the excellences in Bible
which attracted the people of the West towards Christ and his gospel ? This thought made
me study again Holy Bible in contrast to Holy Vedas minutely. The present book is the
result of my minute elaborate comparative study of the two Holy Books.
(ii) Pope : None else but Christ is the Redeemer of the World
The norms of courtesy required that the Pope should have paid tribute to the spiritual
Heroes of Hinduism atleast on the soil of Hindusthan. He not only failed to do so, but
also pronounced and proclaimed - that too on the soil of Bharat - that no other founder of
religion (including Hinduism), except Christ is the sole Saviour of the world. He
instructed the bishops and priests of Asia assembled in the Synod to illustrate and explain
this point to the people of Asia unambiguously. He states in second para of Introduction
to �Ecclesia in Asia� :
�I hoped that the Synod might illustrate and explain more fully the truth that Christ is
the one Mediator between God and man and the sole Redeemer of the world, to be
clearly distinguished from founders of other great religions.�6 - Pope John Paul II
The Pope further says
�The religious values they (religions of Asia) teach await their fulfilment in Jesus
Christ.�7 - Pope John Paul II
The afore-mentioned words of the Pope prompted me to present to the people of not only
Asia but also the world a comparative study of Holy Bible and Holy Vedas to enable
them to judge whether Jesus Christ alone can be the sole Saviour of the world.
(iii) Pope�s clarion call for conversion of the Asians
The Pope John Paul II states in para No. four of Introduction to �Ecclesia in Asia� as
under :
�In recalling the Catholic community�s humble condition, as well as the weaknesses
of its members, the Synod was also a call to conversion, so that the Church in Asia might
become ever more worthy of the graces continually being offered by God�� In 1995, I
invited the Bishops of Asia gathered in Manila to �open wide to Christ the do ors of
Asia.��8 - Pope John Paul II
(iv) Pope : It is the duty of entire Church to convert people to Christianity
The Pope admits in his �Ecclesia in Asia� that the entire Church is missionary and
evangelization (conversion) is its duty :
�The Second Vatican Council taught clearly that the entire Church is missionary, and
that the work of evangelization is the duty of the whole People of God.�9 - Pope John
Paul II
(v) Pope : The Peoples of Asia need Christ and His Gospel
The Pope John Paul II urges upon the disciples of Christ in Asia to put forth their
ceaseless efforts to fulfil the so called divine mission of converting the peoples of Asia to
Christianity on the plea that they need Jesus Christ and his Gospel. He says :
�The peoples of Asia need Jesus Christ and his Gospel. Asia is thirsting for the living
water that Jesus alone can give (cf. Jn. 4:10-15). The disciples of Christ in Asia must
therefore be unstinting in their efforts to fulfil the mission they have received from the
Lord, who has promised to be with them to the end of the age. (cf. Mt. 28:20).�10 - Pope
John Paul II
It is a sheer lie that the peoples of Asia need Jesus and his gospel. We know how
Christian missionaries exploit the ignorance, illiteracy and poverty of the poor tribals and
convert them to Christianity by the dint of force, fraud and enticement. The illiterate and
half-educated people do not know the horrible contents of Holy Bible. Hence I felt the
necessity of writing this book to let the people know the other side (nay-darker side) of
the picture.
The present book of mine is an appropriate answer to the Pope�s clarion call for
conversion. If conversion takes place only on the basis of freedom of conscience, I am
more than sanguine this book of mine will inspire the followers of the Pope to embrace
Vedic religion. The main purpose of writing this book is to present before the people of
the world nothing but truth.
(vi) Misuse of Catholic schools to convert the Asians to Christianity
The Pope John Paul II exhorted the bishops and priests to use (nay, misuse) Catholic
schools and universities for evangelization. He says :
�Catholic schools should continue to be places where the faith can be freely proposed
and received. In the same way, Catholic universities, in addition to pursuing the
academic excellence for which they are already well-known, must retain a clear Christian
identity in order to be a Christian leaven in Asian societies.�11 - Pope John Paul II
It will be sheer injustice, rather betrayal, to the innocent youngsters in schools and
colleges, if they are misinformed or ill-informed about religion. It is the fundamental
right of each student to acquire knowledge about any subject from whatever sources it
comes. On this plea, I appeal to the Christian missionaries and the ruling politicians of
Asia to present this book to all the students of all the schools and colleges of Asia in order
to enable them to know where the truth lies. Without comparative and contrastive study,
one cannot distinguish between truth and untruth. This is the aim of my writing this book
to enable the readers to discriminate and distinguish between truth and untruth.
(vii) The Church will be restless till whole of Asia is Christianised
The Pope John Paul�s �Ecclesia in Asia� makes mention of firm determination of the
Synod fathers to convert the whole of Asia to Christianity :
�Indeed they (Synod fathers) expressed the conviction that �the heart of the Church in
Asia will be restless until the whole of Asia finds its rest in the peace of Christ, the Risen
Lord.��12 - Pope John Paul II
It is an awful challenge of the Church to the devotees of Vedic religion, the Hindus,
whom I expect that they should be restless till all the followers of the Church are
enlightened through comparative knowledge of both the religions contained in this book,
in order to judge impartially which is the superior religion and where the truth lies.
(viii) Pope : Jesus is not a Western, but an Asian.
The Pope along with the Synod fathers feel a deep sense of anguish and astonishment that
most of the Asians regard Jesus as a Western rather than an Asian. He means to say that
the Asian people ought to own and accept Jesus as their only Saviour on the plea that he
was born on Asian soil. He says :
�In the opinion of the Synod fathers, it is paradoxical that most Asians tend to regard
Jesus - born on Asian soil - as a Western rather than an Asian figure.�13 - Pope John
Paul II
The afore-mentioned Papal words made me brood over the point that it was but natural
that when Jesus was born on Asian soil, he must have inherited, owned and adopted the
most ancient religion of Asia i.e. Vedic religion. Here the question arises as to why he
turned away from the oldest and the truest religion, whether he found flaws in it, or he
was not taught its sublime philosophy. Had he been taught the lofty lessons of sublime
significance from Holy Vedas, he would not have founded new religion. These thoughts
stirred my pen to present to the people of the world a contrastive and comparative
research of the new religion founded by Jesus and the most ancient religion of the world
i.e. Vedic religion. The truth-seekers who respond to the call of conscience, will feel
enlightened to peruse the comparative study of the two religions.
(ix) Pope�s emphasis on evangelization through social communication
The Pope says :
�I echo the Synod Fathers� commendation of Radio Veritas Asia, the only continent-
wide radio station for the Church in Asia, for its almost thirty years of evangelization
through broadcasting�� I take up the recommendations of the Synod Fathers on the
point of evangelization through social communication.�14 - Pope John Paul II
The Hindu politicians of Bharat should learn a lesson from the above passage and utilise
all channels of T.V. and all Radio Stations at all times to preach and propagate the
sublime and superior philosophy of Vedic religion not only among the people of
Hindusthan, but also the whole world.
(x) Pope�s Invocation to St. Mary to help converting all the peoples of Asia
The Pope John Paul II invokes the Virgin Mother of Christ, Holy Mary as under :
�O Holy Mary, Daughter of the Most High God, Virgin Mother of the Saviour and
Mother of us all, look tenderly upon the Church of your Son planted on Asian soil��
Protect the Church from all the powers that threaten her Help her to be a true image of the
Most Holy Trinity. Pray that through the Church�s love and service, all the peoples of
Asia may come to know your Son Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the world, and so
taste the joy of life in all its fullness.�15 - Pope John Paul II
Thus, throughout the document, �Ecclesia in Asia�, the Pope stresses and emphasises
on converting all the peoples of Asia to Christianity. It is a serious challenge to all the
citizens of Asia in general, and the Hindus of Aryavarta in particular. In order to meet
this challenge effectively, I have written this book, which will surely serve as an eye-
opener to all.
3. POLICY OF APPEASEMENT TOWARDS CHRISTIAN
MISSIONARIES
But for the sinister and suicidal policy of appeasement towards Christian missionaries
adopted by the pseudo-secular ruling politicians of Hindusthan, the Christian
proselytisers could not have converted millions of innocent illiterate poor Hindus to
Christianity and succeeded in establishing Christendom in three states of North-East :
Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya. The ruling politicians of Hindusthan not only
bluntly refused to impose a ban on the conversion of Hindus to Christianity and Islam,
but also they provided the minorities with constitutional guarantee to propagate their
religion.
The Christian missionaries are not allowed entry in Egypt, Afghanistan and the Middle-
East Arab countries. In several African countries, not only the missionaries are banned,
but even the churches are demolished and the converts, persuaded to return to their
ancestral faith. Will the pseudo-secular Hindu politicians awake and act only when all
the provinces of Hindusthan follow the suit of Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya,
reducing Hindus to minority ?
In 1954, the government of Madhya Pradesh under Resolution No. 318-716-V-Con.,

dated 14th April, 1954, appointed an enquiry committee under the chairmanship of Dr.
M. Bhawani Shankar Niyogi, ex-chairman, Public Service Commission, Madhya
Pradesh, and a retired Chief Justice, High Court of Judicature at Nagpur, to have a
thorough enquiry into the Christian missionary activities. In 1956, Dr. Niyogi submitted
his report and recommended very strong measures including constitutional amendment,
so as to seal the loopholes in the secular system, imposition of a ban on proselytisation
and inflow of foreign funds and banishing of all anti-national Christian missionaries from
the sacred soil of Hindusthan. But alas! The Union Government did not pay heed to the
valuable recommendations made by Justice Dr. M.B. Niyogi and continued its sinister
suicidal policy of appeasement towards the religious minorities with the result that today
Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya are Christian majority states and the newly-
converted Christians, who were once Hindus, being instigated by the Church, have posed
a serious threat to the integrity and security of Hindusthan by resorting to secessionism.
Shri Omprakash Tyagi presented a �Freedom of Religion Bill� in Parliament. It

recommended that there should be no conversion from one religion to another. There was
nothing objectionable in the bill which treated all religions alike. It did no injustice to
any religion. But alas ! Our pseudo-secular government succumbed, to the pressure of
the Church and the Islamic fundamentalists, and the most needed piece of legislation was
thwarted.
This book, which is the result of my minute elaborate research, will surely awaken the
slumbering Hindus of Hindusthan to raise voice against the denationalising campaign of
Christian missionaries and compel the ruling Hindu politicians to impose ban on the
proselytizing activities of the Christian missionaries.
4. RIGHT OF RELIGIOUS PROPAGATION GRANTED BY INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
The Christian missionaries, native as well as foreigners, did not participate in the freedom
struggle, hence they had guilty conscience. Almost all of them made preparations to
leave Bharat and return to England after independece. But in 1950, when the architects
of our Constitution made an announcement of inclusion of the fundamental right in the
new Constitution to �freely profess, practise and propagate� religion, the Christian
missionaries welcomed the Constitution and gave up the idea of returning to England.
They succeeded in influencing the makers of our Constitution to give them fundamental
right to propagate their religion with complete freedom which was not allowed even
during the British rule. Miss M.E. Gibbs, in her �History of the Anglican Church in
India�, admits :
�Christian influence secured the inclusion, among the fundamental rights in the new
Constitution, of the right to �freely profess, practise and propagate� religion. This was
a remarkable concession.�16 - M.E. Gibbs
The Christian missionaries misused the religious liberty accorded to them by our
Constitution. They accelerated the speed of mass conversion of poor illiterate Hindus to
Christianity. They construed the words of the Constitution �to propagate religion
freely� as an unrestricted license to convert Hindus to Christianity freely without any
hindrance. They began to claim that it was their fundamental right guaranteed by the
Constitution of India to propagate their religion freely among the Hindu tribals and to
convert them to Christianity. They threatened that if anybody interfered in their
fundamental right, he would be violating the Constitution of India. Thus, they openly
resorted to abuse of the religious liberty accorded to them by our Constitution. Justice
Dr. M.B. Niyogi describes the situation in his report as under
�The various ways which we have already indicated are nothing short of abuse of �the
religious liberty� accorded by the Constitution of India.�17 -Dr. M.B. Niyogi
Dr. Niyogi was not an ordinary man. He was chairman, Public Service Commission,
Madhya Pradesh, and also Chief Justice, High Court of Judicature at Nagpur. He
submitted the afore-mentioned report containing strong recommendations for amendment
of the Constitution as early as 1956, i.e. during the regime of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
But neither Nehru, nor his successors cared to implement the said recommendations.
Forty four years have elapsed, but the Constitution is still not amended in accordance
with the recommendation of Dr. Niyogi. It indicates categorically that the attitude of our
ruling politicians was anti-Hindu.
The Christian missionaries not merely claimed that the �right to propagate one�s
religion� as guaranteed in the Constitution, signified the �right to convert�, but also
they knocked the doors of High Courts and even Supreme Court to see that their �right
to convert� is upheld at all costs. When the Madhya Pradesh and Orissa governments
enacted the �Freedom of Religion Act� to control proselytisation of poor illiterate
Hindus to Christianity, the Christian missionaries challenged them in the High Courts.
When they lost the case, they appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also
upheld both the Acts as Constitutional and rejected the argument of the Christian
missionaries that the �right to propagate one�s religion� guaranteed in the
Constitution implied the �right to convert�.
In addition to the governments of Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, the Arunachal Pradesh
Government also passed the Freedom of Religion Act in 1978. In spite of all these efforts
and also the fact that the right of conversion is not a fundamental right granted under
the Constitution, as decided by the Supreme Court, conversions of the poor innocent
Hindus to Christianity and Islam have not stopped, because the proselytisers are directly
and indirectly supported by the ruling politicians, who have got their own axe to grind,
i.e. to capture political power by the dint of mass votes of religious minorities.
I am more than sanguine that this book of mine will expose not only the claims of
Christian missionaries regarding the so called supremacy of their religion, but also the
pseudo-secular politicians, who appease and encourage the secessionist proselytisers to
propagate their religion, which in comparison to Vedic religion, is too inferior to be
accepted. This is the aim and object of writing the book.
5. VILE AND VICIOUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST HINDUS AND

HINDUISM
Christian missionaries and Islamic fundamentalists condemn a Hindu as kafir, infidel,

heretic, heathen, pagan, atheist, irreligious and damned.
Christian missionaries do not consider non-Christians as human beings. They claim that
only those who are Christians deserve to be called humans, while others are animals.
They support their claim by quoting two dictionaries : �World Book Dictionary�, in
which �Christian� is defined as �human, not animal�, and �The Webster�s Third
New International Dictionary�, in which one of the meanings of a �Christian� is
�human being as distinguished from a lower animal�.
Christian missionaries assault on Hindus, Hindu culture, Hindu ethos and Hindu
scriptures. Degradation of Hindus, desecration of Hindu gods, and denigration of Hindu
scriptures by Christian missionaries boil the blood of Hindus. Church calls us as
�Children of Satan�. They say our worship is �pagan worship�. They often preach,
�Hindus are pagans, they will go to Hell�. The Southern Baptists have made up their
minds to convert all Hindus, whom they call �people in the dark and hell.� �The
Hindus, who are groping in the dark, need the light which can be bestowed only by
Christ�, they claim.
Thus Christian missionaries not only subvert Hindu ethos and Hindu culture within
Hindu homeland, but also paint Hindus and Hinduism in dark colours in the media and
academia.
The afore-mentioned vile and vituperative epithets ascribed to Hindus and the bogus
claim of Christian missionaries that only Christ can enlighten the Hindus who are groping
in the dark, have prompted me to write this book to let the world know where the light is.
I am more than sanguine the impartial truth-seekers, after perusing this comparative and
contrastive study of Vedas and Bible, will be able to judge where the light is, and where
the darkness remains.
Swami Vivekananda�s blood boiled when he witnessed Christian missionaries

indulging in vile vilification and vituperation against Hinduism. He vehemently exposed
the cunning Christian proselytisers and strongly protested against their malicious
propaganda. Addressing a Christian meeting at Detroit, Swami Vivekananda said:
�You train and educate and clothe and pay men to do what ? To come over to my
country to curse and abuse all my fore-fathers, my religion and everything�� They
walk near a temple and say, �you idolaters, you will go to hell�. But they dare not do
that to the Mohammedans of India, the sword would be out.... And whenever your
ministers criticise us, let them remember this : If all India stands up and takes all the
mud that is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean and throws it up against the Western
countries, it will not be doing an infinitesimal part of that which you are doing to
us.�18 - Swami Vivekananda
It is a matter of immense anguish, agony and amazement that untruth suppresses the
truth. This book of mine aims at acquainting the ignorant men with truth so that they
may not only shun untruth but also expose those who preach and propagate untruth.
6. DECEITFUL METHODS OF CONVERSION
The Christian missionaries have been adopting all kinds of methods - force, fraud,
frightening, persuasion, temptation, vilification, vituperation, tortures, torments and even
blood-curdling atrocities. Terror and tyranny, compulsion and coercion, barbarity and
brutality backed by Salvation Army were the only methods adopted by the Portuguese
Roman Catholic proselytisers in Goa.
Dr. P. Thomas records :
�It was the boast of the Hooghly Portuguese, that they made more Christians in a year
by forcible conversions, of course, than all the missionaries in the East in ten.�19 - Dr. P.
Thomas
Gandhiji was fully aware of the deceitful methods adopted by the Christian missionaries
in famine areas. He narrates his experience in his �Harijan� very candidly :
�Only the other day .a missionary descended on a famine area with money in his pocket,
distributed it among the famine-stricken, converted them to his fold, took charge of their
temple and demolished it. This is outrageous. The temple could not belong to the
converted Hindus, and it could not belong to the Christian missionary. But this friend
goes and gets it demolished at the hands of the very men who, only a little while ago,
believed that God was there.�20 - M.K. Gandhi
According to Justice Niyogi�s report, the missionaries in Madhya Pradesh gave small
loans on interest to the poor Hindu tribals. They knew that their victims were too poor to
pay back the loans. Hence, they exploited their wretched plight and offered to waive off
their loan, if they embraced Christianity. Those who neither repaid the loan, nor
embraced Christianity were persecuted. Consequently, the poor innocent Hindu tribals
had no other alternative except to accept Christianity willy-nilly.
Justice Niyogi further narrates in his report
�Shri Chhiddi, cultivator (Mandla, No. 7), who used to receive two bottles of kerosene
oil and Rs. 13 per month to learn the tenets of Christian religion and induce others to do
so, was asked not to greet others with the words, �Ram Ram�, but use the words, �Jai
Yeshu�. In the letter published by Dr Elwin in �Hindustan Times� dated 14th June,
1944, there occurs the mention of the fact that those who came under the influence of the
missionaries began to greet with words �Jai Yeshu� instead of �Jai Rama.��21 - Dr.
M.B. Niyogi
The basic motive of the Christian missionaries in running schools and hospitals is
proselytisation or creating congenial atmosphere for conversion. It is not selfless
philanthropy. Their ultimate objective is to de-Hinduise and disintegrate Hindusthan.
Gandhiji often quoted General Booth of the Salvation Army writing to his son :
�The social work is the bait, but it is salvation that is the hook that lands the fish.� -
General Booth
7. DENATIONALISING AND SUBVERSIVE IMPACT OF

CONVERSION
Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, the political prophet of Akhand Hindusthan (United India),
said candidly
�Change of religion is change of nationality.� - Veer Savarkar
Conversion of a Hindu to Christianity is not merely a change in his mode of worship. It

is a change in his loyalty to his nation. It is a change in his mentality and attitude to his
ancestors and his national heroes. His loyalty to Christianity becomes his first and
foremost duty. His loyalty to nation becomes subservient to his loyally to Christianity.
His whole personality undergoes a sea-change. His name, dress, language, script,
customs, conventions, rites, rituals, food, feasts, festivals, culture and civilization change
with his change of religion. He drifts away from the mainstream of nationalism. He no
more shares the joy and sorrow of the country with the rest of his countrymen. With
change of religion, his concept of history changes. He begins to despise his national
heroes and admire and adore the foreign invaders belonging to his new religion.
Gandhiji, while addressing Indian Christians- said unambiguously :
�As I wander about throughout the length and breadth of India, I see many Christian
Indians ashamed of their birth, certainly of their ancestral religion, and of their ancestral
dress. The aping of Europeans by Anglo-Indians is bad enough, but the aping of them by
the Indian converts is a violence done to their country and, shall I say, even to their new
religion. Is it not truly deplorable that many Christian Indians discard their own mother-
tongue, bring up their children only to speak in English ? Do they not thereby completely
cut themselves adrift from the nation in whose midst they have to live ?�22 - M.K.
Gandhi
The Christian missionaries, by the dint of proselytisation, denationalise our countrymen

for the disintegration of the country. They create in the minds of the converts
psychological affinity with the western countries, western people and western culture and
civilization. They wean them away from the national mainstream. They sow the seeds of
secessionism in their minds. Consequently, the converts begin to act hand-in-clove with
proselytisers to disintegrate the country. The open rebellion in the Naga Hills was
engineered by the Christian missionaries.
Dr. Niyogi states in his report :
�As conversion muddles the convert�s sense Of unity and solidarity with his society,
there is a danger of his loyalty to his country and state being undermined.�23 - Dr. M.B.
Niyogi
Charles Dickens, the most popular and the greatest of English novelists, opines
�Missionaries are perfect nuisances and leave every place worse than they found it.�24
- Charles Dickens
The converts of Nagaland who were known previously as Hindus of Hindusthan, were
given the appellation, �Christian tribals� of foreign independent state by the anti-
national Christian missionaries. They were taught to refer Hindusthan as a foreign
country. Even today when a Christian Naga comes to Shillong, he says, �I have come
to India�, as if India is a foreign country for him, and he is a non-Indian. He considers
himself as a citizen of foreign independent sovereign state of Nagaland ! Is it not a
deliberate denationalising attempt to cut off illiterate, ignorant, poverty-ridden Hindu
tribals of the north-east from the national ethos ? Is it not an anti-national enterprise
engineered in the name of religion and God ? The same is the case in Meghalaya and
Mizoram. The three states of Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland having Christian
majority are actually Christian states for all practical purposes. Hindus are reduced to a
negligible minority in these states. The population of Hindus, according to the census of
1991, is 10.12 per cent in Nagaland, 14.67 per cent in Meghalaya and 5.05 per cent in
Mizoram. Hindus, being in minority, are subjected to discriminatory treatment. This is
the blood-curdling horrendous consequence of conversions made by anti-national
Christian missionaries. The unity and integrity of Bharat, our beloved country, which is
already truncated, is endangered and the danger of separate Christian states still looms
large due to machinations of the secessionist missionaries.
Dr. M.B. Niyogi states :
�Evangelization in India appears to be apart Of uniform world policy to revive

Christendom for re-establishing western supremacy and is not prompted by spiritual
motives. The objective is apparently to create Christian majority pockets with a view to
disrupt the solidarity of the non-Christian societies, and the mass conversion of a
considerable section of Adivasis with this ulterior motive is fraught with danger to the
security of the State.�25 - Dr. M.B. Niyogi
Still it is not too late to mend. If we, the Hindus of Hindusthan, did not awake, arise and
act in time, we, would have to say what an African nationalist said :
�When they (Christian missionaries) came, we had the land and they had the Bible, and
today we have the Bible and they have our land.� - An African Nationalist
Gandhiji, too, came to the following candid conclusion :
�If I had power and could legislate, I should certainly stop all proselytizing. For Hindu
households, the advent of a missionary has meant the disruption of the family, coming in
the wake of change of dress, manners, language, food and drink.�26 - M.K. Gandhi
Swami Vivekananda said:

�Every man going out of the Hindu pale is not only a man less, but an enemy more.�27
-Swami Vivekananda
Guruji M.S. Golwalkar stated unambiguously:
�Conversion of Hindus into other religions is dangerous to the security of the nation and
the country. It is therefore necessary to put a stop to it. It is by exploitation of poverty,
illiteracy and ignorance, offering of inducement and by deceptive tactics that people are
converted. It is but right that this unjust activity is prohibited. It is a duty we have to
discharge towards protecting our brethren in ignorance and poverty.�28 - Guruji M.S.
Golwalkar
The purpose of my writing this book is to inspire the Hindus of Hindusthan to awake,
arise and compel the ruling politicians to impose ban on all proselytizing activities by the
dint of legislation.
8. THE GOAN INQUISITION

The Goan Inquisition, called �Holy Inquisition of Goa� under Aleixo Dias Falcao
committed inhuman atrocities on the Hindus of Goa, Daman, Diu and Vasai etc. for a
period of about 250 years from 1560 to 1812. Thousands of innocent Hindus were killed
and burnt. Thousands of Hindu women were raped and then burnt on stake. Two
thousand virgins were raped and then burnt in a span of three days ! All it was done in the
name of religion.
Charles Duryea Smith writes :
�The Christians proceeded to spread some of history�s most non-violent teachings by

force and violence. Thus there were religious wars of unprecedented violence, history-
bending crusades of blood-shed, and the crushing cruelty of the Inquisition, all in the
name of the Carpenter from Nazareth.�29 - Charles Duryea Smith
J.C. Barreto Miranda, a Goanese historian, wrote of the Inquisitors sent by the Pope :
�Every word of theirs was a sentence of death and at their slightest nod were moved to
terror the vast populations spread over the Asiatic regions, whose lives fluctuated in their
hands, and who, on the most frivolous pretext could be clapped for all time in the deepest
dungeon or strangled or offered as food for the flames of the pyre.�30 - J.C. Barreto
Miranda
Have I no reason to x-ray the religion which committed unprecedented atrocities ?
9. HUMAN STATE WITH HUMANITY AS NATIONALITY
Hindus believe in universal brother-hood. They believe in the welfare of not only human
beings of the whole Earth, but also the birds and beasts as illustrated by the following
couplet:
savao- Bavantau sauiKana: savao- santau

inaramayaa: |
savao- BadàiNa paSyantau, maa
kxiScata\du:Ka BaagBavaota\ ||
May all be happy,
May all be healthy,
May all be blessed,
May none suffer from,
grief and sorrow !
According to Vedic philosophy, all the people of the earth belong to one family :
vasauQaOva kuxTuumbakxma\
The whole world is one family.
Yajur Veda admonishes the same thing
ya~a ivaSvaM Bavatyaokx naIDma\ |

à yajauvao-d 32ó8
The whole universe is one family.
- Yajur Veda 32/8
The Head of the family is the Creator of the cosmos, He is the kind Father of all human
beings of the universe, who are brothers to one another. The golden principle of
brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God is the essence of the Vedic teachings
Ea`RNvantau ivaSvao AmaRtasya pau~aa: |

All men are sweet sons of Supreme Being.
We should, therefore, sublimate ourselves above the manmade artificial division of the
world into various states based on race or religion. The whole globe is a Human State.
The earth is the real motherland of all human beings, and humanity is the
nationality of all men, whether black or brown, Hindu or Muslim, Christian or Jew.
Thus, a Human government, with universal laws based on the principle of equality,
fraternity and liberty is the only panacea of all ills and ailments of the world.
10. YOU CANNOT CLAP WITH ONE HAND
The golden aim of establishing a �Human State with Humanity as Nationality� can be
achieved only when all sections of people, irrespective of caste, colour, creed, community
and country, willingly volunteer to sublimate themselves above the man-made artificial
division of the world on the basis of race or religion. You cannot clap with one hand.
11. I AM PROUD OF MY VEDIC RELIGION
I am proud of my Vedic Religion, which has taught me to treat all human beings of the
world as my beloved brothers and sisters. Their happiness is my happiness. Their
suffering is my suffering. This is my firm faith that in my country Aryavarta, which is
called Bharatvarsha, Bharat and Hindusthan, all the citizens whether they follow
Vedas or Quran or Bible or Guru Granth Sahib, are an integral part of our composite
society entitled to equal rights, equal opportunities and equal privileges. In the words of
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, they are �flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood�.
Their progress is my progress. Their downfall is my downfall. But at the same time I
earnestly desire that no one should assault my culture, my ethos and my civilization, and
that no one should proselytise my brothers and sisters with political motive to disintegrate
my country. He who does so, is my enemy and the enemy of my country.
12. REGENERATION OF MANKIND AND REJUVENATION OF SOCIETY
By the dint of this book, I Want to convey my golden message of regeneration of

mankind and rejuvenation of the society which may be free from fanaticism and
fundamentalism, secessionism and separatism, bigotry and bloodshed - the society where
truth, justice, equality, liberty, fraternity, sympathy and fellow-feeling may reign
supreme, where no politician appeases a particular group at the cost of others, where no
proselytiser converts the poor gullible people by fraud, force or temptation with political
motive, where no bigot instigates his followers to cut the throat of his fellow-beings on
the mere pretext of different mode of worship.
13. MY INTENTION NOT TO HURT BUT ENLIGHTEN
My intention of writing this book is to enlighten the truth-seekers, not to hurt the
sentiments of any person or any community. However, if any person feels hurt, I request
him to excuse me on the plea that I have not written a single line of my own against
Christ, Christianity and Holy Bible. I have simply repeated verbatim what is already
narrated in Holy Bible. I have also not inserted any unpleasant opinion of any Hindu
writer against Christ and Christianity, I have included opinions, both positive as well as
negative, of some celebrated Western scholars by quoting the page numbers of their
original books in the foot-notes. In some cases the page numbers of their books reprinted
verbatim by responsible Indian publishers are given. I have also picked up some of their
quotations from the books written by Indian authors. Since no body has so far challenged
the authenticity of these quotations, I consider them as genuine.

