| Hindu Born Again or Dwija [ Twice Born] |
|
|
| Many years ago, one day I saw on TV, a preacher from Texas telling a BBC reporter that late Mother Theresa won’t go to heaven, unless she comes to his church and become "born-again." I never could understand why the preacher condemned Mother Thersa. How can he or any one else say that about the a great devotee of God, even though she has nothing to do with Hinduism? The Hindu India, was indeed blessed by her Holy presence, even though she converted a lot of Hindus to Christianity. Not even one Hindu saint ever said anything disrespectful about her. When she died, The whole India cried. Government of India gave her a Royal funeral. Well, now let us study deeply about BORN AGAIN QUESTION. Long, Long ago, the Christian term "Born-again" was exclusively used within the church as an important part of the church's phraseology. Now it is widely used even in commercials, just like the word "Guru". The actual word in the Greek version of the New Testament is "Anothen" meaning "Born From the Above" or "Born of God". Jesus said, "Except man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God " ( St. John 3-3) and Jesus added : "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again" . ( St. John 3-7). The closest word in Hinduism to what Jesus said is Dwija. The actual meaning of Dwija is "Twice Born". Who is a Dwija (Twice Born)? .....A Brahmin. Who is a Brahmin?.... He or she who realizes Brahman. What is Brahman?... That which is infinite...God So in a nutshell, He who realizes God is a “twice born” or He who is a “twice born” automatically will realize God. According to Hinduism, unless there is an absolute change in consciousness and absolute self purification, nobody can achieve God realization. Without complete change of consciousness, it is impossible to realize God and vice versa. So, it is to be assumed that omnipresent Jesus Christ was referring to a complete change of consciousness rather than any ritualistic and symbolic gestures. A person who is “Born again” is indeed a realized person What is “ twice born” ritual in Hinduism? “Twice Born” ritual in Hinduism is known as “Upanayanam”. Upanayanam is the ceremonial rite of giving a young boy [now a days only Brahmins do this but once upon a time all upper castes conducted Upanayanam] a scared thread with an initiation into the Gayatri, the most popular and holiest of all Hindu mantras. Thread symbolizes --- connection between material worlds to spiritual world. First a thread is made of nine fine (thin) threads, then three such threads are connected by a knot. These three threads represent Satva, Raajas and Taamasa gunas, Rig, Yajur, Saama Vedas, Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswati concepts. Gayatri Mantra symbolizes --- the conveyance by which he will travel from material world to the spiritual world. After the Uapnayanam ceremony, boy becomes a DWIJA – TWICE BORN. That means he has just started his journey into the spiritual world through the sacred thread and Gayatri Mantra. Ceremony also signifies the boy's entry into the Brahmacharya ashram. [ the period of celibacy ] . After the Upanayanam, the boy is eligible to study the Vedas.
