- The following is a translation of the current
- world as it is, in terms of Hindu theology.
-
- Should this be done? Well, perhaps it will help the
- fundamentalist Hindu to be able to see the
- emerging new world in a less threatening light.
-
- Can this be done? Yes. The Hindu theology, perhaps
- like many ancient theologies, is based upon some very
- eternal aspects of the human condition -- creation,
- joy and destruction.
-
- Thus, when the Hindu fundamentalist asks, "Why is there
- lack of peace in the world today?" The answer is,
- the world is just fine. The Hindu theologists have
- made one grave error, however, when they made the
- implicit assumption that all Avatars would take place in
- the land between Himalayas and the Indian ocean. This
- is not so.
-
- This mistake had serious consequences for the Hindu
- world-view. When Bluethroat awoke once again, about
- 1500 years ago (this time, it was either in Middle
- East or Africa -- the details have been cleverly
- obscured), and sent out his prophet to sing
- his songs, the Hindus failed to recognize him. Even
- those who worshipped him in other forms could not
- recognize their own lord -- even whey they saw
- his signature everywhere.
-
- What is the signature of Bluethroat? Change.
- Eternal Change. When temples and idols were broken,
- libraries were burned, universities were destroyed,
- and knowledge was lost forever, at least then
- the Hindus should have seen the marks of the
- lord of destruction.
-
- They fail to do this, and wonder why there
- is violence and lack of peace in their land.
- And yet, some subliminal spark of recognition
- is present. For Bluethroat's memory in India
- is at a very high level right now. Note that
- the current violence is led by "Shiv Sena",
- which has, for instance, power of destruction over
- the very place of birth of Ram, the harmonious ruler.
- Naturally, worshippers of the destroyer being
- present on both sides, there is violence and lack of
- peace in India.
-
- Fortunately for peace-lovers, the latest incarnation
- of the destroyer is 1500 years old now, and there
- appear to be other opposing forces, which are promising
- welcome to a new age, and to the end of destruction.
-
- Let us allow the destroyer back into his hard
- earned Samadhi, let his memories be perpetuated
- with homage and repetition like all other
- memories are, and pray he shall not arise until
- needed again, eons from now.
-
- Good morning.
