Sanaathana Dharma - what have we done to uphold it

It is a shame to be called a Hindu - at least that is what most Hindus think, if you look at the way Hindus are being projected across the media in India and across the world in various fora. But the vast majority of practicing Hindus in India are largely unaware of this image that their ancient and sacred culture and tradition is beholden and when they do come across this viewpoint, it comes to them as a shock and horror. Then they recoil into self defence, trying to defend their culture and tradition, with the little tit-bits and pieces that they know about it, little realizing that this small amount of amateurish information is hardly sufficient to encounter the deeply indoctrinated and well orchestrated, well funded campaign that has spread this polluted image in the first place. Or they are apologetic about some of the known social evils that exist in India, confusing them to be the tenets of their Sanathana Dharma, thereby doing further disservice and damage to our tradition.

In this blog, I will try to write, from time to time, what I have understood about the most benign and benovelent cultures and traditions that the world has ever known, that is TODAY in grave danger of becoming extinct from the face of this earth.

I had started another blog almost four years back, in Nov. 2005 under the URL

http://vasuerfolg-sanathanadharma.blogspot.com

and I will endeavour to converge these two blogs and unify the contents as I move along.

You will hear from me in due time and quite often at that !!
