Whimsical “Hindu” Gurus and Their Pulpit Pronouncements

 

Whimsical “Hindu” Gurus and Their Pulpit Pronouncements

 Shrikant G. Talageri 

 

I had started out on my blog-writing career in 2012 with my four articles on songs in Jhap Taal and Roopak Taal. For four years, these were the only articles on my blogspot. In 2016, I (along with several other anti-AIT scholars and writers) was classified as an “idiot” in a blog by a blog-writer, a Hindu Guru with apparently a devout following, who titled himself Manasatamgini – for refusing to accept the AIT! I wrote a detailed reply to it but found that no pro-Hindu journal on the internet was willing to publish an article against a popular “Hindu Guru”. The wonderful part of this was that it made me publish the article on 5 May 2016 on my blog, and after that my blogspot has become my own private publishing spot for writing articles free of editing and censorship by politically correct editors.

Someone today drew my attention to a tweet by another Hindu Guru. At least I assume he is a Hindu Guru since he apparently has over 47000 followers, and his twitter handle has the following to say:

@Mahesh10816

“Madhwa Sampradaya-Gargeshya Gotra - Rig Veda Sakha. ( Dharma – Artha – Kāma – Mokṣa ) Chant Hare Krishna & be Happy- independent voice- No party affiliation”

I don’t know why I am wasting time writing about such people who seem to see no need to do actual research by examining facts and data, and who prefer to give absolute freedom to their fertile imaginations to write any pompous nonsense out of thin air. Perhaps because the wide reach of the devout following of such the writers of such nonsense seems to make serious study and research redundant?

The particular tweet brought to my attention was as follows:

https://x.com/Mahesh10816/status/2115128541314781598

“The Zorastrians in Iran are descendents of Angira rishi. When River Saraswati dried up, people there had to move out ( Exodus) in various directions One team went North led by Kashyap muni One team went South led by Aghastya muni One team went West led by Angira muni. Their religious text "Zend avesta" has remarkable similarities with our Vedas" They worship" God of Fire " Agni Their God " Ahura Mazda ( lord of wisdom) is our Agni dev Will write in detaile: similarities between Zorastrianism & Sanatan Dharma when time permits”

Now where he get all this data showing that “The Zorastrians in Iran are descendents of Angira rishi” (i.e. Angiras); and that when “River Saraswati dried up”, three delegations of Vedic people migrated in three directions under the leadership of “Kashyap muni”, “Aghastya muni” and “Angira muni”; and also that “Their God Ahura Mazda ( lord of wisdom) is our Agni dev”?

Did he get all this knowledge in the form of visions as he sat (like Manasataramgini) chanting mantras in front of Agni?

[Incidentally, at least his claim that “Their God Ahura Mazda ( lord of wisdom) is our Agni dev” was apparently corrected in many comments which pointed out that Ahura Mazda is the equivalent of Varuna and not Agni].

 

On another issue, see also his incredible tweet on Israel:

https://x.com/Mahesh10816/status/2115077017813287341

“I sincerely wish Bibi @netanyahu should lose these elections. He has caused considerable harm to his own people, people in the region and the entire world as such. You can't erase one country and race from the face of the earth ( Iran ) Reconciliation and shared space is the need of the hour. Win- lose solution never lasts, win- win solution lasts longer. Bibi never wanted a negotiated settlement. Every time Iran and US were close to a deal , Bibi sabotaged it. He always wanted the region to be on the boil. Iran was ready to give up it's Nukes and permanently freeze it's military nuclear program but Israel wanted it's total destruction. Targeting international leaders is not diplomacy, it's assassination and murder Iran was a cornered cat but Bibi wanted it dead Let's see how people of Israel react”

I don’t know whether this man has the slightest idea of what is going on in the world. Yes, Islamists, Leftists and Christian Fundamentalists and other anti-Semitic (i.e. anti-Jewish) forces, who together control practically the whole of academia and media in the world, and control all major politicians, have been loud and vocal in their condemnation of Israel. But for a seeming Hindu Guru to vomit such bile is incredible.

