Interesting development in India.

A pamphlet containing the following was distributed at a mosque in Chicago: PROPHET MOHAMMED (PBUH) IN HINDUISM. Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, a Hindu professor, in his stunning book claims that the description of the "Avatar" found in the holy books of the Hindu religion, matches the Holy Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). Recently in India, a fact-revealing book has been published. The Book has been the topic of discussion and gossip all over the country. If the author of this book were a Muslim, he probably would have been arrested or murdered. Perhaps all copies of this book would have been confiscated. Maybe, even a ban would have been extended. A riot and violence would have broken out against innocent Muslims and their blood would have been shed.

Amazingly the author of this book, Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay,is a learned and famous Hindu professor. The book is Kalki Avatar. Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay is a Hindu Brahmin of Bengali origin. He is a research scholar at Allahabad University. After years of research, he published this book, and no less than eight pundits have endorsed and certified his points of argument as authentic. According to Hindu belief, the Hindu world awaits "the guide and leader", named Kalki Avatar. However, the description as given in the Holy Scriptures of the Hindu points only to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) of Arabia. These are the facts verified and supported by eight other eminent pundits. What the author says is that Hindus, who are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kalki Avatar, are simply subjecting themselves to never ending pain because such a great messenger has already arrived and departed from this world fourteen centuries ago.

The author produces the following sound evidences from the Vedas and other holy books of the Hindu religion in support of his claim:
1. In the Puranas (Hindu scriptures), it is stated that Kalki Avatar would be the last messenger of God in this world. He would be for guidance of the whole world and all human beings.
2. According to a Hindu religion prediction the birth of Kalki Avatarwould take place in an isle, which again according to Hindu religion is Arab Region.
3. In books of Hindus, the names of the father and the mother of Kalki Avatar are given as VISHNUBHAGAT and SUMAANI respectively. If we examine the meaning of these names we shall come to some very interesting conclusion: VISHNU (meaning God) + BHAGAT (meaning Slave). Slave of God "DULLAH” (in Arabic) is the name of Prophet's (PBUH) Father. SUMAANI (meaning peace or calmness). Amina (in Arabic means peace) is the name of Prophet's (PBUH) Mother.
4. In the religious books of Hindus, it is mentioned that the staple food of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most honest and truthful person in the region. Without any doubt the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is acclaimed to possess these qualities.
5. It is stated in Vedas (holy book of Hindu Religion) that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honourable clan. This perfectly fits the Quraysh where Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) belonged to.
6. God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger (angel) in a cave. Allah taught Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) through His messenger Jibraeel(Gabriel) in a cave known as Ghaar-e-Hira.
7. God would provide Kalki Avatar with a very speedy horse to ride and travel the whole world and the seven skies. Indication of burraq (horse)and Me'raaj (the night when Prophet [PBUH] travelled the seven(skies).
8. God would provide Kalki Avatar with divine help. This was particularly proved in the Battle of Uhud. Another dazzling account given about Kalki Avatar was that he would be born on the 12th of a month. Whereas the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was born on the 12th of Rabbi ul Awwal(Hijra Calendar)  
9. Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and a swordsman. The author here draws the attention of Hindus that the real days of horses and swords have gone and the present time of guns and missiles. So it would be foolish on the part of those who still expect Kalki Avatar, who should be an excellent rider and swordsman to come.

In fact, the Divine book, the Holy Qur'an, contains qualities and signs attributed To Kalki Avatar reflecting on the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). The author has given numerous arguments in favour of his claim that Kalki Avatar is in fact Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and those who still await the arrival of Kalki Avatar should not waste time!!!  The Hindus of the whole world should not wait any longer for the Arrival of Kalki Avatar (the spirit) and should readily accept Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as Kalki Avatar.

There is no evidence, information or news whether the esteemed Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay or any of the eminent Eight Pundits who verified this document have converted to Islam or not.

Let's not get too excited here.

According to Hinduism, Avatar means reincarnation.  Kalki Avatar is the Kalki reincarnation of "Lord Vishnu".  Each of these Avatars is supposed to be God incarnate, na odhoo billah.

Also, there are already some contenders to be Kalki Avatar, notably
Sathya Sai Baba.  This is a man who considers himself to be God :

"In truth you cannot understand the nature of My Reality, either today, or even after a thousand years of steady austerity or ardent inquiry, even if all mankind joins in that effort.   But, in a short time, you will become cognizant of the Bliss showered by the Divine Principle which has taken upon itself this sacred body and this sacred Name. Your good fortune, which will provide you this chance, is greater than that which was available for anchorites, monks, sages, saints, and even personalities embodying facets of Divine Glory.  
Do not allow doubt to distract you; if only you will install in the altar of your heart steady faith in My Divinity, you can win a vision of My Reality."

Now maybe a long time ago Avatar meant messenger or reformer, but its meaning has been corrupted into reincarnation of God.  So my take on this is that this is more likely an attempt by Hindus to justify Hinduism from an Islamic point of view.  For if one agrees that Muhammed (SAW) is the Kalki Avatar, then one beleieves in all the previous Avatars.

Just my two cents.
