| | La Rédaction | 21/03/2010 | | | | Le vice-président du Conseil des religions recommande la tolérance et de non-violence aux  groupes socioculturels.
L’intolérance de certains groupes socioculturels se traduit de plus en plus souvent par la violence. Et tout cela au nom de la religion…
Je ne crois pas que les religions prêchent la violence. Le Conseil des religions condamne en tout cas toute forme de violence à l’égard d’autrui sous prétexte qu’ils pratiquent leur foi. Il serait temps qu’ils comprennent que faire preuve d’agressivité n’a jamais aidé à résoudre un problème. Je ne peux toutefois pas me prononcer sur les incidents de Triolet car il nous faudra dans un premier temps entendre les différentes parties concernées.
Ces groupes se sentiraient-ils menacés par la popularité d’autres groupes religieux ?
Je pense qu’il serait intéressant de leur poser la question. Personne n’est pas sans savoir que la Constitution garantit à tout un chacun de vivre sa religion comme il l’entend. Nous devons respecter cette liberté. C’est un acquis d’une grande valeur. Il nous faut, dans le monde où nous vivons, une ouverture d’esprit. Il y a, selon moi, un manque de connaissance religieux chez ceux qui ont recours à la violence. L’hindouisme est une religion de paix. Il ne faut sous aucun prétexte y porter atteinte.
Les Mauriciens sont-ils moins tolérants quand il s’agit de religion ?
Je ne le pense pas. La nouvelle génération, qui a grandi au sein d’une société plurielle comme Maurice, est très tolérante. Et nous devons prendre conscience de cette chance. Les récents incidents qui ont fait la Une de l’actualité sont le fait d’une minorité. Il s’agit d’un acte isolé que je ne m’explique toujours pas

| rama | | | With all respect pandit, please ask Mr Daltaman to behave and stay away from politics.His actions are disgusting... | | | brijjb | | | 1. If there is only one god, then why do some convince others for change? 2. Does pentecotte really have magical healing powers? 3. The government should use the Medical Council to inquire and proceed legally as in “un etat de droit”. 4. Does the pandit differentiate between a sect and a religion? 5. Our constitution mentions religion but what does it say about sect, conversion & fooling people by ‘magical healing of diseases’? 6. On what census does the pandit basede himself to say ‘minorite’? Why is there no noise when various kalimayes are destroyed?
Like it or not, Christianity has known Crusades, Inquisition and mass conversion to Christianity during slavery. I agree when the pandit says Hinduism is a religion of peace but that has got its limits in face of threats. He fails to understand why Krishna carries a chakra, Ram carries a bow & arrow, Kaali carries...More to say about epics like Mahabharat & Ramayan. The Pandit is not in control of the Hindu mass and worse, he does not know history and his own religion well enough not say anything about that of others. With all this, he should no longer hold this position and be the spokesperson of Hindus.
| | | Joe | | | Pandit Ved Gopee representant Hindou lor conseil des religions pe dire que c'est ok que les Hindoue se convertissent...Mon Dieu, aidez ce pauvre homme a faire la distinction entre tolerance et stupidité ! Ou allons nous si un pandit ne protege plus ses devots? Si un berger ne protege pas ses brebis? Au lieu d'essayer de se faire passer pour un liberal...le Pandit Ved Gopee aurait mieux fait d'avoir a coeur ses devots avant tout au lieu d'essayer de plaire a ses collegues du comité des religions. C'est juste une observation. Il ne represente pas l'interet des Hindous et n'est pas une voix forte pour que les Hindous ne se laissent embobinner dans divers sectes qui pulullent a Maurice. | | | MBCTV | | | A sect is always a sect!Nobody will condone violence,whereever it takes place.Mauritius is an open society.It ie well known for its religious tolerance.Mauriitius is not America,where the Natives have been smotthered by sects both mentally and physically.It is arrogant for anybody to claim that Mauritians are not tolerant to the different religious beliefs.Christianity has been around at the outset,when country Mauritius came into being.A television debate will perhaps clarify the air. | | | Raj | | | How can we in 2010 accept that a group of people come and tell us that the only way to God is through the teachings of the bible? What happens if some other group comes and says that it is through X or Y?
