How are Missionaries Dangerous to Hindustan!

How are Missionaries Dangerous to Bharat?

(This question originally appeared on Quora and we are reproducing the answer by Jeyo Sargunam)

Dear Seeker,

My name is Jeyo Sargunam…. and i was a Missionary…..wannabe.

Back Story – My ex-life as a Quasi Missionary

I come from a hard line Christian family and our family have done a decent job of producing Christian priests & missionaries over the last few generations. We have had 3 Bishops & a dozen christian preachers in our lineage. Since my teen i started drifting more & more toward hard-line Christianity and for obvious reasons my local environment was very conductive for my drift. I used to organize rallies, conduct church revival meetings, organize the youth & have outreach mission where you will expose the concept of Christ to poor people.

So basically i was not the affected party, however was the perpetrator as a quasi missionary.

Life had some other plans:

I had convinced my self that i will attend bible school and start my life as a missionary. However Life is funny in its own way. Thanks to an altercation at my church I ended up shipwrecking my faith in Jesus Christ. I prayed my last prayer on 25th April 2005 at 5:30 AM and renounced Christianity.

DNA of a Missionary organization

Believer greater than ‘Non Believer’: People who don’t have faith in Jesus are looked down upon. As if you have some disease that needs to be fixed. Some times it is very outright, however most of the time it is very subtle. This is the reason people act “holier than thou”

Missionaries are well a oiled marketing machine: Believe me, every missionary on field is properly trained on how to approach, present & influence a non believer (mostly Hindus) toward Christianity. They go through extensive training and coaching.

They have targets: Just like any corporate organization, they also have targets. Just like how a sales call center focus on conversion, these poor missionaries have targets for conversion…. oops .. to put in a polished way .. to get them redeemed by Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

They are well funded: You cannot beat the Christian setup. It is well rooted and well funded. Most of these organizations are decades old and have good assets and money. They can outspend any other Ghar Wapsi gimmick that RSS can try.

Yes, Missionaries are dangerous

It is like a virus: They target people who are either poor or emotionally vulnerable. This is wrong at every level as people who need comfort & love…. get manipulated toward Christianity. Sometimes this process takes years to complete; however like a virus, once affected it will slowly start taking control.

They manipulate: It is no surprise that in Tamil, the holy bible is called Vedam, Christian priest is called Iyer. Church is called Kovil. Such dilutions were done so that they can attract and make Christianity more acceptable.

They pollute & destroy local cultures to their advantage. Local cultures are slowly displaced and replaced. For Example: Gurukul method of teaching.

They preach hatred in a very subtle way. They always teach about “us” and “them. They teach to ‘ tolerate’ however never to ‘accept’.

Screw every one in the name of secularism: Till the time they are converting, it is ok…the day they have resistance, they will play the secularism and minority card. For example, thousands of Hindu temples have been desecrated, however if one church got desecrated….it will become a symbol of oppression by the majority.

The Goa Inquisition

From: Mohan Natarajan < >

The Goa Inquisition

Dr. T. R. de Souza

“At least from 1540 onwards, and in the island of Goa before that year, all the Hindu idols had been annihilated or had disappeared, all the temples had been destroyed and their sites and building material was in most cases utilized to erect new Christian Churches and chapels. Various viceregal and Church council decrees banished the Hindu priests from the Portuguese territories; the public practices of Hindu rites including marriage rites, were banned; the state took upon itself the task of bringing up Hindu orphan children; the Hindus were denied certain employments, while the Christians were preferred; it was ensured that the Hindus would not harass those who became Christians, and on the contrary, the Hindus were obliged to assemble periodically in Churches to listen to prea! ching or to the refutation of their religion.”

“A particularly grave abuse was practiced in Goa in the form of ‘mass baptism’ and what went before it. The practice was begun by the Jesuits and was alter initiated by the Franciscans also. The Jesuits staged an annual mass baptism on the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25), and in order to secure as many neophytes as possible, a few days before the ceremony the Jesuits would go through the streets of the Hindu quarter in pairs, accompanied by their Negro slaves, whom they would urge to seize the Hindus. When the blacks caught up a fugitive, they would smear his lips with a piece of beef, making him an ‘untouchable’ among his people. Conversion to Christianity was then his only option.”

