Dr. Nikhil asked: The questions below (except the first) are related to the philosophies of Shri Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Shri. Rajiv Malhotra. The questions are posed on behalf of the followers of the above.
Swami gave the following answers after reading the explanation of each question as given by Dr Nikhil.
1) What is the difference between a ray-incarnation and partial incarnation?
[Isn't a ‘ray of God's power’ not the same as ‘part of God’s power’? Kalā refers to 1/16 th part of a whole; such as in the case of the phases of the moon. So in that case, can it be said that a Kalā Avatara is an incarnation manifesting only one part (1/16th) of God’s power, whereas an Amsha Avatara means that the incarnation might be manifesting more than one part of God’s power (e.g. 2/16, 3/16, 4/16,...but less than 12/16). An incarnation manifesting 12/16th part of the power, is called a Purna Avatara and the one manifesting God’s entire power (16/16) is called as a Paripurna Avatara.]
Answer:- Both possess the same quality and quantity of unimaginable power since same unimaginable God exists in both. In the case of the ray-incarnation, the requirement of program of the incarnation is the expression of a ray of power only. In the latter, a part of the power (more than a ray) is required for expression. It is like a PG professor teaching LKG class and degree class. A ray of his knowledge is expressed in LKG class and a part of his knowledge is expressed in degree class. Possessor and possessed power are one and the same. The difference is only in the expressed quantities of power. Your explanation of the question is perfectly correct. Ray means 1/16 whereas part means any quantum greater than 1/16 and lesser than 12/16. Rama is called as complete (Purna) incarnation.
2) What are the Āgamās?
[Are the Agamas classified as Shruti or smriti? Are they codified into intonations (svaras) and preserved by recitation or were they preserved in the form of written manuscripts? Are some of the Agamas part of the Vedic Samhita? Do the Agamas describe the practical application of theoretical spiritual principles in the form of ritual worship.]
Answer:- Aagamaa means the Veda, which is not a specific book only. It means the knowledge spoken by God. The root verb of this word indicates walking towards God. Verbs expressing movement mean knowledge (Gatyarthaanaam dhaatuunaam Jnanaarthakatvaat). God can speak through any human being, He likes. Recognition of His knowledge can be done by very sharp analysis proving the absence of any defect and indicating the ultimate truth only. The intonations are only related to pleasant utterance in a musical way. The music also has seven intonations. The intonation has nothing to do with the knowledge. Even a statement spoken by a devotee without any intonation can be called as the Veda or the Aagama, which is a mixture of ‘Aanj’ (complete) and ‘gam’ (knowledge). The sharp analysis decides whether some statement is the Veda or the Aagama or not. Meaning for intonation is very very rare as you see in stressing the first word Indra, the enemy as per Tatpurusha samaasa or the latter word, the enemy of Indra as per Bahuvreehi samaasa in the Vedic hymn “Indrashatro vardhasva”. Here also, the meaning of the words taken played the main role. Since the interpretation resulted as per the stress of the first word uttered by sages, Indra could kill the demon Vrutra and not the reverse happened.
3) Is Hindu culture influenced more by the Vedic tradition or the Āgamic tradition?
[Is there any significant difference between the two traditions? Is one of them superior to the other? Is any of them being neglected more than the other by contemporary Hindu tradition or is there an urgent need for the revival of any of the two traditions in present times?]
Answer:- The word 'Aagama' is confined to a specific tradition by certain scholars like Vaishnavaagama, Shaivaagama, Shakteyaagama etc. Aagamaa is an alternative word for the Veda in the sense of above explanation, which is based on the prefix (aanj) and the root verb (gam) and this alone is the final truth. Similarly, the word ‘nigama’ also means the Veda based on the prefix (ni) and root verb (gam), which means knowledge. The Veda also means knowledge based on its root verb (vidul). Aagama is used as alternative word for the Veda as is seen in several references. Scholars have used this word for their secondary scriptures written explaining their specific traditions. Neither intonations nor calling some rituals under the name Aagama can bring any authority. Only sharp analysis of the meaning of a statement uttered in the Veda or the Aagama can reveal authority. Authority comes only by meaning or knowledge and not mere word or sound of word. The influence of sound of the word or intonation was again propagated by the priests only, who recite the Veda in blind way. These blind tape recorders have covered their defect of lack of knowledge by the intonation saying that mere intonation has lot of power. The intonation has no power except the knowledge that makes a soul to develop devotion to God, which is real power. Intonation is only the style of sound, which is related to musical path and does not show any supernatural power to be proved scientifically. The supernatural power or miracle is confined to God only. Thid false theory that intonation has supernatural power- is developed by the blind reciters of Veda (priests) in order to cover their defect of not knowing the meaning and in order to earn through this false theory.
