This makes Hinduism the most tolerant religion in the world, because its one transcendent God includes all possible gods. In fact Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the most profound Methodist, and crudest idolater, are equally at home with it."

Their passionate wanderings of discovery to find that sun of the spirit in us, from whom we have the light of our consciousness and the fire of our life; the greatness of their questions, and the sublime simplicity of their answers; their radiance of joy..."

@pritish

with all those 330 million god ,have we ever witnessed HINDUS fighting among themselves as which GOD is SUPERIOR?? ...NEVER ...

every HINDU knows the truth that those 330 million are nothing but various MANIFESTATIONS of CREATOR ...it is only these SEMITIC slaves who dont understand ( perhaps dont want to accept) the TRUTH ....
