SANATAN, A curse.
“Sanatan “ … one encounters this word may a times when one studies Hinduism. But what does this word exactly mean and what implication does it have on our country? The explanation is given by Kulluka Bhatt in his commentary of Mansumriti Ch Shloka 22-23.This verse in Manusmriti deals with how were the Veda’s created. Kulluka Bhatt in his commentary says that Sanatan means eternally “pre-existing”. At start of every “Kalpa” a new set of Vedas is created by Bramha from his memory ie the Vedas have a superhuman origin. Understanding the meaning it is interesting to note why did Brahmins choose to give this super human origin to the Vedas? This study is imperative to understand what a great curse not only to Hinduism but to this country the word Sanatan has been.
The Sanatan nature was given to the Vedas to make it Sacrosanct. The Vedas had a super human origin and hence are infallible. This doctrine not only made Vedas divine but also above any kind of questions. Mortals can not ask questions to the divine, they are only supposed to follow. Slowly this Sanatan nature of the Vedas was extended to all the other texts as well. Now nothing could be challenged. Religion, which is supposed to answer people’s questions was itself structured in a way that no one could ask questions. That’s the reason why all the evils of the society continued for so long. No one could eradicate them because to eradicate the evils, one has to subject the practice to the questions of logic to determine if it is evil or righteous. The word Sanatan killed this spirit only. Thousands of years of imposing the Sanatan culture created a herd mentality where people slowly became dumb followers. That is primary reason why
If one has to apply his logic to use, one would find so many inconsistencies in Hinduism. I am attempting to do just that…
Though there are numerous stories about Parshuram, but I am going to talk about a few.
Once, Renuka went to the river to get some water. There she was enticed by looking at a handsome gandharv taking bath.She was lost in admiring him and she got late.Jamadagni was furious on knowing the reason of her being late and ordered his son to kill her.All his sons except Parshurama refused. Jamadagni asked Parshurama to slay his own mother and his brothers for disobeying him. Parshurama obliged this by chopping of their head.Jamadagni was impressed by his this son and granted him a boon. He immediately wished for the life of his mother and brothers. Jamadagni had the knowledge of bringing back dead to life.He brought back to life his wife and sons on Parshuram’s request.
Now this is a very small part in the legend of Parshuram who was himself incarnation of Lord Vishnu.But it in itself present so many riddles.
I agree that the lower castes in India have been treated very badly over the centuries. But u must understand, that the Vedas do not preach discrimination. They never say that one caste is better than the other. I have a simple question for you....Have u studied the Vedic scriptures before commenting like this? Today people from all communities are free to learn the Vedic texts, u have the constitutional right to learn whatever u want. Pls study the holy texts before making such statements. Besides,the Vedic texts include the Upanishads and many other texts. The Bhagavad gita teaches that if there is ever a confusion between the conscience and texts, choose the conscience and rational.
You are terribly misinformed. Lord Parshuram did not kill ALL kshatriyas. He let the just and fair rulers live. He was against only the egoistic and unfair kshatriyas. He also introduced fishermen into the brahmin community, thereby breaking the tradition of the caste passing on only through family.
I wish the best for all communities.
Whoever is the writer...is definitely not a pro- dalit in my opinion.he seems to be the puppet of the Congressi Catholic lobby to break this Hindu nation.
Anyways, coming to the point made by this person about "Sanatan" being a burden n cause of problems for dalits.
Firstly, the varna system isn't applicable in the Kalyuga.You should read the Bhagwat puran and Bhagwad Gita where it is mentioned.
Secondly, who is a dalit and his role?
Dalits aren't born by birth but by karma.
A dalits duty is to serve the other 3 varnas I.e. brahmin,Kshatriya and vaishya.just like a Kshatriya has to fight for his subjects and protect them. A brahmin has to spread knowledge and enable moksha for all souls.
Thirdly,if Sanatan dharma is biased against dalits( shudras), then whar was the caste of these respected souls? : The editor of the Vedas, and author of Mahabaratha , Bagavad geetha, Krishna Dwaipayana (Veda Vyasa ) was born to a fisher woman, and Sri Krishna who delivered the Bagavad Geetha, himself was a yadhava by birth, Ramayana was written by Valmiki ,again a shudra by birth.To go further Rishi Matanga a born chandala (shudra by birth) through his thapas, gained knowledge to the extent that Devi Sarasvathi , was born to him and was called Mathagi, Chandali.
The stories above are enough proof for the misconcept that Shudras are NOT PERMITTED to study the Vedas and only Brahamans are superior.
Sanathana Dharma ,is like a free flowing river, it has no custodian, any body can quench their thirst .
If the cast system was true, would a Bramhin take his knowledge coming from a Shudra, an untouchable as he is called?
Sadly people Who are wrongly influenced by other new man made religions are hoping their agenda through dalits and dalits are falling for it.
God bless Bharat.
Dear Religion is ur way of life. Hinduism is a good religion the problem is we do not understand it.

