Let me explain Hinduism to you first: The essence of Vedas say "Ekam Sat, Vipra Bahuda Vadanti" - The truth or God is one, wise men call it by different names. We call it Brahman - The supreme Being. To know the unknown, we represent it by idols. Hindus know that whatever God they pray, it reaches the ultimate. That's why we are secular by blood. That's the reason we go to church, consider allah as god too. A pond can be reached by four different steps leading to it. All paths lead to the same pond. The followers of this Dharma (Sanatan Dharma - Eternal concept) were worldwide. The aborigines of Australia still worship a God called Siva who has a third eye and is smeared with ashes. Who else can it be?
Now kaliyug starts: It is said :'KALOU KALMASHA CHITHTHAANAM' meaning 'In Kaliyuga all minds are impure'. New religion starts springing up. What Jesus said is lost and the saints come up with 99% of the bible (Have you read the Red-letter bible?) to erase the Sanatan Dharma and come up with just one religion, one path and one god. They say all other Gods are fake, all paths are false, only God Jesus exists (Is he God or Son of God??). The same goes with Muslims. The problem starts when each one says there is only one God and that is my God.
That;s the reason we have Crusades, 9-11 etc etc. No Hindu killed any other person to convert him to follow Hindu gods. Because as I said, they respect other Gods by nature of their preachings and from birth.

Continued.. THIS BIGGEST STRENGTH OF HINDUS IS THEIR BIGGEST WEAKNESS. No chritian or muslim is secular, if they are then they cease to be christian/muslim as it goes against their preachings. They name others as Heathens/Pagans/Kafirs.
I am talking now to christian converts, the earlier Hindu : Please understand the concepts of Hindusim. If you have any doubts, clarify it from Gurus who are experts in the field. Or read from Books. Guess you are a tamilian. If so, read "Artham ulla Hindu matham" by the great lyricist Kannadasan (earlier atheist, became theist). And then think of converting to other religion. Read what Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi have to say of conversions. They hated it intensely. Changing religion is like changing your mother. Can you ever think of such a thing?
Now dont start typing in haste and out of impulse all your Hindu bashing statements. I am neither a Hindu, RSS, VHP , Bajrang Dal guy. I am a Christian. But, I would rather call myself a Sanathanin. Follower of Eternal Dharma. Follower of Vedas. The true Knowledge.

Great message, Mike!
People should realise why Hinduism is the longest religion- because of its flexibility. It would live forever.Beleive in this great religion and have the mind to tolerate others religion.
btw people like Karunanidhi would suffer due to his adharma! He is an old wicked man! and would meet his end that suits his evilness!
Just Chant Hare Rama Hare Krishna and all your problems would be solved!!

Oh. Mike and Peter U are greate and my brother in thoughts.I am a christian but I was converted at heart and covinced in mind that only Hinduism is the last destiny of peace,spirituality,love and truth.It is the highest flight of thought and truth. while reading some parts of Gita,Upnishads,Vedas,shankaras,Budhas,Swami Ramtirtha,Dayananda,Vivekananda,Aurobindo, I fall many times into trance,spurts of smadhi. While teaching Physics in my college I support the phenomenas like Quantam-Mechanism,'Light has no colour of its own',Principle of Uncertainty, and ;Dual Natur of matter'with the hindu thoughts and phylosophies of the above granthas.

How true. Thanks Mike for reminding us of what we are. We Hindus seem to be becoming too much like the other religions taking all these protests etc.

Whether koran is told by allah or writeen by some vested interest people after death of prophet mohd should be told by supreme court. whether jesus born to virgin mary how this is possible should be told by judges.
their religious beliefs bringing poverty among believers by way of having many children whom they cannot feed etc etc and their by they are becomming burden to the society causing social unrest and progress of the country and fellow citizens.
Dear politicians please take up this case. EDUCATE THE PEOPLE
