Who was it that invented this "brahman" thingy? And can it ever be found? As in the completely fabricated "brahman" thingy of Mr. Raja Roy circa 1828.
PLEASE SEE THE UNDISPUTED *HISTORICAL FACTS BELOW*. The term "brahmo"(which later became "brahman") did not exist prior to 1828!! period. We can factually determine this because the *Offical British* census conducted later classified the major religions, and "brahmo" *was classified* as a seperate and distinct religion see link cited below .."The, "Brahmo" religion can be first found in an offical census conducted in India by the British Provinical Goverment in 1872.." source- http://www.censusindia.net/religiondata/Introduction_2001_religion.pd f The "Hindus" (and all of India for that matter) of 1827 knew nothing of a "brahmo" / "brahman" as the term had not ever been used to describe a "god" of a religion that had yet to be invented by Raja Ram Roy!.. THAT IS A FACT! see link cited .."He founded the Brahmo Samaj at Calcutta in 1828, which was initially known as the "Brahmo Sabha.." source- http://www.chanda.freeserve.co.uk/rmroy1.htm ..."Brahman is worshipped as the sole creator and supporter of the universe. This monotheism is based on the interpretation of the early Vedanta, the Upanishads, and the Brahma Sutra. Ram Mohan Roy,founder of Brahmo Samaj,identified the monotheism of Christianity and Islam as of universal validity..." source- http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/hindu/ascetic/brahmo.html "Rammohun Roy" (aka- Raja Ram Roy).. ..."Greater, however, than the influence exercised on the philosophical thought of modern Europe, has been the impulse which these same Upanishads have imparted to the religious life of modern India. In about the same year (1774 or 1775) when the first MS. of the Persian translation of the Upanishads was received by Anquetil Duperron, Rammohun Roy[24] was born in India, the reformer and reviver of the ancient religion of the Brahmans. A man who in his youth could write a book "Against the Idolatry of all Religions," and who afterwards expressed in so many exact words his "belief in the divine authority of Christ [25]" was not likely to retain anything of the sacred literature of his own religion, unless he had perceived in it the same divine authority which he recognised in the teaching of Christ. He rejected the Purânas, he would not have been swayed in his convictions by the authority of the Laws of Manu, or even by the sacredness of the Vedas. He was above all that. But he discovered in the Upanishads and in the so-called Vedânta something different from all the rest, something that ought not to be thrown away, something that, if rightly understood, might supply the right native soil in which alone the seeds of true religion, aye, of true Christianity, might spring up again and prosper in India, as they had once sprung up and prospered from out the philosophies of Origen or Synesius. European scholars have often wondered that Rammohun Roy, in his defence of the Veda, should have put aside the Samhitâs and the Brâhmanas, and laid his finger on the Upanishads only, as the true kernel of the whole Veda..." SOURCE- http://www.infoplease.com/t/rel/upanishads/ The religion of "brahmo-ism" / "brahman-ism" is based Roy's interpetation of a combination of two schools of thought - 1). the "god" of Judeo-Christain tradition, and 2). early vedanta & Upanishads & Brahma Sutra Roy combined the two schools of thought, and came with "brahmo- ism / "brahman-ism" as cited by numerous and widely accepted sources. In fact there was only one religion-"Brahmo" that worshipped a "brahman" thingy, as is pointed out by Dr. Coplin in his report on the 'Early History of (S)piritual (R)egeneration (M)ovement'. see links cited ..."We have held it from the very first that Brahmoism was but a perverted or distorted form of Christianity..Christianity constituted, as it were, the vital principle of Brahmoism, it is the source of its life, vigor, and strength.." source- http://members.aol.com/drcoplin/SRMemergence.html Furthermore we know for a fact that the British hired Raja Ram Roy and supported his efforts to create a new religion-"Brahmo-ism" and the worship of a "brahman" thingy it is a *Historical Fact*. see links cited .."The employment history and financial support of Raja Ram Mohan Roy is easily traced. He got a job under John Digby,a company official of the British East India Company. Ram Mohan was introduced to western culture, and literature shortly following his employment, through Digby..." [end] source-http://www.bsna.org/bzine-m/jan2k1/bvani-y2k/ramohanroy.htm And, Raja Ram Roy is just one of the many paid hack writers the British hired to attempt to destroy and demean the *true* religion (Sanatan Dharm) of India, and ceate another in its place. And in fact the British had admitted to the attempts publicly. see links cited .."Macaulay's object was to undermine the social and religious institutions of India. The Indian Daily News, for instance, wrote in its leader on March 29, 1909: "Lord Macaulay's triumph over the Oriental School, headed by Dr. Wilson, was really the triumph of a deliberate intention to undermine the religious and social life of India..." "..1. The famous German indologist Albrecht Weber (1825-1901) was a notorious racist whose German nationalistic tendencies were thinly veiled as works on Indian philosophy and culture. When Humbolt lauded praise upon the Bhagavad-gita, Weber became disgusted. His immediate response was to speculate that the Mahabharata and Gita were influenced by Christian theology - 'The peculiar colouring of the Krishna sect, which pervades the whole book, is noteworthy: Christian legendry matter and other Western influences are unmistakably present...' .."The British domination of India has been described as a "political and economic misfortune." In 1937, a distinguished British civil servant, G. T. Garratt, declared that the period of Indo-British civilization of the 150 years had been most disappointing, and "in some ways the most sterile in Indian history..."[end] source- http://www.atributetohinduism.com/FirstIndologists.htm#The%20First% 20...