See what he writes: “You can’t erase one country and race from the face of the earth”. There is only one country and one race in the world which countless other entities and countries all over the world have openly talked about “erasing from the face of the earth”; and that country is Israel and that race is the Jews. And Iran has been the most vocal in this respect (along with many other Islamic organizations and countries). This man thinks he can change black into white and white into black in one sentence by adding “(Iran)” to the above sentence. It is Iran which is pouring countless billions of dollars, and endless propaganda and men, into fundamentalist armies and militias on the borders of Israel with the openly avowed aim of “erasing Israel and Jews from the face of the earth”. All of Israel’s actions are only meant to try to prevent its own “erasure” by its haters (which category, it now appears, includes stray Hindu Gurus).

The point is not about whether he is for or against Netanyahu. The point is that his antipathy is not because he supports some other Israeli Jewish leader, but because he supports Iran (and perhaps the Palestinian militants)! And in all this tu-tu-main-main, the victors are the Arab citizens of Israel:

As I pointed out in an earlier article, the Muslim voters of Israel were around 14% in 1948, and are now around 21% in 2026. Israel may well be overtaken by the same fate as India and most of Europe in 50 years time! And, as in India, the courts in Israel are dominated by Leftist judges: recently (on 23 September 2026)  Israel’s Central Election Committee banned the Arab parties. But the Supreme Court of Israel (appropriately on 2 October 2026, the birthday of the Father of India’s Partition) overturned the ban. And today, these resurgent Arab parties are likely to get 19 seats or so out of 120 in the Knesset, and influence the formation of the next government of Israel: already Leftists in the Opposition (to Netanyahu) Bloc are calling for a joint government with the Arab parties. Vināśa kālē viparīta buddhi. And this is now (in 2026): what will be the case 50 years hence? Now that the anti-Jew coalition (of which Leftist Jews were always a part) has been joined by the Israeli Judiciary and “Hindu” Gurus…… !

The Silent Christianization of South India

 

The Silent Christianization of South India

 Shrikant G. Talageri 

 

People love to criticize Islamic activities in India. But usually Hindus turn a blind eye towards the Slow Poison or Spreading Cancer of Christian Evangelization in India. “Intellectuals” and Politicians of every hue (very definitely not excluding those of the pseudo-Hindutvite BJP Parivar) fall over each other to heap lavish praise on Jesus Christ, the Religion of Love, and Eminent Evangelists (like “St. Xavier” and Mother Teresa), and to propagate the blatant lie that Christianity was brought to India in the very first century of its birth and existence by an “apostle of Jesus”, “St. Thomas”.

But I have always pointed out that Evangelical Christianity is much more dangerous than Islam.

While India as a whole will definitely become a Muslim-majority country in 50 years or so, certain specific parts (including entire major states) will become Christian-majority areas definitely by the same time. I will only point out here what is happening in South India. But, on different scales, this is also happening in every single part of India without exception.

The following are questions asked by me on Google, with the Google AI Overview replies (which can still be underestimates): 

 

Q.1. Estimated percentage of Christians in Tamilnadu today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“The official Christian population in Tamil Nadu is 6.12% according to the Census of India. [1]

Unofficial estimates that factor in crypto-Christians—individuals who have converted to Christianity but maintain Hindu status on official government records to retain Scheduled Caste (SC) or backward-class reservation and welfare benefits—vary widely: [1, 2]

·         Conservative/Media Estimates: Various political and media analyses place the real Christian population (including crypto-Christians) between 12% and 18% of the state's population. [1, 2]

·         Higher Unofficial Claims: Commentators, social media analyses, and certain observer estimates claim the figure could range anywhere from 25% to 30% due to unrecorded conversions and the influence of church networks.”

