Indian religions are not based on fears, but on uderstanding the nature, the matter and their relationships with the universe. There are many similarities between Christianity and Indian religions, because Indian religions with Hinduism ( or Sanatan Dharma) are the core. That was explained to the West first by Raja Rammohan Roy, who has influenced some of the greatest minds of the West ( Emerson, Humboldt, Whitman and a few others).
