SubjectDiscussion of the presence of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as the Hindu avatar of Kalki in the Hindu scriptures (Kalki Purana, Vedas and Bhavashi Purana, etc.)
PublisherSaraswat Vedanta Prakash Sangha
Publication date
between 1966-70

Upadhyay's most notable work was Kalki Avatar and Muhammad[17][18] which was published in 1969 by Saraswat Vedanta Prakash Sangghha of Allahabad.[19][20][21] The book is thought to be a partial adaption of the book Muhammad in World Scriptures (originally "Mithaq an-Nabiyeen", covenant of the prophets) by Ahmadiya scholar Abdul Haq Vidyarthi. Originally written in Hindi language, in this book, he discussed his claim of the mention of Islamic prophet Muhammad as the Hindu avatar of Kalki in the Hindu scriptures (Kalki Purana, Vedas and Bhavishya Purana, etc.).[22][23][24] After publication, the book became very popular in India.[25] Bengali scholar Asitkumar Bandyopadhyay translated the book into Bengali language along with Upadhyay's other two books 'Narashangsa and the Antim Rishi" and "Religious Unity in the Light of the Vedas and the Puranas" and combined it in one edition in the same name.[26] The book was later also translated into English by several translators entitling Muhammad in the Hindu scriptures and Muhammad in the Vedas and the Puranas, which gave the book immense popularity outside India.[27] Besides popularity, the book was also criticized by many Hindu and Muslim bodies, describing the book as wrong explanation of Hindu scriptures by many Hindu scholars and as exclusion of Hinduism and Hindu scriptures from people of the Book and devine books by some Islamic scholars, whereas both of the sectors claimed the subjects of the book as later interpolations in Hindu scriptures.[28][29]

Claimed analogies

change

Ved prakash claimed in the book that the age of Kali Yuga refers to the Islamic Golden Age and the present time is Anu Yuga or the time of Atomic energy. Some of the claimed similarities between Kalki and Muhammad shown on the book along with other two books of the trilogy are:[30][31]

