Hinduism, is not a religion in that it has not been started by any one person. It is a set of principles handed down to us by various sages during different periods in our history, which gives the secret of how to lead a peaceful life. The principles are of two types. The Sanantan Dharma principles are true for all times and the Yuga Dharma principles change with time according to history and geography. Thus we see Hindus in different parts of India are vegetarians and meat eaters, according to geography. We too have our caste system which has been distorted by the Brahmins. Originally the caste system was based on the personality of the person. All human beings are made up of three gunas - Satvik, Rajas and Tamas. The four castes were made according to the ration of the three gunas in a person. It was the Brahmins who made the system hereditary so that their children could continue to enjoy the special privileges given to them by society. Now, reservations and quota politics has distorted the system so much that all morality has gone to the dogs. The writer of the above differences, says that all Hindus go to the same temple. It would be great if it was a fact. Even now, 68 years after independence, the upper caste Hindus shamelessly do not allow the lower caste ones to enter their temples or even draw water from the common wells. Then they object if these people join some other religion and arrange for "Ghar Wapasi" |
