I have rad almost all the messages that appeared in this column. It is not surprising that Hindus are a divided lot even in this matter. Some say the entire Ramaya, Mahabharat etc. are just mythological books without any substance.
The problem with Hindu society is that majority of them do not know what Hinduisum is all about. Since the parents do not know the essence of Hinduism, they do not pass on anything good to their children.
There are lot of schools and other organizations of Chinmayananda Mission across the country. If you take your children at least for a week to any of the organization run by Chinmaya Mission, they would have learned a lot about Hinduism and appreciated how scientific is this relgion compared to other religions. It is the only relgion that scientifically deals with all aspects of universe, earthily livings, planets and stars and co-relate them to the earth etc are classic examples. WE know when there is LUnar or solar eclipse, the influence of the same is felt on earth - even the mighty oceans on earth cannot escape from its influence. Then how can human beings can escape from this. Science of astrology deals with these matters.
It is time for Hindus to learn what exactly is Hinduism. If they know it, no government would have dared to make statements like this. UNITE HINDU BROTHERS, be a proud citizen of Bharat be proud for being borne as Hindu - a religion which has no string attached to it. A Hindu is a free man.
