Re: Re: Holy Mother's Limitless Compassion

Namaste Ankur Ji,

Yes, it is very true, what you have written, concerning Mother's
inate ability of discriminating between the real and the unreal,
the good and the bad, and the many variations thereof.

In addition, Sri Fhanindra's advice on this matter is very valuable.

We may also find admonishings in the New Testament of the Christians,
advising not to cast one's pearls to swine.

Speaking about Christians, I have just read a very interesting story about
a group of Jews, in your part of India, that were converted to
Christianity by the British, and are now being allowed to immigrate
to the Republic of Israel.

This news article, in 'the Hindu', will be found @ URL:

Here os a brief quote from the above:

'Lost Tribe' of Jews migrates to Israel


Guwahati, Nov. 19 (AP): Around 200 people of Jewish ancestry in India's remote northeast who claim links to a lost tribe of Israel have returned to the ``promised land'' of their forefathers.

Community leaders said on Saturday that the 218 people who migrated to Israel were part of the nearly 6,000 members of the Bnei Menashe tribe in India's Mizoram state who trace their lineage as the descendants of ancient Israelites or one of the Biblical 10 lost tribes.

Bnei Menashe members believe they are descendants of Jews who were banished from biblical Israel by the Assyrians in the 8th century B.C. and gradually worked their way eastward to India. In the 19th century, British missionaries to India converted the Bnei Menashe members, who were then animists, to Christianity.


I was aware of ancient Jewish communities on the Malabar Coast of India,
but had never heard of any such groupings, so far away in the north east of the country.

This is just another example of Old Mother India, being always full of surprises.

Om Shanthi Om

Thank you, respected web admin. India indeed is full of surprises. This year Holy Mother's birthday falls on 11th December. Looking forward to it.
