I never said they did I said your quote alluded that it was. Your quote clearly says jah rastfari comes from Hinduism. -

You didn't understand what you quoted and are too cowardly to admit it
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
-
"And even the holy salutation -- jah! Rastafari"
-
If you read the second paragraph,
It explains that the "Jah! Rastafari" salutation
Derives from Jai Bhagwan/Rama/Krishna/Kali chants,
Not that Jah itself is a Hindu word
Or that "Jah Rastafari" itself is the Hindu chant.
It even says Jah comes from the Old Testament. I don't see
How you could misunderstand that.
It says when Ras Tafari "gained the status" of ? King,
usage of Jai (Hindi, translation Victory) was continued
As "Jai! Ras Tafari", i.e. "Victory! Ras Tafari!"..
Jah replaced Jai and became "Jah! Rastafari", i.e. "? Ras Tafari" -
I really shouldn't be teaching you how to read
Without pay.

Now you raised the level of trolling -
This idiot doesn't understand how saying jah rastafari comes from jai bhagwan alludes to one taking from the other.

I'm not arguing against that. I acknowledge that it is an example
Of Hinduism's influence on Rastafari.
However, that doesn't "allude" to Jah being a Hindi word,
As you previously said. Again, nowhere does anybody say that Jah
Is a Hindi word. -

Yeah it does because when you allude to something you suggest something without directly saying it. -

Yeah but in this case, that isn't what happened.
It explicitly says Jah comes from the Old Testament,
Not the Hindi language.
Just that "Jah" replaced the Hindi word "Jai" in
The Ras Tafari chant, which was influenced
By the Hindu chants to Bhagwan, etc. -

Troll level one thousand.
Jah came from the o.t yet Rastafarians replaced jai with jah. -
Rasta didn't take their word or chants you are making the correlation equals causation fallacy again.
