Bhagavan Krishna had orchestrated the Mahabharata war to establish ‘Dharma’ and Arjuna was only a tool in his hand. In reality Arjuna had no choice but to fight.

2) Arjuna was in a dilemma because he believed that he was about to kill his own people. Bhagavan explains to him that this fear was a spiritual misconception as they were not merely physical beings but they were the everlasting souls which is deathless. In Sanatana Dharma, the human soul is realised as ‘Atma’, which is pure consciousness that is never born and thus cannot die.

1) Do every action that is necessary for survival for there is no choice but to perform all your responsibilities that are given to you by the virtue of birth or the one’s that you have taken upon yourself during your lifetime.

2) When faced with a dilemma of being required to perform an action that is against your principles or liking, do the minimal required as demanded by the situation. Don’t regret or feel guilty about it.

3) Give yourself completely to the action. It is in human nature to feel motivated by the benefits or the results of any action. Krishna doesn’t mean that perform the action without being interested in the results but rather implies to not get carried away by the outcome of your action. He doesn’t want you to fall in the pit of despair if the outcome is not favorable. Similarly, he doesn’t want you to feel so excited that you become over confident and callous if the results meet your expectations.

The faiths like Buddhism and Jainism and to some extent Sikhism are considered very close to Hinduism.The Hindus see Buddha as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. You will be amazed to know that Lord Krishna is also an incarnation of Lord Vishnu according to Hindu Mythology.

The language of Buddha was definitely not Dravidian as he gave his sermons in “Pali” and “Prakrit” which were popular among the common people unlike Sanskrit which was used mainly for religious purposes and by the knowledgeable. Thus he used a language which can be easily understood by the common man. Pali and Prakrit were derived from Sanskrit and their origin and grammar can be traced back to Sanskrit. Buddhism, in fact, has many religious text written in Sanskrit.

The Indians have an identity and culture of their own and they do not have to borrow it from somebody else. The Aryan Invasion Theory which you are talking about has no relevance in today’s world and many recent researches have proved that so called Aryans were original inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization.

Every religion in this world, including Christianity and Islam have “Popes” and “Caliphs” to formulate rules and guidelines for their followers and the same is also true for Hinduism to some extent. However, if the Church says that the Earth is the center of the Universe, then are you going to believe them? or find out the truth on your own.

The killer of Gandhi cannot be termed as a Hindu or preacher of Gita. He was just a brain washed Lunatic who could never understand the true meaning of Gita or Hinduism. Therefore, calling him a preacher of Hinduism is similar to saying that “Jehadis” are followers of Islam.

If you want to talk about facts then please verify them before using them as Krishna never killed his uncle without any reason. He killed him because his uncle was known for his atrocious and oppressive rule. He did what was in the benefit of mankind even if it meant killing his own uncle. Thus he was following his Karma.

Yes, I agree that some of the Indians see many religions with suspicion but their is a scientific explanation for this behavior. The Indian Society has faced the brutality and atrocities of many outsiders like Mughals and Britishers for hundreds of years who tried to impose their religious views on the Indian people with brute force. Thus this attitude of some Indians was used by the fanatics to their advantage and for personal gains.

However, a rational person whether he is a Hindu, Christian or a Muslim knows that the almighty has given him a very powerful weapon to protect himself from these evil ideas and that is his own conscience. I am a Hindu and respect Jesus, Allah, Moses, and Krishna in the same way as I know that it is the God in the end to whom I am accountable.

I hope this will clear some of your misconceptions.

That is what Gopal Godse said as he prepares for his final vindication, the election of India’s first ultra-Hindu nationalist government.
Gopal Godse spent 18 years in prison for his role in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. His brother and one other conspirator were hanged by the neck until dead.
But it was all worth it, says Gopal Godse.

Now these conspirators, who to this day are celebrated by strict Hindus, took the literal advise of the sky-blue coloured Krishna and did the work or karma that Arjuna was instructed to perform without one idle thought. Another odd thing if one investigates is that at age nine Krishna killed his uncle who he termed a demon. Now to the orthodox Hindus the followers of Islam or Buddhism, etc. are tantamount to being demons. Why else were the Buddhists driven out of India by the Hindus? Sri Lanka, an island, became one of the refuges for the dark-skinned non-Sanskrit based believers.

Keep up your good work.
