Do you know that 'hindu' is a british term? Sanatan Dharma was our way of living in the sub continents before that. Anyways, I don't think this debate will get us anywhere.
Here is my last attempt at whether it is myth or history:
http://devdutt.com/articles/history-versus-mythology.html
please do not some of the key sentences:
- So like fundamentalist Christians in Europe demanding a ban on the study of evolution, fundamentalist Hindus in India started demanding that Ramayan and Mahabharat be taught as part of history.
- Even today Indians bear the burden of making Ramayan and Mahabharata historical and scientific. They point to archeological sites in Dwarka. They still feel they are answerable to the West.
- Linear religions, which have a start and a finish,
need history.
Cyclical religions, like the ones that thrived in India, seek to outgrow history. History is seen as delusion, a foolhardy attempt of man to define and limit time in ancient Indian philosophies.
Moot point is - bhai, Sanatan Dharma is beyond the labels! it is known as a myth for a reason!
And what has any of this got to with Jesus? Don't know much about him anyways.
I do respectfully rest my case.. Work waits.. happy to engage in a healthy debate, where you don't hide behind technicalities instead of simply saying, 'my bad bhai, shouldn't have called you a name'.
