The Satanic Verses of Bhagavad-gita By KEDAR JOSHI
The purpose of this work is to show that the message of Bhagavad-gita – the
sacred scripture of Hinduism – is inherently satanic; and that Bhagavad-gita is
"Hindu terrorism".
Bhagavad-gita2, also known as G?topanishad or simply “Gita”, is the essence of
Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upanishads in Vedic
literature3.4 It is revered as a sacred scripture of Hinduism, and considered as one
of the most important philosophical classics of the world.5 The content of the
Gita is the conversation between Krishna – who is claimed to be God in human
form – and Arjuna – who is regarded as a great & moral human warrior – taking
place on the battlefield before the start of the Kurukshetra war6. Responding to
Arjuna’s confusion and moral dilemma about fighting his own cousins, Krishna
explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince and elaborates on different
Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to
the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu theology and also as a
practical, self-contained guide to life.7 Gita is constituted of 18 chapters, each
entailing multiple verses or texts. The main satanic aspects of Gita are
described below.
The message of Bhagavad-gita is inherently satanic. To begin with the simplest of
criticism, Chapter 9: verse 32 of Gita considers women, alongside vaisyas
[merchants] and sudras [workers], to be of lower/inferior birth. And the same
verse and verse 33 altogether imply clearly that righteous brahmanas and saintly
kings are considered to be of superior birth. So, by “brahmanas”, Gita means
males, not females. Chapter 4: verse 13 and Chapter 18: verse 41 altogether
mention that Krishna has created brahmanas, ksatriyas [warriors], vaisyas, and
sudras as four divisions of human society. Chapter 18: verse 47 & verse 48
collectively make it clear that Gita asks everyone from a division to do work only
assigned for their division. Therefore, women who do the works of (male)
brahmanas – e.g. the work of a professional teacher – would be irreligious
according to Gita. Now, in Chapter 4: verses 7 & 8, Krishna tells Arjuna that to
deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, and to re-establish the
principles of religion, He, Himself, appears millennium after millennium. This
means that all irreligious women, considered as miscreants by Gita, are
threatened to death. Even Gita would think it religious to annihilate the
irreligious – all of those whose beliefs and practices do not conform to the
message of Gita, which would include atheists, agnostics, free thinkers, other
religious people like Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc.8
Moreover, the message of Gita is violent. In Chapter 2: verses 31 to 38, Chapter 4:
verse 42, and Chapter 11: verses 33 & 34, Arjuna is advised to fight the irreligious
people with violent means. If Krishna himself is God and almighty, he must be
able to induce the irreligious people to righteous thoughts and deeds with pacific
means. Instead of doing so, he wishes bloodshed.9 In Chapter 4: verse 8, Krishna
claims that to annihilate the miscreants, he, himself, appears millennium after
millennium. Krishna mentions “miscreants”, not “misdeeds”. Further, in chapter
11: verses 33 & 34, Krishna says that he has prearranged the deaths of Arjuna’s
irreligious enemies.
If deaths can be prearranged, anything can be prearranged, and if that is the case, why Krishna doesn’t prearrange all good in the first place?
Doesn’t Krishna – the governing principle of the material manifestation, as he
claims himself to be in Chapter 7: verse 30 – do this for his own despicable
enjoyment?10 If he were really good and noble, he would only create numerous
pleasant (mental) states of self-realisation – the thing that he hails throughout
Gita, including Chapter 3: verse 17 & Chapter 4: verse 35 – and not any of
suffering. Isn’t, therefore, Lord Krishna – being responsible for unfathomable
violence and suffering – satanic?
Lastly, Gita is full of contradictions, absurdities, and flawed philosophies – its
disregard for suffering11, its concept of ?tman12, Krishna being a sinner, and yet
claiming to be holy & divine, and all that. And some of the verses are
conspicuously and hilariously false & stupid – e.g. Chapter 3: verse 14, which
states that rains are produced because yajna13 is performed.

2 The word “Bhagavad-gita” is also usually written as Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavad-Gita, Bhagavadg?t?,
etc.
3 The Vedas (Sanskrit ??? véda, "knowledge") are a large body of texts originating in Ancient
India. Composed in Vedic Sanskrit, the texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. (See http://rupeenews.com/rj4 1st
paragraph.) The Upanishads are Hindu scriptures that constitute the core teachings of Vedanta. (See http://rupeenews.com/CaQ 1st paragraph) And
Vedanta is considered to be source of all Vedic literature. (See http://rupeenews.com/CDu 1st paragraph.)

6 The Kurukshetra War is the war between the Kauravas and Pandavas, which forms an essential component of the Hindu epic Mah?bh?rata. According to Mah?bh?rata, a dynastic struggle between sibling clans of Kauravas and the Pandavas for the throne of Hastinapura resulted in a battle in which a number of ancient kingdoms participated as allies of the rival clans. The location of the battle was Kurukshetra in the modern state of Haryana in India. (See

8 To conclude, to this point, “Bhagavad-gita is Hindu terrorism, and Krishna is a terrorist.”
9 In Chapter 11: verse 32, Krishna mentions that He has come to this world to destroy all people
(i.e. millions of people in the battlefield), except few. Only twelve warriors, including Krishna &
Arjuna, survived the war.
10 In Chapter 9: verse 30, Krishna tells Arjuna that even the worst miscreant is to be considered saintly if he is engaged in devotional service to him (i.e. Krishna). If Krishna were truly noble, he would say, “I like & admire those who are virtuous, even if they disregard Me.”, won’t he?
11 As expressed through verses 2:11, 2:14, 2:30, 2:57, etc.
12 If there were such a thing called ?tman (i.e. soul), the consciousness of seeing blue colour, for instance, would make incomplete sense on its own, where, in fact, it does apparently make complete sense on its own. In other
words, it seems that nothing other than the consciousness of seeing blue colour is required for its existence. And the same should be true about any other form of consciousness, including the consciousness of I’m seeing the blue colour.
13 In Hinduism, Yajña (Sanskrit ? yajña; also anglicized as Yagna, Yagya or Yadnya) is a ritual of sacrifice (Monier-Williams gives the meanings "worship, prayer, praise; offering, oblation, sacrifice") derived from the practice of Vedic times. It is performed to please the gods or to attain
certain wishes. An essential element is the sacrificial fire – the divine Agni – into which oblations are poured, as everything that is offered into the fire is believed to reach the gods. (See
