A very stupid trending story: SF State Black Student Confronts White Student Over "Dreads"

[zzombie]

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 Hindu word.

Of course it isn't. Please bold

Where someone said that it is.

I never said they did I said your quote alluded that it was. Your quote clearly says jah rastfari comes from Hinduism.

 

[Bodhi]

Your quote clearly says jah rastfari comes from Hinduism.

LOL Where?

Bold it

 

[zzombie]

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

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]

"And even the holy salutation -- jah! Rastafari"

 

[Bodhi]

If you read the second paragraph,

It explains that the "Jah! Rastafari" salutation

Derives from Jai Bhagwan/Rama/Krishna/Kali chants,

Not that Jah itself is a Hindu word

Or that "Jah Rastafari" itself is the Hindu chant.

It even says Jah comes from the Old Testament. I don't see

How you could misunderstand that.

It says when Ras Tafari "gained the status" of God King,

usage of Jai (Hindi, translation Victory) was continued

As "Jai! Ras Tafari", i.e. "Victory! Ras Tafari!"..

Jah replaced Jai and became "Jah! Rastafari", i.e. "God Ras Tafari"

 

[Bodhi]

I really shouldn't be teaching you how to read

Without pay.

Now you raised the level of trolling

 

[zzombie]

This idiot doesn't understand how saying jah rastafari comes from jai bhagwan alludes to one taking from the other.

 

[Bodhi]

This idiot doesn't understand how saying jah rastafari comes from jai bhagwan alludes to one taking from the other.

I'm not arguing against that. I acknowledge that it is an example

Of Hinduism's influence on Rastafari.

However, that doesn't "allude" to Jah being a Hindi word,

As you previously said. Again, nowhere does anybody say that Jah

Is a Hindi word.

Yeah it does because when you allude to something you suggest something without directly saying it.

Yeah but in this case, that isn't what happened.

It explicitly says Jah comes from the Old Testament,

Not the Hindi language.

Just that "Jah" replaced the Hindi word "Jai" in

The Ras Tafari chant, which was influenced

By the Hindu chants to Bhagwan, etc.

Troll level one thousand.

Jah came from the o.t yet Rastafarians replaced jai with jah.

 

[zzombie]

Rasta didn't take their word or chants you are making the correlation equals causation fallacy again.
