Chapter 13 – Gita as Scripture
_The Gita is no Veda or Vedanga. The scriptural authority which it now posses is a late_ _acquisition…..Even S.A.Belwalkar had to own it, though tacitly, when he said that the_ _gita attained its “dominant position” during “the last twelve hundred years”, that is_ _after Sankaracharya’s lifetime…….[Pages 124-125]_
The same Hindu-Brahmin Sankaracharya who murdered millions of Buddhists through the largest ethnic cleansing, a Holocaust of the 12th century, brought the Gita out of total obscurity to promote his own sectarian and caste interests to blunt the rapid rise of Buddhism. This decadent text with his alchemy was made to shine like gold. All four Acharyas were from the four southern linguistic areas. Their dark and deep influence lasted till the eighteenth century. No wonder a mentally enslaved people were ruled easily by the Mughals for a millennia and the British for over two centuries.
_The very first of_ _its translations into English aoppeared in 1785. Translated in by Charles_ _Wilkins under the title Bhagvat-Geeta, or Dialouges of Kreeshna and Arjoon, its_
_publication was actively promoted by the then Governor-General of India, Warren_ _Hastings…..Its French_ _rendering by M.Parraud (Le Bhagaut-Geeta) appeared in_ _1787…..[Pages 126-127]_
The elasticity and the double speak of the text compounds the dichotomy, no wonder Gandhi and his assassin Godse both revered the Gita. The Gita is so ambiguous that a normal person will go nuts trying to figure out any ethical spirituality within it. _Upadhyaya proceeded next to print in parallel columns all the passages lifted verbatim_ _from the Upnaishads and they total up to twenty-two……But the first prize in plagiarism_ _should go_ _to the Gita. It is a shining honor?......[Page 130]_
So much priestly fraud has been committed that no wonder everything is contradictory and there is no continuous inspiration to the sublime.
