Hindu Dharma is Flawless

[Braahman]

Often we find anti-hindus evangelists point to apparent flaws in hindu dharma and puranas and our illiterate(in terms of religion) ae unable to defend our eternal religion.Hindu Dharma and purnans aren't a easy thing.For their corect interpretation,one has to consult pandits and pontiffs like shankarcharyas etc...

 

There is no Flaw in Hindu Dharma & Puranas

Draupadi?All the five were husbands in their past lives.They were born together of a curse.And she graduated from a snake to a human form.In the previous life she had pleased siva with her devotion and he had blessed her with a boon.She asked for a husband five times.Shiva said she would have five husbands.So he said in the next birth she would be born into the human world and that her husbands from here past lives would be born to her.

Kunti was a virgin thoughout her life.Kunti used to become a virgin physically,everyday.And after childbirth too she used to become a virgin.How didi this miracle occur?Due to the penance and the meditation of the rishis and munis.there is not one but five such instances.Ahalya;for instance.Draupadi was ike her.The day after her marriage she became a virgin(kanya) physically.After renewing her virginity,she marriaed Bheem.On the third day she again became virgin.Then she wedded Arjuna.She again became virgin on the fourth day,and only then he married to nakul.On the fifth day,after she had once again became virgin,she wedded Shahadev.Only a virgin has the right to marry accroding to hindu dharma.

 

Similarly all of the so-called evils and flaws of hindu dharma,samaj and sanskruti can be refuted if one consults pandits and pontiffs liek shankarcharyas etc...

Dear all:

 

I  am proud to be a Hindu and indeed believe that Sanatana Dharma is flawless. The flaw is with lack of reformers or almost no reformers.

 

It is flawless because it is not written by any one person at any particular time. It is evolved and amended by Rishis over a period of time during 3 past yugas, Satya Yuga, Tretaya yuga and Dwapar yuga.

While watching the TV serial "Ravana" - I came to know that how Ravana, Son of Rishi  Vishrava had raised voice against the Rishi community to protect farmer's interests. The Rishis used to leave their cows unattended , who while grazing used to destroy crops of farmers. When such issues arises (just like constitutional amendment), the religion is amended  suitably to address the changes required in the social system.

 

However, In Kaliyug  there were few personalities like Adi Shankara, Rama Krishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda were born and helped and promoted our religion across globe.

 

As per human rights defender Shri Vidya Bhusan rawat Click here to read the full article

"Even if there are Christians or Muslims in the hills propagating their faith, the Hindutva people have equal rights to propagate their faith. Clear enough, the brahmanical religion of Hindus has never been missionary in zeal and practice and therefore this superfluous threat perception from the minorities. Can they deny me right to convert if I wish to do so? And who has given them the authority to decide about an individual's freedom and choice of religion to be followed. "
 

The evolution of Hindu Dharma is stopped long ago and upper caste people started treating lower caste SC/ST people as slaves. The creator of Hindu (Sanatana)  Dharma never wanted this. They always wished their religious scriptures to evolve as per demand of the time - but instead of that our incompetent current religious leaders have freezed its evolution and started defending the caste system.

 

The Upanishads do not govern human conduct; Dharmshastras do. The Upanishads only provide knowledge about Brahman (the Universal Spirit or the Ultimate Reality) and how to realize Him. Dharmshastras, especially Manusmiriti, lay down rules for human conduct. One of the great doctrines of the Hindu religious tradition is Ahimsa, which means that one should not hurt anyone by word, deed, or thought. Manusmriti also states that if absolute harmlessness is not possible in a given situation, injury by word, deed, or thought should be minimized.

 

The Manusmriti has many good points and often criticized only because of its reference to caste system. I don't blame Rishi manu for this as he has written this Dharmshastra for society of  their time and no one is capable to revise some sections as per todays demand. As mentioned earlier "Upanishads" may not subject to revision but Dharmshastras which govern human conduct must be revised to suit today's Sanatana Dharma.

 

 Shankaracharyas may be Vedic scholars, but the failed miserably to bring reforms to Dharmshastras to suit today's society. The major changes happened to our Society during Maurya Empire - the famous Chandragupta-Chanayka duo brought social reforms. After that almost Nil.

 

Please draw your conclusion and let the members know whether our Shankaracharys failed in their duties or not.

Dear all

 

Yes, Sanatan dharma may be flawless. But the instances cited by Braahman to justify virginity of Draupadi and Kunti are quite disgusting. Rather it should be interpreted in a way that it is flawless because it gives the independence to women to chose their partners irrespective of numbers. Now all the fundamentalists try to do the act of moral policing in the name of preserving hinduism. Who gave them this right to do so?

 

If we interpret our ancient religious scriptures, Hindu dharma had given utmost freedom to individuals for their personal practices and conduct unlike other religions. This is the very reason for which one should be proud to be a hindu.

Dear Manoj babu:
Very well said.  I have  the following to add.  Cock and bull stories are more logical than Mr. Brahman's stories.
I prefer to remain illiterate than being literate like Mr. Braahman: whose heroine swings between virginity and consummation of marriage, for 5 consecutive nights.
Is it not similar to virgin birth of Christ in many ways?
 

Does he know what is definition of  virginity?

I have read that some Iranian high society girls restitched their hymen surgically to fake virginity, before going back to Iran from USA.  Why discuss this area of scriptures and make argument which are untenable, because they belonged to a particular society.
Ramayana tells us that Sambuka was killed by Rama because he tried to read holy scriptures - does  Mr. Brahman want us to believe in it's justification in 21st century?

Yes, it will be acceptable to those guided by blind faith but not by any whiff of reason. Hinduism is not one version - it  has materialism of Charbak and many other rational sastras which were destroyed by the irrational people, who Mr. Brahman represent. The destruction of liberal vision and action led to restrictions  like losing "Jati" for crossing sea. In ancient times we know people from Orissa went to Java and Sumatra and Thailand.

But beyond those people of faith, it will never fly.

No wonder he is too afraid to reveal his identity. Actually, it could be that we are arguing with a mad chap. Because who else but a deranged person can forward the following argument?
Best wishes,
Sandip

How sickular are these people?We see no comments on Islam or
Jeehad(Minority Appeasement) by UPA but loads of them on
hindutva,puranas,puri pandas,innocent professors...no wonder our
prospicient rishis made the rule that a hindu loses his caste and
religion by crossing seas and shouldn't be considered an hindu
anymore...

[Manoj Padhi]

Dear Braahman:

 

As far as I am concerned I have expressed my opinon on Islam and Minority appeasement.

To your reaction I can quote the great film script writer duo Salim-Javed in Movie Deewar

 

"Doosron Ki Paap Ginanese Apne Paap Kam nehin Hote"

 

Those who fired Kar Sevak train at Godhra - Are they your own people ?

Those who are planted bomb in Mumbai local train - Are they your own people ?

Those who attacked Parliament - Are they your own people ?

 

No

 

But the SC/ST/Dalits of Keradagarh were our own people. What we did to them ?

 

"Jin  Ke Apne Ghar Sise Ka hota hai, Wo Doosron Ke Ghar Me Pathar Nehin Mara Karte"

 

I can understand your love for religious scriptures and I too love them. Infact, at America when we still celebrate Saraswati Puja, Maha Sivaratri , Car festival and you will be surprised to see

the daily crowd at our nearest Siradi Sai temple. People from all states of India assemble here for Aarati and Puja.

 

But to tell a spade a spade - we need to have courage. We must keep our own house in order before pointing to some one else.
