Sanatan Hindu Dharma – uttamhindu.com

Sanatan Hindu Dharma To understand the difference between me and other religions, the situation will become clear by reacting to two recent incidents. Slogans were raised not only for the beheading of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her comment on Lord Shiva, but Kanhaiya Lal of Udaipur and Umesh Kohle of Amravati, who came out in support of her, were killed. Nupur Sharma is under security cover and even after apologizing she is still on the target of Jihadis.

The second incident is of Bihar’s education minister, Chandra Shekhar’s comment on Ramcharit Manas. There is both opposition and support for what the minister has said. The recognition and importance of Ramcharit Manas in Hindu religion and society is not hidden from anyone, but neither the Nitish government has taken any step against Minister Chandrashekhar, nor RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav has taken any decision. There is no threat to them even from the point of view of security.
The above two incidents show how different your Hindu ideology, lifestyle and Hindu religion are from others. Even today in India, more than 80 percent people believe in Hindu religion. Despite this, one gets to see and read such statements and comments regarding Hindu religion and Hindu deities, which hurt the sentiments of Hindus.

The game of playing with the sentiments of Hindus is centuries old. This mess is sometimes done by negative forces within the Hindu society and sometimes by external forces. After all, what is the reason that even after all the above, Sanatan Hindu Dharma continues to flow like a calm and deep ocean, living in dignity.

Gopalji Gupta writes in his book ‘The Fundamental Foundations of Hinduism’, ‘Sanatan Hinduism has an inner ooze, it has some concepts, whose importance is the same for the whole of mankind. These are the concepts:- Image Unity of mankind-India is the only country where, rising above the boundaries of nationalism, there is a concept of understanding the entire human race as one, this is the specialty of Hinduism. There is a hymn in Rigveda-

Ayam Nij: Parovetti Ganana Laghuchetsam.
Liberal character, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Chhva Dharma Sambhava – This concept is the original concept of Hinduism. Man is desirous of attaining God. Different religions believe that only their religion is the best, while Hindu philosophy has always believed that there are different ways to reach God. No matter whom a man chooses, everyone will take him to God. Comes in Rigveda- Ekam sad vipra bahudha vadanti ‘Truth is one, scholars have given it various names’. In India, apart from Hindus, followers of many religions live together, but everyone’s places of worship, pilgrimages, deities are found here. Rishi-tradition was born in Kashmir from the mixture of Shaiva tradition and Sufi tradition, in which Hindus and Muslims all believe. This is a sign of religious nature. Divinity of Manav – Here, according to the traditional belief, there is a bundle of divinity in every person, whether he belongs to any religion, country, caste or society.

Hinduism says that every soul has the potential for spiritual growth, which ultimately merges with God. Image creative synthesis – Hindu Manisha has amazing ability of synthesis. The command of the Gita is paramount for a Hindu, according to which there is a synthesis of Karma-Jnana in devotion to God. The western world continued to consider matter and energy as separate, but Einstein proved it wrong. India’s concept is that there is only one power behind the entire creation – Ishavasyamidam sarvam yatkincha jagatyam jagat (Ishavasyopanishad-1/1) which means ‘Energy pervades the entire creation.’ Hinduism believes that religion and science are complementary to each other and are different paths to reach the same truth. Image Values ​​of the universe-Hindu religion handed over to the world a system of values ​​of the universe, which is timely in the modern context. The concept of millions of universes is there in Hindu religion, which has been accepted by science today (which used to be ridiculed by calling it imaginary). The concept of Shiva’s dance is in Hinduism, which says that every moment millions of earths and universes are destroyed and millions are created by Nataraja’s dance. The proof of this is the knowledge that we are getting from the exploration and research of space.

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan has written – “Hinduism has developed a broad liberalism instead of fanatical faith in any unshakable creed… Many sects that believe in many differences are under Hinduism… Hinduism is different from some other religions. Completely free from this strange obsession that acceptance of a particular religious philosophy is necessary for salvation and not accepting it is a heinous sin…”, In other words Hinduism is a flexible and superior religion. It is not orthodox like Islam or Christianity, where there is a belief of a prophet or an angel, and for whom Quran Sharif and New Testament (Bible) are the only scriptures respectively, in which Shari’a (code of conduct) is to be followed. It is not only their duty to follow the religion, but it is an essential condition to remain in that religion. In Hinduism, there is no recognition of any angel, no religion-promoter, nor any such single scripture, following whose code of conduct is the condition for all Hindus to remain in the religion. All Hindus are free to adopt any deity, deity, belief, creed. In relation to spiritual contemplation, Hinduism provides and encourages the freedom to adopt various paths to reach God. In other words, the worshiper can adopt whatever belief he wants. The only reason for this is that Hinduism has the capacity and the courage to accept every insight of human consciousness, because it believes that everything that happens on the cosmic plane is under the will of God. In this way a Hindu can believe and worship one or more gods and goddesses. There is no other religion in the world as much freedom and liberality in worship and tradition in Hindus. That’s why there is unity in diversity here. It is said in Rigveda-

Sangachchhdhwam Samvadhwam San Woh Manansi Jantaam.
Samaniv: Aakuti: Samana Hridayani V: Samanamastu, that mind as it is and: Sushasati.
,10/119/1)
That is, ‘Let all walk together, talk together, their minds be equal, their endeavors be together, their hearts be united, their minds be united, so that all may be happy.’
Unity in diversity and soul is a part of God and God can be attained only through Karma-knowledge. These are the qualities of Sanatan Hindu Dharma and this is also the reason for the weakness of Hindus for others.