4) If diseases and suffering are the punishment of sins, how can certain scriptures describe means to escape from them without reformation?
[Several scriptures describe, expiations (parihara) of sins through breathing exercises (pranayama), and yogic āsanas, mudrās and kriyās. Does this not defeat the purpose of the giving the punishment for the sins in the first place? How can such yogic poses and practices lead to any reformation? Staunch traditionalists claim that exactly following the practices as described in the scriptures, frees one of the claimed ailments. Assuming that their claims are true, it raises an even more important question: How is it justified to cancel the punishment of a sinner without reformation? The scripture was revealed by God. How can the Judge Himself help the convict escape from the jail, without reformation?]
Answer:- The means described bring the soul near to God and reformation is the ultimate truth that is revealed in the final stage. Ultimate stage is revealed at a latter time only. The means initially attract the soul like a chocolate for the child to go to school. Various ways are invented based on the psychology of human being. Your explanation is correct that a sin can’t be cancelled without reformation. If the judge cancels his own judgement, the probable reason is corruption of judge, which can never take place in the case of God.
5) How can You claim that Hindu rituals are models to understand philosophical concepts?
[Hindu traditionalists believe that the Hindu rituals are to be followed literally and in toto. For instance, if the scriptures instruct us to add rice into the sacrificial fire, then that instruction cannot be skipped. The rice cannot also be replaced by corn or wheat. These rituals could be considered to be similar to modern scientific technology. Science is similar philosophy (Vedanta) and technology, which is the application of the science, is like the rituals.
Do we not have to follow instructions strictly in the case of technologies? Can we charge a mobile phone directly with a 220V AC power point? No! The instruction manual clearly says that it requires a DC adapter that converts the 220V AC to say 9V DC. Can we treat that the instruction regarding using the proper adapter as optional and just skip it? Or can we treat it as an arthavada and take it lightly? Obviously not! We must follow the instruction manual of the mobile phone literally without exception.
The same is true about Hindu rituals. They are based on several subtle sciences that are not known to the modern scientist. They include mandalas, yantras, and mantras that are charged with different invisible subtle energies. These subtle energies even though invisible have very significant effects on us. The claimed fruits are not arthavādas. If we follow the procedures given in the scriptures literally and in toto, the claimed fruits are also literally obtained.]
Answer:- Rituals are not directly the models of philosophical concepts. The philosophical concepts are preached during the time of performing a ritual. Ritual is only a practical arrangement of seminar on the spiritual knowledge. It also involves the development of devotion to God by singing the prayers. The soul is reformed by knowledge and devotion in the ritual called as Samskaaraa, which (samskaara) means that the soul is reformed by the ritual (Samskriyate aatmaa anena iti). You can’t equate such gossips of false theories with the exact miraculous powers of God, which are directly seen with our eyes. These miracles shall not be extended to the mechanism of a ritual in giving results because these miracles are directly linked to the unimaginable God. Unimaginable God alone performs the unimaginable miracles and alternative source like a ritual can’t be imposed here. God does not need the mechanism of a ritual to perform a miracle. Miracle is performed by God due to selfless practical devotion to God.
6) Why is it claimed that miraculous powers have to be granted by some deity or angel?
[Followers of the Advaitic Veda-Agamic tradition of Shri Nithyananda Paramahamsa (Maha Mandaleshwar of Mahanirvani Akhada) claim that manifesting miraculous powers are natural outcomes of the realization of Sadashivatva. According to them, each person is already Sadashiva. Through this state of realization, the miraculous powers are everyone's birthright. No one needs to grant you these powers. By following the shastra pramana (Vedas and Agamas) and aapta pramana (realized Masters) meticulously under the guidance of a living Master, one can learn to manifest them oneself. Numerous people including small children are practicing them and demonstrating them in public. Some of miraculous powers publicly demonstrated in this manner are reading with closed eyes, seeing objects located in a different city or country, seeing ailments in a person without any instruments (body-scanning), materialization of objects, healing and levitation. The internet is full of such genuine videos of not just Shri Nithyananda but also several disciples including children. These disciples did not do any tapas for hundreds of years. No deity appeared to them and granted them these boons. They simply followed the scriptural injunctions under the guidance of a Master and their own nature (Sadashivatva) was revealed to them and the miraculous powers are simply the shaktis that are invariably associated with Sadashiva.]
