Hey, I think the thoughts of people like that of Gurukul spoils the growth of hinduism. I agree that is is a dharma-way of life, but now today, when all have invaded and split up as different relegion, it is a foolishness to convience ourself by saying that i agree all. Sorry gurukul, my intention is not to hurt you but my worry about ourself. Do you think all religions way of life are similar.. definetly not. The way in hinduism is to attain the moksha but not creating war against the non-believers or to increase the number of people in its own religion.
The following is not my own script but holds here:
"
A Lesson for Parents
When we make the sentimentally comforting, yet unthinking, claim that "
All
religions are the same", we are unwittingly betraying the grandeur and
integrity of this ancient heritage, and contributing to weakening the
philosophical/cultural matrix of Hinduism to its very core .
No Radical Universalism, Please!
Each and every time a Hindu upholds Radical Universalism, and
bombastically
proclaims that " All religions are the same ", she does so at the dire
expense of the very Hinduism she claims to love. To deny the uniqueness
and
greatness of Hinduism leads, in turn, to a very unhealthy psychological
state of self-loathing, a sense of unworthiness and a schizophrenic
confusion on the part of anyone who wishes to consider themselves
Hindu.
"
All religions are not same. I dont say to make other religions as your enemy or to kill the non-believers of your religion (afterall it is not the aim of a hindu - there is another religion for this). I say understand the truth in your religion.