The Goan inquisition is regarded by all contemporary portrayals as the most violent inquisition ever executed by the Portuguese Catholic Church. It lasted from 1560 to 1812. The inquisition was set as a tribunal, headed by a judge, sent to Goa from Portugal and was assisted by two judicial henchmen. The judge was answerable to no one except to Lisbon and handed down punishments as he saw fit. The Inquisition Laws filled 230 pages and the palace where the Inquisition was conducted was known as the Big House and the Inquisition proceedings were always conducted behind closed shutters and closed doors. The screams of agony of the victims (men, women, and children) could be heard in the streets, in the stillness of the night, as they were brutally interrogated, flogged, and slowly dismembered in front of their relatives. Eyelids were sliced off and extremities were amputated carefully, a person could remain conscious even though the only thing that remained was his torso and head.

Diago de Boarda, a priest and his advisor Vicar General, Miguel Vazz had made a 41 point plan for torturing Hindus. Under this plan Viceroy Antano de Noronha issued in 1566, an order applicable to the entire area und! er Portuguese rule :

“I hereby order that in any area owned by my master, the king, nobody should construct a Hindu temple and such temples already constructed should not be repaired without my permission. If this order is transgressed, such temples shall be, destroyed and the goods in them shall be used to meet expenses of holy deeds, as punishment of such transgression.”

In 1567 the campaign of destroying temples in Bardez met with success. At the end of it 300 Hindu temples were destroyed. Enacting laws, prohibition was laid from December 4, 1567 on rituals of Hindu marriages, sacred thread wearing and cremation. All the persons above 15 years of age were compelled to listen to Christian preaching, failing which they were punished.

A religious fatva was issued on the basis of the findings of Goa Inquiry Commission. It stated, “…Hereby we declare the decision that the conventions mentioned in the preamble of the fatva as stated below are permanently d! eclared as useless, and therefore prohibited.”

Prohibitions Regarding Marriages

The instruments for Hindu songs shall not be played.
While giving dowry the relatives of the bride and groom must not be invited.
At the time of marriage, betel leaf packages (pan) must not be distributed either publicly or in private to the persons present.
Flowers, or fried puris, betel nuts and leaves must not be sent to the heads of the houses of the bride or groom.
Gotraj ceremony of family God must not be performed.
On the day prior to a wedding, rice must not be husked, spices must not be pounded, grains must not be ground and other recipes for marriage feast must not be cooked.
Pandals and festoons must not be used.
Pithi should not be applied.
The bride must not be accorded ceremonial welcome. The bride and groom must not be made to sit under pandal to convey blessings and best wishes to them.
The poor must not be fed or ceremonial meals must not be served for the peace of the souls of the dead.
There should be no fasting on ekadashi day.
Fasting can be done according to the Christian principles.
No rituals should be performed on the twelfth day after death, on moonless and full moon dates.
Hindu men should not wear dhoti either in public or in their houses. Women should not wear cholis .
They should not plant Tulsi in their houses, compounds, gardens or any other place.

Following the law of 1567, orphans were kidnapped for converting them to Christianity.

On September 22, 1570 an order was issued that : l

The Hindus embracing Christianity will be exempted from land taxes for a period of 15 years.
Nobody shall bear Hindu names or surnames.

In 1583 Hindu temples at Esolna and Kankolim were destroyed through army action.

“The fathers of the Church forbade the Hindus under terrible penalties the use of their own sacred books, and prevented them from all exercise of their religion. They destroyed their temples, and so harassed and interfered with the people that they abandoned the city in large numbers, refusing to remain any longer in a place where they had no liberty, and were liable to imprisonment, torture and death if they worshipped after their own fashion the gods of their fathers.” wrote Sasetti, who was in India from 1578 to 1588.

An order was issued in June 1684 eliminating Konkani language and makin! g it compulsory to speak Portuguese language. The law provided for dealing toughly with anyone using the local language. Following that law all the symbols of non-Christian sects were destroyed and the books written in local languages were burnt.

The Archbishop living on the banks of the Ethora had said during one of his lecture series, “The post of Inquiry Commission in Goa is regarded as holy.” The women who opposed the assistants of the commission were put behind the bars and were used by them to satisfy their animal instincts. Then they were burnt alive as opponents of the established tenets of the Catholic church.

The victims of such inhuman laws of the Inquiry Commission included a French traveller named Delone. He was an eye witness to the atrocities, cruelty and reign of terror unleashed by priests. He published a book in 1687 describing the lot of helpless victims. While he was in jail he had heard the cries of tortured people beaten with instruments havi! ng sharp teeth. All these details are noted in Delone’s book.