  • The most highlighted of the points was that, name of Kalki will be Narashangsha (Sanskrit: नराशंस), mentioned in Book 20, Hymn 127 of Atharvaveda and others, which means praised human, the meaning of the name Muhammad is also praised man.[30] The name of the Kalki will also be Ileet, which also means praised human.[32]
  • Kalki's name will be Ahamiddhi, Muhammad's another name was Ahmad.[33]
  • Kalki has been mentioned as Savitridev whose all characteristics mentioned are matched with Muhammad.[34]
  • Kalki will be born on 12th day of Madhav month, the first month of the hindu lunar year and the first month of summer, Muhammad similarly born on the 12th day on Rabiul Awal, the third month of the Arabic lunar year but astrologically the time was summer season according to solar time.[34]
  • Kalki will born on Shambhala village or island ("which is also described as the birthplace of Maitreya, the last buddha prophcised by Gautama Buddha, whom the writer also claimed to be Muhammad in his 2nd book "Narashangsha and Antim Rishi"), which means place/house of peace and a land beside water or sea, it also means Arab and Asia minor according to the world map division of Hindu religion, Makkah is Muhammad's birth place which is also beside sea and it is in Arab and Asia minor and its another name is Darul Aman, which means the place/house of peace.[35]
  • Kalki's father's and Mother's name will be Vishnu-yash/Vishnu-bhagawat and Sumati/Soumyavati, which means slave of God and peaceful lady. Muhammad's father's and mother's name are Abdullah and Amina, which also mean slave of God and peaceful lady.[34]
  • Kalki will be born of the family of the main priest of Shambhala, Muhammad was also born of the family of Abdul Muttalib, the main priest of then the Makkah.[34]
  • Kalki will not suckle his mother's milk, Muhammad also deprived of his mother's milk, instead of that, he drank his foster-mother Halima's breast milk.[34]
  • Kalki will be impressively handsome (Anupama Kanti) and incomparably beautiful (Apratim Dyuti), Muhammad was also known to be handsome and impressive and had been described as the most beautiful man of contemporary Arabia.[34]
  • Kalki will go to hillside after birth and receive messages from a mount from Parshurama (spirit of Raam or God, verbally Raam means God of the World) and then he will be Kaurava (migrator from homeland) and will go to north and after that he will return, Muhammad also received messages from God through Jibrail in mount Jabal al-Nour, and another name of Jibrail is Ruhul-Amin and Ruhul-Quddus which means spirit of God, and he also migrated to Madina in north of the Makkah and after that returned to Makkah again with victory.[34]
  • Kalki will have eight divine virtues (Ashtaishwaryaguna): Wisedom, born of noble family, self-control, remembrance (heard from God), physically powerful, less speechful, charitable, advisor of Gods verses and gratefulness. Muhammad also had these eight virtues.[34]
  • Kalki will ride on camel, Muhammad also rode on camel.[34]
  • Kalki will travel heaven by devine chariot Ratha, Muhammad also travelled heaven by Buraq in Miraj.[34]
  • Kalki will ride on miraculous flying white horse named Devadatta Shetashwa (meaning: white horse given by God) given by Shiva to destroy the evil, Muhammad also rode a miraculous flying white horse named Buraq given by Allah and destroyed evil.[34]
  • Kalki will fight with Khaksha means sword, Muhammad also used to fight with sword.[34]
  • Kalki will engage in war, Muhammad was also engaged in war.[34]
  • Gods will directly help Kalki in war, Muhammad was also helped by the angels in the battle of Badr.[34]
  • Kalki will defeat demon kali with the help of his four brothers, Muhammad also defeated Satan by the help of his major four closest companions, later known as Rashidun Caliph.[34]
  • Kalki will destroy the robbers as hidden as Kings, Muhammad also destroyed the oppressors who were kings and leaders at that time.[34]
  • Kalki will be colloequally a Rudra of long hair and shaven head, an earcher and a mount-climber and mount-meditator, Muhammad also had long hair in common and shaven head during Hajj and Umrah, he also used bow and arrow, he was a mount climber and a mount-meditator.[34]
  • Fregrance will come out from Kalki's body, Muhammad's body odour was also renowned for charming fragrance.[34]
  • Kalki will be meat-eater and omnivorous, Muhammad was also meat eater and omnivorous.[34]
  • Kalki will be adviser of a very big society, Muhammad was also an adviser of a big society.[34]
  • Kalki will have several wives, Muhammad also had several wives.[36]
  • Kalki's name will be sage Mamoho/Mamaha[37] and he will be given 100 gold coins, 10 necklace, 300 fighter horse and 10,000 peaceful cow, Muhammad's 100 follower was devoted self-purifier, known as Ashab-i Suffa, 10 was given good news of heaven, known as Ashara-i Mubashsharah, 300 follower was Badr fighter, who fought victoriously against 1000 enemies, and 10,000 was the number of his muslim companian in the time of victory of Makkah.[35]
  • Kalki's followers will be known as Musalays (Muslims)[35]
  • Kalki's followers will be omnivorous[35]
  • Kalki's followers will be circumcised
  • Kalki's followers will have beards and call people for the prayer (Adhan)[35]
  • Kalki will banish idolatry, Muhammad also banished idolatry.[35]

The author claimed, in dashavatar, the scripturally mentioned Buddha Avatar was finally found as Gautama Buddha from Buddhism and later included in Hinduism, similarly Hindu followers should include Muhammad as Kalki Avatar after reading this book, and should follow him instead of waiting for him to come.[38]

Hindu views

change

The content of the book is mainly a discussion of the claim that Kalki Avatar is Muhammad and the presence of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in Hindu scriptures. For this reason, Kalki Purana, Bhavishya Purana, Bhagavata Purana, Vedas etc. have been chosen as sources of Hindu scriptures. Hindu scholars criticize and oppose all these claims. An Indian organization 'Agniveer' criticized all these claims. In addition, the book "Ovranto Boidik Shastrer Alokey Kolki Obotar" (অভ্রান্ত বৈদিক শাস্ত্রের আলোকে কল্কি অবতার, Kalki Avatar in the Light of Inerrant Vedic Scriptures) (2019), and the January-March version of Amriter Sandhane magazine, both published by Bangladeshi wing of Back to Godhead, criticizes the claimed resemblance to Kalki Avatar.[39][40] But in the October-December 2016 edition of Amriter shandhane, the Bangladeshi wing of Back to Godhead claimed the mention of Muhammad in Bhavishya Purana and hymn 127, book 20 of Atharvaveda in support of authenticity of vedic scriptures, which similared to the claim of the book.[41] Hindu spiritual leader Ravi Shankar claimed in his book "Hinduism and Islam: The Common Thread" that Muhammad is explicitly mentioned as the name "Mahamada" (Sanskrit: महामद) in Parva 3, Khand 3, Adhyay 3, texts 5-6 (Episode 3, section 3, chapter 3, text 5-6) of Bhavishya Purana: "An illiterate teacher will appear, Mohammed is his name, and he will give religion to the people of the desert", which also resembles the book.[42][43]

