End Of Islam, Hinduism And Christianity And Rise Of The Age Of Humanism, Spirituality And The Universal God - Sanadhana Dharma
Politics / Religion Apr 11, 2015 - 12:20 PM GMTTwenty First Century is the Age of Spirituality and Humanism, as the Humanity is getting fed up with Fascism, Materialism and Terrorism. The role and relevance of Islam, Hinduism and Christianity have been eroded for they have become fascist and materialistic, corrupted with Corporatism and Consumerism. They are on decay and decline; they have nothing to offer for the pressing problems of the Humanity.
Islam, Hinduism and Christianity, along with other religions, have become the greatest liability for the entire Humanity. The Islamic, the Hindu and the Christian worlds together spend more for war and defense industry than what they spend for poverty alleviation and human development. Sitting in the fool’s paradise, their advocates and propagandists claim that they are going to conquer the entire world.
In spite of their mega tons of prayers, sermons, sacrifices, celebrations and multi-billion dollar worth temples and pilgrimages, and above all the empty promises of Heaven or Paradise, the Humanity is moving from bad to worse. In reality, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity have become the catalysts for sustaining war, terror, poverty, inequality and misery of the millions.
The Hindu India, the Christian West and the Islamic World
Why did the earlier Hindu India collapse, keeping the majority outcasts, in spite of the great wisdom and sacrifices of the Brahmins and their Vedas? Why did the Christian Europe and America bring out a series of war, in spite of their Bible, churches and charity? Why did the Islamic World engage in Terrorism and Conflicts both internally and externally, in spite of their Koran, Prophets, Zakat, Five Times Prayers and Haj pilgrimage?
Is there any solution for the growing crisis of the Humanity? In the failure of Islam, Hinduism and Christianity, what is the alternative to lead the Humanity towards Peace and Progress? These are the basic questions for which answers must be found out urgently. This is an attempt in understanding these questions. Solutions will emerge soon, if the questions are understood properly.
Research on Religions and Fascism
After conducting study and research on the Hinduism, the Christianity, the Islam and the Fascism, besides Yoga, for more than 40 years, I am getting realized the depth and beauty of the Ancient Indian Wisdom - Sanadhana Dharma. It is a thousand times superior to Islam, Christianity and Hinduism or Brahmanism and it has great relevance in the coming days to save the Humanity from great crisis. Indian Wisdom and Spirituality (not Hinduism or Brahmanism) have to offer many things beautiful to the Humanity. Islam, Christianity and Hinduism can learn a lot from its Humanism, Spirituality and Universal God.
The Inheritors of Sanadhana Dharma
The Greatest Tragedy of India is that it miserably fails to realize its own Wisdom and Spirituality for its Hindu Fundamentalism that has become the Universal Tragedy too. The Humanity as whole is the looser. Sanadhana Dharma, originated from the way of life of the people of the Great Indus Valley Civilization, even before the origin of the Brahmins and Sanskrit, is the basis of the Indian Wisdom and Spirituality. The people of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and to some extent the people of Iran are the inheritors of Sanadhana Dharma.
A detailed discussion on Sanadhana Dharma has already been made in my recent works: ‘Countering Terrorism And Fundamentalism With The Ancient Indian Wisdom: ' Sanadhana Dharma' http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article48471.html , Strategic, Methodological and Developmental Importance of Knowledge Consumption - Production in Countering Terrorism and Ensuring Peace http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article48326.html and ‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi and The Ideological Contradictions of The Hindu Fundamentalism’http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article49456.html .
Hinduism or Brahmanism
Sanadhana Dharma is quite different from the Vedic Religion of Hinduism based on the Vedic gods, The Epic Religion of Hinduism based on the Epic Heroes like Rama or Krishna or the Trinity God consisting of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, besides their wives and children, and the Brahmanic Religion of Hinduism (Brahmanism), elevating the Brahmins and their cows, far superior to the rest of the Hindu society, including kings.
