1. On post 134 - this is what I suspected (but had no proof for):

One of the comments - look how my mouth is closed and yet there are these words (so it's not me speaking!):
Finally. A Hindu in these modern times who says what all Dharmics - all Natural Traditionalists of the world - ought to be saying. (To be fair, the Hellenes have been saying it all along. And continue to say it at ysee.gr)
2. Post 135:
Aditya is a sacred name to Hindus (who aren't extinct yet). It obviously isn't to these flighty seculars who choose it either because it's pretty, exotic or has associative sentimental value (wife: "I'm Indonesian, my ancestors were - presumably - Hindu. Darling, let's give it a Hindu name, so I and the baby can feel/claim we still have something to do with my 'cultural' history, even though Hindu Dharma never was important to me before and even now it is obviously but an afterthought. And look, the baby even has some Indonesian features left! Praise Ceres! Indonesian/Indian/... features are a sure sign of... of..."
Of what? Adherence to Hindu religion?? No.)
We're supposed to cheer some Indonesian-western couple trivialising Hindu Gods in this way? The circumstance has truly reduced it to nothing more than a 'mere' name that survives of Hindu Dharma (a bit like the mockery that today's "Olympic Games" are, which keep the sacred name with none of its Hellenistic import): Other people running off with what still holds deep and full meaning to the living Hindus - like the name Aditya - is akin to being treated as if Hindus are already dead and others feel they can do what they please with what's ours.
(And the combination "Axel Aditya" is a meaningless name if ever there was one.)
Have Hindus been defeated already that we have to hold on to such cases of meaningless nothings that only further underscore how much and how many are lost to Hindu Dharma?
Well then, here's more like instances to feel sentimental about:
- Some years ago, one of my classmates was Balinese. His family was in recent times converted to christianism. In order to bring up some aspect we had "in common", he told me one of his grandparents was still Hindu (whom they tried to convert, but failed). Moving, nah?
- And I have another Indonesian classmate whose surname is part Samskritam. Her whole family is christian. She likes "Indian culture". Such a compliment.
- Look, a Catholic Goan and his islamic-turned-catholic Goan wife named their catholic daughter Ileana (who is some Indian actress). Ileana: named after Helen (of Troy)! Isn't it sweet. Proof of Hellenismos! Oh *wait*. It's not. Instead, they're part of the religion that destroyed Hellenismos, even though their *ancestors* were Hindus.
- And some Kerala christists named their daughter Diana (another actress), which is the very own name of Goddess Artemis (Roman variant). So touching. Hellenists? Again: no. Their religion - christianism - exterminated the Hellenes in concentration camps and destroyed Diana's temples. And now they have the gall to name their daughter after Diana. Hopefully she'll revert.

Quote:(Indonesia) Discovery of ancient Hindu temple that was demolished, built over by mosque and Islamic University
mar 3rd, 2010
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Ravi
[color="#0000FF"]NY Times tries to put a Dhimmi spin on this recent Indonesian archaelogical discovery in Yogyakarta, while trying to whitewash the fact that:
1) This was indeed an ancient Hindu temple that was hastily demolished by Muslims and built over by a mosque, that was eventually "expanded" into an Islamic University over time.
2) This NYT line is misleading ("Early mosques faced not in Mecca's direction, but west or east in the manner of Hindu temples") because these "mosques" were actually Hindu temples that were "commandeered" and turned into mosques quickly and conveniently by defacing the artistic carvings and throwing out any images and icons.
3) Another untruthful line by NYT: "Three major religions intermixed in Yogyakarta and Java" should actually read more like "Islam wiped out Hinduism and Buddhism in Yogyakarta and Java".[/color]

Quote:Incognito said...Exactly, I agree.
[color="#0000FF"]Just as disease in any part of the body affects the whole person, cancers like islam, christianity, capitalism and communism in any part of Earth affects the whole Earth and all living beings in it.
This is the lesson of the past.
These adharmic elements must be removed entirely for Earth and humanity to return to health.[/color]
