Was Rastafari Started By Leonard Howell ? | Ras Flako Tafari | B.H.N.T.D Podcast Ep.4 

What has stood out to me hear is we of the faith, we need to hear from elders like this and their knowledge chronicled into books so we the younger generation know more of the history.

Don't matter how you try to hide the truth, it will still come out. Rasta used to burn fire on free masons but Marcus Garvey was a free mason.

So true.

@M Bailey I think you misunderstood me. Let me make this clear. Seeing you have this forum...YOU need to use your forum and other means and get this information in book or other form; these videos, etc in a museum. Work with the government body who is responsible. What you are doing on your show is precious and YOU not someone else; YOU need to do this.

Bloodclaat your comment is gold.

It’s is. The book is called The First Rasta by Ms. Lee

And is all lies?... Haile Selassie wasn't no rasta nor was this man Leonard Howell started the movement.

East Indian?

That book is amazing. I read it myself and was absolutely blown away. Makes everything make so much sense. Jah Live Jah Guide

"Chillum" is a Hindi word. It was undoubtedly taken form that language. Veganism is unknown in Africa historically.

Universal and international faith, for all nations and all peoples of the earth. Equal rights and Judgment, RASTAFARI I.

I knew he loved in Harlem but never knew of this. Give thanks.

True

The Red Lense, the correct spelling is Collie herb and it has no connection with Hindus.

@@househead67 not according to Flako, watch the video, he talks about hindu influences in Rastafari culture and practices.

Yes I

The Indian influence of herbs is not central to being a Rasta. It is more important to sight up Haile Selassie the Afrikan King and to know divine Afrikan self. Rastafari is here to free blak ppl whether you smoke herb, eat ital or not.

Go to the Gleaner better yet buy Bill Howell 's book. Will soon write mi e sell it to cover costs. These Nyahbinghi dunces must stop chattin folli. Brother Hines n Leonard Percival Howell the only two. Nect Brother Dunkley n Hibbdrt lodge men fewer than 20 persons in their group. Brother Hines is an old Bedwardite who joined with Dada Howell was on 2 counts of sedition against the crown with Howell jailed with Howell. Dada Howell rest at Dovecott front space. Bob Marley neva met Howell neva Rastafari just Christian. Tuff Gong = the prison name of Leonard Percival Howell because the state jailed him over 60 times as Marley why they took his name without him and his family's permission.

@@sistarhodesh5039 🇯🇲 Well, si yah now, disyah statement ah wah mi did ah chat bout. Even among di ones and ones widin Rastafari Movement there are areas of disagreement about the past, and as you can see the present trod of Rastafari. Rastafari need to find shelter under one roof. 🇯🇲

Research, research & research!

@@sistarhodesh5039 sister de I didn't read the whole article but I noticed you cover something which is extremely important about Bedwood because Howell. as a boy and a member of Bedwood Church in August Town who sited Rastafarian and mentioned on several occasions about his majesty shall be crowned I look towards Africa as a great king all of that came from Bedwood so also must be noted that Marcus Garvey attended Bedwood church as a boy his mother was a deacon in the church nothing of that was ever mention so one must recognize that the entire Rastafari movement stem from Alexander T Bedwood via Howell and Pinnacle and the whole nine and it's sad ,to see Marcus Garvey , gets all the credit ,when in fact he truly has nothing to do with the entire movement seem adopted what do you heard from Bad Blood and something wishes must be noted about Alexander T Bedwood, at the time on Sunday's he drew 30,000 people every week at the church in August Town, and to think a man without social media without radio could a mass that much amount of people and to see that he was penalize ostracize and betrayed namely by a member taking out a holy sacrament and take to the Catholic church and... because he also said that if the Queen .. Queen Victoria come to Jamaica, Her head would roll ....so they're charging Seditious Treason.. some and the rest of the story I got a like y tenacity and one day I'm going to come get a copy of your book and actually sit into exactly what you're saying because you need to correct those people think they know and have no clue as to what goes on. Thank you again sister Hodesh Ps,, sadly there's actually nothing written on Alexander T Bedwood there is a book which says there are two prominent jamaican philosopher one is Alexander T Bedwood who is tried and sentences as a Lune and the others Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the rest of the book was written on Marcus .. so people need to know exactly the power Alexander T BedWoom had also went to Panama and he's only living person or person who ,thee oral history spread throughout the world ,on him and literally there's nothing written and it's sad that the generation that past never recorded all of that Bobby hill unclaimed world going to end of you all had to get Bedwood words story . but nobody actually did and it's better than the archive off imagination ... On the Daye Alexander T Bedwood was was arrested at Hope Gardens gate he was marching down where they were it's a sad that the 50,000 people with marching from August town He told everybody that he be arrested at that's on the morning on where you be arrested and on the day of his trial he was not allowed to say anything he was muzzle charge and sentence has a Loon and what is sad that even when somebody is sentenced to hang they have a last word and he was not given an opportunity to speak at all back then lunacy was a massive crime and that's all they used to shut people up is also said there was some American Baptist preacher had some affiliate with his church in August Town also