Answer:- A deity or an angel is the medium to worship unimaginable God, who alone grants the miraculous powers, which are unimaginable events. Nobody can directly worship the unimaginable God, who is beyond even imagination. Sadashiva means Ishwara or Datta. The miraculous powers are granted by Ishwara through such rituals, which are the channels of developing devotion to God. If you perform a ritual and say that you have derived miraculous powers, it is not correct. In this path, there is no necessity of devotion. The ritual becomes the master and Sadashiva is only a puppet in the hands of rituals. God’s will and grace are the root causes for the performance of any miracle. A miracle is not the result of a mechanical ritual or the mechanism of sound of intonation like a set of experiments. This should not result in diversion from God to mechanical process. Only Purvamimaamsakas, who are atheists, think like this. In this concept, pleasing God and grace of God have no place. The actual mechanism of ritual is getting reformation by knowledge and pleasing God by devotion to get His grace. The hidden actual factor is neglected and the externally appearing ritual is projected. The externally visible wire (ritual) is not rotating the fan and not litting the electrical bulb, but, it is electricity in it (God’s grace) doing these miracles. The internal hidden current is doing all these things. If every soul is Sadashiva, every soul shall exhibit its inherent powers or miracles without the help of the rituals or the master guiding the rituals. If the soul is exhibiting miracles only through rituals conducted under the guidance of a master, the soul is not inherently Sadashiva. The master and rituals have led the soul to attain the grace of Sadashiva by whom the soul is performing the miracles in which case the soul is not inherently Sadashiva. If the soul is already Sadashiva, there is no need of master and the ritual.
7) Do miracles prove that God is unimaginable to the soul, or that each soul is already God?
[You claim that miracles prove the existence of God, who is completely unimaginable to a human being and that an ordinary soul is eternally separate from God. You also claim that miracles help us differentiate between a scholar and an incarnation. Contrary to this, the followers of Shri Nithyananda claim that miracles actually prove that each person is already Sadashiva. They take the Advaita stand that each person can perform miracles since he is already Sadaashiva. They also say that their claim is not hollow and that they have innumerable proofs.
Manifesting miracles is a scientific process that can be done by anyone. The manifesting of miracles is repeatable and scientifically testable e.g. seeing faraway objects, body-scanning, healing, reading with eyes closed and manifesting objects and levitating. They are proof of the Sadashivatva of each soul.]
Answer:- If each soul is God, each soul shall perform the miracles. You shall not say that God forgot Himself due to ignorance. If God is covered by ignorance and losses the basic knowledge about Himself like a mad man, nobody dares to call such God as God. The unimaginable nature of the miracle performed by human incarnation proves that the God present in It is unimaginable and is doing the miracle. If every soul is Sadashiva, the soul shall perform the miracles by itself and there is no need of rituals. Your concept means that Sadashiva is unable to do the miracles without the help of rituals. If rituals are the masters of miracles, there is no need of Sadashiva. If Sadashiva performs the miracles, then, there is no need of rituals. By taking both, your confidence on either Sadashiva or rituals is damaged. The mixed concept of Sadashiva and rituals shows that Sadashiva is taken to avoid the risk and rituals are taken to express ego. The range of miracles mentioned by you is also not very high that is suitable to God Sadashiva. If the rituals are the ultimate steps, which are certain mechanical scientific procedures only, let them be published so that every soul can have the benefit of doing miracles. The strict following of the procedure is given importance than the grace of God Sadashiva. For a scientific procedure, there is no need of the grace of God. All these rituals are various experiments performed by strict procedures of a laboratory manual. The guiding master also need not show any grace like a lab technician! If the ritual with correct instructions is published, anybody trained to give guidance can become the master like anybody studying the scientific procedure can become lab instructor for future generations. Like this, neither Sadashiva, nor the master has any importance except the strict procedure of the ritual. Grace of Sadashiva is also not needed because the soul expected to do the rituals himself is Sadashiva. The only thing to be done is publishing the manual of the ritual with clear instructions throughout.
8) Why are miraculous powers downplayed and rarely shared by Gurus with their disciples?
