One’s first impression might be that Dr. Naik is open-minded and is doing some good by opening the minds of Muslims (and Hindus alike). However, he is doing so only for the sake of planting more seeds of dogma into their minds. Anyway, at least he is steering Muslims away from terrorism and stressing a less violent dogma; but it is still clearly dogma. For example, in the video he says that Mohamed was the Antim Rishi, or the last Rishi. He says that Mohamed was the avatar Kalki. He also states that Islam did not begin 1400 years ago but began with the beginning of Creation. He states many such nonsensical things.

The Vedas are the root of all knowledge. When everyone returns to their roots, they will no longer be rooted in Ignorance and dogma. Though a little more open-minded than others, and apparently not a fanatical Muslim, Dr. Naik has yet to grasp the essence of Divine Wisdom.

The essence of wisdom is that each and every one of us is Immortal, Unborn, Indestructible, Unselfish, All-loving, Pure Consciousness. Anything that makes us more conscientious of our Real Nature is conducive to our happiness and the welfare of everyone, and we should embrace THAT. On the other hand, that which ignores the universality of consciousness and stresses individuality, sectarianism, selfishness, hatred, and violence—in fact, anything that is contrary to our Real Nature—even if it is embraced by one’s religion, should be shunned.

Every Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Humanist, Pagan, atheist or agnostic should strive to be more honest with themselves by continuing their search for Truth until every element of falsehood is removed from their mind. For this, we need the Divine Wisdom which has been passed down to us since time immemorial. To receive it we need to be humble; to keep it we need to share it by putting it into practice to improve ourselves and our environment, and inspire those who come in our contact.

Before a couple of years a small booklet in Hindi "Gyan Ghotala" (= spoiled knowledge) was written & published by Prof. Rajendra Jignasu - a famous author of Arya samaj on this very subject. One can enquire for this book here : Prof. Rajendra Jignasu, Veda Sadan, Nai Suraj Nagri, Abohar, Panjab (India).

It may not be on internet. There are many important books written in Hindi and English written by many Scholars of Aryasamaj & Dayananda which are not available on internet. The works of Swami Vidyananda Saraswati, Swami Satyaprakash Saraswati, Swami Satyapati Parivrajak etc are to be placed on internet.

There is a popular invocation in Hindu temples which goes:

Oh Bhagwan, forgive three sins that are due to my human limitations:
Thou art everywhere, but I worship you here;
Thou art without form, but I worship you in these forms;
Thou needest no praise, yet I offer you these prayers and salutations.
Forgive these three sins that are due to my human limitations.

Sin (error) number two would seem to back up Dr. Naik’s contention that Hinduism forbids idolatry. But notice the other points of the prayer. The first sin clearly indicates that the God Hindus worship is omnipresent, whereas Dr. Naik has categorically denied that Allah is omnipresent. The third sin shows that the true God has no desire to be prayed to, nor is this a biased or partisan deity. Salat, on the other hand, includes praise of Allah, and even a condemnation of those who “go astray,” i.e. those who don’t worship Allah.

One Muslim, apparently in an attempt to make fun of Hinduism, asked me how many incarnations of Devi there are. He then proceeded to answer the question – somewhere around 33 million. I’m not quite sure what this is supposed to prove. Large numbers in religious texts are usually poetic rather than literal; they suggest something great. Devi’s compassion is limitless, so much so that The Goddess continually incarnates into the world.

Now, I’d like to propose some questions for exclusive monotheists. How many stars are there in the universe? There are about a billion x billion. One rough analogy is that there are about as many stars in the universe as grains of sand in a beach. Is there some master star controlling them all? While all bodies are subject to the same laws of physics, except in special cases, there is not an absolute body in control of others.

Maybe we should look to biology; after all, if there is a God, “He” is probably more like a sentient being than a lifeless object. In the human body there are trillions of cells. Is there a master cell? How about a master organ? If you remove the brain from the body, can it continue to direct the actions of the body? Can a brain function without a body? How about a unicellular organism? Can a nucleus be removed and function independently of the cell?

Really, is there any good reason to suppose that the universe must be ruled by a being completely outside of it? Why assume that the universe was “made” at all?

The panentheist doctrine of emanation – that the universe emerged out of a formless, spaceless, timeless super-consciousness – is not wrong just because Abrahamic holy books suggest otherwise. The Goddess is a perfect symbol of the divine. She gives birth, nurtures, and sustains the universe. The God makes way for the new. He dissolves the finite, revealing the infinite. The Goddess has compassion for suffering beings caught in the finite and its tricks (maya). Shakti and Shiva - such beautiful interdependence! There is no jealous deity here to command single-minded obedience and obeisance.
