Is SanAtana dharma under threat

Namaste,

 

When we look at the current situation of Hindus in India as well as other countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan and so on, there is no doubt that Hindu religion or sanAtana dharma is under threat.

India which is the motherland of Hindu religion or sanAtana dharma has never invaded any other country. But all other countries have invaded and plundered India.

Even after Independence when Pakistan which was carved out of India, identified itself as an Islamic state, while India chose to be democratic and secular. This is because Hindu religion is intrinsically democratic.

But other religions like Islam and Christian, are constantly working against Hindu culture and posing a major threat to the Hindu dharmic religion.

But still many Hindus themselves are under a delusion that the word sanAtana means eternal and therefore sanAtana Hindu dharma can never be threatened!!! This is just like a cat drinking poisoned milk, closing it’s eyes, thinking nobody is seeing it. You cannot put your own head under a train or drown or burn your body thinking that the soul is eternal!!  

We have to understand that the Supreme Self or Brahman or the absolute truth that is deeply established in all, always remains eternal and can never be threatened. Infact this eternal truth of Brahman/Atman, cuts accross all opposing viewpoints! But the body/mind/intellect that reveals the truth is perishable and can be threatened and killed. 

So it is very important for Hindus to protect their people, culture and civilization from the onslaught of adhArmic or demonic forces

The sun always remains as is. But it can get covered by the clouds. So, all adharma or non-Hindu religions are like the clouds that cover the Sun. They have to be removed in order for Truth to be revealed.

But it is interesting that Vedas, the sacred Hindu scripture, allows adharma to exist. In the Vaishwadeva procedure that devout Brahmanas perform every day, an offering is made in the name of adharma also, in addition to many divinities. This is because, adharma helps to bring out the greatness of Dharma!! Bad people who tread the path of adharma, help to absorb the bad karma of good of dharmic people. It acts like a garbage dump that help to keep other areas of dharma clean!

Adharma is not totally eliminated, but it will always be under the control of Dharma! But when adharma tries to takeover dharma, great personalities including Ishwara or God will incarnate to destroy adharma and protect Dharma!

 

Namaste