 

Q.2. Estimated percentage of Christians in Andhra Pradesh today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“Official census data records Christians as 1.34% of Andhra Pradesh’s population (roughly 6.8 to 1.1 million people), but unofficial estimates including "Crypto-Christians"—individuals who practice Christianity but remain registered as Hindus on official records to keep caste-based Scheduled Caste (SC) reservations and government benefits—place the real figure significantly higher. [1, 2, 3]

Summary of Estimates

·         Official Census Data (2011 / projections): 1.34% of the state population. [1, 2]

·         Conservative Unofficial Estimates: 5% to 8%. [1, 2]

·         Moderate to Higher Estimates (including widespread SC/Dalit conversions): 10% to 18% (with some estimates ranging up to 20%–25%) depending on the region.”

 

Q.3. Estimated percentage of Christians in Telangana today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“Official Census records put the Christian population in Telangana at 1.27% to 1.34% (around 4.45 to 4.47 lakh people), but community surveys and estimates that include "crypto-Christians" (individuals who practice Christianity while retaining Hindu/Scheduled Caste status on official records for reservation benefits) place the real-world figure much higher, between 8% and 10% of the state's population. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Official vs. Real-World Estimates

·         Official Census Data (2011): Records 1.27% of Telangana's population as Christian (approximately 4.47 out of 3.52 crore people). [1, 2]

·         Community & Post-Election Surveys: Christian community leaders and internal surveys conducted after recent state elections estimate the active or practicing population to be over 25 lakhs (8% to 10%), driven largely by converts from Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Backward Classes (BCs). [1, 2]

·         Crypto-Christian Estimates: Advocacy groups and independent analysts estimate that a substantial portion—roughly 40% to 50% or more of Dalit converts—do not register as Christian on official government documents to preserve caste-based reservations and welfare schemes”

 

Q.4. Estimated percentage of Christians in Karnataka today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“Official census data puts the Christian population in Karnataka at 1.87% (1,142,647 people out of the total population) as per the 2011 Census of India, while alternative global church databases like the World Christian Database estimate it closer to 4%. [1, 2]

Official Census Data vs. Estimates

·         Official Census (2011): Christians account for 1.87% of Karnataka's population (about 1.14 million individuals), showing a slight decrease from 1.91% in the 2001 census. [1]

·         Alternative Databases: The World Christian Database estimates Karnataka's Christian population at around 4%, factoring in uncounted or practicing groups that may not formally register as Christian on government surveys. [1]

·         Urban Concentration: Nearly 50% of Karnataka's recorded Christian population lives in Bengaluru Urban, with another 30% located in Coastal Karnataka and Kodagu (Coorg). In Bengaluru itself, the Christian population is officially recorded around 5.61%. [1, 2]

The Crypto-Christian Factor

·         Definition: "Crypto-Christians" refer to individuals who secretly practice or adhere to Christianity while retaining Hindu (or other) religious status on official government records to preserve Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Other Backward Class (OBC) reservation and welfare benefits. [1, 2]

·         Data Availability: Unlike states like Tamil Nadu where independent analysts and media reports have debated higher unrecorded figures, there is no official or verified empirical consensus on the exact number or percentage of crypto-Christians in Karnataka.”

 

Q.5. Estimated percentage of Christians in Kerala today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“Christians make up 18.4% of Kerala's official census population, while demographic estimates and regional studies suggest the practical share ranges between 14% and 18.4%, with unofficial or "crypto-Christian" (unaffiliated or hidden adherents) estimates adding up to a few additional tenths of a percent. [1, 2]

Official Demographics vs. Estimates

·         Census Data: The 2011 Census of India recorded Christians at 18.38% (roughly 18.4%) of Kerala's population. [1, 2]

·         Recent Projections: Some demographic analysts and regional reports (such as estimates by Justice J.B. Koshy and recent birth/mortality trends) suggest the active share may have drifted closer to 14% to 15% due to lower fertility rates and higher international emigration. [1, 2, 3]