Parashuram story is kind of twisted by casteist people.Also it is said in Hindu text that parashuram begged for his life from one of his son and that was the end of 21 generation war.In jain text parashuram is said to be killed by shastraarjun son.Also parashuram was such a cheap person that he tried to kill shastraarjun sons when they were in womb and killed many of them.If you read any Commmunity history claiming haihayas lineage you would only notice that there were ancestor were saved by xyz reason when they were in womb.
hinduism is the best religion. Infact it is not a religion. It shows each and every human being the path to live life, to react in every situation. Hinduism is the only humanism. when people appear on this earth this was the only thing to be followed by everyone. later people named it hinduism because DHARMA in our vedas never meant religion but it meant the truth, the goodness, the code of conduct to be followed by everyone and many more things. Hinduism is so vast that no one can just understand it in 1 or 2 time study of vedas.some people made hinduism dirty just to establish their supermacy and to ensure it. otherwise no other religion can teach what it teaches and no other religion can attain the height of goodness Hinduism has and no other religion has the capacity to have a depth hinduism has as it is still unknown that who was the founder of hinduism as the only god founded itself.
Wow clearly you haven't read anu classical hindu scriptures. Iam awe struck by the fact that people write blogs with glass deep knowledge. I am compelled to beleive that your understanding of parasyamayi comes from some amar kadha or children story book. Read sahyadri kanda, keralolpathi, mahabaratha , kalkipurana and pracheena malayalam . You will get out of your well. I will pray for you . Thank you
First of all, i would like to thank the writer of dis article to raise such issues which seems unresolved due to lack of knowledge, right+true intentions,
The writer says that parshuram after wiping out kshatriyas gives all d land to brahmins only, not the rulers, he could give it to others like raavan, a devotee of bhagwan shiv or any other?
But the writer ignores or doesn't know d fact that raavan was a brahmin and a knowledgeful person himself, a ruler also, it indicates that his intention was to give the land to right ones, not the powerful, brahmin, close one at the cost of the righteousness being distorted
Also, some say that hindu caste system was brahmin favouring, fpr being put on top but if it was, then, why were kshatriyas were mostly the rulers, why not the brahmins? And why during d early vedic times, d vaishyas (traders) were the rulers, why not brahmins?
So this wroting piece of the writer seems to be lack of not only knowledge but also practicality, smelling with personal or selfish desires, which makes the indian society castes hateful to each other, it's like blaming the entire ocean-religion for unevolved mindsets who favours caste discrimination for selfishness
who may be brahmin, dalit or any other
And favours some writings where the writer calls parshuram a fiend/mad, not seeing that every hindu god involved in wiping out the whole community of evil,shriram in ramayana for evil rakshas, shrikrishna in mahabharata for bad kaurvas, and shiv bhagwan, inarnations of bhagwan vishnu- in diff. Ways, so, the writer distorts the idea ofjustice, if the most famous gods does wiping out of d evil is not questionable but if the parshuram, a brahmin, not much famous as a form of god does it, he is fiend/mad?

I'll try to explain the significance of this story and about the reality of Brahmins in general because there's a narrative which has poisoned our hindu society and still confuses many that Brahmins oppressed Dalits and other lower castes. If one thoroughly studies the scripture the Holy Science by Yukteshwar Giri Paramhamsa and ancient scriptures like Shiva Rahasya, one can understand that Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra are broadly the states of consciousness or levels of openness of heart or varying degrees of awakening of a human society in general at a point in time or in a period. In Satya Yuga, even a person choosing Shudra path can be a brahmin while in Kali Yuga even a brahmin claiming to be one is definitely a Shudra. Pls note that Brahmins are people of childlike nature who are properly groomed and guided in the sense that a child should be if his childhood has to be kept preserved, how can such a person the be atrocious towards any other being? The answer is careful analysis of ancient civilizations and placing them on the wheel of time then also simultaneously understanding the significance of wheel itself because the whole Yuga cycle is basically one body and one person whose awareness oscillates between high and low. Hence the reality in which Brahmins lives is different from the ones in which Kshatriya lives and so on. Also note that when one leaves the Shudra consciousness(human consc in general today) then by that leap alone his capabilities are enhanced greatly like awareness of electricity and magnetism around him etc, this explains why people in ancient times were capable of learning yoga and magic so quick. Our history has been carried thru times when human consciousness had long fallen from higher to lower states making the heart darker and thus the significance and meaning of these stories has been greatly lost like someone earlier pointed out, rightly said, no one today truly understands hinduism but not all is lost I believe. The Brahmins that are said to have oppressed Dalits aren't brahmins at all, they're in fact Shudras. In ancient times in India, even a slave or servant was someone who was considered to not have task of his own so he asks others for work, whoever deems him has qualified to work with him, he joins his work and gains the same caste as him, mind it, a servant who serves a brahmin verily belongs to a brahmin caste now and is by the law to be served as equally as a brahmin and so on. The Brahmins and Kshatriyas that remained in dark ages were mostly cases like those because kingdoms were breaking apart and not able to retain the true dharma which had been passed down to them for ages, we had been descending because time for India's glory was passing (just a spoke in the great wheel of time among other spokes like Greek Civilization or American Civilization).
