Farhan : I have studied many books about Hindu religion . I could find many contradictions inthem . I think these books are made by vested interests to exploit ignorant people .
Krishna : The Vedas are divine . It’s logic is beyond ordinary human logic . Only a qualified VedicScholar could interpret the Vedic scriptures correctly . Mere bookish knowledge will confuse the reader ,especially if he is a “Mlecha” ( Impure person unfit to receive Vedic knowledge ) .
Farhan : There is only one God ( Allah) . But, Hindus are worshipping numerous people as“Human Gods” . This is totally incorrect .
Krishna : God is infinite . Bhagavad Gita ( essence of the Vedas) states that God is both Formless andwith Form . Both types of worship is correct provided there is faith and devotion . Islam calls theformless God as *Allah* . Christians calls it *Father* . Impersonalist Hindus (Advaitis ) ,callis it*Brahman* . It is extremely difficult and troublesome for an embodied Man to meditate a “Formless”entity. Devatas are manifestations of God and they are not human . Since God is Omnipotent, Omniscientand Omnipresent , He can easily appear in human like Forms to enable, easy and focused meditation.Who are we humans to impose restrictions on God ?.
Farhan : Hindu books are creations of selfish Brahmins . They have written those books to exploitnon-Brahmin low caste Hindus . They are treating other Hindus as slaves .
Krishna : Learning the Vedas , teaching it and practicing it’s complex rituals need total commitment ,discipline , sacrifice , purity and skills from a Priest’s birth to death . A dedicated class of Hindus isrequired to fulfill this tough requirement . Traditionally , Brahmins are entrusted with this duty. They areordered to eat very lean food merely for survival , undertake regular fasting for self-purification , performlong hours of rituals and survive entirely on the alms given by the Devotees . It is extremely tough life .In certain temples , the Brahmin priest is on daily ritualistic duty in the heat of oil lamps 3AM-12PMduring which he is not permitted to drink a glass of water. Mixing with the pleasurable life-styles of others could corrupt them . That is why the Brahmins lead an isolated life.However, that does mean that the Brahmins are superior to others or they have any right to exploit . Allthe four categories namely *Brahmins* ( priests) , *Ksatriyas* ( Administrators/Warriors) , *Vysyas*( Businessmen) and *Sudras* ( Servants) do specific duties in the society as a service to God. A devoutHindu beholds God in every living being and he never exploits another person for his / her selfish gains.
Farhan : Hindus are worshipping so many lifeless statues ( Idols) in their temples. It is funny thatthey don’t allow Non-Hindus to enter the temples . Isn’t it ridiculous ? .
Krishna : In the Temples , God is worshipped in a particular image-form as specified by the concernedSage ( Rishi) . Unique Vedic rules exist for each Temple . It requires the highest Spiritual Power ,discipline and purity to maintain the divinity of the Deity . Any violation of the Vedic rules , isdangerous. In majority of the Temples, only Hindus having complete faith in Deity-worship andassociated Vedic-vows are allowed to enter . Non-Hindus are denied entry only because they have notadhered to the related vows about which they are ignorant. There is no point in forcing these vows onthem since it might be contradictory to their own religious dogmas .However, there are certain Temples , where non-Hindus are allowed entry . This is due to that Deity’s personal will .A consecrate Deity is not a mere “Idol” . The Deity is the replica of God that breaths life . Muslims andChristian too worship their own brand of consecrated symbols like Kabba stone , Holy cross, Jesus,Mother Mary , etc .
Farhan : Hindus are using items like Cow-dung and Cow’s urine to purify their temples ?. Isn’t itreally funny ? .
Krishna : There are specific purification rituals in Hinduism . Cow is a sacred animal and it’s productslike milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow-dung ,urine etc are used in vedic rituals . Even Medical science recognizeits medicinal value and use extensively . A temple is not washed with cow’s urine alone . In reality, first
