முஹம்மது <= பவிஷ்ய புராணம்

As per Bhavishya Purana (Parva 3, Khand 3, Adhya 3, verses 5-6) that "An illiterate mleccha [foreigner] teacher will appear, Mahamada is his name, and he will give religion to his fifth-class companions." This does not describe much in regard to his life, but it does mention someone by the name of Mahamada, and what he was expected to do, which was to give his own form of religion to the lower classes of his region. Some people suggest this person to be Prophet Mohammed, and are, thus, most willing to accept that Prophet Mohammed was predicted in the Bhavishya Purana. Some Muslims then suggest that if he was predicted in this way by a Vedic text, then Hindus should all accept Mohammed and become Muslims. However, on the other hand, it would seem odd that Muslims would accept a Vedic text to try to convince Hindus to become Muslims. But if we look at the full translation of this story, they may not want to jump to the conclusion that this story represents Prophet Mohammed.

So here is the Roman transliteration of the Sanskrit in the Bhavishya Purana, however accurate it may be (Prati Sarga: Part III, 3.3.5-27).

Religion founded by Mahamada = Paisachyadharma ( Demoniac Religion)

பவிஷ்ய புராணத்தில் பின்வரும் சுலோகம் காணப்படுகிறது:

"ஏதஸ் மின்னந்தரே மிலேச்சர் ஆச்சார்யண ஸமன் வித மஹாமத் இதிக்கியாத"

சிஷ்ய சாகா ஸமன்விதம்.."

(பாகம் 3, சுலோகம் 3, சூத்திரம் 5-7)

இதன் பொருள்:
"அந்நிய நாட்டிலே ஒரு ஆசாரியார் (ஆன்மிக குரு) தம் சீடர்களுடன் வருவார். அவருடைய பெயர் மஹாமத் (முஹம்மத்)."

இதன் விரிவை ஸ்ரீ சுதாகோஸ்வாமி அவர்கள் கூறுவதை சற்று பார்ப்போம் சாலிவாகன அரச பரம்பரையின் பத்தாவது அரசரான போஜராஜா இப்புவியில் அதர்மத்தின் எழுச்சியை அடக்கி தர்மத்தை நிலைநாட்ட தன தளபதி களிடசனுடனும் போர்விரர்களுடன் சென்று கங்கையை கடந்து பலதேசங்களில் வென்று பெரும் செல்வதுடன் திரும்புகிறார் அவருடன் மிலேச்ச தர்மத்தை ஸ்தாபித்த மகாமாத் மற்றும் அவரை பின்பற்றுபவர்களுடன் பாலைவனத்தில் நடுவே இருந்த சிவபெருமானுக்கு பலவகை பொருட்களால் அபிஷேகம் புரிந்தார் அவரது பிரார்த்தனையை ஏற்றுகொண்ட எம்பெருமான் சிவன் அவரை வஹிக என்ற இடத்திற்கு செல்ல வேண்டாம் என்றும் அங்கே தர்மம் நிலைக்காது என்றும் அங்கே இருக்கும் மகாம்மத் திரிபுராசுரனின் மறு பிறவி என்றும் கூறுகிறார் இதன் பிறகு தன்னுடைய தேசத்திற்கு மகாம்மத் உடன் திரும்பும் போஜராஜா சிந்து நதி கரையை அடைந்த பொழுது மகாம்மத் இவ்வாறு கூறுகிறார் அரசரே உங்கள் கடவுள் என்னுடைய அடிமை நான் உண்டவற்றின் மீதத்தை உண்பதை பாருங்கள் என்று மாய காட்ச்சியை உருவாக்கி போஜராஜனை கலக்க முறை செய்கிறார் மகாம்மத் இதனை கண்ட காளிதாசன் கீழானவனே பொய்யான தோற்றத்தின் மூலன் எங்கள் அரசனை குழப்பத்திற்கு ஆட்படுத்துகிறாய் உன்னை கொன்றுவிடுவேன் என எச்சரிக்கிறார் பிறகு மகாம்மாத் தன புதிய மதம் ஸ்தாபிக்க போவதாகவும் அதனை பின்பற்றுபவர்கள் தங்கள் பிறப்புறிப்பினை சேதம் செய்து கொள்வார்கள் நீண்ட தடி கொண்டவர்களாக ஒலி எழுப்புபவர்களாகவும் மிருக இறைச்சி உண்பவர்களாகவும் இருப்பனர் என கூறுவதாகவும் இந்த பகுதி விளக்குகிறது

