Newsweek, June 6, 1977, pg. 13 are simply distorting Csoma’s scientific objectivity. Such statements served the interest of the Habsburg Dynasty which had oppressed all attempts which raised the national pride in Turanian heritage. This is why up until today and again under foreign occupation there was forced upon us the “Finn-Ugor” theory.10 When Csorna ventured on his last journey so vigorously at the age of 58 he knew that in Lhasa addition documents were waiting for him. After so many years of his relationship with his Lama teacher he obviously knew what to expect. He was often delayed by circumstances, but never missled. When the famous Indian poet Rabindranth Tagore (1861-1941) visited Hungary he said: “Two thousand years ago the ancestors of the Magyars and those of mine lived together on the same soil and the memories of this created a deep spiritual relationship. It is my great desire to see the people, to be spiritually united with them, whose fathers once met my fathers in the Great Orient. I feel I am visiting my relatives!”11 Körösi Csorna Sándor spiritually united with the Turanian people! He lived with them, he rests with them! His grave is a monument which every true Hungarian would like to visit! Some have done so. In 1926 István Béla Ladoméry visited Darjeeling and placed a placque on Csoma’s grave from the Hungarian Boy Scouts in Australia who carry his name. At that time Mr. Ladoméry found only one man who remembered Körösi Csorna and that person was “Tensing”, a Serpa of Turanian descent. Tensing is remembered for climbing the Himalayas with Sir Edmund Hillary and was the first to set foot on top of Mount Everest. But he remained only Tensing not even Mr. Norkay. Tensing is only his first name.12 In 1835 Csorna finally received the recognition he deserved. Against all odds he has opened up for the scientific world the Tibetian language and literature and made possible the study of Northern Buddhism. The financial support he received was much less than a British colonial official would waste in one day. This added to the hardships he encountered. At times he was even detained or inconvenienced because some ignorant officials thought he might be carrying out his assignment for some political motives. One can easily see that Csorna was an apostle of a noble mission to search for every piece of information that would bring him close to the relations of the Magyars! After years of hard work in the selfimposed prison of the library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Csorna once more resumed his travels. In 1842 he left Calcutta to continue his work in Lhassa Tibet. Csorna never reached his destination. At his stop in Darjeeling he became ill and on April 11, 1842 died. The Asiatic Society of Bengal received the news with great despair. By this time everyone knew what a loss Csoma’s death was to the entire scientific community of the world. To express their grief the following epitaph was displayed on his grave: 13 n ‘ n H. J. ALEXANDER CSOMA DE KÖRÖS A NATIVE OF HUNGARY WHO, TO FOLLOW OUT PHILOLOGICAL RESEARCHES RESORTED TO THE EAST AND AFTER YEARS PASSED UNDER PRIVATIONS SUCH AS HAVE BEEN SELDOM ENDURED \AND PATIENT LABOUR IN THE CAUSE OF SCIENCE \ COMPILED A DICTIONARY AND GRAMMAR OF THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE HIS BEST AND REAL MONUMENT. ON HIS ROAD TO LHASSA TO RESUME HIS LABOURS HE DIED AT THIS PLACE ON THE iiTM APRIL 1842 AGED 58 YEARS HIS FELLOW-LABOURERS THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL INSCRIBE THIS TABLE TO HIS MEMORY REQUIESCAT IN PACE Csorna knew that his work was just the start. He understood the importance of further investigation into the vast ocean of the cultural splendor that the Turanian peoples produced in times immemorial. In one of his letters which he sent to Transsylvania he urged the Magyar youth to: “Seek and search because not a single other nation on this earth will be able to uncover so much treasure to the benefit of their own culture as the Magyar realm in the store house of the Ancient Hindu cultural remains. ”14 The whole world will slowly come to realize the Legacy of Csorna de Kőrös! Although Rudyard Kipling, the author of Gunga Din once Körösi Csorna Sándor útja Nagyenycdtől Dardzsilingig. Az utat vastag vonal - vizen szaggatott vonal - jelzi. A térkép Csorna korának földrajzi és politikai viszonyait tünteti fel expressed the belief that: “East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet . . .” — the Székely Csoma’s genious opened the golden gate on the “top of the world” so that the Twain Shall Meet!! It is not at all strange that in the Orient his name became most respected and sacred. The The Turanian Japanese people canonized the Magyar Csorna as a Buddhist saint, a “Bodhisattva” in 1933, and his sculptural image (which was created by the talented Hungarian sculptor Géza Csorba) solemnly sits in the temple of the Tokyo Buddhist University.15 Lately all over the world on the five continents Körösi Csorna Sándor Societies are springing up among the diaspora of Hungarian immigrants. In Europe these societies plead for the Freedom for Transsylvania — the birth place of Körösi Csorna. In South America some search for truth in history and languages. In Canada they build the Magyar Ház. In Australia Csorna Scholarships are established and in the USA the Political Integrity and the Spiritual Truth, Justice and the Renewed Brotherhood of the Turanian Peoples is sought. Yet in the present Judeo-Soviet Hungary not a single monument is allowed to stand publicly of the True Legacy of Alexander Csorna de Kőrös! FOOT NOTES: 1.