Brahmanism was founded on the Caste System, a regimented division of the society into four water-tight compartments, putting the Brahmins at the top and then the Kshatriyas charged with the protection and well-being of the Brahmins and their Cows. The protection of the cows of the Brahmins led to the worshiping of cows and banning the cow slaughter. The role of the Vishays was to provide economic and military support to the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, making use of the Slaves or Sudras, now known as the Dalits in India. The Dalits are prevented in mingling with the Brahmins, including entering or worshiping in the Hindu temples.
Yogis, scholars and God-men
The great scholars like Max Muller or Dr. S. Radakrishna, the great yogis or missionaries like Swami Vivekanda tried to enlighten the western world with the Indian Wisdom and Spirituality. But the international community is still confused the Indian Wisdom and Spirituality with the Yogis, God-men or God-women like Rajneesh, Sathiya Sai Bava, Sri Sri Ravisankar, Mata Amarthandamai, the exponents of Geetha, Ramayana or Mahabharata and above all the BJP and the Sang Parivar.
Islam, Brahmanism and Fascism
Though the BJP and the Sang Parivar have been advocating the new brand of Hindadva or Hindu Fundamentalism for the last 25 years, they could not go deep in the Indian Wisdom and Spirituality other than projecting the Vedic Hinduism or Brahmanism or epic heroes like Rama or Krishna. Just like Islam, Brahmanism too is founded on the Fascist ideology of the chosen people of the god, dominance over or terror and violence against the common people without any Humanism and Spirituality. Just like Islam, the Brahmanism too has different warring sects. For the Muslims, the warring sects include the Sunny and the Shia Muslims and for the Brahmins, the warring sects consist of the Shivite and the Vishanavite Brahmins.
A set of military-like drills or practices and a capsule like regimented faith and worshiping, including sacrifices, fasting and pilgrimages and using a particular language like Arabic or Sanskrit for prayer or 'mantra' constitute the sum and substances of Islam and Brahmanism which have a common root originated from the Semitic culture or the faiths of Abraham.
Materialistic Religions of Islam and Brahmanism
There is nothing like Spirituality and Humanism in Islam and Brahmanism; they are materialistic religions; even their Gods and life after death too are materialistic. God is like a Dreadful Emperor who demands Praise or Worship several times in a day at regular intervals; Hell or Heaven too is with material pain or pleasures. Terrorism - brutally killing oneself or others for the God or faith - is embedded in Islam, as it ensures greater materiel pleasures in the Paradise.
In Brahmanism, hell or heaven is represented through re-birth or ‘punarjanma’ with materiel pains or pleasures. However, the Brahmins are made free from re-birth, though others have to undergo such a process. Both Islam and Brahmanism are basically Fascist in nature, even though in Fascism, the God is substituted by the Leader or Furor. They advocate or practice cold-blooded murder of the enemies of their gods.
Failure of Christianity
Christianity fails to realize the spirit of the teachings of Jesus Christ that are based on the Sanadhana Dharma, for the later interpolation of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Laws of Moses and the Prophets into the Christianity. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was not a universal God at all but mere a desert tribal war deity, treating all other tribes or peoples his enemies. That is why; War is the integral part of the Christian Europe and America and Christianity has split into hundreds of quarreling sects, some of which engaged only in sermons.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Father of Jesus is a Loving, Merciful and Peaceful Universal God who demands to love and forgiving even the enemies. The Kingdom of God that Jesus propounded is a Spiritual Abode, unlike the Paradise of Islam or the rebirth of Brahmanism.
The Alternative
For the last few years, I have been writing on the Sanadhana Dharma for the international community, as an alternative to Islam, Christianity and Brahmanism that fail to address or solve the basic problems of the Humanity and ensuring Peace and Development. The Humanity is a Great Crisis riddled with the Religious Terrorism and Fundamentalism coupled with rising Poverty, Inequality and Sufferings. This is also a follow up of my latest work 'Jesus - Neither a Prophet Nor the Only Son of God - A View Opposing Both Islam and Christianity', http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article50141.html. In the end of the article, I have given a list of some relevant articles.