இதில் மகாம்மத் மிலேச்சா என குறிக்க படுகிறது இதன் அர்த்தம் என்ன

மிலேச்சன் :-

Translation

Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the dynasty of King Shalivahana, there were ten kings who went to the heavenly planet after ruling for over 500 years. Then gradually the morality declined on the earth. At that time Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions of his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas, shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He punished them and collected a large ammount of wealth. Then the king went along with Mahamada (Muhammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. After he offered some prayers and pleased him.

 Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasura), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified.Hearing this the king came back to his country and Mahamada(Muhammad) came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada(Muhammad) “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest…”

That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada(Muhammad) appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja and said: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back to his palace and that ghost(Muhammad) went back to his place.

The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the language of Sanskrit in three varnas – the brahmanas, kshatriyas and vaisyas – and for the shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common men. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet. The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods. The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu.

On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of Isamsiha were also situated as they were managed by a king or demigods.

Note This

Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terriblecountry there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasur), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost.

According to Bhavishya Purana Muhammad was the rebirth of Tripurasura the Demon. Tripurasura was killed by Shiva in his(Tripurasura’s) past life.

Tripurasura’s Past life (Mythology[not from bhavishya purana])

Tripurasur was the son of Sage Gritsamad. One day the sage sneezed and from this was created a young boy who the Sage brought up as his own son. The sage taught the boy the Ganana Twam, Ganesh Mantra. Equipped with this mantra the boy meditated intensely on Lord Ganesh who ultimately blessed him. He was given three pura-s of gold silver and iron. Since he was the owner of these three pura-s he was given the name Tripur. Ganesh also bestowed on Tripur to be the most powerful, who none but Lord Shiva himself could destroy and after being destroyed by Lord Shiva he would attain mukti-salvation.

This boon made Tripur proud and he brought havoc in the entire world. He conquered the Nether world and then proceeded to takeover Heaven. He defeated Indra the king of heaven. His aggression made Lord Brahma hide in a lotus and Lord Vishnu in the Shirsagar. He soon also took over Lord Shiva’s Kailash Parvat and thus became the King of all the three worlds. The gods wondered on how to vanquish Tripurasur. Lord Narada told them that, since he had been granted a boon by Lord Ganesh himself it would be very difficult to vanquish him. He advised them to meditate on Lord Ganesh. Pleased Lord Ganesh decided to help the Gods.

Disguised as brahmin he visited Tripurasur and told him that he was a very enlightened Brahmin and could make for him three flying planes. Riding these he woud be able to go anywhere he wished within minutes. The planes could only be destroyed by Shiva.In return Lord Ganesh asked him to get him the statue of Chintamani which was at the Kailash Mountain. Lord Shiva refused to give the statue to Tripurasur’s messenger. The angry Tripurasur himself went to get the statue. A fierce battle started between him and Lord Shiva. He destroyed everything that belonged to the Lord Shiva who too retired to the Girikandar.
Lord Shiva too realized that he was unable to destroy Tripurasur because he had not paid his respects to Lord Ganesh. He recited the Shadaakshar Mantra to invoke Ganesh. On doing so from his mouth emerged Gajanan to grant Shiva a boon. Shiva continued his invocation of Ganesh who ultimately directed him on how Tripurasur could be killed. Lord Shiva was asked to recite the Sahastranam and then direct an arrow at the three pura-s of Tripurasur. Lord Shiva followed these instructions and finally vanquished Tripurasur.

The place where Lord Shiva invoked Lord Ganesh he also created a temple for him. The town surrounding this temple was called Manipur. The village Ranjangaon is considered to be the place where Lord Shiva himself sought the blessings of Ganesh and ultimately destroyed Tripurasur.

This prayer (chalisa) praises the Lord Shiva (Related to Tripurasura killing)

Tripurasur sang yuddha machayi,
sabahin kripa kari leen bachayi.

By fighting and killing the Demon Tripurasur,
You forgave everybody and saved the Gods.
