The Maharaj Libel Case: The Truth of a British Missionary Plot Against Hindus by Dhawal Patel-Part 2

The libel case was brought in response to an article by Karsandas Mulji, the editor of the Bombay-based Gujarati newspaper Satya Prakash (“Light of Truth”). Titled, “The Primitive Religion of the Hindus and the Present Heterodox Opinions”, the article made a forceful case against the sect known as Vallabha Sampradaya (or Pushti Marg) - devoted to Krishna was a “new” and “heretical” religion - particularly as it had arisen within the period of the Kaliyug. Mulji argued that Hinduism must be singular, and that the idea of multiple religions branching off from that originary source was “a deceitful proposition”.
Mulji also alleged that the leaders of this sect - the Maharajas - were immoral and “lost in a sea of licentiousness” and named one of the Maharajas - Jadunathji Maharaj.
Gujarati Newspaper - Satya Prakash by Karsandas Mulji
On 14th May 1861, Jadunathji Maharaj filed a plaint in the Supreme Court of Bombay, claiming that the article in Satya Prakash was libelous, and asking for damages in the region of 50,000 rupees. The case came to trial early in 1862, and lasted for three months. The case was presided over by British Judges - Sir Matthew Richard Sausse, the first chief justice of the High Court of Bombay and Judge Joseph Arnould, and both the Maharaj and Mulji were represented by English counsel. The proceedings were reported on by the Bombay Gazette and The Times of India.
The Maharaj’s case was that he was a valid religious authority and guru within his tradition; that his religious views were not heterodox within his religion, and that he was not guilty of “improper conduct.” The Defendants countered with the plea that the Maharaj was not a valid preceptor and Sri Vallabhacharya - being of modern date - “15th century of the Christian era” - was “altogether repugnant to and at variance with the religious doctrines and practices of the ancient Hindu religion”. The defence further averred that the religious books of Sri Vallabhacharya contained many passages of “indecent and immoral character” in which “adultery and fornication are encouraged and commended”, summing up with the assertion that the “supposed libel” of the the original newspaper article and its statements were true in substance and effect.

बहुत सुन्दर धवल भाई।सनातन ही सत्य और शाश्वत है और जिस प्रकार सूरज को बादल कुछ समय ढक सकता है लेकिन सूरज को किसी भी प्रकार हानि नहीं कर सकता उसी प्रकार मेरे निजाचर्य ,मेरे गुरु भक्तिमार्ग के सूर्य,अखण्ड भूमंडलाचार्या श्रीमद् वल्लभाचार्य जी महाप्रभु जी के सिद्धांत कोऔर अद्वितीय पुष्टिमार्गको पूरे ब्रह्मांड के सभी ज्ञानी,सभी वैज्ञानिक,सभी प्रज्ञानी एक साथ मिलकर भी मुकाबला नहीं कर सकते यह खुली चुनौती है ।महाराज liable केस यह ब्रिटिश सरकार का सनातन धर्म संस्कृति पर आघात करने का कुत्सित मानसिकता का प्रयास था।सरकार ब्रिटिश की, न्न्यायाधीश,यायपालिका ब्रिटिश की,पूरा कोर्ट का स्टाफ ब्रिटिश का और प्रजा में डर भी गोरे ब्रिटिश के गोरे डंडे का,फिर किसकी हिम्मत होगी ब्रिटिश हुकमत के खिलाप जाने की।लेकिन आज भारत में ब्रिटिश सरकार के फैसले पर महाराज फिल्म बनना और सनातन धर्म प्रेमियों के आराध्य पर कुठाराघात करना।यह बात हजम नही होती की भारत आजाद हुआ है ।

To rule on indians, we've to break their deeply rooted cultural beliefs - this is what one of British visroy wrote to their Queen. This case acted as their mega success in their mission of doing so. Yes, it was scandalous and decisions were absolutely prejudiced. But it's sad to see the brutal misuse of such cases and display them in public domain on the name of freedom of art in today's time. I strongly condemns such unethical nonsense usages of such scripts in either cinema or dramas or book publications....

जय श्री कृष्ण धवल भाई, क्यू इस मानहानि केस को इतना बढ़ावा दे रहो हो, जितनी प्रमोशन मूवी वालो ने नहीं की उतनी ऐप लॉग कर रहे हैं इस मानहानि केस को लेकर, जो सच्चे महाप्रभुजी और श्री ठाकोरजी के सेवक भक्त हैं वो किसी भी कारण से मार्ग से भटकेंगे नहीं चाहे हजारों फिल्म बनले महाराज जेसी। आप नाम संकीर्तन पर और जो हमारा साहित्य है उसके ऊपर वीडियो बनाओ ना आज काई लोगो को यमुनाष्टक का अर्थ तक पता नहीं है बस रटे जा रहे हैं।

Shree Draupadi ji ka bhi jab bhari sabha me cheerharan ho raha tha tab vaha upasthit sabhi ne apne khud ke dharm se bandh karke apne kartavya ko nai samja tab ja kar Shree Hari ne Swayam apne kartavya ka nirvahan karke draupadi ji ki Raksha ki thi to jab Shree Hari apne kartavyo ka Palan karne se nai chuke to phir hum sab bhi apne Sanatan Hindu dharam ka Aisa cheerharan hote hue bhi kaise chup reh kar dekh sakte hai
