    I feel not only Indians but humanity have been robbed of knowledge😢 what I like about Hinduism is it is a humble based and knowledge seeking faith. Hindus, humbly and open mindedly seeks knowledge, then they let the knowledge defines them. Other faiths, on the other hand, arrogantly tries to define knowledge. This is why Hindus view of reality is wider and in my opinion more realistic 🙏

      The knowledge was deliberately concealed by politicians and traders nexus to market products and earn at cost of keeping humanity in ignorance.
      This nexus has polluted the Air.
      Polluted the Land.
      Polluted the Rivers and ultimately our Food has turned carcinogenic.
      The Hindu Vedic culture teaches us to conquer negativity ,then how would Liquor and cigars sell and how would Narcotic drugs sell, How could they traffic slaves, How in name of womans freedom how would they get women voluntary move out in scanty clothes and cheat husbands. as also how would they operate red areas without customers.
      How would they be able to sell several other Lust products if humanity understood the core values of Vedic Knowledge All this Evil business will fail, The 1 percent of Worlds Population controlling 99% Wealth by wrong means will perish.
      General masses will benifit and will no longer be sheep led by the Shepard.
      Religious beliefs who want to make humanity sheep led by Shepard will collapse too.
      Hence Target Vedic Hinduism globally as well as supress it in India as well by keeping Hindus second class citizens under a so called doctrine of secularism that promotes Islam in India at cost of Hinduism.
      Its not to blame British or any ethnicity , From England arrived the Mafia which entered into alliance with Indian counterparts to loot and subvert the land where vedic culture survived the global anhilation campaigns by Christanity and Islam , which were no religions but Groups to do buisness of exploitation of Nature, which Hinduism opposed for sake of saving earth.
      Now we have global warming and at any time there can be catastrophe in 50 years max.

    In our daily prayers, comes this verse:
    आकाशात् पतितं तोयं यथा गच्छति सागरं
    सर्व देव नमस्कारः श्री केशवं प्रतिदच्छति
    This means
    Just as all the water that rains from the skies reaches the ocean,
    So does the worship offered to all gods reach Sri Kesava
    With this clarity, we of Sanatana Dharma obviously have no dispute with anyone worshipping any god in any manner, indeed, We have no problem their believing that theirs is the only way and everyone is condemned to eternal damnation…
    It is when they deny us the right to practice it the way we see it, that conflict arises.
    But no more turning the other cheek for us, which soporific worked two centuries. Now we also back on both cheeks, for THAT is Dharma.

    Sanatan Dharma is THE knowledge , eternal and path to reach the divine and hence no boundaries unlike Hinduism which is just a geographical identity by Arabs and parsis which has nothing to do with sanatan dharm
    Many people misinterprete and say both are same ,but Hinduism represent s culture of people beyond indus valley but the sanatan dharma values have been reached the world millenium s ago which shrinked
    and become limited ,later till what we call akhand Bharata which included Indonesia Cambodia Malaysia Columbus Mexico Tibet Kashmir Bhutan srilanka Bangladesh Pakistan Afghanistan Vietnam Thailand Burma phillipness Japan and many others..,and then later shrinked to india and sourrounding nations and then later only till india and Nepal and now only till north india and south india
    That's a different thing that today sanatan dharm 🕉️ ✨🔱🌼 is mainly accepted and followed in India and Nepal
    Yes no doubt that this santan dharma knowledge originated in India and sourrounding nations like theory of Karma dharma reincarnation life after death auyerveda meditation yoga and many more but it is meant for all the man kind ...
    Hinduism is not a religion it is a term given to identify people living beyond indus valley and around..
    And it is sanatan dharm ,which too is also not a religion.
    Actually we don't believe in term or concept of religion ..
    The word dharma in Sanskrit and as per mahabharat and Bhagvad Gita means a duty and responsibility a person is bound too./ righteousness or ethics..
    Like we usually in dharma ,say :A parent Dharma is to nourish and protect their child , a king /queen to govern his /her kingdom
    Following principles in dharma shastras ,Garuda puran and others.
    It doesn't mean king, queen parents and child have different religion ..
    They have different responsibilities they are bounded with ..or Ethical values
    Like in Mahabharata Krishna taught that dharma should be saved and justice should always shine and prevail
    here he mentions that Pandavas were more wrong than demons as they were watching injustice happening for their wife and kingdom but still they didn't responded or raised voice..
    Dharma Protects Those Who Protect it..!
    You don't to be unnecessarily become violative..
    But you should also not be blind and keep hand on hand watching all wrong and Adharma happening.raise voice.
    Followers of Sanatana Dharma find god in every single thing that he creates ,he is present in smallest of atom and largest we can imagine.he is present in sand cows animals nature river sun tree planets moon every where Even inside ourselves we just have to find him through end number of ways ,it can be anything or any path .
    Some found him by chanting or mediation , some by dancing in his holy bhajans and kirtans or some by doing good work in his name with pure heart and soul.
    Some by complete surrender and some by reading his holy scriptures and applying in their life..

