Dear Editor and all Mukto-Monas
This letter of mine is related to the letter of Mukesh Guptaji and
also related to the letter of one Muktomona to the response of the
article "Israeler Barboratar Samapti Haoa Prayojon" by Avijit Roy
Saheb. I am sorry to write in late ofcourse.
I think it is very difficult to understand the profound inner meaning
of Bhagavat Gita (Vagobot Gita, simply Gita)or Mahabharat.Bhagavat
Gita is a part of Mahabhat.
One Muktomona had written " ....there you may condem that genocide
against Muslim but you will never quote from " Moha Varot" or "
vogobot gita " that this religion is teaching this kind of genocide
and this religion is encouraging to kill non-Hindus.
My point of view is that most of the non-Hindus have very shallow
knowledge about Sanatan (sonatoa)Dharma(dharmo) which is some time
considered as Hindu Dharma.I do not know whether there are any verse
in Bhagavat Gita or Mahabharat to quote about terrorism.In any of
these two scriptures there are no reference which mention killing of
non-Hindus.The time, thousands of years before the birth of Prophet
Jesus and Prophet Mohammad(Peace be upon him), those scriptures were
composed there were no non-Hindus in this subcontinent. All knows
this fact.All the inhabitants of were the followers of Sanatan Dharma.
So how these scriptures will tell to kill non-Hindus.
The content of Gita is the conversation between Lord Krishna and
Arjuna(Arjun)which is of same value now-a-days in peoples'
lives.These converation had taken place before the start of
Kurukshetra (Kurukhetro)battle. Kurukheto is a place near New Delhi
in the state of Hariyana of Bharat. Arjuna was double- minded whether
he would fight against his kiths and kins who were taken several
unethical means to drive Arjuna and his brothers from the kingdom and
wanted to destroy them by hook or crook. Responding to Arjuna's
confusion and moral delima, Krishna explain what Arjuna should do and
not do. It was a profound discussion and full of philosophical
essence.
One of the verses of Gita :
" Yada yada hi dharmasya
Glanir bhavati Bharata
Abhyuthanam adharmasya
Tadatmanam srjmyaham.... "
" When ever and wherever there is decay of righteousness
Then I manifest myself"
to destroy the sinner (unlawful actors) and to protect the good doers.
Here Dharma means not any particular religion.
The meaning of Dharma here is the good ethics of lives, good moral
principles of lives which lead to become happy and to make other
happy.
This should be the meaning of Dharmo. But the meaning of Dharma (
religions) in which we believe are Muslimism, Christiniaty, Buddaism,
etc.
We are fighting against each other on the basis of religions. We are
abusing ours each others religion.Truely speaking when a person
powered by his or her own wisdom he or she reaches above all the so
called religions.Then he or she does not follow any so called
religions.Why he or she will follow the 'path' shown by others? That
person is so enlightened by his or her own wisdom that he or she need
not to follow the path of other shown before.This person is the king
of his own kingdom of wisdom. The wisdom never differentiate and
divide people on the bais of the so called religions.
Regarding Kashmir I want to add the following:
On the basis of human rights if majority of Kashmiris want to be
separated from India, their right shall be honoured. But the
Kashmiris have their own state government. The Kashmiris voted the
Kashmiris and make the government.
Regarding separation of Kashmir I think not all Muslim Kashmiris want
to be separated from India. Specially most of the senior Kashmiris
(who keep their mouth shut up infront of the militants) they think
their condition will remain the same if it joins Pakistan.
Pakistan will not install industries there because no way to install
it. Pakistan will not make all the hills to plain for cultivation,
Pakistan will not be able to change the climate of Kashmir so that it
will be without snow falling in winter and Kashmir will grow
vegitables and rice in winter. Pakistan will not give more employment
to Kashmiris if it joins with Pakistan. Pakistan itself is suffering
tremendous poverty since some last couples of decades. But certainly
Pakistan will be benefited to fight with its arch enemy with greater
ease if Indian Kashmir joins with them.
