#Hinduism, what is the substance and salience ? that what is Hindu and what isn’t ?
The shastras refer to this as, what is dharma and what is adharm, not everything in this world is sweet, so is not every idea in this world dharmic( an idea which guides you to knowledge. )
Let me use the shastras “ there are only two kinds of people, who tries to limit knowledge, one who is an idiot ( haven’t understood it ) and the other, who have half of it and is now blinded with ego of having learnt something, otherwise knowledge brings humility, stability yet inquiry, so he understands that the flow of knowledge is continuous and infinite, those who attempt to dwell in this, are dharmic rest are all adharmic.”
What is limiting of knowledge ?
It is to put boundaries to truth, by the use of a book or a divine being, so that inquires are contained and directed towards a particular narrative, which is declared as the ultimate truth, anything in this direction (that is an idea which Pre concludes and uses all facilities to justify the conclusion) is out rightly Adharmic or non Hindu, no matter what god they call is supreme or which book they make their reservoir of all truth, whether they dress like Indians or in some foreign attire. Whether they put a bindi or some other tika or wear a topi, it doesn’t matter. What matters isn’t the wrapping but the narrative the ideology, Hinduism is a beautiful open architecture, it’s like Internet, with its some authentication mechanism(called as Pramanana) , and churning mechanisms( shastrartath or debate ), both of which are lost today, and like Morden Internet, these firewalls were important to not let viruses and malware infiltrate our system.
Especially that debate mechanism, was very important and it can be revived, churning is very important, as it doesn’t let us settle and build beliefs. It keeps testing, us and our conclusions, which leads us to an unending and continuous flow of knowledge.
This honest churning, brings forth both poison and nectar in its distinct forms. and societies must let go the poison and drink the nectar. Those societies, individual or nations who runs away from the honest churning, they will always be in pain, even all the power, love and fortune, can’t elevate them but will be tools to wrench havoc on those who aren’t like them.
Now is a person following an inquiry based spiritual tradition in Africa a Hindu ?
Is a person following inquiry based spiritual tradition in Bali , South America, Europe or Jharkhand or Goa or Arunachal or Himachal a Hindu ?
the answer is yes, as vedas are Hindu,so are the puranas, so are the Agam Nigam shastras , so is the deshej parampara which varies every 20 km bit by bit, there are many Devtas in India itself, that aren’t recorded in vedas or tantra grantra , rather it is these devtas who reveal themselves,
through mantra one may even create devatas, so these cultures across the world might have real devatas, revealed to their ancestors, so this ideas are Hindu friendly or Hindu ideas, even a nastika who is a nastik but open to seek the truth even that is accepted in Hinduism but then the question arises what isn’t Hindu ?
Hindus are strictly not monotheistic, we reject the idea of one jealous god, yes we believe in one supreme Bramha or Ishwar, but that is not the number one but unity, what is exactly shown in the vishwaroopam of lord Vishnu or krishna, krishna says amongst the Pandava he is Arjuna, that means Arjuna is nothing but Krishna, Arjuna says I see you everywhere there is nobody else, this is what is samadhi Sthiti talked about in yog, the highest state which we are seeking, where we realise who we are, so our one Ishwar or Bramha isn’t number 1 but infinity (and the infinity is one, there is nothing beyond infinity, nothing before it, nothing after it ) that is why Hindu Ishwar is name less and form less cause all forms are his and all names are his but he doesn’t have a name or form, further the Das raj war was fought on the same ideology the dasus (Danavas) said that god is one person ( monotheism) and the devas said Ishwar is unity of everything and beyond, that is infinity. And in the end the devas won and instituted Hindu dharma ( don’t go on the semantics), and the proof that idea of one jealous god is inherently divisive, when you say you can worship only my god, then you have laid the foundation of hate against all those who differ or question your claim, and when you have enough power you will surely come down on eliminating your enemies, see how you ostracise anyone who differ to you beliefs. And same goes for the modern atheists moments or left liberals or communist and capitalist ideas they are all divisive cause they all have a fixed conclusion before hand and are trying to force feed the rest of the world their conclusions rather then inquire, and Why do they hate or can’t tolerate people who are different cause those idea are simply Asuric (Demonic).
