WHAT MUSLIM BASTARDS DID AT MATHURA !!!!!!!

[ravi]

“Hindu Masjids” written by Praful Goradia

Repeated destruction of Mathura.

The richly jeweled idols taken from the pagan temples were transferred
to Agra and there placed beneath the steps leading to the Nawab Begum
Sahib’s mosque, in order that they might ever be pressed under foot
by the true believers. The city’s name was changed to Islamabad.

Can you guess the name of this unfortunate place? We can tell who
published those words. He was Vincent A. Smith ICE, the famous
historian.

If you cannot guess, it was Mathura, the birth place of Sri Krishna.
Most of the idols were from the just destroyed Kesava Deva Mandir,
built at the spot where the popular avatar was believed to have been
born some 3,400 years ago. If Mohmud Ghazni was a jaahil or a
barbarian, one might have been inclined to overlook his outrage and
excuse him.

But both AL-Beruni and Utbi, who were chroniclers and lived in
Ghazni’s times, certified that Mahmud was devout and built beautiful
mosques in his Ghazna. For the author it is difficult to do unto
others what he would dislike others doing unto him. It is not easy a
conscience to live with double standards. The author is not a regular
worshipper and yet he can appreciate what puja, prayer or ibadat means
to others.

He would hate to disturb them. So much for sentiment. Beyond that of
course is the Hindu in him which tells him that every karma leads to
bhagya, every deed goes to shape destiny. Every action has a reaction,
equal and opposite.

This reasoning must have been alien to Mahmud Ghazni in 1017 AD,
although his forefathers must have been Hindu or Buddhist, or
possibly, pagan (there was no Islam until the seventh century).

Do you think that the misfortunes of the Afghan people, especially
since the Soviet invasion in April 1978 are the Bhagya resulting from
the karmas of isonoclasts like Mahmud? He was not the only blood
thirsty invader. There were a series of them from Afghanistan.

The last big vandal was Ahmed Shah Abdali of the 18th century. What
was perpetrated at Mathura, is unthinkable in any context of
civilization.

You will experience it better when you read what a British Christian
had to say. As a Hindu, all that athe suthor will say is that no one
is more widely adored amongst us than Sri Krishna. From Jammu in the
north to Kanyakumari in the south, from Dwarka in the west to Imphal
in the east, there are many number of Krishna worshippers. Moreover,
there is no hindu who would not be an adorer of this son of Mathura.
He gave the Bhagawat Gita to us.

Even today, every Hindu swears by it before answering in any court,
just as Christians and Muslims swear by the Bible and Quran
respectively. If there be anyh one book from which a Hindu wishes to
understand his faith, it is the Gita. In fact, everyone, at least in
India, understand what Sri Krishna means to the Hindu psyche. Just as
Sri rama exemplifies the uncompromising idealist, Krishna personifies
the comprehensive realist. When a Hindu has a problem, he wonders what
Kesava would have done to solve it with his genius for tactics and
strategy. If he wishes to celebrate a festival, he thinks of Giridhar
Gopal. If he dreams of frolis, he sees Gopinath. If he looks for love,
he cannot but help dream of Radheshyam.

If his Mathura: A District Memoir, Growse has recorded his exhaustive
survey and research about Brajbhoomi. He was so overwhelmed by the
vandalism that visited the area repeatedly, that he wrote feelingly,
although his home was in far away England. To quote : thanks to
Muhammadan intolerance, there is not a single building of any
antiquity either in the city itself or its environs. Its most famous
temple – that dedicated to Kesava Deva – was destroyed in 1669, the
eleventh year of the reign of the iconoclast Aurangzeb (Alamgir was
also his name). The mosque (idgah) erected on its ruins is a building
of little architectural value.


Mahmud Ghazni was however the first isonoclast to candalise Mathura.
That was in 1017 AD about which Growse wrote: *If any one wished to
construct a building equal to it, he would not be able to do so
withour expending a hyndred million dinars, and the work would occupy
two hundred years, even though the most able and experienced workmen
were employed. Orders were given that all the temples should be burnt
with naphtha and fire and leveled with the ground. The city was given
up to plunder for twenty days. Among the spoils are said to have been
five great idols of pure gold with eyes of rubies and adornments of
other precious stones, together with a vast number of smaller silver
images, which, when broken up, formed a load for more than a hundred
camels. The total value of the spoils has been estimated at three
millions of rupees; while the number of hindus carried away into
captivity exceeded 5,000.

Today Balkrishna is worshipped in a little room which appears like a
servant quarter attached to the back of the idgah. Pathos can be
experienced by any visitor, whether a devotee or otherwise.

To go back to Aurangzeb, over two centuries after the desecration,
Growse felt tha: of all the sacred placed in India, none enjoys a
greater popularity than the capital of Braj, the holy city of Mathura.
For nine months in the year, festival follows upon festival in rapid
succession and the ghats and temples are daily thronged with new
troops of way-worn pilgrims. So great is the sanctity of the spot more
meritorious than a lifetime passed at Benares. All this celebrity is
due to the fact of it being the birthplace of the demi-god Krishna.

In his chapter entitled The Braj Mandal, the Ban Yatra and the Holi as
Growse puts it: *not only the city of Mathura, but with it, the whole
of the western half of the district has a special interest of its own
as the birthplace and abiding home of Vaishnava Hinduism. It is about
42 miles in length with an average breadth of 30 miles and is
intersected throughout by the river Jamuna. In the neighbourhood is
Gokul and Brindaban, where the divine brothers Krishna and Balaram
grazed their herds. He continues: Almost every spot is traditionally
connected with some event in the life of Krishna or of his mythical
mistress Radha.

To paraphrase William Shakespeare, not all the scents of Arabia would
suffice to wash away the sins of Ghazni and Alamgir at Mathura. And
since it is not possible to claim back what was destroyed long age,
the return of the Idgaah and the Shuddhi of Krishna Janmabhoomi or the
birth place of Krishna, is the only alternative.
