Your other source get it's information from an east Indian author therefore it's biased

Where is the bias being shown?

Before you answer, look at the definition of the word bias

Because I don't think you know what the word means.

You don't understand the cultural friction between blacks and coolies in the west Indies of course a coolie is going to claim they influenced something they had next to nothing to do with because they favor their group and look down on blacks especially the coolies of mansingh generation.

Everything isn't always black and white.

Why did a black man adopt a Hindu name?

besides, Mansingh isn't the only one who said what he did.

Joseph Hibbert, another founding father of Rastafari, acknowledged the Hindu influence on Leonard Howell in an interview with Leonard Howell’s biographer Helene Lee.

What hasn't registered to you yet is the meaning of the word alluded

It means to make an indirect reference (to something)

What here is being indirectly referenced?

All you did was misread.

Nowhere did it say Jah is a Hindi word.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt

And assume you're trolling

 

[zzombie]

Some Chinese people have English names it just means they like the name.

An influence on one man doesn't translate to the whole movement because in the first place Joseph hibbert didn't create Rasta.

Lol Chinese take on English names

For practicality's sake.

This is a tad different.

Howell adopting that name was clearly

More than that.

Joseph Hibbert, though,

Was a founding father of the movement.

He acknowledged the influence on Howell,

Who played a major part in the development

Of Rastafari. So who am I to believe?

Hibbert, or you?

I'm thinking the same.

How about you explain what you mean?

Hibbert didn't create Rasta and one man talking a nickname doesn't mean anything the actual theology of rasta has nothing to do with Hinduism

 

[zzombie]

If you quote something and don't understand the implications of what it is saying then I cannot help you

 

[Bodhi]

Hibbert didn't create Rasta

I didn't say he did.

I said he was a founding father of the movement.

A founding father doesn't necessarily create.

one man talking a nickname doesn't mean anything

Seems as if it does.

 

[Bodhi]

If you quote something and don't understand the implications of what it is saying then I cannot help you

In other words, you can't

Because you don't know what

You're talking about.

I'm not going to continue to go back and forth with

Someone who doesn't even understand

The words they're using.

It seems that way to you and no one else .

if hibbert didn't create any of the sects of rasta which you admit then what his nickname was is irrelevant to rasta

You didn't understand what you quoted and are too cowardly to admit it

 

[Bodhi]

Hibbert is not Howell.

You're confusing the two.

 

[Bodhi]

Okay...

The Mansingh studies have enumerated Howell's innumerable borrowings

from the Indians --- his name Gangunguru Maragh

(from gyan, knowledge; guna, virtue; guru, teacher; and Maharadj,

King); his prayers' use of Hindi words; his concept of a God-King;

the sacramental use of ganja, meditation, vegetarian cooking and

spices, and even the holy salutation --- 'Jah! Rastafari!'

One can hear the loud chants of Jai Bhagwan, Jai Rama, Jai

Krishna, or Jai Kali (victory to God/Rama/Krishna/Kali) at any

private or community Hindu Pooja or prayer meeting...As Ras

Tafari gained the status of African Lord Rama/Krishna during

the 1940s, phonetic usage of the word Jai was continued. But

Rama, Krishna and Kali were replaced by Ras Tafari. Searching

the Old Testament...the Rastas found the word Jah, which is

phonetically similar to the Hindi word Jai.



Howell not only borrowed some exotic words and rituals

from the Indians to feed the fancies of an illiterate audience, he also

adopted a way of thinking. Indian thought --- karma and rebirth---

provided him with a system that resolved the western dichotomy of

heaven and hell, Jesus and Satan, black and white, spirit and flesh.

I've bolded ^^ where you misread..

Jah is not hindi jah is from the bible.

What you (supposedly) read says that Jah is phonetically similar to a Hindi word,

Not that it is a Hindi word.

And it says that the word Jah is from the Old Testament.

So it's clear to me that you misread and thought that it said

Jah is a Hindi word. It didn't

 

[zzombie]

if hibbert didn't create any of the sects of rasta which you admit then what his nickname was is irrelevant to rasta

Hibbert is not Howell.

You're confusing the two.

If really doesn't even matter neither of them injected Hinduism into rasta and there is no proof that they did. The only thing you have done is prove they knew about other religions and had nicknames

 

[Bodhi]

If really doesn't even matter

LOL there you go misreading again....

You alluded to jah Rastafar I being a replacement for Hindu gods.

 

[Bodhi]

You alluded to jah Rastafar I being a replacement for Hindu gods.

Okay, that has nothing to do

With your original statement.

You said Jah is not a Hindi word.

Of course it isn't. Please bold

Where someone said that it is.