[Miraculous powers are natural outcomes of the realization of Sadashivatva (Shivo’ham). There is no need to deny, downplay or avoid them. If the fear of misuse of the powers is the concern, it should be noted that when one is in the state of Sadashivatva, the powers cannot be misused, since Sadashiva never does anything wrong. If an individual is doing wrong, he has deviated from his state of Sadashivatva and the miraculous powers will be lost soon due to his deviation towards ignorance. Thus, the damage due to the misuse of miracles automatically gets corrected in a short while.]
Answer:- God performs the miracles and not the human being component. The omniscient God knows which is proper and which is not proper. Miracles are expressed by God only in the real required contexts as per program of God. Monism with God Sadashiva and monism with Brahman are not different. Demons misuse miraculous powers. Demon is also God Sadashiva. If the demon misused the powers, it is only God Sadashiva misused the powers. Will Sadashiva misuse powers? If you say that Sadashiva misused due to ignorance, will Sadashiva get ignorance? A good devotee is not misusing the power in one place. In another place, a demon is misusing the power. Does this mean that the same Sadashiva is fully aware in one place and fully ignorant in another place? This is self-contradicting concept. To avoid this, you have to say that there are several Sadashivas! In our concept, We say that every soul is not God. Only one soul is treated as God and here also the omnipotent God becomes that soul (avatara or descended God) and not vice-versa. Hence, neither any soul is God nor any soul becomes God. Only the omnipotent God becomes a soul due to His unimaginable power. Any miracle expressed by such human incarnation is only done by the unimaginable God through the soul. All the objections raised against monism in My spiritual knowledge apply here.
9) What is the difference between siddhis and shaktis?
[Shri Nithyananda claims that what he is helping his disciples manifest is shaktis; not siddhis. Siddhi means attainment. It means the attainment of something that you did not possess earlier. The person who is ignorant thinks that he is a soul. He feels that he has to attain the state of Sadashivatva. On this path he also attains the siddhis. This is the ignorant path from bottom to the top.
Shri Nithyananda claims that his path is the opposite. He begins by making his disciples realize their true nature as Sadashiva. When they realize their own Sadashivatva, the shaktis (miraculous powers) are already under their control since the shaktis are always under the control of Shiva.]
Answer:- Siddhi and Shakti mean miraculous power and power in general respectively. Siddhi is the miraculous power attained by the soul from God. Such powers have certain limitations so that the soul exhibiting such powers will not develop ego and say that it is God. Shakti means imaginable and unimaginable power of God. Siddhi is also a type of Shakti only. If the soul is Sadashiva, how the omniscient Sadashiva forgot Himself? In the very first step itself, contradiction is attacking. Are you making Sadashiva to get back His original nature? If you are also Sadashiva and if every soul is the same Sadashiva, the knowledge possessed by you shall be possessed by every soul. If you say that the souls are Sadashiva, who forgot themselves, you must have also forgotten yourself since you are also the same Sadashiva! You can sustain your logic only on accepting that there are several Sadashivas. Shankara brought this monism in the atmosphere of atheists. It was inevitable step for Him to covert an atheist into theist, at least accepting the existence of God through a trick i.e, you exist. You are God. Hence, God exists. Except this one path, there is no alternative path to make the strong atheist to accept the existence of unimaginable God. Today, such atmosphere is not present and hence, now there is no need of this trick especially when the atheists are in absolute minority. In the time of Shankara, absolute majority of atheists (Purvamimaamsakas and Buddhists) existed. When the disciples of Shankara failed to swallow the molten lead, Shankara did not say to His disciples that they should remember strongly that they are God and then swallow the molten lead. He told that He alone is Shiva (Shivah kevaloham). Those disciples, who failed to swallow the molten lead, were very close to Shankara and thought continuously that they are God from very long time. On failing to swallow the molten lead, Shankara did not advise them to think for some more time that they are God. Here, even in the case of Shankara, Shankara did not become God so that everybody has the chance to become God. God became Shankara. It is the will of God to become a soul and not the will of Shankara or soul to become God. Unimaginable God has the unimaginable power to become imaginable soul. Imaginable soul with imaginable power can’t become unimaginable God. The imaginable soul can’t even become another imaginable soul and not to speak of becoming unimaginable God!
10) What is Your response to the silent war against Hinduism?
[Shri. Rajiv Malhotra is a businessman-turned-Hindu activist, who has spent most of his time in the US. Over the past two decades he has become a bestselling author of books on Hinduism. He has raised his voice about a huge threat to Hinduism. In his opinion, powerful vested interests from Western religions (esp. Christianity and Islam) are conspiring to paint Hinduism as a dark, backward and demonic religion. Unfortunately, these forces are very powerful and effective. Their approach is sophisticated. It is not limited to conversions and the old ways of missionaries. They have become very sophisticated now. The Hindu community and even the Hindu religious leaders are totally unaware of this silent war on Hinduism.
