HINDUS HAVE applauded Pope Benedict for including verse from ancient Hindu scripture Upanishads in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers led by him at Roman Colosseum.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was a remarkable gesture from Pope and invited him to study more ancient Hindu scriptures, which were very rich in philosophical thought. He or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide the help and resources in this regard, if asked, Zed added.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, also commended His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for inclusion of a verse from India’s Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali and reference to peace icon Mahatma Gandhi in these prayers.
This year’s 'Way of the Cross at the Colesseum' Meditations and Prayers on Good Friday, led by Pope, included well-known verse from Brahadaranyakopanishad (“Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from death to immortality”), line from Tagore’s Gitanjali (“Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service”) and reference to Mahatma Gandhi.
Rajan Zed stressed that all religions should work together for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring us mutual enrichment, he added.
Pope Benedict heads the Roman Catholic Church, which is the largest of the Christian denominations. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.
An article from 2007 ?
LOL
It’s a false premise to say an upside-down cross is ALWAYS used in a Satanic manner. The truth doesn’t always conform to one’s assumptions.
Please tell me you don’t believe that the Catholic Church uses an upside-down cross as its primary symbol.
If you believe St. Iranaeus and the other church fathers, then why are you condemning the Church that they were part of?
Why not?
The Roman Catholics always brag about 2000 years of supposedly uninterrupted tradition, what’s 4 years?
I gather you’re using coloring books and crayons but I did hear there was a big UFO Convention coming up that ties in with the Illuminati.
Sensors on hicks and illiterate google translator, beam me up Scottie.
“The Roman Catholics always brag about 2000 years of supposedly uninterrupted tradition, what’s 4 years?”
Posting 4 yr old articles is fun. Trix are for kids. But, I don’t really see boasts about Christ’s Church of 2000 years. In fact you are invited to come into the Fullness of Christ’s Gospel message.
...lol...
there ought to be clowns ...lol
I am answering my ping from you, dear Judith Anne and all I can say is what I’ve always said to you, metmom and other FRiends is that I stay far away from these threads because I find them hateful at times and almost always ugly. I don’t see any value in arguing religion against religion, when we all worship the very same Lord and Savior. I prefer to spend my time in other pursuits and please know I pray for all of you.
Hugs and Prayers always.
Thanks thanks.
However, I think God for everyone who challenges and even pushes me more toward more conformity with the Character of Christ—even if that includes their poking me with sharp sticks deliberately.
CORRECTION
Thanks thanks.
That’s a Great wise Biblical words and perspective.

Sorry.
I’m not sure who “this guy” is that you’re referring to.

What do you rate the chances of WWIII festivities to get kicked off in the next 4 months?

But you can bet it will be very colorful. But if you get too colorful, it’s hard hiding what lies inside.
Beware of the 30,000 Ooompa Loompa’s.
