John entitled: The Real Meaning of the Battle of Kosovo) The battle of Kosovo took place on June 28, 1389 between a Christian Coalition led by Tsar Lazar of Serbia and the Turkish Muslim forces led by King Murad. In addition to being a great leader, Tsar Lazar was also a very spiritual and holy man. In a story told to every Serbian school child for countless generations, an extraordinary event is recounted. The night before the battle God appeared to Tsar Lazar and told him he could win either a great material or a great spiritual victory. It was his choice. Being a man of profound Christian faith, Tsar did not hesitate and chose the spiritual victory. The next day the battle was lost and both Tsar Lazar and King Murad were killed. The misinterpretation of that event by Serbian nationalists has led to their denial of Tsar Lazar�s vow as well as the promise given to him by God. It is as if the ancient battle had never been lost, as if the Muslims had never fought in Kosovo at all, or that the 400 year cultural flowering and unique legacy of Muslims and Christians living together in Bosnia never occurred Tsar Lazar�s choice of a great spiritual victory led eventually to the flowering of diverse religious and ethnic cultures, all living together in peace and harmony. This was most profound in Sarajevo, a model of hope for the future of the world and a bulwark against religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. In their denial and misunderstanding of this, and ultimately the building of Gazi Mestan in Kosovo, a monument symbolizing Serbian ethnic and religious nationalism, the values Tsar Lazar had repudiated in his choice for a spiritual victory were lost. Serbia went against their greatest spiritual leader, his vow and choice, and God�s promise to him. It is well known that World War I was triggered by the assassination of ArchDuke Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 1914 by a Serbian man named Gavrilo Princep. This in turn paved the way for World War II, the rise of the Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party, the Holocaust, and many other horrors. The war in former Yugoslavia ended nearly a century of European warfare with ethnic violence that had not been seen since Hitler. What is not so well known are the links of all these events to Kosovo and the promise to Tsar Lazar. Gavrilo Princep, a Serbian nationalist, specifically chose the day of June 28 to assassinate the ArchDuke. It was the anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, but what he did not know was the true nature of the group that sponsored the assassination and from whom he took his direction. They were not the like-minded nationalist�s Princep thought they were, but a secret Serbian occult terrorist organization that called themselves "The Black Hand." In this light the events of 1914-1945 and their spiritual significance take on a whole new meaning. The continuation of these events bring us back to Kosovo on June 28, 1989, the 600th anniversary of the battle. President Milosevic of Serbia, also the last president of Yugoslavia, gave an historic speech on the battlefield of Kosovo to rally the last vestiges of a greater Serbia. This final tragic misinterpretation of the spiritual victory won at the Battle of Kosovo and God�s promise to Tsar Lazar set into motion all the terrible events that have taken place in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovania and now Kosovo over the last ten years. These have all been the dark fruits of the misunderstanding of the Battle of Kosovo. http://www.worldpuja.org/beloveddisciple/beloved.html DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
