Founder of Hinduism

Hinduism was never founded by one. Indus River divides the Indian Peninsula from the Mediterranean region. The followers of Islam... who repeatedly attacked India from the West used to cross the Indus River before entering India. The always pronounced H for I! With passage of time they started calling people living across the Indus as Hindus.

Hinduism primarily is governed by the doctrine of Dharma. Hinduism is also known as Sanatana Dharma... something that exists from times immemorial. Truly Hinduism exists from times immemorial... the prime reason why India is the spiritual master of the world. Dharma can be defined as, "Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined".

Even before any religion came into being... the time when Mahavira was not yet born... existed Dharma and only Dharma. Dharma is the elixir of life like the sap that exists in a tree. In the absence of Dharma the society could not have sustained on its own.

It is only after advent of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed that religions came into being. What about 2600 years ago when religion did not exist at all?

In the Vedic times life was primarily governed by the four Vedas... the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. It was a time of rituals... for every occasion there was a sacrifice.

To appease gods in whatever form was the necessity of the day. Vedas are Hindu revelations that are considered direct dictates from God. Through the process of Shruti any enlightened person can invoke the wisdom of the Vedas from Almighty God.

Vedas literally mean... the spoken word! At the time of Vedas there was no Lipi (the written form of communication)... everything percolated from the spiritual master (guru) to the student (shishya) through verbal communication.

Then followed Lord Krishna thousands of years after! In the times of Lord Krishna... even scholars were finding it difficult to assimilate the teachings of the voluminous Vedas. For the wisdom to reach the masses, Lord Krishna gave the gist of the Vedas to the humanity in form of the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita.

Everything that is worth knowable in the whole of Cosmos is contained in Bhagavad Gita. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes one with God.

Bhagavad Gita is the most sacred document of Hinduism... the doctrine presented to mankind by Lord Krishna. For a serious seeker of spirituality... assimilating the pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita is sufficient to gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Thereafter it is a straight journey to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).
