THE DIVINE DEMOCRACY OF HINDUISM

THE DIVINE DEMOCRACY OF HINDUISM

The multifarious religious culture of the Hindus is the necessary evolutionary growth of the Hindu civilisation. It is this phased democracy that keeps it vibrant and strong despite its apparent and not quite real divergence from its pristine philosophical fountainhead.in the Vedanta. The stratified structure of this spiritual civilisation allows every Hindu to catch a glimpse of the Divine from his own vantage point. It is this relativity of spiritual perception that makes for the most rapid radial advancement of the individual towards the centre of his spherical consciousness where in the Absolute Self he perennially abides whose degeneration had thus far been the relativity of phenomenal experience. Hinduism thus stands true in its vast variety centred in its core truth of the Sachchidānanda, an exploration of spiritual truth along diverse channels leading to the same divine destination. And Hinduism has its solid philosophical basis in the Vedas with their illustrative narrative in the Purânas to serve as its rationale. Which Abrahamic faith can claim likewise? And yet they in their stupendous vanity born of their abounding ignorance of the philosophical profundity of Hinduism denounce the same and constantly try to seduce Hindus into their narrow folds. Wondrous are the meandering modes of Maya! 🕉 Hindu!