@@alphaecka1949 🇯🇲 Thanks for your contribution. Are these information documented anywhere, or just passed down orally? I really noticed for a while that the Rastafari boat a rock. Time to throw the life boats over board - people deh deh fi rescue. Now as wi can all see the onion a peel to cement the fact that the Rastafari Movement, beyond the recognition of the Spirituality associated to Haile Selassie I, Reggae music, ganja, and dreadlocks, but most importantly, in my opinion, it was, and still is a Black Power Movement with a Livity of nonconfomity to the colonial influences of the days past and present.🇯🇲

Haile Selassie is a fraud, all haile Selassie do is came and create the league of nations which is now called the UN that's "reinforcing" this new world order policy, and claim that he the third coming of Christ (cristos), a Messiah because he related to some Spanish king named Jesus (because nobody in that era they alluding to was ever named Jesus, he is a fictional character the roman Catholic church made up and the Catholic king had admitted to this) that he and alleged Queen Elizabeth are descendants of. Who has he saved? What had he done besides having people worshipping him.. Yow you know what Haile Selassie was doing to those Ethiopians, the man was so evil that the Ethiopians had to over throw him because was selling them out British, starving them and overworking them while under martial law. Haile Selassie is no god.

Chad ChaChaBwoi Sorry but haile DID NOT want to be the king he was a Christian! The rastas said he was the second coming if Christ. He did NOT want that! You information is not correct. He was a good man in His position and did what he could for mankind.

@@kmm291+ yow ask the Ethiopians their opinion of hails Selassie and contrast their perspective with your opinion and see if it adds up. Haile Selassie was a tyrant (,did the Ethiopians like how allegedly Hitler did Jews ironically being a Jew himself) and he sold out to the British, matter a fact he a blood relative to the quean Elizabeth over there, haile Selassie claimed the title of god, because in the bible I believe there is anagram of his name as the new world god and that's was his evidence... To reiterate haile Selassie wasn't even a black, how the heck he to be the 2nd too (when in fact in actuality he'd be the third, because Muhammad was 2nd in the book of Torah, but let's go along with y'all "misconception" from ignorance because don't do y'all own independent research) if Jesus did not exist. The only two known Jesus historical dated of what they sourcing from, is a Spanish king name Aesus (the letter j did not exist before the 14the century, so his English name of this bastardized language would be Jesus as its "Spanish" not even Arabic, lol, which Spanish was created in the 12th century from Latin and mixture of American Indian) that haile Selassie is descendant of and a urban legend of a slave ship named Jesus that was apart of the fleet of ships with Santana Maria etc.

@@chad7554 you are so very confused likkle bwoi. His Imperial Majesty did NOT create the league of nations go read a real book and stop rely pon RU-vid. H.I.M. Haile Selassie created the O.A.U. which became the African Union as it is today. This was greatly influenced by both Marcus Garvey and our Counselor Leonard P. Howell. You're trolling now...come off the post and go look something upful to do.

@@chad7554 again confusion. Some Ethiopians who were in a Tribal mind state as what is happening now were against His Majesty. H.I.M. was attempting to progress not only Itiopia but Africa on a whole as H.I.M. was aware that invaders and their nations were gaining more power through Colonialism. H.I.M. sought to advance Itiopia and nations who belonged to the African Union which he founded (not the league of nations as you've lied about in your earlier and ignorant response) to ensure we were not left behind economically. It's crabs like you who are still in a Tribal state of mind who keep us weak and unable to defeat the oppression of Global White Supremacy due to your sickness of an unclean spirit named, 'badmind grudgeful and envy'.

Thanks brethren

What books can I pick up to study more on these subjects

The flag is just "💚💛❤"

@M Bailey sure and u guys do a great job! Reappropriation of people's culture where u start to build a strong future! Jah bless bredren and sistren

I wish you can show me some reference where to go to some proofs that early hindu or ancient indians were vegetarians,because I have Muslim indian friend who he thinks allah created us above animals so we can eat dem omg..so once upon a time indian muslims were hindu point blank.

Not true...Yes, they were vegetarian largely however, they ate meat and fish for certain ailments and some also did on special occasions...Jains are the only.people who follow vegetarianism to the letter...Hindus and Buddhists eat meat on occasion...Buddhists only do not when offered and only of it hasn't been killed specifically foe them to eat...

Would be interesting if anyone can share some credible references on this topic...

only the sheeks eat meat, hindu are vegans,

Bless up to all the true Sikhi. One Love.

The Promised Key, G.G. Maragh/Rasta to Resistance, Horace Campbell/From Babylon to Rastafari, Douglas R.A. Mack

true!

