Hinduism is a revealed religion

[Guest guest]

||Jai Hind||

 

Hinduism is the religion of the Hindus, a name given

to the Universal Religion which hailed supreme in

India. It is the oldest of all

living religions. This is not founded by any prophet.

Buddhism, Christianity

and Mohammedanism

owe their origin to the

prophets.Their dates are fixed. But no such date can

be fixed for Hinduism. Hinduism is not born of the

teachings of particular prophets. It is not based on a

set of dogmas preached by a particular set of

teachers. It is free from religious

fanaticism.

 

Hinduism is also known

by the names Sanatana-

Dharma and Vedic-Dharma.

 

 

Sanatana-Dharma means

eternal religion. Hinduism is as old as the world

itself. Hinduism is the

mother of all religions. Hindu scriptures are the

oldest in the world, Sanatana-Dharma is so

called, not only because

it is eternal, but also because it is protected by God

and because it

can make us eternal.

 

Vedic-Dharma means the religion of the Vedas. The

Vedas are the foundational scriptures of Hinduism. The

ancient Rishis and sages of India

have expressed their

intuitive spiritual experiences (Aparoksha-

Anubhuti) in the Upanishads. These experiences are

direct

and infallible. Hinduism regards the spiritual

experiences of the Rishis

of yore as its authority. The priceless truths that

have been discovered by the Hindu Rishis and sages

through millennia constitute the glory of

Hinduism. Therefore,

Hinduism is a revealed religion.