1 VEDIC MONOTHEISM AND BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF
TRINITY
1. VEDIC MONOTHEISM
Vedic philosophy revolves round singularity of God. There is no mention of plurality of

God in Vedas. Vedic religion is pure unadulterated Monotheism. According to Hoy
Vedas, God is one, not many :
sa eYa ekx ekxvaRdokx eva |

à Aqava-vaod 13ó4ó20
Verily He is one
Single, indivisible, supreme reality. - Atharva Veda 13/4/20
Oneness of God is the axis round which the philosophy of Vedas revolves. None but God
alone reigns and rules over the whole universe. True kingship belongs to Creator of the
cosmos. He alone is the Supreme Sovereign of the universe :
ekxao ivaEvasya Bauvanasya rajaa |

à Pgvaod 6ó36ó4
He is the sole sovereign
Of the universe. - Rig Veda 6/36/4
There is none who equals him. He is One, without parallel :

ya ekxao Aista dMsanaa maha^M {gaào AiBa
va`taO: |
à Pgvaod 8ó1ó27
He is one, unparalleled
Through His wondrous, mighty
And formidable laws and deeds.
- Rig Veda 8/1/27
Vedic philosophy does not approve of polytheism. There are no gods except one God,
who is the Lord of lords. Only He is worthy to be worshipped and fit to be adored :
ekx eva namasyaao#ivaXvaIDyaa: |

There is only One
Who ought to be adored
By the people. - Atharva Veda 2/2/1
Holy Vedas declare that God alone is the unchallenged Lord of the whole creation. All
sorts of eulogy, adoration and prayer befit Him only. Man does not deserve to be
eulogised and deified by man. The deification of man by man is not permitted by Vedic
religion. Therefore, it behoves man to worship the Great Lord of the cosmos only :
maa icadnyaiW SaMsata saKayaao maa

irYaNyata |
[ndìmatstaaotaa vaRYaNaM sacaa sautao
mauhur]@qaa ca SaMsata ||
à saamavaod 242
O friends,
Adore none else but Providence
Who is supreme bestower of bliss
And thus thou wilt not suffer;
Eulogise Him in congregation
And sing songs of His glory repeatedly - Sam Veda 242
God is singular, but his names are plural. All the epithets mentioned in Holy Vedas are
ascribed to one God, who is Creator of the cosmos. Shiva, Shankara, Brahma, Vishnu,
Mahesh, Ganesh, Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, Yama etc. are the epithets of one Supreme
Being, who is formless, featureless, birthless and bodiless. He is unborn, eternal,
immortal and everlasting. He has no agents, no intermediaries, no representatives, no
incarnations and no partners. He has neither father, nor mother. He has neither wife, nor
sons, nor daughters. He has no attachment. But He is Benevolent Father of all his
children, and imparts equal love impartially to all his creatures. He is kind to all, cruel to,
none. His first name is Om. But He is evoked and adored by several other names which
are written in Vedas
[nd`M ima~aM var]Namaignamaahurqaao

idvya: sa saupaNaao- gar]tmaana\ |
ekMx saiWpaà bahuQaa vadntyaigna yamaM
maatairEvaanamaahu: ||
à Pgvaod 1ó164ó46
He is One Brahma
The Creator of the cosmos
Who pervades and protects
And enlightens aft beings
He is One Supreme Entity
Whom sages call by various names
Such as Indra, the glorious
Mitra, the benign friend
Varuna, the greatest, the noblest
Agni, the resplendent, the bright
Yama, the dispenser of justice
Matarishwa, the almighty. - Rig Veda 1/164/46
He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. He is All-powerful and All-pervasive.

He pervades, permeates and penetrates all things and all hearts
sa#Aaota: paàotaEca ivaBaU: pa`jaasau |

à yajauva-od 32ó8
He, the all-pervasive
Pervades all beings
Within and without. - Yajur Veda 32/8
He reigns magnificently and munificently over the whole universe. He is unparalleled

and unequalled emperor of the cosmos created by Him. He is the One and the sole
Sovereign of all creation, animate and inanimate. He is the unchallenged Master of. the
whole cosmos :
dovaao dovaanaamaisa |
à Pgvaod 1ó94ó13
Thou art Lord of lords.
- Rig Veda 1/94/13
God does not have face, form, features, signs and symbols. He has no body. He is
formless, featureless and bodiless. He is birthless and deathless. When He does not take
birth, He cannot assume body. He cannot be seen, He can be felt. Hence no picture or
portrait, idol or statue of God can be made.
na tasya paìtamaa#Aista |
à yajauva-od 32ó3
God has no image.
- Yajur Veda 32/3
The Western scholars, who drank deep from Vedic spring, have never lagged behind in
admiring and appreciating the oneness of God as revealed in Vedas, from the core of their
hearts. Count Bjornstjerne, the Norway�s national poet, who was awarded the Nobel
Prize for literature in 1903, observes :
�These truly sublime ideas cannot fail to convince us that the Vedas recognise only one
God, who is Almighty, Infinite, Eternal, Self-existent, the Light and Lord of the
Universe.�
- Count Bjornstjerne
Colebrook, the British scholar, states :
�The ancient Hindu religion as found in the Hindu scriptures (the Vedas) recognises but
one God.�
- Colebrook
Charles Coleman acknowledges in his book �Theophany of the Hindus�, the

oneness of God as revealed in Holy Vedas as under :
�The Almighty, Infinite, Eternal, Incomprehensible, Self-existent Being, He who sees

everything though never seen is Brahm, the one unknown, True Being, the Creator, the
Preserver and Destroyer of the Universe. Under such and innumerable other definitions
is the Deity acknowledged in the Vedas.�
- Charles Coleman
Livi, the famous Arabic poet, honours and admires the blessed land of Hindusthan and
Holy Vedas as under :
�Blessed land of Hind (Hindusthan), thou art worthy of reverence, for in thee has God
revealed true knowledge of Himself. What a pure light do these four revealed books
afford to our mind�s eyes like the charming and cool lustre of the dawn ! These four
God revealed upon His prophets (Rishis) in Hind. Those treasuries are the Sama and
Yajur which God has preached. O my brothers, revere these, for they all tell us the good
news of salvation. The next two of these four, the Rig and the Atharva, teach us lessons
of universal brotherhood. These two (Vedas) are the beacons that warn us to turn
towards that goal (universal brotherhood).�
- Livi
Dara Shakoh, the son of king Shah Jehan and elder brother of Aurangzeb, comes to the
conclusion in Persian language as under :
�After gradual research, I have come to the conclusion that long before all heavenly
books like the Quran, the Old Testament and the New Testament etc., God had revealed
to the Hindus through the Rishis of Yore, of whom BRAHAM was the chief, His four
books of knowledge, the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the, Samveda, and the AtharvaVeda.�
- Dara Shakoh
2. BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF TRINITY
(i) (a) Doctrine of �three in one� and �three equal to one�
Unlike Vedic religion, which is pure Monotheism, Holy Bible preaches the doctrine of
Trinity, i.e. the existence of three Gods : God, the Father, God, the Son (Christ) and God,
the Holy Ghost (Spirit). The Christians believe that each God is equal in power and
glory, and that these three are one. Thus Christianity revolves round the theory of
�three in one� and �three equal to one�. And they still call it �monotheism� !
They claim that their doctrine of Trinity or Trinitarianism amounts to monotheism.
(b) Three Entities are one
The New Testament says
1. �7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost; and these three are one.�
- 1 John, 5/7
The above text appears on page 1279 of the authorised (King James) version of the Holy
Bible printed by the Gideons International in U.S.A. in 1979. But, later on it is omitted
from the Bible. In this connection W.P. Ball and G.W. Foote write in their �The Bible
Handbook� as under :
�This verse, being demonstrated a forgery, is omitted from the Revised Version. It is the
only text distinctly asserting the doctrine of the Trinity, which is really a Christian
invention or development of later date than the Bible.�31
- W.P. Ball and G.W. Foote
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of U.S.A. who was the founding father of
secularism In government in the modern West, exclaimed :
�The incomprehensible jargon of Trinitarian arithmetic, that three are one and one is
three.�32
-Thomas Jefferson
James A. Haught states :
�In A.D. 385 at Trier. Germany, bishops put to death Priscillian and his followers for
doubting the Trinity and the Resurrection.�33
- James A. Haught
Leo Tolstoy, the renowned Russian writer and thinker, opines :
�One may utter words that have no sense, but one cannot believe what has no sense -
one cannot believe that God is, at the same time, both One and also Three��34
- Leo Tolstoy
(c) Convert and baptize all nations in the name of three entities
The New Testament instructs the Pope and all Christian missionaries to go and convert all
nations of the world by baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost. Here is the text :
2. �19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.�
- Matthew 28/19
It is on account of the above text that Christian missionaries bluntly refuse to stop
converting Hindus to their faith. They claim that it is God�s command to them that they
must convert and baptize all people of all nations of the world. When Shri Omprakash
Tyagi presented a �Freedom of Religion Bill� in Parliament, which recommended that
there should be no conversion from one religion to another, more than three lakh
Christians demonstrated in protest against the bill in Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai and
Delhi. They claimed that under Article 25(1) of the Indian Constitution it was their
fundamental right to convert non-Christians to Christianity. They knocked the doors of
High Courts and even Supreme Court to get their �right to convert� upheld judicially.
But the then Chief Justice, Shri A.N. Ray rejected their claim in his judgement. In spite
of the judgments of Supreme Court, the Christian missionaries, under direct and indirect
patronization of pseudo-secular Hindu politicians, continue to convert the poor, illiterate
and innocent tribal Hindus with political motive on the plea that, it is God�s command
to them that they must baptize and convert all persons of all nations on the earth.
(d) Eternal damnation for blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
The New Testament declares that the man who blasphemes against the Holy Ghost will
be damned eternally :
3. �29. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost bath never forgiveness,
but is in danger of eternal damnation.�
- Mark, 3/29
(e) God sent His only begotten Son
The New Testament states that God manifested His love to the people by sending His
only begotten Son to the world
4. �9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His
only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.�
- 1 John, 4/9
(f) Christ in God, God in Christ
The New Testament declares that Jesus Christ is in God, and God is in Jesus Christ.
5. �11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me;��

- John, 14/11
(g) God and Christ are one
The Holy Bible (the New Testament) confirms oneness of God and Christ in the
following verse :
6. �30. I and my Father are one.�

- John, 10/30
(h) God gave all powers to Christ
The Holy Bible (the New Testament) mentions that God gave all powers to Jesus Christ
not only on the earth, but also in heaven.
7. �18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth.�
- Matthew, 28118
8. �35. The Father loveth the Son, and bath given all things into his hand.�
- John, 3/35
(i) Christ was equal to God
The New Testament states that Christ was in the form of God and that He had full right to
be equal to God :
9. �Who (Christ), being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God;�
- Philippians, 2/6
(j) Foolishness of Biblical God !
The New Testament dubs God Almighty as foolish and weak, though His foolishness (?)
is wiser than men. Here is the verse :
10. �25. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.�
- 1 Corinthians, 1/25
It is nothing but blasphemy to call God Almighty, the Supreme Lord, as foolish and
weak !
(ii) Laelius Socinus rejected the Doctrine of Trinity
An Italian scholar Laelius Socinus (b. 1525-d.1582) emphatically rejected the doctrine of
Trinitarianism as irrational and unacceptable to reason. The theory of �three gods in
one� was not acceptable to him. He started preaching �monotheism�, the principle of
one God. Consequently, he was declared a heretic and expelled from the Church. Any
one who preached �monotheism� was a heretic, not a true Christian in the estimation
of the Church. In 1546, Laelius Socinus joined a Secret Society, which preached that the
doctrine of �three gods in one� (Trideism or Trinitarianism) was untenable and that
many tenets of the Roman Catholic Church were repugnant to reason. Consequently the
Secret Society was banned by the Church and its several members were massacred
because of their only fault that they did not believe in the cult of Trinity. Laelius Socinus
had to flee to a foreign place of safety. While in exile, he breathed his last at Zurich.
Even today when the Church condemns any person for his secular ideas, it brands him as
a �Socinian�.
(iii) Unitarians were burnt alive
In 1662, about two thousand priests were expelled by the Church under the Act of
Uniformity, because they had declined to accept the doctrine of Trinity and professed
�monotheism� which they called �Unitarianism�. They considered Christ as a mere
mortal and believed in one God. Consequently thousands of Unitarians were burnt at
stakes not only in England but also other countries. Ultimately in 1813, the Church,
under pressure of public opinion, agreed to accept �Unitarianism� as one of several
�isms� into which Christianity is divided and subdivided today.
(iv) Rev. William Adam embraced Vedic Religion
Rev. William Adam was assigned the duty of converting Raja Ram Mohan Roy to
Christianity. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a staunch monotheist. So instead of being
converted to Christianity, he influenced and impressed William Adam to give up his
belief in three Christian gods and embrace Vedic monotheism. Thus Rev. William Adam,
a Christian missionary, who had set out to convert Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Christian
trideism, ultimately became a Vedantist35. He was, therefore, expelled from the Church
and declared a heretic and a Socinian. His conversion to Vedic religion was reported in
the �Annual London Report of the Missionary Society� as under :
�We mention with deep regret that Mr. Adam had embraced opinions derogatory to the
honour of the Saviour, denying the proper divinity of �Our Lord Jesus Christ�,
inconsequence of which the connection between him and the Society has been
dissolved.�36
(v) Superiority of the Vedic Religion
Mr. W.D. Brown, the British philosopher, admits in his �Superiority of the Vedic
Religion� as under :
�Vedic religion recognises but one God. It is a thoroughly scientific religion, where
religion and science meet hand in hand Here theology is based on science and
philosophy.�
- W.D. brown
Mr. Count Bjornstjerne, the Norway�s national poet, who was awarded the Nobel
Prize for literature in 1903, observes :
�These truly sublime ideas cannto fail to convince us that the Vedas recognise only one
God.�
- Count Bjornstjerne
====================================
�Dharma is the repository of the nation�s soul. If Dharma is destroyed, the Nation
perishes. Any one who abandons Dharma, betrays the nation�� Since Dharma is
supreme, our ideal of the State has been Dharma Rajya�� What constitutes the good of
the people, Dharma alone can decide. Therefore a democratic government Jana Rajya
must also be rooted in Dharma i.e. a Dharma Rajya.
Since in the West injustice and atrocities were perpetrated, bitter conflicts and battles
were fought in the name of religion, all these were en bloc listed on the debit side of
Dharma also. We feel that in the name of Dharma also battles were fought. However
battles of religion and battles of Dharma are two different things. Religion means a creed
or a sect, it does not mean Dharma. Dharma is very wide concept. It is concerned with
all aspects of life. It sustains the society. Even further, it sustains the whole world. That
which sustains is Dharma.�
- Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya

2 CULT OF VIRGIN MARY AND VEDIC
UNIVERSAL LAW
1. CULT OF VIRGIN MARY
(i) Holy Ghost impregnated Virgin Mary
The New Testament states that Jesus Christ�s mother Mary was a virgin. She was
betrothed to Joseph. But before she lived with Joseph, she was impregnated by Holy
Ghost. Her spouse Joseph was thinking of renouncing her secretly. But one night,
God�s angel appeared before him in a dream saying, �Oh Joseph, the son of David !
do not hesitate to take your wife to your house, because she has conceived by Holy
Ghost.�
11. �18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise; when as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the
Holy Ghost.�
- Matthew 1/18
12. �20��behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying,
Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.�
- Matthew 1/20
Those who have implicit faith in Holy Book believe it undoubtedly, while those who are
rationalist with scientific bent of mind will not believe that a virgin, being impregnated
by Holy Ghost, gave birth to a child.
Charles Smith, the editor of �The Truth-Seeker�, opines about the doctrine of the
Virgin Birth as under :
�The doctrine of the Virgin Birth brands every natural mother as impure.�
- Charles Smith
Thomas Paine, the great thinker and one of the founders of the U.S.A., opines :
�The story, taking it as it is told, is blasphemously obscene. It gives an account of a

young woman engaged to be married, and while under this engagement she is, to speak
plain language, debauched by a ghost, under the impious pretence (Luke, chap. i;, ver.
35), that �the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee.� Notwithstanding which, Joseph afterward marries her, cohabits with
her as his wife, and in his turn rivals the ghost.�37
- Thomas Paine
Count Tolstoy, the most famous Russian writer and thinker, opines candidly :
�What can be more absurd than that the mother of God was both a mother and a
Virgin ?�38
- Count Tolstoy
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of America, predicted about tile above Biblical
passage as under :
�The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his
father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva
in the brain of Jupiter.�39
- Thomas Jefferson
Charles Smith, the editor of �The Truth-Seeker�, while referring to the afore-
mentioned prediction of Thomas Jefferson, states :
�That day has come�.40
- Charles Smith
(ii) Did Mary give birth to other children ?
Yes, the New Testament (Matthew 1/47) reveals that Mary gave birth to other children.
Hence she was not a virgin. She was wife of Joseph. Now the question arises : Was
Christ son of Joseph and Mary ? The Christians say that he was the Son of God, and that
he died to appease the wrath of God. Thomas Paine opines in this connection as under :
�The Bible and the Testament are impositions upon the world, that the fall of man, the
account of Jesus Christ being the Son of God, and of his dying to appease the wrath of
God, and of salvation by that strange means, are all fabulous inventions, dishonourable
to the wisdom and power of the Almighty.�41
- Thomas Paine
(iii) Did Christ accept Mary as his mother ?
The New Testament states that when Mary along with her other sons, came to see Jesus,
he did not receive her. He turned to his disciples and said, �Who is my mother? Who
are my brothers ?� Here is the text :
13. �47. Then one (disciple) said unto him (Christ), Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.�
- Matthew 1/47
14. �48. But he (Christ) answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother ? and who are my brethren ?�
- Matthew 1/48
Here some questions arise : When Mary was mother of Jesus Christ, why did she stand
out ? Why did she wait out till one of the disciples informed Jesus Christ that his mother
along with his brothers was standing out, desiring to speak to him ? Why did she not go
inside to meet her son ? Why did Jesus Christ not come out to receive her and his
brothers ? Why did he say to the disciples, �Who is my mother ?� He should have
come out immediately and touched the feet of his mother. Why did he not do so ? All this
indicates that he recognised neither his mother nor his brothers. Let the Christian
missionaries answer as to why Jesus Christ did not own and accept his holy mother and
his beloved brothers.
(iv) Does Christ want his disciples to hate their parents ?
In Luke 14/26 (the New Testament), Jesus Christ wants his disciples to hate their father,
mother, brothers, sisters, wife and children. He says :
15. �26. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple.�
- Luke, 14/26
There is also one positive verse in the New Testament, in which Jesus Christ admonished
his disciples to �honour thy father and thy mother� (Matthew 19/19). This precept
given by Jesus Christ can be applied to Jesus himself. A man of common sense will
surely question as to why Jesus Christ did not honour his mother, why he did not come
out to receive his mother respectfully and why he said, �Who is my mother ?� Did he
feel ashamed to call her as his mother, because she was impregnated not by her legitimate
husband Joseph but by Holy Ghost ? The Christians feel proud to say that Christ�s
mother, Virgin Mary, was impregnated by Holy Ghost; but Thomas Paine calls it
debauchery ! He opines :
�What is it the Testament teaches us ? - to believe that the Almighty committed
debauchery with a woman engaged to be married, and the belief of this debauchery
is called faith.�42
- Thomas Paine
2. VEDIC UNIVERSAL LAW
There is no mention of �a virgin being impregnated by Holy Ghost� anywhere in Holy

Vedas. Vedas do not believe in the existence of ghosts, holy or unholy. According to
Vedic religion it is unnatural. It is contrary to the basic law of nature, which is called
universal law. According to law of nature a female conceives only when sperm of a male
and ovum of a female are united in fallopian tube and grow in uterus.
Some gullible people, who lack power of reasoning may argue that it was an exceptional
divine case where natural law did not apply. Holy Vedas admonish such superstitious
gullible people that nature treats all equally and impartially. Nature�s law is
irrevocable. The administration of the universe is continuously regulated since millions
of years accurately and flawlessly on some basic principles and laws, which are called
natural laws or universal laws or eternal laws. The natural laws are too perfect to be
revoked and repealed. These are applied to all beings equally and impartially irrespective
of caste, colour and creed. What is true for all men and women or nature as a whole, is
true to an individual, whether high or low, divine or mundane. No one on the earth,
however great power he or she possesses, can break the universal law, which is
inexorable.

�No one whether he is Arya or non-Arya
Can break by means of his power
My potent eternal law.�
-Atharva Veda, 5/11/3
The following mantra of Rig Veda categorically illustrates that eternal laws (universal
laws) of Almighty are irrevocable and inexorable.