So harsh and notorious was the inquisition in Goa, that word of its brutality and horrors reached Lisbon but nothing was done to stop this notoriety and escalating barbarity and it continued for two hundred more years. No body knows the exact number of Goans subjected to these diabolical tortures, but perhaps it runs into hundreds of thousands, may be even more. The abominations of inquisitions continued until a brief respite was given in 1774 but four years later, the inquisition was introduced again and it continued un-interruptedly until 1812. At that point in time, in the year of 1812, the British put pressure on the Portuguese to put an end to the terror of Inquisition and the presence of British troops in Goa enforced the British desire. Also the Portuguese power at this time was declining and they could not fight the British. The palace of the Grand Inquisitor, the Big House, was demolished and no trace of ! it remains today, which might remind someone of inquisitions and the horrors inside this Big House that their great saint Francis Xavier had commenced.

Dr. Trasta Breganka Kunha, a Catholic citizen of Goa writes, “Inspite of all the mutilations and concealment of history, it remains an undoubted fact that religious conversion of Goans is due to methods of force adopted by the Portuguese to establish their rule. As a result of this violence the character of our people was destroyed. The propagation of Christian sect in Goa came about not by religious preaching but through the methods of violence and pressure. If any evidence is needed for this fact, we can obtain it through law books, orders and reports of the local rulers of that time and also from the most dependable documents of the Christian sect.â€

When Will It Do So for The Goa Inquisition?

SNAPSHOT

Among the comparatively milder measures of the Goa inquisition were forbidding more than 42 Hindu customs, including wearing the sacred thread, the tilak on the forehead, greeting people with a Namaste and removing of slippers outside a place of worship.

The palace has been razed to the ground. Hordes of chattering tourists walk over the site now, clicking selfies against the massive white-washed facade of Saint Catherine’s Church in Old Goa. Children crowd around an ice-cream cart. Couples canoodle under an ancient banyan tree nearby. No traces remain of the dreaded ‘Vhodle Ghor’ or the ‘Big House’ as it was referred to in hushed tones by the terrified people of Goa, except a few moss-covered blocks of laterite stones that lie scattered in the grass. Those stones are the only surviving witnesses of the bloodiest chapter in Goan history — that of the Goa Inquisition.

Return to the ruins of the Palace of The Inquisition in the evening, after the last busload of tourists has departed. Sit a while on a laterite block as the sun goes down. If you are sensitive enough, you can still hear the terrified screams of hapless victims being tortured inside the ‘Vhodle Ghor’ by the Inquisitor’s court. In 1560, the erstwhile palace of Adil Shah, the sultan of Bijapur, in Old Goa was turned into a terrible torture chamber with the addition of a chapel, the residence of the inquisitor, more than 200 windowless prison cells and many torture chambers.

Not many people outside Goa know about the terrible Goa Inquisition. The Inquisition was introduced in Goa in 1560 by the then Portuguese king Joao III at the behest of Francis Xavier, the Jesuit monk whose mummified remains lie in a Church just across the road from the site of the Palace of Inquisitions. Inquisition lasted in Goa till 1812 – a period of more than 250 years! It was temporarily abolished in 1774 by the relatively moderate Marquis De Pombal, but was reinstated promptly in 1778 after his fall from grace. Under the inquisition, thousands of people, both men and women, were arrested on charges of heresy and subjected to inhuman torture. Many were burnt alive at ritualistic public spectacles known as autos-da-fe.

The court of inquisition was set up as a royal tribunal, headed by a judge answerable only to the king based in Lisbon. One of the first acts of the inquisitor’s office in Goa was to forbid public practice of the Hindu faith. Hindus were forbidden to worship their Gods and Goddesses in public. In 1566, a vice-regal order prohibited Hindus from constructing temples or repairing old temples. In 1567 the Portuguese started destroying Hindu temples. In Bardez district alone, more than 300 temples were razed to the ground and Churches built in their place.

All Hindu rituals including marriages, thread ceremonies and cremations were banned by law. All people above 15 years of age were forced to attend Christian preachings. The palace of inquisition became a torture chamber for Hindus, Jews, Muslims and even for converted Christians who clung to their Hindu customs and traditions. More than 42 Hindu customs were considered heretical, including wearing the sacred thread, wearing a tilak on the forehead, greeting people with a Namaste and removing of slippers outside a place of worship.