I give thanks. I n I will chant the new name, Haile Selassie as RASTAFARI. In this name powers the fire light of humanity and the system for the Trinity of Wombman, Man and Child. Bless you

Rastafari never started in Chicago.

@@osakatales9228 It did, it is documented, your opinion notwithstanding. Some people just can't handle the truth.

@@siphiwebaleka3303 Give me a source, since my "opinion" is notwithstanding and some people can't handle the truth.

@@osakatales9228 It's all documented in Come Out of Her My People! 21st Century Black Prophetic Faith and Pan African Diplomacy, Volumes 1-5. app.thebookpatch.com/BookStoreResults?search=COME%20OUT%20OF%20HER,%20MY%20PEOPLE!%2021ST%20CENTURY%20BLACK%20PROPHETIC%20FAITH%20AND%20PAN%20AFRICAN%20DIPLOMACY&ddl=any Meanwhile, I just gave you the Jamaican Daily Gleaner, November 23, 1940, where Leonard Howell said, that "After my travels and subsequent return to the United States, I became attracted to the Ras Tafarites and afterwards returned home to Jamaica to preach its tenants." This is the information age. Google Grover Redding and the Star Order of Ethiopia and Reverend Webb. Don't be lazy.

@@siphiwebaleka3303 Since it's coming like I'm talking to a fucking bumboclat idiot. 1. The volume books were published in 2018 and written by someone who was trying to repatriate the Rastafari community to Ethiopia from 2000 to 2007, which doesn't have anything to do with the past. 2. I already searched for the Jamaican Gleaner article from 1940, there's nowhere that says that. Howell was in prison by that time and had deported in 1932, I searched and found that he was only in New York with Garvey. 3. There's barely enough evidence about that relating to Rastafari, all there is, is a newspaper from 1920 talking about the so-called organization lead by a white leader who killed two people and injured several people in a riot. 4. There's only a Reverend Thomas Webb who died during the 19th century. You're telling me not to be lazy, but I had looked it up previously and found absolutely nothing from your little sham. Yeah, it's the information age you dumbass, but it doesn't mean anyone can't change the information as well.

Blessup guys......much love to you.........

It gets deeper wait till you find out more about Haile Selassie's travels and education as a boy. There is a vid with a Guru from India speaking on it on RU-vid. Bless

👍💕

@Nowe Hadi. Thank You for those references...

SoundScientist1 thanks and praise to the Jah Rastafar I.

I know the first book you mentioned (Rasta & Resistance by Horace Campbell), and I must say that it is a text devoid of spirituality and often inserts propaganda, and it looks more like a communist book than a spiritual book. For me, buying that book is bad money.

Giovanni Bless Rastafari isn’t just a spiritual movement for African people. It is primarily a resistance movement. So yes although it may seem like a communist book to you it’s actually very important to note that Rastafari dwells in resistance.

Enjoy 👊🏿

@arrh eye Ras is the title he was given. His birth name is (Lij) Tafari Makonnen. Then given the name Haile Selassie I (Might Of The HolyTrinity) when he became the Emperor of Ethiopia. Haile Selassie was his baptized name as a child as well . The I was added after HIM became Emperor being the first King with this name. Blessed.

Rastafari movement started 2nd November 1930. Simple tings. Tafari Makonnen was born 23rd July 1892. We must be able to tell the difference. HIM was not born as a Ras.

Before 1892, there were Rasses in ancient Kemetic societies all over the globe.

Thank you for the information. It’s very interesting.

Solar Minty give thanks and praise. can’t state how much I appreciate your words. I would also include reggae music to that list.

I give thanks

Rastafari got their locks from the Mau Mau who fought against the British in Kenya in the late 40’s early 50’s. They grew them in solidarity with their brothers in Kenya. Locks in Rastafari is influenced by Afrikans not Indians.

Where can I read this?

@@kingpleasure7538 I got the book, when I go through my book collection I'll get you name of the Author. In the meantime look up Indus valley Civilization...

also dreadlocks came crom the indians. their god shiva had dreadlocks and it is written that hindus must never cut there hair... haile selassi and marcus garvey were not dreadlocks or ital

Indians def brought erb and the dreads

@B they brought herbs over yes but not locks. Locks came from the Mau Mau who were fighting the British in Kenya in the late 40’s early 50’s. Rastafari grew their hair in solidarity with their brothers. Indians absolutely did not bring locks to Rastafari.

@@solarscience5815 look up Lord Shiva and the Indian holy men called Sadu, their been wearing dreads for over 3,000 years.

@George Andrews your comment is irrelevant to how Rastafari was inspired to grow locks. Even the bredrin in the video doesn’t say what you’re trying to imply.

@George Andrews So what. What’s that go to do with how it start in Rastafari?