3 BIBLICAL GOD CREATES CONFLICT, VEDIC GOD

PRECEPTS PEACE
It is an admitted fact that God Almighty, the Creator of the cosmos, is one, not two. He is
the benign Father of all human beings of the earth irrespective of their caste, colour,
creed, community and country. If it is so, how can we describe Him as Biblical God or
Vedic God ? As a matter of fact, God is neither Biblical, nor Vedic, nor Quranic. God is
God only. He is above epithets. He is beyond comprehension. Yet He is described
differently in different scriptures. What is required that His main characteristics must
remain unchanged in all the holy books. When His main characteristics as described in
different scriptures contradict each other, it is the duty of scholar to point out where truth
lies. Biblical God here means God as described in Holy Bible. Similarly Vedic God
signifies God as described in Holy Vedas.
1. BIBLICAL GOD CREATES CONFLICT
(i) Biblical God : �I came not for peace, but a sword.�
In the New Testament, Biblical God declares that He came to the earth not for peace, but
to wield a sword :
16. �34. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth ; I came not to send
peace, but a sword.�
- Matthew, 10/34
(ii) Biblical God�s mission : to create rift in family
In the New Testament, Biblical God reveals His mission categorically. He says :
17. �For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.�
- Matthew, 10/35
2. VEDIC GOD PRECEPTS PEACE
Vedic God bestows peace and harmony on all the members of family. Vedas are
harbinger of love and light, peace and prosperity, sweetness and serenity. The first
learning centre of man is family. If there prevail peace and love, respect and reverence,
dignity and decency, affection and integrity in each family, the citizens will build a strong
nation. That is why God precepts in Atharva Veda lesson of love, harmony, sweetness
and unity in each family :
maa Baàtaa BaàtarM iWXanmaa

svasaarmauta svasaa |
samyajca: sava`taa BaUtvaa vaacaM vadta
Bad`yaa ||
Let no brother hate his brother,
Let no sister hate her sister,
Mayest thou speak and behave
With harmony and sweetness,
Mayest thou be unanimous
With one accord.
- Atharva Veda 3/30/3
How fine ideal of family concord is set in following mantra of Atharva Veda
Anauva`ta: ipatau: pau~aao maa~aa Bavatau

jaayaa patyao maQaumataIM vaacaM vadtau

May son follow
The footsteps of his father,
May he have unity of mind
With his mother
May wife talk to her husband
In gentle words, as sweet as honey.
- Atharva Veda 313012
Unlike Bible God, who Himself declares in Bible that He has come to create rift in
families, Vedic God declares in Atharva Veda that He has bound all men with common
bond, so all should sit together, eat together, drink together and pray together.

Let the share of your food be common,
I bind you together
With common bond;
Just as all spokes (rods) of a wheel
Are united at its hub
From all directions,
So should you remain united
To pray together to glorious God.
Vedic religion ordains men to remain united having common minds, common aims and
objects, and common goal.

- Rig Veda 10/19/12
Vedic God, unlike Biblical God, urges men to assemble on common platform to think
together, plan together and work together with one aim, one object, one purpose, one
mind, one intention, one determination, one mode, one goal and one destination.

4 BIBLICAL GOD IS WRATHFUL, VEDIC GOD IS
BENEVOLENT FRIEND
1. BIBLICAL GOD IS WRATHFUL
(i) Blood oozed and flowed upto level of horse bridles The New Testament states that
Biblical God�s angel threw his sickle into the earth with force, collected the vine of the
earth and threw it into the winepress of the wrath of God. Consequently the blood oozed
and flowed from the winepress upto the level of horse bridles throughout the space of a
thousand and six hundred furlongs. Here is the text :
18. �19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of
the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.�
- Revelation, 14/19
19. �20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the
winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs.� - Revelation, 14/20
2. VEDIC GOD IS BENEVOLENT FRIEND
Holy Vedas state that God is kind to all, cruel to none. He bestows bliss on all alike,
whether high or low, virtuous or sinner. He is the most gracious, the most merciful and
the most benign friend of all.
sa na [nd` iSava: saKaa |

à Pgvaod 8ó93ó3
He, the resplendent Lord

Is our benign and benevolent friend. - Rig Veda 8/93/3
�Mark me, then and then alone you are a Hindu, when the very name sends through you
a galvanic shock of strength. Then and then alone you are a Hindu, when every man who
bears the name, from any country, speaking our language or any other language, becomes
at once the nearest and the dearest to you. Then and then alone you are a Hindu, when
the distress of anyone bearing that name comes to your heart and makes you feel as if
your own son were in distress.�
- Swami Vivekananda
5 MERCY BY VEDIC GOD, MASSACRE

BY BIBLICAL GOD
1. MERCY BY VEDIC GOD
Pro. F. Max Muller states with firm conviction :
�The Vedas, I feel convinced, will occupy scholars for centuries to come, and we take
and maintain for ever, its position as the most ancient of books in the library of
mankind.�
- Prof. F. Max Muller
Holy Vedas state that Supreme Being is benevolent Father of all. All beings of the
universe irrespective of caste, colour and creed, enjoy the bliss of His unfathomable
mercy and grace. He bestows bliss and showers mercy on sinners even

According to Holy Vedas, Creator of the cosmos is benign Father of all creatures. Father
never harms his children. He may scold his children but never destroys them. God
Almighty, being beneficent Father of all His children, never hurts and harms them. He is
ocean of mercy which is showered on all equally and impartially. He pours His benign
bliss, bounty and benediction on all beings. It is His grace, greatness, grandeur and glory.

2. MASSACRE BY BIBLICAL GOD
(i) Biblical God massacred all first-born babies
At midnight God killed all the first-born babies, both human and animal, in the land of
Egypt.
20. �29. And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the
firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.�
- Exodus , 12/29
Colin Maine, the renowned Welsh writer (now settled in Australia), states fearlessly :
�If we examine the Bible-both Old and New Testaments-we find that the Bible god is
more of a sadistic monster than a god of love. If he were to appear on earth as a human
being, he would most likely be incarcerated in a mental hospital as a dangerous
psychopath.�43
- Colin Maine
James Anthony Foude opines :
�I will not, I must not believe that the all just, all merciful, all good (Christian) God can
be such a Being as I find Him there (in the Bible) described.�44
- James Anthony Foude

(ii) Biblical God killed the Jews by sending �fiery serpents�
21. �6. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people;
and much people of Israel died.�
- Numbers, 21/6
What was their offence ? They spoke against the Lord and against Moses.
(iii) Biblical God got the Jews swallowed alive by the earth
22. �32. And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them (the Jews) up, and
their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Ko�rah, and all their goods.�
- Numbers, 16/32
23. �33. They (the Jews), and all that appertained to them, went down alive into
the pit, and the earth closed upon them ; and they perished from among the
congregation.�
- Numbers, 16/33
What was their offence ? Because they gathered themselves and spoke against Moses and
Aaron.
(iv) Biblical God burnt alive 250 Jews
Biblical God burnt alive 250 Jews in fire because of their only fault that they offered
incense.
24. �35. And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred
and fifty men (of Israel) that offered incense.�
- Numbers, 16/35
(v) Biblical God threatens to kill children of Jews by wild beasts
25. �22. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways
shall be desolate.�
- Leviticus, 26/22
(vi) Biblical God killed 70,000 Jews by pestilence
26. �14. So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel; and them fell of Israel seventy
thousand men.�
- I Chronicles, 21/14
(vii) Biblical God killed 50,070 men for looking into His box
27. �19. And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the
ark (box) of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and
ten men ; and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the
people with a great slaughter.�
- I Samuel, 6/19
�In the service no distinction should be made between man and man. We have to serve
all, be he a Christian or a Muslim, or a human being of any other persuasion; for
calamities, distress and misfortunes make no such distinction but afflict all alike. And in
serving to relieve the sufferings of man, let it not be in a spirit of condescension or mere
compassion, but in the true spirit of our dharma of surrendering our all in the humble
service of Lord who abides in the hearts of all beings.�
- Gururji M.S. Golwalkar

6 BIBLE PRESCRIBES DEATH PENALTY,

VEDAS PREACH REFORMATION
1. BIBLICAL VERDICT OF DEATH PENALTY
The Holy Bible prescribes death penalty by stoning for a number of offences, sometimes
trivial. �Rocks were hurled at the victim, until he or she became a bloody pulp, and the
mass of flesh ceased to move.� This horrible method of execution was carried out in
Europe for several years in the past.
(i) Death penalty by stoning for blasphemy
28. �16. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to
death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him;��
- Leviticus, 24/16
(ii) Death penalty for straying near Tabernacle
29. �51. And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down;
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the 1Avites shall set it up; and the stranger
that cometh nigh shall be put to death.�
- Numbers, 1/51
(iii) Death penalty for not observing holiday (sabbath)
�Sabbath� means a day of the week set aside for religious worship and rest from work,
usually Saturday among the Jews and Sunday among the Christians. Holy Bible ordains
the Christians to observe holiday (holy day), a day of rest for God. He who falls to
observe, will be put to death.
30. �14. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that
defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that
soul shall he cut off from among his people.�
- Exodus, 31/14
31. �2. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an
holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord; whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to
death.�
- Exodus, 35/2
In �Exodus�, the reason given for observing seventh day as a day of rest is, �because
God made the heavens and the earth in six days, and rested on the seventh day.�
It is a human being, not God, who gets fatigued on account of continuous work for six
days, and needs rest on the seventh day. God Almighty is Omnipotent. To say that He
rested on the seventh day, as if He was fatigued and exhausted, amounts to blasphemy.
Thus the above vese in Exodus degrades God to the position of frail human being.
(iv) Death penalty for disobeying parents
Here is the most inhuman and the most brutal Biblical law which authorises parents, the
father and the mother, to bring their own son to the elders of the city to get him stoned to
death, for trivial fault of disobedience and stubbornness. Read the following four verses :
32. �18. If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice
of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will
not hearken unto them:�
- Deuteronomy, 21/18
33. �19. Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out
unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;�
34. �20. And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and
rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.�
35. �21. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die; so shalt
thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.�
No civilized state will approve of and enact the aforementioned brutal Biblical laws. In
fact the Church was, is and will be the enemy of civilization. The Church and civilization
are antipodes to each other. Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage corroborates the statement in the
following words :
�The church and civilization are antipodal; one means authority, the other freedom; one
means conservatism, the other progress; one means the rights of God as interpreted by
the priesthood, the other the rights of humanity as interpreted by humanity. Civilization
advances by free thought, free speech, free men.�45
- Matilda Joslyn Gage

(v) Death penalty for cursing parents
36. �And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.�
- Exodus, 21/17
(vi) Death penalty for homosexuality
37. �13. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be upon them.�
- Leviticus, 20/13
(vii) Death penalty for sexual intercourse with a woman during her menstruation
period
38. �18. And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall
uncover her nakedness; he bath discovered her fountain, and she bath uncovered
the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their
people.�
- Leviticus, 20/18
(viii) Death penalty for loss of virginity
The Holy Bible prescribes capital punishment by stoning for loss of virginity in the
following two verses :
39. �20. But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the
damsel;�
- Deuteronomy, 22120
40. �21. Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father�s house,
and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she bath
wrought folly in Isreal, to play the whore in her father�s house; so shalt thou put
evil away from among you.�
(ix) Death penalty for adultery
41. �10. And the man that committeth adultery with another man�s wife, even he
that committeth adultery with his neighbour�s wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death.�
- Leviticus, 20/10
Jesus Christ in Matthew 5/17 endorses the afore-mentioned first seven laws of death
penalty prescribed by Moses in the following words :
42. �17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets, I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil.�
- Matthew, 5/17
If the above mentioned Biblical verdicts of death penalty are carried out strictly in
modern Europe, a great portion of the population of the Western world would be put to
death. In modern permissive society, there are not many virgins around. In the Western
countries there are millions of people who do not observe holiday for going to the
Church. Now-a-days the Church premises are being sold in Europe. In modern scientific
era, thousands of educated rationalists in Europe and America have started questioning
the unscientific and undemocratic teachings of Holy Bible. If the above verdicts of death
penalty are applied seriously to such rationalists, the population of the Western world will
surely decrease to a large extent.
(x) Death penalty for disobeying leaders of the Church
Clement, the Bishop of Rome from 90-100 C.E., argued that God alone rules all things,
that He lays down the law, punishing rebels and rewarding the obedient, and that His
authority is delegated to Church leaders. Clement went as far as to say that whoever
disobeys these divinely ordained authorities has disobeyed God Himself and should
receive the death penalty.46
Even in the beginning of the twentieth century, Pope Leo XIII argued that the ends
justified the means. He said :
�The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the Church to attain its
end, when rebels act against it.�47
- Pope Leo XIII
2. VEDAS PREACH REFORMATION
Holy Vedas, unlike Holy Bible, do not formulate hard and fast laws for each offence.
This task is left to the legislature. If religious books legislate laws, and those are carried
out, the existence of legislature will be nullified and there will be no need to elect the
members of legislature. Vedas never say that criminals should not be punished. But to a
man of common sense, death sentence prescribed by Holy Bible appears to be too big a
punishment for too small an offence like �not observing a holiday�. However, Vedic
approach to the criminals or sinners is reformative and constructive. Holy Vedas
admonish us not to look down upon those who have spoiled and stained their life on
account of sins or crimes. Indeed they are the wretched souls. But they ought not to be
despised, discouraged and denounced. They are to be pitied upon rather than hated.
They deserve compassion and kindness. They should be reformed, elevated and
encouraged to shun vice and lead virtuous life in future. �Uplift the fallen and forlorn�
is the slogan of Vedic religion. Vedic philosophy urges upon reformative and
constructive approach.

�The Hindu culture is the life-breath of Hindusthan. It is therefore clear that if
Hindusthan is to be protected, we should first nourish the Hindu culture. If the Hindu
culture perishes in Hindusthan itself, and if the Hindu society ceases to exist, it will
hardly be appropriate to refer to the mere geographical entity that remains as
Hindusthan. Mere geographical lumps do not make a nation.�

7 BIBLE DENIGRATES WOMEN,
VEDAS ELEVATE THEM
1. DENIGRATION OF WOMEN IN BIBLE
(i) Biblical God curses all women
The women have been belittled, humiliated and denigrated by the following verse of the
Holy Bible, in which Biblical God has cursed all women that He will multiply their
sorrow and they will endure pain of child-birth and that their husbands shall rule over
them because of their no fault but that of their first grandmother Eve eating the forbidden
fruit in the Garden of Eden. Will any educated woman believe in and approve of being
ruled by her husband as declared by Biblical God in Bible ? Here is the relevant verse :
43. �16. Unto the woman he (God) said, 1 will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee.�
- Genesis, 3/16
That is why in nineteenth century some Christian priests opposed the use of anesthetics at
the time of child-birth on the plea that it would amount to the transgression of the so
called divine will under which woman must endure pain of child-birth. It was only when
Queen Victoria had anestheties at the time of her child-birth, that it was allowed to be
used commonly. In this connection Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher, who
was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1950, writes :
�One occasion for the logical intervention to prevent the mitigation of human suffering
was the discovery of anaesthetics. Simpson in 1847 recommended their use in child
birth, and was immediately reminded by the clergy that God said to Eve (Bible, Genesis,
III: 16) : �In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children.��
- Bertrand Russell
Christian priests condemn birth control. In their opinion, women are machines to
produce more and more children to increase the population of their co-religionists.
Bertrand Russell states :
�Most of clergymen condemn birth control None of them condemns the brutality of a
husband who causes his wife to die of too frequent pregnancies. I knew a fashionable
clergyman whose wife had nine children in nine years. The doctors told him that if she
had another she would die. Next year she had another and died. No one condemned,. he
retained his benefice and married again.�48
- Bertrand Russell
�The second century St. Clement of Alexandria wrote :
Every woman should be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman.�49
- St Clement
Lutherans at Wittenberg debated whether women were really human beings at all.50
(ii) Woman was created for man, not man for woman
The New Testament states that originally man did not spring from woman, but woman
was made out of man, and that woman was not created for woman�s sake, but for the
sake of man.
44. �8. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.�
- I Corinthians, 11/8
45. �9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.�
In 1977, Pope Paul VI explained :
�Women were barred from the priesthood because our Lord was a man.�51
- Pope Paul VI
(iii) Christ is the head of man, but not of woman
The New Testament states that the head of every man is Christ, but he is not the head of
woman. She is headed by man, not Christ. It indicates that woman does not enjoy equal
status according to Holy Bible. Here is the relevant text :
46. �3. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.�
(iv) Women must remain under domination of men
The New Testament ordains women to remain under domination of men. They should
not teach, nor usurp authority over men, but to remain in silence with all subjection.
Read the following five verses :
47. �11. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.�
- I Timothy, 2/11
48. �12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to he in silence.�
- I Timothy, 2/12
49. �13. For Adam was First formed, then Eve.�
- I Timothy, 2/13
50. �14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression.�
- I Timothy, 2/14
51. �24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their
own husbands in every thing.�
- Ephesians, 5/24
When Christian monks in the fourth century hacked the great scholar Hypatia to death
with oyster shells, St. Cyril explained that it was because she was an iniquitous (wicked)
female who had presumed, against God�s commandments, to teach men.52
Elizabeth Cady Stanton observes :
�I know of no other book (barring the Bible) that so fully teaches the subjection and
degradation of woman.�
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
(v) Submission of wives to husbands
Again the New Testament declares that God considers it as fit and proper that wives
should submit themselves to their own husbands. Here is the text :
52. �18. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own Husbands, as it is fit in the
Lord.�
- Colossians, 3/18
It is a matter of agony and amazement that the State has played the role of agent and
slave of the Church in subjugation of woman. In this connection Ms Matilda Joslyn
Gage, an American writer, states :
�The State, agent and slave of the Church, has so long united with it in suppression of
woman�s intelligence, has so long preached of power to man alone, that it has created
an inherited tendency, an inborn line of thought toward repression.�53
Dante (1265-1321), the greatest poet of Italy, continuously fought against the political
aggression of the Papacy. In this connection, John Bond, the noted American journalist,
writes
�The great poet Dante, a thoroughly orthodox Catholic, consistently fought against the
political aggression and against the wild claims of the Papacy. Consequently he was
driven into perpetual exile and condemned to �be burnt until dead� in case of capture.
His famous book exposing the falsity of the Papal pretences in the forum of reason and
history was ordered burned by the public hangman. A Roman cardinal of that day issued
an order to open Dante k tomb and have the body tied to the stake and given to the
flames as that of a heretic. The order was never executed because the friends of the great
poet interfered.�54
- John Bond
(vi) Women not permitted to speak in Churches
According to law laid down in the New Testament, women are not permitted to speak in
Churches. If they want to learn any thing, they may ask their husbands at home, for it is a
matter of shame for women to speak in the Church. Here is the Biblical text in this
connection :
53. �34. Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted unto
them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the
law.�
- I Corinthians 14/34
54. �35. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for
it is a shame for women to speak in the church.�
- I Corinthians. 14/35
Will the educated women believe in and approve of the above text ? If not, let them raise
voice emphatically.
The women in England were not permitted to read the Holy Bible for a long time. In this
connection Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage writes :
�For a long period after the reformation, English women were not permitted to read the
Bible, a statute of the Eighth Henry prohibiting �women and others of low degree�
from its use.�55
(vii) Woman, not man, must cover her head during prayer
The New Testament admonishes men not to cover their heads while praying, but for
women the admonition is different. They should cover their heads during prayer. The
Holy Bible further ordains that if a woman does not cover her head during prayer, she
dishonours her head and looks as if she is shaven. The next Biblical command for a
woman is more strict. It says that if a woman does not cover her head, while praying, let
her be shorn. But if she feels ashamed to be shorn or shaven, then let her cover her head.
Let us read the following three verses in this matter :
55. �4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth
his head.�
56. �5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered
dishonoureth her head; for that is even all one as if she were shaven.�
57. �6. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame
for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.�
(viii) Test for unfaithful wife by making her drink bitter water
Holy Bible prescribes test for faithless wife as under : �If a wife is suspected of
faithlessness by her husband, she will be brought before the priest. The priest will put her
to test by making her drink water, which causes curse. If the woman is defiled and has
committed the sin of having sexual intercourse with the man other than her husband, the
water will make her belly swell and her thigh shall rot.� Here is the text :
58. �20. But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou
be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband;�
- Numbers 5/20
59. �21. Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the
priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among
thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;�
- Numbers, 5/21
60. �22. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy
belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot; And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.�
- Numbers, 5/22
61. �27. And when he bath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass,
that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water
that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall
swell, and her thigh shall rot; and the woman shall be a curse among her people.�
- Numbers, 5/27
Why did Biblical God not institute similar test for unfaithful husband ? The above four
verses indicate the partiality of Biblical God and injustice to women. When will the
women awaken from sound slumber and raise their strong protest against their
denigration and humiliation in the name of religion ?
(ix) Does woman have a soul ?
Not only the Church, but also the State denied that woman possesses a soul. Matilda
Joslyn Gage writes :
�As early as the sixth century a council at Macon (585) fifty-nine bishops taking part,
devoted its time to a discussion of this question, �Does woman possess a soul ?��
Until time of Peter the Great, women were not recognized as human beings in that great
division of Christendom known as the Greek church, the census of that empire counting
only males, or so many �souls� -no woman named. Traces of this old belief have not
been found wanting in our own country within the century. As late as the Woman�s
Rights Convention in Philadelphia, 1854, an objector in the audience cried out : �Let
women first prove they have souls; both the Church and the State deny it.� �56

(x) Biblical law of divorce humiliates woman
Biblical law of divorce renders sheer injustice and atrocity to a woman. According to
Holy Bible, if a husband is displeased with his wife, he can divorce her instantly, simply
by giving a letter of divorcement in her hand and asking her to get out of his house. But
Holy Bible does not authorise a wife to divorce her husband. The Holy Bible renders
another injustice to a woman by making a law that if the divorced wife becomes another
man�s wife, and if he too hates her and divorces her in the same manner, she cannot go
back to her former husband, because she is defiled. The Holy Bible emphatically states
that such re-marriage of twice-divorced wife with previous husband is abominable
before God, and the land where such re-marriage takes place commits sin. Read the
following four verses in this connection :
62. �1. When a man bath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that
she rind no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her; then
let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house.�
- Deuteronomy, 24/1
63. �2. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another
man�s wife.�
- Deuteronomy, 24/2
64. �3. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and
giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die,
which took her to be his wife;�
- Deuteronomy, 24/3
65. �4. Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his
wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord; and thou
shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance.�
- Deuteronomy, 24/4
(xi) Could a Christian husband release himself from marriage bond by killing his
wife ?
Ms. Matilda Joslyn Gage, one of the renowned researchers of America, authoritatively
answers the above question in affirmative. She states :
�An examination of history proves that in Christian Russia as in Christian England the
husband could release himself from the marriage bond by killing his wife, over whom
under Christian law he had power of life and death. Her children, as to-day in Christian
England and America, are not under her control; she is to bear children but not to
educate them, for as under Catholic and Protestant Christianity, women are looked upon
as a lower order of beings, of an unclean nature.�57
George W. Foote opines :
�It will yet be the proud boast of woman that she never contributed a line to the
Bible.�58
- George W. Foote
Helen Gardner states :
�Women are indebted today for their emancipation from a position of hopeless
degradation, not to their religion nor to Jehovah, but to the justice and honor of the men
who have defied his commands. That she does not crouch today where St. Paul tried to
bind her, she owes to the men who are grand and brave enough to ignore St. Paul, and
rise superior to his God.�59
- Helen Gardner
2. ELEVATION OF WOMEN IN VEDAS
Despite antiquity of Vedas, they preach the most modern and the most progressive
thoughts. Woman enjoys high position at home as well as society according to Vedas.
Both man and woman enjoy equal rights. For husband and wife, Vedas make mention of
one word dmpaita which means two masters of one house. Not only husband, but
also his wife is equal owner of the house. Both enjoy the same prestige, power and
position. None is subordinate to the other. To say that wife is servant or slave to husband
is not okayed by Vedas. The performance of yajna is considered to be complete only
when both husband and wife sit together. Woman enjoys the same right as man, to study
and preach the sublime philosophy of Vedas.
According to Vedic religion, marriage is a union of two souls enjoying constant peace and
prosperity at home. It entitles woman to enjoy permanent safety, security, serenity and
sovereignty at home. Marriage is not a temporary social contract which can be broken at
any time at the whim and caprice of either party. In accordance with Vedic religion,
marriage ensures woman to be the wife and mistress at the house for full span of life of a
hundred years. When Aryan bride-groom brings his newly-wedded bride to his house, he
addresses her at the time of her first entrance in her house as under
pa`bauQyasva saubauQaa bauQyamaanaa

dIGaa-yautvaaya SataSaardaya |
gaRhana\ gacC gaRhpatnaI yaqaasaao dIGa-M
ta Aayau: saivataa kRxNaaotau ||
Remain awake
As intelligent and alert woman
Enjoying full life of a hundred years.
Enter the house as its ideal mistress,
May the Creator bestow on thee
Long life.
Wedding ceremonies performed in accordance with Vedic religion bind the bride and
bride-groom in spiritual ties of love and liberty, equality and integrity, purity and piety.
They become one soul living in two bodies. Nuptial relations guaranteed by Vedic
religion are based on spiritualism rather than materialism, love rather than lust. The
following mantra in which bride-groom addresses his bride at the time of wedding,
categorically illustrates the inseparable union between the two :
Amaao#hmaisma saa tvaM

saamaahmasmyaRk\x tvaM VaOrhM paRiqavaI
tvama\ |
taaivah saM Bavaava pa`jaamaa janayaavahO
|
I am what thou art
Thou art what I am,
I am the psalm
And thou art the verse,
I am the heaven
And thou art the earth,
May we live together
To produce progeny.
The hand that rocks the cradle, can rock the entire nation. History is a witness that fall of
huge empires has been, to a great extent, due to degradation of women-folk. The first
inspiring teacher of man is his mother who shapes his future and makes his destiny.
Nation is made of individuals who owe their rise to the teachings of their mothers. Hence
progress of nation depends upon the development of women. They are the truest builders
of the nation. That is why an Aryan mother announces with pride and privilege in the
following mantra of Rig Veda that she is glory of her nation, prop of her society and
pillar of her community
AhM koxtaurhM maUQaa-hmaugaà

ivavaacanaI |
mamaodnau ÚtauM paita: saohanaayaa
{paacarota\ ||
I am the banner
I am the head
I possess excellent eloquence;
My husband co-operates with me
And follows my will.
- Rig Veda 10/159/2
That is why Shri Manu, the first apostle of equality, liberty and fraternity in the world,
held the women in high esteem. According to him woman enjoys loftier position than
that enjoyed by man. It is woman who elevates and exalts the nation. He speaks of
honoured and exalted status of woman in his following utterance :
ya~a naaya-stau paUjyantao rmantao ta~a

dovataa: |
à manau
The enlightened souls enjoy life with ecstasy
Where women are honoured.
- Manu
�Christianity has failed to stem the tide of materialism in their own countries ! Though a
great number of Christian missionaries are working here to convert our men, the
Christian countries themselves are going further and further away from Christ.
Nowadays, very few people attend the church there. Churches present a haunted look. In
fact, some of them are being kept for sale ! It only means, that some other philosophy,
more comprehensive and capable of satisfying the modern mind, of meeting the many
complex challenges of present times and importing spiritual content to their life, has
bec6me necessary. The present trend in those countries points to Hinduism as their future
refuge.�

8 OBSCENE EPISODES IN BIBLE,
MORAL CODE OF CONDUCT IN VEDAS
1. OBSCENE EPISODES IN BIBLE
(i) Noah drank wine and remained naked
The Holy Bible states that Noah, the hero of righteousness, drank wine, and was so much
intoxicated that he made himself naked in his tent. Ham, the son of Noah, saw the
nakedness of his father and informed his two brothers Shem and Japheth, who took a
garment and covered the nakedness of their father. Here is the text :
66. �20. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.�

- Genesis, 9/20
67. �21. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within
his tent.�
- Genesis, 9/21
68. �22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told
his two brethren without.�
- Genesis, 9/22
69. �23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their
faces were backward, and they saw not their father�s nakedness.�
- Genesis, 9/23
70. �24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done
unto him.�
- Genesis, 9/24
71. �25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren.�
- Genesis, 9/25
(ii) Reuben�s sexual intercourse with his father�s concubine
72. �And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay
with Bilhah his father�s concubine; and Israel heard it.�
- Genesis, 35/22
(iii) Onan�s sexual intercourse with his brother�s wife
Holy Bible mentions that Judah instructed his son Onan to marry (have sexual intercourse
with) his elder brother�s widow Tamar and produce children in the name of his brother
(not in his name). Onan did not like that the children produced by his sperm might be
called the progeny of his brother; hence he slept with his brother�s widow, had sexual
intercourse with her, but spilled his sperm (semen) on the ground, because he did not
want to produce children out of his sperm for his brother. This action on the part of Onan
displeased Biblical God, and the Lord killed him. Here is the text :
73. �8. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother�s wife, and marry her,
and raise up seed to thy brother.�
- Genesis, 38/8
74. �19. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when
he went in unto his brother�s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he
should give seed to his brother.�
- Genesis, 38/9
75. �10. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; wherefore he slew him
also.�
- Genesis. 38/10
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the famous orator and statesman of U.S.A., who popularised
the criticism of the Bible on the basis of a humanistic philosophy and scientific
rationalism, observes :
�The believers in the Bible are loud in their denunciation of what they are pleased to
call the immoral literature of the world, and yet few books have been published
containing more moral filth than this inspired word of God.�60
- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

(iv) Judah�s sexual intercourse with his widowed daughter-in-law
The Holy Bible states that when Tamar, the widowed daughter-in-law of Judah came to
know that her father-in-law was to go to Timnath to shear his sheep, she put off her
widow�s garment, wrapped herself in veil and sat on the way to Timnath. When Judah
saw her, he, not knowing that she was his widowed daughter-in-law, requested her to
allow him to have sexual intercourse with her. She said to him. �What will you give
me for having intercourse with you ?� Judah replied, �I shall send one kid out of flock
of my goats.� She said, �Till you send the kid to me, you may keep with me your
tokens like signet (seal), bracelets and your staff (stick) which is in your hand.� Judah
gave these things to her and had sexual intercourse with her, and she conceived by him.
Read the Biblical text :
76. �13. And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to
Timnath to shear his sheep.�
- Genesis, 38/13
77. �14. And she put her widow�s garments off from her, and covered her with a
vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to
Timnath;��
- Genesis, 38/14
78. �15. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had
covered her face.�
- Genesis, 38/15
79. �16. And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me
come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said,
What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?�
- Genesis, 38/16
80. �17. And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou
give me a pledge, till thou send it?�
- Genesis, 38/17
81. �18. And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and
thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in
unto her, and she conceived by him.�
- Genesis, 38/18
(v) Biblical God caused his prophet Isaiah to walk stark naked for three years
Holy Bible narrates that God caused his prophet Isaiah to walk stark naked for three
years. The Lord said that it was a sign for the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the king
of Assyria will heap the same type of shame upon Egypt by displaying the Egyptian and
Ethiopian prisoners, young and old, naked and barefooted, even with their buttocks
uncovered. Read the following three verses :
82. �2. At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and
loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did
so, walking naked and barefoot.�
- Isaiah, 20/2
83. �3. And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah bath walked naked and
barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;�
- Isaiah, 20/3
84. �4. So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian prisoners, and the
Ethiopian captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks
uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.�
- Isaiah, 20/4
Count Tolstoy, the renowned Russian writer and thinker, opines unambiguously :
�The very foundations of this religion (Christianity) admitted by all and formulated in
the Nicene creed, are so absurd and immoral, and run so counter to right feeling and to
commonsense, that men cannot believe in them.�61
- Count Tolstoy
On February 22, 1901, Leo Tolstoy was proclaimed an enemy of the Church and was ex-
communicated62 on account of his candid statements about Christianity. He wrote :
�With me, life makes religion, religion does not make life.�63
- Leo Tolstoy
(vi) Castration recommended by Jesus Christ
85. �12. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother�s
womb; and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men; and there be
eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven�s sake.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.�
- Matthew, 19/12
The early Christians faithfully carried out the afore-mentioned divine injunction. A
Christian sect in Russia long practised castration as an act of obedience to Christ�s
command.64
Origen, (c. 185-c. 254), the most influential theologian of the early Greek church,
castrated himself so as to work freely in instructing female catechumens.65
(vii) The daughters� sexual intercourse with their father
The two daughters of Lot, who was the nephew of prophet Abraham, made their father
drink wine at night, slept with him, had sexual intercourse with him and gave birth to two
male children by their father. The elder daughter gave birth to a son named Moab. He is
called the father of Moabites till today. The younger daughter gave birth to a son by her
father. He was named Benammi. He is called the father of the children of Ammon till
today. Here is the full text consisting of seven verses :
86. �32. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father.�
- Genesis, 19/32
87. �33. And they made their father drink wine that night; and the firstborn went
in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she
arose.�
- Genesis, 19/33
88. �34. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the
younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father; let us make him drink wine this
night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our
father.�
- Genesis, 19/34
89. �35. And they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger
arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she
arose.�
- Genesis, 19/35
90. �36. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.�
- Genesis, 19/36
91. �37. And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the
father of the Moabites unto this day.�
- Genesis, 19/37
92. �38. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-am-mi: the
same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.�
- Genesis, 19/38
If the readers peruse chapter 19 of Genesis fully, they will come to know that Lot was not
one of those whom Biblical God abhorred. He was dearer and nearer to God. That is
why God, being merciful to him, saved him by bringing him and his family out of the city
through two angels, before the city was destroyed by God.
Here some questions arise : Do the educated Christians of modern civilized era approve
of and believe in the afore-mentioned verses which narrate sexual intercourse of
daughters with their father ? If they don�t, why do they not raise voice against the said
immorality and incest and compel the Pope to delete this text from the Holy Bible ? Why
do they not openly profess that they dislike the said text ? Why do they say that each
verse of Bible is holy and true ? How do they claim that Bible contains all the answers to
all the problems of life ? They call the non-Christians as infidels, but actually an infidel is
he who pretends to believe in what he does not actually believe. Thomas Paine, the
famous thinker and innovator, expresses the same idea. He says :
�I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have
the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of
man, that he be mentally faithful to himself Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in
disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.�66
- Thomas Paine
Ronald Reagon, the President of the United States, who had power to control the
weapons that could obliterate all life on earth, once remarked about Holy Bible as under :
�Within the covers of that single book, are contained all the answers, to all the
problems that we face today.�67
- Ronald Reagan
Almost all educated persons, who read the above verses regarding sexual intercourse of
the two daughters with their father, will surely scoff at Ronald Reagan�s above remark.
(viii) Lot offers his two daughters to a riotous mob of sodomites
Lot, the nephew of prophet Abraham, offers his two daughters to a riotous mob of
homosexuals in order to save two angels who visited him.
93. �8. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I
pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only
unto these men (two angels) do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow
of my roof.�
- Genesis, 19/8
(ix) The prophet Abram�s illicit connection with maid servant
Holy Bible states that Abram�s wife Sarai was barren. So she gave her Egyptian
maid, Hagar, to her husband Abram to be his wife. When the Egyptian maid conceived,
Sarai felt that she was despised in the eyes of her maid, so she (Sarai) drove her to
wilderness with the consent of Abram. Hagar gave birth to a son named Ishmael. At that
time Abram was 86 years old. Read the following five verses :
94. �3. And Sarai Abram�s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to
be his wife.�
- Genesis, 16/3
95. �4. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she
had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.�
- Genesis, 16/4
96. �5. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee; I have given my maid
into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her
eyes; the Lord judge between me and thee.�
- Genesis, 16/5
97. �6. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it
pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.�
- Genesis, 16/6
98. �16. And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to
Abram.�
- Genesis, 16/16
Is it morality that Abram, the prophet, debauches his maidservant and later on drives her
along with the child produced by her of him, to wilderness ?
Count Tolstoy, the renowned Russian writer and thinker, remarks :

�Really no religion has ever preached things so evidently incompatible with
contemporary knowledge or so immoral as the doctrines preached by Church
Christianity.�68
- Count Tolstoy
(x) The prophet Abram marries his sister
The Holy Bible states that Abimelech, the king of Gerar, took away Sarai, the wife of the
prophet Abram, and kept her in his palace. Abram, the prophet, himself admitted to king
Abimelech that Sarai, his wife, was his sister, the daughter of his father. Read the
following verse :
99. �12. And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not
the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.�
- Genesis, 20/12
(xi) Abram, the prophet, barters his wife�s honour
Holy Bible mentions that when Abram, the prophet, along with his wife Sarai went to
Egypt, he said to his wife, �You look beautiful; when the Egyptians will see you, they
will kill me and will allow you to remain alive, hence you may announce that you are my
sister. In this way I shall be saved.� Here is the text
100. �11. And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he
said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look
upon;�
- Genesis, 12/11
101. �12. Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that
they shall say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.�
- Genesis, 12/12
102. �13. Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with we for thy
sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.�
- Genesis, 12/13
When the princes (officers) of Pharaoh saw Sarai, they commanded her before the king
Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharao�s palace. The king Pharaoh kept Sarai in his
palace and pleased Abram by giving him gifts of sheep, oxen, asses, camels, male
servants and maidservants. Thus the prophet Abram passed on his beautiful wife Sarai,
calling her as his sister, to Pharaoh and allowed her to remain in his royal palace by
receiving in return the afore-mentioned gifts. The readers are advised to peruse the last
ten verses of chapter 12 of Genesis to understand this episode fully. However for the
sake of brevity, here two verses are cited :
103. �15. The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commanded her before
Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh�s house.�
- Genesis, 12/15
104. �16. And he entreated Abram well for her sake; and he had sheep, and oxen,
and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.�
- Genesis, 12/16
The Holy Bible continues saying that when God plagued Pharaoh and his house with
great plagues, he (Pharaoh) sent her back to her husband, Abram, who, however did not
seem to have returned the gifts which he had received from the king.
The prophet Abram played the same trick with Abimelech, the king of Gerar, and
received from him the gifts of sheep, oxen, male-servants, maidservants and one
thousand pieces of silver. Here is the Biblical text
105. �14. And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.�
- Genesis, 20/14
106. �16. And unto Sarah he said, Behold, 1 have given thy brother a thousand
pieces of silver;��
- Genesis. 20/16
Joseph Lewis, the president of Free Thinkers of America and the editor of �The Age of
Reason�, writes :
�The writers of Bible had slight concern for the principles of morality. They were more
concerned with rape, murder robbery, slavery, licentiousness, brutal ignorance and
derogatory superstition. If the ministers of the Gospel are too dense and stupid to realise
the moral mischief resulting from the perverse teachings of the Bible, then it is about time
to bring them to their senses.�69
- Joseph Lewis
(xii) Abandonment of women was a covenant with God!
The Holy Bible mentions abandonment of women and their children, and it is called a
covenant with God ! Will the feminists of the world like it ? Will women of the globe
approve of it ? Here is the verse :
107. �3. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the
wives, and such as are born of them��
- Ezra, 10/3
(xiii) David locked up ten concubines
108. �3. And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten
women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward,
and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their
death, living in widowhood.�
- II Samuel, 20/3
(xiv) Moses : Keep alive virgins for your enjoyment and kill non-virgins
The Holy Bible states that Moses, one of the towering figures in Bible, instructed his
soldiers to kill all boys and all those girls who had lost their virginity by sleeping with
males, but to keep alive for their enjoyment those virgins, who did not have sexual
intercourse with males. Read the following five verses :
109. �17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman
that bath known man by lying with him.�
- Numbers, 31/17
110. �18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.�
- Numbers, 31/18
111. �32. And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep.�
- Numbers, 31/32
112. �35. And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not
known man by lying with him.�
- Numbers, 31/35
113. �40. And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord�s tribute was
thirty and two persons,�
- Numbers, 31/40
The afore-mentioned verses indicate that thirty two thousand virgins were captured as
booty and distributed among the congregation and the Lord.
Mark Twain, the great American humorous writer, throws light on the above passage as
under :
�Their naked privacies were probed to make sure they had the hymen intact. After this
humiliation, they were sent away from the land that had been their home, to be sold into
slavery; the worst of slaveries; bed slavery; to excite lust and satisfy it with their bodies;
slavery to any buyer, be he gentleman, or be he coarse and filthy ruffian. (Letters From
the Earth)�70
- Mark Twain
While commenting upon the afore-mentioned five verses, Thomas Paine, the great
thinker of America, remarks :
�Among the detestable villains that in any period of the world have disgraced the name
of man, it is impossible to find a greater than Moses, if this account be true. Here is an
order to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers, and debauch the daughters.�71
- Thomas Paine
Charles Smith, the editor of �The Truth-Seeker�, states wrathfully :
�Which is the wrose, the Old or the New Testament ? If bad books are burned, the
largest bonfire should consist of Bibles.�72
- Charles Smith
(xv) Sale of daughters for sexual gratification
Will the members of Human Rights Commission approve of sale of daughters as

mentioned in the following verses of Holy Bible ?
114. �7. And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as
the menservants do.�
- Exodus, 21/7
115. �8. If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall
he let her be redeemed; to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power,
seeing he bath dealt deceitfully with her.�
- Exodus, 21/8
One must question to Christian missionaries : Is woman like a toy ? As long as you enjoy
sexual satisfaction, you may keep her with you, but when she ceases to satisfy you
sexually, you may throw her ! Is it morality ? No civilized states would tolerate such
infamy.
The Britishers often boasted that they were the civilized nation for centuries. Will they
dare deny that sale of daughters was practised in England for seven hundred years, after
the introduction of Christianity ? Ms. Matilda Joslyn Gage, renowned American writer,
corroborates the above statement as under
�While the sale of daughters was practiced in England for seven hundred years after
the introduction of Christianity, we note that by the ancient law of India, a father was
forbidden to sell his daughter in marriage, or receive the smallest present there for In
mediaeval England the daughter was held as a portion of the father property to be sold to
the highest bidder.�73

(xvi) Killing male enemies, and marrying their females
Holy Bible allows and justifies killing of male enemies, then marrying their beautiful
females from among the captives, and abandoning them later on if such captive wives do
not give sexual satisfaction. Here are five Biblical verses in this connection :
116. �10. When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy
God bath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive.�
117. �11. And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto
her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;�
118. �12. Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her
head, and pare her nails;�
119. �13. And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall
remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month; and after
that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.�
120. �14. And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go
whither she will;��
Can it be called marriage or rape ? No civilized man will approve of marrying captive
women by force and throwing them away when they cease to give sexual satisfaction.
Here is another passage in Holy Bible, which allows and justifies killing all male
enemies, and taking away their women folk for sexual gratification
121. �13. And when the Lord thy God bath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt
smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:�
122. �14. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the
city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself., and thou shalt eat the
spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.�
Note : �Spoil of war� means plundering of the possessions (including women and
children) of enemies in war after they are killed.
With all this, the Christian missionaries claim that only the religion of Christ and Holy
Bible will lead men and women to moral progress. The readers, after having read the
afore-mentioned instances, will themselves judge whether the religion of Christ and Holy
Bible will lead men and women to moral progress or retrogress. In this connection the
remark of Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher, who was awarded the Nobel
Prize for literature in 1950, is worth quoting. He says :
�The Christian religion as organised in its Churches has been and still is the principal
enemy of moral progress in the world.�74
- Bertrand Russell
Thomas Paine, one of the founders of the U.S.A., opines :
�Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and
torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible
is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon; than the word
of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalise mankind,-
and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.�75
- Thomas Paine
2. MORAL CODE OF CONDUCT IN VEDAS
Holy Vedas consist of complete moral code of conduct for men and women of the world.
It is not possible to cite here all instances. If the readers want to acquire Vedic
knowledge in toto, they are advised to go through my book �Philosophy of Vedas�
authored by me in 1982.
Holy Vedas, being practical guide to mankind, emphasise upon pure and pious life full of
pure and pious deeds.
Sauwa: pautaa Bavata yai&ayaasa: |

à Pgvaod 10ó18ó2
Be pure and pious
O worshippers !
- Rig Veda 10/18/2
Purity is the key of spiritual treasure. It elevates and exalts man. Prayer without purity is
as useless as body without soul. Not only purity of body, but that of mind is required. He
who is pure and pious in thoughts, words and deeds, can alone tread on path of
spiritualism. Those who are pure within and without, hold the passport to enter the
kingdom of God. Vedas emphasise upon piety and purity. Hence man should pray to
Providence not for personal power, position and prestige, but for purity and piety.
jaatavaod: paunaIih maa |

à yajauva-od 19ó39
May the omniscient Lord
Make me pure and pious.
- Yajur Veda, 19/39
Vedic message is divine message which inspires and elevates man, exalts and uplifts him,
invigorates and ennobles him, infuses and enthuses him to soar high to achieve immortal
bliss. Vedic philosophy admonishes us never to descend but to ascend and ascend to
sublime thoughts and deeds. Holy Vedas precept us to live with dignity
{VanaM tao paur]Ya naavayaanaM jaIvatauM

tao dXataaitaM kRxNaaoima |
Aa ih raohomamamaRtaM sauKaM
rqamaqaijaiva-iva-dqamaa vadaisa ||
O man, elevate thyself,
Ascend high, do not descend low,
I endow thee
With vigour and wisdom
To live with dignity.
Come, enter the divine chariot Of immortal bliss,
And impart thy knowledge
To assembly of people.
Prof. Emerson, the American essayist and poet, states :
�Vedas exalt our life. All philosophies and science of Europe appear insignificant
before Vedas. All men of the earth must return to Vedas.�
- Prof. Emerson
Prof. Pall Thema, the great thinker of the West, appreciates Holy Vedas in the following
words :
�The Vedas are noble documents, documents not only of value and pride to India but to
the entire humanity, because in them we see man attempting to lift himself above the
earthly existence.�
- Prot Pall Thema
Holy Vedas condemn and criticise lustful life in the form of unrestrained looseness in
sex. To indulge in sexual conjugation with wife of another person is nothing but
immorality and intemperance, debasement and debauchery, lewdness and lechery. The
lewd and lecherous man as well as woman is not entitled to participate in yajna according
to Rig Veda :
maa iSaEnadovaa Aipa gauP-taM na: |

à Pgva-od 7ó21ó5
The licentious persons are not fit
To participate in yajna.
- Rig Veda 7/21/5
He who indulges in debauchery loses his energy and strength, vision and vitality, memory
and manliness, dignity and decorum. His age is tremendously reduced. Shri Manu
corroborates the statement as under
nahIdRSamanaayauYyaM laaokox Bavaita

ikMxcana |
yaadRSaM paur]Yasyaoh
pardaraopasaovanama\ |
à manau 4ó134
In the world,
There is no other sin,
Which reduces age so quickly
As that of sexual intercourse
With wife of another man.
- Manu, 4/134
Vedas therefore emphasise upon purity and piety, chastity and sanctity of body and mind
which enables us to lead healthy life full of healthy thoughts and healthy deeds to serve
God and guide, father and mother, saints and seers, country and community. This is the
only way to enjoy life and gain admiration and immortality.

Ye enlightened pious souls,
May we hear with our ears

May we see with our eyes
What is good,
May we enjoy
Full span of our life
With pure limbs and pure body
And full satisfaction of mind
In the service of supreme Lord.
- Rig Veda 1/89/8
Holy Vedas emphasise on upliftment and elevation of all beings. The good of an
individual lies in cumulative progress of all persons. That is why Vedic religion precepts
man to purify not only himself but also others.

Begin to lead pure life
To attain universal splendour,
Purify thyself,
And make others pure,
Cross over the troublesome paths
Along with all heroes,
And live cheerfully
For a hundred autumns.
�Bharat is one nation with only one culture. Culture is the soul of Bharat. It is only our
culture that can protect and develop Bharat.�
- Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay

VEDAS : LOVE ALL
1. BIBLE : TORTURE NON-BELIEVERS
(i) Torture non-believers, but don�t hurt trees
123. �4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of
God in their foreheads.�
- Revelation, 9/4
According to Holy Bible, the value of a man�s life is less than that of the grass, and the
trees !
(ii) Don�t kill non-believers, but torture them
124. �5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they
should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a
scorpion, when he striketh a man.�
- Revelation, 9/5
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of America, admits candidly :
�It is between fifty and sixty years since I read the Apocalypse (Revelation), and I then
considered it merely the ravings of a manac.�76
- Thomas Jefferson
Joseph Lewis, President of �Free Thinkers of America� and editor of �The Age of
Reason�, states :
�The Bible is not a divine revelation from God. It is not inspired; on the contrary, it is a
wicked book .... It has been responsible for more suffering and torture than any other
volume ever printed��77
- Joseph Lewis
Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage, an American writer, states
�Boiling heretics and malefactors alive, commonly in oil but occasionally in water, was
practised throughout Europe until a comparatively late period.�78
According to James A. Haught, Pope Innocent IV authorised torture in 1252 A.D. to

eradicate heresy. The efforts to eradicate heresy led to the establishment of the Holy
Inquisition. He states :
�Efforts to stamp out heresy led to the establishment of the Holy Inquisition, one of
mankind�s supreme horrors. In the early 1200s, local bishops were empowered to
identify, try, and punish heretics�� Pope Innocent IV authorized torture in 1252, and
the Inquisition chambers became places of terror.... Swiss historian Walter Nigg
recounted : �The thumbscrew was usually the first to be applied : The fingers were
placed in clamps and the screws turned until the blood spurted out and the bones were
crushed. The defendant might be placed on the iron torture chair, the seat of which
consisted of sharpened iron nails that could be heated red-hot from below. There were
the so-called �boots�, which were employed to crush the shinbones. Another favorite
torture was dislocation of the limbs on the rack or the wheel on which the heretic, bound
hand and foot, was drawn up and down while the body was weighted with stones. So that
the torturers would not be disturbed by the shrieking of the victim, his mouth was stuffed
with cloth. Three-and-four-hour sessions of torture were nothing unusual. During the
procedure the instruments were frequently sprinkled with holy water.�79
- James A. Haught
Lord Acton, himself a Catholic, wrote in the late 1800s:
�The principle of the Inquisition was murderous�� The popes were not only
murderers in the great style, but they also made murder a legal basis of the Christian
Church and a condition of salvation.�80
- Lord Acton
2. VEDAS : LOVE ALL

The divine knowledge of Holy Vedas dawned on four Rishis, named Agni, Vayu, Aditya
and Angira directly from the Creator of the cosmos. Schopenhour, the renowned
German scholar, admits candidly :
�This goes to confirm the popular belief that the Vedas are eternal and not answerable
to any human agency and that they emanated from Brahm, the creator himself.�
- Schopenhour
Holy Vedas believe in brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God. According to Vedic
philosophy, all men of the earth are brothers to one another. God is the kind Father of
all. In the eyes of the Lord none is superior or inferior. He treats all alike bestowing
divine bliss and benediction on all, irrespective of caste, colour and creed. Vedic religion
is based on universal brotherhood. The philosophy of Vedas revolves round fraternity
and equality of all men of the globe. All men have equal rights on the earth. All belong
to Nature and Nature belongs to all. If Nature is kind to all, why should men hate one
another on the pretext of difference of religion ? Holy Vedas. therefore, emphatically urge
all men of the earth to love one another from the core of their hearts.

