Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Padaravindame Saranam, Guruvayoorappa Saranam, Thank you, Have a great day, mprnair, We Are All Hindus Now Says Newsweek Magazine An amazing article just came out in Newsweek Magazine that is worthy of your attention. We didn't expect to see an article like this in a national magazine. the article speaks for itself. We Are All Hindus Now America is not a Christian nation. We are, it is true, a nation founded by Christians, and according to a 2008 survey, 76 percent of us continue to identify as Christian (still, that's the lowest percentage in American history). Of course, we are not a Hindu-or Muslim, or Jewish, or Wiccan-nation, either. A million-plus Hindus live in the United States, a fraction of the billion who live on Earth. But recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are slowly becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity. SMART LIST Culture World National Affairs Health/Environment Economy More on What You Need to Know Now The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu scripture, says this: " Truth is One, but the sages speak of it by many names. " A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is better than any other; all are equal. The most traditional, conservative Christians have not been taught to think like this. They learn in Sunday school that their religion is true, and others are false. Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. " Americans are no longer buying it. According to a 2008 Pew Forum survey, 65 percent of us believe that " many religions can lead to eternal life " -including 37 percent of white evangelicals, the group most likely to believe that salvation is theirs alone.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 HARI AUMThank you very much Shri MPR Nair for bringing this article to our notice. It is a real GREAT TREND!This GREAT MESSAGE is not taught to the US by any missionaries - it is taught in the msot Natural Way!Mother Nature is Guiding the masses in the right direction! And we the Devotees of Kannan should readily accept the modern concepts in our way of worships and rituals.I pray to all my fellow devotees to read this wonderful News item and realise How Great is Hinduism - it does not belong particularly to any group or religion - if we claim so we are belittling Hinduism.Repeating my request once again: please, please read this ARTICLE in full - that itself is a GREAT SERVICE to KANNAN and MOTHER NATURE.Regards to all,NB Nair. guruvayur , "mprnair" <nairradhakrishnan wrote:>> Padaravindame Saranam, Guruvayoorappa Saranam,> > > Thank you,> > Have a great day,> > mprnair,> > > We Are All Hindus Now > Says Newsweek Magazine> > > > > An amazing article just came out in Newsweek Magazine that is worthy of your attention.
