Pravin Togadia as PM?

Tell me, Mr. Pratik Pandey, [a NDTV blogger to whose blog this comment is, but this was not published ] without the Hindus would there be the Vedic teachings of everyone being the manifestation of God etc? Therefore is it not our sacred duty to awaken and unite the Hindus to protect the Hindu culture so that the light of such liberal religious thought is not extinguished from the world? This is just what Sangha Parivar is doing. They are only putting things in proper perspective in criticising Islam and Church activists for holding a vision which is detrimental to a liberal world – the vision of “My religion the only true religion”.

I think Pravin Togadia, a courageous man who could have, being a cancer-surgeon, migrated to USA and made a pile of money, but stayed to lead the Hindutva forces to call the bluff of the Semitic mindsets, should be the Prime Minister of India rather than Manmohan Singh, who went to Afghanistan, with Rahul Gandhi in tow, and visited the mausoleum of Baber to honour Congress vision of pseudo-secularism.

Cutting new pathways to God

What do Christians mean by "there is only one true living God?" Has anyone claimed that there are dead Gods? Has anyone claimed that there are many Gods? And has anyone associated untruth with Gods? If a Hindu says there are many Gods, he would only be meaning many are the manifestations of God. By Christians saying there is only one God they are actually meaning that others ideas of God are wrong and only the Christian idea of God is correct. (Ditto Muslims.)

Conversions are pernicious because they are carried on under the conviction that your religion is the only true religion and others' religions are false. Conversions are based on ignorance and they would bring no light but only darkness.

Let us rejoice at the many paths to God and honour as heroes those who cut new pathways to God.
