Talk:Rabi Maharaj
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rabid Missionary and anti-Hindu polemicist
There is no mention of his desecration of Hindu scripture and his many defamatory attacks on Indians and Hindus. This man is a racist, vandal, missionary and evalengical propagandist. This article is a sick joke!Netaji 02:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A college student's response
Dear Netaji, On what grounds do you base your arguments? Have you ever met Rabi Maharaj, read his book, or heard him speak? You called him the following names:
"racist" "vandal" "missionary" "evangelical propagandist"
I have heard Maharaj speak on more than one occassion, I have read his book, and I have heard many stories from people who know Maharaj personally. Therefore I can respond accordingly:
"racist" -- Maharaj is himself a colored man. Against whom is he a racist? If it is against fellow Indians, you are mistaken; Maharaj makes frequent trips to India to care for the Dalits. He has traveled to leper colonies to serve the sick there. He has humbly eaten in poor village homes. He has brought suitcases full of medical supplies to the untouchables of India, whom Hindus themselves have shunned. And if you think Maharaj is racist against blacks, than you are also mistaken, because some of Rabi's best friends are blacks. So I am curious to know what you meant here.
"vandal" -- According to my dictionary, a vandal is “someone who maliciously and deliberately defaces or destroys somebody else’s property”. Who’s property has Maharaj destroyed? Yours? If so, please tell me the story. But Maharaj has always been known to be a man of great integrity. I have never known him to harm anyone or their posessions.
"missionary" -- What crime is it to be a missionary? What crime is it to go into other countries to do social or medical work because of one's faith in someone greater than man?
"evangelical propagandist" -- If by evangelical propagandist you mean to state that Maharaj shares his faith with others, then you are entirely correct. This is what Maharaj enjoys doing best. He is a man with an incredible faith in God, and since he believes his faith to be Truth, it would be utterly selfish if he were to keep the source of his hope and joy a secret from the world.
Netaji, your comments were not backed up with any reasons for calling Rabi Maharaj such strong names. It seems like your anger against Rabi is not against him, but against anyone who claims to know and love Christ.
