Global Hindu Electronic Networks : The Hindu Universe is honored to
announce that the distinguished author Shree Bansi Pandit along with
several distinguished scholars on Hindu dharma will host a forum titled
"What is Meant to be a Hindu" on the Hindu Universe website.
This forum may be accessed by pointing your browser to :
http://www.hindunet.org/wwwboard/meant_hindu/
This forum is established to present teachings of the Hindu religious
tradition in the form of answers to questions from those who are genuinely
interested in understanding the teachings of Hinduism as enshrined in
Hindu scriptures. The readers can ask questions relative to the
historical, philosophical, ritualistic, social, ethical, yogic and
meditational dimensions of Hindu religion. The answers to the questions
will be compiled by Bansi Pandit, author of the popular books on Hinduism:
The Hindu Mind and Hindu Dharma. Depending upon the nature of the
questions asked, Bansi Pandit will seek assistance of the eminent scholars
of Hinduism, such as Swami Brahmarupananda, Dr. David Frawley, Professor
Subhash Kak, Dr. T. K. Venkateswaran, Professor V. Pandharipande in
preparing answers for this forum.
The purpose of this forum is to help both Hindus and non-Hindus,
especially younger generation, to develop a better understanding of Hindu
religion, the oldest surviving religion in the world. Hindu religion
represents a profound philosophy of life that is based upon many noble
ideals, such as harmlessness to all creatures (ahimsa), world familyhood
(Vasudhaiva kutumbakam), respect for other religions, racial and cultural
harmony, reverence for old age, respect for parents, teachers, and elders,
and cooperation with_and not exploitation of_the Nature for needed
resources. Hindu religion teaches that Truth is one, but paths are many.
Hindu scriptures declare that "cows are of different colors, but their
milk is of the same color. Beneath all different colors of the skins,
lies the blood of the same color." Devoid of dogma, blind faith or
fanaticism, Hindus act out of love for God and not out of His fear. Hindu
religion is a God-loving religion and not God-fearing one.
In today's society where family values are deteriorating rapidly, elders
are made to feel useless, unwanted, and burdensome, crime is on the rise,
individual, social and spiritual values are declining, and the environment
is deteriorating, it is essential to teach the lofty ideals of the ancient
wisdom to the younger generation. To help them live harmoniously with
themselves and with rest of the creation, they must be told what is good
and noble in life, as taught by Hindu sages and saints.
