We Get What We Deserve

Like children everywhere, when I was a young boy I often stated with great frustration, “It’s not fair.” As a child I had a very limited understanding of fairness and justice. And now as an adult I still find myself complaining about the seeming unfairness of different things. Judging simply by appearances, life seems grossly unfair. But with spiritual insight and instructions we come to understand that it is perfectly fair and there is perfect justice.

In the past when I had thoughts to do something wrong I would say to myself, “Who’s going to know? There is no witness so I will not be punished.” This reasoning leads to much suffering. The scripture tells us that Krsna is always within us witnessing every action, word and thought. Nothing is hidden. God does not interfere with our choices. But He warns us that there is law. Whether we believe in it and accept it or not, divine law is never frustrated. This is the law of karma, the law governing activities. It is perfect and inescapable. We r3eap what we sow but since the consequences of actions are not always immediate, foolish men think there is no God and no justice.

The major misconception is that the consequences of our actions (rewards or punishments) must come in this lifetime. It is not always so. Judging the fairness of events in the context of one lifetime is like trying to judge the fairness of events observed in a single day without knowing what happened in the days before. We see a man evicted from his house, his wife leaves him the same day and when he gets to work that day he is fired. We would conclude that he was a victim and life was treating him unfairly. Later, we find out he had not paid the rest in several months spending his money on alcohol and prostitutes, he had beaten his wife for the past two weeks and several days before being fired he had stolen a large sum of money from the boss’ safe. He was not a victim. He was getting what he deserved.

Many ask, “Where is the justice when a man is convicted and sentenced for a crime he did not commit?” We have to look at the bigger picture. We have been assuming and shedding physical bodies for a long, loin time. And somewhere, at sometime, that man did something that warranted the circumstances he is now facing.

Some people ask, “If there is reincarnation, why don’t we remember?” I personally feel this is an example of the mercy of Krsna. It is painful enough for me to remember the transgressions I have committed in this lifetime. I would not want the burden of remembering those from previous lifetimes. In the Bhagavad-git, Krsna states, “I am sitting in everyone’s heart. From Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.”

Also, it would be difficult to know the suffering we have created for ourselves and others as well as the consequences we are facing. We would be overwhelmed. There is much we do not remember and this is the mercy of Krsna.

Eventually the intelligent man realizes that he does not get away with anything because he is endlessly caught in a diseased condition of material entanglement constantly creating more and more karma as a result of fruitive action. Krsna allows us to continue like this as long as we want. But if we want out, He also offers a way. By canting His names and studying Krsna consciousness we can attain the knowledge that will liberate us from this cyclic existence in this material prison.

“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains my eternal abode, O Arjuna.: (B.G. 4.9)

Knowing that whatever circumstances I am experiencing or facing are the result of my own karma I need not lament. I experience my karma without complaining knowing that nothing happens by chance and God’s divine law is perfect and unavoidable.

Hindu Terrorism Neglected by Obama

Hindu Terrorism Neglected by Obama

Posted on 09. Nov, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba in US

By Sajjad Shaukat

US President Obama who just concluded his India visit, announced on November 6 a $10 billion in trade deals with New Delhi to create more than 50,000 US jobs. He also declared the measures, America would take regarding removal of Indian space and defence companies from a restricted “entities list” and supported Indian demand for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council including membership of four key global nuclear nonproliferation regimes, paid a tribute to victims of the Mumbai attacks.

While describing “win-win” relationship with India, Obama’s main focus was Indo-US united front against terrorism, which relates to the Islamic militancy in the region, but he totally neglected the home grown and state sponsored Hindu terrorism.

During his trip, President Obama did not take cognizance of the misdeeds of Hindu fundamentalist parties like the BJP, RSS, VHP, Shiv Sina and Bajrang Dal which have missed no opportunity to communalise national politics of India even under the Congress rule. With the backing of Indian officials, these parties have intensified anti-Christian and anti-Muslim bloodshed in the last decade coupled with the dissemination of Hindutva (Hindu nationalism).