·         Crypto-Christians / Unaffiliated: Independent encyclopedias and global demographic studies (like the World Christian Encyclopedia) historically estimated unaffiliated or crypto-Christian populations in India at roughly 2% nationwide, though regional breakdowns specific to Kerala indicate that formal identification is high and covert/crypto-Christian adherence constitutes a very small, statistically minor fraction of total adherents (less than a fraction of a percent). Recent state conversion data also shows net annual shifts across all religions affecting less than 0.01% of the total population”

 

Q.6. Estimated percentage of Christians in Goa today including crypto-Christians.

Google AI Overview Reply:

“Christians make up 25.10% of Goa's population according to official census data, with no official or tracked statistical data available for "crypto-christians" (individuals who secretly practice Christianity while publicly identifying as another religion, or vice-versa). [1]

Official Demographic Breakdown in Goa

·         Christians: 25.10% (approximately 3.66 lakh or 366,130 residents) [1]

·         Hindus: 66.08% (approximately 9.63 lakh residents) [1]

·         Muslims: 8.33% (approximately 1.21 to 1.22 lakh residents) [1, 2]

·         Other / No Religion: ~0.49% [1]

Key Context

·         Historical vs. Present: During Portuguese rule and the Goa Inquisition (starting 1560), forced and mass conversions spiked the Christian population to over 80% of ethnic Goans in the early 20th century. However, due to large-scale emigration of Goan Catholics abroad and an influx of non-Christian residents from the rest of India, the Christian share dropped to 25.10% by the 2011 Census. [1, 2, 3]

·         Regional Distribution: The Christian population is unevenly distributed; it is significantly higher in South Goa (around 36%) compared to North Goa (which is roughly 76% Hindu). [1]

·         Crypto-Christians: Historical records note that the Goa Inquisition targeted "crypto-Hindus" or secret practitioners of indigenous faiths, and some colonial-era literature documented syncretic practices. However, modern demographic surveys and official censuses do not track or estimate "crypto-christians" today.”

 

In Short:

Percentage of Christians in the Southern States:

Unofficial (including Cryptos)

TAMILNADU

6.12

Here we see the changing picture in different parts of South India:

1. In Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh, Christianity is positively sweeping through both the states. In twenty years time, at the most, Tamilnadu will become a Christian majority state, and Andhra Pradesh perhaps will take a little longer.

2. In Telangana and Karnataka, the position is not so terrifying. That is, the actual percentage of Christians is definitely much more than the official figures of 2011, but they have not yet achieved a totalitarian effect. The influence of Hindu bodies in Karnataka, and of militant Islam in Telangana, are restraining factors.

3. In Kerala, we all know about the fast-growing Islamization of the state, hence here even the official figures of Christianity are taking a beating:

Census 1951

Census 1961

Census 2001

Census 2011

20.9

21.2

19

18.4

4. In Goa, as the Google reply itself points out, Goa was an almost Christian majority state in the early twentieth century, but it is a tiny state with a small population and “due to large-scale emigration of Goan Catholics abroad and an influx of non-Christian residents from the rest of India, the Christian share dropped to 25.10% by the 2011 Census.”

 

To understand exactly what is happening in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh, the lands of India’s greatest and most architecturally renowned temples, and what will happen there henceforward, we can see how the northeastern states rapidly became Christianized within a few decades of “Independent India”:

[The tiny seeming (and negligible) fall in Nagaland between 2001 and 2011 is due to immigrations from neighboring areas].

Hindus are too busy celebrating the victories of specific Political Parties and Great Leaders to have the time, honesty or interest to see what is happening on the ground.

As I have said in many articles before: in fifty years time, India will be a Muslim-majority country, with a bigger Christian minority and a smaller Hindu minority, and the Hindu minority will be divided into caste groups busy fighting each other.