      Santana Dhrama is essentially the duties of a Hindu relating to his facticity and this facticity is related to his previous life's moral actions.All Hindus believe their essence is a working progress from one life time to the next,until moksha,nirvana is attained,the ultimate purpose of human existence for Hindus to attain moksha.

    I have a copy of the complete 18 vol Mahabharata I look forward to reading. I'm working through Valmiki's complete Ramayana first and the complete Srimad Bhagatam, then on to the Mahabharata and Rig Vedas. I was my new years resolution of 2022 to read the ancient texts, so slowly working through them. I found so many don't read these texts though. So many excuses. Its too long, its too difficult, they don't have time, etc. My response: these are the words coming from god, so why NOT read them?? If your wife wrote a novel, would you read it if she asked (or if she didn't)? YES, cause you'd be sleeping on the couch otherwise. But, when Sri Krishna says 'here are my words.' Do we read them? Nope. Cause we're not afraid of sleeping on the couch. We're have no fear of god. We'd rather "read" the Mahabharata via wikipedia. Its sad, as since I started reading the texts (its now 5.2023) my life has dramatically changed, and my spirituality.

He calls it the New age of humanity where eventually the heart or intuition will be more dominant than the mind leading humankind. Avatar Meher Baba ki Jai!

    Human conflict and human folly is not one charecter, the Mahabharata and more so the Bhagvada Geeth encompass the wide human experience. It addresses kings and the average life of men, it is a doorway to get a bigger picture as to what our world truly is. What life on earth truly reflects.
    Bible does not have such colossal coverage. It is significant but has missed many human experiences. A new man can get a lot from reading the Maha Bharata and Srimad Bhagvad Geeth.
    As we always say, eyes may see but not know nothing, the truth has a bigger inter connection and many hidden elements make the bigger picture.