Hasn't humanity learnt anything from the insurection period of 16th century where people were forced to convert to christianism? Tolerance means accepting other people's religious beliefs, not going around and telling them that their religion is wrong and only yours is good. | | | Neel | | | Those 'Hindus' who did those stupid things just made the image of our country look shitter like never before.Instead of attacking peaceful people,go and fight for India against its ennmies....Not proud to be Mauritian, nor Hindu anymore. Don't call yourself
Mauritians ok MBCTV? | | | Sook | | | Very well said Pt Ved. I really appreciate your realistic approach. "C'est une preuve que vous avez une grande ouverture d'esprit". Its high time these so called social cultural organisations fighting in the name of Hindus realised that they won’t achieve anything using violence instead they are tarnishing the image of the Hindu community. They have no right to touch our acquired rights in the name of religion. Also, they should realise that religion is the greatest restraint against violence in our world. Good reflection Pt ji! Keep it up. | | | TRILO GUJADHUR | | | VED GOPEE is in the conseil des religions just for the sake of putting a hindu there.Has the hindus philosophy been shared to others!!!!!
we need to stop CONVERSION BY HARASSMENT, specially to the poor and the Hindus . Tolerance does not mean being a FOOL.
Please HOMA MUNGAPEN as a BAhai MInority do something before unstabily starts with no end.
It is VERY NORMAL that VOH and KRANTI react....
if others keep fooling the weak minded hindu to get converted. i am abroad for the moment.just getting the informations from the press. | | | Emiliano Z | | | Open mind, sure. But not too much, otherwise the religious industry may end up in the museum. | | | Ahmed | | | What is the aim of that sect? Is it to promote universal peace and tolerance or to convert people of targeted communities? A recent article in Macleans' Magazine illustrates the hell the marketers of similar sects have to face in order to justify their existence. They would not step away from any obstacle on their way to convert their chosen victims. It is of course our duty as good Muslims and Catholics to help any other human who is in need to convert into our religion, but it is sinful to recruit and convert people to a sect that has no structure, that is bickering with other similar Christian sects and that has nothing to offer but the illusion of a miraculous twist of fate to the convert. | | | Dan | | |
In Mauritius, there are lots of protestants, pentecotistes,mission,salut guerison,adventist,temoins de jehovah,assemblée de dieu.etc. Still sects?Come on, i bet we can find more than 100 000 believers from this population of 1.2 million. Still sects? | | | Prab | | | I am proud of you , Pandit Ved Gopee. We should have leaders like you to promote the unity of Hindu in particular and the nation in general. Those Dulthumun , Voice of Hindus leaders are selfish, Roderboute and do not deserve to talk on behalf of the Hindu Community. Other community hate them. KEEP IT UP, PANDIT VED GOPEE. | | | Baltazar | | | Quand on a plusieurs chiens, on les donne à manger séparément pour éviter qu'ils se querellent. Mais il arrive souvent qu'un plus gros vorace chasse les autres pour s'accaparer de leurs parts. C'est la guerre des sectes. Les Mauriciens religieux, libre et tolérant ne doivent pas se meler pour ne pas escaler la situation. Laisser les lions affamé se dévorer entre eux-mêmes. | | | MBCTV | | | Except Mr Gopee,the Pentecostalim movement is not a religion.It is a sect.ITs aim is to convert people by the so called baptism.In the case of Mauritius,Christianity has been around,from very much the beginning ,when human beings first beach on its shores.These kind of movements do not respect real feelings, religion,culture/sub cultures,country etc.Tolerance of other people's religion is the hallmark of Mauritius society.Mauritius does not need to be 'civilised' or brought to the 21st century by failed American movements that prey on people's weaknesses,material poverty etc.you do not need to be converted to live a free lifestyle,at least in Mauritius.Look what kind of damage that these kind of movements have done to the Native Americans,the Aborigenese of Australia.If they have too much money to spend they can build hospitals,schools in poverty stricken countries/societies,without having to convert/lure people etc.This kind of method dehumanise the person.At the end of the day the person does not recognize who he/she was.The tolerance attitude of Mauritians must not be abused or turned into a doormat. | | | wisdom | | | Would you not have time for this man.?Listen and learn sensible judgements and thus broaden our understanding of other religions. | | | sniper | | | Pandit Ved ena raison en plusieurs points. premierement bne jeunes aujourdhui bien plus tolerants ki nous banes ainés. nek guette pendant pelrinages a grand bassin ou bien pelrinage pere laval. Le mal qui ronge la communauté majoritaire a maurice est le fait ki pena 1 vrai leader ki raisonable ! L'hindouisme ti toujour 1 religion de tolerance et de non violence. | |