Obama should know that besides previous genocide of Muslims and destruction of the Babri Mosque, more than 2500 Muslims were massacred in2002 in the BJP-ruled Indian state of Gujarat. Regarding that massive genocide, both Human Rights Watch in 2002 and Amnesty International in 2003 charged the “Gujarat state administration” for involvement in “a massive cover-up of the state’s role in that massacre” and pointed out numerous police officials—specifically ministers, high officials and leaders of the VHP, BJP and Bajrang Dal as participants.

On September 13, 2008, the communal riots in Uttar Pradesh killed more than 200 Muslims. In one of the most tragic incidents in Assam, Hindu extremists burnt alive six members of a Muslim family.

It is mentionable that after the BJP came to power in February 2006, unlike the previous similar tragic events, Christian persecution rose to new heights in the state of Karnataka. Attacks on Christian holidays became common in the state like other areas. On the Christmas Eve of 2007, Hindu extremists led a series of violent attacks on Christians and their property in the state of Orissa, killing six Christians and razing at least 800 houses and 100 churches.

According to a report of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), “in one of the events, in March, 2008, more than 150 intolerant nationalist Hindus stormed two Easter Sunday services and beat at least 16 Christians including two pastors in Bangalore and in Shimoga district…before almost every assault, the mob of the Hindu extremist of RSS, VHPand Bajrang Dal, armed with bamboo poles, sticks and rods, while beating drums shout slogans in Hindi—he “who talks in favour of only Hindus will rule the nation.”

Nevertheless, assaults on Christians and their property have continued by the Hindu mobs in Orissa, Assam, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. Even the recent past witnessed a number of incidents of religious intolerance. In this respect, at least 60 Christians have been assassinated in the recent past by Hindu fundamentalists in Orissa.

Under the mask of democracy and secularism, Indian subsequent regimes dominated by politicians from the Hindi heartland—Hindutva have been using brutal force ruthlessly against any move to free Assam, Kashmir, Khalistan, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu and Tripura where wars of independence are alive in one or the other form.

As regards the Indian-held Kashmir, since 1947, Indian forces have intermittently been employing all the possible techniques of military terrorism such as curfews, crackdowns, sieges, massacre, targeted killings etc. to maintain their alien rule. However, under the new puppet regime in the occupied Kashmir, Indian brutalities keep on going against the current phase of Kashmiri uprising. In the last two years, more than 3000 unmarked graves of the unidentified bodies were uncovered in villages of Indian-held Kashmir. Sources have suggested that these graves include bodies of extrajudicial executions committed by the Indian military and paramilitary forces.

In Maharashtra, non-Hindu communities have lived in constant fear and awe since the advent of the fundamentalist party, Shiv Sena whose Chief Bal Thackeray has organised army of hoodlums to beat up any religious minority, openly directing the Hindu terrorists to loot and stone any of their shop or house. Silence of the subsequent governments on every challenge of Shiv Sena and lack of serious action against Thackeray’s vandalism have clearly defeated the secular echoes of India which is in fact a secular terrorist state. More alarming point is that Bajrang Dal has also been imparting arms training to its members near Ayodhya.

It is worth-mentioning that ideology of Hindu nationalism prevails in every field at the cost of other minorities. It is even supported by Indian defence forces clandestinely. This fact could be judged from the recent past, when on April 6, 2008 in the house of Bajrang Dal fundamentalists in Nanded, a bomb went off. The investigations proved that the militants belonging to the Bajrang Dal were found in the bomb-making and attack on a mosque in Parbhani in 2003. Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Maharashtra arrested a serving Lt. Col. Srikant Purohit along with other army officials, indicating that they were helping in training the Hindu terrorists, providing them with the military-grade explosive RDX, used in the Malegaon bombings and terrorist attacks in other Indian cities. ATS further disclosed that Lt. Col. Purohit confessed that in 2007, he was involved in bombing of Samjhota express, which brunt alive 69 Pakistanis. Leaders of the Indian extremist parties, Shiv Sena, BJP, VHP and RSS are now pressurising the Congress regime to release the culprits.

