AS SOUL LEAVES ONE BODY AND TAKES ANOTHER ONE, HINDUISM TOO LEAVES OLDER FORMS AND TAKE NEW ONE IN DIFFERENT AGES WHILE REMAINING ITS TRUESELF.THAT IS WHY IT IS SANATAN (IMMORTAL) LIKE SOUL.

Hinduism is the oldest spiritual tradition of this world and is all about liberty and freedom to carve one's own path to divine.It has no concept of apostasy or blasphemy or even conversion! But without any push towards conversion it is winning hearts and minds of people all over the world by it's teaching,love and philosophy alone.

Liberty is gr8est asset of humanity and no liberty is gr8er than liberty of choosing your Gods/Goddesses or none!!That is Hinduism-Liberty and Liberation!!

Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that can not be defined but is only to be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love.

Hindu texts laugh at religions as being the dogma of self-righteous fools and emphasize on Dharma-the righteous way. Hinduism is just a convenient label for the worlds oldest spiritual and philosophical tradition.

"The key Hindu concept of dharma - the right way, the sanctioned way, which all men must follow, according to their natures - is an elastic concept. At its noblest it combines self-fulfillment and truth to the self with the ideas of action as duty, action as its own spiritual reward, man as a holy vessel."



Brahma satyam jagat mithyā, jīvo brahmaiva nāparah — Brahma is the only truth, the world is a Maya, and there is ultimately no difference between Brahman and individual self.

Hinduism says that the world is not real (true), it is an illusion, but this is because of some logical reasons. Let us first analyze the definition of Truth, and hence why the world is not considered real(true). * It says that whatever thing remains eternal is true, and whatever is non-eternal is untrue. Since the world is created and destroyed, it is not real (true). * Truth is the thing which is unchanging. Since the world is changing, it is not real (true). * Whatever is independent of space and time is real (true), and whatever has space and time in itself is real (true). * Just as one sees dreams in sleep, he sees a kind of super-dream when he is waking. The world is compared to this conscious dream. * The world is believed to be a superimposition of the Brahman. Superimposition cannot be real (true).

On the other hand, it claims that the world is not absolutely unreal(false). It appears unreal (false) only when compared to Brahman. In the pragmatic state, the world is completely real—which occurs as long as we are under the influence of Maya. The world cannot be both true and false at the same time; hence Adi Shankara has classified the world as indescribable. The following points suggest that according to hinduism, the world is not false (Adi Shankara himself gave most of the arguments): * If the world were unreal (false), then with the liberation of the first human being, the world would have been annihilated. However, the world continues to exist even if a human attains liberation. * It believes in Karma, or human actions leads to consequences from which their is no escaping. This is a feature of this world. So the world cannot be unreal (false). * The Supreme Reality Brahman is the basis of this world. The world is like its reflection. Hence the world cannot be totally unreal (false). * False is something which is ascribed to nonexistent things, like Sky-lotus. The world is a logical thing which is perceived by our senses.

Consider the following logical argument. A pen is placed in front of a mirror. One can see its reflection. To one's eyes, the image of the pen is perceived. Now, what should the image be called? It cannot be true, because it is an image. The truth is the pen. It cannot be false, because it is seen by our eyes.
