[@rajnikantchande2677]

Aryan Yadav You are right.....that should be our objective.....but, first & foremost, we, the Hindus ( in India & abroad ) must read the Bhagavad Gita DAILY for atleast one hour with a focused mind and try to understand it , by meditating on each & every verse ..and , understand the REAL PURPOSE OF LIFE by learning from the Gita about the Supreme Lord Krishna ( Bhagavan ) & his 64 divine qualities, pastimes etc.....this is the preliminary step to reestablish our ( jiv atma's ) original selfless loving relationship with Sri Krishna . We ( Hindus ) cannot just go out to the wider world to make it a better place, when we do not know who Bhagavan is & what His divine qualities are & why He created the material world & why we , the living entities ( billions of jiv atmas ) are trapped in this material world of birth, old age, disease & death ( in a continuous cycle of reincarnation ) , As Krishna says to Arjuna, , to understand the deeper meaning of the Gita, we must engage in selfless Devotional service ( Bhakti Yoga ), in a humble state of mind, to Krishna such as : by daily reading of the Gita or by chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra daily, by engaging in service (;seva) to i Sri Krishna's devotees at a temple etc etc . Whilst engaging in such service ( seva), we should learn to be conscious of the fact we are serving Krishna , through his devotees, as His eternal servants, without desiring any rewards for such seva.. ..humility is the key to progress & success in Bhakti Yoga ( Devotional service) ie Vaishnavism which is a branch of Hinduism. By engaging in devotional services stated above, we will begin to develop strong , unflinching faith in Krishna and be ready to SURRENDER to Krishna unconditionally. In so doing, we would be totally dependent on Krishna on all aspects of our life. In turn, Krishna will become our guide, companion, friend etc and, depending upon the degree of our surrender to Him, He ( Krishna ) will empower us , guide us in our day to day life, And, if our ambition is to go out to the wider world to reshape the humanity 's consciousness and raise it to the higher ( transcendental) level, than, without hesitation, Krishna will also give us the necessary qualities, skills, virtues & a higher level of intelligence to engage in raising the global consciousness. However , whilst engaged in such seva, we should always be conscious of the fact that, we are engaged in such seva , as servants of and for the pleasure of Lord Krishna. Working in such a state of mind, Krishna assures us, just as he assured Arjuna at the start of the Mahabharat's epic Kurukshetra battle , that we will not suffer any negative karmic reactions. All glories to Sri Krishna All glories to Bhagavad Gita ( ISKCON edition of the Gita, in my opinion, is the only authentic Bhagavad Gita , because it is translated , with Purports in English, by the founder Acharya of global ISKCON Hare Krishna Movement, Swami Prabhupada who was in a direct disciplic succession ( parampara) of the founding father of Vedic religion). All glories to Srila Prabhupada Hare Krishna 19.05.2021

Agree. I have been saying since decades that most Hindus are shallow Hindus as I have seen foreigners go very deep ( in whichever subject interests them) by reading Upanishads, sooktas etc. Also while singing bhajans they sing from heart tears came from my eyes when a Dutch dentist and a French physician (also a painter) sang bhajan in which I was also one of the lead singers at Satya Sai centre n Akhanda bhajans ( in 1990s and 2000s). Most sing from throat just want to show off their shāshtreeya sangeeta jnāna!

[@arjunkumar9762]

Agree but what I've seen so far that only HINDUS r pushing sikhism as their faith too with sikhism being sanatana dharma. But quite opposite many radical sikhs (may be some khalistani sitting abroad) are in blind run to portray sikhism as complete different abrahmic faith. DHARMA is one & it isn't religion. We all hindu sikhs buddhist & jains r one sanatan dharmi. Btw what ur friend or family think of this ?? Do they consider it totally different from sanatana dharma ??

We follow the Teachings of Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, 1817-1892, who was Persian but unfairly exiled to Palestine in 1868. He taught Progressive Revelation. That God, the Unknowable Essence, sends a Divine Teacher, He called Them Manifestations of God, on Earth to raise the spirits of all humans. He acknowledged Krishna in the progression along with many others. Deeply appreciate your dialogue. We need consultations with substance! Bravo.

I'm South African Indian & I'm Hindu and a few week's ago, my best friend who is Christian says to me "Bro do you know Hinduism is not happening in India anymore"... As much as I wanted to disagree and argue with him that Hinduism will never die in the Motherland, I kept quiet, because all I ever hear recently is how many Indians are converting to either Christianity or Islam. Is Hinduism really under threat of totally disappearing in Bharat???

[@Dharmicaction]

Awareness about hindu/dharmic tradition and the difficulties it is facing has increases substantially since December 2012 (The end of Kaliyuga). We are in the transition period to Dwapra yoga during which both dharma and adharma will be equally present unlike Kaliyuga during which only adharma is present. So, you can disagree with your friend by saying that even though there are different efforts by Abrahamic religions to derail dharmic tradition, there is also new resistance from the hindu side since 2012 due to increase in awareness.

[@darknesstolight3345]

God, Bhagawan and prayer are good examples. Bhaga also means light or brightness. I now beginning to think that even the names such as Vasudeva, Vishnu, Rama, Shiva we use have meaning, rather than just about unknown, unrecognised being, sitting somewhere.

[@Dharmicaction]

Shiva/Vishnu/Brahma are just cosmic allegories for the conscious, immanent (athma), immortal, immutable, transcendent and omnipresent divine and their wives Shakthi/Lakshmi/Saraswathi are also cosmic allegories for the intelligent energy. Husband and wife always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. eg Birth/death (including reincarnation cycle), energy/matter, wave/particle etc. Above all Tat Tvam Asi - "you (conscious and immanent atma) are (already) that (conscious, transcendent and omnipresent paramathma) regardless of whether you realize it or not because without the immanent and conscious athma nothing can exist or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen.

But it does not negate the fact Tat Tvam Asi - "you (conscious and immanent atma) are (already) that (conscious, transcendent and omnipresent paramathma) regardless of whether you realize it or not because without the immanent and conscious athma nothing can exist or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen including birth/death (reincarnation cycle) or wave/particle or energy/matter etc.
