Very well said. You have very well articulated what should be done to unite Hindus. But we need to find ways to do it. I think the problem lies with the vast scriptures we have and no on Guru can claim to be expert on Hindu way of life. There were many gurus like Dayananda Saraswati, Raja Ram Mohan Roy who tried to capture essense of Hindu way of life and created Arya Samaj and Brahma Samaj but again where is the common ground? I think all spiritual gurus should meet and try to find a common ground and create guidelines for hindus world over.

Dear Anuj, we have not seen dayananda saraswati and raja ram mohan roy, maybe they didnt have all the answers too, our religion is such, it is more convention than hard coded practice. It also is meaningless to expect newer samajs to be created. We have to understand that we need to be basically disciplined in following someone rather trying to evaluate his competence. I do not know, but surely some of the gurus of today also will be equally knowledgeable in our scriptures, we have to make the start rather than quiz every guru to make him crack and prove ourselves. A trainer who had come from belgium was training us on a train the trainer course, and she said be careful of one thing, your guys will keep grilling you on the subject he knows and will try to prove you wrong, as trainers you have to understand that such competition is not what what you are here for, you deliver your training, essentially saying ensure such guys cant be a nuisance to proceedings. Now looking back, are we not ourselves doing that by trying to evaluate gurus? Think of it ..... we are all at fault there I think !!
