Though I like her attempt, understanding sanatana dharama takes a lot more than geeta. In fact starting with geeta would be a fallacy imho, for that, one should choose one of the philosophical schools among dvaita, vedanta, advaita vedanta, tantra, sankhya and then a differentiation of selected school that suits him/her.


She's a kid, let her be.

You said that you disagree to this..

Why? :rolleyes:

Don't tell me you seriously believe it? All one has to do is read to be disabused of any such notions......About any religion..!

You' re beating around the bush! :)
It was also one such case of intolerance. thats all.

Our reflexes!
Leader bhai may be I would have done the same. It's a very subcontinental thing I guess.

Yeah, I am.No fan of any religion but I don't go after one unnecessarily. I can recommend a good book though - The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Ignorance is no excuse. Why not try reading a few books by Hindus on Hinduism ? rather than books about religion by Christians?

Moral compass needs some mooring. Law is never enough.

Because, as I've said on this forum many times before, I believe that most subcontinental Muslims are Hindus who now follow a different faith.

Ghar Wapsi is (I believe) a one-time way back. Something whose time has come looking at over a millenium of forced conversions and disturbance in the basic demography of a Dharmic land.

It is made possible (and in my mind, morally, ethically, and theologically defensible) by the fact that subcontinental Muslims are Hindu by blood.

The above thought process (losely divergent on the nitty gritty details here and there, but essentially steadfast at its core, amongst over a billion and a half human souls) is what we call and mean by HINDUTVA.

And I told you before every child born is a Muslim unless he reaches an age where he really starts following a different faith. So your argument of making / considering everyone from subcontinent a Hindu does not stand. In fact Gar wapsi should be what you were as a child from what your parents and others forced upon you to practice as faith.

Atheist are you?
I am an Omnist!

Richard Dawkins was wrong when he assumed that only Aethists can be happy, balanced and intellectually fulfilled, Omnists 're equally happy and content. I believe that religions instil discipline in its followers, and as such there's no superior being who created us, and that the God is within our selves.
I support RIchard Dawkins when he said " no child should be labelled according to his/her parent's religion".

Richard Dawkins being described as a christian.....:lol: I'm sure the church would be thrilled to know that.

Btw, I recommended that book in the context of what @levina & I were discussing. Does not suggest that it is the only book I have ever read.:D (btw, did I not beat you up on the Vishwamitra's grand nephew bit.....:P Were you not searching for "Rama"....wondering whether I was talking about your nephew....)

As for moral compass & its mooring; I will find my own, thank you very much.

Hinduism, as any other ancient faith, is linked to the blood. You are born with it, into it. Its not forced on anyone. Neither can youforce your way into it. Or out. Because there is room for all forms and schools of thought. You are born a Hindu. And you never cease being one. Even if you choose to follow a different faith.

Its a difficult concept for a Abrahamnical school of thought to wrap itself around though, I must confess. There is just too much free will, and just no rules.
