Dharma vs Religion - Shankar Sharan -

In this very important Indic Talk, Dr. Shankar Sharan discusses a very important topic, and juxtaposes Dharma vs. religion. He starts out by saying that the commonest misconception in modern India is that ‘all religions are same’. Equating Dharma to Religion gives one the impression that Hinduism is just like Islam and Christianity.
Shankar Sharan says that Semitic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam cannot be called Dharma. The category designated for them, religion, thus, cannot be translated as Dharma; that ‘religion’ is a mistranslation of ‘dharma’. Dharma is not religion. In many respects Dharma is the opposite of religion. All religions, hence, are NOT same. He goes on to explain why this is so.
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, Shintoism and hundreds of pagan, polytheistic sects all over the world belong to the Dharmic tradition. Judaism, Christianity and Islam belong to the category of Religion.
Prophetic Monotheistic/ Semitic religions believe that all other sects are false and followers of Satan. They believe in One True God, One True Book, and believe that the world is divided between believers and non-believers. While laws apply to believers, the non-believers have no rights. They also divide space between the Kingdom of God and the Realm of Unbelievers and Time also in Age of Knowledge and Age of Ignorance.
Dr. Shankar Sharan charts out many such differences between religion on one hand and dharma on another.

The trend is Abrahamic religions are facing great challenges from atheist movement and science and I am sure there is uncertain future for them.

[@chilarai1]

The term "Hindu" or "dharmic" includes Sikhism, Buddhism, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, Jainism etc that all are based on the Indic knowledge of dharma, karma, moksha that no other belief system has. This makes us probably the largest "religion" on earth, something the semitic religions cannot allow. That is why they try hard to separate Sikhism and Buddhism from "Hinduism". The growing awareness through videos like this is our saving grace. Thank you.