Many western scholars have studied Sanskrit, translated all our scriptures and they are interpreting them in a negative light. Sheldon Pollock is one such western indologist. They project Hinduism as a socio-political structure to concentrate power in the hands of the Brahmins and exploit lower castes and women. They directly or indirectly deny any association of divinity or divine revelation with Hinduism. For them the Veda and even the Sanskrit language are a sophisticated tool in the hands of the Brahmins to maintain their social supremacy and exploit the lower sections of society and women. Some western scholars like Wendy Doniger interpret Hindu symbols and rituals from a sexual angle, which is highly offensive to Hindus. Both these scholars are very famous and even the Indian government is mesmerized by them. Sheldon Pollock has even been awarded the Padma Shree by the government! He is in top-level national committees and gets to influence decisions related to research and policy related Hinduism in India.
Western universities (US universities in particular) are starting departments on Hinduism so that they can do this work legitimately. They have funds and they recruit young Indian researchers in the field of Hinduism studies and convert them to their side. Together these western indologists and their followers are spewing poison against Hinduism. They are flooding academic journals with such negative ideas about Hinduism and they are blocking genuine and positive ideas from getting published.
The Indian media, which is controlled by leftists is already anti-Hindu. They are more than happy to become a tool in the hands of these troublemakers. They are spreading the poison among the Indian public. They have convinced the Indian public that everything that is Hindu is bad and dark and exploitative and anything that goes against Hinduism is good. This has led to a new breed of pseudo-liberal young Hindus. They claim to be liberal but they are internally against Hinduism. They say that all religions are good and equal and then they bash Hinduism. They denounce Hindu rituals, symbols, temples traditions, and so on. They attack the core of Hinduism. They appear to be Vedantins, and reduce Hinduism to just hollow theoretical imagination. Without the practical rituals and symbols where is Hinduism? So now, the enemy of Hinduism is not outside but inside in the form of these pseudo liberal Hindus.
Shri Rajiv Malhotra has met many Hindu religious leaders and Gurus regarding this imminent threat to Hinduism. Many have openly stated their support to him. But he is worried that not enough is being done to control this threat. In fact, the public and even the Gurus are not even aware of what is happening.
The unfortunate reality is that our traditional scholars have very poor familiarity with English, western philosophy and the writings of western indologists. So at present it is impossible for them to refute the western indologists. Shri Malhotra is working towards creating a regiment of Hindu scholars, who have genuine shraddha in Hinduism and are well-versed in Sanskrit and the shastras. He is encouraging them to get high familiarity with western philosophy also, read the damaging writings of these western indologists and systematically counter them.
Could You kindly provide Your advice and directions in this matter?]
Answer:- Why shall we bother about any war against any religion as long as we stand in the Universal spirituality. The war against a religion may appear, but no war can appear against universal religion. The only war for universal religion is from atheists, who are perfectly answered. If they are rigid, we can't do anything because even God keeps silent to them. Kabir said that your enemy, who criticizes you, is your best friend, since you will concentrate on rectifying yourself. Let us take all the religions as personified individuals. If Christianity or Islam is scolding Hinduism, Hinduism shall treat both of them as real friends and rectify the faults, if true. If the faults are not true, correct explanations and interpretations shall be given with a friendly heart and not with a rivalry attitude. Let Hinduism also show the defects present in other religions with a view that they should rectify themselves and not with a view to counter in a war. The universal religions expect every religion to correct its defects, which were created by the followers of each religion and not created by the original heads or incarnations of each religion. Unless the concept of universal religion is brought into focus, every religion tries to scold other religions and praise itself. Criticizing others and self-praise – both are sins according to our scriptures. We present the criticism of other religions with a view that they shall rectify themselves and travel in the correct path to attain the grace of God. If we criticize other religions in this angle after projecting the basic concept of universal spirituality of universal religion, such ignorant attempts will vanish by themselves. When others criticize us also, we shall not feel it as bad and try to revolt against them by pointing out their mistakes also just as tit for tat. What is the use of pointing out others’ mistakes, if you are not analyzing your own mistakes? Let us specially invite the criticisms of our religion from other religions also and examine the facts in such criticisms. We must rectify our defects shown by others before we show their defects to them. Showing defects of other religion shall be with a good attitude that presents our love and affection to the people of other religions for their rectification and for their spiritual progress only. The attitude shall not be with enmity to show their defects as tit for tat. In such wrong way, neither we rectify our defects, nor do they rectify their defects. Such war will end in mutual abuse resulting in horrible enmity finally leading to mutual damages only. If anybody criticizes us, we shall thank them and try to analyse those defects and rectify them. If their criticisms are not correct, the true interpretations of our traditions must be given so that the true concepts misunderstood as defects shall become clear to them also. Similarly, we shall point out at their defects also with an appeal that the criticism shall be taken in constructive way, which is the construction of their spiritual progress. For this, a prior atmosphere of love and peace between all the souls of all religions must be established through universal spirituality. The person criticized is always benefitted since, it breaks up a new channel for self-analysis to examine the pointed out defects. If such defects are real, we shall rectify ourselves and thank those critics. On similar grounds, we shall show their defects also with a concern for their spiritual welfare only and not with emotion for counter wars.