Love one another
As cow loves her new-born calf.
In the year 1869 a Frenchman, Louis Jacolliot, who had been a chief judge in
Chandernagore (erstwhile French India) wrote a book, �La Bible dans I�Inde�, in
French which was translated the following year into English. Jacolliot had said
�Land of ancient India

Cradle of humanity, hail
Hail ! revered motherland,
Whom centuries of brutal invasions
Have not yet buried
Under the dust of oblivision.
Hail ! Fatherland of faith,
Of love, of poetry and of science,
May we hail a revival of thy past
In our Western future !�81
-Louis Jacolliot
�It behoves us all to lovingly devote ourselves with all our heart, with all our wealth and
even with our lives, to the good of our country, the land of our birth, the land that
nourishes us and will sustain us in future.�
- Swami Dayanand Saraswati
�Mother and Motherland are dearer than heaven itself. Gods and cows, Brahmins and
the faith, these are to be protected. When faith is dead, death is better than life.�

10 BIBLE PREACHES ATROCIOUS INTOLERANCE,

VEDAS PREACH FRATERNITY
1. BIIBLE PREACHES ATROCIOUS INTOLERANCE
(i) Kill your own brother and son, if they entice you to serve other gods
Holy Bible ordains : �Kill your own brother, son, daughter, wife, if they entice you to
serve other gods�. Here are five Biblical verses in this connection :
125. �6. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the
wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly,
saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy
fathers;�
- Deuteronomy, 13/6
126. �7. Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto
thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of
the earth;�
- Deuteronomy, 13/7
127. �8. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall
thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him;�
- Deuteronomy, 13/8
128. �9. But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put
him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.�
- Deuteronomy, 13/9
129. �10. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he bath sought
to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage.�
The above verses indicate categorically that Holy Bible does. not allow freedom of
thought as well as freedom of worship. It is a matter of agony and amazement that Holy
Bible ordains a father to kill his own daughter, son, wife for a difference of religion !
H.G. Wells, the renowned English novelist, who was father of modern science fiction,
opines candidly :
�You can no more trust a devout Catholic in your household and in your confidence
than you can risk frankness or association with a Nazi spy.�82
- H.G. Wells
Thomas Paine, the great thinker and religio-political reformer of America, opines :
�Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to
the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory
in itself, than this thing called Christianity.�83
- Thomas Paine
Roman emperor Constantine, a man who had his own son executed and his wife
boiled alive,84 saw in Christianity a pragmatic means of bolstering his own military
power and uniting the vast and troubled Roman Empire.85
One cannot restrain oneself from shuddering at the wickedness of the man who commits
atrocity and ascribes it to the command of God ! Is it not sheer blasphemy to tarnish the
holy name of God by unholy deeds ? Thomas Paine corroborates the point
�People in general know not what wickedness there is in this pretended work of God....
it is a book of lies, wickedness, and blasphemy,. for what can be greater blasphemy than
to ascribe the wickedness of man to the orders of the Almighty ?�86
- Thomas Paine
(ii) Kill all non-believers of your town
Holy Bible says : �If any man or woman in your town serves and worships other gods,
like the sun, the moon etc. which God has not commanded, kill them with stone�. Here
is the Biblical text consisting of four verses :
130. �2. If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy
God giveth thee, man or woman, that bath wrought wickedness in. the sight of the
Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant,�
- Deuteronomy, 17/2
131. �3. And bath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the
sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;�
- Deuteronomy, 17/3
132. �4. And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and,
behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in
Israel;�
- Deuteronomy, 17/4
133. �5. Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have
committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and
shalt stone them with stones, till they die.�
- Deuteronomy, 17/5
St. Bernard of Clairvaux had declared in launching the Second Crusade :
�The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is
glorified.�87
- St. Bernard
(iii) Slaughter of infants and ripping of pregnant women
Holy Bible states in �Hosea� that infants of Samaria shall be dashed into pieces, and
pregnant women shall be ripped up.
134. �16. Samaria shall become desolate; for she bath rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women
with child shall be ripped up.�
- Hosea, 13/16
(iv) Killing infants by stoning
Should the infants be dashed against stones, even if they are born of enemies ? Not at all.
But Holy Bible makes mention of it in the following verse :
135. �9. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the
stones.�
- Psalms, 137/9
Note : Here �thy� stands for daughter of Babylon.
(v) Peaceful citizens of Laish massacred
Holy Bible narrates that the descendants of Dan assaulted Laish, massacred its peaceful
citizens and burnt the city :
136. �27. And they (children of Dan) took the things which Micah had made, and
the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and
secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with
fire.�
-Judges, 18/27
(vi) Kill each being that breathes
Holy Bible ordains the followers not to save alive any one in the cities conquered by
them. Each one that breathes must be slaughtered. Here is the text :
137. �16. But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee
for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth;�
2. VEDAS PREACH FRATERNITY
Holy Vedas preach fraternity and equality of all men of the earth. When Nature treats all
equally, why should men discriminate and quarrel with one another ?
Oxygen and Hydrogen combined in proper proportions will surely produce water,
whether the person who combines Oxygen and Hydrogen, is Hindu or Muslim or
Christian. When a person feels hungry, is it Hindu hunger or Muslim hunger or Christian
hunger ? It is human hunger. You have to put forth efforts to satisfy the hunger. When a
person is slain in communal riot, his blood spills on the ground, can you identify the
blood as Hindu blood or Muslim blood or Christian blood ? It is human blood. When an
orphan sheds tears at the loss of his parents in communal riots, can you label the tears as
Hindu tears or Muslim tears or Christian tears ? These are tears of a human child.
The sun illuminates all places whether it is cottage or castle, whether it is a Hindu
residence or a Muslim residence or a Christian residence. The rose gives equal fragrance
to all, Hindu as well as Muslim, Christian as well as Jew. If Nature imparts equal
treatment to all, why does man discriminate ? William Wordsworth, the famous poet
of English literature, expresses the same view when he laments :
�If this belief from heaven be sent

If such be nature�s holy plan
Have I no reason to lament
What man has made of man?�
- Wordsworth
If birds flock together, ants crawl together, sheep move together, cows graze
together, why can�t human beings live together ?
The Creator of the Cosmos has created the lovely earth with fascinating phenomena of
nature and beautiful boons for enjoyment of mankind. But instead of enjoying life in toto
on this alluring earth, men have created chaos, conflicts, controversies and calamities on
the petty pretext of different modes of worship. They do not know what worship means.
Worship does not consist of rites and rituals, nor of uttering and muttering of prescribed
religious syllables only. According to Hindu philosophy, worship signifies love - love for
not only human beings but also birds and beasts. Samuel Coleridge expresses the same
idea in his poem, �Ancient Mariner� :
�He prayeth well, who loveth well,

Both man and bird and beast,
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
- Samuel Coleridge
Vedas emphasise that souls of all men, birds, beasts and insects have the same Divine
lustre. None is devoid of Celestial grace, grandeur and glory. All beings originate from
the Supreme Being who is the Father of all His children. If it is so, why to despise
one another ? Providence permeates all beings, whether high or low, pauper or prince,
sinner or saint
sa#Aaota: paàotaEca ivaBaU: pa`jaasau |

à yajauva-od 32ó8
�He, the All-pervasive
Pervades all beings
Within and without.�
- Yajur Veda 32/8
He wo comprehends the afore-mentioned golden doctrine of omnipresence of Almighty,

and realises glimpse of God in all beings of the earth, never hates any creature. He
whose eyes look at all persons as equal brothers having same Celestial spark, which he
feels in his own self, is free from malice, hatred and fanaticism. The following mantra of
Yajur Veda illustrates the idea :
yastau savaa-iNa
BaUtaanyaatmaÙaovaanaupaSyaita |
sava-BaUtaoYau caatmanaM tataao na iva
icaikxtsaita ||
à yajauva-od 40ó6
�He who sees all beings
In his own self
And finds the reflection
Of his own self in all beings
Never looks down upon any body.�
- Yajur Veda 40/6
Thus, Hindu Philosophy (Vedic Philosophy) hinges on equality and fraternity. It is based
on universal brotherhood - brotherhood of not Hindus only but all human beings of the
earth, because all hearts are the abodes of Almighty
[-Evar sava-BaUtaanaa =_oSao#jau-na itaYzita
|
à gaItaa 18ó61
�O Arjuna
Supreme Being dwells
In the hearts of all creatures.�
- Gita 18/61
Prof. Heeren, the renowned Western scholar, writes :
�The Vedas stand alone in their solitary splendour serving as beacon of divine light for
the onward march of humanity.�
- Prof. Heeren
Lord Morley admits unambiguously :
�What is found in Vedas, exists nowhere else.�
- Lord Morley
�Solution of world�s problems lies in Hinduism and not in socialism.�

11 BIBLICAL GOD DEMANDS SACRIFICE OF ANIMALS,
VEDIC GOD SAVES DUMB ANIMALS
1. BIBLICAL GOD DEMANDS SACRIFICE OF ANIMALS
(i) Biblical God demands sacrifice of cattle from Israel�s children through Moses
138. �1. And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle
of the congregation, saying,�
- Leviticus, 1/1
139. �2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, if any man of you
bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the
herd, and of the flock.�
- Leviticus, 1/2
(ii) Sprinkling of bullock�s blood on the altar
140. �5. And he shall kill the bullock before the lord; and the priests, Aaron�s
sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.�
- Leviticus, 1/5
2. VEDIC GOD SAVES DUMB ANIMALS
Holy Vedas teach that souls of all men, birds, beasts and insects have the same divine
lustre. None is devoid of celestial radiance. All men, birds and beasts originate from the
same Supreme Being who is kind Father of all His children. If it is so, why to slay dumb
animals, which are brothers and sisters of men ?
Man is so frail and feeble creature that he cannot grant life to any one. He who cannot
give life, has no right to take it. The tongue-tied dumb animals, who are unfailing friends
and faithful companions of man in weal and woe, are so ungratefully slaughtered by
faithless flesh-eaters just to fill their stomach and by superstitious sacrificers to make an
offering at the altar of God ! How can God, being Father of all creatures, wish the
slaughter and sacrifice of His children ? He, who demands animal sacrifice, must not be
real God !
Vedic God admonishes all men of the earth to love not only human beings, but also birds
and beasts. To slay innocent dumb animals is the most heinous sin, which can never be
pardoned under any circumstances.
Anaagaaohtyaa vaO BaImaa |

It is the greatest sin
To slay the innocent animals.
-Atharva Veda 10/1/29
�The cow happens to be the archstone of Bharat�s economy.�

12 VEGETARIANISM IN VEDAS,
FLESH-EATING IN BIBLE
1. VEGETARIANISM IN VEDAS
Vegetarianism is the pivot round which Vedic philosophy revolves. According to Vedas,
flesh-eating is strictly prohibited. It is not only unnatural food, but also detrimental to
body and soul.
Man is vegetarian by nature. He is herbivorous and graminivorous, not carnivorous.

Flesh-eating does not suit his body and nature. Those animals which are carnivorous like
lion, wolf etc; are given by nature sharp teeth and claws in order to enable them to cleave
the flesh with sharp claws and cut the same with sharp teeth. But human teeth are blunt,
fit for fruits, grains and vegetables. Human intestines are different from those of
carnivorous animals. The intestines of human body cannot digest properly flesh of
animals. The intestines of those men who are flesh-eaters are generally weak. Those
who are addicted to flesh-eating generally fall victim to diseases like cancer, gastric
ulcers, paralysis, high blood-pressure, indigestion, gas trouble, heart-trouble, kidney
trouble etc. The flesh-eaters no longer enjoy longevity. The germs that stick to the
slaughtered animals are being devoured by flesh-eaters with the result that they fall
victim to those diseases in which the slaughtered animals were involved. Tuberculosis is
the most common disease among animals especially cattle. Besides, flesh-food consists
of unexcreted waste material of the butchered animal. When animal is slaughtered, the
decomposing cells and partly oxidized waste matter, which are normally in the blood and
tissues of muscles, are left in the flesh. Moreover, when the excretion and circulation of
the slaughtered animal are suddenly stopped, the muscle cells which still live for some
hours, continue to produce animal poison; and since there is no circulation to throw it out,
it accumulates in the meat which is swallowed by man. Thus man invites diseases
through flesh-eating.
Diet produces great effect on man�s temperament. Non-vegetarian food makes man
lustful, revengeful, wrathful, fierce, furious, ferocious, hardhearted, savage, brutal and
barbarian; while vegetarian diet makes him kind, cool, compassionate, contented, soft,
sober, civil and serene. Flesh-eater�s heart is as hard as stone, while vegetarian�s
heart is as soft as velvet. Flesh-eater�s brains is like a furnace full of flames.
Vegetarian�s brains is like a fountain from where pleasant jets of cool water spring
forth. Flesh-eater believes in violence, destruction and devastation; while vegetarian
believes in non-violence, construction and creation. His heart throbs with warmth of
selfless love for all fellow-creatures.
He who slaughters tongue-tied dumb creatures, who are faithful friends of men, in
prosperity as well as adversity, just to fill his stomach, commits the most heinous sin
Anaagaaohtyaa vaO BaImaa kRxtyao maa naao

gaamaSvaM paur]YaM vaQaI:|
Oh violent man
It is the most heinous sin
To kill the innocent creatures,
Kill not our cows
Our horses and our men.
2. FLESH-EATING IN BIIBLE
Holy Bible does not forbid flesh-eating. According to Bible, one can eat the flesh of
ruminating animals, which have cloven (cleft or cracked) hoof and chew the cud.
141. �3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud,
among the beasts, that shall ye eat.�
- Leviticus, 11/3
The swine has cloven (cleft) hoof, but it does not chew the cud, hence its flesh is
forbidden :
142. �7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.�
- Leviticus, 11/7
Among the animals living in the waters, one can eat the flesh of the animal having fins
and scales :
143. �9. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever bath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.�
- Leviticus, 11/9
Among the fowls and creepers, one can eat the flesh of those birds and four-footed
creepers which can leap upon the earth with their legs and feet :
144. �21. Yet these may ye cat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all
four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;�
- Leviticus, 11/21
�Those who slaughter the animals should be looked upon as enemies of the whole
human race.�
13 HUMAN SACRIFICE IN BIBLE
NON-VIOLENCE IN VEDAS
1. HUMAN SACRIFICE IN BIBLE
(i) Human beings etc. once offered for sacrifice, will surely be killed
Biblical God gives clear-cut law governing human sacrifice in the Holy Bible saying
whatever is offered to God, whether it is human being or animal or field, cannot be sold,
reclaimed or recovered, it belongs to God. If an offering of a human being is made to
God, the man, who is offered to God for sacrifice, cannot be reclaimed and recovered, i.e.
he cannot be redeemed and rescued. He shall surely be sacrificed at the altar. In other
words, he shall surely be killed as an offering to God. Read the following two verses :
145. �28. Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord
of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be
sold or redeemed, every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.�
- Leviticus, 27/28
146. �29. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but
shall surely be put to death.�
- Leviticus, 27/29
The blood sacrifice in Bible infuriated George Bernard Shaw, the famous playwright,
critic and essayist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925, to such an
extent that he declared fearlessly that Bible should be buried and Prayer Book should be
burnt, because it is saturated with blood sacrifice beyond all possible revision. He states :
�No longer ago than the end of the nineteenth century Stewart Headlam, a clergyman,
got into trouble with his ecclesiastical superiors by saying that what the Church needs is
to bury the Bible for a hundred years, and let it then be discovered for what it really is. I
cannot agree that we should bury the Bible only; we should burn the Prayer Book also.
It is saturated with blood sacrifice beyond all possible revision; and its constant
reiteration of �through Jesus Christ our Lord� grows more and more unbearable by its
essential falsehood.�88
- George Bernard Shaw
I earnestly appeal to the educated Christians of the world to ponder over the afore-
mentioned divine canon in connection with human sacrifice and give their frank opinion
whether the said verses in Bible make them religious or irreligious. George Bernard
Shaw has given his frank opinion in this connection as under :
�The Bible in its canonical aspect is not helping us; it is obstructing us and making us
dangerously irreligious.�89

(ii) Offering of all first-born babies into fire
There is a mention of �an offering of all first-born, which open the womb, into the
fire� in the following verse of Holy Bible :
147. �26. And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass
through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the
end that they might know that I am the Lord.�
- Ezekiel, 20/26
One shudders to read that all first-born babies were thrown into fire as an offering to
Biblical God !
(iii) Offering of calves and first-born human babe
Holy Bible makes mention of �burnt offerings� with calves of a year old, thousands of
rams and first-born human babe, as an atonement for �the sin of soul� in the following
two verses
148. �6. Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high
God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?�
- Micah, 6/6
149. �7. Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of
rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for
the sin of my soul?�
- Micah, 6/7
(iv) Jephthah burnt his only daughter, as an offering to God
In obedience to this law of Biblical God, Jephthah, the victorious hero of war, burnt his
daughter When Jephthah returned to his home Mizpeh, his daughter came out to receive
him by playing timbrel and dancing. She was his only child. When Jephthah saw her, he
tore his clothes in agnoy and said to her, �Alas ! Oh my daughter ! You have put me to
trouble ! I have given a word to God. I cannot go back.� The daughter replied to her
father, �If you have given a word to the Lord, do to me in accordance with your word
given to God, and fulfil your vow to make an offering of me to your Lord.� Here are the
two verses in this connection
150. �35. And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said,
Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that
trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.�
- Judges, 11/35
151. �36. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the
Lord, do to me according to that which bath proceeded out of thy mouth;��
- Judges, 11/36
Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher, opines about the Christian religion as
depicted in the afore-mentioned verses as under :
�We shall either die because of our religion, or religion will die because of us.�90
- Friedrich Nietzsche
(v) David sacrificed seven sons of Saul to stop famine
There was a famine during the regime of king David for three consecutive years. David
enquired of the Lord regarding the cause of famine. The Lord answered that none but
Saul was responsible for famine, because it was he who slew the Gibeonites. The king
David handed over seven children of Saul into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them on the hill before the Lord�� Thereafter God stopped famine and
bestowed bliss on the land. In this connection, the readers are requested to peruse all the
fourteen verses of chapter 21 of II Samuel. Here I am presenting only three verses as
under :
152. �1. Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year;
and David inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his
bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.�
- II Samuel, 21/1
153. �6. Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up
unto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, whom the Lord did choose. And the king said, I
will give them.�
- II Samuel, 21/6
154. �9. And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites and they hanged
them in the hill before the Lord; and they fell all seven together, and were put to
death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.�
- II Samuel, 21/9
Here a question arises : What offence did seven innocent children commit that they-were
hanged together ? Was it justified to put them to death to stop famine ?
(vi) Biblical God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son
Biblical God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac, and Abraham was
ready to take the knife to slay his son. The order was revoked, but the text of Holy Bible
led later on hundreds of gullible followers to commit murder of their innocent children. I
am presenting here only three relevant verses as under
155. �2. And he (God) said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering
upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.�
- Genesis, 22/2
156. �10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his
son.�
- Genesis, 22/10
157. �13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and
offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.�
- Genesis, 22/13
Will the sacrifice of the innocent dumb rain at the altar satisfy God, who is kind Father of
not only men but also animals ?
2. NON-VIOLENCE IN VEDAS
Vedic religion (Hindu religion) revolves round the axis of non-violence. AihMsaa
parmaao Qama-: (non-violence is the supreme religion) is the motto of
Vedic philosophy. Holy Vedas do not approve of violence. Sacrifice of human beings or
animals at the altar or in the fire is abhorrent and abominable in Vedic religion. Vedic
philosophy is based on compassion and kindness, service and sympathy. The heart of
Vedic devotee always throbs with warmth of selfless love and compassion for all fellow-
creatures. He cannot dream of killing any one, whether man or animal, as an offering at
the altar of God. Vedic God is too compassionate to accept human sacrifice or offering of
animals. True prayer lies in love for all fellow-beings, whether men or birds or
beasts. He, who loves and serves his fellow-creatures, serves God, because God
dwells in the hearts of all creatures. To slay any being who breathes on the earth
amounts to slaying Supreme Being, though He is Imperishable and Invincible.
To live is to give - give what ? Love. To live is to love. To love man is to love God.
Where there is love and compassion, there God dwells. If you expect mercy and love
from God, love His human beings whether they are theists or atheists, black or brown,
rich or poor. The mystic poet William Blake expresses the same idea in his poem, �The
Divine Image� :
�And all must love the human form

In heathen, Turk, or Jew
Where Mercy, Love and Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.�
- William Blake
According to Hindu (Vedic) philosophy, neither violence nor warfare, but welfare of
mankind is the ultimate goal of religion. That is why Hindus pray to Providence for the
well-being of all men of the earth - nay, all creatures :
yaid naao gaM hMisa yaVEvaM yaid

paUr]Yama\ |
taM tvaa saIsaona ivaGyaamaao yaqaa
naao#saao AvaIrha ||
If thou slayest
Our cows, horses and men,
We shall kill thee
With bullet of lead
So that thou shouldst not be
Slayer of our heroes.
- Atharva Veda, 1/16/4
Butchery of men and animals is strictly prohibited in Vedic religion. It is considered as

the most heinous sin and unpardonable crime. That is why a very severe warning is given
in Atharva Veda to the butcher of cows, animals and human beings :
yaid naao gaM hMisa yaVEvaM yaid

paUr]Yama\ |
taM tvaa saIsaona ivaGyaamaao yaqaa
naao#saao AvaIrha ||
If thou slayest
Our cows, horses and men,
We shall kill thee
With bullet of lead
So that thou shouldst not be
Slayer of our heroes.
�Swaraj (self-rule) without cow-protection is meaningless to me.�
- M.K. Gandhi

14 STRAIN OF CANNIBALISM IN BIBLE,

PURITY IN VEDAS
1. STRAIN OF CANNIBALISM IN BIBLE
Cannibalism means �the practice of eating human flesh�. We find a strain of

cannibalism in Holy Bible. Read the following seven verses carefully :
158. �9. And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their
daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and
straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten
them.�
- Jeremiah, 19/9
159. �10. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they
were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.�
- Lamentations, 4/10
160. �28. And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This
woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my
son tomorrow.�
- II Kings, 6/28
161. �29. So we boiled my son, and did eat him; and I said unto her on the next
day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she bath hid her son.�
- II Kings, 6/29
162. �53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye cat
the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.�
- John, 6/53
163. �53. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of
thy daughters, which the Lord thy God bath given thee, in the siege, and in the
straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee;�
164. �29. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters
shall ye eat.�
- Leviticus, 26/29
2. PURITY IN VEDAS
�Return to Nature� is the motto of Holy Vedas. Vedas teach us to have natural diet,
entertain natural thoughts and perform natural deeds. Unnatural food results in unnatural
thoughts. Unnatural thoughts lead to unnatural deeds. Unnatural deeds bring unnatural
results. That is why Holy Vedas admonish us to lead natural life.
All ignoble deeds, odious and abominable actions and heinous crimes are the outcome of
vile and vicious thoughts which originate from the mind. The mind is just like a horse
whom the rider has to control by the dint of bridle. If he does not do so, the horse will go
out of his control and will lead him to wrong road. That is why Vedic devotees pray to
Almighty in the following mantra of Rig Veda, to lead their mind to correct path :
Bad`M naao Aipa vaataya mana: |

à Pgvaod, 10ó20ó1
Oh God Almighty,
Lead our mind to virtuous path.
- Rig Veda, 10/20/1
It is in the interest of man that he should curb and control his mind, which is very
powerful. If he does not conquer his mind, he will be conquered by it. Consequently his
mind, being let loose, will do havocs by means of vicious thoughts and his whole life will
be ruined. That is why Vedic devotees pray to Supreme Being to endow their mind with
pure thoughts.