(Contd from prev)
Overtime Indians came down from their respective levels of consciousness to Shudra levels and because what they saw wasn't what their ancestors saw, they had a really confusing time. The oncoming of Mughal and British period worsened it or rather made our fall quicker because they introduced things in our culture which weren't Vedic. This helped transition us completely to Shudra Age. The initial panic began when we started seeing deviations in pronunciation of Vedas and scriptures because oral tradition is true communication in which we maintain a higher level language which is directly passed down to us by a high level yogi or brahmin. We had already long lost contacts to those now all that was left was the tradition of reciting and maintaining them but that too was losing cz of various reasons. This led to the early forms of chaos and misdeeds where brahmins tried to close themselves off from the world, it wasn't to discriminate against other castes but to preserve their own purity with which they'd preserve and pass on vedas and continue Vedic Period. But people caught on to a shallow idea and started looking at Dalits in the wrong way as a result and it became a mode of bias. As mentioned earlier, under the effect of Shudra consciousness, some of them lost sense of caste system and kingdom administration as well and applied this system where the son of brahmin is also a son, this came up because discrimination has taken place in our hearts, a true brahmin is a Paramhamsa who cant discriminate in a dust particle and a galaxy even. What to speak of another human who is like god in manifest form.
(Contd..)
Now the last part is why he killed Renuka or why Jamadagni killed his wife. Or what was the emphasis of making this story a part of Puranas(it its cited from there, not sure). The two halves of the time wheel talked about earlier or simply the galactic cycle are like day and night of our Sun. One part is ruled by feminine and the other by masculine force in a broad sense. The time when Satya Yuga is talked of in Purana acc is likely to he the time in history when the power was shifting from feminine to masculine and men being the symbol and beings to whom masculinity comes naturally were to he the example to follow or guiding lights of that time. Hence Renuka was to be expected to be utterly devoted to her husband. But its not just about expectations. We're talking about a Brahmins who self learned a lost Veda called Dhanur Veda, ofc he wasn't small minded. This has partly to do with what we understand as abiding in truth. A lot of us live in false today and refrain from speaking her heart or what we believe to be true because maybe things like shame(one of the veils which darken the heart/consc). Brahmins then were beings that lived or strived to live most freely and their actions were sometimes not easy to understand as they were childlike. Renuka was also known quite well for having an unbreakable devotion towards her husband. But Lust and Greed have been explained by Ramakrishna to be the biggest enemies to man and derail him from road to salvation. Since Brahmins were example setters and people of important position to not only India, Earth but the universe at large, their purity and consitency was extremely imp. Jamadagni knew this and could see how the lust engaged in even for that moment in his wife could now incite the same in him. The question here was certainly not the purity of his wife but of him because for men its harder to maintain purity as we carry the driving force which gets things done(masculine). In general even today we can see, its easier for men to turn on compared to ladies. Her mistake could have costed him and others a lot who saw him as a guiding light, not to mention the complicated situations that can arise, an example of it is his own sons trembling and hesitating at the moment of executing dharma which leads to the merciless slaying of his own sons. If this had not been carried out, similar things would have propagated to outside at a more complex level, detailing entire nations from road to nirvana. Ofc none of this seems relevant and important to us now cuz we have already long derailed from that path and settled in this new life but thanks for reading im tired now, wicked ADHD.
This is a very crafty and illogical, irrational,and totally I'll imagined twisting of tits and bits of information!!!Dare to attempt such a blasphemy with Quran.You will definitely be cured.
Those things were to happen for lord parshurama to get his boon also the things were reversed later.
There would be a reason why lord parshurama killed Kshatriyas maybe coz their constant feuds and ward disturbed mankind.
Parshurama came 21 times because even after coming 20 times kshatriyas didn't stop so the 21 st time too.
If Kshatriyas kept on with their feud maybe it would have interrupted the flow of yugas.
Do you know about butterfly effect wherein it is said that if a man sneezes in London it could lead to huricane in India.
God knows all the results of all his actions.
Y did renuka Devi call parashurama 21 times. Any significance of number 21.
Sanatan is beautiful because it is born out of questions. Every one has right to raise doubt about divinity. You can lead your own life as per your belief. No one is giving you punishment like islam. The writer is full of ignorance. I am sanatani because I am free to think what I like to think. The sanatan gives me absolute freedom about what to do and about what not to do.This is not possible in another religion.
first of all you should place correct story.. which is he killed all currupt kshatriyas of earth 21 times as mentioned in Mahabharata and left their new generation to occupy thrones. Main Problem is we are not pure sanatan.We modified our thoughts and religious beliefs with time. We cannot read Vedas so we keep on reading all foolish writers who incorporate their own stories.People who think they know everything,they are not aware that they have not yet started.
All religions are stupid. All followers are fake. Human intelligence is above these year old scripture to understand good and bad in life. We are evolved beyond this. We developed science society judiciary law democracy to manage all evils. We dont need gods religions and religious books. No god is helping in bad times. Its you who help.
