212 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad catalogue of details. Niyoga Then, the third impurity that is the essence and flower of the Vedic teaching is niyoga. The details of this practice are that a woman can engage in intercourse with up to eleven men while her husband is still alive, right before him. If a hus- band and wife are young and after being married a few years have been unable to have children, a woman may have intercourse with another man so that she may impregnate herself with the sperm of another, because it is impossible for one to attain paradise without having children. Further, it is incumbent upon this wit- tol of a husband to provide excellent electuaries and fine tonics to the man who is giving the gift of his sperm, so that he does not tire or suffer from any weak- ness. Moreover, according to the Veda, the bedding, quilt and bed itself must be provided by the woman’s husband. Then, the husband who sends his wife to sleep with another man must be the one to provide him with food, and he will then take half of the children that are born of his seed. Just reflect! What sort of a husband is this, who sits in one room as a cuckold, while his wedded wife is bringing shame upon herself in the room next door? The Arya Samajist listens to the sounds of their movements, and his heart is joyed at the thought that now the field of his hope will bloom and flourish with this ‘water. ’ What a pitiful religion! Such injustice against God! Such injustice against honour and dignity. The Veda gives permission to indulge in such acts which even the most vile and impure of men would feel shame in committing. Dyanand has written that this shubh karam, i. e. blessed deed, was abandoned as time went on, but now the Aryas of India will revive this practice because this deed results in spiritual reward. I have no need to further prolong this discussion. An individual may consult for themselves the religious texts of the Arya Samajists and their doctrines; in fact, simply ask their revered leaders. I trust they will go on about the merits of this strange action with great pride. The Pure Teaching of Islam When all of these religions are put before us and their teachings and doctrines are properly investigated, one realises the need for Islam and the honourable nature of this religion. One is left with no choice but to acknowledge the great bounty