This mind of mine
Which travels too far
Which is light of lights
Which wanders to far-off places
Whether I am asleep or awake,
May resolve to do
What is good and pure.
- Yajur Veda, 34/1
Salvation of soul is also impossible without purity and piety. Hence Holy Vedas teach us
to lead pure and pious life by means of natural diet, natural thoughts and natural deeds.
�My quarrel with missionaries is that they think no religion other than Christianity is
true.�
- M.K. Gandhi
15 UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN BIBLE,
SWEETNESS OF TONGUE IN VEDAS
1. UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN BIBLE
(i) Use of the word �bastard� for non-believers
According to Holy Bible, those who do not endure hardships of life treating them as a
punishment from God are bastards, and not sons. The New Testament states, �Whatever
hardships and difficulties you endure, treat them as a punishment from Father. Who is
the son whom Father does not chastise to chasten ? If you are not chastised, you are then
bastards, and not sons.� It means those who consider Christ as their Father and endure
the hardships treating them as a punishment by Father for chastening, are real sons of the
Father, while others are bastards.
165. �7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is
he whom the father chasteneth not?�
- Hebrews, 12/7
166. �8. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.�
- Hebrews, 12/8
(ii) Use of the word �dogs� for men
The New Testament states that Saint Paul writes in his letter to the Philippians, �Beware
of dogs and evil workers�� Is it parliamentary language ? Does it behove a saint to
use the word �dog� for the man, whose ideology is different ? Read the passage as it is
: 167. �2. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.�
- Philippians, 3/2
Saint Paul, who was the main promoter of Christianity in early days, was beaten thrice
with stripes and rods by the Jews and stoned too for his afore-mentioned swear Words
(obscene words). He admits in the New Testament as under :
168. �24. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.�
- II Corinthians, 11/24
169. �25. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned,��
- II Corinthians, 11/25
2. SWEETNESS OF TONGUE IN VEDAS
Holy Vedas preach �purity of speech� and �sweetness of tongue�. Loving and
affectionate heart pours sweetness through its tongue wherever it goes. By the dint of
sweet words one can conquer thousands of hearts. Thus little tongue can achieve big
results. It elevates man to honoured position, when it makes use of honeyed words. It
degrades man to the lowest position of shame and meanness, when it bursts into vile
words. Vedas give message of love, peace and sweetness. Sweetness of tongue may be
compared to an ambrosia or soothing balm, which possesses healing power. It can heal
the wounds. Bitter words may be compared to a poison which kills, or a fire which
bums. Sweetness of tongue costs nothing but buys everything. By spending nothing, it
buys and befriends hundreds of hearts. It transforms f6e into friend and pessimist into
optimist. It works wonders and achieves miracles. Here is Vedic prayer elucidating the
same point
ija=ayaa Agaò maQau mao ija=amaUlao

maQaUlakxma\ |
mamaodh Útaavasaao mama
ica<amaupaayaisa ||
May the tip of my tongue
Be sweet as honey,
May the root of my tongue
Be sweet as honey,
O Supreme Sovereign of sweet world,
May all my deeds
Be full of sweetness, May my mind
Be full of sweetness
�Culture is basically social in character. It is through culture that the soul of a society
manifests itself. It is through Dharma that culture functions.�

16 UNSCIENTIFIC TEACHINGS IN BIBLE,
SCIENTIFIC TRUTH IN VEDAS
1. UNSCIENTIFIC TEACHINGS IN BIBLE
(i) The sky has windows
The sky is nothing but a vacuum. It does not have windows. But Holy Bible states that
the windows of sky were opened
170. �11. In the six hundredth year of Noah�s life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the Mountains of the great deep
broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.�
- Genesis, 7/11
No scientist will agree to the above text.
(ii) The earth has foundations, pillars and four corners!
According to Biblical Geography (Social Science), the earth has foundations, pillars and
four corners ! Read the following three verses :
The Earth has foundations :
171. �5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for
ever.�
- Psalms, 104/5
The Earth has pillars :
172. �8�� for the pillars of the earth are the Lord�s, and he bath set the world
upon them.�
- I Samuel, 2/8
The Earth has four corners :
173. �1. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the
earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.�
- Revelation, 7/1
(iii) The sun, not the earth, moves !
Joshua commanded the sun to standstill and not the earth. This is Biblical Science ! The
following passage indicates that Joshua stops the sun and the moon :
174. �13. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had
avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a
whole day.�
- Joshua, 10/13
All the educated people of the world know today that the sun never moves, it is the earth
that revolves. When Copernicus declared this scientific truth for the first time, the
clergymen raised hues and cries against the learned scientist calling him atheist, because
he contradicted Holy Bible. Consequently he was humiliated and tortured. Martin
Luther, the German religious reformer who was the founder of the Protestant
Reformation, commented upon the Copernicus theory as under :
�The fool (Copernicus) wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy. But sacred
Scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.�
- Martin Luther
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru writes in his �Glimpses of World History� :
�Giordano Bruno, an Italian, was burnt in Rome by the Church in 1600for insisting
that the earth went round the sun.�91
- Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

James A. Haught states in his book, �Holy Horrors� :
�At Alexandria in 415, the great woman scientist Hypatia, head of Alexandria Library,
was beaten to death by monks and other followers of St Cyril, who viewed her science
much as the church later viewed Galileo�s.�92
- James A. Haught
While commenting upon Biblical Science, George Bernard Shaw, the famous
playwright, critic and essayist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925,
observes :
�Bible is hopelessly pre-evolutionary; its descriptions of the origin of life and morals
are obviously fairy tales; its astronomy is terracentric; its notions of the starry universe
are childish; its history is epical and legendary: in short, people whose education in
these departments is derived from the Bible are so absurdly misinformed as to be unfit for
public employment, parental responsibility, or the franchise.�93
In modern scientific era, educated Christian missionaries feel ashamed to give any
publicity to the afore-mentioned verse of the Holy Bible.
In spite of the fact that Holy Bible is replete with erroneous and unscientific statements,
the Christians claim that it is authority on each and every matter of the earth and anything
can be proved from the Holy Book. In this connection Thomas Paine, great thinker of
American Revolution, observes :
�It has often been said that anything may be proved from the Bible, but before anything
can be admitted as proved by the Bible, the Bible itself must be proved to be true; for if
the Bible be not true, or the truth of it be doubtful, it ceases to have authority, and cannot
be admitted as proof of anything.�94
- Thomas Paine
Antonio Fogazzaro, the renowned Italian novelist, observes :
�The Catholic Church, calling herself the fountain of truth, today opposes the search
after truth, when her foundations, the sacred books, the formulae of her dogmas, her
alleged infallibility, become objects of research to us, this signifies that she no longer has
faith in herself.�95
- Antonio Fogazzaro
According to George Bernard Shaw, the fundamentalist clergymen are the worst
enemies of religion, and the Holy Bible, in spite of being the work of many highly gifted
authors and translators, is a jumble of savage superstitions. He states :
�It is time to tell our Fundamentalists bluntly that they are the worst enemies of religion
today; that Jehovah is no God, but a barbarous tribal idol,. that the English Bible,
though a masterpiece of literary art in its readable parts, and, being the work of many
highly gifted authors and translators, is yet a jumble of savage superstition, obsolete
cosmology, and a theology presented in such an unbalanced one-sided way, that the first
Christian Catholic Church forbade the laity to read the Bible without special
permission.�96
According to George Bernard Shaw, Bible-educated man is ignoramus. He opines :
�It is the Bible-educated human who is now the ignoramus. If you doubt it, try to pass
an examination for any practical employment by giving Bible answers to the
examiners� questions. You will be fortunate if you are merely plucked and not certified
as a lunatic.�97

(iv) Is disease caused by devil ?
According to Jesus, disease is caused by devil. If the devil is removed from body of sick
man, he becomes all right. The New Testament of Holy Bible narrates that Jesus Christ
removed devil from the body of a man in synagogue :
175. �33. And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean
devil, and cried out with a loud voice.�
- Lake, 4/33
176. �35. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him
not.�
- Luke, 4/35
Here is another verse indicating that disease is caused by devil, and Jesus Christ healed
many patients by removing devils from their bodies :
177. �34. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many
devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.�
- Mark, 1/34
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of America, states
�The gospel history of Jesus consists of a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things

impossible, of superstitions, fanaticism, and fabrications.�98
- Thomas Jefferson
(v) Can a sick be cured by priest or doctor ?
If there is any sick among you, you need not call for a physician. A true Christian calls
for �the elders of the Church�; because according to Holy Bible, the elders of the
Church, (not doctor) will cure the sick. Here is a precept in the New Testament :
178. �14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let
them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;�
- James, 5/14
If the elders of the church can cure any sick man by anointing him with oil, then all
hospitals must be closed, and all qualified doctors should change their profession and
learn to become churchmen. Alas ! this unscientific teaching has caused innumerable
deaths in the families of the illiterate gullible people.
Today educated people fully know that a disease is not caused by devil and it can be
cured only by doctors, not by the elders of the church. Had the sick man been cured by
�the elders of the church�, Christian missionaries would not have established hospitals
with qualified doctors. Their own action in establishing the hospitals contradicts the
precept of the Holy Bible.
2. SCILENTIFIC TRUTH IN VEDAS
(i) The earth, not the sun, moves
Holy Vedas, in spite of being the most ancient scriptures, are in complete harmony with
modern science. Brown, the Western scholar, opines :
�Vedas paint the picture of scientific religion, where religion and science clap together.
Vedas are based on religion, science and philosophy.�
- Brown
We find scientific truth in Yajur Veda so far as motion of the earth, (not the sun as in Holy
Bible) is concerned
AayaM gaaO: paRiSnark`xmaIdsadna\ maatarM

paur: |
ipatar ca pa`yantsva: ||
à yajauvao-d 3ó6
The Earth with all its waters
Revolves round the sun.
Or
The Earth revolves

With its mother water In its orbit,
The Earth revolves
Around its father, the Sun.
- Yajur Veda 3/6
Mrs. Wheeler Willax, an eminent American writer, states:

�We have all heard and read about the ancient religion of India. It is the land of the
great Vedas, the most remarkable works containing not only religious ideals for a perfect
life, but also facts which all the science has since proved true. Electricity, Radium,
Electrons, Airships, all seem to be known to the seers who found the Vedas.�
- Mrs. Wheeler Willax

(ii) Disease is cured by medicines, not by priest
Holy Vedas do not approve of unscientific statement that disease is caused by devils.
Only illiterate superstitious people believe in such unscientific teachings. Disease is
caused due to infection (bacteria virus), unhygienic diet, pollution of air and
contamination of water etc.
In ancient times, even the civilised nations of the world used to seek guidance in
connection with art of healing from the Hindus who were called the Aryans during the
days of yore. The Western physicians have now begun to realise the detrimental
reactions of allopathy. They have started appreciating the efficacy of �Nature Cure�
and Ayurvedic medicines mentioned in Holy Vedas.
(iii) Nature cure
The cure of all diseases whether they are physical, mental, ethical and spiritual, lies in
nature. Separation from nature results in decay and death, while communion with her
brings harmony and hilarity. �Return to Nature� or �Acquire knowledge of nature�
is the axis round which philosophy of Vedas revolves. Unnatural modes of medicines
cause great harms. Hence Vedic religion pleads for nature cure. Elements of nature
possess great powers to cure the most chronic diseases. On the surface of the earth or
beneath the water, God Almighty has created most useful herbs which are panacea for all
sorts of diseases. Man, being frail creature, having limited knowledge, is unaware of the
precious uses of elements of nature. The diseases can be cured by water, earth, air, fire
and sunshine. These are the chief elements of nature. Vedas encourage and inspire man
to explore and acquire the knowledge of nature cure.

Ye learned men,
Acquire knowledge of nature cure,
Beneath the waters lies fluid
That cures aft fatal diseases.
The water possesses power
To cure all maladies,
Acquire this knowledge and power
For leading life of vigour and virtues
- Rig Veda 1/23/19
Here is mantra of Sam Veda elucidating the advantages of the rays of the sun :
ApaamaIvaamapa is~aQamapa saoQata duma-
itama\ |
Aaidtyaasaao yauyaaotanaa naao Ahsa: ||
à saamavaod 397
The solar rays drive away diseases
Dispel malignant thoughts
And keep us away from sins.
- Sam Veda 397
(iv) Ayurvedic medicines
Ayurveda is the foundation stone of the ancient medical science of Aryavarta. It is

considered by some scholars as Upaveda consisting of supplementary hymns illustrating
the definite properties and uses of drugs and medicinal plants. The earliest description of
medicinal plants and their precious uses is to be found in Rig Veda which is the oldest
scripture in the world.
Bharat is an emporium of medicinal plants, herbs and shrubs. Approximately more than
seventy five per cent of drugs described in the British pharmacopoeia grow in India in a
state of nature. Professor Greenish of the London School of Pharmacy rightly remarked,
�India, owing to the remarkable variations she possesses of climate, attitude and soil, is
in a position to produce successfully every variety of medical herbs required by
Europe.�
The pharmacists and physicians of the West have now begun to realise that indigenous
herbs of India penetrate and probe into the root of the disease and cure the patient
permanently. It was proclaimed with confidence by the ancient Indian physicians in
Vedic era. The following mantra of Rig Veda bears testimony to it
yasyaaOYaQaI pa`sapa-qaaD:gamaD:\ga
par]Ypar]: |
tataao yaXamaM iva baaQaQva {gaào
maQyamaSaIirva ||
The medicinal herbs
Penetrate and get diffused
Into all limbs and joints of the sick
And like a sharp and strong moderator
Destroy his disease.
- Rig Veda 10/97/12
Joccolliot, the famous writer of the West, opines candidly
�Astonishing fact. The Hindu Revelation (the Veda) is of all revelations the only one
whose ideas are in perfect harmony with modern science.�
- Joccolliot
�Society must be moulded to truth. Truth has not to adjust itself to society.�
- Swami Vivekananda

17 BIBLE PREACHES UNTRUTH,
VEDAS PREACH TRUTH
1. BIBLE PREACHES UNTRUTH
St. Paul, the apostle of Christ, fearlessly justifies his lie (falsehood) in the New
Testament by saying that if his lie (falsehood) enhances the glory and truthfulness of
God, he must resort to it and he should not be judged as a sinner. Read the following
verse :
179. �7. For if the truth of God bath more abounded through my lie unto his glory;
why yet am I also judged as a sinner?�
- Romans, 3/7
While commenting on the above verse Rupert Hughes, the famous writer and
philosopher, opines :
�I do not believe telling lies for the gloy of God� The Bible in itself destroys the claim
of God�s omnipotence.�99
- Rupert Hughes
There is another instance of promoting untruth. Biblical God himself sent an angel to be
a lying spirit in the mouth of the prophets to persuade Ahab to go to Ramoth-gilead.
Micaiah said, �Listen to the word of God. I saw God sitting on his throne. All the
angels of heaven stood by Him on his right and left. God said, �Who will persuade
Ahab to go to Ramoth-gilead so that he may be killed there ?� Some said something,
while others said other thing. In the meanwhile, a spirit came, stood before God and said,
�I will persuade Ahab.� God asked him, �How will you do so ?� The spirit replied,
�I will go there and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.� God said,
�You will be able to persuade Ahab, hence you may go and do so.� Thus Biblical God
permitted the angel to become a lying spirit. In other words, God of Bible gave His
consent to the angel to tell a lie. Here is the Biblical text
180. �19. And he (Micaiah) said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw
the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his
right hand and on his left.�
- I Kings, 22/19
181. �20. And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall
at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that
manner.�
- I Kings, 22/20
182. �21. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will
persuade him.�
- I Kings, 22/21
183. �22. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth,
and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.�
- I Kings, 22/22
G.W. Foote and J.M. Wheeler state in their book, �Crimes of Christianity� as under :
�During many centuries, indeed for more than a thousand years, the Christian Church
lied for the glory of God without shame or compunction. Whatever promoted its
reputation and power was deemed both necessary and honourable. Frauds were
praiseworthy, if they were pious; and in the words of Mosheim, those who wished to shine
forth most eminently as true Christians �deemed it a pious act to employ deception and
fraud in support of piety.� �100
- G.W. Foote and J.M. Wheeler

Rupert Hughes, famous writer and philosopher of the West, states
�I quit (going to Church) because I came to believe that what is preached in the
churches is mainly untrue and unimportant, tiresome, hostile to genuine progress, and in
general not worth while.�101
- Rupert Hughes
2. VEDAS PREACH TRUTH
Holy Vedas preach nothing but truth, which is defined as universal law of nature or voice
of conscience or divine voice.
Ptasya paqaa paòta |

à yajauvao-d 7ó45
Tread on the path of truth.
- Yajur Veda 7/45
The path of truth ensures peace and prosperity, happiness and hilarity, enjoyment and
ecstasy, glory and grandeur. It enables its pursuers to dominate over those who tread the
path of untruth. because truth triumphs over untruth in the long run.
Ptasya gaaopaa na dBaaya sauÚtau: |

à Pgvaod 9ó73ó8
The noble soul who pursues
The path of truth
Is never defeated.
- Rig Veda 9/73/8
The course of truth is flawless, devoid of frights and fears, doubts and disbeliefs. It is
open to scrutiny at all times. It can face challenge of tests and trials from all quarters.
That is why Vedas advise and admonish the people to watch and witness the path of truth
which is followed by the righteous.
Ptasya panqaamanau paSya saaQvaiD:garsa: saukRxita
yaona yainta |
Observe minutely the path of truth

Which is trodden by the enlightened sages. - Atharva Veda 18/4/3
�If we achieve independence with elimination of Hindu society and Hindu culture from
the country, it will not be called independence of Hindustan, and the value of such
independence will be zero.�
- Dr. K.B. Hedgewar

18 BIBLE CONDEMNS KNOWLEDGE,
WISDOM AND PHILOSOPHY, VEDAS PROMOTE THEM
1. BIBLE CONDEMNS KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND PHILOSOPHY
(i) Bible condemns knowledge
184. �17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
it:��
- Genesis, 2/17
(ii) Bible condemns wisdom
185. �19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God��
(iii) Bible condemns philosophy
186. �8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy��
- Colossians, 2/8
It is an admitted fact that knowledge as well as wisdom acquired through knowledge, and
philosophy create power of reasoning which enables man to distinguish between right
and wrong, good and bad, truth and untruth. But followers of Holy Bible condemn
reason. Martin Luther said :
�Reason should be destroyed in all Christians.�

- Martin Luther
Pope Gregory I, Gregory the Great, opposed the study of grammar. He also condemned
education for all but the clergy as folly and wickedness. He forbade laymen to read even
the Bible. He had the library of the Palatine Apollo burned �lest its secular literature
distracts the faithful from the contemplation of heaven.�102
Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for
literature in 1950, corroborates the afore-mentioned statement by his observation as under
:
�Pope Gregory, the Great wrote to a certain bishop a letter beginning: �A report has
reached us which we cannot mention without a blush, that thou expoundest grammar to
certain friends.� The bishop was compelled by pontifical authority to desist from this
wicked labour, and Latinity did not recover until the Renaissance.�103
- Bertrand Russell
It is astonishing that the Catholic Church vehemently opposed even the translation of
Bible from Latin to English. William Tyndale, who translated the New Testament in
English secretly, was strangled and burned. James A. Haught states in this connection
as under :
�The Catholic Church decreed that the Bible could be printed only in Latin, restricting
it to priests and scholars. Printing it in a common language for common people was
punishable by death. In England in the 1520s, William Tyndale sought permission to
translate the New Testament into English so that �every plowboy� might read it. The
request put his life in danger, and he fled to Lutheran territory in Germany. He
completed translation and smuggled copies back to England - where they were seized
and burned by Catholic bishops. Tyndale eventually was captured in Antwerp by
Catholic authorities, who tried him for heresy and had him strangled and burned.�104
- James A. Haught
2. VEDAS PROMOTE KNOWLEDGE
Vedic slogan is �bliss through knowledge�. Holy Vedas lay emphasis on learning
knowledge. There is no limit of age to seek knowledge. The whole world is a vast
school where man learns from cradle to crevice. Those who do not endeavour to seek
knowledge are like stagnant water that stinks. He who is devoid of knowledge not only
embitters his own life but also that of others. He who seeks knowledge is endowed with
divine bliss. He enjoys not only himself but also makes others enjoy the fruit of
knowledge which is as sweet as nectar. That is why Vedas instruct man to attain bliss
through knowledge
ivaVyaamaRtaSnautao |
à yajauvao-d 40ó14
Through knowledge
Immortal bliss is attained.
- Yajur Veda 40/14
Holy Vedas emphasise on purification through knowledge. Vedas preach progressive

thoughts. They emphasise on that knowledge which elevates and ennobles, illuminates
and enlightens man. The aim and object of acquiring knowledge is to purge the inner self
of dross and dirt and purify the mind. Just as when impurities of gold are burnt in fire, it
begins to glitter; so does true knowledge, having burnt the imperfections and impurities,
flaws and follies of man, make him shine. That is why Vedas urge upon man to seek that
knowledge which may purge and purify him.
paavakxa na: sarsvataI |

à Pgvaod 1ó3ó10
The true knowledge
Purifies us.
- Rig Veda 1/3/10
Holy Vedas have always been a source of inspiration and enthusiasm to the scientists,
researchists, discoverers and explorers. They inspire man to set sails on the surface of the
sea to discover new regions, to dive deep into the ocean to find unfathomable depths full
of jewels and diamonds, to fly into the ethereal spheres to explore new horizons in quest
of knowledge, wisdom, philosophy, power and beauty. Modern explorations in space as
well as ocean are advised to man by holy vedas.

it is preached by some great leader. Test its truth on the touchstone of your intellectual
discrimination.� - Dr. K.B. Hedgewar

19 BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF DAMNATION,

VEDIC DOCTRINE OF SALVATION
1. BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF DAMNATION FOR NON-CHRISTIANS
(i) Non-believers fit to be burnt in fire
Jesus says in New Testament �He who does not seek shelter in me, will be thrown like a
withered branch of tree fit to be burnt in fire.�
187. �6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and
men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.�
- John, 15/6
Is it not fundamental right of man to have freedom of worship ? If it is so, why fire for
him who does not seek shelter in Christ ? Will the Christian members of Human Rights
Commission agree to the afore-mentioned declaration of Jesus Christ ?
James Madison, the fourth President of U.S.A., opines candidly :
�What have been Christianity�s fruits ? Superstition, bigotry and persecution.�105
- James Madison
(ii) Christ�s doctrine of damnation for disbelievers
Are there holy persons only among Christians ? Are there no noble persons among non-
Christians ? Is it fair to say that only Christians deserve salvation, while others, who do
not believe in tenets of Christianity, deserve damnation ? Here is the declaration of Christ
in the New Testament :
188. �16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned.�
- Mark, 16/16
189. �33. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?�
- Matthew, 23/33
Thus Jesus Christ prescribes damnation i.e. hell for non-believers. Is it not vindictive
fury against those who did not listen to his preaching ? Bertrand Russell, the renowned
philosopher, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1950, opines :
�There is one very serious defect to my mind in Christ�s moral character, and that is
that He believed in hell. I do not myself feel that any person who is really profoundly
humane can believe in everlasting punishment. Christ certainly as depicted in the
Gospels did believe in everlasting punishment, and one does find repeatedly a vindictive
fury against those people who would not listen to His preaching.�106
- Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell goes to the extent of doubting the existence of Jesus Christ. He writes
:
�Historically it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do
not know anything about Him,��107
- Bertrand Russell
There are good as well as bad persons in all communities. Will bad-charactered vicious
persons, who believe in the tenets of Christianity, also attain salvation ? Will good-
charactered virtuous persons, who do not believe in Christian dogmas, be damned for
ever ? You will be utterly astonished to read what Martin Luther, (c-1483-1546), the
German religious reformer who was the founder of the Protestant Reformation, observed
in �Table Talk� in this connection. He says :
�He that says the gospel requires work for salvation, I say flat and plain he is a liar. If
men only believe enough in Christ, they can commit adultery, and murder a thousand
times a day without periling their salvation.�108
- Martin Luther
It is a matter of immense astonishment and agony that in spite of afore-mentioned

quotations, Christian missionaries do not believe that �all religions lead to the same
goal� or �all religions are true�. They believe that only their religion is true, while
other religions are false.
(iii) Salvation is possible only through Christ
One finds monopoly of salvation in Holy Bible. Jesus Christ declares in the New
Testament that only he, none else, is the door through which one can enter the kingdom
of God. He goes to the extent of saying that those (prophets) who came before him were
thieves and robbers. Read the following seven verses :
190. �7. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the
door of the sheep.�
- John, 10/7
191. �8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did
not hear them.�
- John, 10/8
192. �9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in
and out, and rind pasture.�
- John, 10/9
193. �6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.�
- John, 14/6
194. �25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth
in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:�
- John, 11/25
195. �26. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die, Believest thou
this?�
- John, 11/26
196. �30. He that is not with me is against me.�
- Matthew, 12/30
In contrast to the afore-mentioned verses of Holy Bible, �Shrimad Bhagavad Gita�
says :
yao#pyanyadovataa Ba>xa yajantao
Ea`wyaainvataa: ||

Those who worship other gods
With devotion, worship me.
- Gita 9/23
(iv) No salvation for rich men

According to New Testament a rich man cannot enter the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ
declares unambiguously as under:
197. �23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily 1 say unto you, That a rich man
shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.�
- Matthew, 19/23
198. �24. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.�
- Matthew, 19/26
The afore-mentioned two verses state categorically that the rich men have no hope for
salvation at all. Do the rich men of Europe and America believe in the above two
verses ? If yes, they are sure to be doomed; or they may either try to become poor or
search for another religion. because Christianity has closed the door of heaven for them.
2. VEDIC DOCTRINE OF SALVATION FOR ALL VIRTUOUS PEOPLE
Holy Vedas never state that salvation can be achieved only by Hindus. When the divine
knowledge of Holy Vedas, Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda and Sam Veda, dawned
on four Rishis (hermits) named Agni, Vayu, Aditya and Angira in the beginning of die
universe, there were neither Hindus, nor Muslims, neither Christians nor Jews on the
earth. These labels were given to men of the earth later on. Thus according to Vedas,
salvation is not the monopoly of one particular community. Vedas, though revealed in the
hearts of the aforementioned Rishis on the banks of the river Sindhu (Indus) in
Aryavarta (Bharat), do not belong to one country or one community. Holy Vedas are
the unique immortal heritage of mankind belonging to the whole universe. Vedic
religion is the religion of humanity.
Vedas state categorically that salvation is achieved by those who perform selfless noble
deeds in accordance with eternal and unerroneous doctrine of truth as enunciated in
Vedas, without being attached to the fruits or rewards of their actions. Thus Vedic
religion is based on �doctrine of Karma�. He whose karma (actions) are pure and
pious, deserves salvation (Mukti or Mokhsha), irrespective of his caste, colour, creed,
community and country. Yajur Veda bears testimony in the following mantra :
Ak`xna\ kxma- kxma-kRxta: sah vaacaa

mayaaoBauvaa |

à yajauvao-d 3ó47
He who performs selfless action
Accompanied by auspicious words
Full of truth, joy and sweetness
In the atmosphere of mutual co-operation
Reaches the goal.
- Yajur Veda 3/47
The same precept is given in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita

tasmaadsa> : satataM kxaya- kxma- samaacar

Therefore, man should perform deed,

He attains the Supreme.