Historian Alfredo de Mello describes the Goa Inquisition as a collection of ‘nefarious, fiendish, lustful, corrupt religious orders which pounced on Goa’. According to François Pyrard de Laval, a Frenchman who lived in Goa between 1608-1610, the Goa Inquisition was more severe than the one practiced in Portugal. The most authentic account of the tortures of the Goa Inquisition comes from another Frenchman, a doctor named Dillon, who was imprisoned at the palace of the Inquisition. He describes his experiences in his book ‘De Relation L’Inquisition De Goa’. The translation of this book is a part of the famous Goa historian A. K. Priolkar’s seminal work on the subject.

For me, the Goa Inquisition was not just a sterilized remote term to be read in history textbooks. My own family had borne the brunt of the Inquisition. My ancestors had to leave behind their village, their land and all their wealth to save their faith. As their original village Nagoa was destroyed by the Portuguese under the religious command of the fanatical Jesuit priests, my family moved to Cuncolim and started a new life. They made a choice to not surrender their faith. Some others chose otherwise. Converting to Christianity meant official patronage and a good life. The Court of Inquisition guaranteed “protection” to Hindus who converted to Christianity and gave them rights over the lands of people who had chosen to leave their homes rather than convert to Christianity.

In 1583, all temples in my own village of Cuncolim were destroyed by the Portuguese army under direct orders from the court of Inquisition. The proud warriors of my village were not ones to suffer in silence. They led an armed rebellion on 25 July 1583 against the Portuguese. Five Jesuit priests and 14 local converts were killed in the attack. Enraged by this, the Portuguese sent a massive army that burnt and pillaged the village and unleashed unspeakable atrocities on the people. The local warriors still did not give up. They merely hid in the surrounding forests and attacked the Portuguese forces using guerrilla tactics. The Portuguese then tried to be cunning. They invited the leaders of the revolution for talks at a nearby fort and in a stunning act of treachery, sixteen unarmed chieftains were brutally massacred by the Portuguese. Only one escaped by jumping into the river. The sacrifice of the chieftains of Cuncolim is still remembered in Goa as its first ever freedom struggle.

The effects of the Goa Inquisition are felt in Goa till today. There are families torn forever into two, one branch still carries the ancestral Hindu name while the other bears a Christian name. Churches exist where temples once stood.

A few days ago, the Catholic Church apologized for its role in the horrific 1994 genocide in Rwanda. A church statement officially accepted that its members planned, aided and executed the genocide, in which more than 800,000 people were brutally massacred. In 2015, Pope Francis had apologized for the “many grave sins” committed by the Church against the indigenous people of South America while speaking in Bolivia. Before that, his predecessor, Pope John Paul II had apologized to the Muslims for the crusades and to the Jewish people for the anti-Semitism of the Catholics that had aided the holocaust and for the involvement of the Church in African slave trade.

When will the Catholic Church apologize for the terrors of the Inquisition it inflicted upon the people of Goa?

1929 में गुलाम भारत में ईसाइयत के प्रचार-प्रसार के लिए वेटिकन सिटी ने अपना कर्मचारी बना कर मदर टरेसा को भेजा था। मदर टरेसा का समर्पण किसके प्रति था?मदर टरेसा का समर्पण ‘‘ वेटिकन सिटी ‘‘ के प्रति था। वेटिकन सिटी की ही वह कर्मचारी थी। वेटिकन सिटी कथैलिक ईसाई धर्म की राजधानी है और जिसका सर्वेसर्वा पोप होता है। मदर टरेसा का समर्पण उसी वेटिकन सिटी के प्रति था जिस वेटिकन सिटी के अनुआयियों ने भारत को गुलाम बनाया था, मदर टरेसा का समर्पण उसी वेटिकन सिटी के प्रति जिस वेटिकन सिटी के अनुआयियों ने अफ्रीका में छुआछूत और रंगभेद का नंगा नाच किया था और जिसके विरोध में नेल्सन मंडेला को 30 सालों तक जेल में रहना पड़ा था, मदर टरेसा का समर्पण उसी वेटिकन सिटी के प्रति था जिसके अनुआयी अमेरिका पर कब्जा कर अमेरिका के आदिवासी और मूल निवासी रेड इंडियनो की संस्कृति को जमीेदोज की थी रेड इंडियन आज तक अमेरिका में रंगभेद के शिकार हैं, जिनके साथ पशुवत व्यवहार होता है और जिन्हें राजनीतिक तौर पर हाशिये पर रखा गया है।, मदर टरेसा का समर्पण उसी वेटिकन सिटी के प्रति था जिस वेटिकन सिटी के अनेको पादरी अमेरिका और यूरोप में बाल यौन शोषण के आरोपी रहे हैं जिन्हें सजा के लिए कानून को सौंपने की जगह उनके नाम और पते बदल कर भारत और अफ्रीकी देशों में भेज दिये गये थे। वेटिकन सिटी आज भी बाल यौन शोषण के आरोपी पादरियों की असली पहचान बताने से इनकार करती रही है। अनाथ बच्चों को ईसाई मिशनरियां किस प्रकार से ईसाई बनाती हैं, यह कौन नहीं जानता है।

