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). Essay

Hinduism
questions Hinduism
is a very open religion. It has no bindings whatsoever. It is totally unorganized...
the prime reason why it was subjected to slavery for over 600 years. The patience,
persistence and perseverance that are practiced in India are without a parallel.
It even exceeded its limits. Even when the enemy was at the door... they did not
unite and ultimately lost the fight.
