Read the life history of Yogananda, who, in 1959, entered Samadhi in NY in the presence of the coroner, Mayor and many others, leaving his body in Padmasana in a Copper casket, and the body remained in same posture for a week without any sign of decomposition, when inspected by coroner after a week. But due to mandatory requirements, the body was later buried in the same location?
None of the great saints of Hinduism die in the manner of Muhammad, who suffered of so many diseases ultimately of epilepsy, going in refuge at Ayesha's lap and breathing his last as a mortal after committing untold no. of sins, you all Pray to God to give him peace-PBUH!!
ayub mohammed
though the knowledge of you and your ancient breed through the direct hot line from the BRAHMA ,the creator in your faith ,to the sadhu,sanyasis ,who are seen as drugs-edict, beggers,unclean for years together leaving the hairs to its unlimited grouth ,who have the history of writing your scriptures and epochs of hinduism ,and do keep your faith going unchecked by the archaeology and evidences ,historical proofs regading the claim but it would never be stood to the test of the historical evidential confirmations set out by the international standerds of the education ,research and finds in the world ,,but off course u and your socalled breed of intelligentsia have not such credibility to stand before the historical questions ...like wise , claiming the lingas,(penis} as your idol of shiva in mecca with other 10 claims in the book that has been nothing but the imagination and presuption under the inferirity complex made to hold your head high before the
highers that have no place in the test of knowledge and intelligentia ,,,,,mr so called intelligent .....go a head and reply me ...if u can under the guidelinnes set out by the international norms only ,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,
here is the government of mecca held by khoza 207-440 ad
priviously i forwarded the period of vikramaditya or chndra gupta 2 who possed the power from 380-413
moreover the mecca the place of worship of idols till mohammed born in this are .
so if anybody have any evidence about the rule of vikraditya or chandragupta 2 ,plz post ...

The Kabba was once a Hindu temple, built at the time of Abraham (though he was not associated with it), shownby the plaque inside the Kabba that bore a dedication to King Vikramaditya. The text of this inscription on th gold dish hung inside the Kabba shrine inMakka, is found recorded on Page 315 of a volume known as "Sayur-Ul-Okul" treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library, Istanbul and reads:
Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during King Vikrama's reign. He was noble, generous, dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But, at that time, we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures"
Vikramaditya was ancestral grandfather of King Shalivahana, who interacted with Jesus. Historical records show that in 500AD this temple was maintained by Hindu-s.
Ayub and others, you want more proof? Let some of your Muslim friemnds in Turkey verify for themselves the references and also visit Kabba. Why are the pilgrims goin near the kabba, not allowed to wear caps and usual Muslim dress, but a Dhoti and upper piece wound like a janoi of Brahmins?
Only those dressed like Hindu-s are allowed to go and touch Shiva linga there even today!!
Why don't you go ther with your checked lungi or Jeans Nader?
When historical evidences are provided, your reaction would be negation and abuses, the usual character of Muslims, I am not surprised? You cannot participate in any intelligent interaction with valid data and references!!

dear shadi
it is the time to face the real threat of the anti-muslim and
anti-islam forces after 9/11 equations that made every human to
associate to the war on terror camp leading by the gb and its
alliances in the world which is slowly falling under the control of u
s and its forces including the rich resouceful region unfortunately it
has the islamic or muslim states that have the grudge and enimity
since the days of abraham and the joshua. if the resouceful region
gulf ,is not under the influence of islam ,there too the occupation of
u s forces could occupy the region as a fact of the history of the
capitalism and its imperialist nature in economics .but the gb is in
the way to woo the christian fundamentals and zionists occupied in the
white house and policy making centres in the u s ans allied forces
including india and pakistan.
as we all know that the idolatory was in practice before emergence of
islam and the birth of prophet mohammed .after winning the place in
war against infidels there the mecca was gained the ground for the
holy place for muslims . the history of the holy shrine was
eshtablished by the abraham for the first time .and continuing with
some modifications in accodence with quran and the practices of
prophet mohammed .
the claim was first made during the vikrama ditya dynasty who has been
limited to his jurisdictions only and could not eshtablished the
claims on archeaological evidences and any other contemporaries .and
does not have any concrete evidences that the shiva idol is in the
kaba . but it was the practive of egyptians whose worship were very
similar to the indian worshippings of the natural gods ,like
pigs,dogs.snakes, cows.lizards. rabbits ,in this same way the egyptian
gods idol have been there in the place which is claiming that their
lord shive was in the mecca and the muslims are in idlatory of the
linga ..so here all i comapare every human have similier limbs and
features by physique .should any woman claim all humans as her
husbands and lovers ....how strange the claim is ....any claim should
be based on archaeological evidence and other findings with proofs
.that they never produce ...it is not new here to claim the content i
saw in the hindu sites tooo ......
i have also given the proof that it is not the place u want to claim
,,with all evidences in detailed manner that could be convinced every
reasonable human being in the group ,,
moreover ,,the war on the terror is going to loose the grounds in iraq
and that compelling the u s to rethink the policy on iraq ..for its
survival in the eye of the internations jusrtifications ...
i do not loose my cool and ground on the growing strength of
anti-muslim and anti-islam forces in the world ,because we have such
history of winning the war on the spirit of winning ground in the
battle field not on the basis of the strength ..on ther words
qualitative forces that always have the right of winning the wars as
the world history and the islamic history preached the greatness of
the good and bad .so that i would never be lost the war either in
arguement or in the war ,,,because islam is the warriors religion that
have been in wars constantly since its emergence in the world .and
keep going till its victory over the bad ,ill and injustice .
personally i do not like to angage in this verbal war that they have
not set any limitations and parameters to follow in the arguement they
put forward for claiming the hinduism is a super religion in the world
,..this hinduism have more hindu enemies than the muslims
proportionaly .in side and the out side ..
but very sad to see these people how they go down to the level that
they could not see how do they look in the group and in the society in
the weakest way of offense as they does not have such guts and
capacity to stay on the strong base of the roots of the hinduism
..against the islam and muslims, as i have such equal claim over their
relegion ..
i hope u and all members do understand what is the base and what is
the roots of the faith of every one who keep an eye on every postings
of mine and my fellow members on religious issues ..
thank u mr shadi