Before these revelations about Hindu terrorism, Indian government has been accusing the Islamic organizations in contact with Pakistani or Bangladeshi intelligence agencies in carrying out bomb blasts in Malegaon and other Indian places.

As regard Hindu terrorism, BBC indicated on November 21, 2008 that a new phrase has entered the sometimes cliche-riddled Indian press: “Hindu terrorism”, calling it the latest addition to the media lexicon.

Nonetheless, it is due to the ignorance of the US Administration that New Delhi which has been using Hindu terrorists to create frenzy against the other religious communities has further been encouraged by the President Obama who is silent over Hindu terrorism.

In the aftermath of the Mumbai tragedy, instead of showing any evidence about Hindu terrorism, Indian leaders and their media have coined a number of fabricated stories about the arrested gunman, Ajmal Kasab to prove the involvement of Pakistan, banned Lashkar-i-Taiba and even our intelligence agency, ISI which is the first defence line of our country in castigating the plot of foreign enemies. Nevertheless, the sole purpose behind Indian senseless accusations against Islamabad is to conceal the misdeeds of Hindu terrorism which have got no coverage by US-led European media because of the pro-Indian tilt of these countries.

Obama’s ignorance of Hindu terrorism could be judged from the decision of the United Nations Security Council’s Al-Qaida-related committee which added Pakistan-based Jamaatud Dawa, already banned Lashkar-i-Taiba and four of its leaders to the list of terrorists. Meanwhile, India had started increasing pressure on Islamabad with the backing of the US which had played a key role in passing the UN resolution 1267. However, encouraged by the resolution and emboldened by America, the then Indian Minister for External Affairs, Parnab Mukerjee indicated that “India has all options open.” Indian defence minister has also stated in the same terms, while its Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called Pakistan, the epicenter of terrorism.

Notably, America has its political and economic interests in India which serves as the largest market. And the US has its strategic interests in the region, while New Delhi is its main ally to counterbalance China in Asia. In this regard, US, India and Israeli want to ‘denuclearise’ and ‘destablise’ Pakistan which is the only nuclear Islamic country. It is owing to these collective interests that like his predecessor, President Bush, Obama neglects Hindu terrorism which has now become a dangerous reality for international community.

Here, question also arises as to why Indian fundamentalist parties such as Shiv Sena, RSS, Bajrang Dal and BJP which are unleashing the forces of terrorism, are not being added to the UN or US terrorist lists. In this context, negligence of Hindu terrorism by Obama displays double standards of the west.

Promiscuity & The Death of Love

Promiscuity The Death of Love

Why women today are losing the ability to love, and how men must adjust.

From makow.com



by Henry Makow Ph.D.


If a young woman today said she was saving her virginity for her husband, she'd be considered hopelessly old fashioned. She'd be treated with disdain, as polite society treated a whore 100 years ago.

This is a measure of the triumph of Satanism, the "religion" of the modern world, also known as secularism. Not coincidentally, virgins also had to hide their purity in Bolshevik Russia.

The defining characteristic of civilization is the consecration of sex to marriage, or at the very least, love and courtship. Marriage and family are the red blood cells of a healthy society and the basis for procreation.

Satanists understand this very well. That's why they used "sexual liberation," to undermine humanity. As Giuseppe Mazzini said, "we corrupt in order to conquer."

They are like the devil. Corruption is a form of conquest.

FREE LOVE IS AN OXYMORON

The more sexual partners a young woman has, she less she is able to love a man. A woman's love must be exclusive. It must be focused on her husband, the father of her children. She must preserve her soul for him. That's what her body represents. By becoming a sexual free agent, she loses the ability to love.

For a woman, sex is an act of self-sacrifice and surrender. By definition, it requires trust, i.e. love and devotion to one man. When she has casual sex, inevitably she is disappointed and feels used. She starts to hate men and falls victim to feminism and lesbianism.

