Namaskar.
We are ignoring the true taboo marriages which the Bombay film industry is promoting with the express intent of attacing the Sanatana Dharma. It is the same as depicting Sufism as "all-good" and Sanatana Dharma as inherently evil and deserving to be battled and to be eliminated by all moral souls. Strangely, the Dwarkadheesha Shankaracharya is more enamored of his follies, projects, prestige and financial ins and outs to restrain such notable shishyas as Digvijaya Singh whose function in political life is to bait, humiliate and otherwise weaken the Sanatana Dharma as a flunkey of a group that is crusading against the said Dharma.
Now coming back to the Mumbai group: marriage between Sanatana women and another prominent faith which demands conversion as the primary condition for the marriage. Sharmila Thakur was the first willing goat. Her children, Saif Ali Khan, continues the vampire mode in several different ways: Kareena Kapoor. Soha Ali Khan acts in films created by the neo-buddhist, expressly anti-Hindu Nandita Das, such as the FIRAAQ, whose entire agenda is to malign the Sanatana Dharma. Rahul Bose and Mahesh Bhatt, hiding under a Brahman name but an open muslim and virulent anti-Hindu, are other example. My question is, if you change your religion, why not change your name as well?
The problem is not with Tamil girls marrying Hindu boys. From what I have seen of this world, if Cricket Srinivasan can claim to be a brahman, then a pig and other satanic elements are to be honored as Mahabrahmanas. People are operating liquor factories, selling liquor, running restaurant chains profiting from Chinese food, selling pork, beef and so on [Mainland China], and still want to be called brahmanas? Cannot be! The Lord is clearly saying, GUNA & KARMA determine. AGAIN, in the YAKSHAPRASHNA, the Dharmaraja, unequivocally demands from Yudhishthira, what defines a brahmana. Manumaharaja clearly explains the boundaries and limits of a brahmanas needs and the circumstances of his life, the SIX endeavors to which he is limited. Stock markets, politics, and a whole host of activities do NOT fall into these categories. So either we are 100% observant, or we cherry-pick according to our convenience, and claim that the Sanatana Dharma is to be modified with respect to the Adyatana Dharma, and like homeopathic formulations, when diluted beyond nothingness, gains more strength thereby!!!!
The threat is 2-fold and more. In our households there is no valid religious training, nothing that offers children the solid SPIRITUAL basis that gives them the wherewithal for their questions and real problems about sex, about issues of right, wrong, good, bad, about mental problems, about marital discord. We are afraid to confront that our shastras have profundity and also lack a lot about human experience such as mental disease and many other issues. In short, they are unable to traverse the entire range of human condition. They are profound where their core competence lies. AND many shastras specialize in many different parts of the spectrum. We forget this truth and think that only our sectarian leaders, Ramanuja, or Madhva, or whoever, had the whole 9 yards down pat. WRONG! These saints are like slices of a pie, perfect from the edge of the crust right to the center, but THEY ARE NOT the whole pie. Not Sarvabhauma.
No one is, not Jesus, NOT the many branches of Buddhism, not anyone, and no one will ever be. That is something our hyper-religious pietism ignores, and this is why we have our children becoming dissatisfied and breaking away, feeling secretly that their parents are ill-informed, blind, obtuse, stupid, ignorant, hypocritical, or unable to see deeply enough, lacking antardrishti, prajnanam, let alone samjnanam. That is why they find solace in each other, charismatic devils like the ones springing up in India, or in songs, or in each other. Muslims are rigid and that too is a safe harbor. ONLY Hindus run around trying to say, Oh, everyone is wonderful and equally good. NO! That is not true. Some faiths are false, are condemnable and are to be wiped out from the face of the Universe.
Hindus are so poorly informed that they do not know that the Kalachakra Tantra has been generated with the express need to remove from Reality a particular faith. We have shut ourselves off from the needs and pain of so many that we are rendering ourselves clownish, puerile and helpless against our own sworn enemies, the worst of which arise from our own loins. When we are unable to frame the argument in coherent terms the war is lost, and not just the battle. Today I see brahmanas as clever children but fit only to be servants, not masters, incapable of unity, incapable of understanding the broad issues, and incapable of synthesizing knowledge and information on a vast scale and subjecting these to profound analysis. The capacity for being sArvabhauma, that should arise with being a true brahmana, has become almost extinct. We have become idiotic clerks, karanikas, slaves to degraded superiors, self-satisfied fools irrelevant beasts, and deserve an ignominious end.
Mahaswamigal remarked on a muslim fakir who mischievously and gratuitously cast magical spells on the great peetham at Sri anchipuram. Not a single mantra pushta brahmana was available there to counter this vile alien. A search had to be made until the great Thanjavur Sundaresha Swamigal was found. How have brahmanas fallen, when they can talk endlessly but the vilest of others are destroying their dharma and they are unable to do anything. They decorate temples with absurd fairy lights but cannot provide facilities for pilgrims, or any thought for the disposition of temple revenue. The list goes on. What a crisis we are facing against the onslaught of certain ideologies and there is no sense of coming together and preparing for a dharmayuddha.
Namaskar.