Among all the similarities shown in the book with Kalki from the Kalki Purana, behavioral similarities are notable. For example: Muhammad is the last prophet of Islam with the last arrival of Kalki; Similarities of Muhammad's battles at various times with Kalki fighting on a white horse and sword, etc.[44] Critics cite Muhammad's contrasts with Kalki against such similarities.[45] Again in the book it is said that there are similarities in various matters even applying the literal meaning. Critics consider such literal application of the similarity of characters to be misleading and a misapplication of meaning.

It also contains critical comments on Mughal history (the texts refer to them as "Mukuls") and mentions a "Mahamad". Critics point out that the "Mahamed" described in the Bhavishya Purana is a "mlechcha" (foreigner, barbarian) and is the "Daitya" or "ghost" called Tripurasura' who is reborn.,[46] And the word "Muslim" has been said to mean a destroyer of religion.[47] AK Ramanujan mentions Christ, Moses and Queen Victoria in a "properly updated Bhavisya Purana".[48] Regarding "Pratisargaparva" Hazra says: Although it belongs to "Bhavishya Purana" (Ik.1.2-3), "Pratisargaparva" refers to Adam, Noah, Yakuta, Timurlong, Nadirshah, Akbar (Delishwar), Jayachandra and many others. The book also mentions British rule in India, even mentioning Calcutta and Parliament.[49]

The book also claims that the Vedas contain prophecies of Muhammad. For example, in the Atharvaveda Kuntapa Sukta, 'Narasamsha', which is used for any praised person, the word Muhammad means praise, and the Sukta is claimed to describe Muhammad's prophecy. The sukta appears to refer to a justly praised king (Indra), although no Muhammadan association with them is found.[50] Certain verses of the mantra are precisely identified and their semantic similarities are shown in order to create the context, mainly to prove Muhammad's prophecies. Critics see such spending as ulterior motives.

Hindu scholars dispute the book's claims. A criticism of the claimed resemblance to Kalki Avatar is found in the book “"Ovranto Boidik Shastrer Alokey Kolki Obotar" (অভ্রান্ত বৈদিক শাস্ত্রের আলোকে কল্কি অবতার, Kalki Avatar in the Light of Inerrant Vedic Scriptures)” published by Amriter Sandhane Prakashani. Indian organizations like Agniveer also criticized these claims.[47][51] Criticism states,

  • There are many differences in the behavioral characteristics of both. Moreover, even if there is a similarity in meaning, the two characters may not be the same.[45]
  • In Hinduism, Kalkideva is seen as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.[52] He cannot be human.[45]: page:14 
  • According to Hindu belief, Kalkideva will arrive at the end of Kali Yuga. That is after another 4,27,000 years.[52][53] Kalki cannot appear at any time in the past.[45]: p:19 
  • Kalki's father's name 'Vishnuyash' means 'Yash like Vishnu' and mother's name 'Sumati' means 'Subuddhi'.[54][55] but it is not seen in the case of Kalki.[45]: p:38-39, 67 
  • The book compares Kalki's birthplace Shambhala with the place Mecca which etymologically means 'place of peace'. Whereas the word Shambhal (Shambhu + Aloy) literally means 'abode of welfare'. On the other hand, the literal meaning of the word Makkah is not clearly known.[56]
  • According to the description of Kalki Purana, the village of Shambal will be a place full of rivers, mountains, kunjshovit, rich nature and forests with six seasons. A desert region without forests and rivers would not be Shambalgram. In addition, Hindus consider Sambhal village in Uttar Pradesh, India to be the village mentioned in the Puranas.[45]
  • Kalki was born on the twelfth tithi of Shuklapaksha of the month of Madhava (magha according to the lunar month) which is the 27th of the lunar month (15 days + 12 days of Krishna Paksha). On the other hand, there is a difference of opinion in the Muslim community regarding the date of birth of Muhammad.।[45]: pp. 57-59 [57]
  • According to the Puranas Kalki will be the fourth child of the parents.[58] But this is not the case with Muhammad.
  • Kalki's 'two' wives were 'Padma' and 'Rambha'. Padma would be a princess of Sinhalese (present-day Sri Lanka).[59] does not resemble the claimed character.[45]: p:45-47 