भारत में अनेकानेक संगठन और हस्तियां रहें हैं जिन्होंने मानवता की सेवा में सर्वश्रेष्ठ योगदान देने की सफलतम कोशिश की है पर इन्हें मदर टरेसा जैसा सौभाग्य नहीं मिला। रामकृष्ण मिशन ने अनाथ बच्चों की सेवा में बडा योगदान दिया है। हरिद्वार और वाराणसी में बीमार, बुजुर्ग और असहाय तथा अनाथ महिलाओं की रक्षा और उनके जीवन को सुखमय बनाने में कई संगठन और कई धार्मिक हस्तियां लगी हुई हैं पर इन संगठनों और इन हस्तियों की चर्चा तक नहीं होती है। इन्हें विदेशी फड नहीं मिलते हैं और न ही देशी सरकारों से फंड मिलते हैं। पर वेटिकन सिटी और अन्य ईसाइयत के संगठनों को न केवल विदेशी फंड मिलते हैं और बल्कि देशी सरकारों से भी करोड़ों-अरबों का फंड मिलता है। भारज में अंधविश्वास को दूर करने और शती प्रथा जैसी हिंसक धार्मिक बुराइयों को समाप्त करने के लिए राजा राम मोहन राय ने बड़ी भूमिका निभायी थी, रामकृष्ण परमहंस और दयानंद सरस्वती ने धार्मिक पाखंड को समाप्त करने के लिए बडी भूमिका निभायी थी। पर क्या रामकृष्ण परमहंस और दयानंद सरस्वती को नोबेल पुरकार मिला था? उत्तर नहीं। पर अधविश्वास के प्रतीक चमत्माकर को स्थापित करने वाले,विदेशी पैसे पर सेवाभाव करने वाले, गुलाम भारत पर एक शव्द भी न बोलने वाले को न केवल नोबल पुरस्कार मिलता है बल्कि वेटिकन सिटी संत भी घोषित कर देता है।

(2) क्या मदर टेरेसा संत थीं?

केथोलिक संप्रदाय के विश्व-गुरु पोप फ्रांसिस आज मदर टेरेसा को संत की उपाधि प्रदान करेंगे। मदर टेरेसा भारतीय नागरिक थीं। इसलिए उन्हें कोई संत कहे और विश्व-स्तर पर कहे तो क्या हमें अच्छा नहीं लगेगा? वैसे भी उन्हें भारत-रत्न और नोबेल पुरस्कार भी मिल चुका है। उनके योगदान पर कई पुस्तकें भी आ चुकी हैं और छोटी-मोटी फिल्में भी बन चुकी हैं।

लेकिन मेरे मन में आज यह जिज्ञासा पैदा हुई कि मालूम करुं कि केथोलिक संप्रदाय में संत किसे घोषित किया जाता है? संत किसे माना जाता है? दो शर्तें हैं। एक शर्त तो यह है कि जो ईसा मसीह के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित करे और दूसरी यह कि जो जीते-जी या मरने के बाद भी कम से कम दो चमत्कार करे। टेरेसा ने ये दोनों शर्तें पूरी की हैं। इसीलिए पूरी खात्री करने के बाद रोमन केथोलिक चर्च आज उन्हें ‘संत’ की सर्वोच्च उपाधि से विभूषित कर रहा है।