When men were required to get married in order to have sex, women were courted and loved. Later, they were honored for their contribution as wife and mother. Far from protecting "women's rights," feminism has left them twisting in the wind.

The separation of sex from marriage, i.e. "sexual liberation," is one of the principle ways satanism has killed love.

Wanton sex has become a substitute for love. Young women now market themselves as sex partners, not wives and mothers. Men are also trained to seek sex.

"Homosexual rights" is designed to make heterosexuals behave like homosexuals. Very few homosexuals marry. Very few have children. This is the model the elite envisages for mankind.

The Illuminati want us to be isolated, alienated and tractable.

A woman who is saving herself for marriage should be commended. She is resisting social pressure ( i.e. social engineering ) and obeying her instincts instead.

LOWERING EXPECTATIONS

Honeymooners.jpgThrough the mass media, the Illuminati brainwash us to think romantic love and sex are a universal panacea that cane replace religion (God.)

How many movies and songs are based on the assumption that some perfect person is the answer to our problems? Woody Allen is 75 and he's still chasing this romantic chimera in his movies. This is arrested development.

People aren't meant to be loved as though they were perfect. No one is. Only God is perfect and that is where our love should be directed. As you know, I define God in terms of spiritual ideals such as truth, justice, goodness and beauty.

Especially now when fewer women are capable of love, men need to focus on loving God and, especially, on God's love for us.

The Illuminati have done a good job of discrediting God. He is the positive force behind Creation. He represents the inherent moral and natural design. By adhering to this design, we will be healthy and happy.


REALISTIC MARRIAGE

In olden times, men chose women for their worth as helpmates. Can she cook? Milk cows? Make clothes? They had no illusions about "soul mates." Men need to look for women who are gentle and accommodating, who have skills, character, personality and make good mothers.

Avoid promiscuous women, feminists and women who are alienated from their fathers. Avoid bean counters (women who want everything to be "equal.")

We need to take the stardust out of our eyes and realize that sex has been grossly exaggerated in importance in order to control us. Men are attracted to most fertile women. So what? That's nature's way of making sure we procreate. We don't need to be controlled by that.

In marriage, we are looking for a life long companion. Look at old TV shows to see the traditional picture of marriage. It's not heaven. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez; Ralph and Alice Kramden were always comically at odds. It never gets boring.

Marriage is a mutual security pact. A woman accepts her husband's leadership in return for his protection and love. Men want power; women want love. Marriage is the exchange of the two.

Your spouse is nothing like you. There's going to be disagreements. It's not necessary to think alike or feel love all the time. Many women are moody.

Just keep your bargain. Be loyal. Don't say things that will upset her.
Play your part. And over time, with mutual trust, a strong bond grows.

And if you can't find a suitable companion, you may be in luck. Thoreau, a bachelor, said, "I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude."

He Reasons Ill...

"He reason ill who tell that Vaisnavas die when thou art still living in sound."- Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

On this day of remembrance on the disappearance of your physical presence from this world we take solace in the fact that we are listening to you speak as we write this.
You had the foresight to have your words recorded for the benefit of future generations. However we future generations are so wretched that we hardly care to listen to your words in order to get the 'full' picture. I pray to your Lord, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu that He will inspire all of your proclaimed followers around the world to take your words into their hearts and meditate on them deeply for the benefit of all humanity.

Praying to one day be called a servant of your servant- I Joshua Hawley remain fallen at your lotus feet.

The Fallacy Of Hinduism

The Fallacy of Hinduism

Josh Hawley-

I am continually surprised and amazed whenever I meet supposedly educated pandits, who know the Vedic mantras and the different yajnas and samskaras but who are simultaneously grossly ignorant of the origin of the concept of Hindu. I met a pandit the other day who was speaking about "our Hindu Dharma."

This idea is a gross fallacy and the fact that it is being perpetuated by the pandits and brahmans of India is a testament to the power and efficacy of the subjugation of India first by the Moghuls and then by the British.