Indian Hindu organisation Agniveer also judjed the book by the academic works of western scholars on Hinduism. According to the organisation, the book presents the story of Abrahamic Adam and Eve, Noah, described in the Pratisarga episode of Bhavisya Purana. According to scholars, the 'Pratisargaparva' portion of the Bhavishya Purana is considered a projected addition of the eighteenth or nineteenth century.[60][61][62] Moriz Winternitz says that the texts which have come down to us under the title Bhavisya Purana, are undoubtedly not the ancient works of the original Bhavisya Purana quoted in the "Apastambiya Dharmasutra".[63][64] As Gustav Glaser has shown, the surviving manuscripts of the Bhavisya Purana are neither ancient nor medieval versions of the original Bhavisya Purana. The author of this episode is believed to know both the English Bible and Arabic Islamic texts, but many of the words used here are derived from Arabic words and names, not from English sources.

The presence of Arabic words suggests that the corresponding portion of Bhavisya Purana was written well after the fourteenth century and must have been composed after the rise of the Mughal Empire and the availability of Arabic sources in India.[65] This episode has therefore led many scholars to question the acceptability of the "Bhavishya Puranas" and that these Puranas are not accepted as authentic scriptures.[66][60] In this Purana there are more uses of such words including ``Sante (from Sunday), ``Farbari (from February), ``Sixty (from Sixty).[67]

In the book "Satyarth Prakash", Dayanad Saraswati also rejected the claim of the mention of Muhammad in Atharvaveda, and he criticised the mention of Muhammad in Allopanishad calling it as a later fabrication to please Akbar.[68]

The Bangladeshi wing of the organisation Agniveer extremely critisised the concepts of the book and the writer and they claimed that the writer doesn't exist in reality because his academic records are not found anywhere in Bengali.[69][70]

Muslim views

change

Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik deliderately mentioned extensive references from this book in his various writings.[71]

Pakistani former high comissioner Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi discussed the book in his writing.[17] Besides renowned international writers like Ali Unal,[34] Shams Naved Usmani,[72] Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood[73] and Danial Zainal Abidin,[35] Ali Goma,[74] Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri,[75] Sami Amri,[76] Nihat Hatipoğlu[77] etc. discussed and praised the book. Also there are many incidents of conversion from Hinduism to Islam happened by reading this book.[78]

Ziaur Rahman Azmi in his book "Dirasat fil Yahudiyat wal Masihiyat Wal Adianil Hind" (دراست في اليوديه والمسيحيه واديان الحند, Studies on Judaism, Christianity and Indian Religions) stated that, although most of the mainstream Muslim scholars do not regard Hindu scriptures as divine scriptures revealed from God rather than man-made Aryan literature, there may be three reasons behind the "possible" inclusion of Islamic prophecies in Hinduism. First one is, the period of the Indo-Aryan Migration was during the time of Prophet Abraham, during which another prophet may have come to India, under whose direction these prophecies are included. Or what many Hindus say, Rigveda is copied from Torah. Another view is that, according to Sultan Mubin, professor of Sanskrit at Shibli National College, Azamgarh, they are fabrications and later Hindu additions, incorporated by Hindus to please Muslim rulers, such as the Kalki Purana and the Bhavishya Purana, which contain many prophecies on Islamic matters. Azmi argues in support of this view that most of the Hindu scriptures were translated into Arabic in Bayt Al-Hiqmah during the reign of the Caliph Mamun bin al-Rashid, but even then, no author of that time mentioned anything of these prophecies in any of these books. For example, India by al-Biruni ("Tahqeeq ma lilhind min qaqulat mayqulat fi aliakal au marjula", رحقب ما للهند من مقولة مقولة في العقل او مرذولة) and the Arabic translations of two other Hindu scriptures. Regarding the translations, none of which said anything about these prophecies. Azmi himself supported the third view. Azmi Also said that, some Hindus including the founder of Arya Samaj Dayananda Saraswati and his followers also consider these to be fabrications. Besides, regarding the author of the book, Ved Prakash Upadhyay, Azmi said that although he claimed the verification of these prophecies in this book, he himself did not convert to Islam.[79][80]

