This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it
has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within
and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why
it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first
book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell
-" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to
us from every direction".

ReplyDeleteThe hinduism and other religions holy books are universal none claims right on that, if you find substance in any religion you take that path to attain salvation . stop criticise which is greater or inferior, everything is superior if your introspection thinks so, it is mandatory to know the truth from the oral version of any one, analyse and apply definitely you may trek on the correct path to reach the ultimate, do not waste your time god is personal or impersonal, everything is at your door step, choose the divine path wholeheartedly almighty will assimilate you with him

ReplyDeleteSri Achuthan Raghavan has brought up a beautiful paraphrase of the Hindu; these are suitable to all who count; the believer, the theist ,atheist, the fake and the serious.. Actually Hinduism as we name it is not a hard bind treatise.. its the way of life and belief-whatsoever,that followed by the human race who abided between the Himalayas and the `Samudras ! The main objective being that of `Knowing the truth` of all that is perceived by the senses, the brain or the mind, its origin and the course of change and retreat to oblivion, and also what remains after the organism rots away.. And so its the most liberal way of finding the what is...! Thanks Achuthan Raghavan for bringing this to light.