जहां तक ‘चमत्कारों’ की बात है, यह शुद्ध पाखंड है। विज्ञान, विवेक और तर्क की तुला पर उन्हें तोला जाए तो ये चमत्कार शुद्ध अंधविश्वास सिद्ध होंगे। टेरेसा का पहला चमत्कार वह था, जिसमें उन्होंने एक बंगाली औरत के पेट की रसौली को अपने स्पर्श से गला दिया। उनका दूसरा चमत्कार माना जाता है, एक ब्राजीलियन आदमी के मष्तिष्क की कई गांठों को उन्होंने गला दिया। यह चमत्कार उन्होंने अपने स्वर्गवास के 11 साल बाद 2008 में कर दिखाया। ऐसे हास्यास्पद चमत्कारों को संत-पद के लिए जरुरी कैसे माना जाता है? ऐसे चमत्कार सिर्फ ईसाइयत में ही नहीं हैं, हमारे भारत के हिंदू पाखंडी, स्याने-भोपे और बाजीगर भी दिखाते रहते हैं और अपनी दुकानें चलाते रहते हैं।

जहां तक मदर टेरेसा की मानव-सेवा की बात है, उसकी भी पोल उन्हीं के साथी अरुप चटर्जी ने अपनी किताब में खोलकर रखी है। उसने बताया है कि मदर टेरेसा का सारा खेल मानव-करुणा पर आधारित था। वे अपने आश्रमों में मरीजों, अपंगों, नवजात फेंके हुए बच्चों, मौत से जूझते लोगों को इसलिए नहीं लाती थीं कि उनका इलाज हो सके बल्कि इसलिए लाती थीं कि उनकी भयंकर दुर्दशा दिखाकर लोगों को करुणा जागृत की जा सके। उनके पास समुचित इलाज की कोई व्यवस्था नहीं थी और मरनेवालों के सिर पर पट्टी रखकर उन्हें वे छल-कपट से बपतिस्मा दे देती थीं याने ईसाई बना लेती थीं। मरते हुए आदमी से वे पूछ लेंती थीं कि ‘क्या तुमको स्वर्ग जाना है?’ इस प्रश्न के जवाब में ‘ना’ कौन कहेगा? ‘हां’ का मतलब हुआ बपतिस्मा। किसी को दवा देकर या पढ़ाकर या पेट भरकर बदले में उसका धर्म छीनने से अधिक अनैतिक कार्य क्या हो सकता है? कोई स्वेच्छा और विवेक से किसी भी धर्म में जाए तो कोई बुराई नहीं है लेकिन इस तरह का काम क्या कोई संत कभी कर सकता है? 1994 में लंदन में क्रिस्टोफर हिचंस और तारिक अली ने एक फिल्म बनाई, जिसमें मदर टेरेसा के आश्रमों का आंखों देखा हाल दिखाया गया था। हिचंस ने फिर एक किताब भी लिखी। उसमें बताया कि कैसे हैती के बदनाम और लुटेरे तानाशाह ज्यां क्लाड दुवालिए से टेरेसा ने सम्मान और धनराशि भी हासिल की। लंदन के राबर्ट मेक्सवेल और चार्ल्स कीटिंग-जैसे अपराधियों से उन्होंने करोड़ों रु. लिये। उन्होंने आपात्काल का समर्थन किया और भोपाल गैस-कांड पर लीपा-पोती की। धन्य है, मदर टेरेसा, जिनके संत बनने पर हमारे भोले प्रचार प्रेमी नेता वेटिकन पहुंच गए हैं।

Mother Teresa Was A Crook And A Fraud

Mother Teresa Was A Crook And A Fraud

By Morris M. , September 27, 2015

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” —Mother Teresa

In A Nutshell

The words “Mother Teresa” are modern-shorthand for things like “good,” “kind-hearted,” and “selfless.” Unfortunately, the real Mother Teresa was an authoritarian crook who palled around with some of the most despicable men of her day.

The Whole Bushel

Mother Teresa is famed for being one of history’s true altruists. She devoted her life to the poor, opening her first Missionaries of Charity home in 1950s Calcutta, and going on to open hundreds more across the world. As word of her mission spread, it caught the public imagination and millions of dollars began to pour in, all of which went to help those who needed it most. At least, that’s the official version.

The reality is far grimmer. According to those who’ve volunteered there, Mother Teresa’s missions are squalid cesspits run along violent, authoritarian lines. There are reports of unruly children being tied to beds and beaten, of outdated equipment not being replaced, and of needles being reused in countries with high HIV infection rates (such as Haiti) until they were so blunt they caused pain. All of this wrapped up in a culture of unquestioning obedience, secrecy, and control that is said to resemble a cult.

This might all be okay if the Missionaries were doing some good, but they’re not. In 1991, German magazine Stern revealed that only 7 percent of donations to the organization were used for charity. The rest was funneled into secret bank accounts or used to build more missions. There are reports that missions won’t even buy bread to feed their inmates, preferring instead to rely only on donated food.

