 SWASTIKA and CROSS
In popular western thinking, no two symbols could possibly be more at odds with each other than the swastika and the cross. The swastika is the symbol of Nazi war crimes against humanity and the cross is the symbol of goodness, mercy and divine grace.
But what if this isn’t true?

 An
Indian Speaks Out
by Pradeep Sharma
Christianity,
as we know it, is actually an offshoot of
Judaism that began in 35 CE, under the ministry
of Paul and later gained significant political
power under the patronage of the Roman Emperor
Constantine in the 4th Century.

 The Borrowing
Theory reviews the debate of
the same name which began in 1762 and
concluded in 1909. Was Christianity the
source of religious inspiration in India?
Or
was the worship of Lord Krishna a practice
long before Jesus?

 Origins
of Judeo-Christian Theology and Scripture is
a summary overview that looks at the
roots of Christianity going as far back
as to the time when Zoroastrian priests
[Pharisees] administered Zoroastrian
doctrine and conception to the Jewish
community of Judea and essentially gave
them the tenants of current day Judaism
known as Pharisaic Judaism. This in turn
became Christianity.
|
 Origins
of the New Testament looks at
the New Testament and examines the historical
events that took place during and after
the time when Paul of Tarsus entered
among the followers of Jesus and subsequently
rejected the
laws of Moses while administering the new doctrine of
Jesus to the Gentiles. Were the Gospels actually written
by the disciples of Jesus or by someone else?" Is
the New Testament the Word of God?

of Christianity. It has made one half the world
fools, and the other half hypocrites."

 Jesus
in the Aquarian Gospel
by Pradeep Sharma
To some believers of the [Christian] faith
the Aquarian Gospel is thought to be a book
of great antiquity that verifies that Jesus
journeyed to India in his youth. A general
impression among some people seems to abound
that Jesus came to learn from the wise in India
and that he also visited temples and worshipped
God [Krishna] there. Nothing however could
be farther from the truth.

Dialogue with a Christian
by Pradeep Sharma
"The followers
of this religion (Christianity) have no power to worship God selflessly. In
general their idea is that by cultivating fruitive work and speculative
philosophy one should work to make improvements in the material world." |
 The
Dead Sea Scrolls & The Crisis of Christianity
An Eastern View of a Western Crisis by NS Rajaram
The
book that the Catholic Church doesn't want
you to read! In the UK, the church bought
the entire stock and pressured the publishers

book reveals the truth about the history
of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Christianity — a
truth that spells the end of Christianity
as we know it.

 In
Paine's
Letter, Thomas
Paine replies to a
friend who recently tried
to oblige Paine to accept Christianity and
the Bible as the “Word of God.” Paine in no uncertain terms makes it clear
to his friend that no discerning
gentleman will accept the Bible as the word
of God. In
Paine’s opinion, “the
Bible is a gross libel against the justice and
goodness of God, in almost
every part of it.” Paine makes it quite
clear to his friend that he is not
an atheist but that he does not accept the
Bible as anymore than a book from
which man has learned cruelty, rapine, and
murder; for the belief of a cruel
God makes a cruel man.

 Aryan Invasion of California: Global Background
by Dr. N.S. Rajaram
Fall of the Third Reich did not put an end to academic race theories that formed the core of its ideology. In various guises, their legacy continues in Western academia as well as in the politics of countries formerly under European rule. While avoiding overtly racial terms, scholars in disciplines like Indo-European Studies continue to uphold scientifically discredited and historically disgraced theories built around the Aryan myth. |
 Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls
by Pradeep Sharma
The
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 in the Qumran region of Palestine
quickly became recognized as one of the most important archaeological finds of
the 20th century. However, the
translations of a few of the first scrolls released came as a most unexpected
shock — one that threatened to undermine the very fundamental viewpoint
of mainstream Christianity.

 Gnostics
and New Age Christianity
by Pradeep Sharma
A
new way of thinking among the followers of Jesus appears to us today by the
name New Age Christianity. What exactly this new type of Christianity is has
not yet been fully defined and whether or not it will gain recognition in the
broader field of Christianity remains to be seen via the test of time. |
 Christianity
or Mithraism? is an article that

An
ossuary (bone casket) discovered in Jerusalem was

it turned out to be fake.

