HINDUISM IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY ON THE RISE THE WORLD OVER
The reverse flow of devotees has started. More and more people of the world are embracing Hinduism because of its philosophical depth, its freedom of choice of Deity (Ishta) and its liberal universal principles that teach the essence of life and existence in as scientific a manner as has ever been achieved on this planet in human history. Above all, Hinduism with its ideal of Moksha / Mukti, that is, liberation from the cyclical transmigration of the embodied being on realisation of the singularity of existence in the Atma / Brahman is unique among the religions of the world and this, in especial, is drawing thinking humanity towards it and will increasingly do so in the future.
The prospects are good and ever brightening as the resurgence of Hinduism as the saviour religion of the world is evident in an age of futile communal conflict the world over among the adherents of monotheistic Semitic faiths that bank on arbitrary so-called prophetic pronouncements going by the name of divine revelation, unverified and unverifiable by the run of humanity, even if they be sincere seekers of the truth. Hinduism here offers the golden opportunity to all and sundry to investigate the interior of the being and come to one's own conclusions as to what truth is. Its wide divergence of available approaches, avenues to the ultimate truth of life, makes it a uniquely democratic religion in the most catholic sense of the term. As such, Hinduism is, in the words of Swami Vivekananda, 'the mother of all religions' and the universal set of all faith denominations that exist and proliferate in the world. Being the democratic and scientific conglomeration of all the spiritual phases of human evolution and thought, Hinduism or, to be technically accurate, the Sanatan Dharma (Perennial Philosophy / Eternal Religion) is by the day attracting more and more of thinking humanity and seems certain to be the future refuge of all the truly spiritual people of the world.