20 DOCTRINE OF �BE GOOD, DO GOOD� IN
BOTH VEDAS AND BIBLE
1. DOCTRINE OF �BE GOOD, DO GOOD� IN VEDAS
Vedic philosophy does not revolve round long lessons and lengthy sermons of empty
idealism. It urges on practical life. Vedas teach man to lead practically pure and pious
life full of philanthropy and fellow-feeling, benefaction and benevolence. This is the
only way to salvation. �Be good and do good� is the gist of Vedic philosophy. He
who recites with tongue holy mantras of Vedas and performs religious rituals and
ceremonies, but himself does not lead pious life, nor is he good to others, is like a man
who ploughs the field but does not sow. He who, besides reciting the religious theories
and doctrines, puts them into practice in daily life, is like a man who not only ploughs
and sows the fields but also reaps the harvest. An ounce of action is better than a pound
of sermons.
Vedas, being practical guide to mankind, emphasise upon noble life and noble actions.
Sauwa: paUtaa Bavata yai&ayaasa: |
à Pgvaod 10ó18ó2
Be pure and pious
O worshippers !
- Rig Veda 10/18/2
The doctrine of �be good, do good� is based on the �doctrine of truth�. In modern
era of reasoning and rationalism various people debate as to what is good and what is
bad. Their problem is how to distinguish good from bad, true from untrue, right from
wrong. The best method of judging a thing whether it is good or bad, true or untrue, right
or wrong is to apply the principle to one�s own self. Do to others as you wish it to be
done to you by others. If you want others not to take away your life, you should also not
take away the life of any creature. Is it not a matter of fantastic irony that on one h and
you expect God to be merciful to you, while on another hand you fail to show mercy to
the creatures of the same Lord ? God has provided everyman with the best adviser called
conscience. When a man does ignoble deed, his conscience pricks and pinches him,
notwithstanding the fact that satanic elements within him try utmost to stifle the voice of
conscience. The voice of conscience is the voice of truth which is another name of
religion. The religion which is not based on truth, cannot be called religion. The
following quotation of Mahabharat categorically corroborates the statement :
Qama-: sa naao ya~a na satyamaista |

à mahaBaarta
The religion which is devoid of truth, is not religion at all.
- Mahabharat
Vedic religion preaches and precepts nothing but truth which is defined as universal law
of nature or voice of conscience or divine voice.
Ptasya paqaa paòta |

à yajauvao-d 7ó45
Tread on the path of truth.
- Yajur Veda 7/45
2. DOCTRINE OF �BE GOOD, DO GOOD� IN BIBLE
(i) Treat others as you wish to be treated by others

Jesus Christ says :
199. �12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
ye even so to them: for this is the law of the prophets.�
- Matthew, 7/12
What a fine piece of sermon it is ! I like it most. But men are known by what they do, not
by what they say. During their four hundred years� reign of terror and tyranny in Goa,
the Christian rulers captured Hindu women from their houses and raped them, and then
burnt them alive. Their children were sold as slaves. Hindu temples were destroyed, and
in their places churches were built. If, after independence, Hindus treat them in the same
manner, would they like ? The Hindus, who are the Aryans (the noblest), would never
indulge in such barbarous activities. Is it not a matter of shame that Francis Xavier, who
was responsible for the establishment of the �Holy Inquisition of Goa�, under which
Hindu women were raped and burnt alive and Hindu temples were demolished, is
canonized as saint, and Christian schools and colleges in Bharat are established in his
name ?
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru writes about �Inquisition, the terrible weapon of Roman
Church� in his book �Glimpses of World History� as under :
�About this time, the Inquisition that terrible weapon which the Roman Church forged
to crush all who did not bow down to it, was established in Spain. Jews, who had
prospered under the Saracens, were now forced to change their religion, and many were
burnt to death. Women and children were not spared.�109
Pandit Nehru further states :
�The Church started the reign of violence in religion, formally and officially, in 1233,
by starting what is called �The Inquisition�. This was a kind of court which inquired
into the orthodoxy of people�s beliefs, and if they did not come up to the standard, their
usual punishment was death by burning. There was a regular hunt for �heretics� and
hundreds of them were burnt at the stake. Even worse than this burning was the torture
inflicted on them to make them recant. Many poor unfortunate women were accused of
being witches and were burnt.�110
�All over the country the Inquisition flourished and the most horrible tortures were
inflicted on so called �heretics�. From time to time great public festivals were
arranged when batches of these �heretics� men and women were burnt alive on huge
pyres in the presence of the king and royal family and ambassadors and thousands of
people. Autos-da-fe, acts of faith, these public burnings were called. Terrible and
monstrous all this seems. The whole history of Europe of this period is so full of violence
and horrible and barbarous cruelty and religious bigotry as to be almost
unbelievable.�111
The victims of the Holy Inquisition included Galileo who was imprisoned for life, and
another astronomer Giordano Bruno, who was burnt at the stake. It is worth noting here
that Lady Teresa justified the Inquisition of Galileo.
Sita Ram Goel quotes Colonel James Todd in his Introduction to first Indian reprint of
�Women, Church and State� authored by Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage, as under :
Commenting on the horrible atrocities-massacres of population, burning of villages,
capture of young males and females for sale as slaves, plunder of property-committed by
the Portuguese in 1532 and 1549 on Hindus living in the coastal areas of Saurashtra,
Colonel James Todd had observed :
�It would perhaps be fortunate for Christianity, if the historic muse in India were mute,
as many have endeavoured to prove her to be, since atrocities like these are alone
sufficient to have scared the Hindus from all association with her creed.�112
- Colonel James Todd
�Human soul is a free agent and is responsible for all his actions. This responsibility
cannot be shaken off by any means without repudiating the principle of justice. Hence
evil actions cannot be condoned. Man must reap as he sows. Sins cannot be forgiven.
An outside agency cannot undo the effect of sins.�

21 SERMONS OF �FORGIVENESS AND NON-
VIOLENCE� IN BOTH VEDAS AND BIBLE
1. FORGIVENESS AND NON-VIOLENCE IN VEDAS
Holy Vedas teach noble lesson of �forgiveness and non-violence�. Vedic devotee
prays to Almighty to grant life even to his enemy who hates him. He prays to Providence
not only for his well-being, but also for the prosperity of his adversary.
yaao3smaana\ WoiYT yaM vayaM iWYmastasya

Against us
And against whom
We harbour hatred;
Let him prosper
And let us also prosper;
May we be blessed with
Cattle, horses, sons, grand-sons
Home, health and wealth May all prosper !
May we also prosper
Vedic civilization is the most superb and sublime, adopting in its sphere all the persons of
the globe. It is not meant for one community or one country. It is for the whole race of
mankind. It is unique and universal civilization. That is why it is concerned with the
good of humanity at large.
savao- Bavantau sauiKana: sava- santau

savao- BadàiNa paSyantau, maa kxiEcata\

May all be happy,
May all be healthy,
May all be blessed,
May none suffer from
Miseries and misfortunes.
According to Holy Vedas, there is a pre-natal harmony, natural link and celestial
communion among all the souls. Hence Vedas instruct men not to despise one another.
He who hates another, hates himself because he finds divine manifestation in both the
souls connecting a common link between the two. That is why Vedas teach men to give
up malice and hatred.
iva WoYaaMsaInauih |
à Pgvaod 6ó10ó7
Give up hatred.
- Rig Veda 6/10/7
Here is Vedic prayer in Atharva Veda, illustrating the same point

maa naao iWXata kxEcana |
May we not hate any one.
Violence is abhorrent and abominable in Vedic religion. Vedas teach us not to kill any
being that breathes on the earth. It is a heinous sin to kill the innocent.
Anaagaaohtyaa vaO iBamaa |

It is the most heinous sin
To slay the innocent.
Blessed are the eyes that cast loving and affectionate glances at others. Cursed and
condemned be the eyes which frown and fret at others. Vedas teach that all are friendly,
none is enemy. Love begets love, hatred breeds poison. If you look at others with
friendly eye, they will return loving glances to you. Hence it is our utmost duty to create
atmosphere of fellow-feeling and friendliness, love and affection, companionship and co-
operation, equality and fraternity. Here is Vedic prayer in Yajur Veda illustrating the same
point :
_tao _q#aMh maa ima~asya caXauYaa savaa-

iNa BaUtaaina samaIXantaama\ |
ima~asyaa#hM caXauYaa savaa-iNa BaUtaaina

O Lord, firm and resolute,
Make me firm,
May all look at me
With friendly eye,
May I look at all
With friendly eye,
May all look at one another
With friendly eye.
- Yajur Veda 36/18
2. FORGIVENESS AND NON-VIOLENCE IN BIBLE
(i) If one slaps on your right cheek, give him left one also
Jesus Christ says :
200. �39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee
on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.�
- Mathew, 5/39
This is the finest piece of text for Christians in Holy Bible. I earnestly desire that all the
Christians of the world must act and behave in accordance with this sermon of Christ. If
they do so, the world will be transformed into heaven. But History bears testimony that
Christian rulers of Goa acted and behaved quite contrary to above sermon. The �Holy
Inquisition of Goa�, which was, in the words of Dr. Justice M.B. Niyogi, �unholy and
wicked institution�, perpetrated innumerable atrocities on both Christians and non-
Christians. It proved the worst of its kind, established anywhere.113
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita admonishes the Hindus to kill the evil (not innocent), while
Bible instructs the Christians in the above verse not to resist evil and give left cheek to
the man who strikes on your right cheek. Had the Hindus and the Christians acted in
accordance with the afore-mentioned respective sermon of their respective Holy Books
(Gita and Bible), the map of the world would have been different. That is, Bharat would
not have been conquered, captured and held under tyrannical yoke of slavery by the
British, and Hindu Rajya (Ram Rajya) would have been established in most of the
countries of the world. But alas ! Hindus ignored the sermon of Gita and acted in
accordance with the above sermon of Bible, while Christians ignored the said sermon of
Bible and acted according to the above sloka of Gita negatively i.e. they took sword not
only against the evil (as admonished by Gita) but also against the virtuous (i.e. followers
of Gita). It is a matter of agony, anguish and anxiety that the followers of Gita (Hindus)
became the followers of Bible, while the followers of Bible (Christians) became the
followers of Gita. In other words I may say that when Hindus gave up heroic valour, they
were trampled under the feet of foreign aggressors. What Guruji M.S. Golwalkar said
in this connection is worth quoting here :
�Without dynamic conquering spirit, even devotion to a divine cause will be of little
avail In this hard world which is an arena for trial of strength with brute forces, mere
goodness or noble virtues will not hold the field for a single moment. That is why we find
that in spite of all the piety, goodness and devotion to God all through the past thousand
years, we were trampled under the feet by foreign aggressors who, though total strangers
to goodness and virtue, had a passion for heroic action and organised effort.�114
- M.S. Golwalkar
The following two quotations of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar are eye-opener :
�So long as the whole world is unjust, we must be unjust; so long as the whole world is
aggressive, we must be aggressive.�
- Veer Savarkar
�Aggression and brute strength can only be defeated by severe aggression and
superlative brute strength.�
- Veer Savarkar
So far as the afore-mentioned quotation of Jesus Christ is concerned, 1 cannot restrain

myself from admiring it. But the same Jesus Christ advised his followers in the New
Testament to sell their garment and buy a sword.
201. �36�� and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.�
- Luke, 22/36
Christ also declared in the New Testament (Matthew, 10/34) that he has come not for
peace but to wield a sword. He also says in another chapter of the New Testament (John,
15/6) that one who does not seek shelter in him, will be thrown like a withered branch of
tree fit to be burnt in fire. Hence I come to the conclusion that the afore-mentioned
quotation of �offering left cheek to one who slaps on the right one� is meant only for
Christians while treating their co-religionists (i.e. Christians). It is not meant for non-
Christians. It is not put into action, when Christians deal with non-Christians. The other
two quotations quoted above are mostly practised while dealing with non-Christians. My
conclusion is confirmed by Jesus Christ�s doctrine of damnation for those who do not
believe in tenets of Christianity. Christ categorically says in the New Testament (Mark,
16/16) that he who believes and is baptized, shall be saved, while he who does not
believe (in Christ and Christianity) shall be damned. The Old Testament is full of
instances of damnation, death and destruction for the so called non-believers.
The Holy Bible consists of two parts : the first part is called the �Old Testament�,
which is full of instances of slaughter and massacre of innocent persons because of their
only fault that their mode of worship was different. The second part is known as the
�New Testament�. Most of the Christians base their religion (Christianity) only on the
teachings of the �New Testament� and disown the Hebrew part (the Old Testament) of
Holy Bible. If they really disown the first part of the Bible, why do they riot exclude it
from she text ? Authorised (King James) version of the Holy Bible printed in U.S.A. in
1979 contains both Old and New Testaments. All versions of Holy Bible contain both the
parts. There is a deep connection between the Old Testament and the New which, taken
together, form the complete Bible. St. Augustine corroborates it by saying :
�The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old is made manifest in the New.�
- St Augustine
Hence the Christian missionaries cannot disown the Old Testament. Moreover Jesus
Christ himself owns up and confirms the contents of the Old Testament by saying that he
came to the earth, not to destroy the laws of his predecessors but to fulfil them :
202. �17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law (Mosaic Law), or the
prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.�
- Matthew, 5/17
(ii) Pray for those who persecute you
As an impartial author, I must admit that there are good quotations also in Holy Bible.
Here I am presenting a nice quotation of Jesus Christ who precepts us to bless those who
curse you, do good to those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you. He says
:
203. �44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;�
- Matthew, 5/44
What a fine sermon it is ! I wish all Christian missionaries, all Christian countries and all
Christian ruling politicians must act in accordance with above sermon of Christ. An idea
is fine only when it is put into action. because life is made of actions, not wishful
thinking. If the actions of followers of a particular cult are quite contrary to what they
preach, what is the use of their preaching ?
It seems that Christian missionaries have ignored the aforementioned positive sermon of
Christ and have adopted and executed his negative precepts. Here is one more negative
and destructive utterance of Jesus Christ, which nullifies the above sermon. He says :
204. �27. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them,
bring hither, and slay them before me.�
-Luke, 19/27
It is astonishing that at one place (Matthew, 5/44) Jesus Christ admonishes to love and
bless your enemies and pray for them, while at another place he orders his followers to
bring those enemies, who did not wish him (Christ) to rule over them, before him and
slay them in his presence. What a contradictory statement !
If all Christians of the world-nay, all human beings of the globe, adopt and practise
Christ�s positive sermons of love, kindness and forgiveness, the earth will be
transformed into heaven. When all men and women are the sons and daughters of One
Father, why to hate and destroy one another ? Why not to love each being that breathes
on the earth ? Love is god. God is love.
205. �8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.�
- 1 John, 4/8
God loves all His children equally whether they are good or bad, virtuous or sinner. His
mercy showers on all persons irrespective of caste, colour, creed and community. He
makes the sun shine on both good persons as well as bad, and showers rain on all whether
they are just or unjust.
206. �45......... he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the just and on the unjust.�
- Matthew, 5/45
(iii) If you expect forgiveness from God, forgive your fellow-beings
Jesus Christ says :
207. �14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you:�
- Matthew, 6/14
208. �15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.�
- Matthew, 6/15
The above two verses are excellent, but the same are nullified by Christ himself when he
says in the New Testament (Matthew, 10/35) that he came to the earth to create rift
between father and son, mother and daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The
Old Testament which is owned up and confirmed by Jesus Christ goes one step further
when it admonishes �to kill your own brother, your own son, your own daughter and
your wife if they entice you to serve other gods.� (Deuteronomy, 13/6-10)
(iv) A nation shall not draw sword against a nation
Here is a very fine passage in Holy Bible which exhorts nations not to draw swords
against one another, but to beat their swords into plough shares and their spears into
pruning hooks
209. �4�� and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more.�
- Isaiah, 2/4
The above-mentioned nice sermon of non-violence is nullified by Jesus Christ�s advice

to his followers in the New Testament to buy a sword by selling their garments even, if
they have no money (Luke, 22/36). Thus Holy Bible is replete with contradictions, which
are bound to create confusions into the hearts of its followers, who will be at a loss what
to believe, what not to believe
�Aggression and brute strength can only be defeated by severe aggression and
superlative brute strength.�
- Veer Savarkar

22 WITCHCRAFT IN BIBLE, DIVINE PATH IN

VEDAS
1. WITCHCRAFT IN BIBLE
Joan of Arc was massacred as a witch. George Bernard Shaw, the renowned
playwright, critic and essayist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925,
wrote a play entitled �St. Joan�. It shook the entire Europe. G.B. Shaw himself
describes the effect of his play on a school boy as under :
�A school boy who witnessed a performance of my play St. Joan, told his schoolmaster
that he disliked Jesus and could not pray to him, but that he could pray to Joan.�115
Later on the Church had to canonize Joan of Arc. It is a matter of utter amazement and
agony that the Church first killed Joan of Arc and then canonized her. According to
Charles Smith, the editor of �Truth Seeker�, three hundred thousand persons, being
accused of witchcraft, have been killed in Europe on the basis of following Biblical verse
:
210. �18. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.�

- Exodus, 22/18
The soil of Europe is stained with innocent blood because of the afore-mentioned text.
For three centuries, witch fires burned in nearly every town of Europe, lighted by the
above text. Four hundred persons were burned at Toulouse in one day. Ms Matilda
Joslyn Gage writes :
�The Parliament of Toulouse burned 400 witches at one time. Four hundred women at
one hour on the public square, dying the horrid death of fire for a crime which never
existed save in the imagination of those persecutors and which grew in their imagination
from a false belief in woman�s extraordinary wickedness, based upon a false theory as
to original sin.�116

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru writes in his �Glimpses of World History� as under :
�Many hundreds of thousands of women are said to have been burnt in Europe as
witches, mostly by puritans.�117

The belief in witchcraft is supported by the following other passages of Holy Bible :
211. �12. And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no
more soothsayers;�
- Micah, 5/12
212. �4. Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favoured harlot, the
mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families
through her witchcrafts.�
- Nahum, 3/4
213. �27. A man also or woman that bath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall
surely he put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon
them.�
- Leviticus, 20/27
Pope John XXII formalized the persecution of witchcraft in 1320, when he authorised
the Inquisition to persecute sorcery.118
literature in 1950, states :
�� there was the Inquisition, with its tortures; there were millions of unfortunate
women burnt as witches; and there was every kind of cruelty practised upon all sorts of
people in the name of religion.�119
- Bertrand Russell
In 1484 Pope Innocent VII officially ordered pet cats to be burned together with
witches, a practice which continued throughout the centuries of witch-hunting.120
H.G. Wells, the renowned English novelist, who was father of modern science fiction,
opines fearlessly :
�Today the most evil thing in the whole world is the Roman Catholic Church.�121
- H.G. Wells
�Why Do We Not Bomb Rome ?� is the title of the first chapter of H.G. Wells�
�Crux Ansata�.122
Martin Luther, the German religious reformer and the founder of the Protestant
Reformation, being influenced by the afore-mentioned Biblical texts, declared wrathfully
:
�I would have no compassion for a witch; I would burn them all.�123

- Martin Luther
Some learned men, who believed implicitly in each word of Holy Bible, were not ready
to deny witchcraft. Sir Wm Blackstone was one of them. He said :
�To deny witchcraft is atonce flatly to contradict the revealed word of God in various
passages both of the Old and New Testaments.�
- Sir Wm Blackstone
John Wesley, the eighteenth century founder of Methodism, went to the extent of saying
:
�Giving up witchcraft is, in effect, giving up the Bible.�124
- John Wesley
Both Calvin and Knox believed that to deny witchcraft was to deny the authority of the
Bible.125
Helen Ellerbe writes in her book �The Dark Side of Christian History� as under :
�The horror of the witch hunts knew no bounds. The Church had never treated the
children of persecuted parents with compassion, but its treatment of witches� children
was particularly brutal Children were liable to be prosecuted and tortured for witchcraft:
girls, once they were nine and a half, and boys, once they were ten and a half.126 Younger
children were tortured in order to elicit testimony that could be used against their
parents.127 Even the testimony of two-year-old children was considered valid in cases of
witchcraft, though such testimony was never admissible in other types of trials.128 A
famous French magistrate was known to have regretted his leniencey when, instead of
having young children accused of witchcraft burned, he had only sentenced them to be
flogged, while they watched their parents burn.�129
- Helen Ellerbe
How many precious human lives were lost during the centuries of witch-hunting in
Europe ? Helen Ellerbe answers
�How many lives were lost during the centuries of witch-hunting will never be
known. Some members of the clergy proudly reported the number of witches they
condemned, such as the bishop of Wurtzburg who claimed 1900 lives in five years, or the
Lutheran prelate Benedict Carpzov who claimed to have sentenced 20,000 evil
worshippers.130 But the vast majority of records have been lost, and it is doubtful that
such documents would have recorded those killed outside of the courts.�131
- Helen Ellerbe
An American writer Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage writes :
�It is computed from historical records that nine millions of persons were put to death
for witchcraft after 1484, or during a period of three hundred years, and this estimate
does not include the vast number who were sacrificed in the preceding centuries upon the
same accusation. The greater number of this incredible multitude were women.�132

Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage further states :
�Massachusetts was not the only, colony that treated witchcraft as a crime. Maryland,
New Jersey and Virginia possessed similar enactments. Witchcraft was considered and
treated as a capital offense by the laws of both Pennsylvania and New York, trials taking
place in both colonies not long before the Salem tragedy......... Virginia, Delaware,
Maryland, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York,
eight of the thirteen colonies recognized witchcraft as a capital crime.�133

(i) Victimisation of witchcraft in modern
Europe It is a matter of agony and astonishment that massacring of innocent women and
men on account of suspected witchcraft is still continuing in modern scientific era in
Europe. Helen Ellerbe writes :
�While the formal persecution of witches raged from about 1450 to 1750, sporadic
killing of women oh account of suspected witchcraft has continued into recent times. In
1928 a family of Hungarian peasants was acquitted of beating an old woman to death
whom they claimed was a witch. The court based its decision on the ground that the
family had acted out of �irresistible compulsion�.134 In 1976, a poor spinster, Elizabeth
Hahn, was suspected of witchcraft and of keeping familiars, or devil�s agents, in the
form of dogs. The neighbours in her small German village ostracized her, threw rocks at
her, and threatened to beat her to death before burning her house, badly burning her and
killing her animals.135 A year later in France, an old man was killed for ostensible
sorcery.136 And in 1981, a mob in Mexico stoned a woman to death for her apparent
witchcraft, which they believed had incited the attack upon Pope John Paul II.137�138

In 1785, Thomas Jefferson, the third President of America, wrote :
�Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction o Christianity,
have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards
uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion ? To make one half of the world fools,
and the other half hypocrites. To support error and roguery all over the earth.�139
- Thomas Jefferson
(ii) Christian Congregation burnt alive two Indian girls as witches
A Christian congregation in Arunachal Pradesh tied to poles and burned alive two tribal
girls, Komai Simai and Khodang Tikhak, at the behest of a priest belonging to the Tangsa
Baptist Christian Association. The girl�s had been accused and found guilty of
practising witchcraft !140
(iii) Christianity has shed more blood than any other religion
G.W. Foote and J.M. Wheeler state in their famous book, �Crimes of Christianity� as
under :
�Although the Bible says that �God is Love�, Christianity has shed more blood and
perpetrated more cruelty than any other religion in the world.�141
- G.W. Foote and J.M. Wheeler
2. DIVINE PATH IN VEDAS
Saint Tolstoy, the Russian thinker and philosopher, states

�Vedic religion is not only the most ancient religion but also it is the most perfect one.
It occupies the first and foremost position among religions of the world.�
- Saint Tolstoy
Holy Vedas inspire men to shun devilish deeds and follow divine path. He who hurts and
harms others is a devil. He who does good to others is an angel. He who lives by
destroying others� lives is a demon. He who lives for the sake of others is a god. Devil
or demon destroys life, while an angel or god saves life. As long as men possessing
devilish or satanic hearts dwell on the earth, butcheries and blood-sheds are bound to
occur. The earth which is stained with the blood of thousands of innocent persons, will
be transformed into heaven, only when its inhabitants tread on divine path, lead godly life
and adopt angelic qualities. Vedas precept man to shun the path of devils and demons and
lead angelic life by following divine path.
Aa dovaanaamaipa panqaamaganma

Come,
Let us walk on divine path,
May we have strength
To follow divine ideals.
- Rig Veda 10/2/3
The people of Europe were groping in darkness of disbeliefs and doubts, illusions and
delusions, misgivings and misconceptions, ill-will and burning. They burnt within and
without into the flames of malice, revenge and retaliation. They failed to behold celestial
light glamouring and glittering in all hearts alike. That is why they had desecrated the
holy earth by means of their callous atrocities towards their fellow-brothers and fellow-
sisters. Vedas have beautiful prayer and precept for such people.
gaUhtaa gau=M tamaao iva yaata

à Pgvaod 1ó86ó10
Dispel horrid darkness from within,
Remove all vicious +thoughts,
And enkindle the light
We long for.
- Rig Veda 1/86/10
People lack spiritual light hence they bum within and without. Every one yearns for
light, because light is life, while darkness is death. Light is weal, darkness is woe.
Where there is light, there is heaven; where there is darkness, there is hell. Light leads to
progress, where as darkness signifies retrogress. Light is ambrosia, while darkness is
poison. That is why Atharva Veda admonishes men of the earth to come but of darkness
to light :
Aa raoh tamasaao jyaaoita : |

Rise from darkness
To shining light of spiritual lustre.
Those who give light and life to others are called gods. Those who take away the life of
others are devils. Devils are the sons of satan, while gods are the children of God. This
is illustrated by the following mantra of Yajur Veda :
tao ih pau~aasaao#Aidtao: pa` jaIvasao

matyaa-ya |
jyaaoitaya-cCntyajas~ama\ ||
à yajauvao-d 3ó33
Those are worthy sons of Supreme Being
who bestow constantly
Light and life on mortals.
- Yajur Veda 3/33
�Sinner and saint should not be given the same treatment. Give a person the treatment
which he deserves. Chastise the sinner and serve the selfless saint. Weak prefer peace,
cowards compromise.�
�If you come, with you, if you don�t come, without you, if you oppose, in spite of you,
I shall continue my task.�
- Veer Savarkar

23 BIBLE ESTABLISHES SLAVERY,

VEDAS PREACH EQUALITY AND LIBERTY
1. BIBLE ESTABLISHES SLAVERY
(i) Slaves are permanent possession to be inherited by future children