Let us get the problem correctly. Please be clear - 'Dharma is not Religion.' Dharmas are spirituality and are good. Religions are the sources of violence and are bad. Dharmas (Shaiva, Vaishnav, Bauddha, Tao, Tantra, Sikh, Jain, etc.) are about seeking truth 'Satya' and disciplines of inner progress 'Yoga.' Dharmas are different path\marga\pantha\tao\discipline of spirituality. Dharmas overlap, borrows freely from each other and do not use violence. An individual may choose to follow any, all or none. It is up to the individual to be interested, learn and practice. Hinduism is the collection of all the Dharmas evolved in our region. It is a geographical definition. Hindu means people living between Himalayan range and ‘Indu’ or Indian ocean. Thus, we Hindus go to all temples\monasteries, pray and try to learn all. Each of these Dharmas begins with 'OM' to express the commonality. Muslims like to look down upon all others. It is the very evil nature of Islam. Thus, they define all the people in India ‘Hindus’ as black and low. That means everybody in India. Such insults define Islam and Muslims not Hindus. Hinduism has two parts. A. Astik or concepts based on Vedas, and b. Nastik - concepts independent of Veda. However, both overlaps, freely borrow from each other, and are parts of Hinduism. Buddhism is a part of Hinduism. It is a part of Nastik systems. It uses only empirical and experiential methods, but no belief system. Thus, in human endeavor in understanding the universe it comes after science. Buddha himself was the ordained monk of the ‘Nirwanee’ lineage within ‘Shankhya’ school. Shankhya Darshan itself comes from Adwaita\Shaiva Darshan. That is, Buddha Dharma is a subset of Shankhya, which is again a subset of Shaiva Dharma. Buddha means the ‘enlightened’ person, not a God. However, after the advent of Mahayan, Buddha became ‘Karunamaya\Avalokiteshwor’, which is divine taking care of ordinary people like us. Thus, he is the Avatar of divine Narayan. Though Buddha taught in Pali, it does not mean he was teaching new concepts. All he did was he taught in Pali, what already taught in Sanskrit. He merely used the language used then. Tripitak is mostly rehash of ideas already discussed in Veda and other scriptures. Religions (Christianity, Islam, Communism, Fascism, etc.) are brainwashing systems for social control. They are the products of tribal survival and conquest. It is the militarization of society, not spirituality. Each claims exclusive truth, all others evil and use violence. They define their violence as divinely ordained. This is the core of the problem. messe I. Dharma: Truth always triumphs Satyam eva jayate Goodness comes out of goodness Om mani padme hum Nothing is equivalent to knowledge Nahi gnanena sadrsham The whole world is a family Vasundhaiva kutumbakam May all be happy Sarve api sukhino santu All are common by birth, Janma jaata shudra sarve, superiority by good will and deeds karmena brahman bhavati Let truth shine over un-truths, Asato ma Sadagamaya, let light shine over darkness tamaso ma jyothirgamaya Where women are treated with dignity, Yatra naari poojyanthe, there roam divinity ramane tetra devata Truth is one, sages call it differently Ekam sat, vipraha bahudha vadanti Entire universe is pervaded by God Isha vasya midam sarvam We are all the children of God Sarve amritasya putrah Within all of us divinity resides Aham brahmasmi Treat parent and teacher like Gods Matru, pitru, guru devo bhava Speak truth, speak sweet, Satyam vada, priyam vada, do virtuous deeds dharmam chara We are children of the earth Mata bhumih putro ham prithvyah Let good thoughts come from everywhere Aa no bhadrah kratavo yantu vishwatah Many paths to the summit Sarva dharma sama bhava Victory is where virtue is Yeto dharma stato jaya Divinity in every heart Ishwor sarba hridaya tisthati Divinity - truth, auspicious and beautiful Satyam, shivam, sundaram Divinity - truth, conscious and bliss Sat, chit, ananda Let there be no Animosity amongst us Ma vidvisavahai, Divine, peace, peace, peace Om, Shantih, Shantih, Shantih. II. Christianity: It is the nature of the evil Christianity to attack other’s heritage and Dharma. The aggression amounts to the cultural genocide, which is the human rights violation. Christianity is a violent religion with ‘peace’ as a front. Christianity killed non-Christians by millions in Europe, Americas and Africa. It dragged Europe down to the Dark Age and caused holocaust. Now it is attacking us. Its core nonsensical doctrine is "All Christians go to heaven, no matter how evil. All others go to hell, no matter how virtuous." Converts must agree that their heritage is evil; and all their mother, father, ancestors gone to hell. Bible: Deuteronomy 12:2-3 Destroy others temples and destroy images of their Gods. John 14:6 Jesus is the only way. All non-Christians will go to hell. Acts 4:12 There is no salvation in any other religions. John 3:16-18 All non-Christians are condemned to hell already. God said, Exodus 20:5 I am jealous God. If you bow to other Gods, I will punish even your children up to 4rth generations. Number 31: Attack Midian tribe. Kill all men, women and children; except virgin girls. Plunder their wealth and burn their villages. You enjoy their wealth and virgins. (Note the vicious character of the Biblical God). Jesus said, Matthew 10:34 I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Luke 19:27 Kill them before me, who would not accept me as the King. John 6:53 Unless you eat the flesh and drink blood of Jesus, you have no life. Matthew 15:24 I am here to help only Jews or the people of Israel. (Jesus was not exactly for ‘peace’ as Christian propaganda would like you to believe) Christianity in action: 1. Churches tortured and converted Hindus by force kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4Oyk55ujbOAoa8 2. Inquisition and torture tools, 50 million tortured to death. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKmbgZeshKp_rLs 3.

What cruelty ,' harvest of soul '

[@sivakumarr2418]

The English word RELIGION denotes a crowd following some discipline - look at the Abrahamic religions Christianity, Islam etc. Also such religions have a CENTRAL High-command for e.g. Vatican, Saudi Arabia etc. So one power center "fights" with another power center. Religion can be translated as "Sampradaya". Where the Central Command has weak influence - like in US or the developed West, the religion is simply ignored in preference to materialism. God is simply forgotten since things are going fine! In Sanatana Sharma - Hinduism - there are many Sampradaya - Saivism, Vaishnavism, Saaktham, Gaanapatyam etc. There is NO Central command, no quarrels resulting in bloodbath/violence! Apart from Sampradaya, the Dharma - living conduct is almost same for the different Sampradaya in Hindu Religion! There is always a secret agenda within each Abrahamic religion which the gullible Hindus don't realise and get victimised.