The first Muslim invaders who ransacked India came upon the modern day Indus River, (in those days known as the river Sindh) and they simply labeled all the people on the other side of this river as Hindus since they could not properly pronounce the word Sindh. This label "Hindu" was perpetuated for nearly eight hundred years of muslim ransacking and rule. This labeling of the whole population of India as Hindu was further perpetuated and in a sense perfected by the British who enlisted the help of scholars like Maxmillian and other Sanskrit scholars to actively mis- translate the Vedas in favor of the European held view of Christianity.
This mistranslated version of the Vedic Sastras was then systematically taught in all education institutions throughout India as the system of "Hindu Dharma".

However upon careful examination of the Vedic Sastras, Puranas, Upanishads, Itihasas, Tantras etc, we find no mention of the word Hindu anywhere through out.
Indeed the only proper terms to identify the culture of ancient India (Bharata Varsa) is Varnasrama Dharma or Sanatana Dharma.

To say that one is a Hindu is an admission that one is a subjugated and conquered individual first by the Muslims and then by the British.
The idea that the Vedic sastras are mythical or made up is wholly ridiculous and entirely contradicts the very supposition of an absolute platform from which religion is supposed to be based.
Further evidence of the Vedic Culture is found through the world. In Russia there is what is known as the Russian Veda. In Europe the Scandanavian countries are known as such due to the Ksatriyas who lived there worshiped the demigod of war known as Skanda. In Brazil have been found the Deity form of Hanuman. In Greece the ancient worship of Rhoda and Kristos (RadhaKrishna). Etc etc. Not to mention the countless numbers of verbal histories handed down through out numerous indigenous cultures throughout the world.

The Puranas or histories of Bharata describe that all people are coming from India or Bharata Varsha. The Africans were forced out of Bharata for there unscrupulous habits of theft etc. The Egyptians left India because they were worshiping the Sun as the Supreme. The Yavanas or Turks are mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, and were eventually driven out of India for their failure to properly follow the Vedic injunctions. Lord Parasurama drove out the Ksatriyas or the Europeans etc.

From the Vedic literatures we find mention of all the races currently occupying the planet, as having descended from the land of Bharata and having originally belonged the the great Vedic Culture. Linguists recognize the root of all languages as Sanskrit.

Nowadays in our highly politicized and ignorantly divided world there is little room for the truth. Indeed if the light of the truth of the Veda reaches the mass of mankind in its actual form the whole of humanity will be liberated from its blind destruction.

David Nutt: Alcohol More Dangerous Than Crack

(CBS/AP) What's worse for us, alcohol or crack cocaine? Careful - this isn't a no-brainer.

A new study says alcohol is more destructive than illegal drugs like heroin and crack.

British scientists, lead by Dr. David Nutt at the University of Bristol, evaluated these three drugs, as well as ecstasy and marijuana (20 drugs in all), ranking each of them on the following criteria: physical harm to the user, how addictive it is, and the effect of its use on families, communities, and society.

They included economic costs like health care, social services, and prison.

Heroin, crack and crystal meth are deadliest to the individual user, the study showed, but when their wider social effects are taken into account, alcohol is the most damaging, followed by heroin and crack.

Experts said alcohol scored so high because it's so widely used and has devastating consequences not only for drinkers but for those around them. Excessive drinking damages nearly all organ systems, and is also connected to higher death rates. It's also involved in a greater percentage of crime than most other drugs, including heroin.

Marijuana, ecstasy and LSD scored far lower, according to the study, published in the "The Lancet."

Experts said the study should prompt countries to reconsider how they classify drugs. Last year, Britain increased its penalties for the possession of marijuana.

Some experts were critical of that decision, including Dr. Nutt. He was fired from his position as the U.K. chief drugs adviser soon after.

"What governments decide is illegal is not always based on science," says Leslie King, an adviser to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and one of the study's authors. "Drugs that are legal cause at least as much damage, if not more, than drugs that are illicit."