And where does all this money come from? Well, some of it comes from regular, kind-hearted folk giving what they can. A heck of a lot more came from some of the most evil men who ever lived. Mother Teresa herself personally took large donations from the psychopathic Haitian dictator “Baby Doc,” publicly defending his blood-soaked rule in return. In the 1990s, fraudster Charles Keating donated $1.25 million of stolen money to the Missionaries. When asked to return the fraudulent money, Mother Teresa simply stayed silent.

Mother Teresa undoubtedly did some good things in her time, but they may yet be overshadowed by her awful legacy. In 2010, Forbes revealed that the first home she set up had a mortality rate of over 40 percent. To paraphrase an old saying, if the poor have friends like her, they no longer need enemies.

In the view of non-Xians below are superstitions propagated by Xianity.

Some ancient Greek or Romans dated the creation (beginning with Chaos or Gaia) only a few hundred years before Ogyges (2376–2050 BC).^[12]
Satan exists and competes with God.
Adam and Eve were the first humans born after the creation.
All humans born of a couple are sinners.
The dead Xians will rise from the graves.
Only Jesus has monopoly to save the so called sinners.
One can go to haven only through Jesus.
Non-Xians will go to hell.

TREACHERY OF CHRISTIANITY

From: Mohan Natarajan < >

TREACHERY OF CHRISTIANITY

“The spiritual equipage of Islam and Christianity is similar, their spiritual contents, both in quality and quantum, are about the same. The central piece of the two creeds is ‘ONE TRUE GOD’, of masculine gender who makes himself known to his believers through an equally single favored individual. – – The whole prophetic spirituality, whether found in the Bible or the Koran, is mediumistic in essence. Here everything takes place through a proxy, through an intermediary.

Here man knows God through a proxy; and probably God too knows man through the same proxy. The proxy is the favored individual, a privileged mediator. – – . There are other similarities of the same fundamental kind into which we need not go here.

But none of them are calculated to promote peace.

The seeds of conflict, not only amongst the ‘believers’ but also with the rest of the world, lie at the very heart of these two ideologies. Each of the two is presided over by a ‘bellicose God’, each chief of his own hosts; each claims sole sovereignty.

A larger charity and mutual respect and even tolerance, and co-existence cannot be strong points of such theologies”

A convoluted path to salvation

Priyadarshi Dutta

03 July 2015

[Christian missionaries in India have been quiet on the White supremacist attack on a Black church in the US, because it disrupts their narrative of Christianity as a superior faith that can provide succor to marginalized Hindus]

Christian activists in India had breathed fire and brimstone over some obscure attacks on the churches in New Delhi not long ago.

Not a single person was scathed in those attacks. No hate graffiti, banner or literature was recovered from the spots.

Yet, those isolated incidents were quickly attributed to the BJP’s ascension to power.

On one occasion, the Delhi Police Headquarters was gheraoed, and on another, roads in the heart of the city were blocked.

Christian activists met the Union Home Minister and suggested amendments in the Indian Penal Code/Code of Criminal Procedure for as ‘hate crimes’.

But those activists preferred to look the other way when a racist massacre at a US church outraged the conscience of the world.

The reason was not because the US is another country, half-a-world away from India, but engaging with the Charleston shootout could undermine the new race theory that the Christian activists/missionaries are surreptitiously cultivating in India.

Few realize the disaster potential of this new race theory using Indian mythological figures/motifs.

On June 17, a lethal mass shooting inside Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina claimed nine lives.

The victims were all Blacks, including a State Senator.

The crime was racist not simply because Dylann Storm Roof, the 21-year old assailant, was a White man.

It was categorically racist because Roof had revived the controversial flag used by the Confederate States during the American Civil War.

In 1861, the States of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas that had broken away from the US.

These States were bastions of Black slavery; and seceded in defiance of Abraham Lincoln’s intention to abolish that evil.

The secession proved transitory, as the Confederates were worsted by the Unionists in a four-year long bitter war.

But the defeat of the Confederates in 1865 did not imply cessation of racism in the southern States.

Lincoln himself was shot dead by a White supremacist.

The racist secret society, Ku Klux Klan, set up in Tennessee by Confederate war veterans in 1866, spread a reign of terror.

In defiance of the 13th (1865), 14th (1868) and 15th (1870) Amendments of the US Constitution that abolished slavery, emancipated the Blacks and enfranchised them respectively, the southern States began a 100-year long regime of racial segregation.