    A Peek Into Mahabharata Allegories
    One can look at Mahabharata as 1) mythology or history or a mere story (as per your preference). 2) You can look at it from the literary point of view, if you are a Sanskrit scholar. 3) You can approach it with the attitude of Bhakti. Or,
    4) We can unravel the layers and discover in it the allegory for the sum total of all experiences of existence itself. From this angle, the Mahabharata war is the conflict within every one of us.
    Let us attempt a quick peek into the allegories, looking at the principal characters in it. Most of the words themselves directly convey or give clues to the meaning of the allegory.
    Itihasa - can be interpreted as -
    = Itihasa is that which has traditionally disseminated Values.
    = Itihasa also means “that which has happened Here”. When the Rishi says Here, he is pointing to himself, to his within. Thus Itiha is that which is happening Here, Within Us. From this one word alone, we get a huge insight that it is of great use to interpret the Itihasas as allegorical works.
    = Or, it can mean exactly as beautifully out here - “as it was when it occurred”
    Maha Bharat - “Bha” means knowledge (luminosity). So from the title itself it is clear that the Mahabharata is a work that is primarily concerned with The Great Knowledge”. It is not a mere record of history of a war between cousins.
    Kurukshetra - means the seat of karma. That seat is nothing but our own body. Kshetra is that which is subject to Kshaya (decay). We can say, a Field. In a field we sow seeds and reap the harvest. In this light, our body is Kurukshetra, where the seeds of karma are sown and karmaphala is harvested. Bhagavad Gita mentions Dharmakshetra. Kurukshetra becomes Dharmakshetra when the karma is executed with true realization or Bodham.
    Dhritarashtra - is one who holds on desperately to power and pelf. The root word of Dhrita means to grasp / with the power to destroy. Rashtra refers to the wealth of Things, People, Ideas. The embrace of Dritarashtra is famous and can kill even a powerful man as Bhima - “Dhritarashtra Aalinganam”. His desire to hold on to wealth and sensory pleasures has made him incapable of ever seeing the true nature of Being. His blindness is Avidya (the inability to see things as they are).
    Gandhari - when we associate ourselves with a person such as this blind king, if we have to remain associated with him, we will have to ignore his faults. We choose not to see the reality as it truly is even though we are capable of doing so, we close our eyes or blindfold ourselves, much like Gandhari.
    Kauravas - The desire to hold on to power and pelf gives birth to many countless evils. The 100-odd Kauravas represent these evils emanating from the Dhritarashtra mentality. These evils include Duryodhan (one who uses wealth for wrong purposes), Dushasan (one who gives wrong orders and statements), and countless other evils. Dussala reminds us that evil affects both sexes, everyone.
    Pandavas - represent the good qualities few in numbers, but powerful enough to win the war against the countless evils. Panda is spiritual knowledge or the values which will help one in acquiring such knowledge. Pandavas have Panda.
    What are the good qualities ?
    Yudhishthir -Dharma (he is Dharmaputra)
    Bhim -Karma / action
    Arjun -Rjutvam or being straightforward.
    Nakul - (na-kul) one who has transcended clannish attitudes, one who has achieved equanimity.
    Sahadev - interested in good helpful associations, Satsang.
    Sanjaya - is one who has won well. Meaning he is one who has won the supreme victory of the fights within himself. It is said that Sanjaya was given the power to see and hear everything that is going on in the Mahabharata battlefield (he reports the happenings to Dhritarashtra). Which is no wonder, if we understand what is Sanjaya. Realisation gives us the power to see and interpret closely the fights that goes on within us constantly. We all have the potential to be Sanjay, to observe with utmost clarity and to win well.
    Bheeshma Pitamah - Fear - truly the great Grand Daddy, the oldest of all human evils. He was the epitome of Dharma when he was Devavrata, the one devoted to gods. But when he did thee wrong thing by catering to his father’s lust, he becomes Bheeshma. His duty to his father as a son was to help him transcend (trananam) the phenomenal world (Pu), then only he can be called as Putran = Son. His wrong decision cost him all his life when he always knew what is right and wrong, and was always forced to side with the wrong.
    Shikhandi - only he can kill Bheeshma. Shikhandi is one who has cut his Shikha. Cutting of shikha is symbolic of having achieved non-duality, the equanimity of a Sthitaprajna. In this state, gender and other dualities holds no meaning. He is one who has transcended even gender classifications, he is not just a transgender. Fear is destroyed spontaneously once one realizes non-duality.
    Drona - duality, enmity, vengefulness. (droh).
    Drupad - firm footed / of rooted stance. In his childhood he made a childish promise to his schoolmate friend Drona, but in his role as king he stood firm by his kingly duty and accountability to his people and did not yield to a false sense of the childish promise.
    Abhimanyu - is Abhiman, pride. Abhimanyu knows how to plunge into (Pravarti) the battle formation called Chakravyuh (life itself), but he has not learnt how to come out of it (Nivrti). Pride drives us into innocent frenzied action without the knowledge of withdrawal or renunciation, and we perish in the struggle. Who killed him ? Jayadrath, which is the attitude that we are the physical body. (rath = the physical body in Rath kalpana). Pride with knowledge of action, unaware of renunciation, and an attitude that we are the physical body is the recipe for doom.
    Gandhiva - Arjuna’s bow is Pranavam / Om kar. The arrow is the Jivatma, the target is Paramatma. Moksha is when the arrow meets the target and becomes one non-dual whole.
    Army Divisions -
    Kauravas have 11 army divisions (Akshouhinis) - the 5 jnana indriyas + 5 karma indriyas + manas mind. Pandavas have 7 army divisions - 5 indriyas + manas + buddhi intellect. When buddhi is present, the jnana and karma indriyas which stood disparate as 10 on the evil side, now stand in harmony as five with the pandavas.
    Army Formations - on the first day of the battle,
    Kauravas form their army formation is the shape of vulture (destructive grasp).
    Against it, the Pandavas form the Padmavyuh or lotus formation. Needless to say, Lotus is the symbol of non-attachment.
    Rath Kalpana - from Kathopanishad, is the basic picture that the B.Gita evokes - Arjuna and Krishna in the chariot pulled by the 5 horses . The chariot is the body, Arjuna the chariot owner is the Self, the 5 horses are the senses, the reins are the mind, and Krishna the chariot driver is Buddhi who controls the five senses with a firm hold on the mind.
    The list can go on, ….
    Thus there are innumerable examples to say that the Itihasas or Epics are works of allegory to convey the ultimate knowledge. The sages have built into it layers of story, literature, and Bhakti so it will appeal to large sections of society and everyone can approach it from their chosen viewpoint.

    Namaskar, Sri Jeffrey Armstrong /Ravindra Rishi Ji. There are apparent very cryptic messages in the BaggcD Gita, example verse 32 chapter 11 starts with "Kalosmi" time I am Implying that Tge suprene being IS the time/space continuum without which tge do perceived material experience is NOT possible/happen. Another in Chapter two "Na tve eva ham..." where Krishna implies that we(human) neither mor the Supreme were NEVER NOT EXHIST- meaning will always exhist even though in a non physical/ material form .... and so on

    Jeffery, actually, it was the vedic literature that was given from the mouth of the Almighty. All the knowledge of the library can not fit in one book. The Gita came afterward, which are pieces of the original text, and some were mistranslated and misunderstood. If you were to read the original text, which I doubt exit here, you would find that its immense knowledge is beyond the current human level.
    The Ramayana is the living history of what happened in the time of Ram and Sita, which happened before, and will happen again. With a few changes to perfection. And has happened in several worlds and universes simultaneous
    Arriving on earth, well, that's a discussion for another time. Let's just say the creator is timeless. Your universe and the one before and after shall continue, hence timeless.

      The "Descent" in this context is not suggesting a physical descent (such as from a certain location or heaven, as in abrahamic religions), but from the highest plane of existence, which we, as humans, strive to reach or understand. He Descends so that we can ascend - he can pick us up and show us whats on the higher levels, since we, stuck in our well, need to be uplifted by the one beyond.
