Trecho do livro 'o Bhagavat, sua teologia, sua ética e sua filsofia'- Bhaktivinod Thakur
“Que
tipo de coisa é isso O Bhagavat?”, pergunta o cavalheiro europeu que
recentemente chegou a Índia. Seu amigo lhe diz com um olhar sereno que o
Bhagavat é um livro, o qual seu amigo de Orissa recita diariamente à
noite para alguns ouvintes. Isto é composto de gírias não-inteligentes e
uma literatura selvagem daqueles homens que pintam seus
narizes com um pouco de barro ou sândalo e colocam colares de contas ao
redor do pescoço procurando salvação para si próprio. Um outro amigo
que viajou um pouco pelo interior, iria imediatamente contradizê-lo e
falaria que o Bhagavat é um trabalho Sânscrito clamado por uma classe de
homens, os Goswamis, que outorgam mantras ao povo comum da Bengala
assim como o papa faz na Itália, e perdoa seus pecados sob o pagamento
em forma de ouro para manter suas despesas sociais. Um terceiro
cavalheiro repetirá uma terceira explicação. Um jovem Bengali, educado
nos pensamentos e idéias inglesas e completamente ignorante sobre a
história Pre-Muçulmana do seu próprio país irá adicionar uma outra
explicação dizendo que o Bhagavat é um livro formado pela história da
vida de Krishna, que era um homem ambicioso e imoral! Isto é tudo que
ele pôde absorver da sua avó nos tempos em que ainda não ia á escola!
Assim, o grandioso Bhagavat sempre permanece desconhecido dos
estrangeiros assim como o elefante cego de seis que agarra várias partes do
corpo de um outro animal. Porém a Verdade é eterna e nunca é manchada, a não ser
por enquanto, pela ignorância.
Bhavisya Purana- Some parts added by sectarians
This article have the intention to present the popular edition of the Bhavisya Purana wich contain prophecies. But, here we will see how some parts were added by some Christians or Hindus on this known edition by giving some evidences related to the topics. Below the edition-translation of the Bhaviasya Purana as we know nowadays and in the end 2 comentaries about the parts that were added.
The Bhavishya Purana is an ancient text authored by Sri Vyasa Muni, the compiler of the Vedic texts. It is listed among the eighteen major Puranas. Bhavishya means "future" and Purana means "history", so the text's name would translate literally as "The History of the Future". Though the text was written many thousands of years before the recorded events took place, by the power of his mystic vision, Sri Vyasa was able to accurately predict the happenings of the modern times. One of the text's poetic styles is to present the events as though they have already happened. This is a common practice in Sanskrit poetry, and does not indicate that the book was written in modern times. |

Then, on the second day after my arrival here [in India], my Gurudeva told me: “The first thing you have to do is to collect all what you learned, read, excerpted, felt, know. Put it in a big bag and throw it into the sea where the sea is deepest and start anew.”
Once when I felt sad, because I hadn’t been raised as a Hindu in India and didn’t have the inner associations that every Hindu has together with the concepts deva, devi, avatara, bhakti etc., he was even angry and said: “You missed nothing. It is a blessing that you did not imbibe all these associated ideas. You would have learned only wrong things. There is nothing to be learned from people, poets etc. You have to learn from God directly – i.e. what God teaches in His Own words.”
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati to Svami Sadananda Dasa:
I myself [Svami] would never have been where I am today, if not already
as a youth I doubted what people, poets, scholars said and prepared
myself to learn the most strange languages, just to be able to read a
text that dealt with God and the meaning of life in the original text
itself and free myself from what others read into it from their mind and
heart.Then, on the second day after my arrival here [in India], my Gurudeva told me: “The first thing you have to do is to collect all what you learned, read, excerpted, felt, know. Put it in a big bag and throw it into the sea where the sea is deepest and start anew.”
