All Orient philosophy, even the Chinese philosphy offer the greatest insights into the nature of Self and Brahman (even though using different terminology). But I am afraid that the current generation has no time to learn and appreciate their own religion and culture. It is painful to see our children go to christian convents and they know more about Bible than about Bhagavad Gita. Even the parents of current generation are not caring enough to impart our own culture in our children. Even though India is entering a phase of material prosperity and world recognition for its skill knowledge workers, we are losing our great values and today Hinduism is facing the greatest risk, not from external forces, but from the current generations ignorence of the great land thay born in and the matchless wisdom that their religion offers. Wake up Hindus - Its time to realise the greatness of Hinduism. What other great religion can say that "One who sees oneself in all species and all species in oneself, sees everything as his own self" - That is the highest vision of unity in dicersity.

Wake up Hindus – Its time to realise the greatness of Hinduism. What other great religion can say that “One who sees oneself in all species and all species in oneself, sees everything as his own self” – That is the highest vision of unity in dicersity.

Where are the Upanishads? by Ravi http://angryhindu.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/hotel-bibles-for-atheist-china-where-are-the-upanishads/#comment-29 Ravi Tue, 21 Aug 2007 10:08:34 +0000 http://angryhindu.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/hotel-bibles-for-atheist-china-where-are-the-upanishads/#comment-29 LOL :) You know what the funny thing is? Most westerners (let us say Americans, I don't know much about others) are not sure what is the authentic part of the bible is: like old testament or new testament - The authenticity of the laws of Moses Vs Jesus. And yet these people criticise the peerless wisdon of Upanishads - and you know why. Just they can't get it. They just can not understand the concept of God (Brahman) of Upanishads. For christians God has to be a human being with special qualities like immortality, omniscience etc, for they say god created men in his image. Upanishads offer the highest wisdom possible in any race and in any age. That is for sure. Aditya http://www.hinduwiki.com LOL :) You know what the funny thing is?

]]> Comment on an example of subtle bias on wikipedia by Ravi http://angryhindu.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/of-wikis-and-things/#comment-28 Ravi Tue, 21 Aug 2007 09:53:06 +0000 http://angryhindu.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/of-wikis-and-things/#comment-28 Well Said, Most people (esp. western) do not understand the concept of cast (varna) in Hinduism. Cast is only a distinction based on ones nature or personality (guna) and the kind of work that one does (or best suited for). Never based on birth. So a brahmana is the highest cast and well revered because a brahmin is one who has a natural tendency for spiritual quest and established in satvic nature. And one is not a brahmin if he does not have such qualities. There were no outcastes in vedic and puranic ages. This is one of the basic misunderstandings about Cast in Hindusim. What we have now in society has nothing to do with the original varna system.
