Prophet in Hindu Scriptures – Bhavishya Puran (Part 2)

Dr Naik provides a very detailed analysis of verses ofBhavishya Puran along with references. The only mistake hemade was that he presented a completely opposite picture ofProphet Muhammad (pbuh) compared to what BhavishyaPuran actually writes. (Refer http://www.irf.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=201&Itemid=131)

http://bhavishyapuran.blogspot.com/ provides an excellentanalysis of the relevant portions of Bhavishya Puran withscans of original texts and dictionary meanings of the keywords.

In summary, the actual meaning of the verses is as follows:

“Shri Suta Goswami said that a demon called Tripurasur who was earlier burnt to ashes by Shiva has taken birthagain in form of Mahamada (Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of an evil ghost. The ghost was rebuked byKalidas as “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest…”

Further, the ghost called Mahamada comes in dream of King Bhoja and says,

“O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish aterrible and demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be that theyfirst of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eateverything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will performpurificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will beknown as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me.”

It is amply clear that contrary to Dr Naik’s claims, Mahamada (Muhammad) is being condemned here as ademon and not as a spiritual person. Far from being a Kalki Avatar, Muhammad is being foretold as a devilharbinger of nuisance!

Having analyzed the verses, let us analyze a few more points regarding Bhavishya Puran:

1. Bhavishya Puran is not considered an authoritative religious scripture. It is amply clear that the bookcontinued to be written till late 19th century. Because it also contains stories of Jesus Christ, Akbar, SawaiJai Singh, Alha Udal, Tulsidas, Surdas, Guru Nanak, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb, Shivaji and even QueenVictoria and her Parliament. Bulk of the material seems to be written during foreign rule. Thus, BhavishyaPuran does not even come in category of evidence, when it comes to Hindu religion. It is at best a frivolousnon-serious text.

2. If one takes Bhavishya Puran seriously, it implies that he believes that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was adevil and reincarnation of demon called Tripurasur. This is a great insult to founder of Islam. To best ofour knowledge, if one insults the Prophet in guise of a Muslim preacher promoting Islam, Shariah lawsrecommend death sentence for such a person.

3. Also, if Dr Naik has so much trust on Bhavishya Puran and considers the book so prophetic, why does henot admit other advices of the book – the fastings on specific days and their benefits, worship of differentidols, avoidance of meat, celibacy, shraadh, prohibition of marriage among close relatives, agnihotra, holyplaces, cow protection etc. And accordingly, he should refuse to believe in those verses of Quran which areagainst the precepts of Bhavishya Puran.

In the next part of the series, we shall critically examine the claim of Prophet Muhammad in Vedas.

Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the dynasty of king Shalivahana, there were ten kings who wentto the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500 years. Then gradually the moralitydeclined on the earth. At that time Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. Whenhe saw that the moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions ofhis country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He crossed the riverSindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas, shakas, kasmiris, naravas andsathas. He punished them and collected a large ammount of wealth. Then the king wentalong with Mahamada (Muhammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followersto the great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with Gangeswater and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow dung,and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. After he offered some prayers and pleased him.

Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the placecalled Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terriblecountry there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasura), whom I havealready burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benedictionfrom me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, youshould not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the kingcame back to his country and Mahamada(Muhammad) came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He wasexpert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O great king, your god has become myservant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this justbefore them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada(Muhammad) “O rascal, you have created an illusion tobewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest…”

The 4 VedasComplete (English)

That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form ofa ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada(Muhammad) appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja andsaid: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish a terribleand demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of all will cuttheir genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat everything. They shouldeat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala ora pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the corrupters ofreligion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back to hispalace and that ghost(Muhammad) went back to his place.

The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the language of Sanskrit in three varnas – the brahmanas, kshatriyasand vaisyas – and for the shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by commonmen. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet. The moral laws established by himwere honored even by the demigods. The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala andHimacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans reside there, but varna-sankaras resideon the lower part of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu.

On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of Isamsiha were also situated as they weremanaged by a king or demigods.

Note This

Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahikaand now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There wasa mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasur), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the orderof Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and hisdeeds are like that of a ghost.

According to Bhavishya Purana Muhammad was the rebirth of Tripurasura the Demon.

Tripurasura was killed by Shiva in his(Tripurasura’s) past life.

Tripurasura’s Past life (Mythology[not from bhavishya purana])

source(http://www.ashtavinayaktemples.com/temple.asp?serialno=3&tempid=T009)

Tripurasur was the son of Sage Gritsamad. One day the sage sneezed and from this was created a young boywho the Sage brought up as his own son. The sage taught the boy the Ganana Twam, Ganesh Mantra. Equippedwith this mantra the boy meditated intensely on Lord Ganesh who ultimately blessed him. He was given threepura-s of gold silver and iron. Since he was the owner of these three pura-s he was given the name Tripur.Ganesh also bestowed on Tripur to be the most powerful, who none but Lord Shiva himself could destroy andafter being destroyed by Lord Shiva he would attain mukti-salvation.

This boon made Tripur proud and he brought havoc in the entire world. He conquered the Nether world and thenproceeded to takeover Heaven. He defeated Indra the king of heaven. His aggression made Lord Brahma hide ina lotus and Lord Vishnu in the Shirsagar. He soon also took over Lord Shiva’s Kailash Parvat and thus becamethe King of all the three worlds. The gods wondered on how to vanquish Tripurasur. Lord Narada told them that,since he had been granted a boon by Lord Ganesh himself it would be very difficult to vanquish him. He advisedthem to meditate on Lord Ganesh. Pleased Lord Ganesh decided to help the Gods.

Disguised as brahmin he visited Tripurasur and told him that he was a very enlightened Brahmin and could makefor him three flying planes. Riding these he woud be able to go anywhere he wished within minutes. The planescould only be destroyed by Shiva.In return Lord Ganesh asked him to get him the statue of Chintamani which wasat the Kailash Mountain. Lord Shiva refused to give the statue to Tripurasur’s messenger. The angry Tripurasurhimself went to get the statue. A fierce battle started between him and Lord Shiva. He destroyed everything thatbelonged to the Lord Shiva who too retired to the Girikandar.

Lord Shiva too realized that he was unable to destroy Tripurasur because he had not paid his respects to LordGanesh. He recited the Shadaakshar Mantra to invoke Ganesh. On doing so from his mouth emerged Gajanan togrant Shiva a boon. Shiva continued his invocation of Ganesh who ultimately directed him on how Tripurasurcould be killed. Lord Shiva was asked to recite the Sahastranam and then direct an arrow at the three pura-s ofTripurasur.

Lord Shiva followed these instructions and finally vanquished Tripurasur.

The place where Lord Shiva invoked Lord Ganesh he also created a temple for him. The town surrounding thistemple was called Manipur. The village Ranjangaon is considered to be the place where Lord Shiva himselfsought the blessings of Ganesh and ultimately destroyed Tripurasur.

This prayer (chalisa) praises the Lord Shiva (Related to Tripurasura killing)

Tripurasur sang yuddha machayi,

sabahin kripa kari leen bachayi.

By fighting and killing the Demon Tripurasur,

You forgave everybody and saved the Gods.

In the next part of the series, we shall critically examine the claim of Prophet Muhammad in Vedas. Again wewould find that Zakir Naik is insulting both Prophet and Vedas to serve his dubious and shameful agenda.