11) How can you claim that all religions are true and valid, when they are actually deep and irreconcilable differences?
[Pseudo-liberal Hindus are a big threat to Hinduism today. Many pseudo-liberal Hindus preachers, for the sake of popularity are propagating the false concept that all religions are essentially valid. By doing so they are compromising important Hindu principles and damaging Hinduism. Hinduism is clearly superior to other religions. The concepts of other religions are irreconciliable with Hinduism. There is no need to fit in with the Western ideas and the ideas of Abrahamic religions in the name of secularism. Reconciliation is only possible if they give up their wrong ideas and adopt the right (Hindu) ideas. It is not a matter of democracy that everyone should compromise equally.
Western religions are monotheistic i.e. there is only one God. This is not true. Hinduism is based on the reality that there is only Brahman i.e. the universe and all souls are nothing but Brahman. So everyone and everything is pure, divine and blissful. Western ideas such as original sin, necessity of suffering, God as the Judge and Punisher, the angry God etc. are fundamentally incompatible with Hinduism and no reconciliation is possible. The other religions must simply give up such false ideas.]
Answer:- The differences in the scriptures of different religions are based on the differences between the mentalities of certain sects of devotees in various stages. Each religion stands for a sect of psychologies. Certain religions are multifaceted covering all the sects of mentalities. A one rupee coin is a part of ten rupee note. The structure of a religion depends on the availability of one sect or different sects of mentalities in that religion. The intensive study of a specific religion indicates the nature of the various sects of people living in a specific area. Now, all sects of people are spread to all areas indicating homogenous spreading of heterogeneity! In this context, we can't say that which religion is in which place. Every place contains different religions. There is only one earth having this humanity. Every religion says that its God created the same earth and this same humanity. This means that one God is existing with different names as mentioned by different religions. In such case, how can there be different religions at all in the basic level, if you neglect certain mad fans of each religion? Every human being shall jump out of his well and become a sea frog by uniting all the wells to become the sea.
Your presentation of your Hindu religion itself is in wrong way. If all the souls are Brahman, how can you classify souls as east and west souls? Why there are differences between these souls if all are Brahman? You are saying that you are correct and others are wrong. This should not come from your mouth. It should come from the mouths of others. This very statement will hurt others and provoke them for not a debate but for a war! You don’t know even the basic psychology in presenting even the correct points. Even your own students will rebel against you if you scold them as wrong and ignorant. Preaching spiritual knowledge is not different from teaching a set of students in a class. Study of psychology is included as an important subject in the course of teachers training (All My comments must be applied to the parties, who are represented by Dr. Nikhil. These comments do not apply to him, who is an excellent teacher.). The very basic root is poisonous with ego, self-praise and jealousy to all other religions except Hinduism. God is only one. There are no different Gods like Hindu God, Christian God, Islamic God etc. Such one God will not be pleased by such self-praise and scolding others blindly without showing their proper points. Even if your (your means the party presented by Dr. Nikhil) point is correct and all others are wrong, this is not the way of presentation of the subject without proper psychological expertise. You shall present your point with the most powerful logic and others have to speak the same spoken by you. Others should praise you. You shall not praise yourself. Others shall find out their faults with the help of your criticism and rectify themselves. If your point is true, the strength of the truth of your point is sufficient to capture every soul in this world. You need not flatter your point and scold others’ points. The mere presentation of your true point will make other false points to vanish like the sunrise driving away the darkness from all corners of the area.