The Bhavisya
Purana is considered to be one of the
major 18 Puranas of the Vedic canon,
however some of the predictions found in
the Bhavisya Purana concerning certain
events and specifically the prediction
of Jesus found in the 19th Chapter of the Pratisarga-parva section,
cannot be taken as absolute.

 Jesus
H. Christ — The Passion of Mel
Gibson. A review by David Edelstein. What
does this protracted exercise in sado-masochism
have to do with Christian faith? I'm asking;
I don't know. Gibson's revenge movies end
with payback but
by wallowing in his torture and death for
two hours, the director of The Passion
of the Christ (Newmarket) suggests that
he's thinking of anything but ... religion. |
 A
case in Court - Did Jesus Exist?
Have you read the book, "The Fable of
Christ" by Luigi Cascioli? The Italian
court system is about to read it because
it's the leading evidence in a case
heard in January 2006 to prove
the inexistence of Jesus Christ.

 Crusade
in India
Christian organizations in India spare no efforts
to project Christianity and its leaders as mighty
institutions of the mighty West that Indians
should respect and fear. The Indian establishment
(Government, media and educational institutions)
have mostly accepted this claim on face value.
The reality is entirely different. The Pope has
admitted that, "Christianity has lost the
West." Christian organizations are resorting
to desperate methods - like possible collusion
with Muslim fundamentalist outfits to create
discord - in their efforts to convert India.

 An
Indian Speaks Out - Part 2
by Pradeep Sharma
The
systematic slander and crusade against Indian
culture and particularly Vaishnava culture
in India seems to have begun immediately
after the arrival of the Portuguese and Christian
(Catholic) missionaries in India (Goa/Kerala)
almost five centuries ago and has to one
degree or another persisted up to the present
day. The Goan Inquisition was the bloody
inauguration by 'Saint' Xavier of what has
been a 500 year slander and crusade against
Vaishnavism.

 Malleus
Maleficarum
2.4 MB PDF ]
“Whether the Belief that there are such Beings
as Witches is so Essential a Part of the Catholic
Faith that Obstinacy to maintain the Opposite
Opinion manifestly savours of Heresy.” The immediate,
and lasting, popularity of the Malleus essentially
silenced those voices. It made very real the
threat of one being branded a heretic, simply
by virtue of one's questioning of the existence
of witches and, thus, the validity of the Inquisition.
It set into the general Christian consciousness,
for all time, a belief in the existence of witches
as a real and valid threat to the Christian world.
It is a belief which is held to this day.

 Jesus
Christ - An Artifice for Aggression
"The
historicity of Jesus Christ has been
for a long time one of the principal
dogmas of all Christian denominations.
In India where the history of the
search for the Jesus of history remains
unknown even to the so-called educated
elite, the missionaries continue
to hawk this dogma without fear of
contradiction."In
the West, however, this "solid
historical figure" has evaporated
into thin air.

'CHRISTIANS
UNDER SIEGE': A MISSIONARY PLOY
by
Dr. David Frawley
Missionaries
in India are using their age-old tactic of
posing as victims to camouflage their aggression. Christianity
does not have a notable reputation for tolerance
and respect for other religions. The Christian
need to convert the entire world has been
an historical obsession that continues in
major Christian groups today, both Protestant
and Catholic. |
 Christian Missionary Atrocities
Christian missionaries are generally depicted
as simple religious folk with a pure desire to
peacefully spread their gospel and message of
love. In reality, their methods of propagation
are often anything but peaceful and usually leave
behind a native population stripped of their
culture and often decimated. With Christianity
failing in the west, the evangelists seek new
and greener fields in the poor and uneducated
sections of third world countries, backed by
huge coffers from the less zealous... Missionaries

Deceptions summarizes the extent of

Gospel of Judas —
Sealed With a Kiss
"The Gospel of Judas was in vogue for a few hundred

National Geographic Society has just published a translation
of the long lost work, with a companion volume explaining
its provenance and exploring its meaning".

 Historical
Jesus examines the evidence and the

who was the King of the Jews and the savior
of the world.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who were,

and free nation, a nation that promised freedom
of religion - freedom from Christian fundamentalist
oppression.
