Ramanathan : Appreciate your effort to prove that Sanadana and Hinduism is the same, but its an assumtion that Sanadana Dharma was later called as Hinduism.
The word Hindu does not reflect anywhere in any of the ramayanas or mahabarata editions that i have read. Even in the latest book by bangar - there is no mention of hindus.
so in my opinion hindus as a terminology must have come in the last 1000 or lesser years... a period when sanadana dharma almost was consumed in time and its essence was reflecting in more codified religions like - budhism, jainism, adi shakara chariya's teaching, jesus's preachings and the likes of mahabarata and ramayana.
So today to come and say bombay-mumbai and sanadana- hinduism is not acceptable.
The sad fact is NOT many who follows this religion even know it, but they keep hailing for hinduism! Ignorance of one's true roots is what sadly the state!
When I said Sanadana dharma is the mother of various religions - You assumed that I meant Hinduism was an off shoot!!! I didnt say that! I firmly beleive many religions formed in the last 2500 years and that are thriving today where formed as off shoots of Sanadana Dharma.
You have missed the essence of what I had writted on the earlier posting.
they are
1. Ignorance of one's roots leads to ignorance of the purpose of religion.
2. The true essence of any religion is to merge with the source. To be able to stirve to experience the presence of the divine in each of us.. only man has the ability to be concious of the divine's presence in us, other beings cannot. so its our only priviledge to experience the divinity in our self and stay connected with the all pervading existancial force as much as possible...
3. most people are not even aware of the above - leave alone striving to understand and live by it. but these ignorants rave for their religion, without understanding the purpose.
the above is the essence of my earlier posting - that was missed and details are highlighted in this topic.
I have my endevour to do my bit in this lifetime to educate the society as much as i can to bring the essence of any religion and guide people thru my writing on why "spirituality is not for a select few - but is a way of life". In this life time, i will play my role in educating a segment of this society with my writing to dispel the above mentioned ignorance. will need some years to pen my thoughts on this subject ...
cheers
