We need to make an effort to understand 'dharma'. Why wait for someone else.India needs some great modern formulators of the dharma religion.As arun shourie points out there has been very few in the last 50 years.Only 2 to be exact who made a lasting impact.Acharya Rajneesh/Osho ,he synthesized hindu dharma with other dharmic religions like zen,buddhism,taoism etc and swami chinmayananda who tried to reform hinduism.
More are needed!
Yup but the path is always created by people who are intellectuals or peoples of brahmin mentality.In reality there are only few peoples who can learn things by themselves but for the majority people need someone who will show the path.We need to make an effort to understand 'dharma'. Why wait for someone else.
Swami Vivekananda was not a Brahman.up but the path is always created by people who are intellectuals or peoples of brahmin mentality
You didn't understood me.Swami Vivekananda was not a Brahman.
Narendra Nath Datta.
He was a key figure in the introduction of Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the western world, and was credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion in the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the notion of nationalism in colonial India.
Real secularism is oblivious and unattending to religions. Instead of vainly trying to appease all religions, it doesn't consider religion as a policy factor at all.Few points regrding how I want a 'secular' Indian govt to be.
1. Treat religions equally like how a real secular country should treat them
Consider the US constitution for example. It quite firmly and clearly separates the church and the state.Real secularism is oblivious and unattending to religions. Instead of vainly trying to appease all religions, it doesn't consider religion as a policy factor at all.