This came to a close only in 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was promulgated.

An interesting feature of the Civil Rights Movement was that it was born in the lap of Black community churches.

Reverend George Lee, the first martyr of the movement, ran four churches in addition to his grocery shop.

He was among the first who tried to register for vote Mississippi but Sheriff Ike Skelton rejected it.

The father and grandfather of Martin Luther King Jr were pastors in Atlanta, Georgia. King himself became the Minister at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama.

No wonder, Black churches had been targeted by White supremacists.

What explains this silence in the Charleston massacre case, passed off as a non-event for Indian Christian activists?

Not that they were silent altogether during the period.

They let their unease about the International Day of Yoga be known on Facebook pages.

Mr. John Dayal [the QUISLING] informed that he would be holidaying away from the hustle and bustle of Delhi.

He did not forget to add that there would be no television to interrupt his retreat with ‘wall-to-wall publicity of Yoga Day’.

Allahabad-based Vishal Mangalwadi advised Christians to stay away from Yoga.

They chose silence on Charleston massacre because it punctured the holy myth that Christianity is liberating.

It will expose that Christianity has failed to bridge the racial divide.

Thus Christianity is unlikely to be a model for the SCs/STs and OBCs in India.

There has been noticeable shift in the approach of Christian activists/missionaries towards India.

It is no longer the straight path of converting people.

They want to stir up conflict within the Hindu fold.

This is being done by co-opting figures, expression of speech, ideas from within the Indic tradition.

For a change, Jesus Christ is no longer being projected as the model and the goal.

Rather Mahishasur, Bali Raja and Jyotirba Phuleare being projected as heroes for some segments of Hindu community.

For the last few years, a Mahishasura Martyrdom Day is being observed in Jawarharlal Nehru University.

The media describes it as expression of protest against Brahmanic narrative.

But few know that its intellectual arsenal comes from a bilingual magazine Forward Press.

It published a special issue of Mahishasura last year where it gave a derogatory description of goddess Durga.

Interestingly, Forward Press is owned by a Spanish man, Ivan Anthony Kostka. He and his wife are directors of Aspire Prakashan Private Limited.

Why are two Spaniards, who are not academics, publishing a magazine on Dalit issues?

Similarly missionary Sunil Sardar, married to a White American lady Pam Sardar, and working in Maharashtra tried to con people by projecting Jesus as Baliraja.

His deen bandhu (friend of the poor) Ministry, launched in 1990s in Yavatmal, described baptism by water as Ganga-Snan to beguile the tribesmen.

[COMMENT: Please read Sita Ram Goel’s:

“CATHOLIC ASHRAMS: SANYASINS OR SWINDLERS?”

http://www.voiceofdharma.org/books/ca/%5D

He runs Truth-seeker International whose website says, “Truth-seekers is committed to the belief that the Gospel of Jesus will destroy one of the most grievous violations of human rights still in existence — the caste system. The caste system is a hierarchy of slavery defined and justified by the religion known to the world as Hinduism”.

Goa Inquisition was Most Merciless and Cruel to the Hindus

Perhaps because of its Catholic fervor, the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa, became the most severe and cruel of all the Portuguese territories. The inquisitors in Goa ———————————-

Three kinds of torture and many more cruel methods practiced in India and some kind of similar kind of cruel methods all over the world were practiced by Christians : ——-

1) the rope or the pulley method ,

2) water method

3) fire method .

The torture by rope: the rope or the pulley method, consisted of the arms being tied backwards and then raised by a pulley, leaving the victim hanging for some time, and then let the victim drop down to half a foot above the floor, then raised again. These continued up-and-down movement dislocated the joints and made the prisoner emit horrible cries of pain. This torture went on for an hour till the victim accept Christianity or die.

The torture by water was as follows: the victim was made to lie across an iron bar, and was forced to imbibe water without stopping. The iron bar broke the vertebrae and caused horrible pains, whereas the water treatment provoked vomits and asphyxia for an hour till the victim accept Christianity or die .

The torture by fire was definitely the worst: the victim was hung above a fire, which warmed the soles of the feet, and the jailers rubbed bacon and other combustible materials on the feet. The feet were burned until the victim confessed.

These last two tortures lasted for about an hour till the victim accept Christianity or die. The house of torments was a subterranean grotto, so that other might not hear the cries of the wretched. Many a time, the victims died under torture; their bodies were interred within the compound, and the bones were exhumed for the “auto da fe”, and burnt in public.
