If Ozi can play his game, I too can Play the same Game in my Own...Though I dont believe in the entire religion or god Hogwash, i can also dothe same thing..so here goes...
IS Jesus Christ Mentioned in the Puranas and other 'anceint' vedic literature??
SourcePlease note : I do credit the source of the quoted material, unlike some others!!
Note : I wonder what is the autheniticity of the statement that these stuff were written in the ancient times?
Couldnt it be that these were added to the scriptures by charlantans after they came to know about jesus et al. Like in another topic in Ancient Mysteries, i read that the Popul Vuh which is considered as an ancient text is indeed later creation by spanish missionaries, who have introduced creationist stuff into the texts.
Who knows, most probably the stuff of Prophet muhammed must also have been introduced into the puranas by charlatans!!
Ok, I am happy that you have decided to take this approach. Firsly i would like to appologise for the late reply, this due to the Arsenal playing AC Milan in the champions league, it took priority. I did mention to sunny, that i have technical problems on being able to post anything on the thread, the page never seemed to materialise when i tried, yet some parts of UM would work for me, Im afraid im not to computer literate.
Now to the topic at hand, let me break it down. The above notion has already been answered if you actually had the courtesy of reading the links I provided against Mr Anderson, When sunny posted, the above is also answered in the there, but for convenience here you are
link. But first funnily enough even DAkwind decided to post the same india divine site. LOL. Jokers, and you think this is credible material, its about as credible as WIKI, the latter prob still more credible. LOL.
The authors of that article, have no scholarly credibility, the are poeple contributing to an unregulated forum, where poeple are giving their interpretations of transalations, not even the original sanskrit, but translations, some of which are dubious and the translations source is never given. Then the above is about jesus, which even their dubious interpretation of the translation and commentary, so how does it prove that, the source is not authentic and its not a prophecy. Also by the way, im dealing with Muhammed, i am not too fussed about jesus, although that is nice too, to have him prophecised, because the messiah often was, but not as much as the seal of the prophets, muhammed. You say could it be that they were written added on to by later charlatans, a hollow claim, but valid, but no evidence to support it. You see the divine india site is quite happy to use one translation and interpret that still in its own unique way, to make claim that the book did prophecise jesus, but when its turns to Islam, they choose a different option, they dont even use any translation, and just posted an article where some by the name Sri X X, cant remember the last part, gives his interpretation of a translation, which is dubious, and never referred to. Hmmm very academic. This i will elobrate on further.

Right. There is a 'Mahamada' which now Ozi claims is Mohammed.
When, this so called Mahamada went with the king to the great lor Shiva......wait a minute!!
Prophet muhammed worships only one god...according to him...Allah...what the hel lwas he doing there with the kibng going and worshipping the 'great god' shiva????
if this mahamada worshipped the greart god shiva, then why the hell didnt he ask his followers to worship the great god too???
TYPICAL IGNORANT MISTAKE - THE HINDUS REVERE SHIVA AS A GOD. THIS IS THEIR REFERENCE TO GOD, THEIR NAME FOR GOD, MAYBE ONCE A PROPHET OF GOD, A MAN, BUT LATER REVERED AS A GOD, LIKE JESUS TODAY! MUHAMMED WORSHIPS GOD, ALLAH, EVEN THE HINDUS HAVE A SUPREME GOD. MUHAMMED CARRIED THE SAME MESSAGE THAT THE HINDU SCRIPTURES, CHRISTIAN, JEWISH, ETC ETC ALL CARRY AT THEY CORE, WORSHIP ONE GOD, ALLAH, OR WHAT EVER THEY CALL HIM.doesnt make sense !!
TO IGNORANT PEOPLE IT MAY NOT!See? this so called Mahamada was a charlatan, trying to cheat a king by creating illusions that his god has become his servant...akin to the serpent trying to entice eve to get the furit...hmmmm...
THIS IS PURELY BASED ON SOME UNKOWN INDVIVUDAL MISINTPRETATION OF A MISTRANSLATION, HENCE THE SOURCE OF THE TRANSLATION IS NEVER PROVIDED. HMMM.Here mahamada of course admits that the king's religion is the best religion among all, but still he wants to form another religion!!! hmmmmm
and an apt description of the relgion's tenets!!
SAME APPLIES TO ALL THIS, AND ABOVE, MISINTERPRETATION OF A MISTRANSLATION.Note : All quotes -
SourcePlease note - Unlike Some others, I do credit the sources of the quotes!!
SO to address my claims above lets see..........firstly what the editors of the site say themselves. if you notice the remarks below, it would have been nice if it was side by side with the sanskrit, dreaming i know, such a site would not do that, it would expose their devious tactics and authors.
"The information you find on this site is not the result of an academic study of books and histories. This knowledge is transcendental and has been passed on for thousands of years in an unbroken chain of disciplic succession. All information is provided by practitioners who have dedicated their lives to these ancient mystical sciences. It is through realization that this knowledge has been handed down, not through academic study.
If you are looking for text book information or theoretical knowledge, this is certainly the wrong place for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for direct spiritual experience, as has been preserved by the Rishis and Drashtas from time immemorial, then we welcome you. Material knowledge can be learnt and acquired through mundane study of texts, but spiritual knowledge must be cultivated through a process that transcends the mundane realm. "The above is what the site has to say about itself, its admitting its setup is to spread a spiritual word, its has no academic credbility, although they do have Swamis, but they still dont carry the same authority as Pandits, the latter have more knowledge than anyone on Sanskrit, and only a few a classed as leading authorities. They are the ones that work in tandemn with those who translate the vedas in the english, but not just any tom dick and harry, but worthy and credible people. Now this is how translations work, the person translation the language has to be an expert in the source language, if not, he must use a credbile and recongnised expert of the language. They then work together to choose the best words that fit the original, mistakes can be made, but in cases where there is grey area, the leading authority becomes the expert in the language, not the the translator. But in your posts, they usse some translations, which are not sourced, then apart from the jesus post, where they do re-inforce the prophecy, with muhammed they decide to use an interpretation of a dubious translation and dont source it, and you expect me to take it seriously, when the editors and the site owners dont take themselves academically serious at all. In my opinion its the sites attempt to deviously mis represent the true verses and their message of muhammed, due to fear that many hindus are turning to islam, when exposed to this knowledge in india, where they have more access and better understanding of the original language, and the use of expert pandits, the latters being vital. This clearly proves, that the post is futile and it cant be even taken as reliable, like MR Anderson.
Unfortunately last night i was watching football, tonight im playing football, so i need to finish here. But before i go, I just wanted to request, please do not post anymore, just yet, because mainly i need to address your other post, the Devi Chand Translation, just briefly to make sure your waiting in anticipation, Devi Chand is no Pandit, you being from india, will know what authority they have in hinduism and Sanskrit. Also the article you have posted, refers to Dr Haqs, points about the verse and he uses a translation of a much more credible source, infact, he uses several, some pandits and some non hindu credible sources, who have the credibility of being classed as the most authentic and reliable sources, the funny things is, the article you posted, the author himself provides a link to devi chand, without realising he does not know who's book is at the top of the list, non other than one of the sources of Dr Haq, the reliable and most authentic, as mentioned on that site itself. LOL.
"I do not say that all the other translations which Dr. Haq has produced to prove the prophecy of Muhammad are mistranslated ones. I don't have the translations of Bhavishya Purana with me. Soon I will find out the truth. If the above `translations' of Rig and Atharva Veda are an indication, I have every reason to doubt the validity of their other `translations' also! "The above is a direct quote from the author, check this out for authenticity and credibility to be judge and jury on this matter. Firstly, he says not all of Dr Haqs quotes are mistranslations, and fails to point out which ones, not just that, he does not even know the source of the translations and who was the author of them, yet he goes on to judge him based on some one elses translations which seems justified to him, unusual approach, firstly lack of research on Dr Haq, secondly he fails to even the source, and when he provides the source for Devi Chand, on the same source is the actual author of the most reliable and authentic translations, from which Dr Haq took the verses, so who has more credibility, i let you decide.
linkLike sunny you will probable go on about, that its simple opinion etc, wrong. There is opinion and then there is credible opinion based on reliable authentic and proven sources, in the main Pandits, for example the root of this debate was the Kalki Avatar, below i will post a quote direct from a Prof, and Pandit, he is both, then you tell me who is more credible, but first, back to this point of opinions, i have only given you a teaser here towards that last article you posted, I am still to break it down further, but unfortunately time does not permit me to do so.
For now i leave you with this, please dont post anymore articles, you can respond to this, surely, but let me deal with your article fully, then i will move on to others.
Before I continue with the verses and their explanations, let me bring one point to your attention that the translations below are the work of Pandit Raja Ram.
Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 5 to 8
"A foreigner spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mohammad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the Panchgavya and the Ganga water (i.e. purifying him of all sins) offered him the present of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, "I make obeisance to thee. O ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malecha opponents."
The Prophecy clearly states:
The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.
He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.
Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas. No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
He is referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath). The Glorious Qur’an reconfirms this
"And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character"
[Al-Qur'an 68:4]
"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)".
[Al-Qur'an 33:21]
He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.
The Prophet will be given protection against his enemy.
You see the above is a translation of Pandit RamRaja, well recognised and credible. He is an expert in the sanskrit, and thus used an expert in english to translate it in to english. Not some cowboy, giving his opinion, based on either dubious or mistranslations etc.
More to come on your article tomorrow roughly same time.
SUNNY.......
I dont care what you posted about me, to take people away from the truth and a proper debate, i dint expect it to get personal. Anyway, their my opinions, most provided sufficient, evidence, only the blind, deaf and dumb will always fail to see it, its meant metophorically, that your heart is closed to the truth.