Bangladeshi Islamic scholar Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria, who has conducted advanced research and studies on Hinduism at the Islamic University of Madinah in Saudi Arabia, said about the book in his book Hinduism wa tasur bad al firaq al islamiat biha (Hinduism and some Islamic groups influenced by it) that, "There is a section for this Purana (Bhavishya Purana) called Kalki Purana, which touched upon Kalki Avatar, (Avatar that comes in the Kali time, or the last time) and what came in this Purana was the reality of Muhammad only, when one of their scholars (Ved Prakash Upaddhay) admitted that there is no Kalki Avatar except Muhammad and he mentioned evidence for that from this book, and claimed that it only applies to it, except that the Hindus differed in accepting this part of the book, and they said that it was plagiarized and it was developed by the later and it was included in the book at a very late time."[81] Zakaria also criticized the book, saying that Narasangsha is described in verse 127 of the 20th volume of the Atharveda as Kalki which is not the main body of the Atharvaveda, he said that it is an anticipatory portion (Prakshipta Angsha or later interpolation) and subsequent connections, and claimed that prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad in Hindu scriptures were used by Hindus to make their scriptures acceptable to Muslims, which is a clever attempt, beginning with Akbar's reign to flatter Emperor Akbar by writing the Allopanishad, he claims that the Bhavishya Purana is completely fabricated and man-made with Hindu references. He says that Hinduism has a habit of adding everything in it's religion they got outside in the name of their own religion fabricatedly to attract people to come into their religion, this is also a result of that. In addition, all Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, are claimed to be adaptations of the beliefs of the migrated Japhethite Aryans (Zoroastrians and Rigvedians), indigenous Hemite Dravidians, and other Indo-Europian classical mythologies along with the influence of monotheism taken from Avestan concept of Ahura Mazda influenced by the geographically adjacent Arabian Semitic people, and says that since the Hindu texts do not "truely" contain the original Abrahamic monotheism of God or Allah, it is in neither consistent with the original tenets of Islam, nor these are original divine books, rather the pagan Advaita Vedanta philosophy, which developed the concept of Wahdat al-Wujud or Sufism in the name of Islam, arose. And as Hinduism established itself as an absorbing, inclusive, conformist and syncretistic doctrine from the Islamic point of view, as it has no spacific Aqida or Creed, according to Mahatma Gandhi, he claimed that, all Hindu scriptures are not inspired but man-made Aryan literature and the theory that this book attributed Kalki to Muhammad was a false and deceitful attempt.[81][82][83]

    Man is too insignificant before the gigantic creation. He finds himself surrounded by a world, which is too difficult to comprehend with his tiny intelligence. However, everybody's presence in this world has a definite purpose and his knowledge provides him direction for achieving this goal.

    Although, this Ancient Science had been described in great detail by the past masters, but majority of the present generation does not have the knowledge about its fundamentals.

    The world renowned Vaastu Consultant Pt. Gopal Sharma and the celebrity astrologer Dr. Sewa Ram Jaipura have done a great job in giving clear insight to the common man, for understanding and applying various Vedic sciences. Their commendable consistent efforts for last many decades has resulted in the publication of numerous best selling books in Astrology, Numerology, Feng Shui, Vaastu Shastra, Pyramidology & Gem Therapy.

    In the same series, this book on Loshu Grid, presents the ancient knowledge in a simple, practical and scientific manner. It is the finest tool to explain and teach you the following:

    Draw a Loshu Chart and interpret it accurately.

    - Discover future trends in your life, by looking at your personal years

    Know your compatibility with other people, using an easy to use technique.

    Find easy to use solution for numbers, missing in your date

    of birth. - Determine, whether you have an arrow of strength or

    weakness in your chart and ways to deal with it.

    Time dimension theory revolves around numbers and reflects the basic fundamentals of Lo-shu Grid and Trigrams. The main tool in the formulation and understanding of this theory is the original Lo-Shu Square. In this square, the numbers One to Nine are arranged around the Nine Squares of the Lo-Shu Grid in such a way that any three numbers add up to fifteen in any direction whether calculated horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The number 15 express the number of days it takes for a moon's full waxing or waning cycle. The numbers also have meanings in accordance to the corresponding trigram.

    The given trigrams of Kan, Kun, Chen, Sun, Chien, Tui, Ken, Li are readily used to energize the various life aspirations, according to Lo-Shu grid. The interpretation and meanings of thenumerals and combination of numerals are alsoamazing.

    I would like to sincerely appreciate the hardwork done by the learned Authors, who have dedicated their lives in spreading the hidden knowledge of various ancient holistic sciences, to the society.
