SaNaDaNa Dharma |

"SaNaDaNa Dharma" is the combination of two Sanskrit word ‘Sanadana’ and ‘Dharma’. Sanadana means ‘Consistent for ever” and meaning of Dharma is known to all. (Sanskrit is the language used by Hindu rishis to communicate many things in the form of slogans). It was not called as religion as there were no other principles followed by entire group of people other than this. ‘Hindu’ is the name given by the Persians to the people living beyond the Indus river. Whatever culture, beliefs, traditions and customs followed by the people was named as ‘Hinduism’ by them and the place as India (The actual name of India is ‘Bharath’, name of the brother of Lord Ram). So, it is evident that the original name of Hinduism is Sanadana Dharma.
Science is what you see, practice, prove, conclude and than believe. But in case of GOD it is other way round. First, we believe, practice and than see. What could have been there beyond Big bang or Multiverse. Modern Science does not have answer for it. But we can imagine that beyond big bang or before cosmic evolution there could be only Vacuum ( Soonyam). Lord SHIVA represents this vacuum who is always seen in the penance pose (Silent like Vacuum) in the portraits. As per science, the characteristic of any thing in the world will change if it remain in the same position for millions of years ( like carbon changes to Diamond) and so when vacuum remained so many years some pressure developed in it which is called as SAKTHI. When Pressure mingled with Vacuum or Sakthi mixed with Shiva, five elements such as Air, Land, Fire, Sky, water born due to Chemical reactions. That five nature elements are represented as Ganapathi ( Athipathi for 5 ganangal). Then to magnetic power that is represented as Kandan ( Lord Murugan). It evolved up to human beings from Ameba.
(Interestingly the computer codings has this principle. '0' is Sivam and '1' is Sakthi. Rest of all other things such as text, graphics, animation, sounds and motions are being formulated based on this only. These five elements can be considered as 'Ganangal'. Then to Internet like magnetic power in the universe which represents lord Muruga).
Besides two great epics to the world, the Ramayana and Mahabarata, Hinduism has many scriptures such as Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, Jothisya, Ayurvedha, Arthasasthra, Danur Vedha (Ayudha Sasthra), Gandharva Vedha ( Deals with 64 arts), Puranas ………and much more.
Today's science has found that there are so many universes and galaxies, which our rishis have learned & viewed in 'Gnathristy' and quoted as 'Andasarasarangal'. Whatever scientists accepts or proves today are discovered by our saints much more earlier, before the birth of science.
So, it is quite natural if people rave about Hinduism.
