Father and son, went to a temple, suddenly son shouted after seeing the pillars of Lions at the entrance of the temple "Run Dad, or those Lions will eat us " Dad consoled him saying "they are just statues and wont harm us" Son replied " if those lion statues wont harm us then how could statues of God give us blessings" The father wrote in his diary... "I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?
If I am not wrong, some vedic scholrs say, mullers writing is half baked .
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't arrive on such a conclusion before reading what he had to say. I am reading this now, have you read it before? What is your opinion?
ReplyDeleteMAX MULLAR WAS A GREATSCHOLER ON INDIAN MATTERS. I DO NOT KNOW SUCH A CONCLUSION IS ARRIVED AT AND BY WHOM. TODAY IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TEST THE AUTHENTHICITY OF HIS WRITINGS. MOST OF THE BOOKS REFFERED BY MULLAR ARE NOT AVAILABLE
ReplyDeleteI like one fact which Max Muller discusses in this book. That is most of the west first discriminated against Vedas sighting the reason that it was transmitted through one caste, Brahmins. But Max Muller states that not everyone in a community writes/preserves for the future. Even in our modern times, only some small percentage does this and they are called authors. Others might be simply busy in their day-to-day activities. So do not discriminate, and try to learn what the Vedas has to say first.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Max Muller continuously repeats is the word Aryan. Is there any non-indians who did not believe in Aryan-theory?
