Dear Sriman Sudarshan, If you don't mind the Bible calling you a heathen, eternally condemned to hell if you don't accept Jesus and only Jesus as the truth and the way, fine. I certainly mind, that is my call; just as your call to ignore that! Just ask the authentic followers of the Bible (not Gandhi or RK mission or confused desis) they will tell you the great truth it teaches you (You don't need the first two lines or the fourth line, upadexanti te gnAnam!). I certainly have nothing to do with a Book which tells me that my ancestors including Nathamuni, Yamunamuni- all before them and after them (such as Ramanujacharya, Swami Deshikar et al., who did not convert) are eternally in hell. >>I believe there are plenty indeed to be found in all the great religious scriptures of the world.... including the Bible. << Certainly there are. I have read every word of the Bible and the Koran (the two staring to steer us!). So why believe? I know you can read; so it can be a matter of fact for you that they have good things in them. That is not the point. Do you believe that you may find something great in them which you have not found in your own? Do you know that they are (lot more) serious about their religion. You take it all or leave it all. I will not mix them in the religious context (I am not a Gandhian or running for office in India or anywhere, or waiting to be called what a good guy I am- atta boy!). Remember, when you look at scriptures which people swear by, you watch out more so for what is bad in them. After all we will not be hurt by what is good in them! If you still want to hold on to your conviction, who am I to say it is incorrect. But the good news for you is that majority of Hindus (Indians) are with you- that is also the sad part! dAsan K.S. tAtAchAr -----Original Message----- From: sudarshan madabushi <mksudarshan2002@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: tatachar@xxxxxxx; tiruvenkatam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; srirangasri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, 18 Feb 2006 07:39:21 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] Re: [t'venkatam] Re: [ramanuja] sandhyaa vandhanam - Bhishma's Answer Dear member, Thank you for revealing the "ultra-platinum truth". I have no desire for 'platinum' coating. Simple, unadulterated truths will do just fine. I believe there are plenty indeed to be found in all the great religious scriptures of the world.... including the Bible. If you don't mind, I shall stand by what I wrote.
