Read what you quoted. I said jah is not hindi because what you quoted alluded to people replacing words/using hindi words.
It says Jah is phonetically similar to the Hindi word Jai
Not that Jah is a Hindi word.
You said Jah is not a Hindi word
But nobody said it was.
Read all of what you quoted ? you are being blatantly dishonest. -
Your other source get it's information from an east Indian author therefore it's biased
Where is the bias being shown?
Before you answer, look at the definition of the word bias
Because I don't think you know what the word means.
-
Read all of what you quoted ? you are being blatantly dishonest.
It says exactly what I said it does.
it obviously isn't registering for you yet.No jamaicans or even other west indian people on this forum agree with you and Rastafarianism is part of our culture so we are the most qualified to speak on it. Not some African American Buddhist who has never been to Jamaican or been to a groundation.
I don't know ya'll.
Nor do I care about what's popular.
Neither you nor anyone else has said anything
To discredit what's been said so I guess
We can leave it at that until it happens. -
You don't understand the cultural friction between blacks and coolies in the west Indies of course a coolie is going to claim they influenced something they had next to nothing to do with because they favor their group and look down on blacks especially the coolies of mansingh generation. -

I discredited your ? long ago and I wasn't the only one. What hasn't registered to you yet is the meaning of the word alluded -
Burger King fell off. These ? was GOAT. I joined they club and got hella stickers & crayons and ? for 3 months. -

Everything isn't always black and white.
Why did a black man adopt a Hindu name?
besides, Mansingh isn't the only one who said what he did.
Joseph Hibbert, another founding father of Rastafari, acknowledged the Hindu influence on Leonard Howell in an interview with Leonard Howell’s biographer Helene Lee.

What hasn't registered to you yet is the meaning of the word alluded
It means to make an indirect reference (to something)
What here is being indirectly referenced?
All you did was misread.
Nowhere did it say Jah is a Hindi word.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt
And assume you're trolling -
Some Chinese people have English names it just means they like the name.
An influence on one man doesn't translate to the whole movement because in the first place Joseph hibbert didn't create Rasta. -

Lol Chinese take on English names
For practicality's sake.
This is a tad different.
Howell adopting that name was clearly
More than that.
Joseph Hibbert, though,
Was a founding father of the movement.
He acknowledged the influence on Howell,
Who played a major part in the development
Of Rastafari. So who am I to believe?
Hibbert, or you? -

I'm thinking the same.
How about you explain what you mean? -

Hibbert didn't create Rasta and one man talking a nickname doesn't mean anything the actual theology of rasta has nothing to do with Hinduism -
If you quote something and don't understand the implications of what it is saying then I cannot help you
-
Hibbert didn't create Rasta
I didn't say he did.
I said he was a founding father of the movement.
A founding father doesn't necessarily create.one man talking a nickname doesn't mean anything
Seems as if it does.
-
If you quote something and don't understand the implications of what it is saying then I cannot help you
In other words, you can't
Because you don't know what
You're talking about.
I'm not going to continue to go back and forth with
Someone who doesn't even understand
The words they're using. -
It seems that way to you and no one else .
if hibbert didn't create any of the sects of rasta which you admit then what his nickname was is irrelevant to rasta -

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

Hibbert is not Howell.
You're confusing the two. -

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 ? -King;
the sacramental use of ? , 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 ? /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 -
If really doesn't even matter neither of them injected Hinduism into rasta and there is no proof that they did. The only thing you have done is prove they knew about other religions and had nicknames -

You alluded to jah Rastafar I being a replacement for Hindu gods. -
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 Hindi word.
Of course it isn't. Please bold
Where someone said that it is.