The Holy Bible not only justifies but also establishes slavery. The Biblical God
admonishes and authorises his followers to buy both bondmen and bondmaids from
among the heathens who stay around them. Biblical God goes one step further and
incites his followers to treat the bondmen and bondmaids as a permanent possession and
property to be inherited by future children ! Read the following three passages :
214. �44. Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of
the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and
bondmaids.�
- Leviticus, 25/44
215. �45. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of
them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your
land; and they shall be your possession.�
- Leviticus, 25/45
216. �46. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever��
- Leviticus, 25/46
The afore-mentioned three verses indicate categorically that followers of Bible do not
treat non-believers (heathens, pagans) as their equal brothers, but inferior men and
women fit to be permanent slaves, who can be purchased and also inherited for future
children. Will the Christian members of organisation like Human Rights Commission
approve of the above verses of Holy Bible ? If not, why do they not raise voice against
the justification and establishment of slavery and bonded labour in Holy Bible ?
literature in 1950, states :
�The Churches, as every one knows, opposed the abolition of slavery as long as they
dared, and with a few well-advertised exceptions they oppose at the present day every
movement towards economic justice. The Pope has officially condemned Socialism.�142
- Bertrand Russell
(ii) Biblical judgments regarding slaves
The Holy Bible has set some judgments regarding slaves. According to these judgments,
a Hebrew servant can be freed after he has served his master for six years. But during the
period of six years, if his master has given him a wife, and she has born him sons or
daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master�s property and he shall go out
alone by himself. Here are the six verses :
217. �1. Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.�
- Exodus, 21/1
218. �2. If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh
he shall go out free for nothing.�
- Exodus, 21/2
219. �3. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself, if he were married,

then his wife shall go out with him.�
- Exodus, 21/3
220. �4. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or
daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master�s, and he shall go out by
himself.�
- Exodus, 21/4
221. �5. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my
children; I will not go out free;�
- Exodus, 21/5
222. �6. Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to
the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an
aul; and he shall serve him for ever.�
- Exodus, 21/6
(iii) The New Testament also sanctions slavery
The following six verses of the New Testament not only advocate but also establish the
system of slavery :
223. �1. Let as many servants as are under the yoke, count their own masters
worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.�
- Timothy 1, 6/1
The readers should note the use of the words �under the yoke� which are generally
used for animals.
224. �9. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them
well in all things; not answering again;�
- Titus, 2/9
225. �10. Not purloining (stealing), but shewing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.�
- Titus, 2/10
Note the establishment of slavery in the name of �God, the Saviour�!
226. �5. Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;�
- Ephesians, 6/5
227. �6. Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing
the will of God from the heart;�
- Ephesians, 6/6
Here slaves are ordainded to serve their masters with fear and trembling, considering
themselves as the servants of Christ. Moreover, the above verse confirms slavery as
�the will of God�.
228. �18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good
and gentle, but also to the forward (perverse, difficult to deal with).�
- Peter 1, 2/18
The above verse of the New Testament ordains the slaves to serve with all fear not only
their gentle masters, but also perverse and harsh ones - that too in the name of God, the
Saviour ! With all this, will Christian missionaries boast that Christianity believes in
equality of men ?
Rev. Alexander Campbell unambiguously advocates the system of slavery and bondage
by saying that it is not immoral because it is confirmed by the Bible. He states :
�There is not one verse in the Bible inhibiting slavery, but many regulating it. It is not
then, we conclude, immoral.�143
- Alexander Campbell
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of America, opines :
�In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.�
- Thomas Jefferson
The French Revolutionists rejected the Bible and abolished slavery in the colonies, while
the Church reintroduced the Bible and slavery.144
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, (1833-1899), the famous orator and statesman of U.S.A., who
popularised the criticism of the Bible on the basis of a humanistic philosophy and
scientific rationalism, opines candidly :
�The real oppressor, enslaver and corrupter of the people is the Bible.�145
- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
The most devoted Christian King, George III, abhorred abolition of slavery. The most
zealous defenders of slavery in America were Bible moralists. Abraham Lincolin�s
�Emancipation Proclamation� nullified �God� law� of Holy Bible.
In spite of the afore-mentioned Biblical texts which not only sanction but also confirm
and establish slavery, the Christian missionaries boast that contribution of Christianity
towards modern civilization in the West is of paramount importance. Ms Matilda Joslyn
Gage, one of the renowned historians of America, falsifies their claim as under
�The careful student of history will discover that Christianity has been of very little
value in advancing civilization, but has done a great deal toward retarding it.�146
Ms Matilda Joslyn Gage quotes Wendell Phillips in support of her statement. Wendell
Phillips opines :
�The liberty and civilization of the present are nothing else than the fragments of rights
which the scaffold and stake have wrung from the strong hands of the usurpers.�147
- Wendell Phillips
2. VEDAS PREACH EQUALITY AND LIBERTY
(i) All men are equal
The philosophy of Holy Vedas revolves round fraternity and equality. None is superior to
another. None is master, none is slave. All men have equal rights on the earth. Nature
treats all alike, whether he is brown or black, high or low, prince or pauper. Lord has
prescribed the same mode of birth and death for all men of the earth. All souls are
equally alike
samaanaa =dyaaina va: |

Let our hearts be
In equality and unity.
- Rig Veda 10/191/4
(ii) Live and let live
Vedic religion (Hindu religion) is based on the golden principle of �live and let live�.
Exploitation in any form is strictly prohibited in Vedic religion. Supreme Being dwells in
the hearts of all men. Then why to enslave a fellow-being, who has the same equal right
to live with dignity and liberty ? Holy Vedas admonish us to live and let others live :
jaIvaa sqa jaIvyaasaM

You may live
And let me also live.
Prof. Max Muller admires and appreciates Vedas in the following words :
�Vedas will continue to be admired and appreciated as long as the oceans and the
mountains exist on the earth.�
- Prof Max Muller

(iii) Slavery is pain, liberty is pleasure
No other suffering on the earth is so painful as slavery. All troubles and tribulations,
tortures and turmoils appear insignificant in comparison to agonies of bondage. No other
joy in the world is so great as liberty. It is the root of real delight and source of genuine
joy. He who is deprived of liberty is the most wretched man on the earth. Freedom is a
blessing, where as slavery is a curse. Freedom is life, where as slavery is death.
Freedom is rapture, where as slavery is torture.
Shri Manu, the first law-giver of the world, says
sava-M parvaSaM du:KaM sava-maatmavaSaM

sauKama\ |
etad\ ivaVata\ samaasaona laXaNaM
sauKadu:Kayaao: ||
à manau
Slavery is pain,
Freedom is pleasure,
In short, this is the definition
Of pain and pleasure.
- Manu
(iv) Crush the man who enslaves us
Holy Vedas precept and preach universal brotherhood. All human beings on the earth are
brothers having one and the same father, God Almighty who treats all alike. Hence all
are entitled to equal rights and privileges. But if some persons, on account of their selfish
motive and malicious mentality, try to encroach upon the liberty of others, they are not to
be treated as brothers. They are to be dealt with as encroachers, assaulters and enemies.
Vedas authorise us to crush the man who tries to subjugate us, because protection of
liberty then becomes unavoidable necessity.

à Pgvaod 1ó79ó11
O effulgent Lord,
May the person who enslaves us
Be crushed under feet
Whether he is near or far;
Mayest Thou be with us
For our progress and prosperity.
- Rig Veda 1/79/11
Holy Vedas admonish us that he, who snatches the basic right of liberty and wishes to
make us servile, should not be allowed at all to exercise his power, whether he is alien or
our own kith and kin:
yaao na [ndàiBadasaita sanaaiBaya-Eca

O resplendent Lord,
Destroy the power of the man
Who wants to enslave us
Whether he is alien or akin,
No matter, if his strength
Is as vast as the sky;
Break the ropes
Fastened unto his bows.
- Rig Veda 10/133/5
�The root cause of our downfall is our mental weakness. The first and foremost task we
have to perform is to annihilate this mental weakness.�
- Dr. K.B. Hedgewar
�A wrong interpretation of �non-violence� has deprived the national mind of the

power of discrimination. We have begun to look upon strength as �violence� and to
glorify our weakness�� The world is not prepared to listen to the philosophy, however
sublime, of the weak.� - Guruji M.S. Golwalkar
�I would prefer Hitler to the Democracy that was cowardly and yielding to every
aggressor.�
- Veer Savarkar
�I shall see that my one soldier will defeat one lac enemies, then alone I shall get myself
called Gobind Singh.�
- Guru Gobind Singh

24 BIBLE PREACHES �RACISM�, VEDAS

PREACH �EQUAL RIGHTS�
1. BIBLE PREACHES �RACISM�
The Holy Bible preaches and propagates �racism�. �Racism� is the belief in the
inherent superiority of a particular race or races over others, usually with the implication
of a right to dominate over others. The following passage of Holy Bible indicates that its
followers are �holy people�, �special people�, �chosen people� and �superior
race� in the court of God :
229. �6. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God bath
chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the
face of the earth.�
- Deuteronomy, 7/6
The afore-mentioned Biblical passage incited the British rulers to accord discriminatory
treatment to the people of Bharat. Let Christian missionaries answer to the question:
�Does Bible believe in equality of all men of the universe ?�
2. VEDAS PREACH �EQUAL RIGHTS�
Vedic religion does not approve of superiority of a particular race or races over others.
None is superior or inferior. All are equal children of one Father.
EaRNvantau ivaEvao AmaRtasya pau~aa:

All men are sweet sons of Supreme Being
Holy Vedas preach equality of all men of the earth and equal rights of all irrespective of
caste, colour, creed and country.
samaanaao AQvaa pa`vataamanauYyado |
à Pgvaod 2ó13ó2
All the walkers
Who walk on the path
Have equal right
To the path
- Rig Veda 2/13/2
�Without dynamic conquering spirit, even devotion to a divine cause will be of little
avail. In this hard world which is an arena for trial of strength with brute forces, mere
goodness or noble virtues will not hold the field even for a single moment. That is why
we find that in spite of all the piety, goodness and devotion to God all through the past
thousand years, we were trampled under the feet by foreign aggressors who, though total
strangers to goodness and virtue, had a passion for heroic action and organised effort.�

25 BIBLICAL GOD BREAKS AND BURNS IDOLS
VEDIC GOD BESTOWS BLISS
1. BIBLICAL GOD BREAKS AND BURNS IDOLS
Biblical God orders His followers to destroy the aliens� altars, break their images, cut
down their groves and bum their carved idols in fire.
230. �5. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break
down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with
fire.�
- Deuteronomy, 7/5
That is why during the tyrannical rule of the Portuguese in Goa, Francis Xavier got
established �Holy Inquisition of Goa� under which Hindu temples were destroyed and
idols of Hindu Gods were either broken or burnt in fire. Francis Xavier once declared :
�I order everywhere the temples pulled down and all idols broken. I know not how to
describe in words the joy I feel before the spectacle of pulling down and destroying the
idols.�
- Francis Xavier
2. VEDIC GOD BESTOWS BLISS
Vedic God bestows bliss and benediction, love and light on all men of the earth
irrespective of their colour and creed. 1Jnlike Biblical God who curses and condemns,
breaks and bums, Vedic God blesses all beings with love. He admonishes all to love one
another and live in love with all
sa=dyaM saaMmanasyaivaWoYaM kRxNaaoima

va: |
Anyaao AnyamaiBa =ya-ta vatsaM
jaataimavaaGnyaa ||1||
I bless you to be free from malice
To live with concord and unanimity.
Love one another as cow loves
Its new-born calf.
Here one important question arises whether God is one or two. All scholars of the world
believe in the existence of one God, not two. If it is so, how can we describe Biblical
God and Vedic God, whose characteristics, as mentioned above, appear to be quite
contrary ? God as described in Bible is not the same as described in Vedas. Similarly
God as described in Vedas is not the same as described in Bible, because One God cannot
give contrary and contradictory sermons. If God is One, how can He demand sacrifice of
animals and human beings in Bible, while precepting non-violence in Vedas ? Both
actions are contradictory to each other. If God is One, how can He massacre all first-born
babies in Bible, while teaching noble lesson of �Ahimsa Parmo Dharma� (non-
violence is the noblest religion) in Vedas ? If God is One, how can He say in Bible, �I
have come to create rift between father and son, mother and daughter etc.�, while
teaching in Vedas lesson of harmony and unity in family ? Both actions are quite contrary
to each other. If God is One, how can He speak of slaughter of infants and ripping of
pregnant women of disbelievers in Bible and fraternity and equality of all men in Vedas ?
Both things are quite contradictory and contrary to each other. All the readers of this
book will unanimously agree that God is one and that He does not give contrary and
contradictory precepts. The rest is left to the wisdom and common sense of the readers to
arrive at full logical conclusion.
�Only those who are strong enough to protect not only themselves, but also to create
fear in the minds of the enemies, can talk of peace, non-aggression and nonviolence.�
- Veer Savarkar
�Peace and love are possible only between equals. The real enemies of peace are those
weak people, who, because of their weakness, incite the strong. If we are weak, we
commit the sin of disturbing world peace. The real cause of our degradation is our
mental weakness.�
- Dr. K.B. Hedgewar
�Our aim should be to bring about the militarisation of the nation and modernisation of
the army. The aggressors shall have to be thrown out of the Bharatiya territory.�
- Pandit Deendayal Upadhaya
26 BIBLICAL GOD IS JEALOUS AND VINDICTIVE,

VEDIC GOD IS BENEVOLENT FATHER
1. BIBLICAL GOD IS JEALOUS AND VINDICTIVE
(i) Biblical God is jealous
The Biblical God himself states that He is jealous God. Read the following passage :
231. �5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for 1 the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.�
- Exodus, 20/5
Is it justice that the children of third and fourth generation, who are not yet born, will be
punished for no fault of theirs ? Moreover, this is mundane thought of mortals, not
Immortal Almighty. It is human attribute that he indulges in revenge against those who
hate him. How can God who is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, all-powerful and
all-pervasive, be jealous and revengeful against those who hate him ? Is it possible that
God, the all-powerful is hated by anyone ? Actually He neither hates any one, nor is hated
by.
(ii) Biblical God is vindictive
The Holy Bible states that Biblical God takes revenge and that He is jealous. He reserves
wrath against his enemies
232. �2. God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is
furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for
his enemies.�
- Nahum, 1/2
How can God, who is the most gracious, the most merciful, the most compassionate and
the most benevolent Father of all, have enemies ? How can He reserve wrath against his
enemies ?
2. VEDIC GOD IS BENEVOLENT FATHER
All the scholars of the world unanimously agree that Rig Veda is the oldest scripture in
the world. Rev. Morris Phillip concludes with firm conviction :
"After the latest researches into history and chronology of books of old Testaments, we
may safely call the Rig Veda as the oldest book, not only of the Aryan humanity but of the
whole world.�
- Rev. Morris Phillip

Rig Veda states that Supreme Being is benevolent Father of all creatures of the cosmos.
He looks after all beings whether they are virtuous or sinner. Being sustainer of the
whole cosmos, He feeds, clothes, covers and heals even the greatest sinner. All beings of
the universe, irrespective of caste, colour and creed, enjoy the bliss of His unfathomable
mercy and power.

�A nation that fails to take pride in its past achievements or to take inspiration
therefrom, can never build up the present or plan for the future. A weak nation can never
attain greatness.�
- Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee
�Politics is ultimately subservient to the interests of the nation. If we give up all

thoughts of a nation�s basic identity, history, culture and traditions, of what use is that
politics ?�
27 TYRANNICAL VOICE OF BIBLICAL GOD

BLISSFUL NATURE OF VEDIC GOD
1. TYRANNICAL VOICE OF BIBLICAL GOD
(i) Is Biblical God, a God of Love ?
Here is the tyrannical voice of Biblical God in the following passage

233. �25. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge, the quarrel of my
covenant; and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the
pestilence among you; and ye shall he delivered into the hand of the enemy.�
- Leviticus, 26/25
The readers should carefully read the above passage and decide themselves whether
Biblical God is a God of love and compassion.
Jonathan Swift, the renowned Irish writer, who authored �Gulliver�s Travels�,
looking back over centuries of church carnage, made his famous comment :
�We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one
another�148
- Jonathan Swift
(ii) Sword without and terror within
Read here the wrathful voice of Biblical God replete with terror and tyranny against those
who do not believe in the gospel :
234. �25. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man
and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.�
What offence do the suckling infants commit that they will be destroyed ? Is it not
sufficient proof that Christian missionaries spread their religion by the dint of �sword
without and terror within� the houses of the so called pagans ?
German philosopher Nietzsche�s candid opinion is worth-quoting here. He states :
�I call Christianity the one Great Curse, the enormous and innermost perversion, the
one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are too venomous, too underhand, too
underground and too petty. I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.�149
- Nietzsche
Voltaire, the famous French playwright and satirist, who was considered the universal
genius of the �Enlightenment�, told Frederick, the Great, unambiguously :
�Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever
infected the world.�150
- Voltaire
(iii) Killing by teeth of beasts and poison of serpents
The God of Holy Bible declares that He will destroy the non-believers by means of the
teeth of beasts and poison of serpents :
235. �24. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with
bitter destruction; I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of
serpents of the dust.�
(iv) Massacre of children due to bias of their fathers
236. �21. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity (bias) of their
fathers;��
- Isaiah, 14/21
2. BLISSFUL NATURE OF VEDIC GOD
Vedic God (i.e. God described in Vedas) is benevolent, blissful and benign. He pours His
benign bliss on all beings of the universe. He is the main source of strength, vigour and
vitality. It is He who endows his devotees with physical, moral and spiritual power. All
sorts of strength and energy originate from Him. But for His will, not a single leaf of tree
can move from its place. Those who are the righteous and enlightened people, blessed
with divine vision, acknowledge His visible beneficent rule in the universe and adore
Him with fervour and enthusiasm. Those who pray to and seek His benign protection,
achieve salvation. He imparts bliss and knowledge to those who invoke and entreat
Him. Those who are blessed with divine bliss, adore Him with fervent devotion.

vibrations of spiritualism and ideals of Hindutva.� - Dr. K.B. Hedgewar
�There is absolutely no escape whatsoever for the Hindus of this Nation from
combining and unifying themselves for squarely facing the divisive forces that are hell-
bent to destabilise this country.� - Aurobindo Ghosh

28 BUTCHERY BY �BIBLICAL MEN OF GOD�,

BENEVOLENCE BY VEDIC �RISHIS�
1. BUTCHERY BY �BIBLICAL MEN OF GOD�
(i) Massacre by David
(a) David put the people under saws !
David, one of the towering figures of the Bible, assaulted on Ammonian cities, put the
people under saws, harrows of iron, axes of iron and made them pass through the brick-
kiln.
237. �31. And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under
saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass
through the brick-kiln; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.
So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.�
- II Samuel, 12/31
Joseph Lewis, president, Free Thinkers of America and editor of �The Age of Reason�
states :
�Killing and murder are related with so little compunction that a continued reading of
the Bible cannot help but make one callous of the value of human life. No wonder the
Christian countries at war use the Bible as the basis of their national religion and give
each soldier a copy while engaged in battle��151
- Joseph Lewis
The butchery by �Biblical men of God� exceedingly incited the fanatic Christians to
kill the non-believers. James A. Haught narrates in his book �Holy Horros� the heart-
rending massacres of the so called �heretics� by orthodox Christians as under
�In the 1200s, a storm of heretic-hunting burst upon Europe. The first victims were the
Albigenses, or Cathari, centered around Albi, France. They doubted the Biblical account
of Creation, considered Jesus an angel instead of a god, rejected transubstantiation, and
demanded strict celibacy��.. In 1208, Pope Innocent III declared a major crusade to
destroy the Albigenses. Some 20, 000 knights and peasants answered the call, forming
an army that scourged southern France, smashing towns where the belief was strong.
When the besieged city of Beziers fell, soldiers asked papal legate Arnald Amalric (or
Arnaud Amaury) how they could distinguish the infidel from the faithful among the
captives. He commanded: �Kill them all. God will know His own.� Thousands were
slaughtered - many first blinded, mutilated, dragged behind horses or used for target
practice. The legate reported to the pope.. �God�s wrath has raged in wondrous wise
against the city.�152
- James A. Haught
(b) David butchered 200 men !
238. �27. Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the
Philistines two hundred men;��
-I Samuel, 18/27
(ii) Massacre by Jehu, the king and prophet
(a) Jehu, the king and prophet, slew all, leaving none as alive
239. �11. So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his
great men, and his kins-folks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.�
- II Kings, 10/11
(iii) Massacre by Joshua
(a) Joshua, the successor of Moses, butchered all that breathed

Not a single soul was allowed to remain alive; all were massacred not at one place but
many places. Read the following five verses :
240. �30. And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of
Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were
therein; he let none remain in it;��
- Joshua, 10/30
241. �32. And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on
the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were
therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.�
- Joshua, 10/32
242. �36. And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron;
and they fought against it:�
- Joshua, 10/36
243. �37. And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king
thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none
remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and
all the souls that were therein.�
- Joshua, 10/37
244. �40. So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the
vale, and of the springs, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly
destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.�
- Joshua, 10/40
(iv) Massacre by Elijah, the prophet
(a) Elijah, the prophet, slew all 450 priests, spared none
Elijah, the prophet, ordered for slaughter of 450 priests just for differing from him in
religious beliefs ! Here is the verse
245. �40. And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them
escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon,
and slew them there.�
- I Kings, 18/40
(v) Massacre by Samuel, the prophet
(a) Samuel, the prophet, slew Agag in pieces
246. �33�� And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.�
- I Samuel, 15/33
(vi) Massacre by Moses
(a) Moses slaughtered even innocent children
Moses, one of the towering figures in the Bible, massacred not only men and women, but
also innocent children of all cities, because Sihon, the king of Heshbon did not allow him
to pass through his land. Here is the text :
247. �34. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and
the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:�
- Deuteronomy, 2/34
(vii) Massacre by Elisha, the prophet
(a) Elisha, the prophet, butchered 42 little children
The prophet Elisha causes bears to tear 42 little children for laughing at his bald head.
248. �23. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the
way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto
him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.�
- II Kings, 2/23
249. �24. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of
the Lord, And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and
two children of them.�
- II Kings, 2/24
Charles Smith opines candidly

�The Bible is the greatest hoax in all history. The leading characters of the Old
Testament would today be in the penitentiary and those of the New would be under
observation in psychopathic wards.�153
- Charles Smith
Dean Farrar, the famous philosopher and theologian, who was the Dean of Canterbury,
remarked fearlessly :
�The Bible is a barbarous book, written in a barbarous age, for the barbarous
people.�154
- Dean Farrar
2. BENEVOLENCE BY VEDIC �RISHIS�
The world owes immensely to the four Vedic Rishis for their benevolence in transmitting
the divine knowledge of Holy Vedas to all the people of the earth. On the banks of river
Sindhu (Indus), the divine knowledge of Vedas dawned on four Rishis (hermits) named
Agni, Vayu, Aditya and Angira, who transmitted the same to Brahma.
Terminologically the word �Veda� means knowledge, not an ordinary knowledge,
subject to omission or commission. It is infallible, immortal and everlasting knowledge,
which is flawless and fathomless.
Prof. Max Muller states in his Introduction of �Science and Religion� as under :
"The Vedas are eternal and consequently perfect and infallible.�

- Prof. Max Muller
Holy Vedas propagate love, where there is hatred; preach truth, where there is untruth;
create atmosphere of reconciliation, where there is revenge and retaliation; produce
optimism, where there is pessimism; infuse enthusiasm, where there is dejection;
generate faith, where there is doubt; spread light, where there is darkness; provide joy and
jubilee, where there are sorrows and sufferings.
The whole race of mankind in the universe can assert her claim to Vedas. Vedic religion
unites all men of the globe in common string of oneness by preaching about one God
(0m), one religion (Vedic), one race (Arya), one scripture (Vedas), one method of worship
(Sandhya), one language (Sanskrit), one culture (Vedic Culture) and one aim (to ennoble,
enlighten, uplift and elevate man). The slogan of Vedic religion is
kRxNvaMtaao ivaEvamaaya-ma\ |
à Pgvaod 9ó63ó5
Let us ennoble all men
Of the universe.
- Rig Veda 9/63/5
Vedic religion is constructive rather than destructive. It preaches propagation of noble

thoughts :
Aa naao Badà: k`xtavaao yantau ivaEvata: |

Let noble thoughts come to us
From all sides. - Yajur Veda 25/14
Vedic devotees pray to Providence to dispel their vicious impulses and bestow on them
noble thoughts
ivaEvaaina dova saivatadu-irtaaina para sauva

|
yaBdd`M taÙa#Aa sauva ||
à yajauvao-d 30ó3
O Supreme Creator of the universe
Mayest Thou dispel our evil impulses,
May all noble thoughts come to us. - Yajur Veda 30/3
�In any movement, common people minutely observe the personal character of the
worker in comparison to his actions. Hence the cloth-sheet of our life should be so clean
that no body may find any stain on it, even after minute observation. We should create
confidence among the people that our each action is without selfish motive. Our
character should be so clean that other,-, may be attracted and enamoured to us.�
- Dr. K.B. Hedgewar
�When self dominates instinct, disaster is ahead of us; when playing with the destinies
of a nation one should endeavour to be as selfless as humanly possible.�
- Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

historians have taken the name �Hindu� to denote our people and our dharma. The
dream of all our valiant freedom fighters like Guru Govind Singh, Vidyaranya and
Shivaji had been to establish Hindu Swaraj. The name �Hindu� carries with it the
fragrant memories of all those great lives, their deeds and their aspirations.�
