Hare Krishna,

PAMHO,

AGTSP!

 These days where ever you go people are discussing about terrorism. Muslims may call

it as holy war or Jihad. In our philosophy also there were holy wars like Mahabharata Yudh and Ramayan Yudh etc. but Supreme lord was personally involved. Now my question is who

are these muslims,  what category they fall into?  How come they are so fanatic to an  extent

they give up and take others lives for religion without second thought. I learnt from many sources that there main aim is to kill all who are non-muslims. I have many muslim friends usually

they are good with me but when it comes to religious discussions they don't open up like we

do. I just wanted to know the similarities between Sanatana dharma and ISLAM but to my

astonishment I found in ISLAM everything is reverse to what we practise. Who are these middle east and Asian people. I know Europeans and Russians are mostly Aryans. What is the history of

ISLAM?

The way these attacks and beheadings are happening, I feel kaliyuga will end soon. we have to think twice before going to any shopping mall or attend any celebration in western countries due to the fear of terrorist attacks. What is the future of our kids? Will Krishna himself have to come to finish this terrorism or its just sign of kaliyuga. Please share your knowledge.

Your Servant

Aakash

  • Sri Haridasa namacarya said : 

     "All living entities in creation are inspired by the Lord in the heart to act in different ways. People of different religions praise the Lord's holy names and qualities according to the view of their scriptures. The Supreme Lord accepts everyone's mood. If anyone shows malice towards another's religion he ac­tually shows malice to the Lord Himself, who is worshiped by that religion. Since God is one, that person becomes envious of the same Supreme Lord that he himself is worshiping."

    .

    Anyway, devotional service of person  can be mainly classified based on predominating material gunas : 

    .

    SB 3.29.7 — Lord Kapila, the Personality of Godhead, replied: O noble lady, there are multifarious paths of devotional service in terms of the different qualities of the executor.
    SB 3.29.8 — Devotional service executed by a person who is envious, proud, violent and angry, and who is a separatist, is considered to be in the mode of darkness.
    SB 3.29.9 — The worship of Deities in the temple by a separatist, with a motive for material enjoyment, fame and opulence, is devotion in the mode of passion.
    SB 3.29.10 — When a devotee worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead and offers the results of his activities in order to free himself from the inebrieties of fruitive activities, his devotion is in the mode of goodness.

    .
                                                                                  SB.1.8.28
    My Lord, I consider Your Lordship to be eternal time, the supreme controller, without beginning and end, the all-pervasive one. In distributing Your mercy, You are equal to everyone. The dissensions between living beings are due to social intercourse.
                                                                                    Purport: 

    Kuntīdevī knew that Kṛṣṇa was neither her nephew nor an ordinary family member of her paternal house. She knew perfectly well that Kṛṣṇa is the primeval Lord who lives in everyone’s heart as the Supersoul, Paramātmā. Another name of the Paramātmā feature of the Lord is kāla, or eternal time. Eternal time is the witness of all our actions, good and bad, and thus resultant reactions are destined by Him. It is no use saying that we do not know why and for what we are suffering. We may forget the misdeed for which we may suffer at this present moment, but we must remember that Paramātmā is our constant companion, and therefore He knows everything, past, present and future. And because the Paramātmā feature of Lord Kṛṣṇa destines all actions and reactions, He is the supreme controller also. Without His sanction not a blade of grass can move. The living beings are given as much freedom as they deserve, and misuse of that freedom is the cause of suffering. The devotees of the Lord do not misuse their freedom, and therefore they are the good sons of the Lord. Others, who misuse freedom, are put into miseries destined by the eternal kāla. The kāla offers the conditioned souls both happiness and miseries. It is all predestined by eternal time. As we have miseries uncalled-for, so we may have happiness also without being asked, for they are all predestined by kāla. No one is therefore either an enemy or friend of the Lord. Everyone is suffering and enjoying the result of his own destiny. This destiny is made by the living beings in course of social intercourse. Everyone here wants to lord it over the material nature, and thus everyone creates his own destiny under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. He is all-pervading and therefore He can see everyone’s activities. And because the Lord has no beginning or end, He is known also as the eternal time, kāla.

    .

    Bg 2.19 Neither he who thinks the living entity the slayer nor he who thinks it slain is in knowledge, for the self slays not nor is slain.

    Bg 2.28 — All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation? 

    SB 4.11.24 — My dear son, those Yakṣas, who are descendants of Kuvera, are not actually the killers of your brother; the birth and death of every living entity are caused by the Supreme, who is certainly the cause of all causes.

    SB 4.11.26 — The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Supersoul of all living entities. He is the controller and maintainer of everyone; through the agency of His external energy, He creates, maintains and annihilates everyone.

    I hope you are able to understand know real truth behind all your questions, like a person who was talking nonsense  in a deep dream and then suddenly wake up and realize : oh, that was just a dream.

     
    • Ok Dean Prabhu,

      Then as per your explaination Islam is also one of the paths that lead to Krishna. Anyway my question why Islam preaches so much violence and why are muslims so fanatic. What species they belong to?

      • Every religion preach non violence for spiritual progress, and thats a fact.

        But on another side, same religious scriptures proscribe to execute duties of defending religious principles and peace with violence.

        If you are soldier, you need to execute your duty. Sri Krishna was explaining that very well to Arjuna.

        Celestial soldiers, who are vaishnavas, always kill demons to protect religious principles and peace in the universe, based on vedic scriptures. Of course, they usually not killing those who are not  the soldiers eager to fight.

        In Kali yuga, human society is led by atheistic demons in human forms, with the goal of stealing material benefit from others and irreligious sense gratification life. Therefore all religions who are against it, are their worse enemy.

        We can see that targets are ordinary people from all sides, women and kids, animals, forests..,

        not soldiers who are eager to fight, therefore such acts are sinful which leading to hell.

        We can conclude that nowadays real dharma doesnt exist, because gone when Lord left :

        SB 11.31.7

        divi dundubhayo neduḥ
         petuḥ sumanasaś ca khāt
        satyaṁ dharmo dhṛtir bhūmeḥ
         kīrtiḥ śrīś cānu taṁ yayuḥ
        Translation: 
        As soon as Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa left the earth, Truth, Religion, Faithfulness, Glory and Beauty immediately followed Him. Kettledrums resounded in the heavens and flowers showered from the sky.
        .

        Besides all that, we never should forget this :

        yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
         tyajaty ante kalevaram
        taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya
         sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

        Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.” (Bg. 8.6)

        .

        The most important moment in life, is the moment of death, no matter who person is. 

        Anyway, Vaishnavas  should always think on Lord, praying to Him, and whatever happens "good or bad" always thinking and saying; " its Lords ultimate will, therefore we take the shelter on His lotus feet ".

        With such mood, the door of bhakti and transcendental knowledge  starting to open,  

        clearing like summer sun, all black clouds of illusion.

      • hare krishna prabhuji

        Please accept my humble obeisances

        all glories to srila prabhupada

        In my opinion, when a scripture is given by a messenger or god himself, it gets contaminated by the thoughts of interpreters. The interpretations made from the scriptures changes the main aim of the same. It pollutes the whole idea and create a conclusion as per their will. All scriptures have been written for the well being of the human life, no scripture has been written for violence. The way it is being tought is the main problem. It is not for kuran, it is equally applicable for srmad bhagvad gita. Srila prabhupada has mentioned this fact in many of his lectures and in many places in bhagvad gita as it is. We would have to read the scriptures with the fact of purpose of the same in mind while taking and making any interpretation from the same. The terrorists are making fool of some innocent people by taking some verses from kuran and interpreting in a way that their purpose is met. Those foolish people just on the name of kuran, trust on those interpretations and follow what they say. Thats the point from which the whole terrorism starts.  

        this is my view.
