Destructive influence of Buddhism

Subj: Destructive influence of Buddhism
1. Namaste Surinder atri Ji,
It was very refreshing to read your mail. I personally have held this view from the very beginning, that buddhist approach is a very escapist & passive approach. Historically if you see, the disintegration of India began only after Asoka moved away from his Kshatriya Dharm of protecting & defending his land & his people by converting to Buddhism & preaching "total non violence" to the point of self destructive behavior. Any religion that is a hinderance in us discharging our duties can never be something that will in any way lead to any kind of progress. The decision to resort to violence or not is the ethical dilemma that only Hindu scriptures deal with at length providing us with the appropriate ways to reach that decision. That is what Bhagwadgita summarizes so beautifully. In no way does it condone violence, but it recognizes the need for the use of force in desperate situations. It also provides a sort of a detailed checklist that can be used to decide the path of action.
I will not go into why I don't consider Buddha to be a good, or even an average role model for any one at any time.
Thanks once again.
Namaste.
Poonam

COMMENT: Very much so, Poonam Jee. Buddhism is up to no good. Its morbid fear of violence ( Ahimsa-Parmo-Dharma ), is very destructive to society. It is a convenient excuse for young men of our society to dodge draft & avoid military service. I would kick the preachers of this non-sense, down a flight of stairs ( the way they do in Bollywood movies ).

COMMENT: Emperor Ashoka was a traitor to his Kashatriya-Dharam. We don't need need guys like Ashoka, in Defense Services, whose job is to defend societies. They ruin the morale of Defense forces. and lead the country to destruction. They ought to be screened out through psychological testing.

4. Quote: The decision to resort to violence or not is the ethical dilemma
COMMENT: Not at all. In fact, we prefer to settle our disputes through negotiation ( peaceful means ). We do our damn best to avoid use of lethal force. But situations can arise where, war becomes inevitable. Could black hearted Duryodan be talked out of his evil ways, through negotiation ?. Not a chance !

5. Quote: Hindu scriptures deal with at length providing us with the appropriate ways to reach that decision.
COMMENT: Hindu scriptures do their damn best to avoid use of force, but do not hesitate to serve notice on the aggressor, that his evil shall be resisted. Nonsense of Ahimsa-Parmo-Dharma,turns the aggressor into a tester, to determine how far he can push his innocent-victims.Buddhism multiplies violence in the world, Hindu Dharma reduces it, which is what our objective ought to be.

6. Quote: That is what Bhagwadgita summarizes so beautifully. In no way does it condone violence, but it recognizes the need for the use of force in desperate situations
COMMENT: Always armed with Bow & Arrow, Lord Ram, is an eternal symbol of Kashatriya-Duty. Lord Ram is Kashatriy-Dharma ( Vedic Dharma ) at its best. His eternal-message of Kashatriya-Duty, is repeated by Lord Krishna, at the event of Mahabharta, by telling Prince-Arjuna that:

" In the fight against evil, no body is your Father, nobody is your Mother, no body is your Brother, and no body is your Sister. "
