    Definition Of Hinduism

    Once, a 'secular' minded western journalist, who generally derive great delight to show Hinduism in poor light vis a vis other religions, asked a question to a Swamiji:
    Q: "Who is the founder of Islam?"
    A: Prophet Mohammad.
    Q: Who is the founder of Christianity?
    A: Jesus Christ.
    Q: Who is the founder of Hinduism?
    Thinking that Swamiji has no answer,
    the lady journalist proceeded:
    "There is no founder and hence, Hinduism is not a religion or Dharma at all."
    A: Then, Swamiji said:
    "You are right. Hinduism is not a religion. It is a Science".
    She did not understand.
    Swamiji put few more questions to her.
    Q: "Who is the founder of Physics?"
    Ans: "No one person."
    Q:- Who is the founder of Chemistry?"
    Ans: "No one person”.
    Q: "Who is the founder of Biology?"
    Ans: "No single person."
    "Many many persons, from time to time, contributed to the wealth of knowledge of any Science."
    Swamiji continued
    "Hindu Dharma is a Science, developed over the centuries, contributed by saints and sages for giving right direction to the society by their own research and experiences ."
    "Islam has only one book -Quran."
    "Christianity has only one book -Bible."
    "But for Hinduism, I can take you to a library and show you hundreds of books."
    "Because, Hinduism is a scientific religion- called Sanatana Dharma "
    "Eternal Dharma -
    The most accurate definition".

    Name of Swamiji: can you guess? *

    Well ... All true ...and I believe that if today all the libraries and books disappeared - the first religion that would come back is Hinduism - because it is the most naturally developed and is completely aligned to the laws of the universe ...

    Satya, Dharma, śānti, Prema and Ahimsā (Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence) can never be false..
    And the fact of Tatvamasi - I am One with the universe - I am God - is something that every person will realize some day - sooner or later

    Keep smiling
